As mentioned, Raw Diva Gail Kim‘s movie Ninja’s Creed is finally due for release on DVD on July 20th via Lionsgate. The film, which also stars Eric Roberts and the late Pat Morita, was filmed in 2005 while Gail was still a TNA Knockout. Lionsgate has sent us full details for the film’s release — including a high quality version of the DVD artwork. Check it out below:
Starring WWE Diva Gail Kim
NINJA’S CREEDPROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Starring Academy Award® nominee Pat Morita (Best Actor in a Supporting Role, The Karate Kid, 1984) in his final role, Lionsgate brings Ninja’s Creed to DVD and digital download this July. Combining eccentric martial arts choreography with a regal cast, this critically acclaimed film also stars WWE Diva Gail Kim, Academy Award® nominee Eric Roberts (Best Actor in a Supporting Role, Runaway Train, 1985) and Lalaine (Disney’s “Lizzie McGuire”). The film follows a ruthless assassin sent to Washington, D.C. on a mission to kill a high school teenager in order to end the modern day Himalayan Kingdom’s line of succession. When the King sends one of his soldiers to protect the endangered princess, a battle quickly ensues and the lines between good and evil are profoundly blurred. Ninja’s Creed, which The Washington Post declared “has to be seen to be believed,” will hit shelves on DVD on July 20th featuring bonus materials such as behind-the-scenes interviews, outtakes and deleted scenes.

On this week’s episode of Wrestlicious TakeDown, the promotion crowned its first champion in Glory aka independent wrestler Christie Ricci. Glory took the crown in a hard-fought bout — perhaps the best match produced yet by Wrestlicious — against fellow indy veteran, Rain, known in the promotion as Felony.
Hot on the heels of the episode airing, we caught up with Glory to discuss how she feels about being the first ever Wrestlicious Champion.
First of all, congratulations on being the first ever Wrestlicious Champion. How does it feel?
Glory: It’s exciting. Wrestlicious, I’ve been so excited to be part of it so it’s really an honor just to be able to represent the company. The match I had with Rain [Felony], I thought it was an excellent match and to be able to beat a competitor like that, it’s always exciting.
Most of the Wrestlicious footage was filmed some time ago and the champion has been kept a secret. Was it hard for you to keep it under wraps?
Glory: [Laughs]. Not really. Goodness, we filmed, I think it was August 2008. Almost two years ago. So once the filming was done, it was one of those things that you hoped would take off because I really enjoyed the product and working for them but at the same time, I’ve done so many of these pilots/shows that are gonna make TV supposedly that you have one filming for and you never hear about again. So it’s nothing new to do a pilot and say, ‘Alright, that was fun… it was a pay check’, you know? And that’s it, you never really think about it again. Whereas, with Wrestlicious it was a little different, we were hoping that it did take off and something was done with it. At the same time, it’s still a product that is so outlandish and really not accepted so easily in today’s wrestling market that you’re just like, ‘Alright, well that was a fun weekend with the girls. We had a blast!’.
The champion doesn’t receive a belt, rather the ‘Wrestlicious crown’. Do you like this break from convention or would you prefer a title?
Glory: I definitely like the break from the conventional. When I grew up watching pro wrestling, it was all big gimmicks, interesting storylines and big larger-than-life characters and it wasn’t so serious. People try – especially the females – I feel like the females put a lot of emphasis on the seriousness of the athleticism and the sports side. That’s not really one of the reasons that I got into wrestling, even though I do appreciate that side, it’s not what I grew up loving and was so intrigued by. So, I like the break from convention. As far as a belt, it’s not really important. A belt, a crown… whatever. It’s kind of interesting, I was actually a beauty queen. I was Miss Teen Tennessee in high school when I was 17 years old. I still have my crown actually, so I probably have more crowns than I have actual belts.

This summer, we’re launching a huge competition — Diva Dirt’s Summer of Swag. Instead of just giving away one prize and being done with it, we’re celebrating all summer long. From June 1st right through to the end of August, we’ll be giving away prizes every single week and every single month too! Get all the details below:
Weekly prize
Each week for 13 weeks, we’ll create a post for you to enter our sweepstakes via the comments. No questions, no trivia — just comment with your name and a few other details! At the end of the week, we’ll choose one winner at random to win our sweepstake. What is the weekly prize? A downloadable match (valued at $5) courtesy of our friends at ClickWrestle.com. You will be allowed to enter every week (even if you’ve won before), creating plenty of opportunities for everyone!
Monthly prize
As well as the weekly prize, we’ll have a monthly prize for each month also — June, July and August! What do you need to do to enter the monthly sweepstakes? Nothing! Your weekly submission will count as a submission for that month’s sweepstake also. For example, if you enter in the week of June 7th, you’ll automatically be entered into the June sweepstake. Furthermore, if you enter on a weekly basis i.e. you enter all of the weekly sweepstakes for June, you’ll have even more chance of winning the monthly sweepstake as you’ll have accumulated five entries.
At the end of each month, we’ll choose one winner at random to win the sweepstake. The winner will receive a $25 gift voucher courtesy of our friends at Highspots.com.
It all begins next week! Make sure you check back on Tuesday, June 1st for the first weekly sweepstake.
