From the 1930’s to the 1960’s, pro wrestling was a male dominated sport both in the ring and out. There were very few women at the halls and arenas watching the action until women like Mildred Burke, the Fabulous Moolah, Mae Young and others bringing women to the forefront. More and more women started to come to the shows and who didn’t enjoy the little old ladies at ringside yelling at the bad guys and trying to hit them with their canes and umbrellas. Then in the 70’s and 80’s, women like Medusa Micelli and Wendi Richter brought women’s wrestling into the mainstream. There was even a women’s wrestling organization in the late 80’s and early 90’s called G.L.O.W., which stands for Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. Women went from being just valets to wrestling and making an indelible mark in professional wrestling.One of the most fearsome women to ever enter a wrestling ring, Rhonda Sing has lead a long and fascinating career few North American wrestling fans are aware of.
