Editorial Review:
What makes America the Greatest Country on Earth? Why, Wrestling Women, of course! And here's a vintage look at the Golden Age of Female Wrestling, back when the Cold War was hot, television was new, and Women's Wrestling first exploded on the national scene! See six spectacular all-star matches featuring Lily Bitter vs. June Beyers, Cora Combs vs. Laraine Johnson, Clara Mortensen vs. Rita Martinez, The Blonde Ballerina (Lynn O'Connor) vs. June Adair, Ella Waldeck vs. Jane Mull, and Ida May & Violet Vian vs. Carrie Majors & Betty Hawkins! Add in bonus shorts, stills, audio commentary and much more--plus the 1951 feature "Pin-Down Girl!"--and you'll watch brazen bombshells battle it out in over 3-1/2 rough-and-tumble hours of catfights, scissor locks, and buxom body-slamming action!
Wrestling Women USA Reviews:
Peaches Page, Baby! 
2006-04-19 - At first appearance, it looks like a mediocre collection of vintage female wrestling clips, most of which are pretty redundant. The shorts (both in and out of the ring) are interesting and somewhat humourous, but I highly recommend it solely for the inclusion of PIN DOWN GIRLS, a great exploitation fillm starring Tim Farrell and the wondrous, mysterious Peaches Page. A great find!
If You do like women's wrestling, buy this.
2005-08-09 - THis is for the women wrestling fan. This is NOT the bad, cheap, half-assed-at-best crap attempts made by W.E.W., (W.E.W. it's not extreme, it's veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery lame.) It's not the over choreographed WWE, where it's more about T and A than whatever limited wrestling skills those women have. No, this is womens wrestling at it's best. these are hard brawled matches from the pioneers of women wrestling. IF you are a die hard fan of women wrestling/females fighting, then this DVD is a fitting homage to the women who came loooong before the DWW,WWWE, W.E.W.,G.L.O.W., and the lesser feamle fight franchises that are around, good and/or bad. Yeah, the fighting isn't too great, but without productions like this, made by women who fought when it was most definately taboo. Plus, it's got over two hours of fighting, yeah, the "Pin Down Girls" movie isn't the best, but I consider it a cult classic for any true die hard female fight fan.
boring stuff 
2003-06-13 - This dvd contains a lot of old black & white wrestling stuff but it is not interesting at all. It contains a small black & white movie which is about a female wrestler and also a long boring catfight with very bad sound and picture. If you love womens wrestling and catfighting do not buy this movie.
Punishers Of The Ring 
2001-10-10 - Womens wrestling as it used to be:women who sat on your face or
squeezed your head between their thighs till you you were barely conscious, and did not feel sorry for you. This DVD is brimming with the head scissors and face sitting you loved to watch. Women,especially, will enjoy this retrospective, watching their own kind laying on their sides, crushing heads between their powerful legs, or staring down at their oppponents eyes, the only part of their faces visible, as their bottoms smother the consciousness from them.
