  • @zagat44 It was never "fake" what you see here is hard work and true talent. Maybe the word you were looking for was "fixed" and not all of the matches that my great grandmother wrestled were "fixed". She did some real fighting in her time.

  • @anitamiland Hi Anita, It's great to hear from you. I would love to talk more and learn about your side of the family. I tried to write to your posted email address, anitamiland@yahoo.com, but it's not working. Do you have another email?

  • I saw a photograph of Mildred Burke flexing her muscles when I was thirteen. I found this photograph thrilling and threatening. As a man who admires all women who challenge stereo type I found this woman freakish, challenging and sexy. Wrestling let alone women wrestling in New Zealand is unknown. I would have liked to meet this woman.

  • @stinky411 Well she only had one child, Joe Wolfe. He is my grandfather. He knows about some of our living extended family and we are really interested in learning about more. We have family photos from way back and we might have some of your side of the family. So if you are interested in connecting with me then let me know.
