Wrestling World Reacts To Charlotte Flair’s ESPN Body Issue Shoot

The 10th-anniversary edition of ESPN The Magazine’s Body Issue dropped this week, and Charlotte Flair made history (again) by becoming the first pro wrestler to be featured in the series.

As Charlotte states in her interview with ESPN, she’s “all athlete.” Before joining WWE, she became a two-time NCHSAA 4 A-State champion in volleyball and worked as a certified personal trainer. In WWE, she’s a seven-time champion who’s main-evented pay-per-views and ended Asuka’s incredible undefeated streak.

In other words, she every bit deserves to be featured in the Body Issue – and everyone from her fellow wrestlers to Stephanie and Vince McMahon congratulated her on the achievement.

Indeed, the human body is a fantastic thing: it allows us to accomplish incredible feats and, for top-tier athletes like Charlotte, it’s their livelihood. I’m shocked that ESPN managed to go ten years without featuring a pro wrestler. But, given all the other barriers she’s broken, it only fits that Charlotte is the first.
