Impact Wrestling star Jordynne Grace recently took to Twitter, sharing her negative experience with former ECW and WWE Superstar The Sandman. She shared how, as she and three other women were preparing for their main event matchup, Sandman came over to share his unwarranted opinion. He told them that women main eventing is “wrong” and “any male wrestler with any sort of experience would agree.”
“Hey remember that time The Sandman came up to four women about to main event to tell us that women main eventing is “wrong” and “any male wrestler with any sort of experience would agree”? Was this in 1998? No, it was tonight. December 2019.”
It didn’t take long for other wrestlers from across the industry to see Grace’s tweet and provide their take on Sandman’s thoughts.
New Japan’s Will Ospreay wrote, “Really??? Most of the women wrestlers are pulling off more innovating & exciting stuff then the ever before. Can’t tell you the amount of times I go watch a Stardom match & want to retire cos their matches are INSANE! Let’s not interfere with progress, everyone keep killing it”
Shazza McKenzie stated “I… am speechless,” while Madison Rayne commented, “Gross. I hope he stuck around to see the match and eat his words.” Even All Elite Wrestling World Champion Chris Jericho gave his two cents on the situation with a succinct response, writing “I don’t agree!”
