Fortunately, Kimber Lee wasn't completely alone all the time in the early days of her wrestling journey. During her time as the first female competitor to tour Europe with CZW, Hyde assigned her to room with him at the hotels they booked in each country, but she went on to appreciatively acknowledge the male wrestlers who were around.
"It was me and a bunch of dudes for two-and-a-half, three weeks in other countries," she recollected. "DJ would purposely book me in a room with him and I would never stay in that room. I would find somewhere else to go. Thankfully, different people who were on the tour that are like brothers to me, [like] Gulak ... They would come in the room and stay in there too. They would stay in the bed with DJ and ... I would be in the cot by myself. There were people there that were protecting me, but there were also people there that were trying not to. This is unfortunately a reality that a lot of females have had to go through in wrestling. It is changing, but it's still got a long way to go."
The road of "a long way to go" has gotten a little shorter as it does feel like the industry has taken positive steps and made some progress. While it may not always happen, more people are held accountable and face consequences for their actions in wrestling today.
One example is what happened to CHIKARA. After reports emerged about misconduct from Mike Quackenbush and other trainers from their wrestling school of the fan-favorite promotion where Lee held the Grand Championship, the doors were shuttered and many of those involved moved on to prominent positions in other companies.
