==================

The latest news about the G.L.O.R.Y. Girls, the site,
and women's wrestling in general...


==>
==> Legends Of The Ring Division
==>

Within in the next few days, G.L.O.R.Y. will be
brining the fans of the site something new and
exciting. A brand new division will join our site:
"Legends Of The Ring"!

We're going to be bringing you profiles and news
about the ladies who put Women's Wrestling "on the
map" and paved the way for today's female workers.

The reason for the new division? Actually, the idea
came to John The WebMaster after reading a few
messages posted between fans in the PGWA Yahoo! Group.
It seems that many of the legendary ladies of the
sport have purposely remained distant in recent years.

Why? Well, many of them feel as though women's
wrestling has deteriorated to a side show of Jello
matches, T&A displays and "puppies"...all to the
detriment of the actual athleticism and hard work that
had been put-in by the pioneers of the sport who
fought so hard for respectability from male promoters.

Feeling that this situation was unfortunate, The
WebMaster thought that there had to be a way to get
the legends of the sport the recognition they
deserved....while also showing them that many of the
current ladies are working hard and NOT falling into
the "T&A treadmill" pushed by the major promotions.

And so, the idea of the "Legends Of The Ring" Division
was born.

We hope to bring career info and pictures of as many
of the top female legends as possible to G.L.O.R.Y.
We'll also be bringing you info about the ladies
today...current photos, what they've been doing since
leaving the ring and their thoughts on the state of
the business today.

We'll also try to encourage the lady legends to
interact with fans and the current G.L.O.R.Y. Girls on
the site's message board. What a wealth of information
and advice these legends of the sport have to offer!

The hope is that the fans AND the current G.L.O.R.Y.
Girls can learn more about the legendary ladies and
the origins of the sport, interact with them and get
to appreciate what happened to "pave the way" for
today's current wrestlers.

We'd like to see the legendary ladies get to
know more about the hard workers that are a part of
the G.L.O.R.Y. family. Perhaps their perceptions of
the current state of the sport may be altered somewhat
as they learn that many of the indy girls have a lot
more to offer than the "puppies" that seem to be the
focus of the major wrestling federations.

The Legends Of The Ring Division will be debuting on
G.L.O.R.Y. within the next week to ten days. And we
think you'll enjoy learning more about our very first
lady...a TRUE LEGEND of the sport!

Who is she? I'm not tellin'...yet!

==> Pictures Of The Year Awards
==>

The G.L.O.R.Y. Pictures Of The Year Awards are winding
down. The current category that fans are voting on is
"Hottest Picture Of The Year". The results will be
announced early next week and then our final category
will be up for fans to vote on: "Best Overall
G.L.O.R.Y. Picture Of The Day".

To see the winners so far, go to:

==>
==> Who Is Eric Shaffer? Who Is John Galt?
==>

Eric Shaffer is a photographer and wrestling fan who
resides in Pennsylvania.

Eric loves going to indy shows...AND HE LOVES TO TAKE
PICTURES! Fortunately for us, he lives smack in the
middle of an area where many of the G.L.O.R.Y. Girls
ply their trade. Eric certainly knows a good thing
when he sees it, so he's been happily snapping-away as
our East Coast G.L.O.R.Y. ladies have performed.

We have entered into an agreement with Eric to bring
his ringside photography exclusively to G.L.O.R.Y.
fans! A special gallery of Eric's pictures is coming
to the site, and we're sure you are going to be
impressed...especially if you are a fan of the ladies
from the Eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York
and Maryland area.

Expect plenty of exclusive ringside shots of Allison
Danger, Candi, Miss Kara Slice, Alexis, Candie, Little
Jeanie and more!

The Eric Shaffer Gallery will be opening soon on
G.L.O.R.Y.

And who is John Galt? Well, why don't you send an
email and tell me? I'm interested in seeing how many
Ayn Rand fans we have out there. (Our resident author,
Amanda Storm, better be one of the first to respond
to The WebMaster's inbox with the answer!)



==>
==> G.L.O.R.Y. Personality Banners
==>

Due to the demand of fans who have wanted to hook-up
to G.L.O.R.Y. Wrestling using a banner link, John The
WebMaster has issued the first batch of G.L.O.R.Y.
Personality Banners for fans to use on their own
sites.

The banners, which carry the G.L.O.R.Y. logo in the
center, are flanked on each end with pictures of your
favorite G.L.O.R.Y. Girls. Among the banners available
are Sasha, Violet Flame, Tiffani Monroe, Candi, Amanda
Storm, K.C. Kelly, Brandi Alexander, the ladies of
Apocalypse Wrestling and about a dozen more.

The rest of the G.L.O.R.Y. Girls will have their own
banners available as John The WebMaster's time allows.
(Sorry about that. I'd like to have ALL the ladies
represented soon...but it will take a while.)

The banners are standard 468x60 size and can be found
on the site at:

http://www.glorywrestling.com/LinkToGlory.asp

Instructions and linking code are included!



==>
==> Princess Jade: News Anchorwoman
==>

Everyone's favorite "buried alive" wrestler and
manager, Princess Jade, has landed a new position as
the afternoon news anchorwoman on a popular
Indiana, PA radio station.

If you're in the Indiana, PA area, tune into radio
station WDAD (1450AM) and get the latest news from
future Barbara Walters replacement, Lisa Marie Hornack
(a.k.a. Princess Jade). :)

==>
==> ACW, WOW, FWA-Virginia Seek Women
==>

It looks like some indy groups are committed to going
all-out in promoting the ladies within their
organizations.

ACW, Atlas Championship Wrestling, is forming in Maine
and is planning to hold their first show before the
end of this year. The promotion is owned by former
WWF Superstar Tony Atlas, and it's promising to have
at LEAST one quality woman's match on every card. Not
catfighting, bra-and-panties matches, or spanking
exhibitions...but good, hard-fought, quality women's
wrestling.

Email for more info at: info@...

WOW, Women Of Wrestling, looks like they are coming
back for a second season of action. The group, which
is headed-up by David McLane an based in
Englewood, CA, has successfully blended the
athleticism of the ladies of the ring with the glamour
and high-profile of Hollywood.

The group sponsors the Women's Wrestling Academy,
which is a training ground for future WOW stars. Run
by Josh Milton, Selina Majors (Bambi) and Thug (Peggy
Lee), WWA says that all trainees will get a try-out
with the Women Of Wrestling organization.

For more info, email: WrestlingAcademy@...

FWA-Virgina is yet another group which is seeking to
actively promote a ladies division. The organization
is ready to host their own championship match to
determine who will hold the belt as Amber Holly will
meet Alexis Laree to see who takes home the gold.

==>
==> New G.L.O.R.Y. Girls
==>

Apologies for the lull in getting profiles up for the
newest of our G.L.O.R.Y. Girls. Lots of stuff is
happening right now at G.L.O.R.Y., and at times it can
be overwhelming for The Ol' WebMaster.

But new profiles are imminent for: Amanda Violet,
Celeste, Valentina, AWF's Tracy and La Felina,
Melicious Mel and many more. New profiles are always
announced on the G.L.O.R.Y. home page so that you can
check them out as soon as they are posted.


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

==>
==> Feuds Galore!
==>

There has been no shortage of feuds in
G.L.O.R.Y.-Land. As more ladies join the site, it
seems that the combat between fellow G.L.O.R.Y. Ladies
is becoming more and more common.

Take, for instance, the recent battle between Lady
Vendetta and Mia Martinez. The slam-bang affair was a
mix of technical, old-school and down-n-dirty
brawling. Both ladies bounced each other all over the
ring with little regard for rules...although Lady V.
seemed to have the upper hand in the rule-breaking
department. Although Mia took the loss this time, we
hear she'd like nothing more than to get her blonde
enemy into the ring again...and SOON!

Match details are at:
http://www.glorywrestling.com/Results.asp

Mercedes and Lady Victoria have not been seeing eye
to eye lately. After what was supposed to be a
"training match" in Victoria's private gym got way out
of hand, the two women are said to want nothing more
than to get each other in a ring for a real, public
battle.

We hear that Mercedes is livid that Victoria turned
their training match into a clinic on how to cheat...
with Mercedes being the target of the questionable
tactics. Lady Victoria, we're told, is fuming that
the younger wrestler out-brawled her and embarrassed
her in her own facility. We hear that Lady V. has been
on a tear lately as she's seemed more vicious than
ever in taking apart opponents that she's been booked
against.

Is there a promoter out there willing to bring these
two together so that they can settle their differences
in front of the fans?

Down in the West Virginia region, the blondes have
been going at it as Sahara, Sasha and Tiffani Monroe
continue to war. A recent tag-team match in which the
Tiffani/Sasha team decimated Sahara's partner Flayre
seems to have been a major catalyst in this feud.
Sahara, coming off of a way-too-long medical leave
from the ring, is looking for revenge.

But in the meantime, insiders and fans of Tiffani and
Sasha wonder how long these two can remain a viable
team. After all, neither woman is known for being very
loyal...except when their own interests are at stake.
Some say it's only a matter of time before Tiffani and
Sasha are at each other's throats rather than their
competition!

Meanwhile, over in the United Kingdom, little has been
heard from either Awesome Anne or her daughter
Charisma. Does that mean the rift between the pair is
healing? Or, is it an indication that the animosity is
as strong as ever? We'll look into it and see what we
can find out...

==>
==> Joe Rules/Crazy Mexican Tag-Team?
==>

Can it be true?

Joe Rules--the New Jersey wrestler who prides himself
on how he is able to "defeat any girl" so long as she
doesn't cheat--joining forces with The Crazy Mexican--
the wacky masked wrestler who has YET to defeat our cute
little Ariel in the many matches they've had?

Although not confirmed (hmmmm...guess that's why it's
called a "rumor"), we've heard that Rules and Crazy
have been in contact to discuss forming a team that
would take on any female duo in the business. They are
considering issuing an open challenge to all ladies,
so long as the following stipulations are agreed to:

1) The combined weight of the ladies must be less than
the poundage that Joe Rules himself carries to the
ring.

2) The match must be a best two out of three falls...
unless the Rules/Crazy team scores the first pinfall.

3) Either Kenny Casanova or Devin Sturgis, both of
whom they consider fair and impartial personalities
when it comes to the subject of women in wrestling(!),
must be the referee for the match.

Can it happen? Will it happen? Who knows with this
pair. We'll keep you informed if we hear anything...

Go give Joe Rules a hard time at his site:

http://www.joerules.com/

Or Kenny Casanova:

And don't forget Devin Sturgis:

==>
==> K.C. Kelly Heading To North Carolina?
==>

Fans of K.C. Kelly should be happy with this one.

We've heard that Ms. Kelly may be heading down to
North Carolina soon to be a part of an upcoming
LadySports event. The North Carolina outfit is
well-known for the high-quality action it presents
to the fans of women's wrestling. This may be the
opportunity K.C. Kelly needs to show her stuff to the
many G.L.O.R.Y. fans who have been anxiously awaiting
her ring re-debut.

http://members.tripod.com/~kc50000/index-2.html



==>
==> BLOW/BCW Split?
==>

Some people have suggested that the Belvidere Ladies
Of Wrestling (BLOW) should split from their parent
group, Belvidere Championship Wrestling (BCW), to form
their own organization. Fans of the BLOW Ladies have
been upset that the group seems to get little support
from the men running BCW. Nothing has been done with
the ladies on the BCW Web site front, and recent shows
have featured little BLOW action.

We don't know how plausible the suggestion of a BLOW
spin-off is...or even if it is workable. But we do
know that BLOW and BCW, although both are officially
"Backyard Wrestling" groups, tended to run
professional-type operations that ranked on the same
level with some indy organizations and far above the
level of the majority of backyard groups.

Seeing BLOW split-off into their own "females-only"
organization would be a dream come true for many
fans of the ladies. If not, fans can only hope that
BCW decision-makers will utilize the talents of the
BLOW women and promote them more extensively.

==> Support The G.L.O.R.Y. Girls
==>

Remember fans: Supporting the G.L.O.R.Y. Girls on the
site is great. But when it comes right down to it, we
need to get bodies in the seats at shows to show our
support of the ladies.

It's not always easy to get to shows, but when there
is a card featuring one of the ladies near you and you
can make it...go ahead and show your support in
person.

Cheer for the ladies. Scream. Let the other fans know
that the ladies have their supporters, too! And hey:
Don't be afraid to go up to the promoter after the
show and let him know (nicely!) that you bought a
ticket because you enjoy the ladies. Believe me,
they'll appreciate the feedback. And if a few people
tell them the same thing, they'll think hard about
making the ladies a bigger part of their shows.



==>
==> New Site Show-Submission Feature
==>

Just a brief word about the submission feature on the
G.L.O.R.Y. Site. It has been upgraded recently to
allow for shows that have more than one G.L.O.R.Y.
Girl participating. (Previously, it would only display
one name and picture per show.)

When you submit show info now, use the pulldown boxes
on the submission form and choose the names of all the
G.L.O.R.Y. ladies who will be appearing INCLUDING
YOURSELF (if you are a G.L.O.R.Y. Girl making her own
show submission, that is).

Note that the names and pictures will appear on the
Upcoming Appearances page in the order that you submit
them.

This new process will make getting your show info onto
the site a LOT quicker and a lot more inclusive for
cards with multiple G.L.O.R.Y. Girls appearing.

Bookmark the page and use it whenever you have show
info to get out to the fans:
