Latest news from WSU below:
WSU News Update For 1/9/11
– WSU at ACE This Saturday
– Free Videos of Marti Belle & Brittney Savage
– Less Than Two Weeks Away From WSU’s 2nd iPPV
– Reliving The Best Feud in Womens Wrestling with Videos of Martinez vs Orsini
—————This past Friday night, on 1/7, WSU Spirit Champion Brittney Savage was scheduled to defend the WSU Spirit Championship against WSU Tag Champion Marti Belle at an NYWC show in New York. Unfortunately, the event was cancelled due to a snowstorm. This left WSU in a limbo, as the match also included a stipulation – if Savage defeated Marti Belle, then she would get a chance to challenge for Marti Belle’s WSU Tag Team title, a championship Belle holds with her Belles Saints tag team partner, Tina San Antonio. WSUWrestling.com was able to catch up with Marti Belle & Brittney Savage for a quick statement. Here are the videos from each wrestler:
Brittney Savage’s Challenge:
Marti Belle’s Response to Savage:
WSU has talked to both the Belles Saints & Brittney Savage/Rick Cataldo, and since all four participants want it, WSU has agreed to a huge tag team title match! On Saturday, 1/15 at the ACE Arena in Union City, NJ, the Belles Saints will defend the WSU Tag Team Titles against WSU Spirit Champion Brittney Savage & Rick Cataldo. This match has many implications, as The Belle Saints are involved in two big triple threat matches on 1/22 at WSU’s “Final Chapter” iPPV.
WSUWrestling.com has also received word that ALICIA, who has an opportunity to challenge for any championship in WSU as a result of her defeating Nikki Roxx in the Open Contract match on 12/11/10, will also be in the house. There’s no love lost between Savage & Cataldo. Could Alicia challenge for the Spirit Championship? Does Alicia have a partner for the tag team championships? One thing is for sure, WSU will be at the ACE arena on 1/15, one week before our own iPPV in the very same building. Expect fireworks to fly!!!

On her decision to leave wrestling and TNA, she said:
She told us: “I’m not just leaving TNA, I’m retiring from wrestling and going back to school.
“I have nothing but good things to say about TNA. If it wasn’t for my experiences there I wouldn’t be the person I am today.
“But the way things were going, I just felt I needed a change. With the state of the company and the way they were using me, there wasn’t a lot for me to keep me going either.
“I’ve done a lot of the things I wanted to do, and there aren’t many opportunities left for me.”

TNA Knockouts Champion, Madison Rayne gave an indepth interview to Brian Fritz at Fanhouse touching on a number of topics including whether she felt the Knockouts division had lost its luster, the additions of Mickie James and Tara to the division and her thoughts on Awesome Kong signing with WWE.
Rayne says she never felt the Knockouts experienced a lull, contrary to what many fans and critics felt. She says:
Yeah, there’s been some ups and downs with the changing faces in the division but I never saw what other people did when they said it was lacking and that there was a shortage of talent or whatever it was they were using to describe the time there when we had a couple of people leaving and a couple new people coming in. I’ve always thought that the Knockouts division had a lot of potential and a lot of incredible talent more so now than ever I think. There’s a lot of new faces and a lot of people that the fans are familiar with but haven’t necessarily seen interact with other girls. So, wrestling fans are getting faces and new storylines to follow and new people to see in the ring together. It’s exciting for all of us and I think it’s equally exciting for everyone watching.
Thoughts: In my opinion, the division was lacking for a good while — especially for the first half of 2010. I do think the division has found its feet in recent months with Mickie James and Tara in the forefront. Hopefully things can progress going into 2011. Frankly, I feel Sarita should be in the title picture also.

Last year, we announced the launch of the Diva Dirt Legacy Award, an annual prize that will honor the career achievements and legacies left behind by some of the industry’s finest female talents. Launched in conjunction with the Female Fight League, our first recipient was none other than the multi-talented 7-time Women’s Champion, Trish Stratus.
From her hard work in the ring, to her charm and charisma, her connection with the fans, as well as her shrewd business nature, Trish was — as good ol’ JR used to put it — the quintessential Diva during her seven years with WWE. No female in this industry has able to market themselves quite like Trish, who remains a hot commodity despite retiring nearly five years ago.
While we tip our hats to Trish by honoring her with this award, a few of Trish’s friends and colleagues wanted to join the celebration too!

TNA Knockout and former WWE Women’s Champion, Mickie James is featured in the latest issue of Richmond Magazine, based in her hometown of Richmond, Virginia.
The piece is an extremely well-written, in-depth article on James’ road to becoming a wrestler and does a great job in covering pretty much her entire career. Giving fans a look at the woman behind the wrestler, the piece also features comments from Mickie’s best friend and even TNA president Dixie Carter.
Perhaps most interestingly, is James telling a story of how she pitched a storyline to Vince McMahon directly before she was called up in 2005:
Finally, she’d had enough. Realizing she was lacking something the WWE wanted, James enrolled in acting and modeling classes. She also wrote a script — an ambitious storyline about an emotional female fan/stalker. WWE liked the idea and wanted their writers to develop it for another wrestler already in the TV stable, but in a gutsy move, James made an impassioned plea directly to WWE CEO Vince McMahon.
“I walked right into Vince’s office and I said, ‘Mr. McMahon, I heard you read my storyline, and I wanted you to know there’s nobody who can do that character better than me.’ ”
McMahon told her he respected her for having the courage to make the pitch to him.
Then another six months passed.
“I was like, ‘Oh, no, what did I do?’ ” James recalls.
