NCW Femmes Fatales

On September 5th, 2009, a new wrestling promotion made it's debut.
The promotion is called NCW Femmes Fatales, and it's a division of Northern Championship Wrestling.
NCW FF is a Montreal based female independent professional wrestling promotion, and taking a look at it's roster, it includes some of the best talent in female independent wrestling today...

Addy Starr
Anna Minoushka
Anastasia Ivy
Ariel
Ayako Hamada
Cat Power
Cherry Bomb
Cheerleader Melissa
Kacey Diamond
Kalamity
Karen Brooks
Kylie Pierce
La Parfaite Caroline
LuFisto
Mary Lee Rose
Mercedes Martinez
Midianne
Mistress Belmont
Misty Heaven
MsChif
P.J. Tyler
Portia Perez
Roxie Cotton
Sara Del Rey
She Nay Nay

The promotion is run by LuFisto and Stephane Bruyere and NCW FF has an agreement with SHIMMER Women Athletes to allow the SHIMMER Championship to be contested at NCW FF events.

With this much talent and more coming in and visiting, I think this will be a big deal.

They are already getting a good sized internet presence and with Wrestlin' Wally doing some of their photography, you can bet they are gonna look good while they are doing it.

Their next card is Februray 6th, 2010, so if you are in the Montreal area (or wanna plan a road trip) go check them out.

The card includes:

Lufisto vs Hamada (how awesome is that?)
Cat Power vs Cheerleader Melissa
Mercedes Martinez vs Portia Perez
Ariel vs Kalamity
Cherry Bomb vs Delmont
PJ Tyler vs Sabrina Kyle vs She Nay Nay vs Addy Star
Kylie Pierce vs Kacey Diamond
Roxie Cotton (I love that name!) and La Parfaite Caroline vs Mary Lee Rose and Karen Brooks
Midianne vs Anastasia Ivy

Shimmer Women Athletes

The awesome Rain

I talk a lot about Shimmer here, but I have never really taken the time to highlight just what it is.
Shimmer is called Shimmer Women Athletes or SHIMMER Women Athletes or just plain SHIMMER.
It is a Chicago based female independent pro wrestling promotion created by Dave Prazak and run by him and Allison Danger.
Shimmer held it's first event on November 6, 2005.
SHIMMER is closely affiliated with ROH (Ring of Honor) and is the home of probably the best female wrestling you will see.

And the list of SHIMMER wrestlers from the past and present is long and stellar.
Just a few of the female wrestlers that have worked for the company are Rain, Ariel, Jetta, Cat Power, Nevaeh, Daffney, Lorelei Lee, Cheerleader Melissa and Jennifer Blake.

Of course many SHIMMER stars ( like Amazing Kong (Awesome Kong), Cheerleader Melissa (Raisha Saeed) , Daffney, Nikki Roxx (Roxxi) and for a short time, Rain, as Payton Banks ) have gone onto work for TNA.

And Beth Phoenix and Nattie Neidhart (Natalya) also worked for Shimmer at one time.

I really cant say enough about this organization, so the best thing to do is check out their website here:

Cat Power (Haley Rogers) - Female Wrestling

This lovely young lady is another Shimmer wrestler, Catherine Power (Cat Power).
Cat was born on November 15, 1985, in North Sydney, Canada.
Besides Cat Power, she also wrestles under the name Haley Rogers.
Besides Shimmer, Cat has wrestled for Blood Sweat and Ears, Border City Wrestling, Pro Wrestling Xtreme and Women's Extreme Wrestling.
Cat was bitten by the wrestling bug so hard, she left University College of Cape Breton to go to the Can-Am Wrestling School in Windsor, Ontario.
