I agree, but in this case most are paying attention for the fact she is a girl, not because she wrestles. And, may I add, man are looking for her to fail.

Whenever women compete against men it comes down to those who wish to watch, not the participants. It has been so since Billie Jean King ripped apart the worst excuse for a male tennis player ever, Bobby Riggs. I remember that match well, I myself was a fairly good tennis player in my day.
