This lovely young lady is female wrestler Taylor Made.
Taylor is from POWW Entertainment in Illinois, where I believe she is the Queen of POWW, a title she won on March 18th, 2011 in Fox Lake Illinois.
POWW may sound familiar to you because that's where another female wrestler I have profiled on here before, Melanie Cruise, came from.
And the ring name "Taylor Made" might sound familiar to some of you "old timers" out there, because that's the name that Terri Poch (also known as Tori and Terri Power) used back in 1988 when she debuted.
Besides POWW, this Taylor has also worked for wrestling promotions like 3XW Wrestling, Magnificent Ladies’ Wrestling, IWA Wrestling and Shimmer Womens Wrestling.
Taylor is five foot six, 120 pounds and made her pro wrestling debut in July of 2009.
Here is Taylor taking on Melanie Cruise at 3XW...

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.

Leva Bates is so cool.
I have seen pictures of her at comic book conventions, dressed up as superheroes and anime charcters.
She's like a female Indy wrestler version of the Hurricane, only better.
Leva is five foot two, 120 pounds and she's from Gotham City (?) Florida.
(Really she's from Madisonville, Kentucky)
She was trained by Team 3D Academy and made her pro wrestling debut in March 0f 2007 and has worked for a ton of wrestling promotions like SHIMMER, Full Impact Pro, Coastal Championship Wrestling, Pro Wrestling Fusion and World Xtreme Wrestling.
Though she was never on the TNA roster, she did show up on TNA during Awesome Kong’s $25,000 Challenge.
And here's the video from March 29th, 2008 of Leva taking on Kong...
There are a variety of ways you can keep up with Leva....

This beautiful young lady is independent female wrestler Athena.
Athena is from Garland Texas and was trained by the legendary Skandor Akbar.
She has worked for wrestling promotions like Anarchy Championship Wrestling, XCW Wrestling, Booker T's Pro Wrestling Alliance and Shimmer.
One of the most unfortunate things TNA has done recently is the Robbie E and Cookie thing.
Now I love Becky Bayless, and I am sure Rob Eckos is a fine wrestler, but why did TNA have to bring them in and turn them into "Jersey Shore" clones?
Really, this goes back to the old WWF, and not the cool fun part either.
I suppose this is TNA's way of trying to pull in the MTV fan base.
I'm guessing next will be a Sheldon and Leonard tag team ripping off Big Bang Theory (hey...it's popular!) and maybe a vampire/werewolf tag team to get the Twilight fan base.
The sad thing is that like I mentioned earlier, I really like Becky.
Most people think of her as a valet/announcer/interviewer, but she has gotten in quite a bit of ring time.
Back in 2008, Pro Wrestling Illustrated (PWI) ranked Becky as number 37 in the best 50 female singles wrestlers and she once held the Texas Wrestling Entertainment (TWE) Texas Ladies Championship.
She has worked (as a wrestler) for wrestling promotions Ring of Honor (ROH), Wrestling Superstars Unleashed (WSU), Women Superstars Uncensored and on Wrestlicious (as Brooke Lynn) she took part in the "Hoedown Throwdown" (sigh) twenty girl battle royal.
I don't see why TNA didn't just get Becky some wrestling gear and put her in the ring as a Knockout and not have to resort to this MTV ripoff stuff.
MTV and wrestling doesn't mix.
Remember Wrestling Society X?
One of the more embarrassing moments as JWoww From Jersey Shore faces off with Cookie on TNA iMPACT....
Even though I don't like Cookie, I still love me some Becky, and you can see her live on Saturday, December 18th at CWF Mid-Atlantic’s anniversary event “Battlecade XI”.
ArenaChicks will have her there for a special autograph andphotograph session.

One of the most popular female wrestlers on this blog is without a doubt, Aussie wrestler Sara Jay.
Here is a video from 2007 posted by CurtRVile of Sara taking on fellow Aussie Savannah Summers at Reanimated 07, an event put on by Australian wrestling promotion Riot City Wrestling.
Australian Female Wrestler Savannah Summers
Of course we have discussed Sara here before.
Her opponent Savannah Summers has worked with Riot City Wrestling since it began in 2006 and has taken on some ladies you might be familiar with like Jessie McKay, Madison Eagles and Kelly Skater among others.
In the comments at YouTube, CurtRVile apologizes for the shaky cam, explaining it was his first time filming an event inside the barricade.
Except for a few "Cloverfield moments", I think he did really well.
This five foot three 126 pound beauty is female wrestler December Matthews.
December is from Aspen, Colorado, and she, like another lady we are all familiar with, she has a cheerleader gimmick.
To be fairly new (actually she's been involved in wrestling for four years) , this young lady has certainly gotten around.
She's worked for wrestling promotions like Pro Championship Wrestling (PCW), Chicagoland Pro Wrestling (CLPW), DREAMWAVE Pro Wrestling, Vanguard Wrestling All-star Alliance (VWAA), WAR Pro Wrestling, GALLI Lucha Libre and New Breed Wrestling Alliance.
And December is popular enough that she came in at number one on the G.L.O.R.Y. Hot 100.
Besides that, she has held the PCW Women's Championship three times.
Indy female wrestler Mia Yim is getting a lot of attention.
She has worked for wrestling promotions like Jersey All Pro Wrestling, Vanguard Championship Wrestling, Supreme Pro Wrestling, American Championship Wrestling and Extreme Wresting Entertainment.
Mia was born on April 16th, 1989 in Southern California and was trained by CA Elliott, John Kermon, Mark Bravura and Christian York.
Besides wrestling, Mia is into tennis, track and field, swimming, she's played volleyball for seven years and she has a second degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
Female pro wrestler Jelena was born Shannon Freeman on July 18th, 1990.
That's right, 1990.
And this lovely young lady has already held a title belt.
She won the Southern State Championship Women's Wrestling title not once, but twice.
Besides SSCW, she has wrestled for Fighting Spirit Pro Wrestling, Extreme Wrestling Entertainment, Thunder Wrestling Fedaration, CCW, Independent Circut Wrestling Fedaration, Omega Pro Wrestling and RingDivas.
At her young age, I would say she's already off to a fantastic start.
Believe it or not, BEFORE wrestling, she was a pro barrel racer!
Since I do mainly Indy wrestlers on this blog I thought I'd check some of the Indy promotions to see which featured female wrestlers.
The first I ran across was IWA.
Now this led to a bit of confusion on my part.
I ran across two IWA wrestling sites and I'm not sure if they are related or not.
The first was http://www.iwawrestling.com/carnage%20tv.htm.
According to their roster, they have such Indy wrestlers as Jacqueline, Hailey Hatred, Heather, Helena Heavenly, Lady Victoria, Lexi Lane and Mary Elizabeth.
Then I found http://www.iwamidsouthwrestling.com/ . This one appears to be Independent Wrestling Association Mid-South.
They list Daizee Haze, Rebecca Payne, Rachel Summerlyn and Sara Del Rey as wrestlers.
But Wikipedia lists Mickie Knuckles, Daizee Haze, Sara Del Rey, Ariel and MsChif as having wrestled for them.
There is also a International Wrestling Association (IWA) in Puerto Rico.
So now I'm more confused than when I started.
If anyone could shed some light on who is who, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Height & Weight: 5' 8, 175lbs

Reggie Bennett is an American former female professional wrestler most known for her work in Joshi Puroresu organizations such as All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling. She was a power wrestler who usually wrestled as a heel and overpowered smaller opponents with moves such as the Reggie Rack and the Global Bomb.
She began her wrestling career in the independent Californian circuit in 1986. After making her pro debut, she was signed to the Ladies Professional Wrestling Association (LPWA) . Reggie participated in the LPWA Japan Title tournament during the February 23, 1992 pay-per-view LPWA Super Ladies Showdown losing by disqualification in the semi-final round.
Reggie signed with All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling in 1994 and competed there for several years. She faced Chigusa Nagayo at the Big Egg Wrestling Universe show at the Tokyo Dome on November 20, 1994. She won the IWA World Women's Championship on May 15, 1995, defeating Manami Toyota. At the time, Toyota also held the WWWA World Heavyweight Championship, the most prestigious title in Japanese women's wrestling, although that title was not on the line in that match. She lost the IWA belt later in 1995 to Takako Inoue. Bennett then went on to capture the All Pacific Championship by defeating Mariko Yoshida and then Kaoru Ito in a tournament on June 22, 1996, although she would again lose her title to Takako Inoue.
On April 12, 1997, Bennett was one of the featured speakers at a banquet honoring Terry Funk. The following night at ECW Barely Legal, she debuted as a member of Raven's Nest interfering with the ECW Heavyweight Championship match between Funk and Raven.
On November 14, 1997, Bennett joined ARSION, forming a monster heel stable of American wrestlers with newcomer Jessica Soto, who was billed as Reggie's younger sister Jessica Bennett. The duo was one of the featured teams in the Twinstar of Arsion tournament and video collection.
Bennett married the Japanese musician Kenji Ishihara in August 2000. Later that year she decided to retire from wrestling, fighting Manami Toyota in her farewell match on March 4, 2001. Following her retirement, her career was memorialized in the video release Reggie Bennett in Japan.
Bennett also had small roles in a number of films, first appearing in Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone (1983). She also had a cameo role in the Sylvester Stallone film Over the Top (1987).
Here's a video on YouTube posted by tgwrestler of Reggie taking on Candy Devine in the old LPWA women's wrestling promotion

Mitzi Mueller was one of the UK's first women wrestlers and her husband Brian Dixon is a wrestling promoter.
