Ann Casey

 Lucille Ann Casey became an important and impressive figure in the world of female wrestling and though the southern states were a base for her, which stood to reason being she came from Alabama, she was seen around the world. Known for leopard-skinned tights, she was a charismatic and confident star who won fans where ever she went. Being trained by Fabulous Moolah left no doubt whatsoever that she knew her stuff in the ring.

There is a ton of material on the overall career of Ann Casey on the net, as well as her rollercoaster life (surprisingly no one ever made a movie about her). She is still in the public eye with her Face book page and via appearances at varied wrestling reunions. No point in rehashing it here.

Casey spent a little bit of time in Arizona, but was never a true mainstay. She made various appearances at the Phoenix Madison Square Garden and other venues where as usual, she was well-received.

One outstanding match was a mixed tag (uncommon in Arizona at the time) was a mixed tag team event where she teamed with Benny Mendeblis to take on Marilyn Bender and Freddie Gomez.
