Elvis Presley...Female Fighting Fan?

[polarbear]

I can't where I saw this or how I came about finding it, but I once read where Elvis was a fan of female competition.  There was a rumor that he used to have women come over to Graceland for matches.  Has anyone else ever heard of this?  Anyone think Priscilla might have been his queen/champion that always won so he fell for her?

Wasn't she into Karate?

Just in case some of theose girls could get Priscilla in a tussle infront of Elvis, she got into Karate and earned a green belt. Who knows what really made her take karate classes?

Almost everything I've heard or read about Elvis' love of girls fighting or wrestling is supposedly false.  But if it's true, I'm sure the family will never let it come to light.

Yeah I've heard the part of dating Penny Banner. All I've seen with that is that Elvis enjoyed women's pro wrestling and would watch her when she came to Memphis. Though, it would be something to see or know that she would have private matches for him while they dated.

I've read a number of books where the King's interest in girls wrestling is well documented,from girls wrestling in bikinis at Gracelands to his interest in well known pro wrestler P

I like Gotjack's take on it in some of his art, where Ann-Margaret takes on Raquel Welch with Elvis watching!

He was into it. I've spoken to a person who set up a couple girls for Elvis way back in the day.

It sounds like he was more into the playful wrestling than no hold barred catfights.

To much smoke to their to be no fire.

That's awesome grassland. Did they give you any details?

Yes I read it in Goldman's book that Elvis liked to watch girls roll around and maybe was Penny Banner that I also read that Elvis enjoyed women wrestling.
