http://luchawomen.blogspot.com/

Yes it's the final day of my 30 Days of Luchadora Sexy Star entries.
Since I started this thirty day countdown, she won the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship.
I wonder if I did Thirty Days of Faby Apache...would she win any more titles?
Anyway, here is the last picture, again from that Triple AAA photo shoot....

One more day left!
Wow...I thought I was out of things to say about Sexy Star yesterday.
Ummm...okay, her entrance theme is a song called "Sexy Movimiento" done by the Puerto Rican reggaeton duo Wisin and Yandel.
The song was so popular that it hit number one on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs, Latin Tropical Airplay and Latin Rhythm Airplay.

And here is a photo shoot with Sexy Star set to her entrance theme....

http://luchawomen.blogspot.com/

Here we are at day 27 with luchadora Sexy Star.
But before she was Sexy Star, she was Dulce Poly.
Dulce Poly debuted in Federacion Internacional de Lucha Libre (FILL) on August 29th, 2006.

Teamed up with one of her trainers, Humberto Garza, Jr., they won the FILL Mixed Tag Team Championship.
And Dulce Poly also won the FILL Women's Championship, defeating La Bruja on December 17th, 2006.
She lost the title to La Bandida on February 27, 2007 at Arena Coliseo Monterrey.

http://luchawomen.blogspot.com/

And here we are a day 25 with one of the best masked Mexican lady wrestlers today, Sexy Star.
You know it get's really hard towards the end of doing something like this to come up with fresh things to say instead of just rambling on and on.
Have I mentioned that her finishing move in wrestling is the Swinging Fisherman Suplex which is also called the swinging fisherman neckbreaker and the Golden Gate Swing?
Yeah I probably have.
Anyway...today's picture...

http://luchawomen.blogspot.com/

Here we are almost at the half-way point with the pictures of Triple AAA luchadora Sexy Star.
Although she has only wrestled for Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) and Federación Internacional de Lucha Libre (FILL), there have been consistant rumors that she might jump to CMLL (Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre).
But with her winning the title, I think that's unlikely for now.

As I mentioned yesterday, she defeated Pimpinela Escarlata (Scarlet Pimpernel) in a lumberjack match to win the belt for the second time.
Okay...so she won by hitting Escarlata in the back with a baseball bat covered in barbwire.
She is a rudo after all!

30 Days of Sexy Star - Day 1
http://luchawomen.blogspot.com/

I haven't done anything like this since I did a series of posts on Sarah stock/Dark Angel/Sarita back in 2008 on my Luchadoras blog.
But since Triple AAA luchadora Sexy Star is so popular, I thought why not devote a whole month to just her.
Just a little background info on her first just to get things started...

Dulce Maria García Rivas was born on September 20th, 1982 in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico.
She was trained by luchadors Humberto Garza Jr., Mr. Lince, Gran Apache and the late Abismo Negro and made her Lucha Libre debut on August 29th, 2006 at the Arena Coliseo De Monterrey wrestling as Dulce Poly.
Star is five foot three and weighs 126 pounds.
She is the first (and as far as I know only) female Mexican member of La Legión Extranjera, a group which is usually comprised of foreign heels.
So far during her career she has held the Federacion Internacional de Lucha Libre (FILL) Women's Championship, the FILL Mixed Tag Team Championship (with Humberto Garza Jr.) and the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship.

In 2010 Sexy Star went to Tampa and tried out for the WWE through FCW.
The tryout did not go well and Johnny Laurinitis said her English was bad (okay maybe) she wasn't a good wrestler (see titles above), she was overweight (huh?) and she wasn't pretty enough without her mask on.
"Wasn't pretty enough"?
Okay, bear in mind this is coming from the same guy that hired Kelly because he saw her in swimsuit magazine.
And I'll wager Sexy could wrestle rings around 90% of the WWE Divas.

AAA Reina de Reinas Championship Update

2011-11-23T13:28:00.001-05:00

AAA Reina de Reinas Championship Update
http://luchawomen.blogspot.com/

The last time I did a write up on the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship was way back in December of 2008.
The title has changed hands a few times since then, so here is an update.
To start out though, the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship is the AAA equivalent of the CMLL World Women's Championship.
Although the Reina de Reinas Championship belt is decided in a tournament easch year, the belt is still defended throughout the reign by the champion.

Since my last write up in 2008, luchadora Sexy Star won the title on September 26th, 2009 in Monterey, Mexico at Heroes Inmortales III.
She held the belt for a total of 322 days.

Next up, Mari Apache won the belt on August 14th, 2010 in Orizaba, Veracruz, Mexico at Verano de Escándalo in a six person tag team match.
This match was unusual for the Reina de Reinas Championship as in it was one...a tag team match and two...it was Alex Koslov and Christina Von Eerie facing Mari Apache, Faby Apache and Aero Star.
Not only was the Reina de Reinas Championship on the line, but the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championship as well.
Mari held the belt for 351 days.

Now for the current champion, who won in a match that would make the WWE proud.
The current champion is Pimpinela Escarlata, an Exotico.
Yes...a man is the Reina de Reinas Champion.
Shades of Santina Marella and WrestleMania XXV!
He won the title in an eight-way elimination match with Cynthia Moreno, Faby Apache, Jennifer Blake, Lolita, Mickie James and Sexy Star on July 31st, 2011 in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico at Verano de Escándalo.
He has held the belt for 113 plus days.

Really I'm not happy about that.
Basically because I go around telling people how much better Lucha Libre treats their female performers, then they pull a stunt like this.
Having a man hold the belt does to the title what having Hervina win the WWE Women's Championship did.
But to the WWE's credit they only had Hervina hold the belt one day...not a hundred plus.

Here is the match posted by WarriorsX2000PPV.
The Reina de Reinas part starts about 5:00 in.

As much as I didn't like the outcome, I have to admit, Sexy Star and Mickie James make a heck of a team.

Dalis La Caribena - CMLL

2011-11-11T12:24:00.001-05:00

Dalis La Caribena - CMLL
http://luchawomen.blogspot.com/

Over at my other Luchadora blog I did a write up on Dalis La Caribeña back in April of this year.
But she seems to be picking up a bit in popularity so I thought I would include her here.
Well, that and I'm thinking about making this blog more CMLL oriented.

Anyway, Dalis La Caribena is the wife of luchador Negro Casas which makes her the sister-in-law of Felino and Heavy Metal, the daughter-in-law of Pepe Casas, the sister-in-law of Princesa Blanca and the aunt of both Tiger Kid and Puma King.
She is also the sister of Veneno.
Who says Lucha Libre isn't a family based business?

Dalis was born in Panama and was trained by her husband Negro Casas.
Although before that, she had an extensive Kickboxing background.
She made her lucha libre debut on October 6th, 2009 at the Arena Mexico in Mexico City.

You can check out Dalis at her Facebook page here.

Alison Evans - Chilean Luchadora

2011-10-09T09:14:00.000-05:00

Alison Evans - Chilean Luchadora
http://luchawomen.blogspot.com/

This is Luchadora Alison Evans.
Alison is a little different from some of the other luchadoras here because she is from Chile.
And we have the same birthday, January 29th.
Alison was trained by Chilean wrestlers Montoya and Atemista and made her wrestling debut on April 16th 2006.

She is five feet, two inches tall, weighs 143 pounds and her nickname is "La niña bonita de la lucha libre chilena" (The nice girl of Chilean wrestling).
Her signature wrestling moves are the Chiwi Plancha, Floppy Slam and the Moonsault.
She works for the wrestling promotion XNL (La Lucha Libre Chilena).

You can check out XNL's Facebook page here.

Luchadoras Rule at TripleMania XIX

2011-09-28T10:41:00.000-05:00

Yeah I know I'm kinda late getting around to it, (3 months) but on June 18th, 2011 at the Palacio de los Deportes ("Sports Palace") in Mexico City, Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) held TripleMania XIX.
The significance of this is that unlike the WWE's WrestleMania, AAA's TripleManía actually had a good women's match.
At WrestleMania XXVII we had "Snooki" (from Jersey Shore), Trish Stratus, and John Morrison taking on Dolph Ziggler and LayCool, with Vickie Guerrero.
Yay.
At TripleMania XIX, we got to see Sexy Star team up with TNA Knockouts Angelina Love, Velvet Sky and the then TNA Women's Knockout Champion Mickie James.
Sexy Star, Angelina Love, Velvet Sky and Mickie James all on one team?
Yes.
They took on Cynthia Moreno, Faby Apache, Lolita and the then AAA Reina de Reinas Champion Mari Apache.
So you had arguably six of the hottest women in wrestling and two world champions in one women's match.
As opposed to a reality star (?), a retired wrestler, two guys and the WWE version of The Beautiful People.
And where the WWE match went on a grueling three minutes and seventeen seconds, the AAA match was eleven minutes and four seconds.
See why I like Lucha Libre?

Anyway, the La Legión Extranjera team (Sexy Star, Angelina, Velvet and Mickie) won when Mickie gave Faby Apache the Long Kiss Goodnight and the Mickie–DT.
To me, the best part was seeing the good old "psycho/heel" Mickie James wrestling Faby.

And in case you missed it, here is the full match posted by jsoxtras on YouTube...

Nanyzh Rock - Heavy Metal's Valet

2011-09-03T11:03:00.000-05:00

This lovely young lady is Nanyzh Rock.
So far, Nanyzh has only been the valet of luchador Heavy Metal.
However, at Verano de Escándalo on July 31st, 2011 at the Plaza Nuevo Progreso in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, during the match between Samoa Joe, Silver King and Ultimo Gladiador versus Drago, Electroshock and Heavy Metal, Nanyzh and Jennifer Blake (the valet of La Sociedad) went at each other.
So you never know, she may just wind up in the ring.

Here is the best video I could find of here so far.
Acting in her usual role as valet to Heavy Metal.
(Jump to about 1:00 in)

Lolita - Luchadoras AAA

2011-06-11T05:07:00.001-05:00

Beautiful luchadora Lolita made her debut on the Mexican Indy wrestling scene in 2008.
Lolita was born on December 28th, 1990, in Mexico City, Mexico.

She made her lucha libre debut in 2008, in San Luis Potosi and has worked for several different wrestling promotions like IWRG (Grupo Internacional Revolucion), Desastre Total Ultraviolento (DTU) and Perros del Mal (PdM).
But on February 19th, 2011, she hit the big time, making her debut appearance in Asistencia Asesoria y Administracion (AAA).
Lolita was trained by El Cirujano, Gran Apache, Faby Apache and Mary Apache. This is no small thing as Gran Apache is considered to be one of the best trainers in all of Mexico and he was one of the first luchadors to train women.
She started out masked under the ring name "El Angel".

Oyuki - Io Shirai - Lucha Libre AAA

2011-03-12T13:52:00.000-05:00

A while back I did a write up on joshi puroresu wrestler turned masked luchadora Mio Shirai, or Kitzune Nanoko.
In that entry I mentioned her sister Io Shirai who was wrestling under the name Biba Kasa at the time.
Well here is a little more on Io, who I think now is being called Oyuki in the Mexican wrestling promotion, AAA.
Io of course is one half of the tag team Sexy Purple Thunder Sisters along with her sister.
Although Oyuki is still in the AAA photo gallery, she doesnt have an entry on the AAA roster.

Lluvia

2011-01-10T20:47:00.004-05:00

This is masked luchadora Lluvia.
We don't know her real name, but we know she was born on August 9th, 1984 in Distrito Federal.
We also know that her father is Sangre Chicana, her brother is Sangre Chicana Jr. and her uncle is Herodes.
She was trained by luchadors Satánico and Último Guerrero, and made her wrestling debut on April 30th, 2008.
Lluvia is five foot three and weighs in at 132 pounds and I believe she wrestles for CMLL.

Lluvia, posted to http://luchawomen.blogspot.com/ on January 11th, 2011

Kitzune Nanoko - Lucha Libre AAA

2010-11-09T17:14:00.004-05:00

This is masked luchadora Kitzune Nanoko.
If you look very closely, you may recognize her as joshi puroresu wrestler Mio Shirai, who was one half of the tag team Sexy Purple Thunder Sisters (possibly the coolest tag team name ever in womens wrestling) along with her younger sister Io Shirai.

In September of this year, Mio showed up as Kitzune Nanoko in Mexico wrestling for Grupo Internacional Revolucion (IWRG).
In IWRG she teamed up with Biba Kasa, who was none other than her sister Io.
Then, she showed up in Asistencia Asesoria y Administracion (AAA) teaming up with Alissa Flash (Cheerleader Melissa) to take on and defeat Cinthia and Esther Moreno.

In Japan, Mio used wrestling and MMA style moves in the ring, and was known for being "stiff".
I'm wondering if Kitzune Nanoko and Biba Kasa might wind up being a force in AAA.

Elizabeth Wrestling Afrodita - Colombian Wrestling Superstars

2010-10-05T20:17:00.005-05:00

Here is something a little different.
Okay...a LOT different than what we usually have here.
It's Lucha Libre, with Luchadoras...but it's from Colombia.

This is Primer Campeonato Internacional de Lucha X-treme CWS and it's a match between Elizabeth (from Bolivia) and Afrodita (from Peru) posted by JOHANMAEM2006 on YouTube.

You may notice that Elizabeth is a cholita, luchadoras that don't wear the usual wrestling attire, but the traditional dress of the Aimara women, skirts, pompoms, bowler hats, shawls and sometimes wrestle barefoot.
She weighs 154 pounds and stands 5 foot 3 inches tall.

Afrodita is wearing what looks like classic "old school" lucha libre wrestling gear.
She could have stepped right out of the sixties.

You can check out the Colombian Wrestling Superstars wrestling promotion here:

Faby Apache and Aerostar Wrestling Alex Koslov and Christina Von Eerie

2010-09-06T08:21:00.006-05:00

Christina Von Eerie

This match is a little different.
It's Faby Apache and Aerostar taking on Alex Koslov and Christina Von Eerie in a mixed tag-team match in Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA).

Faby Apache

The match is also for the mixed tag team championship.
This match was posted by TheCatchChannel on YouTube.

Of course in Lucha Libre, a mixed match isn't a one-sided joke like it is in the WWE here.
The women get and give just as good as the men do.

Alex Koslov quickly learns this as Faby takes him down right off the bat.

And in a moment, she has a leg lock submission hold clamped on.

Several quick exchanges, reversals, and lighting fast lucha libre moves later, it looks like Faby and Aerostar have everything under control.

But Alex catches Faby with a forearm and the tide of the battle changes.
Then Aerostar gets double-teamed, then Faby, then everyone is in (and outside) the ring.

It's a decent match, I would have liked to seen Christina Von Eerie and Faby mix it up more, but hey, you can't have everything.

April Hunter vs La Tigresa - IWA

2010-07-17T12:08:00.005-05:00

I haven't done anything about April Hunter in awhile.
April was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and wrestled a lot here in the States, but she still has quite a following in Mexico from the time she spent working for various wrestling promotions there.

Besides making her mark in Mexico, she has also wrestled in Puerto Rico, for the wrestling promotion International Wrestling Association (IWA).
I've mentioned IWA here a few times before, but it's been a pretty good while.

The IWA was actually started in Japan by promoter Victor Quiñones in 1994.
In 1999, the Hispanic version was created and up until 2001, IWA was a member of the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA).
From 1999 to 2001, it was also a a WWE Developmental territory.

Anyway, here is a match from IWA's Juicio Final 4 back in 2004, with April taking on a Puerto Rican wrestler, La Tigresa.

Now normally April has the weight advantage on her opponents, because she is a big, powerful lady, but not this time.

La Tigresa enters the wrestling ring first, followed by April (accompanied by someone in an evening gown?).
April gets into the ring and La Tigresa wastes no time, going after April before the bell.

Some right hands and kicks from La Tigresa, then she throws April into the ropes giving April a chance to reverse and come back with with a flip and a clothesline that sends La Tigresa out of the ring and looking for cover.

La Tigresa starts pointing and yelling at whoever that is outside the ring, which gives April a chance to hit her with a baseball slide, and hammer away at La Tigresa outside the ring.

Once back in the ring, La Tigresa gets the upper hand again and whips out the heel playbook, using eye gouges, hair pulling, biting and a modified camel clutch complete with mouth ripping and face clawing.

And that's only about half the match!

2010-06-24T10:22:00.001-05:00

Hija De Karonte (the daughter of famous luchador Karonte) was born on April 12, 1980 in Monterrey, Mexico.
She was trained by her father, and made her Lucha Libre debut on August 23, 2008 in Deportivo La Alianza, Monterrey.
Hija De Karonte wrestles for the Lucha Libre Unida (LLU) and the Lucha Libre Femenil (LLF) wrestling promotions in Mexico.
Her finishing move is called the Cangrejo, which looks like a boston crab, but also looks more to me like Chris Jericho's old Liontamer, kind of an elevated boston crab.
Her nickname is Princesa de las Tinieblas (Princess of the Dark).

Hija De Karonte has her own Facebook page (kinda unusual for luchadoras) that you can visit here:

Luchadoras in La Legión Extranjera (the Foreign Legion)

2010-05-20T12:40:00.012-05:00

In the Mexican wrestling promotion, Asistencia, Asesoría y Administración (AAA), there is a stable of wrestlers called La Legión Extranjera (the Foreign Legion) led by Konnan.
The membership of La Legión Extranjera rotates and changes frequently, and it's basically made up of foreign wrestlers wrestling in Mexico as heels.
Most of the membership is male, but there have been quite a few North American female wrestlers that have gone down there and competed as Luchadoras.
Some have been semi-regulars, while some have only made one or two appearances with the stable.
Interestingly, most of these ladies came from TNA and/or Shimmer.

So here are some of the female wrestlers that you may know from up here, that have at one time or another been members of La Legión Extranjera.

Rain
Rain (Bonnie Maxon) made her debut for Asistencia, Asesoría y Administración (AAA) as a member of La Legión Extranjera in 2009.
She regularly teams with Jennifer Blake (or Jennifer Blade) there.

Nicole - Roxxi
Roxxi (Nicole Raczynski) also made her debut in La Legión Extranjera in 2009.
Though she was advertised as a member of the stable, as far as I can tell she only made one appearance.

Goddess
Masked luchadora Goddess (Canadian wrestler Aurora) also only made one appearance with La Legión Extranjera.

Angel Williams
Angel Williams (Lauren Williams or better known by her fans up here as Angelina Love) appeared in La Legión Extranjera in 2007 as Canadian Angel.

Christy Hemme
TNA Knockout Christy Hemme did at least one show in AAA as a guest member of La Legión Extranjera.

Traci Brooks
Former TNA Knockout Traci Brooks was also a guest member of La Legión Extranjera.

Lorelei Lee
Wrestlicious' Tyler Texas (Lorelei Lee) appeared with Jennifer Blade at AAA's Heroes Inmortales 3 in Monterrey.
Konnan, Jennifer and Lorelei interfered in the Luchas de Apuestas (hair vs. hair match) match between Chessman and Electroshock.

Jennifer Blake
Jennifer Blake (Girl Dynamite or Jennifer Blade) regularly teams with Rain in La Legión Extranjera.

Ayako Hamada
TNA Knockout Ayako Hamada made some appearances in 2007 and 2008 with La Legión Extranjera.
Oddly, she was cast as a foreigner, but Ayako was born in Mexico City.

Christina Von Eerie
Christina Von Eerie made her debut as a member of La Legión Extranjera at the Rey de Reyes show in March 2010.

Tiana Ringer
Tiana Ringer made a guest apparance in La Legión Extranjera when she teamed up with Traci Brooks at the TNA Vs AAA event and defeated Estrellita and Tiffany.

Luchadora Goya

2010-04-29T10:57:00.004-05:00

This young lady is a relatively new Luchadora, Goya.
Goya (Sahari Alvarado Nava) was born on May 4, 1987 and like many other lucha libre stars, she has a huge wrestling family.
She is part of the Brazo Family, that makes the Von Erichs and Harts here look like a small time operation.
Goya is the daughter of luchador Brazo de Plata, also known as José Luis Alvarado Nieves, or maybe better known here in the US from his time in the WWE as Super Porky.
That makes her the granddaughter of the legendary Shadito Cruz, the neice of El Brazo, Robin Hood, Super Brazo and Brazo de Platino.
That also makes her related to Maximo, La Mascara, Psycho Clown, Danah, Muñeca de Plata, Brazo de Plata Jr. II, Brazo Metalico, El Brazo Jr. and Super Brazo Jr.
AND her uncle Brazo de Oro was once married to Lady Apache, and her brother Maximo is married to India Sioux.
See?
I've said it before...I bet their family reunions are a blast!

Anyway, Goya was trained by El Hijo Del Gladiador, and made her pro wrestling debut on December 8, 2007.
She debuted with Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) under the ring name, Goya Kong, but she has also wrestled in Mexico for Asistencia, Asesoría y Administración (AAA) and independent promotions.

Luchadora - Dark Unicorn

2010-04-09T11:20:00.006-05:00

You know I kept wanting to do a write up on luchadora Dark Unicorn, but I couldn't find any info on her.
Then this morning I'm at Luchawiki looking around, I check her profile and guess what?

I find out that I already did a write up on her, because Dark Unicorn is American Indy female wrestler, Hailey Hatred!
See, this is why I keep telling people to go to Luchawiki!
It seems Hailey has been wrestling for LLF down there as Dark Unicorn on and off since 2009, and recently made an appearance for AAA as Hailey.

Dark Unicorn (or Hailey Hatred) was born on November 4th, 1983 in Columbus, Ohio.
She was trained by Cody Hawk, Matt Stryker, Race Steele and Jimmy Yang and made her wrestling debut in July of 2002.
She has wrestled for a ton of wrestling promotions including ChickFight, Insanity Pro Wrestling, Women Superstars Uncensored, CHIKARA, Southern Wrestling Alliance, Midwest Regional Wrestling, Far North Wrestling and Cleveland All-Pro Wrestling.

And now of course Lucha Libre Femenil (LLF) and Asistencia Asesoria y Administracion (AAA) in Mexico.

Here is a video posted by TheCatchChannel of Dark Unicorn taking on Hija De Karonte at Arena Coliseo Monterrey.

And if you want to keep up with her, you can check out Hailey's MySpace page:

Luchadora Christina Von Eerie

2010-03-27T12:31:00.006-05:00

Christina Von Eerie has wrestled for wrestling promotions all over the west coast with companies like PWR ChickFight (Pro Wrestling Revolution, PWG (Pro Wrestling Guerrilla), XPW (Xtreme Pro Wrestling) and PCW (Pro Championship Wrestling) but now she is using her wrestling skills in Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) in Mexico.

She made her debut for them on March 12th, 2010 at the Rey de Reyes show in Queretaro in a three way battle in which she teamed up with Sexi Star and Rain to take on Faby Apache, Mary Apache and Cinthia Moreno.
Christina's team didnt win (Moreno pinned Sexi Star), but I think this young lady has a bright future ahead of her.
She's got the look, the body of a fitness model and the skills to take her a long way in this business.

Christina was trained by The Big Ugly, Danny Secretion, Bao Nguyen and Sir Samurai, and made her pro wrestling debut back in 2006.
She got a lot of internet buzz when she was announced as the opponent for former WWE Diva Lena Yada's Indy wrestling debut at the Pro Wrestling Revolution's show on June 6, 2009 in San Francisco.

Here are a couple of shots from the match....

And here is the full match, posted by MissDaniGermany on Daily Motion:

More of Luchadora Diana La Cazadora

2010-03-14T11:50:00.007-05:00

I haven't done anything on the beautiful luchadora Diana La Cazadora in quite awhile, so here are some more pictures of this lovely female wrestler.
Diana La Cazadora was born on born January 16, 1978 Ciudad Madero, Tamaulipas, Mexico.
She was trained by luchadors Carnicero Aguilar and Centurion Negro, and made her pro wrestling debut on August 24, 1997.
Diana has worked for wrestling promotions in Mexico like Lucha Libre Femenil Junior Championship (LLF), Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) and The World Wrestling Council (WWC).

During her career, she has held the Lucha Libre Femenil Junior Championship, the LLF Tag Team Championship with Nikki Roxx, and the Monterrey Woman's Wrestling Championship.

Despite having a powerful build (that for some reason reminds me a lot of Princesa Sujei) most of the pictures you see of Diana are of her being punished by larger luchadoras.
So here are some pics of Diana being crushed, squeezed, stretched and generally man-handled by La Chacala, La Brujah, Felina, Tigresa and more....

And here is a video posted by luchadorasnet on YouTube of Diana once again taking on a much larger foe.

Luchadora Martha Villalobos

2010-01-17T15:36:00.003-05:00

Martha Villalobos continues to be very popular here on this blog, so I thought I'd throw up some videos I have found online of this famous Luchadora wrestling.
Did you know that Martha once held the Mexican National Women's Championship for 1,399 consecutive days?

First up is a video of Martha taking on another popular luchadora, Lola Gonzalez.
This was posted by renesilvacuevas.

Next up, is a video also posted by herbert43 of a six-woman tag-team match from 1993.
This one is Martha, Tania and La Diabolica taking on Lola Gonzalez, Lady Apache and Xochitl Hamada.
Embedding was disabled, but you can see the match here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vk6-ZL17Sew

Here is a really short video with Martha savaging La Rosa, posted by Torgaman.

And finally, here is a video of Martha and Black Cat taking on Rossy Moreno and Jaivos Jr. posted by LaredoPromotions...

La Diabolica and Cynthia Moreno Versus Faby Apache and Mary Apache

2009-12-29T11:33:00.001-05:00

Here is a video of luchadoras La Diabolica and Cinthia Moreno taking on the sister team of Faby Apache and Mary Apache in a match for the Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) wrestling promotion in Mexico.
This video was posted by TheCatchChannel on YouTube.
If you haven't checked out the Catch Channel yet, you should, because he has a lot of very good Lucha Libre video posted there.

One thing that makes this match so cool to me is that it's done in an outside venue, which is a big change from what you see here in the WWE and TNA.

And of course we have some interference from Billy Boy, that's thwarted by Aerostar.
But unlike wrestling here, just because their male counterparts get involved, the match doesn't end, and the focus doesn't shift to them.
The focus stays on the ladies wrestling.

And you have to look at the caliber of performer that you are seeing in the wrestling ring.
La Diabolica made her Lucha Libre debut back in 1986, Cinthia Moreno has been wrestling since 1987, Faby Apache debuted in 1998 and Mary Apache started her Lucha Libre career in 2000.
So Mary is the least experienced woman in the ring...with only nine years wrestling experience!
Compare that to a lot of the WWE Divas or TNA Knockouts.

Anyway, here is the match....

And like I said, if you like Lucha Libre, be sure to check out The Catch Channel for more.

More Luchadoras on YouTube

2009-12-07T21:28:00.001-05:00

Here is a video posted on YouTube by newscott of luchadoras Dark Angel (Sarah Stock), Marcela and Lluvia wrestling Princesa Sugey, Hiroka and Rosa Negra in CMLL.
This is just part one, and it runs ten minutes.
And I'm not even gonna bore you with asking when was the last ten minute WWE Diva match you saw.

Anyway, the action is very fast paced, and the Rudas (heels) really dominate the technicas in the first round.
But the technicas come back in the second round after Marcela catches fire and clears house.
To see the rest of this video and more like it, check out newscott's YouTube Channel here:

Luchadoras on YouTube

2009-11-28T15:43:00.004-05:00

It's not as easy to find good quality Luchadora wrestling videos as it is Japanese female wrestling.
But there are quite a few videos out there.
It seems that the most popular are clips posted by luchadorasnet (http://www.youtube.com/user/luchadorasnet) on YouTube.
The only problem is, that the videos posted are a year to three years old.

Here is one of American Angel (Sara Del Rey) taking on X-Stasis in the LLF...

And here is a video posted by herbert43 (http://www.youtube.com/user/herbert43) of La Sirenita wrestling Gatu Vera back in 1988 in the Wild West Wrestling promotion in Texas.

Here is part one of a two part video of Dark Angel, Marcela, Lady Apache wrestling Princesa Sujey, Amapola and Medusa posted by newscott (http://www.youtube.com/user/newscott) on YouTube.

And even though this is lucha libre and not Joshi, I couldnt leave out DoubleMiz (http://www.youtube.com/user/DoubleMiz).
Here is part one of Ayako Hamada taking on Fabi Apache in AAA.

Ayako Hamada, Fabi Apache and Angel Williams Versus Sexy Star, Estrellita and Cinthia Moreno

2009-11-06T12:59:00.007-05:00

Usually when you see the name DoubleMiz it's associated with my Joshi blog, but here is a Lucha Libre video she posted of Ayako Hamada, Fabi Apache and Angel Williams (Angelina Love) taking on Sexy Star, Estrellita and Cinthia Moreno in a match for the Mexican wrestling promotion Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) in Mexico.
This is a three part video and the actual match length is about thirty minutes.
When's the last time you saw a thirty minute female wrestling match in the WWE or TNA?
Luchador Konnan, who you may remember from WCW and TNA, introduces "his team" Ayako Hamada, Fabi Apache and Angel Williams as "real wrestlers" from Japan and the USA.
But Ayako and Fabi were both born in Mexico City, Mexico and Angel was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Heck, Konnan himself was born in Santiago de Cuba, Cuba.
Well I guess he could have went for "international wrestlers" here....

Anyway, it's a really good match, and if you like womens wrestling videos, you really should think about subscribing to Double Miz's channel:

And here are some screenshots from the match, but to really get the feel, you need to go check out the whole video here:

The Lack of Luchadoras

2009-09-24T15:43:00.002-05:00

Despite Sarita (Dark Angel, Sarah Stock) having a really good time in TNA (she and Taylor Wilde are the TNA Knockout Tag Team Champions) it doesn't look like the luchadoras in Mexico are getting much of a push.
I was really hoping that Sarita would stir a little more interest in the female wrestlers of Lucha Libre.
But looking back at the major Mexican promotions so far this year, that doesn't to have seemed to happened.

Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA), held their Rey de Reyes (King of Kings) tournament back on March 15, 2009.
The AAA Reina de Reinas (Queen of Queens) tournament is usually held around the same time, but so far, they haven't had one yet.
The last one was on May 28, 2008 and was won by Faby Apache.

At AAA's Triplemania XVII, there were no luchadoras matches, although Billy Boy, Sexy Star, Polvo de Estrellas, and Mini Abismo Negro took on El Elegido, Faby Apache, Pimpinela Escarlata, and Octagoncito in an Eight Person "Atómicos" Tag Team match and won.

At Verano de Escandalo on August 21, 2009, again there was no luchadora match, but Fabi Apache, Sexy Star, Billy Boy and Aero Star were all involved in a Luchas de Apuestas, Steel Cage "hair/mask" match which Billy Boy lost.

At Heroes Inmortales III, Faby Apache will defend her Reina de Reinas Championship against Sexy Star in a "Bull Terrier" match.

Over at Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) the luchadoras didn't fair much better.

At Homenaje a Dos Leyendas on March 20, 2009, there were no luchadoras.

Infierno en del Ring 2009 on July 31, 2009 no luchadoras.

BUT, at the CMLL 76th Anniversary Show held on September 18, 2009 in Arena Mexico, Mexico City, amazingly Dark Angel herself showed up and teamed with Lady Apache to take on and defeat La Amapola and Hiroka in a tag team match.

The Top Ten Luchadoras for August 2009

2009-09-15T10:31:00.010-05:00

The most searched for luchadoras in August came out a little different than July.
One female wrestler topped everyone else by quite a bit.....

1. Sexy Star (Sexi Star, Dulce Poly)
Luchadora Sexi Star didnt just show up once, but eleven times under different variations of her name, leading me to believe this young lady is still very popular.
Dulce Maria Garcia Rivas was number two last month.
Heres a kinda funny clip from YouTube of Estrellita and Sexy Star dancing with (I think) Martha Villalobos and Tsunami looking on...until Martha jumps in....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fq4fKw_dgsE

2. Esther Moreno
Veteran luchadora Esther Moreno jumped all the way from eight last month up to two this month.
You have to give Esther credit, she's been wrestling since March 18th, 1984.
How many female wrestlers here keep going into their forties?

3. Martha Villalobos
Another veteran female Mexican wrestler, Martha Villalobos was number one last month, but dropped down to number three this month.
Martha turned 47 this year.

4. Miss Janeth
Everyone seems to like the old school Lucha Libre wrestlers, as yet another veteran Miss Janeth came in at number four, up from number five last month.

5. India Sioux
The lovely (and possibly retired) India Sioux jumped all the way from ten last month to five this month.

6. La Chacala
La Chacala staying on with the Lucha Libre veterans, the consummate heel La Chacala wasn't on the list last month, but came in at six this month.

7. Tiffany
Another luchadora that didn't rank last month, Tiffany, came in at number seven.

8. Irma Aguilar
If Lucha libre has a hall of fame, this lady should be in it. Irma dropped one this month coming in at eight.

9. Marcela
Popular luchadora Marcela dropped from three last month down to nine this month.

10. Pantera Surena
And this really surprised me as another old school lucha libre star Pantera Surena came in at number ten this month.

So there are the top ten luchadoras on this blog for August 2009.

More Sarita TNA Updates

2009-09-08T11:07:00.002-05:00

On Hermie's Hotseat, NASCAR's Hermie Sadler interviewed Sarita, who we know of course as luchadora Sarah Stock or Dark Angel.

Taylor Wilde was teamed with Sarita in the TNA Knockout Tag Team Title Tournament.
I was hoping they would pair Sarita and Hamada, but Taylor and Sarita seem to work well together.

With Angelina Love out of TNA, their top spot is open.
We can only hope.....

BTW, in case I havent mentioned it, there is a Sarita Facebook Fan Club that you can join here:
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=6819873869

Luchadora India Sioux Tribute

2009-09-02T12:18:00.005-05:00

Since Luchadora India Sioux may not grace the wrestling ring again, I thought I would do a short tribute to this lovely young lady.
(BTW, in case you didn't hear, nothing bad happened to her. The Cubs Fan has reported that she had a baby and probably won't be returning to the ring)

India Sioux was born on September 20, 1984, in Nezahualcoyotl, Mexico.
She comes from a big wrestling family.
REALLY big!
Her father is Hombre Bala, her mother is the original India Sioux, her brothers are Hombre Bala Jr. and Corsario, her uncles are La Marquesa, Pirata Morgan and Verdugo. Her cousins are Perla Negra, Pirata Morgan Jr. and Rey Bucanero.
She was trained by Puma her uncle La Marquesa, José Luis Feliciano and her father Hombre Bala.
India made her Lucha Libre debut in April of 2004 at the Chimaluacan, Estado De Mexico.

The Top Ten Most Searched for Luchadoras in July

2009-08-19T13:05:00.001-05:00

The top ten most searched for luchadoras on this blog last month was another surprise.
Each month the list changes drastically and it looks like last month, the "Old School" dominated....

1. Martha Villalobos
Old School ruda Martha Villalobos topped the list last month after slowly working her way the the other female lucha libre stars over the months.
"La Diva" seems to still be very popular with Lucha Libre fans.

2. Sexy Star (Sexi Star, Dulce Poly)
Sexy Star is almost always in the top ten of the lucha women.
Maybe it's that dance she does when she gets in the ring.

3. Marcela
I just did a write up on Marcela over at my other luchadora blog because she was so popular.
It looks like she is here as well.

4. Miss Janeth
Another old school heel that is still very popular.
Remember, it's pronounced Jeanette, not Janet.

5. Diana la Cazadora
The lovely CMLL tecnica came in fifth last month.

6. Irma Gonzalez
7. Irma Aguilar
Another blast from the past as Irma Gonzalez and her old tag team partner Irma Aguilar came in six and seven.

8. Esther Moreno
People don't seem to be able to get enough of the classics.

9. Chikako Shiratori
The lovely Chikako Shiratori held the CMLL Japan Women's Womens Wrestling Championship twice

10. India Sioux
India Sioux may be one of the most attractive luchadoras, but according to what The Cubs Fan told me, she is a new mother and may have said good-bye to Lucha Libre.

Sarita in TNA, Updates

2009-08-11T11:13:00.000-05:00

Sarita (or Sarah Stock/Dark Angel as we know her best) finally has a profile page up at TNA.com.
Not a lot there, just a few action shots and some posed ones.
I checked ShopTNA.com and didn't see any merchandise yet.
Oddly enough though they still have Gail Kim, Karen Angle and Roxxi Laveaux stuff and none of them are still with the company.

In case you missed it, here is the end of Sarita's debut match on TNA against Alissa Flash (Cheerleader Melissa).

Now how cool would a Sarita / Alissa Flash feud be?

Luchadoras Maria Del Angel, Martha Villalobos and Tania

2009-08-05T11:12:00.001-05:00

Here is a picture I found on the Box y Lucha forum posted by hugo999 back in 2007 of luchadoras Maria Del Angel, Martha Villalobos and Tania.
This is back in the "old school" days of Lucha Libre.

Martha went on to hold the AAA Reina de Reinas twice, the Mexican National Women's Wrestling Championship, the Mexican National Women's Tag Team Championship with Pantera Surena, the Northern Mexico Women's Championship, the Mexico State Women's Champion and the FILL Women's Championship.

Although I cant find where Maria held any titles, like a lot of other lucha libre stars, her family was deep into wrestling.
Her husband was luchador Bestia Salvaje (Wild Beast), her brother-in-law was Azazel (Corazón Salvaje) and her brother was Charrito de Oro.

Tania went on to hold the NWG Intercontinental Women's Wrestling Title and the Hidalgo State Women's Wrestling Championship.

Luchadora Roster for Asistencia Asesoría y Administración

Faby Apache
Reina de Reinas 2008

Mary Apache

La Diabolica

Estrellita

La Hechicera

Cinthia Moreno

Sexy Star

Tiffany

Ayako Hamada/Fabi Apache/Angel Williams versus Sexy Star/Estrellita/Cinthia Moreno

2009-07-22T10:14:00.001-05:00

Here is part one of a match I ran across on YouTube of Ayako Hamada, Fabi Apache and Angel Williams (Or as you may know her better Angelina Love) wrestling Sexy Star,Estrellita and Cinthia Moreno.
The video was posted by DoubleMiz, one of the YouTube posters I have praised several times in my Joshi (Japanese Womens Wrestling) blog.
You can check out DoubleMiz's homepage here.

And even though it's an Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) event, the match has a lot of TNA flavor here with Konnan, Angelina and Ayako all asocciated with that promotion.

Top Ten Luchadoras for June

2009-07-16T14:50:00.001-05:00

1.Tiffany
2. Goddess
3. Dark Angel
4. Marcela
5. Amapola
6. Sexy Star
7. Estrellita
8. Rosa Negra
9. Medussa
10. La Hechicera

But all of that has changed now and last month's most searched for female Lucha Libre stars are.....

1 Sexy Star (Sexi Star)
Trained by the late, great Abismo Negro.
Sexy Star came in 6th last time but came in at number one this time.
2. Perla Negra
The daughter of Pirata Morgan.
3. Luna Magica
CMLL Luchadora.
4. La Chacala
One of the best brawlers in Lucha Libre.
5. Cynthia Moreno
Famous Asistencia Asesoría y Administración luchadora.
6. Ayako Hamada
Luchadora now signed with TNA.
7. Irma Gonzalez
A blast from the past. I was really shocked she came in on the list.
8. Lady Apache
Another classic luchadora.
9. Martha Villalobos
A classic heel (or rudo) that I was kind of surprised to see on the list.
10. India Sioux
A lovely Luchadora that I'm surprised isnt any farther up the list.

Tiffany versus Lady Apache

2009-06-09T12:57:00.001-05:00

Here's a video of Lady Apache wrestling Tiffany in a "Bull Terrier" match.
The Bull Terrier match is a dog collar match and looks like it could be very dangerous for either luchadora.

Of course we are given the classic "heel interference" at the end with "The Black Family" coming to Tiffany's aid.

Princess Sugey versus Goddess

2009-06-02T13:35:00.001-05:00

Here is part of of a match pitting Princess Sugey against Canadian Luchadora,Goddess in a mask versus mask match.

This was posted on YouTube by luchalibremexicana and it's part one of a three part match.

Sarah Stock Versus Amapola

2009-05-27T11:48:00.000-05:00

Here is a video of Dark Angel (Sarah Stock before she became a TNA Knockout) wrestling Amapola in a hair versus mask match.
Bear in mind this is a two part match, and the first part is eight minutes.
When's the last time you saw an eight minute plus match with the WWE Divas?

Luchadoras Wrestling In CMLL

2009-05-11T15:00:00.001-05:00

Here is a lucha libre video I found on YouTube of Marcela, Dark Angel and Lady Apache going up against Amapola, Princesa Sujei and Medusa in the CMLL.
This is part one of a two part video that was posted by TheCatchChannel who BTW has a lot of good lucha libre videos on his channel.
Like I said, this is part one of a two part video and part one alone is edited but still runs 10:27.
When's the last time you saw a WWE Diva's match go 10 minutes?
And like I said, that's just part one.

I really don't like Princesa Sujei's bleached blond hair.
I think she looked better the other way.

Top Ten Luchadoras for April

2009-05-01T11:46:00.002-05:00

First up, since I haven't done this in awhile, here are the top ten most searched for luchadoras on this blog last month.....

1.Tiffany
The number one most searched for luchadora on this blog last month was Asistencia Asesoría y Administración's Tiffany.
2. Goddess
3. Dark Angel
4. Marcela
5. Amapola
6. Sexy Star

Second, The IWG Promotion (International Wrestling Group) is trying to gear up their luchadora division. Back on April 3rd, they held an open casting call looking for luchadoras.

And finally, over at Claudia Wiens' blog, there are some REALLY nice candid photos of luchadoras like Sexy Star and Sarah Stock.
It's really worth checking out.

Sarah Stock DID Go To TNA

2009-04-27T12:03:00.002-05:00

Well I made an entry and again it happened.
This is getting weird.....
So just in case I'm on to something here.....
I am a millionaire!
Sorry, it just seems like every time I report on something it seems to happen within a week.

ANYWAY...LOL...right after I did my last entry on Sarah Stock and TNA, she debuted!
Yes "The Dark Angel" had a match with Awesome Kong in a match taped for Xplosion.
Sarah came up short, but c'mon, she was wrestling Kong!
But dont feel bad, the next night in another dark match, Sarah defeated Taylor Wilde.

Sarah still isnt on the TNA roster at their website (watch..now that I said that she'll be there by Friday) yet, even though they wasted no time getting Jenna Morasca on there.

So will we see Sarah in CMLL again?
To keep up to date with Sarah, you can visit her website here:
http://www.sarah.newscott.com/

Is Sarah Stock Going To TNA?

2009-04-21T11:04:00.002-05:00

So is Sarah Stock (Dark Angel) going to TNA?
At first everything seemed like it was pointing at that.
But as far as I know, SuperLuchas.net is still denying reports of Stock signing with TNA.
They say that Sarah is in negotiations with TNA, but right now, thats all.
Sarah is still competing in Mexico, but we have known since the beginning that Sarah had to fulfill her obligations in CMLL before coming to TNA.
I guess like everything else, we will just have to wait and see.

Amazona stands 5'10" and weighs 160 pounds.
She is from Cabo Rojo and made her pro wrestling debut in 2005.
Besides the IWA Womens Wrestling Championship, she has held the IWA Hardcore Championship.

The IWA Women's Wrestling Championship

2009-03-06T20:17:00.002-05:00

The current IWA Champion, Amazona

International Wrestling Association (IWA) is the other big lucha libre promotion in Puerto Rico.
It was actually started in Japan in 1994 by promoter Victor Quiñones.
The company has had ties in the past with the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) and World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).
This IWA should not be confused with the IWA started by Eddie Einhorn in the mid 1970s.

The IWA Women's World Wrestling Championship seems to be a very short lived title.
I don't know if records weren't kept, or they just didn't have a women's belt before 2007.
But according to the IWA website, there have only been three champions.

The first was Amazona, then the current WWC Women's Champion Sweet Nancy, then Genesis, and finally Amazona again on November 15th, 2008.

The WWC Women's Championship, Part Two

2009-02-24T10:04:00.002-05:00

Amaryllis won the belt on August 9, 1992 in Ponce, PR, but then the title was vacated in October, 1992 when Amaryllis left the WWC.
Sasha won the belt again on November 22, 1992 in Caguas, PR by defeating La Tigresa.
On April 17, 1993, La Tigresa took the title for the third time when Sasha no-showed for their rematch.
On February 25, 1998, Tigresa was arrested, and the title went vacant again.
The title was retired on March 1, 1999, but on March 25, 2006, Génesis won a Battle Royal to become the new champion when the title was revived.
And then the title was vacated on May 6, 2006...AGAIN!
On May 6, 2006, Lady Demonique was awarded the belt after she defeated Black Rose. Then Black Rose won it, Demonique won it back until Génesis got the title back again on September 30, 2006.
This was followed by Demonique winning it back for the third time, Black Rose beating her for the title, Amazona in turn defeating Black Rose, Génesis winning the title back for her third time, Killer Kat winning the belt and finally Sweet Nancy winning the title on January 24, 2009.

Here's a video of Sasha wrestling La Tigresa back in 1992.

Sarah Stock, Luchadora to TNA Knockout

2009-02-17T22:38:00.002-05:00

Taking a break from the WWC History.....
Well I suppose the big news is that luchadora Sarah Stock, Dark Angel, is now going to be referred to as TNA Knockout Sarah Stock.
Yes TNA has finally signed the lovely CMLL star and I guess now she bids farewell to Mexico.
For the time being at least.
TNA has been after Sarah since the Knockouts division started.

The WWC Women's Wrestling Championship

2009-02-15T13:57:00.001-05:00

Wendi Richter, the first ever WWC Women's Wrestling Champion

In the US, lucha libre is associated with Mexico.
But there are other countries where lucha libre is popular.
For example, Puerto Rico.
In Puerto Rico the two big wrestling promotions are The World Wrestling Council (WWC) and The International Wrestling Association (IWA).
Both of these wrestling promotions have luchadoras.

The World Wrestling Council has a Women's Championship that has been contested since May of 1987.
Their first ever champion was Wendi Richter. She defeated Monster Ripper in a tournament to become the first champion.
Then Monster Ripper turned around and took the title in the same year defeating Wendi.
Wendi Richter reclaimed the title, defeating Monster Ripper in Trinidad and Tobago on July 28, 1987.
Richter left the promotion and the title was vacated.
Monster Ripper got the belt back after defeating Candi Devine in a tournament on July 7, 1990 in Bayamón, PR.
Sasha got the belt on October 13, 1990 and she and Monster Ripper traded the belt back and forth like this:
Monster Ripper won it on November 10, 1990, Sasha got it back on December 15, 1990, Monster Ripper took it back on March 9, 1991, Candi Devine stepped in and broke the streak on May 11, 1991, Monster Ripper defeated her and took the belt back on September 9, 1991and Sasha in turn won it back on October 5, 1991.
Then La Tigresa broke everything up by winning the title from Sasha on April 26, 1992.
Due to some controversy, the title was held up after a match on June 13, 1992 between La Tigresa and Sasha.
There was a rematch set for July 22, 1992, but Sasha no showed and the belt went to La Tigresa.

To be continued.......

Luchadoras Princesa Blanca and La Nazi

2009-02-09T12:56:00.000-05:00

Here is a picture of Mexican National Women's Wrestling Champion, Princesa Blanca not having a very good time in the ring with La Nazi during a wrestling match in Mexico.
It looks like Blanca might have been on the receiving end of one of those knife edge chops.

Luchadoras Dark Angel and Christie Ricci

2009-02-02T11:58:00.002-05:00

Here's a picture of Canadian Luchadora Dark Angel (Sarah Stock) and "The MISSissippi Queen" Christie Ricci.
Even though Sarah is from Canada and Christie is from the US, both are very active in Mexico.
Christie has wrestled for Lucha Libre Feminil and at one time held the LLF Women's Wrestling Title.

Lady Victoria

2009-01-22T15:46:00.001-05:00

Lady Victoria was born Victoria Ann Moreno on September 15, 1972 in Barstow, California.
During her career she has been a professional wrestler, luchadora, manager, valet, and actress.
She was trained by Billy Anderson, Jesse Hernandez and Sergio Garcia.
Lady Victoria made her pro wrestling debut on January 16, 1993 in Tijuana.
She has wrestled all over Mexico and the US for promotions like AAA, CMLL/EMLL, IWRG, Promo Aztecas, and XPW.
Lady Victoria has attained almost a cult status because of appearances in a comic book published by Pin & Ink, ThunderGirls titled “Lady Victoria vs. Queen of the Vampires”.
LadySports Magazine helped to boost her career with articles and getting her involved with their wrestling promotion, the Professional Girl Wrestling Association (PGWA).
She went to Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA), feuding with Zuleyma, Miss Janeth, and La Briosa.
Lady Victoria then went to International Wrestling Revolution Group where she feuded with Miss Janeth (again), Barbara Blaze, La Indomable, Mohicana, and Migala.
She then moved to Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre y La Empressa, wrestling against the likes of La Diabolica, Infernal, and Amapola.
Moving to Xtreme Pro Wrestling, she became the manager and sometimes partner of Damien and Halloween.
She went into semi-retirement from wrestling, but she returned to IWRG and LLF in the summer of 2008 for a few special matches.

WWA World Women's Wrestling Championship

2009-01-21T12:22:00.001-05:00

WWA World Women's Wrestling Championship

Another title without a clear pedigree in Lucha Libre is the WWA World Women's Wrestling Championship.
But it does have the distinction of changing hands once in another country.
Not Japan but Hungary.

Zuleyma was the first champion. It's unclear if this was done via a tournament or if it was awarded.
Lola Gonzalez defeated Zuleyma in a wrestling match on July 20th, 1991 to take the title at Auditorio De Tijuana.
Then in November of 1991, Monster Ripper (the WWF's Big Bertha) defeated Lola Gonzalez in Hungary for the belt.
Ten years later (?) Ayako Hamada defeated Monster Ripper for the belt in March of 2003.
However, Monster Ripper passed away in 2001, two years before the match supposedly took place. So I am imagining that the title was actually awarded to Ayako.
Ayako defended the belt several times in 2003, but now the title is listed as inactive although she is still listed as the title holder.

I'm wondering if maybe the WWWA World Heavyweight Championship which was in All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling, wasn't confused with the WWA title since Monster Ripper and Ayako Hamada both held that title at one time.

UWA World Women's Wrestling Championship

2009-01-20T11:11:00.004-05:00

The UWA World Women's Wrestling Championship was originally a Joshi Puroresu title, but unlike the UWA International Women's Wrestling Championship that was defended in Japan, the UWA World Women's Championship was mainly defended in Mexico.
The first holder of the belt though was an American.
Vickie Williams defeated Irma González on December 9th, 1979 in Mexico City to become the first champion.
Then Estela Molina turned right around and took the title from Vickie Williams a few days later on December 23rd 1979 in El Toreo De Naucalpan.
The belt changed hands several times with many of the great luchadoras holding it at one time or another.
Irma González, Chabela Romero, Lola Gonzalez, Pantera Surena, Jaguar Yokota and Shinobu Kandori all held the belt at one time or another until the title was declared vacant when 1987 Shinobu Kandori left the promotion.
A match was held for the championship in Tokyo, with Lola Gonzalez taking the title for the fourth time after defeating Harley Saito on October 10th, 1987.
Lola held the belt for almost four years till Zuleyma won the title on February 23rd, 1991 at Pista Arena Revolucion.
Zuleyma defended the belt against almost every top luchadora in Lucha Libre till she was defeated by her sister Miss Janeth, on September 7th, 2001 in Nuevo Leon.
Miss Janeth lost the belt to Ayako Hamada, but won it back, and is listed as the UWA World Women's Wrestling Champion today.

The Mexican National Women's Tag Team Championship

2009-01-16T11:47:00.001-05:00

The first title holders, Irma Aguilar and Irma Gonzalez

Besides the The Mexican National Women's Wrestling Championship, there was also a recognized tag team title, the Mexican National Women's Tag Team Championship.
And like the singles title, the Championship was held by famous names in the Lucha Libre world.
But unlike the singles title, the tag team belts seem to have vanished.

The first title holders were Irma Aguilar and Irma Gonzalez. They defeated Neftali and Satanakia in the final round of a tournament at Arena Xochimilco on August 10th, 1990.
Martha Villalobos and Pantera Surena defeated Irma Aguilar and Irma Gonzalez for the tag team belts on December 20th, 1991 in Mexico City.
Vicky Carranza and Briosa defeated Martha Villalobos and Pantera Surena for the belts on February 19th, 1994 at the Arena Xochimilco.
In an unusual move, Vicky Carranza and Briosa broke up, got different partners and the two teams faced each other on November 12th 1995 at Arena Apatlaco. Vicky teamed with La Medusa, and Briosa teamed with Neftali. Neftali and Briosa took the belts.
Then on January 19th, 1996 at Arena Xochmilco, La Rosa and La Sirenita defeated Neftali and La Broisa for the titles.
This was the last recorded defense of the belts.

The Mexican National Women's Wrestling Championship

2009-01-14T10:58:00.000-05:00

Marcela

The Comisión de Box y Lucha Libre Mexico D.F. or the “Mexican commission of Boxing and Professional Wrestling” has recognized the Mexican National Women's Wrestling Championship since 1958.
The title has been held by most of the legends of female Lucha Libre.
Due to a ban on women's wrestling in the 50s, reigns during it's early history are hard to verify.
Isabel Romero is the first listed champion back in 1958.
Irma Gonzalez defeated Isabel Romero for the title in 1959.
After that La Jarochita Rivero, Rossy Moreno, Reyna Gallegos, La Briosa, Zuleyma, La Marquesa, Neftali, La Sirenita, La Diabolica, Martha Villalobos, Tiffany and Lady Apache all held the title at some point.

On April 27th, 2007, a fourteen woman cibernetico was held to determine the finalists for a championship. Some of the Luchadoras that took part were Diosa Maya, Atenea, La Seductora, Luna Magica, La Nazi, Princesa Blanca, Medusa, India Sioux, Rosa Negra, Sahori, Diana la Cazadora and Amapola.
When the smoke cleared Marcela took the title, defeating Princesa Sujei.

IWRG Intercontinental Women's Wrestling Championship

2009-01-07T11:58:00.003-05:00

IWRG, Grupo Internacional Revolucion or International Wrestling Revolution Group (English version of the promotion name) is an independent Lucha Libre promotion based in Naucalpan, Mexico.
They have a women's title belt listed as being held by Amapola, but the listing doesn't appear on the IWRG website.
Close to the end of 2007, Amapola stopped wearing the belt to matches. But up until 2007, IWRG had a talent sharing agreement with CMLL. In 2007 that agreement fell apart, and that may account for why Amapola stopped wearing the belt.

The previous history of the IWRG Intercontinental Women's Wrestling Championship goes like this......

Flor Metalica, Marcela, Josseline, Ayako Hamada, La Diabolica, La Amapola, Lady Metal were involved in a Torneo Cibernetico (elimination tag-team matches) that Ayako Hamada won.
In 2003, Ayako Hamada successfully defended the belt against La Diabolica.
In 2005, Amapola evidently beat Ayako for the belt in Japan.
She defended the belt twice against Marcela in 2006 and Hiroka in 2007.

The FILL Women's Wrestling Championship

2008-12-30T16:28:00.001-05:00

The Federación Internacional de Lucha Libre (FILL) Women's Wrestling Championship hasn't been around as long as some of the others.
On July 25th, 2004 Christine Ricci was named the first champion.
But sometime after that, Princesa Sujei became the second champion.
On March 27th 2005, Dark Angel defeated Princesa Sujei for the title at the Arena Coliseo Monterrey in Mexico.
Somehow Dulce Poly wound up with the title and lost it to La Bruja on December 17th, 2006 at the Arena Coliseo Monterrey.
Then La Bandida defeated Dulce Poly for the belt on Februrary 27th, 2007.

AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championship

2008-12-29T14:13:00.002-05:00

Besides the Reina de Reinas Championship, Asistencia Asesoria y Administracion has a Championship that women can compete for that's a little different than here in the US.
They have the World Mixed Tag Team Championship.
True the WWE has mixed tag team matches at times, but it's not elevated to this status here.

On June 15, 2003 in Naucalpan, México, Electro Shock and Lady Apache won the first AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championship by defeating Gran Apache and Fabi Apache, El Brazo and Martha Villalobos and Chessman and Tiffany in an elimination match.
That must have been kinda weird since Lady Apache is married to Electro Shock, and she was once married to Gran Apache and Fabi had been her step daughter.

Chessman and Tiffany won the titles on September 16, 2003 in San Luis Potosí, San Luis Potosí.

Gran Apache and Faby Apache won the belts on August 1, 2004 in Guadalupe, Puebla by defeating Electro Shock and Lady Apache, Chessman and Tiffany and Orientál and Cynthia Moreno in a four-way match.
The title was vacated on July 17, 2005 when Fabi Apache didn't show up for a title defense.

Orientál and Cynthia Moreno (brother/sister) won the titles on December 10, 2005 in Guadalajara, Jalisco by defeating Chessman and La Diabólica in a tournament final.
The title was again vacated on November 30, 2007 when Cynthia was injured.

Gran Apache and Mari Apache won the belts on November 30, 2007 in Madero, Tamaulipas after defeating Billy Boy and Fabi Apache, Espiritu and La Diabolica and Ayako Hamada and Mr. Niebla in a four-way match.

And finally Orientál and Cynthia Moreno won the titles on September 14, 2008 in Zapopan, Jalisco at the Verano de Escandalo.

There seems to be a lot of husband/wife, father/daughter, boyfriend/girlfriend wrestling going on in Mexico.
I wonder why Vince hasn't caught onto that yet?

The AAA Reina de Reinas Title

2008-12-17T14:19:00.000-05:00

Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) doesn't have a women's championship as such, they have an annual tournament called AAA Reina de Reinas (Queen of Queens). Even though it's won in a tournament the belt is defended occasionally.
Reina de Reinas started as a four way matches in a tournament format, but has changed formats since.

The first Reina de Reinas Tournament was won by Xóchitl Hamada in 1999.
To win the first round, Xóchitl had to defeat Alda Moreno, La Fugtiva and Venus in a four way match. Then she had to go on to best Miss Janeth, Rossy Moreno and Esther Moreno to win the title.
Xóchitl defended the title on October 6th, 1999 against Esther Moreno and lost. They clashed again on November 5th 1999 with Ester again retaining the title.

The second Reina de Reinas Tournament in 2000 was won by Rossy Moreno, who had to defeat previous champion Xochitl Hamada, Martha Villalobos and Miss Janeth in the final match.
Then on June 16th, 2000, Rossy Moreno had to defend the title against Martha Villalobos. Rossy won because of a DQ.

In 2001, Lady Apache defeated Miss Janeth, Tiffany, and Alda Moreno to win the title.
Lady Apache had a rougher reign, having to defend the title against Miss Janeth, AKINO and Tiffany to retain the Reina de Reina belt.

2002's tournament had a bit of a twist, as both Miss Janeth and Martha Villalobos were eliminated in the final match, leaving Esther Moreno and Lady Apache. The match was considered a draw, but Esther was recognized as a Reina de Reinas champion.
Either way, Martha Villalobos defeated Esther Moreno on May 4th, 2002 to win the Reina de Reina championship.

2003 is also a bit of a mystery, with some reports having Martha Villalobos defeating Fabi Apache and Lady Apache to win the title.

Sometime between 2003 and 2004, Tiffany won the Reina de Reinas championship (there was no tournament held in 2004 so I don't know how she got the title). Anyway, Lady Apache defeated Tiffany on May 5th, 2004 to win the title. This led to five more matches between the two during the year, with Lady Apache winning all of them.

In 2005, The 6th Reina de Reinas tournament was held in Mexico City on February 20th. In the final, Tiffany beat Lady Apache to win the crown. Tiffany then went on to defend the title twice that year, both times against Lady Apache. Tiffany won both matches.

In 2006, Miss Janeth defeated La Diabolica to win the title.
AAA also held a special Reina de Reinas Internacional match that year, with Cinthia Moreno winning the title.

In 2007 the Reina de Reinas Tournament turned into a melee, with the final match being Sexi Star, Fabi Apache, Cinthia Moreno, Rossy Moreno, Tiffany, and Miss Janeth. The match quickly turned into a 3 on 3 contest with Sexi Star, Fabi Apache, and Cinthia Moreno teaming up against Rossy Moreno, Tiffany, and Miss Janeth.
At the end of this wild brawl, the Reyna of Reynas was Tiffany.

Finally in 2008 the tournament started with fifteen women and got down to Fabi Apache, Mari Apache and Ayako Hamada.
Fabi won, making her the Reyna of Reynas of 2008.

The CMLL World Women's Wrestling Championship

2008-12-09T14:24:00.002-05:00

The CMLL World Women's Wrestling Championship has a long and illustrious history.
Some of the biggest stars in lucha libre have held the title.

Bull Nakano won the title first on June 12, 1992 in Mexico City, Distrito Federal. She defeated Lola González after she and Lola had both become finalists in a 12-woman battle royal.
Xóchitl Hamada defeated Bull Nakano on March 21, 1993 to take the title.
Then La Diabólica defeated Xóchitl Hamada on October 10, 1993.
Reina Jubuki (a masked Akira Hokuto) beat La Diabólica on July 30, 1994, but was stripped of the title on November 4, 1996, because she wrestled in a match against Madusa on WCW Monday Nitro.
Lady Apache then won the title on November 8, 1996 after winning a four-woman tournament.
She held the title until February 6, 1997, when Mariko Yoshida defeated her in Tokyo, Japan.
Mariko Yoshida was stripped of the title in February 1999 for not defending it.
Lady Apache got it back, but then lost it again on August 18, 2000 because she jumped ship and went to AAA.
The title was given back to La Diabólica, till she was stripped of it as well for doing the same thing Lady Apache did, going to the Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA).
Another 12-woman tournament was held on on September 9, 2005, and Marcela defeated Dark Angel (Sarah Stock) in the finals to take the title.
(Raven) Hiroka defeated Marcela on June 9, 2006 to win the title, and held it till she was defeated by the returning Lady Apache on Christmas Day in 2006.
Lady Apache held it until November 16, 2007, when she was defeated by Amapola in Mexico City.

Since then, Amapola has manged to hold onto the title, defending against other great lucadoras like Luna Magica, Marcela, Dark Angel, Princesa Blanca and Lady Apache.
Also Amapola is technically still the IWRG Intercontinental Women's Wrestling Champion.

Luchadora Perla Negra

2008-11-28T14:25:00.002-05:00

Perla Negra

Luchadora Perla Negra was born in 1986.
She is part of the Pirata Family in Mexico.
Pirata Morgan is father and Pirata Morgan Jr. is her brother.
She was trained by her father Pirata Morgan.
Her pro wrestling debut was in 2006.
Coming from a wrestling family isn't her only advantage, this lady stands 5'11.
So I imagine she is able to hold her own in the mixed matches Mexico is famous for.
Besides wrestling, she often accompanies Los Piratas (Pirata Morgan Jr., Hijo de Pirata Morgan and Pirata Morgan) to the ring.

Luchadora: Sexy Star, part 5

2008-10-30T11:24:00.004-05:00

Okay, I promise these are the last two pictures of Masked Lucha Libre star, Sexi Star.
For now anyway.
This Mexican female wrestler is very popular South of the border, and I wonder how she would do up here?
I would like to see TNA start a "Luchadora" division and maybe give the audiences in the US a taste of female Lucha Libre.
I'd rather WWE not do it because...well you've seen what Vince does to great performers.
Anyway, right now that's just a dream.

Luchadora: Sexy Star, part 4
