WOW – Women of Wrestling superhero Jessie Jones needs our help!
Jessie Belle Smothers, who wrestles as Jessie Jones in WOW, has been a pro wrestling staple on the Independent circuit for decades. The Southern-belle who resembled the “Wild Eyed Southern Boy” Tracy Smothers so much, “Pops” himself bestowed the Smothers name on her, is in for the most fierce opponent she’s ever faced – Brast Cancer.
Jessie revealed on Facebook earlier this month that she is battling cancer. She wrote:
Ironic ive always supported & donated to breast cancer. Turned out my family carries a gene that made me much more likely to have breast cancer. I I just had my Surgery and I ask all my friends and fans to send prayers my way. I still have a long journey ahead with Chemo and Radiation. #FuckCancer
A fundraiser has begun to help the 39-year-old ring veteran in her cancer fight. If you have the means, you can donate at the link below.
I’m sure I speak for everyone on this site and the Wrestling Epicenter when I say our thoughts, prayers, and best wishes are with Jessie Jones/Jessie Belle.
