Enter the Ring with the New Trailer of ‘Queen of the Ring’ starring Emily Bett Rickards

A brand new trailer for Emily Bett Rickards new movie, Queen of the Ring has been released. Based on the true story of wrestler, Mildred Burke, the movie is set to be released on March 7.

“This groundbreaking film chronicles the life of Mildred Burke, a small-town single mother who defied societal norms and legal barriers in the 1930s-1950s to dominate professional wrestling. Burke became the first million-dollar female athlete in history and the first woman to headline arenas over male competitors, forever changing the face of one of America’s most masculine sports.

In a time when women’s wrestling was banned across the U.S., Burke’s rise to fame is a testament to unrelenting perseverance. The film brings her incredible journey to life with a powerful performance from Emily Bett Rickards (Arrow), making her big-screen debut in a leading role. Her portrayal of Burke has received glowing reviews, capturing both the grit and grace of a woman who broke barriers and shattered glass ceilings.”

Rickards is joined in the movie by Josh Lucas, Walton Goggins, Gavin Casalegno, Tyler Posey, Deborah Ann Woll, Cara Buono, Marie Avgeropoulos, and Kelli Berglund. The cast also includes pro wrestling stars Kamille, Toni Storm, Trinity Fatu and Jim Cornette.

I can’t wait to check this out. I would also love to see the WWE do some promotion for this movie! That way it gets out to a wider audience.
