<p>An interview that WWE superstar Alexa Bliss had with <a aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mG0TtCb9ryw&amp;feature=youtu.be" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Fox’s Charlotte Wilder </a>has sparked a rather interesting discussion on Twitter among several current and former WWE stars.</p>



<p>During the interview, Bliss talked about how she felt about the Bra and Panties women’s matches that used to be a staple of WWE television, stating that she could never compete in one.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>“I respect the women who had to do the bra and panties match because I could never do it,” said Bliss.</p></blockquote>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>“You’ve got to respect that because they did that, for us to do what we do now,” she added.</p></blockquote>



<p>Bliss’s comments reached one of those performers who has been vocal about being unhappy about not being allowed to have real matches during her time in the company.</p>



<p><strong>Gail Kim</strong>, who wrestled in WWE before moving to TNA, admitted that having to participate in the gimmicky matches was “traumatic”.</p>



<p>“Never looked at it that way,” said Kim who is currently a producer at Impact Wrestling.</p>



<p>Kim said that Bra and Panties matches and other similar gimmick matches are some of the most traumatic moments of her life that she has to live with. She also added that the worst part was feeling she had no choice in the matter.</p>

<p>Kim’s Tweet also spurred recently released WWE producer<strong> Lance Storm</strong> to talk about the distasteful matches he’s seen.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The worst I ever saw was the over the top rope match (I think they did it twice) where the guys fought and had a woman representative on stage and when “their” guy was thrown over the top rope they had to take off a piece of clothing.</p>&mdash; Lance Storm (@LanceStorm) <a href="https://twitter.com/LanceStorm/status/1276579924799700992?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 26, 2020</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

<p>Another interesting response to Kim’s tweet was from April Hunter who said that the change might also have been spurred by the fact that second-generation women wrestlers are now active in WWE and that their fathers now see it as distasteful for their daughters to be such gimmick matches.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">You know what NOBODY mentions? That it&#39;s taken second-gen wrestlers &#8211; females of the males who are still &quot;in&quot; with the company &#8211; in order for WWE to allow real women&#39;s wrestling to go anywhere. Because these guys don&#39;t want THEIR daughters doing T&amp;A matches. <br>Oh, hell to the no.</p>&mdash; April Hunter (@AprilHunter) <a href="https://twitter.com/AprilHunter/status/1276601843846729728?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 26, 2020</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
