Something you don't see a lot these days...come to think of it ever....is barefoot female wrestlers.
Of course back in the day you had lots of them that I can remember.
Ann Casey, Vicki Williams, Judy Grable, Velvet MacIntyre, Miss Mona (Molly Holly when she was in the WCW), even Jungle Grrl from GLOW.
But these days that seems to be a thing of the past.
I guess maybe it has to do with safety concerns, but Ann and Vicki seemed to do alright for themselves.
Velvet MacIntyre
The Glamour Girls...Leilani Kai (barefoot) and Judy Martin.
Another shot of Velvet MacIntyre
Mickie James in TNA.
Good Lord child.....
Another TNA shot with Gail Kim coming in with what looks like might be a Hurricanrana or a Frankensteiner?
Kana, who is now WWE NXT Diva Asuka
Lacey Von Erich with a clawhold on Riptide (I think)
Classic female pro wrestler Judy Grable was also known as "The Barefoot Contessa" because she usually wrestled barefoot
Velvet McIntyre (again) about to lay a roundhouse kick into Sherri Martel's stomach

Love the pics. Barefoot really seems to suit some wrestlers
ReplyDeleteWhen a gal wrestled barefooted, often her opponent put a big bite on her feet just to try to slow her down. At times, the biter would spit out the dirt. At other times, she would just swallow as if nothing happened. Kinda funny when you think about it. But if UFC gals can wrestle barefooted, why don't pro wrestling gals do it like they did in the old days?
ReplyDeleteGREAT photos. Mixed martial arts practitioners always fight/wrestle barefooted. Seems to me it keeps the fighters better grounded and allows for more flexibility and strength. If anything, more lady wrestlers should be doing this today.
