Horror Face, With New Partner, Gets Shot At Women’s Title Saturday

Bluefield Daily Telegraph – February 10, 1956

If you can’t imagine the Lady Angel, the ugliest woman wrestler in the world, pleading and actually shedding tears, you should have seen her with Matchmaker Toots Mondt yesterday.

The Lady Angel, who with Amazon Alma Mills, lost the Southeastern women’s tag team match to the Golden Venus and her partner, Betty Burke, spent more than an hour with Toots, crying and begging for a chance to win this crown with a new partner.

Angel’s New Pal

BAMBI BALL

The big-hearted Bluefield matchmaker, though he had decided firmly against it, finally gave in and agreed.  So it is that The Lady Angel and Bambi Ball, explosive California redhead, will team up against the gal from Gay Paree and Florida’s gift to feminine wrestling here this Saturday night.  And the Southeastern title will again be the prize at stake.

Order Brawling Broads To Stage Rematch Here At The Armory Monday

Charleston Gazette – February 5, 1956

For the first time in many, many months, the district officials of the National Wrestling Alliance have ordered a rematch of a Charleston wrestling brawl.  The ruling came down yesterday that the girl tag team match that ended in a disqualification of two of the principals here last Monday must be restaged.  It is the first time that any kind of a woman’s match staged in either of the Virginias has ever been officially ordered for a rematch.

Matchmaker Toots Mondt, immediately announced that the match would be put on as one of this week’s card at the Charleston Armory.  It will again send the Lady Angel and Amazon Alma Mills against the two beauties, French Star Golden Venus and Betty Burke, the Florida lovely.

The Referee last week gave the match to the two ugly ducklings of women wrestling when he disqualified the Golden Venus and her pretty Florida partner.  This disqualification came after incidents that happened so fast it was hard to keep track of them.

Gals, Gals, Gals And Also Top Notch Wrestlers At Auditorium Here Tonite

Bluefield Daily Telegraph – January 28, 1956

Amazon Alma

ALMA MILLS

Four snarling clawing blood thirsty females together in the ring at the same time, a 402 Pounder who calls himself The Blimp against a vicious and cunning Redskin, and still another match featuring two high class grapplers. That is the choice mat menu that matchmaker Toots Mondt will present area wrestling fans here at Bluefield Auditorium tonight.

The girl’s tag team match will be the first time in Bluefield wrestling history that women grapplers have ever been the principals in a team match. All girl matches heretofore have been one girl against another. But now the local matchmaker has booked what promoters throughout the nation will tell you is the most spectacular contest that it is possible to see in a wrestling ring.
