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


==>
==> Holiday Present From John The WebMaster
==>

Who says I'm a GRINCH?!

Well, just my wife, family, friends, acquaintances...

But I'm going to prove them wrong! How? By giving all
G.L.O.R.Y. fans a little holiday present.

You know, the G.L.O.R.Y. Message Board is pretty
unique as far as wrestling sites go. Most everyone is
friendly. There's little, if any, name calling. Posts
are respectful of the wrestlers and other fans. We
have fans who post funny messages...thoughtful
messages...encouraging messages. The ladies get
involved in the discussions.

It's turned into quite a unique place...with unique
fans. The G.L.O.R.Y. Message Board has actually
become an integral part of the site.

That's why it deserves to be free of those annoying
pop-up and pop-under advertising windows. And so...
The WebMaster has made it that way.

The advertising messages run by the hosting company
are a nuisance that G.L.O.R.Y. visitors won't have to
deal with any longer. Think of it as a holiday gift
from me to you--for all the support you've shown in
keeping the board active, interesting, funny and most
of all...polite.

Happy Holidays!

==> Legends Of The Ring Division: Smashing Success!
==>

The new Legends Of The Ring Division was introduced in
November with the very first lady being the incredible
Penny Banner. Fan response was overwhelming as
Ms. Banner's Profile Page and the Legends Page were
hit over 3,700 times by visitors.

A few days ago, we added our second ring legend,
Natasha The Hatchet Lady. Natasha's Profile and
Picture Page have already been visited well over
1,000 times.

And we have some more legends who are going to be
joining us in the near future! As the classic ladies
of the ring realize that there are G.L.O.R.Y. fans who
admire and respect what they've accomplished, they
seem to be more than happy to be associated with the
site.

The email I've received from the current ladies, the
legends and the fans has been 100% positive. It's
great to see the current fans rediscovering the stars
of past years who have helped to pave the way for
today's ladies. By the same token, fans of the legends
have come to G.L.O.R.Y. and discovered what the
current ladies of the ring have to offer. Some are
surprised to see that the indy girls *do* wrestle.
(What?) They *do* wrestle. They are athletes who do
more than the gravy, spanking and bra and panty
matches which dominate the WWF.

I've also heard that some of the current G.L.O.R.Y.
Girls have contacted our legends to thank them for
what they've done for women in the sport, ask them
questions, or to just introduce themselves and
say "Hello". Wonderful!

As more ladies join the Legends Of The Ring Division
and the current G.L.O.R.Y. Pro Division, only good
things seem to be on the horizon for getting the
ladies of the sport the recognition and respect they
deserve.

been there yet. The page is located at:

==>
==> Photographers Gallery Debuts
==>

G.L.O.R.Y.'s Photographers Gallery debuted a couple of
weeks ago to positive reviews as Eric Shaffer's work
was highlighted. Since then, we've added the
photography of Danielle D'Adamo.

Both Eric and Danielle are fans of indy wrestling, and
their pictures reflect that fact. Both get down at
ringside and capture the action as it happens. They
shoot right through the ropes...up close and personal
with the action that's taking place on the mat.

Both photographers will be updating their pages on a
regular basis. And we've gotten inquiries from other
wrestling photographers who have asked to display
their work in G.L.O.R.Y.'s Photographers Gallery. It
looks like another new site feature that is ready to
takeoff!

If any other photographers are out there and you want
a forum for your wrestling-related work, contact
G.L.O.R.Y. to see if we can work something out with
you. Your pictures must be of G.L.O.R.Y. Girls or
perhaps girls that are not yet on the site, but soon
might be. In other words, WWF Diva pictures or photos
of male wrestling stars won't really work for us. You
must also be willing to update us with new pictures
for your page every couple of weeks or so. It's not
easy...there's work to be done on your part. But it
should be worth it for the extra exposure your
pictures will get from being on G.L.O.R.Y.

==>
==> New Front Page Format Delivers More News
==>

Since our early-November newsletter, we've made a
change to the G.L.O.R.Y. Home Page. Gone is the
explanation of what G.L.O.R.Y. is with just a few
news headlines at the top.

Instead, the front page has become a news-rich
entrance to the site. All news items on G.L.O.R.Y. are
now listed on the front page. A short explanation
includes a link to the related section inside the
site, as well as an appropriate picture or other
graphic. The news items are dated and stacked on top
of each other...older stuff near the bottom, newest
stuff at the top.

This really is the only entrance you should use to
make sure you keep on top of everything at the site.
Glance at this page on each visit and you'll be sure
to stay current on all things G.L.O.R.Y.-related.

==> Ariel To Battle Crazy Mexican For Women's Title?
==>

Yes, it's true. December 29th, Ariel will be taking
on The Crazy Mexican for the SCCW Women's Title. How
did this all come about?

Well, everyone knows that Ariel and El Loco Mexicano
have been feuding for much of 2001. Although Ariel has
come out on top in their many battles so far, she's
certainly taken a pounding along the way. And none
was worse than on November 30th.

That's when The Crazy Mexican actually tricked Ariel
into accepting him as a tag partner! When Ariel's
scheduled partner couldn't wrestle due to an injury,
Crazy Mex convinced Ariel that they should "bury the
hatchet". Ariel had no reason to believe that the
masked man was less than sincere.

Unfortunately, once the tag match started against two
of the biggest, nastiest male wrestlers in SCCW, Ariel
quickly realized that she had made a mistake. The
Crazy Mexican refused to tag into the match. Instead,
he stood in his corner and simply watched as poor
Ariel was slammed, stomped, punched, pounded and
decimated by every move that her opponents could
manage. Even double teams by the two big men weren't
enough to bring Ariel's "partner" into the action.

When The Crazy Mexican *did* finally get involved, it
was to help in attacking Ariel!

No sooner was Ariel saved by some fellow wrestlers who
appeared from the backstage area, than a challenge was
made. The Women's Title was put up for grabs. Ariel
would face The Crazy Mexican, one-on-one, to see who
would walk away with the gold.

Can our G.L.O.R.Y. Girl defeat the six-foot tall,
190-pound masked Mexican? She has before, but who
knows how badly The Crazy One wants to hold a
championship? He has yet to capture any SCCW belt...
so what lengths might he go to in order to win one?

We'll know on December 29th. Either Ariel will be
holding the Women's Belt up high...or she may be a
total wreck after her battle with the unpredictable
Mexican madman.

==> Dakota Returns To The Ring; But First...
==>

An old friend has recently contacted G.L.O.R.Y.!

Those of you who have been around from G.L.O.R.Y.'s
early days certainly remember Dakota. The powerful
amazon easily took care of her many female opponents,
and she just as easily took care of many of the men
in the feds she regularly worked. She was a crowd
favorite. She holds the distinction of being the
first G.L.O.R.Y. Girl Of The Month winner back in
July of 2000.

When she announced her retirement in the Spring of
this year, many were shocked. Dakota told her fans
that she had gotten married, and she wanted time off
so that she and her new husband could do some
traveling and "chill out" from the hustle and bustle
of the wrestling business.

As the months rolled by, fans wondered if Dakota would
ever see action in the ring again.

We're happy to report that Dakota has made plans to
return to the ring wars. But, she has a little project
that she has to take care of in the meantime...

Dakota and her husband are expecting to have a baby in
May, 2002! Our hearty congratulations go out to the
happy couple!

Dakota has indicated that after the baby arrives--and
she has a little time to get back into fighting
shape--she fully intends to step through the ropes
again. We're looking forward to that happening and, of
course, we'll keep you informed of everything that is
going on with Dakota as we hear it.

==> Precious Lucy Takes A NASTY Beating!
==>

Alex Trabek: "She's one of the most hardcore ladies in
wrestling today."

Vince: "Who is Stacey Keibler?"

BZZZZZZ....BZZZZZZ

Alex Trabek: "Oh, I'm so sorry Vince."

Vince: "What do mean 'you're so sorry?' Don't you
know that I can buy and sell you a hundred times
over?! DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!!! I SAY IT'S STACEY
KEIBLER, DAMMIT!!!"

Alex Trabek: "The correct answer Vince, and ladies
and gentlemen, is Precious Lucy."

Enough playing around. Lucy certainly wasn't playing
around on November 30th. In fact, Precious Lucy found
herself in BIG trouble when she and her tag team
partner (and student), Sweet Cherrie, took on two
nasty men in action north of the border.

How bad was it for Lucy? Well, after the two men took
care of her young teammate, they both turned on Lucy.
And as if a two-on-one wasn't bad enough, a THIRD
accomplice jumped into the picture and began beating
on our hardcore G.L.O.R.Y. Girl!

Lucy was thrown into the ringside barricade, nailed in
the back and head with a steel chair, and worked over
with a chain for good measure by the dastardly
trio. The bloodied and bashed Lucy took one of the
worst beatings of her career.

How bad was it? She couldn't go to work the day after
the ordeal. So much for the old "wrestling is fake"
argument.

Lucy and Cherrie plan on getting even for the beating
they took. And they plan on getting even soon. We'll
be covering more of Precious Lucy's exploits as they
happen on the G.L.O.R.Y. site.

Take a trip to Precious Lucy's newly redesigned site:

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

Lots of new ladies have joined us on the site since
our last issue of the G.L.O.R.Y. Newsletter:

* Lexie Fyfe
* Amanda Violet
* Celeste
* Valentina
* Tracy
* La Felina
* GeeStar
* Trinity Payne

And the Legends:

* Penny Banner
* Natasha The Hatchet Lady

But we have some new names on tap to keep things
humming along in the next few weeks. A hot young
wrestler from Texas. A tough girl from the same state.
Perhaps some new names from the Chicago area? Then
there is the popular lady who has wrestled for and
appeared on WCW television. And we're working on
making some contacts with a few new legends, too.

So don't worry! Just keep dropping by G.L.O.R.Y. for
all the latest...



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

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

The feuds continue to simmer between the G.L.O.R.Y.
Girls...

* Flayre continues to be the target of both Sasha and
Kiley McLean:

Sasha claims that Flayre is trying to run
from her. Flayre's response is that the blonde
wrestler/manager seems unwilling to commit to dates
where the two can settle their recent differences with
a rematch of their Autumn tag-team battle.

Kiley Mclean, meanwhile, is fuming that she lost the
GWA Women's Title to the Flayre. The "on a roll
redhead" defeated Ms. McLean earlier this month to
take the belt in what many are saying is one of the
biggest upsets of the year on the women's scene.
Big, powerful Kiley is claiming that there's no way
Flayre legitimately defeated her for the championship.

Looks like Flayre definitely has her hands full with
these two fired-up opponents. And hope she doesn't
forget that Tiffani Monroe is another lady who can't
exactly be classified as "an ally".

Visit the Global Wrestling Alliance (GWA) site at:

http://hometown.aol.com/globalwrestling1/Main.html

Or Kiley McLean's site:

http://www.hometown.aol.com/KileyMcLean/Main.html

And we mentioned Tiffani Monroe, too...didn't we?

http://www.angelfire.com/wrestling2/TiffaniMonroe/


* Sonya Blackhawk and Lady Vendetta have been tossing
words back and forth on the G.L.O.R.Y. Message Board
recently. Perhaps it's just a little friendly rivalry
between the two ladies who work together at times in
the same training facility. Or maybe it's something
more...

Sonya Blackhawk has really gotten a lot of attention
since her debut on G.L.O.R.Y. two weeks ago. Could
"Lady V" resent the quick rise of the young star? Is
Sonya perhaps feeling a little too confident with her
new found fame? We don't know...yet. But it will be
worth keeping an eye towards Indiana rings in
early-2001 to see if these two ladies tangle in a more
physical nature. If we had to guess, we'd say that
there's something bigger brewing here...

You can visit Lady Vendetta at her personal site:

http://community-2.webtv.net/LadyVendetta/WomensWrestlingLady/

Or, checkout the National Wrestling Coalition...the
training center of Lady Vendetta and Sonya Blackhawk:

http://www.nwcwrestling.com/


* The GeeStar and Amber Holly hatred continues to run
deep. There's no new news here, really. These two
ladies have been beating the hell out of each other
for over six months now!

GeeStar has been challenging Holly to do battle with
her wherever and whenever she can. Despite the
accusations from the powerful and raucous brawler that
Ms. Holly has been trying to duck her, the blonde
grappling star has shown up for each contest for what
has turned out to be all-out warfare between Carolina
ring ropes. Their feud has even crossed over into
tag team territory, where they bring in Michael Yamaha
and the Gemini Kid as support for their knock-down,
drag-out intergender matches.

We hear that there's a possibility the PGWA--one
of the premier all-ladies wrestling associations in
the world--is trying to bring these two ladies
together for an anything goes, woman-to-woman private
grudge match to settle their differences once and for
all! If that happens...expect a reading of at
least 7.0 on the Richter Scale!

==>
==> AWF Ladies-Only Promotion?
==>

A lot of the buzz around Toronto's Apocalypse
Wrestling Federation (AWF) has revolved lately around
the Ladies Division. Tracy has wrestled the mask right
off the head of the gorgeous La Felina. Phoenix has
caused a major commotion in the few months that she's
been in the picture.

Meanwhile, Violet Flame--who traveled to Canada this
past summer to be a part of AWF's Canadian National
Exposition tour--has been keeping an eye on the
situation from down here in the states.

Add to that the fact that we hear there are some new
girls looking to make their mark in AWF.

All of this begs the question: Will AWF spin-off the
women into their own organization? The rumor mill has
been batting this one around lately. Some say it will
happen. Others say it's being resisted by the male
faction of AWF...who feel that perhaps fans may pay
attention to the distaff side at the expense of the
men. Official word from AWF is, well, nothing. There
is no official word.

So for the time being, all of this has to be looked at
as exactly what it is: rumor and speculation. Of
course, if there is any official word from AWF
officials about future plans for the ladies, we'll be
sure to bring it to you.

See what's happening with the AWF women at:

==>
==> Will XWF *Really* Give The Women A Chance?
==>

By now, most of you know about this new national
wrestling federation that is promising to give the WWF
a run for its money. The group has plans to use
former-WWF and WCW big name talent to make an
immediate impact with fans. Wrestlers such as Roddy
Piper, Hulk Hogan, Buff Bagwell, Brutus "the Barber"
Beefcake, Doink The Clown, Vampiro and others have
been mentioned as stars who have agreed to perform for
the fledgling company.

One thing that has been missing from all the hype of
this new promotion, as far as G.L.O.R.Y. fans are
concerned, is the women. Where are the lady stars?

Some people have said that the XWF is just not
interested in having a ladies division. According to
them, the XWF has been looking at using the ladies as
valets only...a blow to the grappling ladies who are
working hard to make it to the "big show."

But wait a second! G.L.O.R.Y. hears differently. One
of our sources--a source that we would classify as
*very* reliable--has told us that not only is the XWF
planning on having female talent on their wrestling
roster...they're looking to push the women in a
BIG way.

More good news: apparently the organization is looking
for newer, fresher faces who are performing throughout
the indy circuit. Farfetched? We don't think so. We
know that there are ladies who have not done the
WWF/WCW/ECW routine and who are talented and ready for
the chance to show their stuff to a national audience.
Many of the ladies on the G.L.O.R.Y. site right now
could fit the bill.

Is it possible that some of the ladies of G.L.O.R.Y.
are being scouted right now? Can't say for sure. After
all, that's why this report is showing-up in the
"G.L.O.R.Y. Rumors" section of the newsletter.

But what is it that they like to say? Oh yeah, "Where
there's smoke..."

The XWF site opened recently (although not complete):

==>
==> More G.L.O.R.Y. Names In PGWA's Future?
==>

Some G.L.O.R.Y. names have been talked about as
possible additions to the Professional Girl Wrestling
Association's roster.

We reported in a past issue that Awesome Anne and her
daughter Charisma were scheduled to travel over from
Great Britain to take part in a PGWA event. That
happened earlier this month.

Last issue we told you that K.C. Kelly might be
stepping through the ropes for the North Carolina
group.

Now we hear that G.L.O.R.Y. Girls GeeStar and Nicole
Starr may be showing up at PGWA...along with the girl
that everyone loves to hate, "The Fabulous Firebird"
Phoenix. Nothing is ever certain until the names are
signed on the dotted line, remember. But if we had to
guess, we'd lay our money on the fact that you'll see
these competitive ladies in PGWA action sooner rather
than later.

==>
==> Tracii Taylor/Brock Landers Love Connection?
==>

In what has turned into an almost nightly ritual on
the G.L.O.R.Y. Message Board...blonde bombshell, Web
model and indy wrestling star Tracii Taylor has been
having some not-so-innocent conversations with NEPW
wrestling star Brock Landers.

The long-distance "love connection" started taking
shape after Brock and his NEPW cohorts--T-Bonz,
Sienna, Damian, Bill Ding (Bill Ding!), and others--
crashed onto the G.L.O.R.Y. Board out of the blue a
few weeks ago.

It seemed that Tracii was immediately smitten with
Brock's witty repartee and sense of humor. But when
she saw a video clip that was posted on the NEPW Web
site of Brock wrestling in his shiny tights...the
G.L.O.R.Y. beauty *really* seemed to take an interest
in the Northeastern wrestler.

We have to believe that the pair have hooked-up on
some private email exchanges or chat conversations by
now. Based on how they've teased with each other in
public on the message board, we can only imagine how
steamy the conversations are one-on-one!

So what now? Will Tracii travel to New England Pro
Wrestling territory? Or will Brock Landers run to find
Tracii? Perhaps they'll meet halfway.

And can this all lead to a professional relationship?
Mixed tag teams are a common occurrence these days.
Maybe a team of Tracii Taylor and Brock Landers--"The
Playmate And The Playboy"--would be a force to be
taken seriously. Foxy and Joe Rules might have some
concerns in this regard. So might Ariel and Johnny
Angel.

And what would the NEPW's resident tough girl, Sienna,
have to say about all this? Would she look at
Ms. Taylor as a rival trying to elbow her way into
*her" NEPW territory? Could the two ladies coexist?
Could Brock's heart stand the strain of such a
situation? Could I think of any other crazy
questions to exploit this whole thing?!!!

Only time will tell where this "Love Connection" is
heading...

Want to visit NEPW's site? Good luck finding some
pictures of this zany crew! But if you do, let me know
about it, okay? NEPW is at...

==> 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.
