1) G.L.O.R.Y. Site News
=======================

Here we go with some quick updates, news and
thoughts about the G.L.O.R.Y. site...


==>
==> Same 'Ole, Same 'Ole
==>

And the site move continues. And continues...and
continues...

Sorry for the time it's taking in getting it all
together folks. Three things have caused the delay...

First, as I've been re-working the site, I've seen
a lot of things that can be done differently and more efficiently. So
I've been making the changes
accordingly. Yes, it means a delay in getting it all
going...but it will pay off in the long run in my
being able to keep the site updated faster and better.

Second, the fact that my computer did a super
"crash 'n burn" 10 days ago didn't help. Luckily, no
info was lost. But it did take time to get back up and
running and getting everything restored.

Third, The WebMaster and Mrs. WebMaster took some time
to visit the lovely Jersey Shore. No computers, no
email, no CD disks, no Windows, no voting scandals...

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Even a webmaster needs a few days now and then to get
recharged!

But now it's back to work and, yes, G.L.O.R.Y. will be
"ready to rock" on its new server home soon.


==>
==> G.L.O.R.Y. Girl Voting: Prepare Yourself!
==>

I know everyone is waiting for the results of the
August G.L.O.R.Y. voting. And the final totals will be
posted shortly...But prepare yourself.

Upon returning from that previously mentioned
vacation, I was confronted by a 76 page voter log. You
read right: 76 PAGES!

So if you followed the standings towards the end of
the month, be ready for a final result that could be
vastly different from what you saw on the voting
totals page.

I'm still weeding out the last of the multiple votes,
so we're not final yet. But there are a lot of votes
that will have to be hacked from over a dozen girls.

I like to look at it this way: The down side of
multiple votes is that they are a pain to monitor.
In fact, I'm working on a new system to help cut down
on the excess voting. But the plus side for the
G.L.O.R.Y. ladies is that it shows how enthusiastic
their fans are! (You gotta look at the bright side of
things when you're staring at Page 67 of a voting
statistics log...)


==>
==> "Happy trails to you,
==> Until we meet again..."
- Roy Rogers

We send a "G.L.O.R.Y. Farewell" to a couple of ladies
whose profiles will not be included in the "new"
G.L.O.R.Y. when the site re-debuts.

Miss Robinson and Rio, two ladies who participated in
Georgia's UWA, are no longer involved in the
organization.

Miss Robinson in particular will be missed. One of the
first backyard ladies on the site, Miss R. is a former
G.L.O.R.Y. Girl winner whose profile and picture
page have been two of the more popular destinations
for site visitors. The attractive blonde manager and
wrestler certainly had the looks, charisma and
attitude to go on to the indy world if she had chosen
to pursue that path. But it was not to be.

Not at the present time anyway. Who knows what the
future may hold for Miss Robinson though?

G.L.O.R.Y. thanks Miss Robinson and Rio for being a
part of our site and wish them the best of luck
always!



=======================
2) G.L.O.R.Y. Girl News
=======================

==>
==> Precious Lucy Injury Update
==>

As most of you know, Precious Lucy had been unable to
wrestle for much of August due to a knee injury she
received during a mid-month match. She's been itching
to get back into the ring but has had to wait on the
results of medical tests and an "A-OK" from her
doctor.

An update just hours ago from Lucy herself informs us
that the news is not only good...it's GREAT!

It seems that Lucy has NO permanent damage to her
knee. According to the doctors, the knee has no bone
or ligament injury. Lucy did sustain an injury to the
meniscus (whatever that is) and a slight tear to a
muscle near her knee. Both of those injuries simply
need a little time and they will heal on their own.

Lucy should be back in action by mid-September. Until
then, our favorite Canadian wrestler will still stay
active as she's been booked as a guest referee for a
number of upcoming matches.

Glad to hear the good news Lucy! We can't wait to see
you getting HARDCORE again! :-)


==>
==> Princess Jade Fund Raiser Total & Future Craziness
==>

Princess Jade reports that her fund raising event in
July which found her entombed in concrete raised a
total of over $3,000 for the Children's Hospital in
Indiana, PA.

Those of you that followed the late-July "stunt" know
that it was no easy task. Jade went through a heck of
an ordeal as she was cooped up in a tiny enclosure not
much bigger than a coffin for 48 straight hours.

"It's the least I can do to help the children,"
Princess Jade told us. "They have to go through a lot
more than 48 hours with the medical problems that they
face every day. I'm just happy that I could do
something that helps them."

And Princess Jade isn't finished yet. Next year, she
says that she's considering being "frozen alive"(!) in
a block of ice during another fund raising effort for
the Children's Hospital.

I hope Princess Jade remembers to wear a sweater...


==>
==> Tiffani Monroe Steps Into The Ring!
==>

You heard right: One of G.L.O.R.Y.'s most-popular
managers is making her in-ring debut September 8th
in West Virginia.

Tiffani Monroe will "don the tights" for her
first-ever wrestling match...and what a debut it will
be! Ms. Monroe has signed-on to be involved in an
ALL-LADIES BATTLE ROYAL.

Has Tiffani made a mistake? Only time will tell.
Choosing to be in a battle royal as a first match is
definitely a gutsy move. But the Nevada Cowgirl is
confident that she'll do well in the heat of her
debut battle.

This match is certain to be a highlight of
Championship Pro Wrestling's September 8th card at
the Triple B Arena in Berkley Springs, WV. If you are
near that area, make it a point to catch Ms. Tiffani
Monroe in her debut ring match!


==>
==> Violet Flame Jumps At Chance To Battle Phoenix!
==>

The G.L.O.R.Y. Girl that everyone loves to HATE,
Phoenix, was recently booked on a tour of Canada over
a several week period under the banner of the
Apocalypse Wrestling Federation--one of the most
popular organizations in the Great White North.

At the time, a suitable opponent for the fiery Phoenix
had yet to be found...so she stepped into a managing
role and aided the tag-team of Joey Knight and Robin
Knightwing. The team had been on a fast-track to the
top. That is, until Phoenix entered the picture.

It seems that Phoenix had her own ideas about how the
team should operate, and within a short time she had
turned the former tag-team partners into mortal
enemies.

And how did Violet Flame--the G.L.O.R.Y. Girl that
everyone loves to LOVE--enter into this picture? Let's
have Violet tell you in her own words. She can explain
it a lot better than I can. Here's exactly what she
had to say in a recent conversation we had about her
Canadian experience:

#####################

"Here's the story on how I ended up on that 'last
minute' Canadian tour, John.

You see, Joey Knight and Robin Knightwing were a hot
tag-team up in Canada--until Phoenix came along. She
befriended the duo, but she really got into Joey's
head...convincing him that he was the star of the team
and that he shouldn't have to share the glory with
Robin.

So, on the very first day of the CNE Tournament, Joey
turned on Robin with Phoenix's help. Robin was
heartbroken, but he knew he had to even the score--so
he called me.

He warned me that this girl was devious, strong,
nasty and skilled. He knew I've seen that all before
and he was confident that I could help him. Since I'd
already seen Phoenix's bad-mouthing of the other
G.L.O.R.Y. wrestlers from the time she got involved
with the site, I told him that I was already familiar
with Phoenix's tactics. I GLADLY jumped at Robin's
offer and got on the next flight to Canada to join
him.

Together, we defeated Joey and Phoenix twice in mixed-
tags and once in a 6-person tag...before they were
able to pull-out a victory against us in a final
mixed-tag match where they used a liberal helping of
double-teams and other underhanded tactics.

We got the last laugh though, when I managed Robin
and his partner Sparkling James Champagne to victory
over Joey and Boris Urkoff...managed by Phoenix.

I must say that I enjoyed stepping into the ring
against Phoenix. I felt as though I had all the other
G.L.O.R.Y. wrestlers backing me up in there as I
locked-up with that blowhard. I just wish we didn't
lose that final tag match. I would have loved to
send her back home with a string of losses on her
record.

I'm sure she'll blame the losses on her tag partners.
I know that already. So Phoenix...anytime you want a
singles match: You know how to get in contact with me.
You name the place, the date, the time. I'll be there.
I'm waiting to get you one-on-one, woman-to-woman,
just YOU and ME in the ring.

But to tell you the truth, I'm not going to hold my
breath waiting for my phone to ring on that one!"

#####################

There's not much The WebMaster can add to this
commentary! Violet said it all. It's pretty obvious
that we haven't heard the last about Phoenix and
Violet Flame...



====================
3) G.L.O.R.Y. Rumors
====================

==>
==> Trouble In The UK?
==>

So much for our American perception of English ladies
being "proper". Awesome Anne and daughter Charisma may
be forcing us to change that long-standing belief!

We hear that trouble---rather than tea--is brewing
over in the UK lately between The Smiling Assassins.
Indications are that tensions between Anne and
Charisma have been rising recently. And as always,
there's two sides to the story.

Apparently, Awesome Anne has been ticked-off that her
daughter and tag partner Charisma has been costing
them victories in recent matches. Admittedly, Charisma
has been the victim of much of the pinning and
submitting action in their tag matches. But, in her
defense, the 17 year-old youngster is still new to the
wrestling business. Opponents realize this--and they
target the inexperienced girl for abuse as they keep
her in the ring while they tag out multiple times,
along with sneaking in illegal double-teams whenever
they can. They know that these tactics would be MUCH
tougher to try against the larger and more-experienced
Anne. Charisma, while being far more skilled than most
wrestlers close to her age, unfortunately finds
herself on the short end of the action against more
seasoned opponents.

Another opinion comes from a UK wrestling insider who
has a different theory...

"Anne has been at the top of the grappling game for
quite a few years now," the anonymous source told us.
"When Charisma came into the pro ranks, her mum wasn't
too thrilled with the idea--but she went along with
it. Charisma made an immediate impact with wrestling
fans who saw her in action. Not only is she energetic
and skilled in the ring, she also is 'an eyeful' as
you Americans like to say. The male fans obviously
paid attention to her right away. All that attention
focused on Charisma didn't sit too well with Anne. A
few of us saw this coming a long time ago."

Could it just be that Awesome Anne is feeling a bit
jealous of her daughter's newly found celebrity
status? Perhaps...

In Anne's defense, some say that she has in fact been
carrying much of The Smiling Assassins load on her
strong shoulders. They say that Charisma seems at
times to be somewhat "star struck" by her popularity
and spends more time worrying about her ring image
than in actual pro training.

As we said earlier: two sides to every story.

One thing for certain is that Awesomme Anne and
Charisma have been training in what looks to be like
a rougher style than usual. Past action photos of the
wrestling duo show them smiling, laughing and
generally having a good workout. But recently taken
photos paint a different picture. Anne seems to be a
little rougher in her tactics...and she certainly
doesn't seem to be holding back at all in punishing
her daughter on the mat when she has the opportunity.

You can see some of the action on the Awesome Anne and
Charisma's site at:

http://www.AwesomeAnne.com

Click to the pictures section and then on the Awesome
Anne logo. Scroll down towards the bottom of the page
and check out the action.

We'll be keeping track of this British "family affair"
as it develops.


==>
==> "Stormy Times" Ahead For Joe Rules?
==>

The usual joking banter between Amanda Storm and Joe
Rules has taken a more serious turn in recent days...
or so it seems to THIS webmaster.

The BlakWidow and Rules have met on numerous
occassions to do battle in the ring. Accounts of their
exploits have been posted to the G.L.O.R.Y. Message
Board many times. The pair obviously enjoy testing
each other's physical prowess AND mic skills when they
meet.

But lately, there seems to have been a change.

Ms. Storm's usual fun and light-hearted posts have
taken on a more serious tone. She seems to feel that
because she's seen success in the pro ring, she's not
being taken seriously as a submission wrestler. There
seems to be a growing realization on her part that the
verbal and written "jousting" that she's been doing
with Joe Rules has cast her in a less-than-serious
light.

For his part, Rules has let it be known that he
feels he's been a big reason for Amanda Storm's
popularity.

"Come on!" Rules said to The WebMaster in a recent
chat. "Storm was nowhere until I started hauling my
butt up to New England to meet her for matches.
Suddenly she's getting all kinds of attention and
publicity. Why? Because I got her noticed. Do you
think she'd be selling so many copies of her BlakWidow
book if it wasn't for me getting her noticed?"

"As easy as I made her," the rotund villain continued,
"I can BREAK her. And I don't mean just publicity and
career-wise. I can break her in the ring, on the mat,
pro-style, submission style, arm wrestling, oil
wrestling, mud wrestling, checkers, Yahtzee..."

Rules was on a roll and continued with a long-winded
list of contests which are too numerous (and boring)
to mention here. But his final comment bears
reporting:

"Whatever it is, whatever she chooses...I can beat her
at it because I'm JUST PLAIN BETTER THAN HER."

Perhaps Rules really means it. Or perhaps he's just
playing-out his character to the hilt. But the way I
see it, it doesn't matter. If he's serious, Amanda has
too much pride to let Joe Rules get away with comments
like that. If he's just playing out his gimmick, he's
STILL in hot water with Storm because she seems to
have a growing distaste for Rules' clowning.

Either way, I see a rocky road ahead in this
Storm/Rules situation.


==>
==> LAST MINUTE NEWS FLASH: A Violet/K.C. Kelly Feud?
==>

You read earlier in this issue about the recent action
Violet Flame had in her Canadian Tour against Phoenix.
Well, we've just learned that another offshoot of
Violet's trip may be an emerging feud with none other
than Buffalo's K.C. Kelly.

The way we understand it, Violet agreed to meet with
K.C. for a day-long training and practice session
at a Buffalo, NY wrestling facility during one of the
"off days" of her Canadian jaunt. Since most of
Violet's gigs were just across the border from
Buffalo, it was a perfect opportunity for the two
popular G.L.O.R.Y. Girls to meet.

Unfortunately, Ms. Flame had to cancel at the last
minute when she was asked to fill-in for another
touring wrestler who couldn't make a show. Seems like
a reasonable situation. But K.C. Kelly is not quite so
certain.

Word out of Western New York is that K.C. is livid
about Violet's last-minute cancellation. In fact, we
hear that she thinks Violet Flame's cancellation was
rooted in something much different than a fill-in for
a fellow wrestler.

"Yeah, right," Ms. Kelly was quoted as saying by
another local wrestler. "She had to pull out of our
training match for a fill-in. Okay. If that's what she
wants to tell everyone."

The source we heard from claims that K.C. Kelly REALLY
thinks the reason for Violet Flame's pull-out was a
case of nerves. Seems she's convinced that Violet
heard about K.C.'s rough, tough, old-school reputation
and just plain got scared to meet her in the ring.

The two ladies will both be on November's Wild West
Wrestling card in Denver, CO...although they aren't
scheduled to face each other. But we hear that
Ms. Kelly is looking forward to getting Violet in the
ring before or after the actual show to--as Judge
Mills Lane would say--"Get it on!".

Seems that K.C. Kelly wants a piece of Violet Flame
bad. What will happen when these two ladies meet? We
don't know...but it's certain to be an event of
interest to every G.L.O.R.Y. fan. We'll keep you
posted on this explosive situation.
