When I moved to Georgia as a youngster, I got turned on to wrestling and all of the characters that made up the sport. What I did not see a lot of at the time were women wrestlers. Don’t get it twisted – women have been brawling for decades. If you don’t believe me, check out all of these rad vintage photos of women wrestlers kicking ass. If you are living in the UK, there is a show up called WOMEN OF WRESTLING at the Doomed Gallery in Dalston.

Look up anecdotes about Moolah, she was a fucking atrocious human. Probably worth doing an article on. Drugged and pimped out her trainees, made people homeless, ensured no-one else succeeded, etc.

Yep, shes the reason female wrestling is seen as a piss break in America today.

She was probably just rooting out the Communist and leftist guerrilla sympathizers.

I feel like women’s wrestling was treated with more legitimacy back in the day
