misconceptions and untruths that have circulated about womens wrestling and
her own career since her retirement from the ring. From her life as a promising
young athlete in St. Louis, Missouri, to her epic battles with the late, great
June Byers, Tami Jones and The Fabulous Moolah... to her dates with the one
and only King of Rock 'n Roll, Elvis Presley, Penny Banner's story will
enthrall wrestling fans and anyone else with an interest in pop culture. The ladies
of the ring were often the main event in the "golden age" of the sport, and
Penny Banner was the true "Queen of the Ring" during the height of her amazing
career."
