On the latest episode of “Something to Wrestle”, Bruce Prichard discussed the women of the Attitude Era. He went onto say that he believes the women of that era were comfortable with doing “Bra & Panties” matches as they wanted to “show off their bodies”. Here are the highlights:

On Whether Vince Russo Was The Driving Force Behind Bra & Panties Matches:

Hmm. I don’t know, that’s a good question. He definitely liked to see them, but I’m pretty sure we had bra and panties matches before Vince Russo.

On Making Sure To Talk With The Women In Advance If They Were Booked In A Bra & Panties Match:

Well, as far as that goes, you would usually try to let them know ahead of time. Because they would like to make sure that their body was exactly as they like it. Train even a little bit more. They might have had something that covered their body more so than they wrestled or whatever they did, so make sure they were tanned, and things like that. We always let the ladies know if there was going to be a bikini shoot, or a bra and panties match coming up, just so they could be as prepared as they possibly could. But you’d always ask them.

On If Women Were Comfortable Doing That Type Of Match:

I don’t remember really — there might have been one or two down the line at some point for one reason or not that wasn’t comfortable doing it. But for the most part, they were comfortable doing it. It’s like guys that work out really hard and they want to show their body. And women who have a beautiful body, they want to show it. They want to show off their body, and show off their hard work.
