I disagree with this statement. For years, women have served as eye candy on the side without ever having to worry about stepping into the ring. Miss Elizabeth, Sunshine, Precious, Missy Hyatt, etc. Having ditzy blondes in wrestling isn't a problem. It is what the company does with those girls.
Precious never had a wrestling match that I know of but everyone remembers Flair giving her a fur coat. Missy Hyatt was a whore's whore but I don't recall her being in any match. Just because you are a woman in wrestling doesn't mean you should have to step into the ring. The fact the Fed wanted her to be a wrestler in the first place is just stupid.
