Born in California in 1938, much bigger than the average woman and even bigger than many men, Dee Booher discovered the sport of wrestling while she was a student at El Camino College and rapidly became their star. Winning 75% of her matches in the 200-pound class -- all against male wrestlers -- Booher helped to propel the team to the state championship and the school was too happy about winning to care how they did it. Turning her collegiate success into a career in professional wrestling, Booher earned great respect coast-to-coast as “Queen Kong” and “Matilda the Hun.” How in-your-face is that?!
One of the craziest nights in my life: in the 80's, I was playing in a speedmetal band. I was a fairly big dude....6'2" and about 225. Partying at closing time one night at a great bar called the RainTree....I feel myself getting picked up and next thing I know this gal (who now has me over her shoulder like a sack of potates) yells out to the other GLOW ladies at the bar, "I got what I want! You gals grab a man and let's get outta here!" She very kindly set me down after carrying me outside and we all had a good laugh. Pretty lady. Strong as an ox, no kiddin!
