A Nostalgic Dive into the Golden Era of Women’s Wrestling.
In a recent episode on the “Something To Wrestle With Bruce Prichard” YouTube channel, Bruce Prichard, a renowned figure in the wrestling industry, was posed with an intriguing question: Who would be on his Mount Rushmore of classic vintage women wrestlers? The catch? Modern-day talents were to be excluded from the list.
Prichard, known for his insightful takes on the wrestling world, delved deep into the annals of wrestling history. He emphasized that Mount Rushmores are generational, and the choices change as time progresses. Drawing parallels with the actual Mount Rushmore, Prichard mused that if a new Mount Rushmore of presidents were to be made today, the current faces might not even make the cut.
For his Mount Rushmore of women wrestlers, Prichard’s picks were a testament to the trailblazers of the sport. He chose Mildred Burke, the Fabulous Moolah, May Young, and was torn between Betty Nikolai and Susie Greene for the fourth spot. According to Prichard, these women were the pillars of their generation, setting the stage for future talents and breaking the mold in a male-dominated industry.
