i am not trolling. i am a genuine fan of wrestling especially when two females are involved in grappling.
but most classic movies only have scantily clad men wrestling (which is not an entirely bad sight but i prefer the ladies).
i can think of the RUSSIA WITH LOVE catfight which was quite hot.
alan bates and oliver reed strip for a pretty erotic fight in WOMEN IN LOVE i dont know if anyone has noticed, but atleast two jules dassin films feature men grappling - NIGHT AND THE CITY and THE NAKED CITY (if memory serves me right). i guess he was a pervert like me.
name others.

Dassin was at it again for Topkapi (1964) with dozens of Turkish wrestlers, and Melina Mercouri (Dassin's soon-to-be spouse) as an appreciative spectator.

...in Femme Fatale with Rebecca Romijn, there is a scene in the women's washroom that can be construed as female wrestling...not a classic film though...

Robert Aldrich's sports drama '... All The Marbles' (1981) concerns the indie wrestling circuit. The actresses who wrestle in the movie were trained by WWE Hall of Famer Mildred Burke.

There's lots of Mexican films with wrestling from the 1960s / 1970s because it's so popular in Mexico.
Perhaps the most realistic study of the independent wrestling circuit I've seen is 'American Angels : Baptism Of Blood' (1989) which is set in San Antonio, Texas and Chicago, Illinois. One of the best wrestling sequences featuring alligator wrestler Linnea Quigley is in 'Vice Academy' (1989); the whole 'Vice Academy' series is built around ferocious catfights.
Have you seen the new tv showe 'GLOW'? It's about the GLOW ('Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling') promotion which was big in the 1980s. It currently has an 8.1/10 imdb user rating suggesting it's a quality show.

I thought Rosie and Billie's cat fight was pretty good in Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1965) until I saw this clash between...
Babs and Nelly, from the infamous and riotous "so bad it's GOOD" dubbed West German film Horrors of Spider Island (1960)

The first thing I thought of was the famous male nude wrestling scene in Women in Love. Firelight, fur throws, very sensual.
