Mildred Burke - Classic Women's Pro Wrestling

Mildred Burke was probably one of the baddest women to ever set foot in a ring.
When we hear about the early days of womens wresting, we hear about Moolah.
But Mildred Bliss (her real name) started out in 1935, The Fabulous Moolah didnt start until 1949.
She was the World Women's Championship (three times), the NWA World Women's Championship (one time) and the WWWA World Heavyweight Championship (one time).
And her "Shoot" match with June Byers is legendary.

Ana Marie Martinez - British Womens Pro Wrestling

Old school British Women's Pro Wrestling star Ana-Marie Martinez.
I think Ana's real name may have been Beverley Cohen, but I'm not sure.
Ana was to say the least....curvy.
You rarely see women built like that wrestling today.

Beverley Cohen wrestling so you can compare the two yourself.

Judy Martin vs Susan Sterling - Classic Women's Pro Wrestling

Here is an old pro ladies wrestling match with Judy Martin taking on Susan Sterling.

If I am right, Susan Sterling also wrestled under the name Sabrina, and was trained by The Fabulous Moolah

Bette Boucher vs Vivian Vachon - Classic Womens Pro Wrestling

Here are a few pictures of a classic women's wrestling battle with Bette Boucher taking on Vivian Vachon.
I'm guessing this match is from the late 1960s.
Though it may be the match in 1971 when Vivian beat Bette for to win the AWA Women's title in Winnipeg, Manitoba

Brandi Alexander - Classic Womens Pro Wrestling
