Santana Garrett vs Shazza McKenzie

This picture of female pro wrestlers Santana Garrett and Shazza McKenzie in an unusual wrestling position is from Shimmer Women Athletes DVD SHIMMER 50.
It was taken by Rob Brazier Jr. and you have to admit, he caught the action at just the right time.

It's been awhile since I have mentioned SHIMMER here, even though they are pretty much the go to place for Indy women's wrestling.
I used to do all of my Indy write ups over at my Women's Pro Wrestling blog, but since Google seems to hate it now, I have decided to move all of that over here to this blog.
I did a write up on Santana Garrett there a while back, but I haven't done one on Aussie Shazza McKenzie yet.....

TNA Signs Madison Rayne and Sarah Stock

TNA has always seemed to take their women's wrestling division more seriously than the WWE.
While the WWE will sign up models and people with little or no wrestling background, TNA seems to go to the ranks of the Indy promotions to get their talent.
Their latest two sign ups to the TNA roster are no different.


Madison Rayne made her pro wrestling debut in 2006 and has worked for World Xtreme Wrestling, Ohio Championship Wrestling, Cleveland All-Pro Wrestling, SHIMMER Women Athletes, Insanity Pro Wrestling and Big Time Wrestling among others.
Shes also held the OCW Women's Championship twice and currently holds one half of the Shimmer Tag Team Championship along with her partner Nevaeh.


TNA's other recent acquisition is CMLL's Canadian Luchadora Sarah Stock or Dark Angel. I have done tons of write ups on Sarah on my Luchadora blogs so there's not a lot I can add here.
But I cannot wait until Sarah steps into the TNA octagon to see how she does there.

The Return of GLOW ?

Today we take a step away from WWE and TNA.....

Big Vision Entertainment (the creators of Wrestling Society X) look to be restarting GLOW.
They had an open casting call on Tuesday January 27th. 2009, looking for new wrestlers.
Well not just new wrestlers, as their press release said, " You do not need experience in professional wrestling to take part. We are looking for a very wide range of types and styles of people. "

So I'm guessing what they are doing is getting good looking women, testing them for camera presence and then going on to train them as wrestlers?
As you probably already know, GLOW was formed in 1985 by David B. McLane along with Jackie Stallone (yes Sylvester Stallone's mother).
It was kinda like Hee Haw with wrestling.
It had colorful characters, beautiful women, and over-the-top (read dumb) comedy sketches.

As you may also know, that's where Lisa Moretti (WWE's Ivory) got her start as Tina Ferrari, and Mando Guerrero (the son of legendary Gory Guerrero and the brother of Chavo, Hector Guerrero and Eddie Guerrero) was the original GLOW trainer.

I'm interested to see how this will pan out.
Even though I watched GLOW in it's heyday, I can't sit through an entire episode now.
Are they going to reboot the series?
Make it serious this time?
Female wrestling does fairly well in Lucha Libre and Joshi Puroresu is a constant draw in Japan.
How could GLOW expect to out do SHIMMER in the US?
