Rebecca Knox Returns!

http://shimmerwrestling.blogspot.com/p/wrestlers.html

Rebecca Knox was my 300th post way back in February of 2008.
I said back then that she had suffered a potentially career threatening head injury during a match in Germany that took place on September 26th, 2006 and that no one had heard anything about her as of January 2008.
Well the Irish former pro wrestler has shown back up in the Shimmer Women Athletes wrestling promotion as the manager of Saraya and Britani Knight, who were the subjects of two of my most recent entries.
In an article in March of this year, the Chicago Sun-Times reported that Rebecca is taking acting lessons at Columbia College Chicago.

Here is a video posted by eharris1908 of an interview with Rebecca at the Shimmer Women Athletes DVD tapings (March 26-27, 2011) in Berwyn, Illinois.

Sweet Saraya - Saraya Knight - Julia Hamer

Last time I did female UK wrestler Britani Knight, so this time, it's only fitting that I write abit about her mother.
Julia Hamer (better known as Sweet Saraya or Saraya Knight) was born in 1971 in Halifax, West Yorkshire, England.
She's five foot seven, 126 pounds and was trained by her husband, "Rowdy" Ricky Knight.
She and Ricky have two children together and they are both wrestlers.
Britani (that I mentioned last time) and Zak Zodiak. Another son (I think he is a stepson) Zebra Kid also wrestles.

Since her wrestling debut back in 1992, she has held the Herts and Essex Women's Championship, the Queens of Chaos World Queens of Chaos Championship, the Premier Wrestling Federation Ladies Tag Team Championship (with Britani Knight), the Real Quality Wrestling Women's Championship, and the World Association of Wrestling British Championship.

Besides her own career in the ring, she has also helped train wrestlers like her daughter, Ashe, Kraft, Melodi and Scott Fusion.

Here is mother vs daughter, Sweet Saraya vs Britani Knight

Britani Knight - UK Female Wrestler

Female pro wrestler from the UK Britani Knight was born Saraya-Jade Bevis in 1991 in Norwich, England.
Now if you are really into wrestling, or you know British wrestling, the name "Saraya" will ring a bell.
Well that's because Britani's mother is British female grappler, Sweet Saraya.
Not only that, but her father is wrestler "Rowdy” Ricky Knight, and both her brothers Zebra Kid and Zak Zodiac are pro wrestlers.
Sounds almost like one of the lucha libre families doesn't it?

Britani was trained at the WAW Academy and made her pro wrestling debut in 2005.
She has worked for wrestling promotions all over Europe like RQW (Real Quality Wrestling), BCC (Be.Catch Company), WAW, DPW, RDW, NWF and many more.

On March 26th, 2011, Britani and her mother (now called Saraya Knight) made their debut here in the States wrestling for Shimmer Women Athletes.

During her career so far, Britani has held the Herts & Essex Wrestling (HEW) Women's Championship (twice), the Premier Wrestling Federation (PWF) Ladies Tag Team Championship (with Sweet Saraya), the Pro-Wrestling: EVE Championship, the Real Quality Wrestling (RQW) Women's Championship, and the World Association of Women's Wrestling (WAWW) British Ladies Tag Team Championship (once with Melodi).



Back in November of 2010, Britani had a tryout match with the WWE, but wasn't signed.

But on April 20th, 2011, she was signed by the WWE after her second try-out.

UPDATE: Maybe not.
Britani posted on her Facebook page: "Woahhh thanks the congratulations but i dont even know whats going on yet! Hopefully though guys fingers crossed!"
