At NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia, Ember Moon defeated former MMA star Shayna Baszler.
But all during the match, Shayna tried to break Ember's arm.
After failing to win the match, Shayna jumped Ember and applied the Kirifuda Clutch until she passed out.
So today let's go back to the 1980s and Wendi Richter.
For a while there Wendi was incredibly popular and pretty much everywhere.
This five foot eight, 140 pound beauty held the AWA Women's Championship, the NWA Women's World Tag Team Championship (with Joyce Grable), she was the NWF Women's Champion, she held the WWC Women's Championship twice and she held the WWF Women's Championship twice.
It's been a long time since I did anything on one of my favorite female wrestlers, Brandi Alexander.
Brandi was born on March 1st, 1974 in Fayetteville, West Virginia and was trained by Larry Sharpe and Glenn Ruth at the legendary Monster Factory in Paulsboro, NJ .
That's the same school that Balls Mahoney, Bam Bam Bigelow, Kevin Von Erich, Raven and WWE Superstars Sheamus and Paul "Big Show" Wight trained at.
Brandi held championship belts in many federations including the Canadian Wrestling Alliance, the Carolina Wrestling Federation, the Frontier Wrestling Alliance, Ladies All-Pro Wrestling and the World Wide Wrestling Alliance.
She even did couple of matches on WCW beating Miss Madness (Molly Holly) on an episode of WCW Thunder.
Can you believe I have never done anything about Jessicka Havok here?
I couldn't either but I checked and sure enough, Jessicka Havok came up with no matches.
Jessicka Havok was born Jessica Cricks on June 20th, 1986 in Massillon, Ohio.
She was trained by Shasta, Justin Diaz and Lones Oaks and made her pro wrestling debut in 2004.
Yes...Jessica has been wrestling for 10 years.
She has worked for Mega Championship Wrestling, Cleveland All-Pro Wrestling, Ohio Championship Wrestling, Main Event World League, Women Superstars Uncensored, NCW Femmes Fatales, Combat Zone Wrestling, Shine Wrestling, Shimmer and many more.
Jessicka's finishing moves are The Demon Drop (Air Raid Crash), and the HavoKiller (Sitout Powerbomb)
Here is a really nice picture of one of my favorite female wrestlers, Magnificent Mimi (Mimi Lesseos) and her manager Johnathan Blue.
I think this is from when she was in the Ladies Professional Wrestling Association (LPWA).
Yeah it looks like I might be doing one of my lucha libre blogs here, but I'm not.
Five foot four, 130 pound masked female wrestler Jamilia Craft (Jenny Rose) was born right here in the USA.
Actually not too far from me in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
She was trained by Daizee Haze and Delirious (at the SHIMMER Wrestling Academy) and made her pro wrestling debut on January 24, 2010 against SHIMMER Champion MsChif.
Besides SHIMMER she has worked for wrestling promotions like the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), DWF, WXW, UWC, Ring of Honor, Action Packed Wrestling, Women Superstars Uncensored and more.
She's also been in the ring with wrestlers like her teacher Daizee Haze, Mercedes Martinez, Malia Hosaka, Sumie Sakai, Sara Del Rey, Mia Yim and others.

Jamilia Craft - Women of Wrestling, posted to http://womensprowrestling.blogspot.com/ on February 12th, 2011
One of the best Indy female wrestlers working today is Mercedes Martinez.
It's been a long while since I have done anything on this talented young lady, so let me fix that.
Mercedes was born on November 17th, 1980 in Waterbury, Connecticut.
"The Latina Sensation" was trained by Jason Knight and made her pro wrestling debut on November 12, 2000.
She has wrestled for tons of Indy wrestling promotions like Shimmer Women Athletes, World Xtreme Wrestling, Women Superstars Uncensored, Full Impact Pro, Defiant Pro Wrestling, Green Mountain Wrestling, Independent Wrestling Association Mid-South and many more.
Mercedes also wrestled a match for the WWE.
On June 12th, 2006, she took on Victoria on Sunday Night Heat.
And you may have seen her on Wrestlicious as the Bull Fighter "Maria Toro", managed by "Bandita."
Like I said earlier, Mercedes is one of the best, and you can tell that by looking at her list of wrestling moves...
Fisherman buster, The Chaos Theory, Brainbuster, 3 Amigas (2 Vertical supplexes and 1 German, Tribute to Eddie Guerrero), Multiple suplex variations including, German, Saito, Snap and Vertical, Snap swinging neckbreaker (sometimes delivered to an opponent hung on the top rope), Spinebuster, Butterfly Lock and an Avalanche Fisherman Buster that looks like it should cripple her opponent.
You know whats better than reading about these moves?
Seeing them.
Here is a video done by TheSuicidalDragon of "The Top Ten Moves of Mercedes Martinez"...
