About Queen Kong:
"I've always been a "Big" girl. All throughout my young life, everyone was always making derogatory comments about my size. From the age of 13, I was 6'3", and weighed 180 lbs. I grew up on an isolated mountain, Running Springs, California. I was very awkward, large, and lonely. I was over 6' tall in the 9th grade, and gangly and uncoordinated. I never got picked for any team sports, I was a complete klutz. The boys in school were all afraid of me, always trying to get my goat. I mostly felt self conscious about my size. I didn't realize that the naughty boys were just trying to get my attention and some good old fashioned competition with a female going. "
"I finished High School without a date. I did have a passion for roller skating and spent countless hours in an outdoor rink in Running Springs. I then went on to college in Los Angeles, El Camino Jr. College. I was studying music, and art. I was employed as a telephone operator. Then, one day I went to watch the collegiate wrestling team in action. I was inspired by the skill, strength and determination that I saw these young men show, not to mention the great bods and buns. All of a sudden, I felt a passion for a sport that I had never had before. "
"The grappling grabbed my mind and body. I decided to enroll in the beginning class. At first I was laughed at and the coach told me a woman did not belong in that class. I threatened to report him to the ERA. He reluctantly let me join. After a few months I started to show great promise. I started running and lifting weights, and practiced countless drills. Then one day, I pinned the wrestling captain. Then all the boys became afraid of me. Often they would lose because my boob in their face would throw them totally off guard, or a very embarrassing bulge in their shorts would arise after an illegal crotch hold. I started winning match's by default. "
"I didn't feel there was enough competition with everyone afraid all the time. So, I put some ads in wrestling magazines for private wrestling match's. Through the responses, I discovered an entire world of private amateur wrestling clubs. Many men started writing and requesting mixed collegiate style wrestling match's. I put a mat in my house, and started teaching men that women can be very formidable. I would say that I won at least 90% of my match's. I video taped and photographed many of these match's and you can see them in my library list in the near future. I am categorizing these items now. "
"Since then, I've performed over 7,000 live shows in public arenas and more in amateur matches. My first public performance was in 1971, wrestling for El Camino College. I was the first female collegiate wrestler in America. I won 75% of my match's in the 200 lb weight class. That was the first year El Camino won the state championship. I must admit, the first time I really beat a man with my wrestling skills, I was completely addicted. The look of fear in my male opponents eyes as I went for the pin was more addicting than heroin. I felt such surging confidence and power, something I never dreamed was possible for a timid, shy and uncoordinated young girl. I felt a victory for all womankind when I saw that with my strong scissors holds, and unrelenting determination and stamina that I could conquer any man. " |
