Desperate for new acts, new gimmicks, promoters began to push such gaudy huskies as "Gorgeous George," a marcelled, peroxide blond who made the sham slaughter seem even more ridiculous by his coy shenanigans in the ring and out. "The queens are passe now," says Columnist Jimmy Cannon, but wrestlers are still getting away with their hammy histrionics, still faking pain, anguish and angry violence with steady success...
Flaxen maned and creamy-complexioned, 19 gorgeous girls flocked to the Crime for one hour last night. No fools they, to a one in a chorus chanted...
...story gets off to a brisk start with Cliché No. 1: an Army outpost in the Arctic, in which 104 G.I.s sit stiff with boredom.
