Big Bertha!

Big Bertha was somewhat controversial according to research done by CPW. Some sites have even made the claim that Big Bertha was actually a man.

Fans, please remember that Professional Wrestling was spun off from Carnivals.So freak shows and oddities were a sideshows and Professional Wrestling used many gimmicks to draw fans.

Regardless of criticism and speculation, Classic Professional Wrestling remembers Big Bertha!!

Working in the AWA Southern areas such as Memphis, and the Central States.

George Scott Passes!

George Scott, known for teaming with his brother Sandy past away today.
Scott was well known in the Mid Atlantic and South. He did make it to Chicago in 1972.

Classic Professional Wrestling Highlights The Missouri Mauler!

Johnnie Mae Young,
a Woman Professional Wrestler has past away!
She was not a Diva, or Cheerleader, nor did she wear gym shoes and cut offs into the ring.
Mae Young was a Professional and proud to be in the business.
While many of us remember her from her ring days, many others remember her from recent WWE and WWF TV work.
As a young wrestler she graced the ring with her beauty, but counted on her talent to get her a three count.
From 1940 on Johnnie Mae Young battled opponents, as well as a business that did not welcome Ladies into a mostly men's business.
Ed "Strangler" Lewis, one of the All Time Greats, trained Young, which tells you she learned how to Wrestle.
The Movie Lipstick and Dynamite gave the public a view of women's wrestling and the uphill battle to compete in a mans world, Young was one the top stars shown.
Johnnie Mae Young, thanks for the ring memories!
You will be remembered on Classic Professional Wrestling!
