In a recent interview with WhatCulture, former AEW Women’s World Champion Britt Baker replied to some wrestling fans who have been criticizing female talents for working hardcore matches.
According to Baker, gender shouldn’t be a matter of concern if the viewers enjoy the hardcore match. She said,
“I think, at the end of the day, people like what they like and they hate what they hate. You can’t put women in a box and not let them break out of it. If you like hardcore matches, then you should like hardcore matches. It shouldn’t matter who’s in the ring. If it’s a good match, it’s a good match. No matter who’s on either side of the ring. They’re definitely not fun. It hurts, for a long time too. It does hurt. I wouldn’t take back anything I’ve done, I’m very proud of it. I’m happy, I’m happy for what it did for AEW, myself, and for women’s wrestling.”
