- Top 5: “Smiley” Kylie Rae
There’s something for everyone when it comes to wrestling; the stories, the epic matches, or the characters/gimmicks themselves. The industry has a plethora of different gimmicks, ranging from muscular ruffians, sexy badasses, and comedic characters. Then there’s ‘smiley Kylie Rae’, who somehow is a perfect mixture of a fun loveable badass. During her time in the wrestling business, Kylie Rae has made a name for herself in larger promotions such as AEW and Impact. However, I’d understand if wrestling fans have forgotten this fun character. As lovely and amazing as she is, her run in these larger promotions was cut short per her wishes. After taking a break to focus on herself and mental health, “Smiley Kylie Rae” has recently returned to the wrestling world. For those that haven’t kept her on their radar, or maybe don’t know of her at all, I’d like to highlight my personal top five Kylie Rae moments. 5. Kylie Rae vs. Jordynne Grace (Title Match Wrestling – Ladies Night Out 2) I never expected Jordynne Grace to be a perfect opponent for the small Smiley Kylie Rae. Looking at these two women individually, you’d believe that Jordynne would absolutely destroy Kylie. However, this match was continuously neck and neck, with both women pulling out all the stops to get ahead. Uncharacteristically, Kylie Rae even began taunting the crowd and her opponent once she started to lose momentum. This match allowed both women to showcase their athletic power and ultimately ended with Jordynne powerbombing Kylie Rae to defeat. WATCH IT HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU1MFihCXTc 4. AEW Debut Early in 2019, at AEW’s Double or Nothing Pay-per-view, Kylie Rae made her Debut. Her debut match included Britt Baker, Awesome Kong, and Nyla Rose, unfortunately ending in a losing effort. Kylie’s first AEW match itself is not the reason that this moment made my list, however. I have a personal connection to this particular event. My first introduction to the wrestling industry was my boyfriend showing me Rae’s Double or Nothing entrance. Not the match, not the media scrum, not even the highlights. Just her entrance. Her positivity and contagious smile filled me with excitement and anticipation. I wanted to see more. Not to mention, Kylie Rae debuting at an event like Double or Nothing allowed more eyes to see her, and thus expanding her wrestling career. 3. Kylie Rae vs. Orange Cassidy (Beyond Wrestling) A match between two comedic-style gimmicks might not always make the most entertaining fight. However, Kylie Rae and Orange Cassidy were able to make it work to their advantage. They started the match off with comedy while not overdoing it, then moved seamlessly into a more serious, competitive style to finish. Both wrestlers were able to showcase their incredible athletic ability and comedic, fun characters. This match is definitely worth a watch.

Kylie Rae vs. Thunder Rosa (Warrior Wrestling 2021) Anyone who has watched wrestling recently knows what an absolute monster Thunder Rosa is inside the ring. She’s driven, athletic, and very competitive. While Kylie is bubbly and sweet, she also has a competitive streak when it comes to wrestling. Booking these women against each other was a perfect decision. Their chemistry was unmatched compared to other matches I have watched of Kylies. Their athleticism shined in a new light and allowed both women to go at it in the ring. Their match included perfectly executed maneuvers, moments of Thunder Rosa’s sass, Kylie Rae’s “Happy to be here” mentality, and a plethora of brutal chops. I can say with 100% certainty that this match delivered on all accounts and is a perfect example of how women’s matches can, and are, as entertaining as the men.

Kylie Rae retains her Warrior Wrestling Championship On Saturday, June 5th in the Windy City of Chicago Illinois, Kylie Rae made her return to the ring after a 7-month hiatus from leaving Impact Wrestling. Her scheduled opponent was none other than Thunder Rosa. However, this perfect matchup would not come to fruition as Kylie Rae would instead face Holidead. This change of competition did not lower the excitement for this match. The setup was perfect. Kylie Rae made her return to wrestling in the Windy City, her hometown. The moment her music started fans erupted with ear-piercing screams. I was lucky enough to view this event in person. There’s no way I could even begin to describe how wholesome this moment was. Kylie had the biggest grin as her eyes filled with tears. The fans were screaming and smiling as they laid their eyes on one of their favorite women return to her passion. Oftentimes, we forget that wrestlers aren’t just their characters. They are real human beings with feelings, emotions, and struggles. Kylie Rae has never hidden her struggles from the fans or media. All too often, I see comments or posts saying that Rae should leave the industry for good and that her off-and-on behavior is unacceptable and unprofessional. As someone that also struggles with mental illness, I do not condone that mentality. Kylie Rae has done the difficult, but necessary task of taking care of her mental health. #JordynneGrace #WomensWrestling #KylieRae #OrangeCassidy #NWA #AEW #ThunderRosa

- Top 5: Sensational Sherri
A cornerstone of the Hulkamania era, few women stood out as much as Sensational Sherri. More than capable of holding her own, Sherri was a rare talent. One that neither surpassed nor was eclipsed by the larger than life personalities that surrounded her. Whether she was in the ring or a valet, she elevated everyone around her. With the new age she helped usher in, fizzling out soon after it started, Sherri Martel is a name lost on modern fans. And who can blame them? The evolution of wrestling over the last 40 years has been drastic. Anything before the early 00s does not gel with our modern sensibilities from a storyline and in-ring perspective. Combine that with WWE’s failure to treat these women with the reverence and awe they do of other wrestlers of the era. I do not blame modern fans if Sensational Sherri is not on their radar. Despite all this, Sherri still endures. She is a name that stands out and, along with Miss Elizabeth, as one of the defining characters of the Hulkamania Era. For those not in the know, here are a few of Sherri Martel’s finest moments to show why Martel’s name continues to be synonymous with 80s/90s wrestling. 5. Sherri Martel Wins the WWF Women’s Championship on her Debut Debuting at the Sam Houston Arena on July 24th 1987, Sherri stood across the ring from, at that point, the biggest name in women’s wrestling, The Fabulous Moolah. The two were polar opposites, Moolah, a grizzled woman in all black, Sherri pretty and in 80s neon colours. In a massive upset, Sherri won the title on her first night in the company, a rare feat that only Paige and Gail Kim have achieved since. By modern standards, the match is slow. Yet, that fact doesn’t dampen the impact of what was a passing of the torch moment. With the departure of Wendy Richter, Sherri looked posed to be one of the staples of the division. The match marked the beginning of Sherri’s 440-day title reign, making her one of the longest-running women’s champions. Sadly the division never had the opportunity to flourish. Three years after her title victory, the division would dissolve. 4. Sherri’s Induction into the Hall of Face 2006 was a stacked year for WWE’s Hall of Fame. Headlined by Eddie Guerrero and Bret Hart, Sheri was also inducted and the second woman to receive the honour. The accolade shows not only her popularity amongst fans but amongst the boys. Having earned the respect of Ted DiBiase, Jessie Ventura and Shawn Michaels, Sherri proved she was just as deserving of her spot as any man. 3. Managing Shawn Michaels Managers are like wine. When paired with the correct dish, the end result can be a total game-changer. They can elevate something already good into something truly outstanding. For Shawn Michaels, his perfect accompaniment was Sensational Sherri. Fresh off valeting for Randy Savage and Ted DiBiase, Sherri lent her star power as a heel to Shawn Michaels, who was fresh off throwing his best friend through a glass window. Shawn had been a babyface opening act as one half of The Rockers. Now on the verge of moving up the card, Shawn needed someone to give him that extra boost to really get the fans to hate him. Coming in as Shawn’s side piece, Sheeri was the missing piece of the puzzle, helping to elevate Shawn’s new ‘Boy Toy’ persona. Most iconically, Sherri lent her voice to Shawn’s entrance music. Singing the words to Sexy Boy went hand in hand with the obnoxious persona of the couple. The song was so iconic that it continued to follow Shawn for the rest of his career, well after the ‘sexy boy’ moniker lost its meaning. Sherri was the special ingredient that helped lift The Heartbreak Kid from talented tag team specialists to main-eventer. 2. No Holds Barred Promo If you distilled everything about the Hulkamania era into a promo, this is it. It’s loud, it’s colourful, it’s downright insane, and it is one of the first things that springs to mind when I think of Sensational Sherri. It shows the true power she had as a presence in wrestling. Any lesser performer would be swallowed by the massive personalities of The Macho King and Tommy “Tiny” Lister. Sherri matches their insanity, going full Saturday morning cartoon villainess. 80s wrestling in its purest form. 1. Sensational Sherri at Wrestlemania 7 In one of the few genuinely touching moments in WWE, Sherri’s moment in the spotlight in the reuniting of Macho Man Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth is Sherri’s crowning achievement. It is Sherri doing what she does best, elevating a scene. The way she dashes away from the Ultimate Warrior to her putting the boots to a semi-conscious Savage. She may not be the focus of the moment, but Sherri plays a pivotal role. She is the inciting incident in an iconic moment in WWE History that outshone the main event of that year. It is a must-watch moment, made all the better by Sherri’s presence. #ShawnMichaels #SherriMartel #RandySavage #womenswrestling #sensationalsherri #WWF #womenswrestlingtalk #WWE
