Dawn Marie - Women of Wrestling

Dawn Marie Psaltis was born on November 3rd, 1970 in Rahway, New Jersey.

She is a pro wrestler and wrestling valet, better known by her ring name, Dawn Marie. She is probably best known for her appearances with Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) and the SmackDown! brand of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) during which she was known as one of the WWE Divas.

As a little girl, Dawn Marie was a fan of the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), admiring wrestlers such wrestling stars as Bob Backlund, Jimmy Snuka and Roddy Piper. She graduated from the New York University Stern School of Business at the age of 23 and went on to work for a real estate consultancy firm in Manhattan, New York, reaching the position of Director of International Real Estate.

After meeting up with an ex-boyfriend who had aspired to play football professionally and finding out that he had been signed by the Chicago Bears, Dawn Marie decided that she would pursue a career in entertainment. She resigned from the firm and moved into the entertainment industry with the goal of becoming either a model or an actress.

While working for Jonathan Gold, a talent agent and professional wrestling promoter, Dawn told Gold that she would be interested in pursuing a career in wrestling.
Gold took her comment to heart and later contacted Dawn Marie, informing her that she was scheduled to appear at a wrestling show in New Jersey. Dawn Marie went to the show and managed Tony Atlas in his match against Jimmy "Super Fly" Snuka. After the event, Dawn Marie stopped modeling and began appearing on the independent wrestling circuit, managing and learning from wrestlers such as Devon Storm, Buddy Landell, Snuka, Tom Brandi and Steve Corino.
She made her in-ring debut in January of 1995.

Dawn Marie spent four years working on the northeastern independent circuit, appearing with promotions such as Maryland Championship Wrestling and the Mid-Eastern Wrestling Federation. In 1999, she was told by Jeff Jones that Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) employee Buh Buh Ray Dudley was interested in bringing her into the company. At the behest of Dudley, Dawn Marie travelled to the ECW Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where ECW promoter Paul Heyman told her that he would book her for several appearances in a storyline with Lance Storm. Dawn Marie debuted in ECW on August 28, 1998 as the manager of Lance Storm, feuding with Chris Candido and his manager, Tammy Lynn Sytch. Heyman was impressed by the chemistry between Dawn Marie and Storm, and offered Dawn Marie a contract, which she accepted.

Storm and Dawn Marie feuded with Candido and Sytch for several months, during which time Dawn Marie was renamed Tammy Lynn Bytch to spite Candido and his manager. She used a similar tactic during a feud between Storm and Tommy Dreamer in early 1999, After the respective feuds ended, Dawn Marie used the ring name Dawn Marie Bytch, which was eventually shortened to simply Dawn Marie. After Storm formed a tag team with Justin Credible known as the Impact Players in the summer of 1999, Dawn Marie managed both men, helping them win the ECW Tag Team Championship on two occasions. Dawn Marie continued to manage Storm until he left ECW for World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in May 2000. Dawn Marie was also offered a contract by WCW, but declined to leave ECW in order to remain with her fiancé, ECW wrestler Simon Diamond.

Daizee Haze - Pro Women Wrestler

Ring name: Daizee Haze
Height: 5 ft 4 in (163 cm)
Weight: 110 lb (50 kg)
Born: May 11th, 1983,Cape Girardeau, Missouri, (Billed from Forest Park, Illinois)
Trained by: Delirious and Kid Kash
Pro Wrestling Debut: March 29th, 2002

Daizee Haze is a female pro wrestler.

Daizee debuted on March 29, 2002, using a hippie stoner gimmick. She initially worked for the Gateway Championship Wrestling federation based in Missouri, where she got her training, until moving on to IWA Mid-South as the valet of Matt Sydal, then began competing in the women's Wrestling division.

Daizee Haze was trained by the wrestler Delirious, and much like Delirious, Daizee Haze chooses to wear very colorful and unique ring attire at times. She has also been known to use some of Delirious' trademarks, such as BAM (leaping running lariat), as well as mumbling incoherent things during her wrestling matches.

She is one of the most talented female wrestlers currently on the independent circuit. She initially debuted in Ring of Honor along the side of Matt Sydal, and had a brief women's wrestling feud with Allison Danger during Danger's solo days away from the Prophecy, before she left ROH and returned alongside Christopher Daniels. When her managed wrestler Matt Sydal joined Generation Next, Daizee Haze became the valet of Generation Next for a brief time. On November 5th 2005 at ROH's Vendetta show, the main event was an 8 man war, featuring the Embassy, represented by Alex Shelley, Jimmy Rave, Abyss and Prince Nana himself, vs AJ Styles (who substituted Roderick Strong due to his World Title match the same night), and Generation Next, represented by Austin Aries, Jack Evans and Matt Sydal. They were accompanied by Daizee Haze, the valet of Matt Sydal, and Jade Chung, who had been mistreated and borderline physically abused in public at ringside by Prince Nana before leaving the Embassy on October 1st 2005 at ROH's Joe vs Kobashi show, being sheltered from the Embassy by Roderick Strong. This just added more shock value to the ending of the main event of Vendetta, which saw Prince Nana pull Daizee Haze in the ring by the hair, and almost immediately she was saved by Austin Aries and Matt Sydal. However, Daizee Haze delivered a low blow to both Aries and Sydal, and after a brief confrontation with Jade Chung, she delivered a Daizee Cutter to Chung and joined the Embassy.

Alongside working with ROH, Daizee is a mainstay in the SHIMMER female wrestling promotion based out of Chicago.

During 2006 Daizee had a big winning streak in Chikara singles competition holding victories over Allison Danger (twice), Sara del Rey, Alere Little Feather, Mickie Knuckles and Portia Perez.

On September 1st and 2nd 2006 Daizee defeated Cheerleader Melissa, Allison Danger and KAORU to win the APW ChickFight 6 Tournament.

Daffney - Female Wrestling

Ring name(s) Daffney, Daffney Unger, Lucy (WWE, XPW), Lucy Furr (ROH, WEW), Shark Girl (TNA), Shannon (TNA)
Height 5 ft 6 in (168 cm)
Weight 130 lb (59 kg)
Born July 17, 1975,Wiesbaden, Germany
Resides Atlanta, Georgia, United States
Billed from "Paradise Island"
Trained by Crowbar, Dwayne Bruce, Sugar Shane Helms, Malia Hosaka, Dusty Rhodes, Selena Majors, Leilani Kai, Johnny Slaughter, Madusa
Wrestling Debut: November 1999

Shannon Claire Spruill (born July 17th, 1975) is an American professional wrestler and valet. She is perhaps best known for her appearances with World Championship Wrestling between 1999 and 2001 under the ring name Daffney.

A "military brat", Spruill was born in an United States Air Force base in Wiesbaden, Germany where her father was stationed. In 1976 the family returned to the United States, residing first in Salt Lake City, Utah, then in Savannah, Georgia and finally on the Scott Air Force Base in St. Clair County, Illinois. They later relocated to Oxford, England for three years, before moving to the Ramstein Air Base in Germany until 1987, when her father, by then a Lieutenant Colonel, retired.

Spruill graduated from Georgia State University in March 1998 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Film and Video production, with minors in Acting and Music. She went on to work in Media Production before becoming an actress. In November 1999 she responded to a World Championship Wrestling contest looking to acquire new talent, and was hired.

In WCW, Spruill played Daffney, the mentally deranged, besotted girlfriend of David Flair, managing him and Crowbar. The gimmick was based in part on Mallory Knox, the character played by Juliette Lewis in the film Natural Born Killers. Spruill's first appearance was on the December 6 episode of Nitro, when she was shown sitting on her bed and chanting Flair's name.

On May 15, 2000 Spruill and Crowbar defeated WCW Cruiserweight Champion Chris Candido and his girlfriend Tammy Lynn Sytch in an mixed tag team match and were declared co-champions. The following week on the May 22 episode of Nitro, Crowbar and Spruill faced one another to determine the undisputed Cruiserweight Champion. Crowbar held back during the match, but still dominated the smaller Spruill. After Candido entered the ring and hit Crowbar with a sitout piledriver, Spruill inadvertently pinned him while trying to revive him and thus became the second woman ever to hold the Cruiserweight Championship. Her reign lasted until June 7 when Lieutenant Loco pinned Disco Inferno in a triple threat title defence while Spruill was hurt following interference from Miss Hancock.

Spruill went on to feud with Hancock, who had stolen the affections of Flair, who had allegedly fathered Hanock's unborn child.

Daffney was notable for her constantly changing hair color, wide selection of T-Shirts with slogans on them, and her propensity to scream loudly and shrilly for no apparent reason. She began screaming at the suggestion of WCW writer Ed Ferrara. Though Spruill's somewhat gothic character earned her a small but loyal fanbase, she was released by WCW on February 2, 2001 due to budget cutbacks (WCW itself was purchased by its rival, the World Wrestling Federation, a month later).

Spruill opted to continue wrestling, attending Dusty Rhodes's Turnbuckle Championship Wrestling training camp in Kennesaw, Georgia for eight months. She made several appearances for the fledgling Total Nonstop Action Wrestling promotion in 2002 as Shannon and Shark Girl, and worked for Xtreme Pro Wrestling in 2003 as Lucy, the manager of Vic Grimes. She also appeared in Ring of Honor, where she debuted on April 26, 2003 as Lucy Furr ("Lucifer"), the valet of the Second City Saints.

In July 2003 Spruill was signed to a developmental deal by World Wrestling Entertainment. She worked in Ohio Valley Wrestling as the manager of Aaron Stevens until she was released on December 17, 2003. She retired from professional wrestling in 2004 following a knee injury, intending to focus on her acting career, and sold her wrestling boots to her then-roommate, Mickie James. While retired, Spruill worked as a personal trainer. In June 2005 she posed for a website owned and operated by wrestling divas Francine and Missy Hyatt.

In February 2006, Spruill returned to the independent circuit. Spruill debuted in Women's Extreme Wrestling on April 6, 2006 under the ring name Lucy Furr, acting as a lumberjill in a match between Amy Lee and Tai Killer Weed.

On June 2, 2006 in Irondale, Alabama, Spruill faced El Mexico for the NWA Wrestle Birmingham Junior Heavyweight Championship. With the help of her manager, Robert Fuller (who referred to Spruill as his "Million Dollar Baby"), Spruil defeated El Mexicano to win her third wrestling title.

In April 2007, Spruill debuted as Daffney for SHIMMER Women Athletes. She conducted an interview where she revealed her goal was to return to what she did from the beginning of her career, and that was to manage. Later that evening she would appear as the manager of the wrestler MsChif.

Daffney and MsChif together?

Ooooooh man!

Retired November 26, 2006 (?)

Amy Christine Dumas (born April 14, 1975) is an American professional wrestler better known by the ring name Lita, and lead singer of punk rock band The Luchagors.

Amy Dumas attended many different schools throughout her childhood and adolescent years, and managed to finish high school six months prior to graduation. She also studied Spanish for three years. She attended college at Georgia State University, where she majored in education .

Amy had always been an excellent swimmer and, as an early adult, she practiced judo competitively. Dumas played bass guitar in a band called 3 Card Trick and was a roadie for another band, Fifteen (sometimes mistakenly believed to be the band 7 Seconds because they were Amy's favorite band), for five years before becoming a wrestler. Dumas first became interested in wrestling after watching Mexican luchador Rey Mysterio, Jr. wrestle on an episode of World Championship Wrestling's WCW Monday Nitro alongside her then-boyfriend, who was an avid wrestling fan . She traveled to Mexico to learn how to wrestle and learn more about the sport and also encounter a huge assortment of wrestlers such as Yoshihiro Tajiri, Val Venis, Essa Rios, Super Crazy and Chris Jericho. As stated in her autobiography, Dumas financed her training by dancing in a club under the pseudonym Misty. During her stay in Mexico, Dumas trained under numerous wrestlers, including Kevin Quinn, Miguel Perez and Ricky Santana. Following the completion of her training, Dumas made several appearances with the Empresa Mexicana de la Lucha Libre, and spent ten days working for a promotion in Peru. Upon returning to the United States, Dumas began working as a valet on the independent circuit in such promotions as MCW under the ring name Angelica, at one point managing Christopher Daniels. In the spring of 1999, she was approached by Paul Heyman, the owner and booker of Extreme Championship Wrestling, then the third largest promotion in the United States. Dumas debuted in ECW as Miss Congeniality, the on-screen girlfriend of Danny Doring. Dumas later began using the name Angelica once again, and made her pay-per-view debut on July 18, 1999 at Heat Wave 1999.

Dumas was introduced to veteran wrestler Dory Funk, Jr. by ECW wrestler Rob Van Dam, and Funk invited her to attend his wrestling school, the Funkin' Conservatory. Dumas attended the school alongside 23 men, requesting that Funk treat her no differently from any other trainee. She graduated from the school in August 1999 and returned to ECW. In the meanwhile, Funk and his wife compiled video footage of Dumas and sent it to the World Wrestling Federation. The Federation was sufficiently impressed, and on November 1, 1999, Dumas was signed to a WWF developmental deal. She made her final appearance with ECW on October 23, 1999

She won a battle royal to fill the vacated title in 1984. Devine competed at AWA's SuperClash, WrestleRock '86, Battle by the Bay, and War in the Windy City cards. She was recognized as champion several times during that time period, mostly being awarded the belt by default as the number one contender (a common practice of the AWA), and trading it with Martel.

She was very active in the AWA in late 1989 and throughout 1990 as part of the Team Challenge Series, wrestling in mixed tag team matches and in singles matches against Wendi Richter and Magnificent Mimi. She won the title the final time on December 6, 1989 when she defeated Judy Martin to determine the new Women's Champion after Richter vacated the belt.

On October 16, 2004 on Atlanta, Georgia, Dauncey took part in the "Gut Check Challenge", a talent recruitment event organized by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling in conjunction with TrimSpa as part of the Show of Strength Pro Championship weekend. The event saw entrants rated on the basis of their performance in five categories: "back bump", "mat techniques", "ring interviews", "running the ropes" and "squat challenge".

While attending high school, she was a star on the girls' track team and won honors in the high jump category. When Svonsteckik graduated, she ventured to Nashville, Tennessee with the dream of singing at the Grand Old Opry.

It was her first exposure to live professional wrestling and she was easily drawn to the spectacle. Here Cora witnessed the acclaimed Women's World Champion Mildred Burke.

Wrestler: Cindy Rogers
Hometown: Hartford, Connecticut
Height & Weight: 5'5" - 140 lbs
Trained by: The Monster Factory

How It Started: I have always loved wrestling since I was little. My favorite was the Junkyard Dog. Then I became a diehard Hulkamaniac and Hart Foundation fan. My brothers and I would wrestle all the time--much to my mother's and furniture's dismay! When they came out with the wrestling figures(LJN), I started collecting them. I still collect figures to this day. (It's definitely a conversation piece!) I really wasn't aware of wrestling schools until they did the first Tough Enough. I started researching schools and asking wrestlers about schools. Sgt.Slaughter and Hacksaw Jim Duggan actually led me to the school I trained at: The Monster Factory.

Wrestler name(s) Christie Hemme,Christy Hemme,Sunni
Billed height 5 ft 5 (165 cm)
Billed weight 116 lb (53 kg)
Born October 28, 1980,Temecula, California
Resides Los Angeles, California
Trained by Fit Finlay,Dean Malenko,Ricky Steamboat,Melina Perez,Inoki Dojo (California),Scott D'Amore
Wrestling Debut July 19, 2004

Christina Lee ("Christy") Hemme is an American model and pro wrestler. Christy , best known for her appearances with WWE and her pictorial in the April 2005 issue of Playboy, is currently working for TNA.

Hemme debuted in TNA on April 23, 2006 at Lockdown 2006, giving an envelope to commentator Mike Tenay containing the announcement that Larry Zbyszko had been placed on probation and Raven (whom Zbyszko had fired earlier that year in kayfabe) had been reinstated. In addition to her hosting role on TNA iMPACT!, she is also the co-host of the Internet show TNA Global iMPACT! with Jeremy Borash. At TNA Hardcore War, Christy refereed a match between Traci and Gail Kim. In July 2006, she was featured on Spike TV's Women of Action special.

In September 2006, Hemme recorded a song entitled "Society Box", which will be featured on TNA's November 21, 2006 music release, 3rd Degree Burns. She has also been travelling to Windsor, Ontario to train under TNA agent Scott D'Amore in between TNA TV tapings. She won TNA's Knockout of the Year for 2006.

On January 14, 2007 at the TNA Final Resolution PPV, Christy came out and interrupted the Voodoo Kin Mafia and cut a promo about women's involvement in wrestling today. She said that she wanted to wrestle too - and the mostly male crowd in the TNA arena jeered her. Kip James called her a slut, which garnered him a slap from Hemme, while BG James attempted to play peacemaker.

In the following weeks, Kip and Christy would be shown getting into a fair few arguments over his lack of respect for her, and for women as a whole. Hemme made her TNA in-ring debut at TNA Against All Odds where she wrestled and defeated "The Big Fat Oil Guy" in a Tuxedo Match.

On the March 8 version of Impact, Christy asked Jim Cornette for a match pitting VKM against her a new, previously undisclosed, team, at TNA Destination X. Cornette consented and "booked the match" in storyline. On the pay-per-view, Hemme introduced The Heartbreakers (formerly The Heart Throbs of the WWE). Despite Christy's attempts to give Kip James a "low blow", VKM defeated her team, who she later browbeat at ringside.

In November 2006, Hemme participated in the Queens of Chaos shows in Paris, France. She wrestled two matches, losing to former WCW talent April Hunter. She then defeated British wrestler Minx to earn the right to referee the championship match, which was eventually won by Hunter.

Christy made her acting debut in the film Fallen Angels, portraying the deadly sin "Lust". She will also be appearing in another horror film tentatively titled The Dead Season, playing a zombie.

Christy also continues to make appearance both under and outside the TNA banner, such as conventions, auto shows, and the like.

UK Women's Wrestling - Klondike Kate (Klondyke Kate)

Legendary UK female wrestler Jayne Porter is better known as Klondike Kate (or Klondyke Kate).
(Not to be confused with the vaudeville star or the restaurant)
Kate is 160 kilos (thats roughly 352 pounds to us metrically impaired) and that makes her a great "Monster Heel"
We don't have many female Monster Heels here in the US like they do in Japan and Mexico.
She has wrestled not only in the UK, but she has toured Japan as well.

Here is Klondike Kate taking on Gaby Lailee in a match in France from the early 90s.



And guess what?
Kate is still around!

UK Women's Wrestling - Mitzi Mueller

Mitzi Mueller was one of the UK's first women wrestlers and her husband Brian Dixon is a wrestling promoter. In fact they first met when Brian refereed a match of Mitzi's against Hellcat Haggerty, accidentally stepping on Mitzi's long blonde hair whilst doing so! Mitzi eventually forgive Brian and they did get married as they toured together around the UK. They have a daughter Letitia, who toured as well before deciding to become a wrestling announcer. She's just married Dean, who is - you guessed it - a wrestler!

" K.Os are not the norm in women's bouts as being of lighter build it is not always possible for a woman to land a K.O. blow. K.Os I have witnessed include a judo chop to the chest delivered by Mitzi Muller on Sue Brittain, this brought an instant K.O. "

WWE: Candice Michelle

Ring name(s): Candice Michelle,Candice
Billed Height: 5 ft 7 in (1.70 m)
Billed Weight: 120 lbs.
Born: September 30th, 1978,Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Resides: Los Angeles, California
Trained by: Torrie Wilson,Victoria, Dave Finlay, Trish Stratus, Arn Anderson and Grant McKee
Wrestling Debut: November 15, 2004

Candice Michelle Beckman was born on September 30th, 1978 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
She is better known as Candice Michelle or just Candice, and is a model, actress, and professional wrestler of German and Costa Rican descent.

Candice Michelle came to WWE as a contestant in the 2004 WWE Diva Search. Although she wasn't one of the final ten contestants to make it to the televised event, WWE hired Candice anyway and placed her on the RAW brand under the gimmick of a makeup artist. Initially, Candice Michelle's role was limited. She was never given an angle on RAW and she rarely made television appearances unless to participate in one of the program's occasional lingerie pillow fights or bikini contests that were held between Christy Hemme, Maria Kanellis, Stacy Keibler, and herself.

On June 30, 2005, at the end of the WWE Draft Lottery, Candice Michelle was traded to the SmackDown! brand, where she became involved in a feud between Torrie Wilson and Melina Perez. Candice Michelle quickly became Jillian Hall and Melina's rival when she befriended Wilson. On July 24, 2005, at The Great American Bash 2005, Candice Michelle served as the Special Guest Referee for the Bra and Panties match between Torrie Wilson and Melina. Melina was victorious, and after the match, Melina pushed Candice from behind. This resulted in both divas attacking Melina and removing her bottoms as well.

She was then moved to RAW in a trade along with Wilson, while Keibler and Hemme went to SmackDown!. From that point on, Candice and Wilson taunted Ashley Massaro (2005 WWE Diva Search Winner), bringing in Victoria to attack her as part of their "initiation" for the new Diva. This continued on until Trish Stratus returned from an injury to help Massaro retaliate against Candice and her two cohorts, who became known as the heel stable Ladies in Pink, and later known as Vince's Devils, which seemed to be a play on Charlie's Angels.

Candice then began a gimmick where she acted like a princess. She would go to the ring carrying a plastic wand and opening her jacket to the crowd while standing on the ring apron to reveal her risque' wrestling attire.

Candice's first shot at the WWE Women's Championship came at Taboo Tuesday 2005 where she lost in a Fulfill Your Fantasy Battle Royal.

She would appear at New Year's Revolution 2006 in the first ever Bra and Panties Gauntlet Match, but was elimated by Maria.

After winning a Women's Battle Royal on RAW, Candice Michelle would get her first singles WWE Women's Championship match while a part of Vince's Devils, but lost to then-champion Trish Stratus on February 27, 2006. After this match, Candice Michelle slapped Wilson, blaming her for the loss.

Vince's Devils was short-lived because Torrie Wilson became a babyface diva once again when Candice Michelle and Victoria turned on her during Candice's Playboy cover unveiling. This lengthy feud between Candice Michelle and Wilson led to a match in which Playboy's then-newest cover girl Candice Michelle would face off against the 2-time former cover girl (Wilson) at WrestleMania 22 in a Playboy Pillow Fight. Wilson won the match, but the feud continued on-and-off when Michelle was working backstage segments. In late 2006, they resolved the feud as they appeared in segments together and even worked together in some matches.

Candice also appeared in both of 2006's Saturday Night's Main Events on NBC. In the March 18 episode, she and Victoria lost to Trish Stratus and Mickie James in a tag team match. On the July 15 program, Candice was eliminated in the first round of a Divas' bikini bull riding competition, which was won by Michelle McCool.

On the July 17, 2006 edition of RAW, Candice was the Special Guest Referee during a tag team match between Trish Stratus & Torrie Wilson vs. Victoria & Mickie James . At one point, Mickie James got in Candice's face, but Candice retaliated by slapping her and tossing her out of the ring. Afterwards, Victoria tried to clothesline Candice but she ducked, allowing Trish to hit the Stratusfaction gaining the victory for her and Torrie Wilson. This incident resulted in Candice becoming a babyface, and the feud with Mickie and Victoria lasted a few weeks.

After Unforgiven 2006 Candice then began a short feud with Lita, even winning a match against her the night after, but going on to loose against her the next week after interference from Edge in the first round of the WWE Women's Championship tournament. She would later compete in the first ever Extreme Strip Poker segment on ECW on Sci-fi on October 10, 2006 representing RAW.

On November 27, 2006 edition of RAW, during the Women's Battle Royal, Candice suffered a broken nose when Victoria nailed her in the face with a savate kick. She had surgery on November 30, 2006 to repair her deviated septum.

Candice returned at New Year's Revolution 2007 on January 7, 2007, when she went down to the ring with Maria to fight off Melina as she tried to interfere in the WWE Women's Championship match between champion Mickie James and Victoria. Candice made her in-ring return on January 22 when she and Mickie James defeated Victoria and Melina in a tag team match. Her next feud came when Melina claimed in her blogs that all Playboy cover models were not capable of fighting her in the ring. Candice took offense to this and challenged Melina to a Bra and Panties Match, which she lost. On April 6, 2007, Heat episode Candice defeated Victoria with her Candy Kick.(Occasionally referred to as a Spinning Wheel Kick or Kneel Kick this usually involves the wrestler spinning as they jump so that his body is somewhat horizontal, before hitting their opponent with back of his leg(s) or heel(s) on the face, neck or chest. Rob Van Dam does a variation of this called the "Van Daminator", in which Rob Van Dam forces a steel chair into the face of the opponent using a spinning heel kick)

Forwarded Message from Patti Powers about KC Kelly...

From Patti Powers:
KC Kelly
" As many of you probably know she lost her husband without warning last
week. She called Friday and is really just stressing out big time as
far as covering the cost of his funeral. She asked Marvin to just pay
for it for her but we don't have the money to just pay if all for her
and it's a scary time for us with his surgery just around the corner.
Lady Amazon has offered to help collect the funds for her so please
anyone who's able and willing to help her out no matter how small
please yell at her or me. You're welcome to email me privately as well
as check my group for updates on her.
She and he were talking last Tuesday and he just fell in the floor with
heart failure. He was a really nice guy and truly devoted to her and
very proud of her for wrestling.
Please do consider helping her out. It is a very stressful time for
her and she's just letting money worries drive herself crazy. My group is
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PattiPowersII/
Thanks, Patti Powers"

These ladies wrestle for the love of the sport. Their world is like that of Mildred Burke and the great classic ladies, not the WWE's Trish and Candice.
They love what they do and we love what they do.
So if anyone can do anything, even if its just sending out a call for help like this, please contact Patti at her group and let her know.

Thank you,

Candi Devine - Women Pro Wrestlers

Candi Devine

Ring name(s) Christy Monroe,The Goddess,Candi Devine,Candi Divine,Lady Divine
Height 5'7
Weight 127 lbs.
Resides Nashville, Tennessee
Trained by: Owen Henley, Don Fargo, Joey Rossi
Pro Wrestling Debut: 1980

Candi Devine, (born Candace Rummel), was a professional wrestler. Devine (also known as Candi Divine) also had a sister who wrestled briefly as Rose Love and Rose Devine.

Candi started in wrestling by running a fan club for Lanny Poffo and working briefly as a ring girl for ICW in Kentucky. Candi Devine suffered an injury when Amy Monroe botched a monkey flip and hit her head on Devine's jaw in Memphis. Devine required hours of plastic surgery to repair her badly broken jaw and came close to dying on the operating table..

Devine is best known for her time spent in the American Wrestling Association (AWA) fueding with Sherri Martel. She held the AWA Women's Championship on five separate occasions. She won a battle royal to fill the vacated title in 1984. Devine competed at AWA's SuperClash, WrestleRock '86, Battle by the Bay, and War in the Windy City cards. She was recognized as champion several times during that time period, mostly being awarded the belt by default as the number one contender (a common practice of the AWA), and trading it with Martel.

She was very active in the AWA in late 1989 and throughout 1990 as part of the Team Challenge Series, wrestling in mixed tag team matches and in singles matches against Wendi Richter and Magnificent Mimi. She won the title the final time on December 6, 1989 when she defeated Judy Martin to determine the new Women's Champion after Richter vacated the belt.

She also spent time in the Ladies Professional Wrestling Association (LPWA) as The Goddess.

On June 9, 1991, Rockin' Robin defeated Devine to become the first UWF Women's Champion at UWF Beach Brawl, the company's first and only pay-per-view. Devine won the UWF Women's Championship in 1994 after she defeated Tina Moretti, and again in 1996.

Candi Devine occasionally does local shows for LadySports.com and SlamminLadies.com. Candi Devine defeated Bambi on a USWO card on October 14, 2005.

Candi Divine now resides in Nashville where she works as a physical trainer.
