Midget Wrestling

Midget Wrestling. Filmed in 1956 in Paris, this was the heyday of midget professional wrestling. Please note that British Pathe have retained the original, historical subject headings found with the original reels even though today “The Little People of America (LPA) have criticized midget wrestling and also frowns on the use of the word “midget“ in the name of the sport—stating that it is as offensive as a racial slur—but the performers themselves do not always feel the same way.“ 90,000 historic films,
