I feel like there are 4 tiers of wrestling gear, in order of how seriously people should take you

1. Real properly made gear: It has obviously made for you, or you’ve inherited it from it being custom made. It’s probably got your name on it and no one else has the same thing (unless you bought it from e-lucha)

2. Gear that looks like real gear: You found a bathing suit, leggings, costume pieces or sportswear that looks convincingly like gear. you’re the only person that knows it wasn’t made for you.

3. Jeans and a shirt. You’re probably a brawler. Any wrestler that just wears street clothes seems consistent in what they wear and its part of your character. Nothing is really wring with this, but not everyone will know that you’re in the business.

4. Yoga pants. Unless you’ve just started in the business, you owe it to yourself and whoever books you or wants to put a title on you to care more. Its so easy to buy leggings and a sports bra that look nice enough you’d never know, that its just pitiful and lazy to go wrestle in your lululemons.

Mildred Burke [1937]

When professional wrestling was budding as an industry, promoters were often looking for a new attraction to make them stand out against rival promoters in nearby territories. Luckily for promoter/trainer Billy Wolfe, such an attraction walked into training one day as the muscular and beautiful Mildred Burke stepped into the ring. Reluctant to train her, Wolfe instructed a wrestler to body slam her so that she’d see how hard the ring was, but instead, Burke body slammed the wrestler herself, changing Wolfe’s mind. The two would eventually begin dating and would later marry, with Burke defeating Clara Mortenson for the Women’s World Championship in January of 1937. 

Despite having earned a lot of money both for herself and her promoter husband, and despite defeating over 200 men in her career, Burke’s accolades in the ring were cut short for political reasons that are sickening to recall. Billy Wolfe was a womanizer, and would often go outside of their marriage with other women. This led to Burke eventually leaving Wolfe, who in turn blackballed her from professional wrestling. The spot that Burke had worked so hard to attain was then passed onto another young wrestler by the name of Lilian Ellison, better known as The Fabulous Moolah.
