Sarah Stock aka Dark Angel - Luchadoras

One of the most popular luchadoras on this blog last year was a female wrestler that isn't even from Mexico, Sarah Stock, aka Dark Angel.

Sarah was born on March 4th, 1979 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
She was trained by Phil Lafon, Eddie Watts, Diluvio Negro 1 and El Satánico.
Sarah made her wrestling debut on February 22nd, 2002 in Canada, but was soon in Mexico working for first Lucha Libre Femenil and Asesoría y Administración (AAA), and then Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL).
In Japan, Sarah has worked for the World Wonder Ring Stardom promotion where she won the Wonder of Stardom Championship.
She has also competed her in the United States with the Shimmer Women Athletes.

But of course a lot of American fans know her best from her stint with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling as Sarita.
She was with TNA from 2009 to 2013, but I swear it doesn’t seem like she was there that long.

Dark Angel vs Amapola

Dark Angel - Sarah Stock Back In CMLL

As you may know, on January 9th, 2013, Sarita (Sarah Stock) parted ways with TNA wrestling.
While I was sad to hear this, Sarah hadn't wrestled for TNA in over seven months.
But TNA's loss is lucha libre's gain as Sarah is back in CMLL.
And may I say that she is looking better than ever.

Seriously...she has developed the body of a fitness model since leaving TNA.
I know she has won the CMLL Bodybuilding Contest six years in a row, but I think this is her best.

You can check out Sarah on Facebook here:

More Luchadoras on YouTube

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.

Luchadoras on YouTube

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.

The Lack of Luchadoras

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.

More Sarita TNA Updates

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:

Sarita in TNA, Updates

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?

Sarah Stock Versus Amapola

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

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.

It's really worth checking out.

Sarah Stock DID Go To TNA

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:

Is Sarah Stock Going To TNA?

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.

Sarah Stock, Luchadora to TNA Knockout

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 CMLL World Women's Wrestling Championship

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.
