March 21, 2011 by Melanie

Trish Stratus spoke to IGN about the upcoming series of Tough Enough during a recent visit to the show’s Simi Valley set.

When asked about her current favorite Diva, Trish voted for fellow Canadian, Natalya:

“She’s untapped,” Trish smiled. “Fans are starting to get to know her more and more and I’m just waiting for the day where she goes out there and really can do her thing because I don’t think she’s been given the opportunity to really get out there and show everybody what she’s got.”

Results & Pictures from ACW in San Antonio, TX (March 20th, 2011)

March 21, 2011 by Melanie

Results and pictures from yesterday’s Anarchy Championship Wrestling show in San Antonio, TX courtesy of regular contributor, Brandon:

ACW was back in business in the 210 for their March show in Texas – “A Chain Reaction of Evil,” a night that displayed some insane wrestling from the Anarchists. But the real stars of the show were the American Joshis: Tag Champions, Rachel Summerlyn and Jessica James, Athena, Amanda Fox, and the returning Lillie Mae.

The Joshi action kick off with a pre-show match between “Five Star” Amanda Fox and the returning Lillie Mae, who took a brief hiatus from ACW. This match resulted in Amanda Fox on top against the “Hot Little Momma With a Pick Up Truck” Mae with the Ocana Roll while posing. It was a decent match, and good show from both girls. There were a few iffy spots in the match, but it picked up as it progressed. Best move of the match was when Lillie was choking Amanda with her foot, and from there Amanda wrapped her legs on Mae’s legs and rolled into a heel hook on Mae. Great amateur wrestling showing from the “Five Star.”

March 15, 2011 by Melanie

Former America’s Next Top Model contestant, Michelle Deighton, will be part of the upcoming cast of Tough Enough, reports ProWrestling.net.

If that name sounds familiar it is because she has appeared on WWE television before. Back in 2005, UPN (then home of SmackDown and ‘Top Model’) had a crossover between the two shows with Deighton appearing on SmackDown and being berated by Melina.

Deighton is a trained wrestler. She began training before she appeared on the fourth season of ‘Top Model’. According to a past interview, she was recruited by ANTM producers after they saw pictures of her on the web.

Michelle is also the wife of former Survivor contestant Jonny Fairplay, who himself has appeared in TNA and ROH.
