WRESTLERS MASK

2010-03-10T02:44:00.000-08:00

Professional masks are the same quality used by actual wrestlers. These masks are amazing. An average of 6 - 10 hours of work is put into each professional grade mask. We can usually get these made for you in about 6-10 weeks. That includes any wrestler's mask that we have on file or any customized mask that you wish to draw up. You can even switch the colors on an existing design to create a totally different look to your mask. If you want to customize your own, you'll need to mail or FAX us a drawing (include notations for colors) of your design. Prices start at $65.00 for custom masks. You can include measurements for exact fittings. We need measurements of your neck/collar (High-Collar) and the circumference around your head in order to fit you perfectly. Lucha libre has a unique Ring tradition. Masks, character identities, and related honor aside, Mexican fighters are traditionally more agile, throw exotic moves that would challenge any circus acrobat, and play the crowds better than anyone. Lucha libre has several different weight classes, many catered to smaller agile fighters who can start in the Ring in their early to mid teens.

WRESTLERS VS BOXER HISTORY

2010-03-09T09:21:00.000-08:00

Despite sharing a nearly identical workspace and having spent decades under the jurisdiction of the same state legislative bodies, boxing and wrestling are worlds apart. There have been many attempts over the years to see who would win a battle of wresting and boxing. The answer is that the fans have typically been the losers.In the history of professional ring wars, boxing and wrestling, there have been a few historic crossovers, matches between the two sports that have drawn great public attention. For the most part, these have been staged events, which were choreographed and the outcomes planned before the event. But on several occasions, it was the real deal, where a boxer and a wrestler fought it out.

MELINA

2010-03-05T08:20:00.000-08:00

Melina Perez was born on March 9, 1979 in Los Angeles, California.

Unlike the other ladies I have listed so far, Melina actually came up through the ranks as a wrestler, and a good one at that. Her dream was finally realized in 2003, when WWE signed her in San Diego. A few Women's Championship reigns later, Melina is still a force to be reckoned with in the women's division. She credits the experience of training hard with both men and women for making her tougher and stronger. You simply must take the hits and keep on going.

NANCY BENOIT

2010-03-03T03:43:00.000-08:00

In 1989, she appeared in the crowd as Robin Greene. Robin was portrayed as a plain girl that also happened to be the biggest fan of Rick Steiner. The two started dating. She was given an image makeover by the Steiner's manager Missy Hyatt. With this makeover, she was transformed into Woman and quickly turned on the Steiner Brothers. She managed the team of Doom (Ron Simmons and Butch Reed) and hired a bodyguard named Nitron to ensure the demise of the Steiner Brothers.
The Wikinews investigation is unable to conclude whether the anonymous editors had inside information about the death of Nancy Benoit.

This is not the first time Benoit's article has been edited to show false or unsourced information, as the article's edit history indicates a long history of promotional spam and vandalism. Around the time of the edits, the article contained a hidden warning to editors of the section mentioned, warning against adding rumours and speculations. For the time being, Benoit's article has been protected in an attempt to stop the addition of fraudulent information.

NEW WRESTLEMANIA

2010-02-24T18:37:00.000-08:00

After John Cena won the WWE Championship before subsequently losing it to Batista, it became clear that Triple H would not be in a title match at WrestleMania for the first time in years.World Wrestling Entertainment spokesman Robert Zimmerman said Tuesday that the wrestler, whose real name is Mark Calaway, is fine. In fact, he wrestled after being burned Sunday night during a live pay-per-view event at the Scottrade Center and was back in the ring for WWE's "Raw" show on Monday.There is little chance it can live up to the first match from last year. It is possible, but these two stars are another year older and very close to retirement.

FEMALE WRESTLERS FOR HIRE

2010-02-13T02:26:00.000-08:00

The main reason why the WWE Sucks now because they focus more on entertainment than wrestling. What is ironic is the fact that most of their arguments and parodies anyway garbage. For example, Donald vs. Rosie. TNA On the other hand, focuses more on action and its arguments are fascinating and believe. WWE underated his real talent as Shelton, Carlito, Matt Hardy, etc. for bodybuilders and see. Hence we see, or men dominate Batista, Cena, Lashley, TNA wrestlers are working hard to rent, etc., and have shown good wrestlers WWE account settings an independent body builders from the beach and in OVW, so that they can learn how to use a key to make. Rent WWE fight schemes for employees. WWE is not really a woman, a computer, a cruiserweight division. WWE does not give all their fighters a chance to shine as the TNA. His show revolves around world title. TNA is a promotion, the fans what they want there.

WRESTLER WHO KILLED HIS FAMILY

2010-02-11T17:48:00.000-08:00

FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. - Pro wrestler Chris Benoit strangled his wife, suffocated his 7-year-old son and placed a Bible next to their bodies before hanging himself with a weight-machine pulley, authorities said Tuesday.Investigators found anabolic steroids in the house and want to know whether the muscle man nicknamed “The Canadian Crippler” was unhinged by the bodybuilding drugs, which can cause paranoia, depression and explosive outbursts known as “roid rage.”McDevitt said the wrestling organization learned from the couple's friends and relatives that the Benoits were trying to determine where to send the boy to school since he had recently finished kindergarten. He also said Benoit's wife didn't want him to quit wrestling, but she "wanted him to be at home more to care for Daniel." She would say she could not take care of him by herself when Benoit was on the road.Benoit's 43-year-old wife was killed Friday in an upstairs family room, her feet and wrists were bound and there was blood under her head, indicating a possible struggle, Ballard said. Daniel was probably killed late Saturday or early Sunday, the body found in his bed, the district attorney said.Benoit, 40, apparently hanged himself several hours and as long as a day later, Ballard said. His body was found in a downstairs weight room, his body found hanging from the pulley of a piece of exercise equipment.

WRESTLER'S HEART ATTACK

2010-02-11T04:01:00.000-08:00

The amount of activity you can do after a heart attack will be based on the condition of your heart. Your doctor will work with you to develop a recovery plan. Most people can return to work and the activities they enjoy within a few months of having a heart attack. Others may have to limit their activity if the heart muscle is very weak.
A heart attack usually causes severe pain in the centre of the chest. The pain lasts for more than 15 minutes, and may last for many hours. The pain usually feels like a heaviness or tightness which may also spread to the arms, neck, jaw, face, back or stomach. In some cases the pain may be mistaken for indigestion. There may also be sweating, light-headedness, nausea or shortness of breath. A heart attack may cause the rhythm of the heart to become disturbed.
Fatu had just returned home after being part of the “Hulkamania Tour” in Australia.
He was let go by the WWE last June.Fatu's death came as a shock to industry observers like James Caldwell, who writes for Pro Wrestling Torch, a Web site that covers the pro-wrestling business. In Australia, people had said Fatu was looking healthy and strong, Caldwell said.“One of the biggest factors is everybody liked him. Everybody from top to bottom said he was a good guy,” Caldwell said.Pro wrestling has been plagued by the premature deaths of stars in recent years. Dozens have died before the age of 60.

WRESTLER UMAGA

2010-02-06T02:49:00.000-08:00

Eki “Eddie” Fatu died in Houston on Friday after a massive heart attack, adding to a long list of professional wrestlers who died by the age of 40.Born in American Samoa, Fatu, 36, was a member of the famous Anoa'i wrestling family, which includes cousin Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, his two uncles, who wrestled as The Wild Samoans in the 1980s, and brothers, Sam "Tonga Kid" and Solofa Jr. "Rikishi," according to Wrestlers Rescue, a support group for retired professional wrestlers.Fatu, who was memorable for his distinct facial tattoos, comes from a large family of Samoan wrestlers who have influenced the business for several generations, beginning with his uncles, the brother combination of Afa and Sika Anoi’a, who formed a successful act known as “The Wild Samoans” in the 1970s and ’80s. The most famous member of the clan is cousin Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who left wrestling for Hollywood fame.
Edward “Umaga” Fatu will be greatly missed in not only the wrestling world, in Panther Nation, and in his community, but by those he loved most, his family…our thoughts and prayers go out to them.

WRESTLERS TRAINING

2010-02-03T02:34:00.000-08:00

A major consideration for wrestlers is weight management. Rapid weight loss to make a weight category has profound adverse effects on the wrestler's physiology, particularly in relation to strength endurance. Both nutritional and training techniques can help to minimize any weight reduction required in the first place and also to minimize the negative effects of rapid weight loss.

WRESTLEMANIA

2010-02-02T17:52:00.000-08:00

Wrestlemania, the granddaddy of them all when it comes to Wrestling Events, is the greatest spectacle for Professional Wrestling. Going 21 years strong, Wrestlemania set the precedent as the Superbowl of Wrestling with its first card in 1984. The event showcases the best wrestling has to offer along with various celebrities and musical performances. The brainchild of Vince McMahon Jr., Wrestlemania continues to be a huge success in its 21st year.

The first WrestleMania was held by the World Wrestling Federation on March 31, 1985 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.The main event was a tag-team match between the WWF Champion Hulk Hogan and Mr.T, accompanied by Jimmy Snuka against the team of Roddy Piper and Paul Orndorff, who were accompanied by Cowboy Bob Orton. The financial and critical success of the event secured the company's status as the most successful promoter in the United States, rising above competitors such as the National Wrestling Alliance and American Wrestling Association.Wrestle Mania 2 was held the following year and took place in three venues across the country. The Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale,New York, the Rosemont Horizon in Rosemont,Illinois, and the Los Angeles Memirial Sports Arena in Los Angeles, California each featured multiple matches that led up to the lead main event which saw the WWF Champion Hulk Hogan defeat the challenger King Kong Bundy in a steel cage match.

BAD WRESTLERS

2010-02-01T02:55:00.000-08:00

The rumored gimmick battle royal at Wrestlemania next week will be amazing if it comes off, attracting the attention of anyone who's had even a passing interest in professional wrestling over the past 20 years. Imagine a current match featuring Sgt. Slaughter, "PS" Michael Hayes, the Iron Shiek, Nikolai Volkoff, the Gobbeldy Gooker, The Bushwackers, and Doink the Clown. It might not be a spotfest or a non-stop brawl, but the nostalgia factor would be incredible.Bad entrance music can stifle the career prospects of a mighty wrestler and great entrance music sometimes makes even a mediocre wrestler iconic. Likewise, great talkers usually trump hulked-up faces and skilled jobbers. Rowdy Roddy Piper, Jake The Snake, and Double A wrestled their whole careers in the shadow of lesser talent and never won the belt.

TOTAL NONSTOP ACTION (TNA) WRESTLING

2010-01-30T09:44:00.000-08:00

The original TNA business model differed from that employed by WWE in several key ways. By not touring like other major companies had done, TNA could keep costs down. Until the introduction of the syndicated show, TNA Xplosion, in late 2002, TNA's weekly pay-per-view show operated as the company's main source of revenue, in place of monthly pay-per-view events used by other promotions.These shows started on June 19, 2002 and were held mostly at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds in Nashville to lower production costs.After 27 months, TNA felt that they had a fanbase that would support three-hour pay-per-views and ceased their weekly shows on September 8, 2004.TNA held its first three-hour monthly pay-per-view, Victory Road, on November 7, 2004.Just like WWE Professional wrestling has its "WWE Divas" female wrestlers, its competitor Total Nonstop Action has its own wrestling women. The TNA women wrestlers are known as the TNA Knockouts. The Knockouts are a sexy yet tough bunch of women's wrestlers featuring some of the craziest and most beautiful women on the planet! They include femme fatales such as Christy Hemme, Angelina Love, Velvet Sky, Madison Rayne, Taylor Wilde, Tara, Sarita, Traci Brooks and Sharmelle!

WOMEN'S WRESTLERS SUCCESSFUL

2010-01-30T03:03:00.000-08:00

There are many things that make women's wrestling successful.The main thing that attracts a viewer,though is the "women" part of it.Men and women work very differently.Physically,mentally,overall men and women are different.The inclusion of women’s wrestling in the Olympics beginning in 2004 provided a huge boost to the sport’s popularity and credibility. Five thousand girls nationwide wrestled in high school in the 2006-7 academic year, yet only eight colleges offer it as a varsity sport. Three of those eight programs are starting this fall.

SUMO WRESTLING

2010-01-24T17:50:00.000-08:00

Wrestling is a popular sport that dates back many thousands of years.

Sumo wrestling's popularity quickly spread, becoming a more public and widespread event. Matches were usually brutal, the loser often expected to forfeit his life. By the 7th century Sumo had fallen under the protection of the warring Shogunite regime and was largely banned as a public spectacle.

Only the samurai, or warrior class, were allowed to practice it as part of their military training.The basic rules of sumo are simple: the wrestler who first touches the ground with anything besides the soles of his feet, or who leaves the ring before his opponent, loses. Fights take place on an elevated ring, called a "dohyo", which is made of clay and covered in a layer of sand. The fights themselves usually last only a few seconds, or in rare cases, about a minute.

JELLO WRESTLING

2010-01-24T04:38:00.000-08:00

What is Jello Wrestling?
Basically it is a container like a wading pool filled with jelly and two or more people wrestle in it.
Jello wrestling is as fun to watch as it is to participate in. Hosting an event can make a great fundraiser or make an otherwise ordinary get-together anything but. Sure, it involves a great deal of mess, but some see that as the hallmark of any great party.Jello Wrestling is a very fun thing to watch but girls think twice before volunteering to hold an event as you get to clean up the mess. Another quick tip - girls unless you want to bare all, wear a tight fitting T shirt or top as it is sooo slippery.

WRESTLING JOKES

2010-01-23T20:06:00.000-08:00

A blind man goes into a ladies bar, sat at the bar he turns to the woman next to him and says "Do you want to hear a blonde joke?"
The woman replies "As you are blind I feel its only fair to warn you, this is a ladies bar, I'm blonde and a champion at karate, my two friends are blonde and are professional wrestlers and the barmaid is blonde. Now do you really want to tell that joke?"
The blind man thinks for a moment....
"No, I don't want to have to explain it four times."
Q:How many vince mcmahon's dos it take to change a light bulb?

The English man jumped off and shouted ''God Save England!'' The Sumo wrestler jumped off and shouted ''God save the person who I land on!''

WOMEN WRESTLERS MAKE MONEY

2010-01-22T21:04:00.000-08:00

“At the collegiate level women’s wrestling is an ideal choice for creating new opportunities for women. In fact, women’s wrestling fits the NCAA criteria for emerging sports programs. Many schools that support a men’s wrestling program are out of compliance with Title IX - and money is always a factor. Adding women’s wrestling to an athletic program can save the athletic budget alot of money. Think about it. The coaches, the equipment, and the facilities are all in place. All that is needed is singlets and travel expenses. Economically it is the smart choice.”
Most matches take place in hotel rooms, and many men book the same women repeatedly. Requests fall into four categories—submissive wrestling, for men who want to be pinned; pure wrestling, which involves more back-and-forth; body worship, in which the man rubs oil on the woman and admires her body; and the least common, combative wrestling, in which the man tries to win.

WOMEN WRESTLERS BODY

2010-01-20T18:07:00.000-08:00

Convincing a wrestler to do some lifting for their upper bodies a few times a week isn’t too difficult, especially if they are getting muscled around during matches. However, more often than not they fall into the same trap most people do- they don’t switch the exercises they’re performing every few weeks to prevent plateaus. Rotating your exercises every three to five weeks will help to ensure that your training doesn’t reach stagnation. With that, here are some upper body movements you may not have heard about before that you should consider working into your training.Wrestling is a male-dominated sport in terms of participation, commonly perceived as a masculine sport due to the requirement of muscular strength, courage, fighting spirit, as well as and the element of combat. Integral to achieving wrestling skills and physical capability is muscularity, something which may contradict common perceptions of feminine body appearance. The objective of this study is to examine female elite wrestlers' enactment of the wrestler's role and how they experienced enhancement of skills and bodily structure. This was done by means of a qualitative interview of eight Norwegian elite wrestlers comprising four females and four males in the age group 17 to 32 years. Since the wrestlers practice in a mixed gender setting the males were included as being part of the interaction. The study revealed different ways in which the female wrestlers were doing femininity which also seemed to be contextually bound. This was particularly related to strength training and overall performance as wrestlers. The seniors had apparently accepted strenuous strength training and big muscles, whereas the juniors were `holding back' giving priority to the `private body'. The seniors had accepted the `athletic body' and muscularity with its social costs.

WRESTLING GROUND

2010-01-19T02:14:00.000-08:00

Rajashri shahu Kashbag wrestling ground is on west side of Keshvrao Bhosale Drama theatre..It is used for wrestling competitions surrounding the main westing area there is open space for 15 to 2000 spectactors. There are total five gates for entering into this wrestling ground.

Combining sporting prowess and fabulous music, the promising "Wrestling Ground" (L'APPEL DES ARENES) dramatically demonstrates the cultural importance of wrestling in Senegal. The atmosphere is highly charged from the get-go as 19-year-old Nalla (Abdoul Aziz Ndiaye) is chased by several muggers in the daylit streets of his well-to-do Dakar suburb. Wrestling champ Andre (Moustapha Gueye), fixing his truck near the crime scene, intervenes in the melee and intimidates the thieves into returning Nalla's property.The film's second half is both enchanting and edifying with its representations and explanations of the importance of spirituality, music and tradition in Senegalese wrestling.

MIXED SEX WRESTLING

2010-01-16T09:04:00.000-08:00

The WWF has done well, however, with their angles with Chyna. They have given her a chance to move slowly up the ranks and built angles around here while not at the expense of Triple H. She has made angles for herself and wrestled men in arguably some very good matches. Same could be said about Sable. They built angles around her but this time they were at the expense of her husband Marc Mero. Now we all know what happened with Mero. Because of his wife's popularity, he was used as a way to enhance her ring skills, which she sorely lacked. Then we have Debra, who is not a wrestler but at one time held the women's title. I see that as degrading the women's title. But some people say that the women's title was only used as a prop so the WWF would have a reason to put Sable on TV more and more. Now Ivory holds the women's title. Now Ivory is a credible wrestler who we can also see can work the mic and give decent interviews. I think they are going in the right direction with Ivory except they have too much time between her interviews and psuedo matches with planted women wrestlers. They need to have consistency. Or else women wrestlers are gonna fade away to being just valets.Wrestling contests between men and women strike symbolically at the heart of the compact that should govern relations between the sexes. Mixed-sex contests desensitize boys to the need to behave with respect toward girls at all times. In addition, they promote a double standard that is sure to prompt cynicism and resentment on the part of male wrestlers. Boys know instinctively that it's unfair to permit one wrestler (the girl) to choose whether she wishes to grapple intimately with a member of the opposite sex, while forcing the other (the boy) to do so against his will.
