Welcome...Welcome...Welcome! Smooth Gentleman here for the third (Last? Maybe Not!) edition of my series on women's wrestling. During this edition I will share my thoughts on the future of women's wrestling. You can view (Part I) & (Part II) by clicking the preceding links.

I have heard quite a few differing opinions from "wrestling" fans about women's wrestling in the United States. I use the term wrestling there loosely; as I feel wrestling is wrestling, no matter the gender of those in the ring.


Yet, I have heard that women's wrestling, "Promotes violence against women," "Women have no place in wrestling," "They're just there for the boys entertainment," and a number of different opinions from other fans.

...Yeah, I know....

I won't spend anytime going over such...ignorant assessments on wrestling. While everyone is entitled to their own opinion, it doesn't mean those opinions come from a well guided source.

Welcome Sharp Shooter Press readers, Smooth Gentleman here with the second editorial (Part I)

in my three part series on women's wrestling. As announced within the first part of the series, I will be focusing on the Joshi scene in Japan throughout this entry.

After writing my first editorial I had a very interesting "conversation" with a fellow wrestling fan that has a very unique view on women's wrestling. So, instead of jumping straight into my opinions on the Joshi scene I will provide some commentary on this conversation.

State of Women's Wrestling Part I

Welcome Sharp Shooter Press readers, this is my first article here at the website. As you might have guessed, I am a life long wrestling fan. I have been ever since I accidentally turned to a channel with wrestling when I was about five years old.

My taste in wrestling has changed as dramatically in some instances as much as it has stayed the same. I will be going into greater detail with my wrestling preferences during my upcoming radio show under my "Smooth Gentleman" tag in the near future.
