Britt Baker To Critics Of Women Competing In Hardcore Matches: “You can’t put women in a box and not let them break out of it.”

Britt Baker discusses women competing in hardcore matches in the pro wrestling industry.

Women in hardcore matches has often been a complaint for a subsection of wrestling fans, particularly when women bleed. AEW has been a company who has not been afraid to let women wrestle in hardcore matches, including Britt Baker, who has competed in a Lights Out Match previously.

While speaking with WhatCulture, Britt Baker addressed the fans who complain about women competing in the matches, stating that “you can’t put women in a box and not let them break out of it”.

“I think, at the end of the day, people like what they like and they hate what they hate. You can’t put women in a box and not let them break out of it. If you like hardcore matches, then you should like hardcore matches. It shouldn’t matter who’s in the ring. If it’s a good match, it’s a good match. No matter who’s on either side of the ring.

They’re definitely not fun. It hurts, for a long time too. It does hurt. I wouldn’t take back anything I’ve done, I’m very proud of it. I’m happy, I’m happy for what it did for AEW, myself, and for women’s wrestling.”
