A lot of Georgia Championship Wrestling fans will remember Thanksgiving Night 1980 in Atlanta's Omni. Two women, out to prove they could hold their own against their male counterparts, had petitioned the NWA and had been granted entry in the one-night tournament for the National Tag Team championship.
 
Joyce Grable and Judy Martin were "tougher than nails" and met Steve O and Jerry Roberts (Jacques Rougeau Jr.) in the opening round of the tournament. Grable -- a veteran and already a world-travelled, three-time former NWA Women's World Tag Team champion with Vicki Williams -- and Martin, a young protege from the training camp of the legendary Fabulous Moolah. Although they didn't win, they forever cemented their place in Georgia wrestling history.
 
Both continued wrestling for many years.
 
Martin later joined with former WWF Women's World champion Leilani Kai, and the two "raised the bar" on women's wrestling, winning the WWF Women's World Tag Team championship belts on two occasions. Known as "The Glamour Girls" and managed by Jimmy Hart, Martin and Kai set out on a worldwide tour and are remembered for an incredible series of matches with Japan's Jumping Bomb Angels, Itsuki Yamazaki & Noriyo Tateno.
 
Grable, Martin and Kai are the next announced featured legends for this summer's Georgia Wrestling Legends Fanfest Weekend, joining the previously-announced Ole Anderson, The Assassin, Mr. Wrestling II, former AWA Rookie of the Year and NWA National champion Steve O, Killer Karl Kox, "Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase, "Doctor D" David Schultz,"Mr. USA" Tony Atlas, Killer Tim Brooks, The Masked Superstar, Dory Funk Jr., Terry Funk, "Continental Lover" Eddie Mansfield, "Wildfire" Tommy Rich, Nick Bockwinkel and Harley Race. Each will be signing autographs and taking photos with fans over the course of the three-day, four night event.

I'm looking forward to seeing them as well.  Be nice to have a photo op with them.

I would love to be able to go to Atlanta to meet Leilani Kai & Joyce Grable.  
 
I have been trying to get a couple WWF Cards signed by Leilani for years!!  I just might have to do mail order on this one.

Great Additions Greg! It will be a pleasure to meet all 3 of these legendary ladies.
 
When you said former WWF Tag Champs earlier in the week are the Glamour Girls (former womean tag champs) whom you were talking about or are 2 others going to be announced this week?

Yes, earlier in the week on Facebook, I hinted about two first-time guests and former WWF World Tag Team champions. Those were the three ladies.
 
Our next guest announcement comes next Monday. One of Atlanta's all-time greats!
