Typical AWA BS ending to the match...I knew as I was watching that this thing was going to end in a schmoz. That's the whole reason for having the two tag teams at ringside.
Madusa and Wendi actually looked like fighters. Many of today's wrestlers are these ultra thin girls with freakish implants...they don't even look like athletes let alone wrestlers/fighters.
heck, some of the glow - poww girls could hold they're own with the Divas! - I would say Dallas, Justice, Daisy, but even better, I would love to see Queen kong(in her heyday), and Awesome kong in wwe as a giant team, smear the mat with the divas- lol
You mention GLOW. I think Spanish Red was a very good wrestler, alongside being attractive.
Wendi is old school, and Deuce was the beginning of new school. I love them both and think they had great skills. AWA had a fun women's division in the late 80's, with Deuce, Wendi, Sherri, Candi, Mimi, and others.
this is when woments wrestling was actually that...wrestling!...the women of this time--Wendi Richteer, Judy Martin, Lelani Kai, Sensational Sherri, Madusa, could wrestle circles around the divas today
Absolutely correct! Wendi, Madusa, Leilani, and Judy would easily dominate them!
In fact, even the woman jobbers of the 80's such as Candace Pardue, Susan Starr, and even Angie Manelli would also out-wrestle the inferior WWE "divas" of today.
I love this old school wrestling!! These are 2 of the greats in women's wrestling along with the Fabulous Moolah, Judy Martin, Leilani Kai, Sherri Martel & Velvet McIntyre!!
The frist match they had Wendi was robbed i hope Wendi wins the title from Madusa. I have no dissrespect for Madusa Miceli she is one of my all time favorite women wrestlers. but i am all for Wendi richter here.
I don't know that I'd completely agree with you. When they start duking it out before they've even got their ring jackets off, that usually bodes for good things. Then, at 4:36 to 4:40, Madusa does her version of the "punch-drunk Ric Flair" move which was kind of funny to watch. But on the whole, yeah, I agree with you, kind of a ho-hum match with those two highpoints that didn't generate a lot of interest.
The AWA promoters should have let these two wrestle a higher caliber match than hey did overall, instead of a ho-hum match with only 2 exciting parts of the match.

Wendi was then, and is now, one of the best woman wrestlers of all time.

She was good, but Madusa was by far the best. She dominated Wendy in every facet.

Not in this match; by the way I say Wendi's manager Cyndi Lauper in person about a month ago--she looks good and is a very nice person.

Wendi's excellent application of the power bomb did Judy Martin proud.
Judy was one of the woman wrestlers who trained Wendi.

Very mediocre match from two such big names. Loads of very poorly executed and obviously faked moves and a yawnsome ending.
