Last year, Diva Dirt hand-picked five talents for its second annual Five to Watch list who we felt were making waves in women’s wrestling and embodied the traits it took to be a standout star. Those five talents, we felt had the talent, the look and personality to go far in the business and as such, they received the Diva Dirt stamp of approval.
This year, the Five to Watch is back! Five new talents will be unveiled over five days, beginning tomorrow, November 1st. Who will make this year’s list? The competition has been tough, as we’ve noticed more rising talent than ever before. But before we unveil the Class of 2011, we’re taking a look back at the Class of 2010 and what they’ve been up to since we included them in last year’s list…
ATHENA
Athena caught our eye with her work in Texas promotion, Anarchy Championship Wrestling, but has since expanded around the US. Now a regular in SHIMMER, Athena has competed against the likes of Cheerleader Melissa, Tenille and others. Recently, she picked up her first win in SHIMMER over Mia Yim.
In January, the self-proclaimed “Wrestling Goddess” made her debut in WSU, as well as competing in a 10,000 Tacks Match in ACW. Ouch!
Athena was recently crowned the new ACW American Joshi Champion, defeating Lady Poison.

All five have made an impact to varying degrees. I think Craft made the right decision to move as she wasnt really progressing in the ring in the US.

I disagree there are plenty of women she could’ve gotten in the ring with & helped her improve. Her wrestling was already pretty good for a rookie, as not many people grasp wrestling as easy her.

That’s more likely to be about Bonesaw, not Craft. Jamilia has gotten many compliments on her skills & rightfully so as she wrestles like someone who has a few years of experience already. Others like Rayna Von Tash & Bonesaw haven’t gotten wrestling so easily.

Athena would be a great edition to the KO’s roster which needs a afro american on the roster ASAP!!

Jamilia Craft’s match in Korakuen Hall is now online on youtube. It’s the FLASH tournament that took place past weekend. The tournament is like the joshi version of Survivor series, all joshi promotions competed with eachother in 5-women teams.

Ah, Thank you for reminding me about the tournament.

Brittany is still pretty young. It would be cool if she got signed to WWE, I don’t think she has the Diva look though. I think Athena has a great look. I don’t really see her as a Diva, I think she would be a better addition to the Knockout Division.
