===============================================
1) G.L.O.R.Y. Shows & Appearances Page upgraded.
===============================================

A major overhaul to the G.L.O.R.Y. Shows & Appearances
Page was completed in mid-February and the result is a
resource that is MUCH more useful for the fans of
the indy ladies. We've added a searching feature to the
list of appearances which should make it A LOT easier
for fans to find and get to shows featuring the
G.L.O.R.Y. Girls.

G.L.O.R.Y. has always had what we believe is the most
comprehensive indy ladies show listing on the Web. All
in one place, fans have been able to find 40, 50, 60 or
more shows listed featuring their favorite G.L.O.R.Y.
Girls. The problem, of course, was checking that many
shows to see if there was something coming up in your
area. Or searching for a particular favorite G.L.O.R.Y.
Girl.

Well, we've now taken care of that.

When you arrive at the Shows & Appearances Page now,
you'll see four different search options at the top of
the page. Using any one of these will make your show
search a lot faster and a lot more efficient...

1) Search by G.L.O.R.Y. Girl: Simply use the drop down
box to select the name of your favorite G.L.O.R.Y. Girl
and hit the submit button. All shows that are listed in
our database where the girl you selected is on the card
will be shown to you in chronological order. Use this
search feature if you are only interested in seeing
certain girls performing.

2) Search by area: Use this drop down box to select
any state or Canadian Province. All shows we have
in our database which will be taking place in the area
you select will pop up on your screen. Now you don't
have to worry about missing a show that may be close to
your home. Just check the state(s) where you are and
see who's coming by!

3) Search by date: Have a free weekend and want to see
if any shows are running? Simply choose the date you
are interested in and you'll quickly see a list of all
the shows scheduled to run from three days BEFORE the
date you chose right through to three days AFTER.

4) Finally, the old method of seeing the show list is
still available. Simply hit the link to see ALL the
shows listed in chronological order.

We are certain that this will make G.L.O.R.Y.
Wrestling's Shows & Appearances Page a lot easier and
faster for all fans to use. Now there is no excuse to
miss a show near you! Get out there and support your
favorite G.L.O.R.Y. Girls when they hit a ring in your
area!

2) G.L.O.R.Y. Yahoo! Group: JUST STUFF IT!
==========================================

Hey...get your mind out of the gutter! It's not what
you think. :)

We're talking about the way the G.L.O.R.Y. Wrestling
Yahoo! Group is getting stuffed full with tons of
pictures from G.L.O.R.Y. Photographer Eric Shaffer.

Eric The Photographer (ETP) has been snapping and
scanning like crazy, bringing us all some great action
from the Northeast-based indy girls. Lot's of WXW
action featuring BellaDawna, Ariel, Phoenix, April
Hunter, Alere Little Feather, Luscious Lily and more.

Always something new from ETP to be found in the Photos
section of the group. Thanks Eric!

Be on the lookout also for the final 2003 Picture Of
The Day Award winners as voted by the fans just a few
weeks ago.

======================================================
3) New G.L.O.R.Y. "Link Of The Day" feature a big hit!
======================================================

Since our last newsletter, we've introduced a great new
daily feature on the site: the G.L.O.R.Y. Link Of The
Day (or LOD as it's come to be known).

Every single day, we feature a unique and interesting
link that is certain to be of interest to those of you
dropping into the site. The link may lead to a great
wrestling site that we weren't familiar with before.
Perhaps an interesting picture. We may be treated to a
new and informative news article. You never know where
the G.L.O.R.Y. LOD may lead!

G.L.O.R.Y. fan Louis Wright Jr. has been in charge of
the Link Of The Day feature since Day 1 and he's been
doing an incredible job! Not only has he been scouring
the Web to find links for the rest of us to
enjoy...he's also responsible for the often humorous
and imaginative descriptions of each new daily link.

As of this newsletter, Louis has provided us with 120+
LODs and he's still going strong!

In addition to his LOD duties, Louis has also been
added to the G.L.O.R.Y. staff as our Link Director...
and once again he's been doing a great job in handling
G.L.O.R.Y.'s massive collection of links. At the time
of our last newsletter, we had about 290 links on site.
Today, Louis has built that number to 380-plus!

Where else are you going to find nearly 400 QUALITY
women's wrestling-related links in one place?

Many thanks to G.L.O.R.Y. Link Director Louis Wright
for the fantastic job he's been doing for the site over
the past several months.

4) Joe Rules named Women's Wrestling News Editor.
=================================================

G.L.O.R.Y. Wrestling is happy to announce that
long-time G.L.O.R.Y. fan (and semi-retired wrestling
heel!) Joe Rules has been named to the position of
Women's Wrestling News Editor.

Joe's addition to the G.L.O.R.Y staff is a big shot in
the arm for the Women's Wrestling News section of the
site. As G.L.O.R.Y grew through 2003, John The
WebMaster realized that it was hard enough to keep up-
to-date with just the news of the G.L.O.R.Y. Girls,
much less everything else that was happening in the
fast-moving world of women's indy wrestling.

Enter Joe Rules!

John The WebMaster has been receiving Joe's informative
and humorous newsletters for a couple of years now.
Rules' news-intensive S.L.O.W. Yahoo! Group--which
covers much of the news on the women's scene--has also
been a favorite stop of JTW for quite a while. In
short, Joe Rules was the perfect person to step into
the role of G.L.O.R.Y.'s WWN Editor.

Joe has been handling the news duties since the final
day of 2003. As you can see by the many stories that
have been posted since then, he's been doing a great
job in keeping us fans informed of the latest
happenings with the indy girls and the ladies in the
major feds.

Joe Rules is quickly making G.L.O.R.Y.'s Women's
Wrestling News section the premier place on the Web to
find the latest breaking news about all your favorite
ladies! A great job has been done by Joe Rules in a
short amount of time...and you can expect G.L.O.R.Y.'s
WWN to just get better and better with him at the helm.

5) Valentina now calling L.A. home.
===================================

A quick chat with G.L.O.R.Y. Girl Valentina recently
revealed the fact that she has moved from her former
home base of Nashville, TN to the West Coast...Los
Angeles to be exact.

The move doesn't mean that Valentina is giving up on
her wrestling career. To the contrary, she is looking
to hook up with several major California feds to
advance her career. As we hear more from Valentina,
we'll pass the info along to you.

In the meantime, visit Valentina's site and check-out
her new merchandise section where you can order
personally autographed pictures and a video of the sexy
G.L.O.R.Y. Girl in ring action.

================================================
6) Will G.L.O.R.Y. roster reach 200 in February?
================================================

It's possible! But probably not likely.

The good news is that we still have a lot of ladies
who want to join the site. New applications come in on
an almost daily basis. But the reason we probably won't
hit the 200 mark is because we will soon be removing a
lot of the girls on the site who have not been active.

A few of the ladies will be leaving on their own
accord: injuries, retirement from the ring, pursuing
other careers.

But many others will be removed from the site simply
because we have not heard from them over a long period
of time. Perhaps they have left the business...or maybe
they have just decided to not keep in contact for other
reasons. Either way, keeping their profiles on the site
under those circumstances doesn't really serve anyone.

Our philosophy has always been that G.L.O.R.Y. should
be an active site and vibrant resource for positively
promoting the ladies of the indies. To us, having
active, passionate girls involved with G.L.O.R.Y. is
infinitely more important than having as many girls as
possible. We'd rather have 100 G.L.O.R.Y. Girls who
are committed to their wrestling careers rather than a
roster of 250 girls who are not very active.

That may be disappointing to the fans who want to see
profiles of as many pretty girls as possible...but
that's not our main purpose. We're not a modeling site.
We're not a fitness athlete site. We're not a
television celebrity or movie actress site. We are
G.L.O.R.Y. *WRESTLING*.

So in the coming weeks, don't be disappointed to see
the amount of ladies profiled on G.L.O.R.Y. decline.
Although the numbers may be down, you can be sure that
the remaining G.L.O.R.Y. Girls are actively engaged in
the wrestling business. They're *where the action is*.
They are the next generation of girls who will be
major federation stars in the coming years.

Of course, we wish all the girls who will be leaving us
the best of luck with whatever they have decided to
pursue outside the world of wrestling...and we thank
them for allowing us to share in the excitement their
careers generated for us fans.


=======================================================
7) Challenging times for Erotica D'Vine & Kiley McLean.
=======================================================

Visitors to the G.L.O.R.Y. Message Board have been
following the stories of Erotica D'Vine and Kiley
McLean over the past ten days or so. Both ladies are
facing challenges right now.

In Erotica's case, she has been in and out of doctors'
offices and the hospital for the better part of a week
suffering from intense headaches and some soreness in
her leg. Doctors were having trouble tracking down the
source of her pain. They have had a few theories that
they've been working on...and although they haven't
pin-pointed the exact problem yet, it seems as though
Erotica has been feeling much better over the last
72 hours. We're hoping to hear that Erotica is
completely back to normal very soon.

Kiley McLean's challenge involves her Dad. He was
diagnosed recently with a spot on his lung. Obviously,
Kiley and her entire family are very concerned as it
means various treatments such as chemotherapy are
possible over the coming months.

We wish the very best of luck to both Erotica and Kiley
at this time. Both ladies have given a lot of
themselves for the entertainment of the fans and many
fans are letting them know how much they are
appreciated with messages of support, encouraging
emails and thoughtful cards and letters.

If you would like to email Erotica D'Vine or Kiley
McLean and let them know you are behind them, you may
send your message to G.L.O.R.Y. Wrestling's main email
address at GloryWrestling@... and I will make
sure that your email gets to them. Be sure to put
"Attention: Erotica or Kiley" somewhere in the subject
line.


====================================================
8) Lady Amazon "Manager Of Month" at Squared Circle.
====================================================

Congratulations to Lady Amazon on being named
February's "Manager Of The Month" by the Squared
Circle News Web site!

================================================
9) Big PWI Women Of Wrestling issue due shortly.
================================================

Pro Wrestling Illustrated is ready to release the next
in their series of Women Of Wrestling issues in March.
These issues are always popular with G.L.O.R.Y. fans,
but this year's magazine should generate even greater
interest as we've heard rumors that many of your
favorite G.L.O.R.Y. Girls will be featured in this
coming month's PWI pages!

PWI's Women Of Wrestling issues are always impressive.
Full color, all glossy pages...and LOTS of them. Great
photos and thorough information. This is one that you
need to be on the lookout for at your local newsstand
or bookseller.

As we get more info and details about this great PWI
issue, we'll pass it along at the main G.L.O.R.Y.
Wrestling site.


==============================================
10) Syren prepares for Alaskan wrestling tour.
==============================================

G.L.O.R.Y. Girl Syren is making a bit of an unusual
tour this Spring when she wrestles a series of matches
across Alaska. We're not absolutely certain...but our
guess is that Alaska is not usually a hotbed for indy
girl wrestling.

You G.L.O.R.Y. fans up in AK: Don't miss this chance to
see the incredible Syren in the ring. Who knows when
you'll get another chance to see a G.L.O.R.Y. Girl up
there?!

Visit Syren's Web site...

================================
11) Best wishes for Chad Carter.
================================

We'd like to send our best wishes to super-duper
G.L.O.R.Y. Girl fan Chad Carter who has been having
some serious health challenges lately.

Chad has been living with a disease called Pulmonary
Hypertension (PH). It is a rare blood vessel disorder
of the lung in which the pressure in the pulmonary
artery (the blood vessel that leads from the heart to
the lungs) rises above normal levels and may become
life threatening.

Chad has been a big supporter of the ladies on the
site, often starting and maintaining Yahoo! Groups and
fan clubs for many of the ladies who don't have their
own personal sites. Many girls have benefitted from
Chad's efforts in promoting their careers...efforts
that Chad provides at no cost to the ladies.

All the G.L.O.R.Y. Girls, G.L.O.R.Y. Fans and John The
WebMaster are pulling hard for Chad to make it through
this difficult time for him and his family.

Remember what Coach Jimmy Valvano said Chad: "Don't
give up, don't ever give up."
