She worked numerous matches with June Byers during her heyday, and when Byers no showed match in the AWA [which had just started at the time] Banner was chosen as the inaugural champion. She was a popular champion in the midwest and held the AWA women's belt for 3 years, along with regional belts from Canada and Texas before making the decision to move to North Carolina for prosperity reasons. She vacated the titles and was never defeated for any of them. In fact she spent most of her 23 year career rarely ever losing, with June Byers being the only woman of note to have continuously beat her. Even a prime Moolah could not defeat a past prime Banner without cheating...
She made further history as the first woman to wrestle tag matches in key cities in the midwest, and she was the first white woman to wrestle a black woman. She opened allot of doors for women in the US and she she did so with style, grace, and allot of sexiness.
Even if I were an expert on Sexy Star I'd have to concede to someone like Penny Banner... who should get the easy win.
