0:00.0 | Welcome to the Busted Open Podcast. This is the Busted Open Podcast. You can listen to the full show Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon Eastern on serious XM, Fight Nation Channel 156. |
0:17.0 | Welcome to the Busted Open Podcast. I'm Denise Salcedo. Today we're celebrating our 14th anniversary of the show and our first ever all-female Busted Open. |
0:28.0 | And speaking of which, we're going to cover the women in wrestling who inspire us. Thunder and I will give you our wrestler of the week and the creator of Busted Open. |
0:38.0 | Dave LaGrecca joins us on this anniversary show with a very special announcement. That's all coming up next on the Busted Open Podcast. |
0:50.0 | We were kind of just talking about women that have really been game changers in the sport of wrestling and I can't wait to kind of dive into this and find out who are some of the names that you think have either past, present, that have just really made such a huge influence in the sport of wrestling. |
1:09.0 | But also we want to make sure we hear from the nation who are some of the names, who are some of the women that you're like we need to talk about this person and what they have done in pro wrestling. |
1:20.0 | Feel free to give us a call 877-344-4893. Thunder and I want to hear from you here today. But Thunder, I guess I'll go ahead and get you right going into this. |
1:33.0 | When you think of women that have really just been trailblazers in this sport for you, who are some of the first names or the first names that popped up in your mind. |
1:45.0 | Let me take my glasses off for this one. |
1:48.0 | So there is, there is a long, long, long line of women that have, you know, paved the way, the way, the way for the women of wrestling on today's society. |
2:03.0 | There is a couple of them that have been so controversial that they are no longer being thought as, you know, they were, they did some stuff that they were not supposed to and, you know, and a lot of people got hurt on this. |
2:19.0 | So one of them that I know a lot of people don't talk about or don't want to talk about is the famous mula like she created like her and her husband, they had their girls and then they toured with the girls, you know, there's a lot of controversy around them. |
2:34.0 | But she wasn't one of the few her and Mildred Burke or one of the few that their partners and them trained the girls, they had the girls going to places and, you know, above them held the NWA women's championship and both of them had a way to do business with these females and some of them, like I said, |
2:55.0 | they were not the things that they did were not the best per se and there's books about it. I read Mildred Burke that they were very open about her personal life and the stuff that they were doing, you know, kind of like an all access before all access all the dirt was in those books. |
3:13.0 | So yeah, I think those are the two women that everybody should know who they are because you have to know the history of this to women in order for us not to repeat it in the future, because I think is one we tried to erase history good or bad. |
3:31.7 | We have to learn from that and we have to make sure we don't repeat some of those mistakes that that were made in in the |
3:38.4 | I betrayer it is that happened to some of these women and men, right, that we're trying to make it in the business. So I think them to are like the pillars of, you know, women like how everything started here in America. |
3:51.6 | Another person that comes to my mind and she's a really good friend of mine. It's Medusa if you're talking about travel blazer. She's one of those people that |
4:01.4 | came into wrestling with with the only thing was to like |
4:07.5 | get all that anger out and do the best and be an athlete because she was not able to do that when she was younger because of all her circumstances. If you haven't read her book, make sure you read her book. |
4:20.5 | And she transcended from professional wrestling in America. She became a huge star in Japan because she was unafraid of jumping to different sports and that maybe not knowing what I wasn't in in the middle was going to take, but she still did it anyways. And then from there she jumped into, you know, the trucks, the trucking thing and it was like that is it's insane how she's been able to like jump from what she's been able to do. |
4:50.9 | From one sport to another where there was no women really being pushed. And I think like some of the things that she went through and some of the things in actions that she did really define what like real heat what we'll call real heat and nowadays to the point where it took them forever to put her in a hall of fame. |
