Here is former WWE Diva and TNA Knockout Mickie James getting the better of Lucha Libre star Faby Apache.
I think this is at AAA's Triplemanía XIX back in 2011, but I'm not sure.
That was when La Legión Extranjera (Angelina Love, Mickie James, Sexy Star and Velvet Sky) defeated Cynthia Moreno, Faby Apache, Mari Apache and Lolita in an eight woman tag team match.
Born Jennifer Ykema on September 16th, 1983 in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, Jennifer Blake is another Canadian female wrestler that has achieved fame in Mexico in Lucha Libre.
Jennifer, Taya Valkyrie, Dark Angel and Aurora all made the jump down there and have done very well.
Beautiful five foot seven, 125 pound AAA Luchadora Jennifer Blake.
Yep...another Canadian luchadora.
Here's some "old school" pictures of Luchadora Lola Gonzales.
Lola was the sister of luchadora Leslie Gonzalez and was pretty much a legend in Lucha Libre.
Although her main claim to fame was in Mexico, she also wrestled in other countries including the United States and Japan.
The Apache sisters Mari and Fabi in happier times.
I havent done a roster listing in quite a while so here are the luchadoras currently on the Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) roster (to the best of my knowledge).
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.

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.
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 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 Christie Ricci was named the first champion...
Yes, more pictures of Mexican Luchadora Sexi Star.
Did you know her real name is Dulce Garcia?
And here's a sort video with Sexy Star and fellow luchadora, Estrellita.

Here are two more photos of Irma Aguilar and Irma Gonzalez separately.
Irma Aguilar appeared in the U.S movie " All The Marbles". ( Kind of a cult movie for women's wrestling fans)
And last I read, Irma Gonzalez was still training wrestlers.
