@TonyKhan congratulations on another great show in Portland. I've attended every AEW show in Portland besides the first do to prior commitments. Today's show was the best. Ciampa vs Darby Allin gets my vote for MOTY. My question why is John Moxley never in action in Portland?

One of my first heel tag teams I ever saw on television and at the local arena, Mae Weston as Maw Bass along with her "sons" Bobby and Donnie Bass in Paducah, Kentucky in 1973

@GaySonjaTMorgan Majority were the girlfriends of wrestlers or sisters whoever they could wrap into appearing, majority of the girls had very little training so wrestling pros like Jackie and Debbie Combs they were not ready for.

@ChrisBergstro14 Aw amazing! I’m fascinated about that time in Memphis Wrestling! Where did they find all these women? I heard Lauren Davenport was a friend of Lawlers. Love the channel!

Anyone recognize this lady wrestler? I believe she worked for the Memphis Territory, USWA....

@NylaRoseBeast @BrokenOptics Looks amazing 😍

Sometimes you gotta freshen up a bit! Thanks @BrokenOptics for the new logo! ❤️‍🔥🤘🏽

@tonyrichards4 Great group!

I am so honored and grateful to be included in this group of individuals being indicted in this year's 2026 Tragos-Thesz Hall of Fame Class! I hope you can make plans to join us in Waterloo in June to help celebrate with me! I'd absolutely love to see you there.

@tonyrichards4 We can never get it right 100% of the time it's so difficult sometimes to fact check, as once a date is put on the web it's used everywhere without finding where it came from originally. You do an amazing job! I enjoy the posts.

According Chris, who is the world foremost expert on Women in the Wrestling biz, Vicki Williams birthday is actually in May on the 18th and she will be 76 rather than the 70 I posted today for her birthday. This birthday and RIP stuff is honestly the most hassle thing i do, due to at least one or two corrections a week, but i still feel like its worth it. So, happy birthday early, Vicki.

@MickieJames @Phenom_Jazz @REALLiSAMARiE @trishstratuscom Jazz is saying not who WWE would book to win, WHO WOULD actually win! lol

I’m crying!!! Cc: @Phenom_Jazz @REALLiSAMARiE @trishstratuscom

@wcwcrowbar @WWE @screamqueendaff It's a crime WWE did not have you and Daffney on TV man, you guys we're two of the most entertaining and talented people during the dying days of WCW.

Found these photos I thought were long lost- the night before My @wwe dark match with Daffney @screamqueendaff at my nieces birthday party. I showed my GI⭐️JOE🇺🇸 collection to the the guy in the pic I’m not certain but I think he went on to do some cool stuff in wrestling

@lucha_femeniles Not unidentified, it's Jill Fontaine.

LUCHADORA AMERICANA DE LOS AÑOS 80S SIN IDENTIFICAR

@tonyrichards4 Hey Tony, Vicki was born May 18, 1950. The birthdate floating around online is incorrect. She is still living in Savannah, Georgia. I was able to speak to her albeit briefly, she was not interested in talking about her wrestling days and asked not to be contacted again.

Happy Birthday to Vicki Williams, female wrestler from the territory era, who turns 70 today! Williams entered the business at a remarkably young age. At just 14, she began training under Moolah and made her in-ring debut that same year. Her early matches in the WWWF showcased a flashy, athletic style that stood out in an era when many female wrestlers relied more on brawling or basic holds. Known for her signature Flying Headscissors and often competing barefoot, Williams brought speed, agility, and charisma to the ring. Fans and promoters alike took notice: by 1972, she was already challenging Moolah for the singles title in high-profile bouts, including a match at the inaugural Superbowl of Wrestling in Cleveland and the first women’s match ever held at Madison Square Garden on July 1, 1972. Her Flying Headscissors and barefoot, high-flying approach influenced a generation of female wrestlers who would later benefit from the more structured opportunities of the 1980s and beyond.

Women’s Wrestling Directory No. 40 Aglae De Simpson, Aglae meaning “beauty” in French, was a circus-based wrestler who toured Europe. She performed alongside Lina De Barbara, Dominique Esterman, Brigitte Borne, Blanche Brown, Lily Camps, Lily Marlene & Belle Bordeaux.

Women’s Wrestling Directory No. 39 Aglae Moreno, also known as La Black, was a wrestler from Martinique (France). Little is known about her career, but she was among the few Black women to wrestle in France, appearing alongside Olivia Mongho and Joyce Black.

Women’s Wrestling Directory No. 38 Agi Tillman was part of a 15-woman group touring Germany in the 1950s. Promoted by Fritz Koenigsfelt as “the strongest of the German girls,” her matches often drew police raids, as women’s wrestling was considered obscene.
