Sweet Nancy

Sweet Nancy is a Puerto Rican luchadora from the town of Caguas.
Nancy has wrestled for both the International Wrestling Association (IWA) and the World Wrestling Council (WWC) in Puerto Rico.
She has held the Women's Wrestling Championship in both promotions.

IWA: La Potra

Another International Wrestling Association (IWA) luchadora, La Potra.
As far as I can tell, La Potra is a heel.

IWA: Genesis

Genesis is another Luchadora that wrestles for the Puerto Rican wrestling promotion International Wrestling Association (IWA).
She also wrestled for the other Puerto Rican professional wrestling promotion, the World Wrestling Council (WWC) where she held the WWC Women's Championship three times.
Genesis has also held the IWA Women's Wrestling title.

IWA: Morena

Morena or "La Morena" is a luchadora that works for International Wrestling Association (IWA) wrestling in Puerto Rico.
She once was in a heel stable known as "Caballeros dela Revolución".

Amazona - IWA Luchadora

Here are a couple of pictures of the current IWA Champion, Amazona.
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.

WWA World Women's Wrestling Championship

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.

AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championship

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?

Las luchadoras vs el Médico Asesino [The Wrestling Women vs. the Murderous Doctor]

Alfredo Salazar is a somewhat unsung figure in the annals of Mexican cinema, toiling as he did for years as a screenwriter before receiving the opportunity to direct (a vocation which he did not exercise too frequently).
Salazar's script for Las luchadoras vs. el Médico Asesino took elements of horror and wrestling (from Ladrón de cadáveres, particularly) and added a bit of sexual titillation. The concept of wrestling women was popular enough to inspire a series of six Calderón films: Las luchadoras vs. el Médico Asesino, Las luchadoras vs. la momia ('64), Las lobas del ring ('64), Las mujeres panteras ('66), Las luchadoras vs. el robot asesino ('68) and El horripilante bestia humana ('68--although this featured only one female wrestler).
The last two films were unofficial remakes of Las luchadoras vs. el Médico Asesino (although Salazar was only credited on Robot asesino), but with added gore and nudity that would have been prohibited just six years earlier. Three of the series were dubbed into English: Doctor of Doom (Médico Asesino), Wrestling Women vs. the Aztec Mummy (Las luchadoras vs. la momia), and Night of the Bloody Apes (Horripilante bestia).

Las luchadoras vs el Médico Asesino [The Wrestling Women vs. the Murderous Doctor]

Professor Ruiz and his assistant Boris are trying to create a race of superhumans via brain transplants. One of their failed experiments, Gomar, is a brutish creature who is kept in a cage and fed raw meat. Perhaps for this reason, Ruiz has now switched to transplanting brains into women, with no discernable success. One of his "donors" is Alicia, whose sister is professional wrestler Gloria Venus. Ruiz starts to think that perhaps a female athlete might be a better subject for his medical hijinks: he sends Gomar and some (human) henchmen after Gloria and her new friend, wrestler Rubí, but the women best their attackers.

Gloria and Rubí become friends with Armando and Chema, two police agents trying to solve the mystery. Boris is captured but is killed before he can identify Ruiz as the mad killer; Chema and Armando are kidnaped by Ruiz, but are saved by Gloria and Rubí. In the struggle, Ruiz has acid thrown in his face, and the laboratory catches fire.

However, Ruiz survives and transplants Gomar's brain into a woman wrestler's body; he names the resulting creation "Vendetta" (since Gomar is male, this is actually a sort of sex-change operation for him). Vendetta wrestles Gloria and is gaining the upper hand, when Rubí spots Marcado, one of Ruiz's henchmen, in the arena. Marcado, under pressure, admits Vendetta's masked manager is really the scarred Ruiz. The police are alerted, and Vendetta and Ruiz flee to the top of a nearby tower. Armando climbs up in pursuit, but is nearly killed; Chema shoots and kills Ruiz and Vendetta.


Oddly enough, while the "arena" wrestling scenes feature Lorena Velázquez doing some of her own stunts, she and Elizabeth Campbell are (somewhat obviously) doubled in most of the other action sequences (particularly one where Marcado and another henchman attack Gloria and Rubí in their bedroom). In general, actual women wrestlers of this era (some appear in the film as themselves) were stocky and not exactly movie-star beautiful (to put it mildly), and thus the mostly-doubled wrestling and action sequences are the least entertaining aspects of these films (this wasn't an issue for Santo, Blue Demon, etc., who were wrestlers first and "acted" by virtue of dubbed dialogue
