Folks are always asking me if I know any of the names of the models that
appeared in Sports Review Wrestling magazine. I used to have a fairly comprehensive
list of names for the girls but it is trapped in some non-responsive archives.
I'll give a listing below for what I have on hand at the moment and add to it as
I'm able to recover more information. One caveat -- some of this somewhat speculative as
there is little solid evidence available from that pre-computerized era. Amateur detective
work, comparisons, and reasonable guesses have been used. And obviously, some of these
are stage names, not the model's birth names.
So, a grain of salt, if you please.
Here are two things I'd like to clear up immediately as they are two of the
most common misconceptions:
This is Candy Costello |
This is not Candy Costello! |
|
This is Kandi Barbour |
This is not Kandi Barbour! |
Got that? Good. So, on we go . . .
