Hi everyone,

One of the best - and sadly, little-known - US women wrestlers was the great Debbie Malenko. Debbie wrestled in Japan in the early 90s until a very serious injury forced her to retire.

Anyway ...at the age of 50, she is back! Rusty of course, but still looks great in the ring - and looks like she hasn't gained an ounce in almost 30 years. Still a hard body with an amateur wrestler vibe. Here is one of her most recent matches https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqo7nlsDqXU

She is also part of the upcoming NWA Empowrrr women's tourney.

And ... she is trying her hand at MMA!

This is good news.  Along with the match, the written comments are worth reading.  Thanks for the update and the link.

I bet Debbie would have been far more famous and well known had she wrestled in a one piece bathing suit back in the day.  Her ring attire was incredibly boring.  I'd bet big money her career would have been far more impressive with that one change.
