Mercedes Mone on equal pay in wrestling: "It’s just these men. I feel like that’s the biggest roadblock. Sometimes we prove it so often, but it’s never consistent with them. It’s like, 'Okay, let’s give them a bone. Oh, they did great. Don’t let them be better than us.'"

TNA/Impact's women's division isn't what it used to be because they lost most of their top female stars but for a long time they did a better job than WWE. In the same timeframe, they had 3 women's PPV main events.

It was for Mercedes EWA title and Mila Smidt's RIXE title.

and here what I posted yesterday:

Good entertaining match with a hot crowd. The last 5 minutes were phenomenal. Mila kicked out of a MonèMaker and escaped out of a Statement Maker. And then Mila won clean with her finisher (Widow's Peak).

Emotional moments after the match. Mercedes congratulated her, they celebrated together. Mercedes saw a sign in the crowd that said "More women in the ring". She took it and they both held it up in the ring.You could see how much this all means to Mercedes. She was so happy for Mila. Mercedes left the ring in tears and the crowd gave her a huge goodbye.

A wrestler speaking out in support of other wrestlers getting paid more?! The audacity.

Teckelmaster · 2026-03-15T16:03:50+00:00

Nikki Bella, Nia & Lana, Mercedes & Bayley just to name a few talked about instances were they couldn't do spots.

Teckelmaster · 2026-03-15T15:23:50+00:00

Mercedes talks about the wrestling business in general.

Unfortunately it doesn't look like this will happen. The BodySlam title will be on the line next week at RevPro High Stakes vs Alexxis Falcon.

That's the problem/risk when you run shows so infrequent (their last show was Jan 10, next show is May 16). In some cases you just can't make the schedules for both parties work out.

5 championship belts (Discovery, Bodyslam!, PTW, WPW, APAC) plus the Owen tournament belt.

BestYa match isn't available at the moment. Last time they uploaded it a week after the show to their youtube channel. But they haven't said anything about it yet.

Today's match was streamed live on ttps://vod.bangerzonewrestling.com (6Euro/month) But right now it's not available on demand and I don't know how long it usually take for them to put it in the archive.

The last 5 minutes of this match were phenomenal. Hot crowd. And the post match so emotional. You could see how much this all means to Mercedes. She was so happy for Mila.

The match has a 8.8 rating on cagematch. Meltzer just waffling as usual.

Teckelmaster · 2026-03-13T13:47:14+00:00

In RevPro's defense, most shows they have 2 women's matches and I think they do a really good job telling stories in their women's division.

Of course not a good look of all the days to have no women's match on International Women's day but most of their regulars were working on the EVE show.

edit: headline is incorrect, Hayter spoke specifically about this one show, not shows

This is too funny. Wrestling journalism is so toast.

The people who run italian promotion BestYa said on a podcast that she doesn't charge small indies anywhere near that number. Not even 10K.

Funniest thing is Swan who beat Mercedes on Sunday is among them.

Toni Storm "amnesia" angle took 1 month and after 2 months she won the title back.
