Two Lady Angels Wrestling In Mississippi
Jackson, Miss. (AP) - There are at least two "Lady Angels" wrestling in Mississippi and which one is the real thing may depend on who shaved her head.
State Athlectic Commission records show the "Lady Angel" wrestled last Wednesday night in both Columbus and Natchez, at opposite borders of the state - an obvious impossibility.
A closer look at the records showed that two promoters, George Curtis of Vicksburg and Rex Mobley of Jackson, had applied for permission to present the "Lady Angel" to wrestling fans.
Mobley's angel wrestled at Columbus. Curtis' angel wrestled at Natchez. Mobley's angle is also booked for Jackson tonight, but her opposite number is working in the Carolinas now.
"Mine is the real one," Mobley said today. "She's baldheaded and from Europe. That other one, she's just a girl who shaved her head."
Curtis, asked for comment on this, replied:
"Aw, phooey, it's just the other way around."
State treasurer R. D. (Bob) Morrow, who is a member of the athletic commision, was asked if there is anything illegal about two women wrestlers representing themselves as the "Lady Angel".
"I don't think so," Morrow replied. "The only recourse one would have would be to go to court and prove a claim. We haven't heard of any protests".
