wrestlingscout's video: Ladies Wrestling

Please go to goo.gl/79uMFU to vote for my next video This video is about Ladies Wrestling in the United States and Canada from the 1940s up until today. Around World War II time period promoter Billy Wolfe and his wife Mildred Burke took the pro-wrestling world by storm. She became the premier star and champion while he joined the NWA. Wolfe's association with the Alliance allowed his ladies to get steady work all over the US and Canada while preventing any competition. Their marriage fell apart and Wolfe spent another decade blocking Burke's attempts at success and promoting June Byers at the top of his troupe. After his death, the scene was destined to change. The Fabulous Moolah proved to be Billy Wolfe's successor. She and husband Buddy Lee were outlaw promoters, but they worked and established their own stable of girls. After Lee and Moolah parted ways, she went on to become the predominant trainer and booker of ladies wrestling. Just like Billy Wolfe, she made and broke careers. In the early 1980s, Vince McMahon took pro-wrestling to new heights and the Fabulous Moolah was a key player. She turned over her claims to her World Championship and put over Wendi Richter. The boom period of the 1980s caused a rippling effect, which led to several attempts to create a girls group. The WWE with their "Divas" and TNA with their "Knockouts" continue to promote women's wrestling with mixed results.
