What Happen To The WWF Womans Wrestling In Late 80's

Moolah retired and Sherri took over and then when Rockin' Robin took the title it just died. It was rarely defended and it seemed like there wasn't enough star power. Sherri was probably the best and they decided to use her as a manager. From what I can tell it seemed like Rockin' Robin defended the title against Judy Martin pretty much until the division died around 1989/1990 when Rockin' Robin left the company. It really died around the time where Moolah screwed Wendi Richter out of the title. Moolah wouldn't really put people over so it had no other stars. You can't have a division built around 2 people and the others rarely made it on tv as it was mainly on live events. Just to prove the point they only made a handful of PPV matches after Wrestlemania 1 and 2.

Survivor Series 1987 - This was probably due to the lack of superstars and they needed a filler match.

Royal Rumble 1988 - Not a big focus event, no star power in matches. Most of the guys used in the battle royal so a tag team match made it.

Royal Rumble 1989 - Women's Title match first since Wrestlemania 2 to make a event and due to the 30 man battle royal using up the top and mid card talent.

So in conclusion they wasn't given enough time. You rarely saw them wrestle on television on a weekly basis so they were forgotten for big stretches of time. But only 3 title defenses on a PPV through Wrestlemania 1 to Wrestlemania 5 when the division was dead is just terrible. Only 5 women matches total it just doesn't put it in a good position to succeed and that's why it was phased out.
