Well American female wrestling has always lagged behind Joshi. Japanese women's wrestling has produced some of the best matches in the history of the industry bar none, and some of the best wrestling in the history of the industry bar none (Aja Kong, Kansai, Toyota, Hokuto). But if we're talking about America, women still have a place in wrestling.

Mainstream women's wrestling in the States is pretty terrible with women like Stacy Keibler, Torrie Wilson, Kelly Kelly, and Ashley Massaro dominating TV screens. Even the ringside babes are nothing but eye candy nowadays. Women like Christy Hemme, Torrie Wilson, and Kelly Kelly are at least expected to be able to hold the audience's interest with a well executed promo but can't even manage to do that.

The last few years have seen somewhat of an improvement while the same old crap is still repeating itself. We still have the diva search, and the horror that is Kelly Kelly introduced herself to a worldwide audience. But we've had the introduction of Queen Sharmell, who is one of the best promos in the buisness ATM bar-none. And also the introduction of the TNA Women's division. Such talent hasn't been shown by women anywhere for years in the US except for in the indies. With Awesome Kong, Gail Kim, Jacqueline, ODB, The Beautiful People, Roxxi Laveaux, Daizee Haze, and Cheerleader Melissa all showing their stuff, women's wrestling is looking up in the states. Hopefully WWE will follow suite.
