In Review: “Quick Shootin’ with Allison Danger”

by

Amidst the recent buzz about some of the recent shoot interviews that have been released, I went through my DVD collection and decided to rewatch “Quick Shootin’ With Allison Danger.”

In January of 2008, Allison Danger sat down with Strong Style Productions in Ireland to conduct a very detailed and story filled shoot interview. The title may be called “Quick Shootin’ With Allison Danger,” but this interview is anything but quick. It almost hits the 4 hour mark with a total run time of 3 hours and 42 minutes. But fret not! Ms Danger has done enough globe trotting and has so many memorable stories to share that you are able to stay interested through out the whole entire interview.

The interview starts off with questions that help us get to know Allison Danger as a person and a wrestler. Her love for the business comes out the most during this portion of the interview as she passionately speaks about some of the problems women encounter in the world of professional wrestling and how mainstream wrestling has had an unfortunate effect on how the fans look at independent wrestling.

For all you girls out there who are aspiring to become a wrestler in the future, Allison offers some very wise and valuable advice to make sure that you know what you’re getting yourself into and what to expect when you do get into the business.

In Review: “Fight Hard! The Allison Danger Story”

by

Keeping in line with the SHIMMER weekend festivities, Diva Dirt recently reviewed co-founder, Allison Danger’s documentary. Read our review below:

Like the shoot interview that accompanied it, “Fight Hard! Allison Danger Story” is a truly rare gem that each women’s wrestling fan should have in their collection. Produced by the same crew and in the same hotel where the shoot interview was held, Allison takes the viewers through a 2 hour and 15 minute journey into her world inside the business where she watched her brother reach the ultimate achievement in ECW, breaking into the business, and becoming one of the most well known and respected female wrestlers in independent wrestling today.

It would be a complete understatement to say that every aspect was Allison’s career was covered. She starts the documentary off by spending a good amount of time speaking on her life before the business, giving an insight into her childhood and her time in high school. Things really begin to get interesting when her brother, Steve Corino, gets signed to then-cult company, ECW. With no aspirations to become a wrestler, Allison fills in for the Sandman’s valet one night and becomes instantly hooked.

From then on, she hits the ground running at ROH by becoming a manager for the Christopher Street Connection and eventually being paired with Christopher Daniels and filling the female void in the Prophecy. She also talks about going to TNA in Nashville for a match where shortly after she flew to Japan to fill in for Daffney, who was then signed by the WWE.

Results from Kong vs Martinez at EVOLVE 5 + Video Interview with Martinez

by

SHIMMER isn’t the only promotion in action this weekend, as WSU presented a blockbuster title match-up between Awesome Kong and Mercedes Martinez at EVOLVE 5 in Rahway, New Jersey. Results below courtesy of WSU:

September 2010 has been a great month so far for WSU World Champion Mercedes Martinez. Martinez, the greatest women’s wrestler in the world today, continued to show why she’s one of the best last night at EVOLVE, in a match part of WSU’s “On The Road” DVD series. Several days before this match took place, Martinez was ranked #3 in Pro Wrestling Illustrated’s “Top 50 Females of Wrestling”. This has always been a list compiled mostly of WWE & TNA women. Mercedes Martinez broke another barrier in women’s wrestling, and was the highest ranked independent wrestler on the list. While WSU fans understand that WWE & TNA women can not be ignored, many fans are saying that Martinez should have been number 1. However, fans will be happy to know that Martinez has dominated PWI’s weekly & monthly rankings at the number 1 spot, and is currently ranked number 1 in the world by PWI magazine.

Being the best women’s wrestler in the world and defending the biggest prize in womens wrestling today has been no easy feat for Martinez. In over an 18 month title reign, Martinez has had to turn back the challenges of the likes of Mickie James, Angel Orsini, Portia Perez, Hailey Hatred, Rain, Alicia, Angelina Love, Nikki Roxx, Brittney Savage, Melissa Coates, Amber O’Neal, Bombshell Bo & countless others. Martinez is the biggest target in womens wrestling today because she holds the most prestigious championship in all of womens wrestling today – the WSU World Championship, the most defended women’s championship in the United States today. It is easy to have long title reigns when champions are inactive, but in 18 months, Martinez has defended the World Championship a record 30 times, averaging almost 2 title matches a month during this span!

As part of WSU’s working relationship with Dragongate USA, Mercedes Martinez joined EVOLVE wrestling and quickly compiled a 4-0 record, defeating Niya, Sumie Sakai, Brittney Savage & Tina San Antonio. However, after each match, Martinez kept asking for more competition. She begged for the best. On 9/11/10, she got it, in the form of “Awesome” Amazing Kong. If Martinez was to defeat Kong, Martinez would’ve successfully defended the championship for the 30th time.

SHIMMER Volume 33
1. Jessica James & Rachel Summerlyn def. Athena & Bonesaw Jessie Brooks. Rachel and Jessica win with a gory bomb/stunner combo on Athena. Good match by all the girls. Athena was the standout. Her moveset and spoiled brat gimmick is very entertaining.

2. Cat Power def. Jamilia Craft. tCat Power wins via uranage slam. Very slow paced match-up. Not the best showing from either girl, but a decent match.

Melissa appears on screen and calls out Eagles. Says she’s tired of getting screwed out of the title. Says she going home with gold tonight.

5. Misaki Ohata def. Ariel. Ohata wins by submission. Surpisingly good match. Best I’ve seen Ariel in a long time. Misaki pulled out several submissions during the match-up.

Kellie Skater comes out and challenges anyone in the locker room. Her challenge is answered by Serena!!!

6. Serena def. Kellie Skater. Serena via spear. Skater dominated after Serena misses a spear in the corner, but makes the comeback in the end. The crowd goes wild and chants ‘Welcome back!’ Serena celebrates with the fans and looks very emotional. Very touching moment.

SmackDown Redux (September 10th, 2010): It’s Raining Segments. Diva Ones That Is!

by

Hello readers and welcome to a brand new era here in Diva Dirt land. As of this week, yours truly is now the official SmackDown Redux writer. Exciting, right? As someone who never gets a chance to watch SmackDown thanks to the fact it’s not available as of yet in Podunk, Alabama, and because I never have the extra time, I’m really looking forward to covering the blue brand. I’m just going to jump right into things tonight so without further a do, lets get things going!

The Diva portions of SmackDown were raped tonight with segments, not that I’m complaining. First up, are Laycool who are backstage with Kaval.

Michelle McCool and Layla are backstage talking with Kaval sitting behind them. Michelle brings up the fact that she thinks it’s hilarious Teddy Long feels that Layla is the only one who is able to face Melina at Night of Champions. Layla agrees and the girls practically sing the phrase, “Teddy Long… always wrong!” Layla beams and says that Teddy has no idea about that tiny little clause in their contract. Michelle smiles in agreement and says that it’s thanks to Vickie. Layla says that they’re going to keep Lady Wa- wa guessing. Kaval is looking at them every now and then, by the way. It’s one of those moments where he is trying to be a good boyfriend and listen, but really, all he cares about is his upcoming match.

Anyway, Michelle tells Layla to picture the expression on Melina’s face when she steps inside the ring. Layla basically tells Michelle to stop the presses because she’s the one who is facing Melina at Night of Champions. Michelle disagrees and this leads to an argument between the two BFFs. Kaval is shaking his head in the background and finally he interrupts the little fight before it can turn personal. He politely asks both ladies to cool it because he has his first match tonight on SmackDown and he needs to concentrate. He tells them that he can’t even hear himself think because all he hears is whining. He makes some hilarious high-pitched whining noises to emphasis this point. Laycool are not amused.

WWE Superstars Redux (September 9, 2010): A Shattered Dreams Production Starring Gail Kim and Jillian

by

This week on Superstars, we have our first look at the new NXT rookies accompanying their Pros in a mixed tag match. We have Goldust (accompanied by Aksana) pairing up with Gail Kim going head to head with Primo (accompanied by AJ Lee) teaming with Jillian. Definitely a possibility of interference by the rookies, but will it happen? Will the winning streak started on Tuesday be continued by Primo and everybody’s favorite Songstress Jillian? Or can will a new Shattered Dreams production break the box office? Lets find out!

(Quick note: If you didn’t see William Regal’s rap at the beginning of the program, seek it out! It was funny as hell and he even tried to “groove” whilst rapping! If Jillian can get an iTunes album, I think Regal should have one of his own. Now back to our Divas report!)

Out first is the (somewhat odd) pairing of Goldust and Gail Kim, with Aksana at his side. Quite a good reaction for this team! Gail is in her lovely lavander gear while Aksana is staying with her pro’s colors, a black top and pants with leopard print trimming. She’s stunning, no doubt about it. Next out is Primo and Jillian, accompanied by AJ Lee.  Jillian’s sporting her usual outfit but this time it’s sea green – very nice color on her! AJ’s in a purple top and black shorts, very bouncy and energetic. The rookies exit the ring as the bell chimes, and it’s Primo and Goldust starting things off.

In Review: Pro-Wrestling: EVE’s “Episode 4: A New Hope (Chapter 1)”

by

May 2010 saw the launch of Europe’s very own all-female wrestling promotion to sit alongside the likes of SHIMMER, WSU and Femmes Fatales which have cornered the US and Canadian market in the past few years. Coming from former ChickFight producer, Dann Read, it was evident that EVE would be no flash in the pan based on the success of ChickFight’s transatlantic shows in the UK a few years back.

‘Episode 4: A New Hope (Chapter 1)’, a long winded title as it may be, is the first the DVD release from the Suffolk, England-based promotion, with a promise of spotlighting the best of Europe. The title is pretty confusing, especially for a fledgling company trying to work up an audience. “If this is episode four, where are the first three?” is one question that I suspect may be asked often. Then there’s the ‘Chapter 1’ sub-sub-title. To clarify on that, two DVDs worth of footage were filmed on May 8th, which I’m presuming is why this is ‘Chapter 1’, with ‘Chapter 2’ to follow.

The theme for the DVD is a spoof of Star Wars, a unique approach by a wrestling promotion, which should set it apart from the SHIMMERs and WSUs. The DVD artwork and opening of the show both bear a nod to Star Wars (complete with scrolling text going up the screen!), which while indeed camp, kitsch and silly, are pretty befitting of British humour and I likened it to the old ‘Carry On’ films that are very quintessentially British.
