This week, Orchid and Colette get emotional about Sara Del Rey. The once and forever Queen of Wrestling changed the landscape for women’s professional wrestling in the United States through her work in SHIMMER, CHIKARA, Ring of Honor, and other independent wrestling promotions before signing to WWE as a trainer in 2012, a position she holds to this day. While her career as an active wrestler was brief, it was magnificent: a 10 year stretch of classics rivaling the very best of her generation, regardless of their gender. But is she the Greatest Wrestler of All Time? The answer will not surprise you!
