Female and male professional wrestling in America is a multi billion Dollars industry-empire with annual proceeds and profits that exceed all the revenues, earnings, proceeds, income, royalties, wages and commissions of Julia Roberts, Opra Wimphrey, David Letterman, Jay Leno, Johnny Carson, Tom Brokaw, Dan Rather, Robert Di Nero, Al Paccino, Pavarotti, Cher, Madonna, Dixie Chicks, Michael Jackson, Cameroon Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, Magic Jackson, Kobe Bryant, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Barbra Streisand combined together! Thanks to the genius of one man: Vince MacMahon, the modern godfather of American professional wrestling in general and to the gorgeous and outrageous American female wrestlers, divas of the ring. Barnum and the Ringling Brothers Circus show: The greatest show on earth. Right? No more! Is it the 3 Sopranos concert? Not really. Was it Woodstock? Princess Di and Prince Charles wedding ceremony? No way! The coronation of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte? Think again. The parade of Eisenhower’s GIs on Les Champs Elysees after the liberation of Paris? Man landing on the moon? The Nobel Prize awards ceremony? Nope! It is the World Wrestling Federation’s Wrestlemania matches! And particularly, the American professional female wrestlers kicking, punching and screaming duels in the ring!

No one in the history of entertainment and showbiz made more money than the stars (males and females) of American wrestling. All the money Clark Gable, James Cagney, Robert Taylor, Johnny Wayne, Elizabeth Taylor, Erol Flynn, Rita Hayworth, Liberace, Elton John, Judy Garland, Maria Callas, Caruso, Al Johnson, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley… all the money those superstars made in their lifetime are a drop in the bucket when you compare it to the big time “real” money professional wrestling generates annually in America. So, don’t assume that professional women’s wrestling is a vanity fair or a comedy. It is among the world’s biggest shows and most watched mass entertainment production-display in 169 countries. Those ladies are the divas of the ring. The divas of the biggest show on earth. They are the sublime mistresses of showmanship; queens of the tragicomic sport transvestia, perfect actresses of the human comedia, outrageous and talkative announcers, ring announcers extraordinaire, mistresses of ceremonies,  leather, techno, hi fi, ultra modern half psychodellico-half mind twisted futuristic moda human runways mannequins, priestesses of pain, fantastic performers at an acrobatic and monumental esthetics…they glitter, they attack with lightening force and speed, they are well built with a lot of steel muscles and tanned sparkling flesh to show. In short,  they are real artists and world class performers, whether you like it or not.
