This is for 3 original extremely rare 8 x 10 photos of professional women wrestlers from the 1950’s. I have 5 different lots available. This lot includes Therese Theis, Eva Lee and Ada Ash. All three women paved the way for the wrestlers of today. Therese Theis’s career would span over 500 matches from 1949 through 1963. Theresa would become the wife of the Blonde Bomber, Ray “The Crippler” Stevens where Ray’s jealousy would cut the marriage short. Eva Lee wrestled mainly in 1950 and 1952 with an incredible record of 40 wins and 25 losses. An explanation of her short career could be a match in Ohio in 1951. Jeanette Wolfe was an 18 year old adopted by wrestling champion Mildred Burke and her husband Billy Wolfe to be groomed to take Burkes championship when she retired. Jeanette would wrestle two times during the show, which was not uncommon in early wrestling. In her first match she would wrestle Ella Waldek who would defeat her with a body slam to the canvas. Although complaining of headaches, she would wrestle her second match, a tag team match with Eva Lee as her partner against Mae Young and Ella Waldek. After an early unplanned tag to Eva Lee, Wolfe would hold on to the rope before collapsing on the ring apron. After being rushed to the hospital, Wolfe would die from both a blood clot in the brain and a rupture of her stomach. Ada Ash’s career would begin by lifting horses, wrestling crocodiles and even wrestling bears. Her wrestling career would span from 1948 to 1964. Ada is known as one of the all time greats even though her wrestling career would be relatively short. Three extremely rare photos in nice condition and all three for one price. The photos will be sent bagged and boarded.
