At the height of it's popularity DWW attracted girls from around the world.One of those who spent time enjoying the European sunshine,not to mention the wrestling was Grace from the States.
When the lady next door gets in the boxing ring in Germany it's promoted as underground as opposed to white or pink collar. From November last year at Essen's Walkabout Bar comes this rather confusing bout,where on official appears to have a problem with basic maths.
It seems almost a life time ago that I was persuaded to stage a mud wrestling show and the problem? It cost a fortune for cleaning the club and one young lady claimed in newspaper that she was coerced into removing her top. Nonsense!!!But you try getting a right to reply without the expense of going to court. I did go along with one of my partners thoughts in the end,that no publicity is bad publicity!!!
A thought for promoters,will anyone ever find the likes of the Black Sea Amazons? My understanding of their leaving the DWW set up was that it was proving too expensive to put on their fights in comparison to the fans buying the videos.
From the late fifties a classic from the days when the girls were for real and the ring announcer new his job so well he couldn't tell the blonde Miss Strimple from the other blonde Miss Johnson.
In the opposite corner Julie Praytor also known as Miss London in shows for other promoters,her tag partner was often refered to as Dangerous Donna Marie the Welsh Dragon who was to continue her career in Australia where in the year 2000 she proved what a danger she was when involved in the murder of her husband.Something which got her her a twenty year jail sentence.
If the date stamp is correct this was from New Years Day in 89,so you have to give the girls credit for a great post Xmas workout.In one corner we have Mel Barker whose brother could often be seen as the ring announcer.Her partner is Tina Martin who also had a family connection being married to Bulldog Johnstone.
