Which wrestlers have really hit it off with female fans?

Growing up in Attitude Era I remember the girls all screaming whenever the Hardyz took off their shirts. I dunno if that's really a thing anymore for any male wrestlers, though. I think girls really liked Shawn in the 90s but that's about all I'm aware of.

Chigusa Nagayo & Lioness Asuka. If you've not seen 1980s All Japan Women crowds react to the Crush Gals you haven't seen female fans going nutty.

Magnum TOKYO might be the best example of being incredibly popular with women.

When he had a stripper gimmick, during his entrance he'd always be bombarded with women stuffing bills into his trunks. Pretty sure he had a whole second income from doing that night after night.


And because I randomly just happened to come across this information today:

Marty "The Moth" Martinez: Maybe semi-retired? He stepped away from wrestling for a while to deal with injuries and did just a couple of random indie shots since then. Worked some AEW Dark tapings last year but doesn't seem interested in signing.
He just wrestled on a Rocky Mountain Pro show on Friday, which is apparently on Fite.

Randy Orton is the only wrestler I have heard seemingly non-wrestling fan ladies randomly being up as being hot. But yeah the Hardyz and even Edge were always singled out as being sexy by the women I watched wrestling with in The Olden Times.

Pretty sure Scott Steiner is the antithesis of the kind of physique that attracts ladies, to preemptively address that question. He is surely right up there with Bastion Booger

I don't know about that but Naruki Doi recently said that he formed his own unit Gold Class in order to bring back DG's audience to 90% women, so it is a thing.

How hot a take is it if I say The Undertaker? Because going by Meltzer ratings, his is a name that stands out. Marty Janetty? Lex Luger? Jeff Jarrett? Ken Anderson/Kennedy? The Sandman maybe? Velveteen Dream? Danny Basham/Damaja? Natalya? Davey Boy Smith Jr? EC3? WING Kanemura? Braun Strowman? Nick Aldis? Penelope Ford? How good was early 2000s California indy guy Jardi Frantz? Because he has **** with AJ from 2001 which I haven't seen, I've only seen him 2 or 3 times when he appeared in the undercard of PWG shows & he was totally forgettable but for his name. Cagematch has over 2200 matches rated in the WON at 4 or over, those are the names that standout from the ones I've seen.

Apparently Kane has never had a ****+ singles match, so that's nice.

Oh, apparently I missed that Shane McMahon has not 1, not 2 but 3 matches at 4 or over, so maybe it's him. I still think Nick Aldis is a contender.
