Female Wrestling Updates, Lacey Von Erich, Awesome Kong, Angelina Love and Mickie James

The question " Lacey Von Erich is hot, but can she wrestle?" may be causing some trouble at TNA.

www.prowrestling.net is reporting that not only did Lacey trip and fall when she tried to do a run in at the Knockouts Elimination wrestling match on iMPACT! two weeks ago, (hey, everyone makes mistakes right?), but while training at the Impact! Zone, she injured a hamstring and proceded to act like a "Diva" as she complained loudly all night that she was in pain.
Then she told a male trainer to get her some ice, which lead to said training walking in on a half dressed Awesome Kong who wasn't happy.
Evidently she grabbed Lacey and took her to the trainer's room where she let Lacey have it, with Kurt Angle watching.
Lacey wasn't happy about this and went to TNA management to complain, and they sided with Kong.
Lacey had better watch her step or she'll be looking at Wrestlicious as the highlight of her wrestling career.
And if I were her, I wouldn't be getting on the wrong side of the Awesome one.


And former TNA Knockout Angelina Love mad a surprise appearance at Live Pro Wrestling's "Halloween Massacre" wrestling show on October 25th.
Originally it was reported that Angelina wouldnt be able to appear at the show, but she did.
You can see pictures from the event here:

By the way, TNA has some Halloween Knockouts photos posted at their site here:

As far as I can tell it's a Wizard of Oz theme.
You gotta admit, Tara looks better as the Wicked Witch of the West than she did a ....banana?


Mickie James seems to be going full steam ahead on her singing career, as she has hired Nashville-based image Image Consultant Lori Bumgarner to manage her career.

So Is ODB the New TNA Knockout Champion?

Well I guess I should calm down a little.
It appears now that ODB may actually be the new TNA Knockout Champion since Cody Deaner was on her side.
The finish of the match though with Cody rolling up Velvet Sky and getting the win, and Deaner grabbing the belt from ODB and running to the back....
That leaves ugly questions in my mind.
Either way, there is no excuse for the womens title to change hands in a side show like that.
ODB has been wrestling for over 10 years and deserves more respect than TNA showed her.
Heck, they all do.

Kurt Angle's arrest is making headlines in the main stream media, but its pretty much known now that his arrest was partly at least because of him violating a restraining order that Rhaka Khan (Trenesha Biggers) had filed against him.
WPXI.com has the officer's report on their site and here is part of the report concerning Rhaka....
" (She) stated she was at the Starbucks Store at the Robinson Towne Center outside at a table using the internet because she was scared to use the computer at her residence as she was in fear of Angle.
At this time, she saw Angle circle the parking lot three times; staring at her while she was outside.
(She) stated she then hurriedly left the area and saw Angle in the silver Cadillac.
She drove to Crucible Research by Giant Eagle and observed Angle in the Giant Eagle parking lot "circling" in his vehicle.
She stated to me that she could see Angle accessing her cell phone that she left in the car and feared he was deleting her text messages and pictures she had of past abuse against Angle.
(She) stated she then called 911 to report the incident. Angle was processed without incident and lodged into a holding cell to await arraignment."

There's an article at Dayton Daily News about Lisa Marie Varon (Victoria, Tara) and her future female MMA career.
"Following in the footsteps of Brock Lesnar and fellow heavyweight Bobby Lashley, Lisa Marie Varon — perhaps better known as “Victoria” to World Wrestling Entertainment fans — is heading to the world of mixed martial arts."
You can read the full article here

Maybe if TNA keeps acting like this, ODB can go into MMA too.

Female Wrestling: Candice Michelle, Lilian Garcia, Rena Mero and More

August 8th was Sable's (Rena Mero Lesnar) birthday.
So Happy (Late) Birthday Sable!
She turned 42 believe it or not.


The Sun UK has an article up called "Please Don't Leave Us Lilian!" complete with slideshow.



Joshi Puroresu star and now TNA Knockout Ayako Hamada will make her wrestling debut with TNA after the Hard Justice PPV.

The two men that booked the Knockout matches at TNA, Dutch Mantel and Savio Vega, were released from the company last week, and that seems to be making some of the Knockouts a little nervous.
Since the Knockouts are more technically sound than the Diva's, I'd hate to see this release mean a downhill slide for the women's wrestling division on TNA.


According to Wrestling Inc, Sharmell is really loved by the Knockouts backstage.
Jenna Morasca not so much.


Now that Candice Michelle is out of the WWE, is it possible we may see her turn up in TNA?
Of course thats the standard question everyone asked when a wrestler is released by the WWE.
Candice was working hard on her in ring skills, but she's not really up to Knockout level.
But maybe Candice as a manager or valet wouldnt be a bad idea.

TNA - Awesome Kong versus Sojo Bolt

TNA has posted their latest female wrestling match (gotta love them!) between TNA Knockouts Awesome Kong and Sojo Bolt.
You can see it here.



Of course Kong and Sojo can both really wrestle.

Awesome Kong (Kia Stevens) was trained by Jesse Hernandez and the All Japan Women's Inoki L.S. Dojo and she made her pro wrestling debut on October 22nd, 2002.
Pro Wrestling Illustrated ranked her number one in their best 50 female singles wrestlers in the PWI Female 50 in 2008.

Sojournor Bolt, Sojo Bolt (Josette Bynum) was trained by Eddie Sharkey, Eric Priest and Rip Rogers, and made her pro wrestling debut on April 3rd, 2003.

If we are lucky, Sojo and Kong might both wind up in the ring at the Victory Road PPV, since Kong is training Jenna Morasca and Sojo is helping Sharmell.

And you can keep up with Kong at her MySpace page here:

More Wrestlicious News

As was pointed out to me in a comment, the "face" of the new Wrestlicious promotion is Jimmy Hart, but the Wrestlicious promotion is being funded by 19-year-old Jonathan Vargas.
(I would have loved to just post the comment but somehow Blogger "ate"the comment when I tried to publish it. The poster was a "lost" someone, if that person would contact me I'll be more than happy to credit them for pointing this out)
As you may already know, Jonathan won the $35 Million Powerball Jackpot this past May.
So this young man is evidently really making his dreams come true.
Jonathan plans on appearing on the show as "JV Rich", the Rapper/Owner of Wrestlicious.

And the reason Wrestlicious looks so much like GLOW is that the Senior Producer of the show is GLOW alumni Johnny Cafarella.
And here is how some of the female wrestlers got around contract conflicts....
13 episodes were secretly taped last August.
That's how they got Daffney (TNA's Governor) and Madison Rayne (another TNA Knockout) on the show.
And according to sources all over the web, FOX has indeed picked up the show and will run the 13 episodes this Fall.

And since I can't resist it, here's another Wrestlicious promo.....



And there is also a Wrestlicious website up now.....
http://www.wrestlicious.com/

UPDATE: Okay, I found out now and credit for letting me know about this goes to lostangel84!
So thank you very much lostangel84 for putting me on to this!

TNA Knockout Madison Rayne News

TNA Knockout Madison Rayne (Ashley Lane, Lexi Lane) has an interview up at UGO.com.
You can read the interview here:
http://www.ugo.com/sports/madison-rayne/

As a matter of fact, UGO has a lot of interviews with female wrestlers.
They have interviewed most of the TNA Knockouts including Velvet Sky, SoCal Val, Angelina Love, Rhaka Khan and Traci Brooks.

And speaking of Madison, she will be taking on Taylor Wilde on this week's TNA Impact!.


And speaking of Madison again...she and Daffney (TNA's "The Governor") both took part in the Jimmy Hart's all-girl promotion Wrestlicious.
Evidently this was filmed before their TNA contracts, so they wont be appearing on the show.

Wrestlicious

Besides having a wrestling heritage, Lacey Von Erich ain't chopped liver......

I mentioned before that Big Vision was thinking about a new GLOW...well it seems Jimmy Hart has done more than think about it.
The promo for his new show "Wrestlicious" looks like GLOW spun through a time warp.
Campy characters, singing, dancing, wrestling.....wow.
Yes it kinda looks like WOW too.
Can Jimmy pull this off?
Well the comments on YouTube seem to show interest in this new project.
GLOW still has a cult following out there.
They may be kinda quiet, but trust me, they are watching.
And Jimmy has an advantage over GLOW.
Their wrestlers were models, some of these ladies are wrestlers that also happen to look good.
Lizzy Valentine, Daizee Haze, Portia Perez, Daffney, Becky Bayless, Roni Jonah and Lacey Von Erich are just a few of the stars I saw on the clip which you can see here:



So how is this gonna do?
Reality is pretty ugly these days.
Maybe we "need" to see a farmer's daughter take on a vampire in a squared circle.
Maybe a headhunter wrestling a lifeguard is a good counter to the constant gloom and doom of the economy.
And add to the mix the fact that these ladies have paid their dues and really can wrestle.....

Who knows, "The Mouth of the South" may be on to something here.
