Scottish wrestler Nikki Storm (who won the Queen of the Ring tournament at Pro Wrestling EVE's iPPV earlier this year) has just written a blog over at Ringbelles on being a female wrestler on the independent scene. I don't how relevant her experiences with regards to other promotions, but it's definitely worth a read

Don’t be afraid to punch a guy if he is bothering you, don’t trust anyone in wrestling easily and make people earn your trust. Furthermore, realise that you can’t change the way the business works overnight but you can take tiny steps in the right direction.

Trying to find this. Because I secretly hate women or something.

I feel like such an enabler saying this, but apparently she was wrestling as Micro at the time, which might help your women hating nefarious escapades

I actually read a (not very serious) article on this the other day and one of their suggestions was Lana which made some sense, especially if she takes a year or so to come up to WWE

quote:

WWE’s penchant for giving the girls one word names will continue on with Lana! We envision Lana pretty much just being The Queen of Wrestling, except her name is Lana. Why Lana? Because Lana Del Rey was popular for a few weeks and WWE writers are hacks so they’ll just throw that little Easter egg to the internet fans who know who she is.

Emi Sakura won the Pro Wrestling EVE title last night on their iPPV. On a purely personal note this means that she holds a belt that I designed which is pretty cool

Oh and apsouthern could probably say if she's good or not but Kay Lee Ray from EVE is going to be working a Gatoh Move show in Japan and also JWP's Christmas Eve show.

Kay Lee Ray has come on a lot recently. I saw her wrestle Mickie James earlier in the year up in Scotland and she didn't look out of place. And she became one of the regular girls at my local indie where she's had some really hard hitting matches. I think she'll do well in Japan, she's not afraid of going stiff or diving out of the ring, and she looks really distinctive with her red hair.

Here's a triple threat match with her against Erin Angel and Tsukasa Fujimoto from the Pro Wrestling EVE/Ice Ribbon weekend last year

Edit: and here she is double stomping a chair into her friend's face

Her match against Yoneyama(sp?) was insane. I was watching it in bed and no less than 4 times I sat right up and swore at the TV. For bloodless match it was incredibly violent.

Then Yoneyama retired and everyone cried.

If this was "twitter coconono" the idea of you watching two women fighting while in bed would be quite... unsavoury

There's images and talk about the AIW promoter being extra sleezy and groping/molesting a majority of the women that he books for his Girls Night Out shows. Heard a couple people talking about how awful he is, even though they put on decent shows. I wouldn't buy Girl's Night Out or AIW shows to support him. There was a picture a girl had posted of him grabbing girls or motorboating them, but I don't remember who posted it.
