Shirley Strimple rolls out of the way and Ramona Teselle lands on the ref instead.
The refs must have hated working the ladies matches as the poor sods were always getting battered.
If they didn't have a couple of big girls using them as a cash mat then one would just lose her rag and try to attack him.
You can see an expression of weary resignation on this ref's face.
I think this is a French match from somewhere in the 1960s and I think the woman in Leopard print is Nady Jacky.
Since my knowledge of Eeuropean women's wrestling is minimal I can't really say much more than that.
Mari Akagi tries to break her opponent's arm.
The first time I saw pictures of Japanese women wrestlers I was astonished.
Even back then they seemed a lot more athletic and ferocious than the US/UK I was used to.
The late, great mae Young is apparently after divine assistance in this match.
Not how the referee is wearing a cheap t-shirt because he knows it's getting ripped off at some point.
Holy crap. Mexican luchadoras don't fuck about do they?
Hope you liked these and I'll see you soon.
Re the "poor sods [women's wrestling referees] always getting battered" - rather than pity them, I envy them. I would have loved to have had Ramona TeSelle, back in the day, fall on me, the more times the merrier. They don't make 'em like Ramona any more.
