On This Date in TWISTED-HISTORY.com! in 1973 the Justice Department of the State of Pennsylvania ruled that women were to be allowed to be licensed to box or wrestle. The first unsanctioned mud-wrestling match was quickly held at Karwoski’s Bar in Pittsburgh on June 14, 1973 when Lisa Kowalski and Lisa McCowen decided to settle who was the more Lisa of the two of them in the alley behind the bar. Turns out that Office Lisa O’Shannon was the Chief Lisa as she arrested both of the women and six of the patrons who were cheering the no-holds barred contest.

    Why did we stop doing this?!! I would payu money to see women wrestle each other not just in muyd or jello even though that wouldbe AWSOME! I’m thinking something like a nice carpetted place like what about an aparmemt? A nice b ig empty apartment, with carpet? Wouldn’t that be fckuing amazing? They wear bikini and wrestle each other we could call it apartment house wrestling! it would be the best!

    I always have these great ideas and then forget about them larter. Don’t let me forget this one it’s too good!
