      She was powerbombed through table in WWE and stuff... or you mean her in youth? Maybe not in this territory. But the more I see it seems that Moolah completely destroyed women's wrestling, and it took until like 2016 or something to make it something other than short catfights with scratching and hair pulls.

    I am full of admiration of the outstanding all-round physical fitness of both these members pf the supposedly 'gentler sex'. The cut of their swimsuits displays their superlative upper bodies. The action packed last few minutes displays their magnificent cardio-vascular conditioning.

    This looks much closer to modern pro wrestlng than in the men's matches on this channel I've seen so far. Seems like the women were the true innovators in the early days of the business.
