D ..... Associate Professor Dr. Nicole Bolter Assistant Professor AN ANALYSIS OF MEDIA PORTRAYAL OF WWE FEMALE PERFORMERS THROUGH TELEVISION AND SOCIAL MEDIA Marc Llamas Patricio San Francisco, California 2018 Although World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) has a strong tradition of women’s wrestling, it is only recently that it has been promoting their matches/wrestlers to the same extent it promotes men’s wrestling.
