R.I.P Princess Jasmine
Cynthia Johnson better known as Princess Jasmine passed away this morning at 7:45 am. Jasmine was a CAC member and was honored this year at the annual reunion. Jasmine had battled cancer for a good while and was unable to attend this years reunion. Her award was fed-ex over night to her following the reunion.
Jasmine was well known in the wrestling world. She had worked for the AWA,NWA,WCW,WWF and tons of Independent promoters. Had feuds in the Caribbean’s, Japan, Africa, the Philippines, Korea, Middle East, and all over the United States & Canada. Trained by Prince Pullins and Dick the Bruiser in 1968, her first match was just three months after training.
More information will be added to the cac website as soon as all arrangements are complete.
The Cauliflower Alley Club and myself offers condolences to the friends and family of Princess Jasmine. I had the honor of discussing women’s wrestling with Jasmine at CACs 2008 banquet. It was great to hear her and Beverly Shade exchange wrestling stories of their international travels together. She is a huge supporter of female wrestling and I will miss her dearly. We love you Jasmine!

I was sad to hear of the passing of Princess Jasmine. I remember seeing her on Bob Luce Wrestling, Sunday mornings in Chicago, where as an impressionable pre-teen, I was attracted to her exquisite physique. I recall fondly a match vs the 350 pound “Heather Feather”, who pounded Jasimine for almost the entire match, using her 200+lb weight advantage to crush poor Princess with body slams, big splashs, bear-hugs, etc, only to have Jasmine pin her with a great move to win.
RIP PJ.
