An extraordinary friendship forged on a flight to Las Vegas has led four grandmothers to an unexpected career in professional wrestling. Lynn Crawford, 71, Susie Matthews, 73, Rose Sulley, 74, and Christine Goodwin, 80, met wrestler DeReiss Gordon, also known as Man Like DeReiss, during their April journey.
The group was traveling to the city to scatter the ashes of Rose's late husband, Pete. A seating mix-up upon boarding the flight unexpectedly initiated their connection with Gordon.
Months later, these grandmothers have reunited with their wrestling companion. They have participated in a wrestling showcase event held in Cardiff. Their unique story has also attracted attention from the film industry, with discussions underway for a potential movie, possibly involving the producer of the 2003 film "Calendar Girls."
