Interview an Australian professional wrestler, and it’s (rightfully) inevitable that Madison Eagles’ name pops up. That was certainly the case when we spoke to Charli Evans a few weeks ago, who spoke glowingly about the Aussie icon’s impact on professional wrestling in the country.
“She is – like, when I say the G.O.A.T, I mean, the G.O.A.T,” Evans beamed. “Without her, there would be no scene.”
“She was the first one to go and stay in America for an extended period of time, and opened the door to SHIMMER for all of us. She is the best wrestler that I’ve ever been in the ring with, and ever watched. At training, we get to learn from her, and just the way she explains things, and does things, I’m just like ‘we are so fucking lucky that she wants to be a part of [this]’.”
“She has never got the flowers that she deserved,” the Medusa Complex star stated. “If she started 5, 10 years later, she’d be main-eventing WrestleMania. She was just at this time where she had to deal with so much shit, and she pushed through all of that.”
“The culture that she’s cultivated at PWA, especially with equality and training exactly the same as everyone else, I think it’s fucking incredible. I can’t say enough good things about her.”
