Winter vs Mickie James - TNA Knockouts Title Match

Winter vs Mickie James - TNA Knockouts Title Match
http://beautiful-wrestling.blogspot.com/



While the WWE was having their Night Of Champions PPV in Buffalo New York, TNA had their standard house show in my (adopted) home state in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.
The TNA Knockouts match was Winter taking on Mickie James for the TNA Knockouts title.
Where the WWE Divas match at the Night Of Champions had Kelly (a joke) taking on Beth Phoenix (an actual wrestler), TNA's match had two ladies that have a combined 22 years of in ring experience.
Mickie has been wrestling since 1999 and Winter since 2000.
And of course that showed as the Knockouts match was better than any Divas match in the WWE.
Of course Winter was accompanied by Angelina Love who actively interfered in the match at several points.
The end came when Angelina held Mickie so that Winter could spit (blood?) in her face, Mickie ducked and Winter hit Angelina.
The ref (Earl Hebner) focused on Angelina, so Winter spit more red stuff into Mickie's face and got the cover and the win.

Chyna Returns to... TNA

Although the TNA website is still listing the match at TNA Sacrifice this Sunday as "Kurt Angle and ??? vs. The Jarretts" we all know Kurt's partner is Joanie "Chyna" Laurer.
That is unless you have no internet connection, and if you don't, how are you reading this?
After nine years, Joanie will be returning to the (now) square ring in TNA.
A move which has left Vince McMahon livid according to reports.
Vince was considering placing Chyna in the WWE Hall of Fame, but that's pretty much gone now.
And the sad thing is, Chyna is working for TNA on a "handshake deal" with a "very, very short leash."
Of course with so much train-wreck behavior in her past, who can really blame them?

Hey, I hope Chyna keeps it together.
I would love to actually see her work matches again.
But I might not get to, because it's rumored that "The Ninth Wonder of The World" has been offered a one year contract with Japan's Inoki Genome Federation which Kurt Angle has worked for in the past.

But I can still hope for Chyna vs Tara can't I?

Bobbi Billard - Women of Wrestling

Female bikini model and former pro wrestler Barbara (Bobbi) Billard was born on December 12th, 1975 in Austin, Texas
Bobbi started professional wrestling in the old Women of Wrestling (WOW) promotion (David McLane's wrestling promotion after GLOW).
Using the ring name "Summer," Billard was given the gimmick of a Baywatch-like lifeguard along with a tag team partner named Sandy.
The duo had several tag team matches together and were unsuccessful in the WOW Tag Team Wrestling Title Tournament.
At WOW Unleashed, the team fought to a draw with Farrah and Paradise.

Billard signed with the WWE in late 2003, and entered into their developmental territory, Ohio Valley Wrestling.
She received training from Ivory and Jacqueline.
In the summer of 2004, however, herself and fellow model turned wrestler LaTasha Marzolla, were released for "not taking wrestling seriously." Billard rebutts this claiming she did nothing wrong.

Kimona Wanalaya / Kristina Laum

Manager: Kimona Wanalaya
Real Name: Kristina Laum
Born: November 23, 1976,Seoul, South Korea
Hometown: Born in Korea
Height & Weight: 5'1" - 100 lbs.
Trained by: WCW Powerplant
Pro Wrestling Debut: 1996
Previous Gimmicks: Kimona Wanalaya,Leia Meow (WCW)
Finishing Move: Hurricanrana
Favorite Moves: Suicide Dive

Kristina Laum, currently residing in Maple Shade Township, New Jersey, was a pro wrestling valet and manager in ECW and WCW. She used the names Kimona Wanalaya (sometimes spelled Kimona Wanaleia) and Leia Meow.

Kristina Laum was asked by her friend Raven to go into professional wrestling while she was working as a dancer at a club.

Kristina started in the ECW in 1996 as Kimona Wanalaya. She was Raven's valet and would occasionally get into catfights with his opponents' valets. She would often provide semi-sexual entertainment for the fans. Laum performed a striptease at one ECW event in order to appease a rowdy crowd. She also engaged in a (then shocking) lesbian kiss with Beulah McGillicutty, which shocked Tommy Dreamer, Beulah's boyfriend.

Laum later left ECW and worked for Jersey All Pro Wrestling for a while as Kimona. She was signed by WCW in 1999, but they didn't know what to do with her for several months. She eventually debuted alongside The Varsity Club (Kevin Sullivan, Mike Rotunda and Rick Steiner) as the cheerleader, Leia Meow. She was forced to do pushups and to jump on a trampoline at ringside whenever they demanded it.

This angle soon ended and she became the manager for the "Jung Dragons" (Jamie-San, Yun Yang and Kaz Hayashi). She would interfere in matches with a flying bodypress off of the top rope onto their opponents. She also had a dominatrix gimmick and carried a whip. She used it to attack Pamela Paulshock after Paulshock had won the "Miss WCW" contest that Meow participated in on September 25, 2000. She was then attacked by Midajah and had a brief rivalry with her leading to a fight on the following Thunder during Mike Awesome's Lava Lamp Lounge segment.

By the time WCW was sold to Vince McMahon, she had been fired from WCW due to roster cuts.

She went to the X Wrestling Federation where she was a member of the X-Girls, a dance team that included Gorgeous George and Chiquita Anderson of the Nitro Girls. She was known as Kris during her time in XWF. When XWF folded, Kristina retired from wrestling.

She is now working as a stripper in the United States.

Caryn Mower - WWF

Caryn Lynn Mower is a former professional wrestler and a stunt performer.
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 122lbs
Birthday: August 21, 1965
Birthplace: Eau claire, Wisconsin
Trained By: Ultimate Pro Wrestling
Professional Debut: 1999
Previous Identities: Carnidge, Muffy Mower

Prior to her stunt and wrestling career, Mower worked as an aerobics instructor. In 1992, she began her career as a stunt woman. She has an extensive resume of stunt work in television, film and stunt shows. She got her start in the wrestling world in early 1999 when she went on an audition for a part as a comic book model held at Ultimate Pro Wrestling, and was encouraged by the owner of UPW Rick Bassman to give wrestling a try. Mower accepted his offer and began training at UPW. She was considered a fast learner and soon became a regular performer at UPW shows.

In the summer of 1999, WWF talent scouts came to UPW to assess the talent there, and Mower impressed them enough to sign her to a developmental deal on August 31, 1999. She continued training with UPW and working shows with them until WWF came up with a gimmick for her. In early 2000, she was given a psycho fitness instructor "Muffy Mower" gimmick by the WWF and would come out before live WWF events for some non televised promo's where she would insult the live audience members, calling them fat and that they needed to get in shape.

In April 2000, she briefly made her television debut as Stephanie McMahon's personal trainer, but after two appearances the gimmick was shelved because of Stephanie's ego about not wanting to be seen as fat, and Mower returned to UPW. In September 2000, she was released from her WWF contract due to them not being able to come up with another gimmick for her.

She continued wrestling part time for UPW for a few years afterwards before retiring to pursue her stunt career full time.
