WRESTLING
Top 25 Female Wrestlers of 2018
Another year of wrestling is in the books. Now that 2018 is coming to an end, what better way to cap off the twelve months than a “Best of” list? And now, we the writers at TSJ101Sports give you the Top 25 Female Wrestlers of 2018.
Disclaimer:
Women wrestlers from all over the world will be accounted for. Because of this, there will be a larger diversity of talent. However, some promotions will have more entrees than others. Evidently this is not intentional. That’s just how the list ended up.
