Margaret has a very impressive resume – one of the finest in ladies wrestling. As she recalls, “I worked with Moolah, Rita Cortez and Tony Santos, to name a few – they all ran their own circuits.” Margaret never cared about being a leader, nor was she at all interested in the politics that took place in the dressing room – all she cared about was getting in the ring and doing her very best every time out. It was this quiet, hard-working approach that gave her a unique type of respect in wrestling.

She lists Judy Grable as her favorite partner by far (“She was so smooth in the ring,” Margaret recalls), and Moolah as her toughest opponent. “Moolah was as tough as they say she was, I can attest to that,” she says. “When I was done wrestling Moolah, I was absolutely exhausted… and I was in good shape!”

Margaret traveled mainly by Greyhound Bus, which is highly unusual for a wrestler. Margaret said, “I enjoyed being able to sleep or look out the window when I wanted to – you couldn’t do that when traveling in a packed car. This gave me a chance to unwind and meet new people. I traveled through every state but Florida, and went into Nova Scotia and Calgary. The bus didn’t run as regular in the Carolinas, so there I would catch a ride with the other wrestlers.”

Margaret wrestled in Georgia in the early 1950s and made her final wrestling appearance for LIWA in the 1990s – a span of over 40 years. Margaret said, “I see the people go goo-goo over the wrestlers like they are celebrities. I am proud to say I was there. God has been so very good to me.”

When discussing her being honored by the CAC, Margaret will immediately tell you she does not deserve it. “I’ll be the first to admit that I am modest about my accomplishments, “ she said. “For me, wrestling was just something I enjoyed working, then I was fortunate enough to work in the business. The way I see it is I enjoyed the sport, and if you enjoy it you shouldn’t be awarded – being in it is enough in itself.”
