Women’s Wrestling Season is Upon Us – A Guide to What’s Coming in the Next Two Months

March 1st is here and so kicks off what we have dubbed ‘Women’s Wrestling Season’. Rather coincidentally, the next couple of months will feature a slew of female wrestling promotions returning to action — or as the case may be, debuting. Throw in WrestleMania as well, and the two months ahead are looking rather busy!

It all kicks off this weekend when WSU presents it’s fourth anniversary show live on Internet pay per view. Then, throughout the month we will also see SHIMMER, NCW Femmes Fatales and the debut of Allison Danger’s Pro Wrestling SUN.

April will see a two night return for Europe’s Pro-Wrestling: EVE. And lest we forget ‘Mania?

A complete guide after the jump!

EVE, SHIMMER Promoters Speak on the Value of All Female Promotions in Pro Wrestling

In light of a situation with one of the Pro-Wrestling: EVE talents (who is no longer part of the roster as a result) that emerged over the weekend, EVE promoter Dann Read issued a statement about all-female promotions and where they stand in pro wrestling. Today, SHIMMER founder, Dave Prazak also weighed in.

As background context to that ‘situation’, on Friday night, the official EVE Twitter page posted the following: “Has been called ‘bad for the wrestling business’ as apparently we’re sexist. Any opinions? Are we as an all female wrestling company sexist?”

Later, they followed up with this tweet: “A member of the EVE roster agrees with the allegations thrown at us. Sadly this is not ‘a work’ thus this person is no longer a part of EVE.” You can read two more tweets here and here.

And now, Dann & Dave’s comments below.

Dann Read, the Producer of Europe’s Pro-Wrestling:EVE, issued the below statement this past week.

Pro-Wrestling:EVE is committed to the progression of Professional Female Wrestling throughout Europe. The next few months will be telling as we separate those who believe in women’s wrestling from those who don’t and find out who’s passion for the female industry matches our own. Everyone must be on the same page and everyone must be committed to their own improvement.

Pro-Wrestling:EVE works alongside some of the very best in the women’s wrestling industry and supports the efforts of those doing the very same thing such as SHIMMER, Female Fight League, NCW – Femmes Fatales, ChickFight & many others around the world in addition to those who give coverage and support to the female wrestling business such as Diva-Dirt.com, CapruredBeauty.com, RedHotDivas.com, Wrestlegasm.com, WrestlingFusion.com, (there are so many I’m sorry if I haven’t mentioned you, send me messages on twitter and I’ll #FF to make up for it!).

We support them, they support us, we all support each other and we all have the same dreams and goals.

Ayumi Kurihara, Cheerleader Melissa, Hamada & Serena vs Sara Del Rey, Madison Eagles, Tomoka Nakagawa & Daizee Haze.

4. Leva Bates def. Cat Power with a roll up. Leva is extremely over and has oodles of potential.

SPARKLE
Maya Svensson def. Mia Yim. Maya wins with a gut wrench spinning powerbomb. Quick match but very good showing by both ladies.

SHIMMER Volume 35
1. Melanie Cruise def. Jessica James. Cruise wins after reversing a armbar submission into a modified powerbomb. Decent opening match.

2. Mercedes Martinez def. Misaki Ohata. Mercedes wins via fisherman buster. Insane, hardhitting match. Highlight of the match was Mercedes holding Ohata up for a full 30 second before hitting a brainbuster.

3. Tomoka Nakagawa and Daizee Haze def. Pretty Bitchin’ (Nikki Roxx and Ariel). Ariel and Nikki complimented DD Eric’s pink Power Ranger shirt pre-match. Nakagawa wins via rollup on Ariel after Haze spits water in her face. Nice, lengthy match-up. Haze and Nakagawa make a truly great heel team.

4. Allison Danger def. Veronika Vice via Shimmering Warlock. Way better match than yesterday. Afterwards, Danger brings DD Jennifer’s sign into the ring.

Amber interviews Jessie McKay backstage. She says she gonna take the title from Madison tonight.

Serena vs Portia next.

5. Portia Perez def. Serena via crossface submission. Pre-match Portia harrasses Jen, Eric and I (Steven) about our Power Rangers shirts. Serena reaches the ropes but the referee is distracted by Nicole Matthews and Perez locks it bad on and chokes Serena out. Awesome match from these two!
