Female Wrestling - Lita, Christy Hemme, Maria Kanellis and More

On Hermie's Hotseat, NASCAR's Hermie Sadler interviews the beautiful Velvet Sky...

PWPIX.net is reporting that Christy Hemme has signed a three-year deal with TNA worth $175,000 per year.
I wonder how the other TNA Knockouts feel about that?


And...Desmond Wolf's valet Alison Skipper has signed a long term contract with TNA.

At WWE.com, there is a videp posted of new Divas Champion Eve Torres training with Rener Gracie.
If you know anything about BJJ or MMA you know the Gracie name.
Of course the WWE is not as nice about letting people embed videos to promote the brand as TNA is, so you can see the video here at the WWE site.

And speaking of Eve, WWE Diva Melina doesn't seem too happy about Eve getting the belt if you go by her Tweets on Twitter.
Melina said among other things....
"I still stand by what I say. Back in the Trish/Lita/Jazz era, the women earned the title and fought for it. It meant so much. Women looked at them and wanted to be as great as them. It shouldn't be about taking turns on who gets to put in on this week. It should be about who earned it and who brings credibility to it. I still wish it could have been Jillian, Katie or Gail to have that opportunity. All I wanted was to start a new era. To make those women proud to see we were keeping it alive."
I pretty much have to agree with Melina on all those points.

You can get Maria Kanellis' debut album, Seven Sins at iTunes for $3.99.
The album made it up to 120, but has now fallen off the Top 200 list altogether now.
You can get the album here:

Amy "Lita" Dumas had a birthday on the 14th and I missed it, so ...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITA!
I mean AMY!
Old habit...sorry.

Night of Champions Update and Where in the World is Beth Phoenix?

Does this look ugly to you?

On WWE's Night of Champions pay-per-view this Sunday, Michelle McCool will be defending her WWE Women's Championship against Melina.
Look for a build up tonight on Smackdown!

And speaking of Smackdown!, Eve will be going up against Natalya in a women's match.

And speaking of champions...where is Beth Phoenix?
Well get ready to boil Phoenix fans.....
It seems the WWE isn't pushing her right now, favoring the more slender women on Raw.
Yep, you heard it right.
They are downplaying Beth so they can play with their Barbies.
One of the best natural wrestlers they have is being sidelined because she's too "big".
I included a pic from the recent Flex Magazine photo shoot she did to show you why Beth is considered too big.
Gosh, she looks hideous doesn't she?

Breaking News: Ayako Hamada to Wrestle for TNA

Wow...this kind of amazed me.

Female Japanese wrestling star Ayako Hamada has signed with TNA.
Her final match in Japan will be on April 19th at the Ito Dojo show.
Ayako has wrestled for All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling, Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA), HUSTLE, ARSION, GAEA Japan, Grupo Internacional Revolucion, NEO Japan, Universal Wrestling Association and the World Wrestling Association among other promotions.

She made her pro wrestling debut August 9, 1998 and since then has held several wrestling titles.
I can only imagine how much this will boost the TNA Knockout division.

TNA Wrestling, Traci Brooks and SoCal Val

On March 14th through the 25th, several celebrities from sports and entertainment will be making a trip to Iraq to support our troops there.
Among the celebrities that are going will be TNA Knockouts Traci Brooks and SoCal Val.
This is Traci's second trip to Iraq for the troops, the first was in 2006.
Traci and SoCal also have a new photo shoot up at TNAwrestling.com, that looks like they may be pushing the idea that SoCal had for the TNA Knockouts to pose for a certain well known men's magazine that the WWE supposedly isn't going to work with anymore.
Besides the new photo shoot, you can get updates on the Traci / SoCal trip to Iraq there as well.
They also have footage posted from Traci's first trip.

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?

TNA,WWE/ECW: Stephanie Finochio / Trinity

One of my all time favorite womens wrestlers, Stephanie Finochio aka Trinity.
She's wrestled for Indys, TNA, was horribly misused in the WWE/ECW.
Oh yeah, and she's also a stuntwoman.

Kristin Eubanks (born January 12, 1981 in Greensboro, North Carolina) is an American professional wrestler better known as Krissy Vaine. She is working for World Wrestling Entertainment under a developmental contract.

Kristin Eubanks started wrestling in May 2003 as Special K. She had already been appearing as a manager since 2000. She was the manager of Ric Converse, who later became AWA World Champion. Converse, Vaine, Brad Attitude, and Brad Rains combined to form "The Dynasty" that dominated the CWF Mid Atlanic indy promotion for a year as a Four Horseman like group of heels. She feuded with Jenny Taylor and Amber O'Neal in the CWF. In 2004, she changed her name to Krissy Vaine and formed "Team Blondage" with O'Neal. They had a few tryouts for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) on both SmackDown! and RAW but never got signed.

She has worked for the WWA, CWF, NWA Mid-Atlantic, CCW, PGWA, WEW, Memphis Wrestling, National Wrestling Alliance, EWA, WXW, IWA, and SHIMMER.

In January 2006, she signed a developmental contract with WWE. Krissy made her first DSW appearance at the March 9, 2006 TV Tapings where she and Kristal Marshall threw t-shirts into the crowd during intermission. Her official debut at the March 16, 2006 DSW TV Tapings was in the role of a female referee. As of June 2006 she would be managing Kevin Matthews during his matches. Krissy made her Deep South in-ring debut on the June 22, 2006 DSW TV Tapings, she defeated Tracy Taylor and Matt Striker was the referee. During the match Matt ignored pinfalls that Tracy attempted but quickly counted the falls that Krissy did, as a result Tracy lost. After the match Mike Taylor came and confronted Matt Striker. On the June 27, 2006 DSW TV Tapings, Krissy defeated the debut of Shantelle Taylor by grabbing the tights for the win. The following week Krissy lost her match against Tracy Taylor when Shantelle Taylor interfered during the match. At the August 10, 2006 DSW TV Tapings Krissy couldn't defeat Shantelle Taylor even with Angel Williams in her corner. On September 9, 2006 Krissy was defeated by Shantelle Taylor at Deep South Wrestling Grand Park Slam event in Six Flags over Georgia. At the September 14, 2006 Deep South TV Tapings Krissy participated in a Bikini Contest in which it was won by Tracy Taylor.

At the September 28, 2006 DSW TV Tapings Krissy and Angel Williams defeated Tracy Taylor and Shantelle Taylor in a tag team match.

At the October 12, 2006 Deep South TV Tapings, Krissy became the General Manager for Deep South Wrestling. In late 2006 and early 2007 Krissy then got in a feud with Angel Williams, with Angel claiming Krissy did something immoral to be appointed General Manager. Krissy was tired of Angel and made her lose her matches by distractions by other Deep South Divas. Krissy tried to order around the other divas (such as Nattie Neidhart and Shantelle Taylor) to take care of Angel for her, but after they refused, she decided to try and make up with Angel. She and Angel then became the Co-General Managers of DSW, not long after that Deep South shut down. She was then moved to WWE's newest developmental territory, Florida Championship Wrestling.

Angel debuted in wrestling in 2000 and worked for Independent promotions around Canada, she was first a valet for various wrestlers such as Chris Sabin and Eric Young and then began to train under Rob Fuego and became a wrestler as well as a valet. She was working for promotions around America when the WWE spotted her and signed her to a developmental contract.

Williams began managing Johnny Parisi in the summer of 2005. On September 8, 2005 Angel won her first match in Deep South by defeating Michelle McCool. On September 22, 2005 Angel was scheduled to wrestle against McCool but Michelle never showed up. Instead Daisy Mae came out and challenged Angel.

Williams was injured at the February 9, 2006 DSW TV Tapings, but she still managed to participated in the first ever Bikini Contest in DSW. She didn't reveal her bikini because Palmer Cannon interrupted, which led to a match that featured him and Tommy Dreamer. During the match she couldn't physically get involved, so she walked backstage. On February 28, 2006, she underwent knee surgery to repair her torn ACL. By September of 2006, Angel had recovered from her knee injury and returned to DSW that fall.

During November of 2006 Angel started managing The Gymini. This didn't lasted long due to The Gymini being released from their contracts in January of 2007. Angel then got in a feud with General Manager of DSW, Krissy Vaine. This was after Krissy made Angel lose her matches due to distractions by other Deep South Divas, at one point Angel had enough and even attacked Krissy Vaine in her office. At the March 15, 2007 Deep South TV Tapings Angel aligned herself again with Krissy Vaine and was promoted the Co-GM of Deep South Wrestling. When Deep South Wrestling shut down in April, Angel was moved to Ohio Valley Wrestling.

Williams made her Ohio Valley Wrestling debut in a dark match at the May 16, 2007 television taping in Louisville, Kentucky, defeating Serena.
And in usual WWE style ( see Christy Hemme ), the WWE released Angel Williams on May 18th.

Wait...Angel's blonde, She's built. Steph can't say she doesnt fit the " Diva Mold".....why did they let her go?
Oh yeah, Angel can actually wrestle...that must be it.

Update: Williams resurfaced in Mexico's AAA promotion under the name Canadian Angel on June 10,2007 .

Carlito's rant against Torrie Wilson

" On Raw, Carlito went on a rant against Torrie Wilson in Spanish. Here's a translation: "You're a dime–a–dozen dirty blonde. You're not worth a cent. To me, you're nothing, understand? I hate the day that we met. I don't know why I let you into me life. I want you to get out of here. I want you to go to hell, you understand? You're not worth a cent, you understand? Dumb blonde. (Torrie slaps him and leaves the ring.) Leave then. Go on. Leave. I don't need you. I don't you need you for anything. Leave. Leave running and crying, just like that. Leave. (To the fans) And you - you know full well that I'm the best in this company. Those other guys back there haven't wrestled, and you've never wrestled. The best thing to arrive ever in this company is named Carlito."

Kimberly Page - Nitro Girl Kimberly

Height: 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m)
Weight: 133 lbs.
Birthday: January 1, 1970
Hometown: Chicago, Illinois
Other Wrestling Identities: Diamond Doll, Nitro Girl Kimberly, Booty Babe, Kimberly

Kimberly Page (born Kimberly Lynn Bacon on January 1, 1970 in Chicago, Illinois) is an American actress and former valet for her husband Diamond Dallas Page,DDP.

Kimberly met DDP in 1991 at his nightclub in Florida and they started dating shortly after. DDP was a manager at the time in World Championship Wrestling (WCW). Her first appearance was as his Diamond Doll on one of WCW's TV shows. Kimberly went on to marry DDP on December 1, 1991. She did not make any more appearances on WCW TV until 1994, when she became DDP's regular valet. Before then, she worked as a Public Relations Coordinator, Account Executive, Aerobics Instructor and as a Waitress. She was not at any point, as previously & erroneously reported, Ric Flair's "maid" Fifi. (Fifi was portrayed by Wendy Barlow, or WCW front office employee Sharon Sidello, conflicting reports.)

DDP had a feud with Dave Sullivan, who objected to how DDP treated her. DDP won that feud but ended up losing Kimberly in a match to Johnny B. Badd (Marc Mero) in 1995. Johnny promptly freed her and she became his valet going by the name of Kimberly.

Mero eventually departed for the WWF and she became The Booty Babe for The Booty Man. In 1997, she rejoined DDP to help him feud with "Macho Man" Randy Savage. Soon after, she formed the dance team known as The Nitro Girls. They danced during breaks on WCW Monday Nitro to entertain the fans. They filmed a PPV that was released in 1999. She stayed with this until late 1999 when she rejoined DDP and even "wrestled" a match against David Flair at WCW Mayhem on November 21, 1999. In 2000, she turned on DDP to join Vince Russo and Eric Bischoff's New Blood stable. She decided it was "all about me" instead of DDP and it was hinted she was romantically involved with Bischoff. She had small feuds with Elizabeth and Miss Hancock. She was also briefly paired with Mike Awesome.

She left WCW for good after she had backstage problems with Scott Steiner, stemming from an incident where Kimberly claimed that drugs found in a locker room belonged to Tammy Lynn Sytch, leading to Sytch and her boyfriend, Chris Candido, being released from WCW. Steiner, known for his quick temper, began insulting Kimberly in his promos, leading to a backstage rivalry with Page and Kimberly. When it became clear that WCW management would not do much to stop the problems, Kimberly departed WCW. There were also rumors that the reason for her departure was due to her unwillingness to train to wrestle, as WCW wanted Page and Hancock to wrestle on Pay-Per-View. She was originally scheduled to be paired with Chris Kanyon in her next angle.

On July 3, 2004, Page announced that he and Kimberly had amicably separated. Kimberly and DDP officially divorced late in 2005.
