Yesterday was a very releasing Save Wresting the Podcast as I opened up about my thoughts/feelings on custom wrestling, the struggles of being a female wrestler and of course Rant of the Week.  If you missed the live broadcast, no problemo!  Click the picture below to download!

I never posted the footage from a few tapings ago at CWF Hollywood.  Better late than never!  I really dislike that I'm such a nerd with a nervous tummy.  I am working on now allow others and their negative energy effect mine.  That is exactly what happened on this day.  Thank goodness I finally kicked out and let go of so much in the ring as I beat Todd Chandler with the kendo stick.  For those who couldn't attend check out hollywoodwrestling.com for updated episodes including the beating of Todd Chandler.

It was a bummer city deal that my amigos Manimal and Kevin Douglas were not at the tapings this time around.  At the last taping they brought so much life to my soul by simply being good amigos.  This taping was challenging with my bruised rib and I made it worse by no selling it in the ring.  Ricky and I had a handicap match against Todd Chandler and lets just say I completely ignored the fact I was injured.  It's been a bumpy road to recovery but I must say it was worth the discomfort.  Once again positive vibes to the fullest to Todd Chandler and Ricky Mandel for being there for me when Manimal and Kevin Douglas couldn't.  The positive energy they gave me is what got me through this day.

 

Make sure to tune into Save Wrestling the podcast and hear about how I injured my rib and how seeing Alice in Cooperland inspired my performance at CWF Hollywood.  The lovely Dazzling Danielle joined me this week and shared her CWF Hollywood experience!  Click on the picture below to hear all about our crazy Goonie adventure ;) 



 

 

I was having such a hard day dealing with my grandma's death and break up the only thing I wanted to do was have a glass of vino with Danielle and Mariah.  Well, thanks to Vendetta Pro I was able to accomplish it and the cherry on top was I got to perform.  I remember meeting Luna a few times and we totally connected.  We had great convo and took pics that I wish I had prints of :(  I'm sure I can find them online though!  I decided to do a remix of Ariel/Salinas and I must say nothing beat the remix :)  All the gals at the show were so positive and ready to kick booty.  Sometimes when you get that many girls in the locker room there can be tension but instead we all WANTED to work with each other.  Positive vibes to all the gals who participated in the Lunacy Cup tournament and congrats to Hudson Envy for her win!

In August Danielle and I made our Hoodslam return.  Brian Zombie joined us but I don't think he had a good time.  I hope I'm wrong.  I had caught an awful cold prior to going on our trip and as result you see the snotty nosed gal trying to tell the tale of Hoooooooooodslammmmmm.  I have always wanted to go to Andersen's but I think I need to revisit sans cold.  I had fun but I think it could've been more fun had I not felt like garbage.  Rumor has it that we will venture into Hoodslam-land in November and I think I just may have to make a pit stop for some pea soup the way I was meant to.  Until then...#FTF and yes that means YOU fan boy! #kayfabe

So I was organizing my video footage and I found this little gem from a few months ago at CWF Hollywood.  Since then we have changed our filming location but I sure did enjoy the Commerce Hotel and Casino!  I remember this day like it was yesterday, what a trip.  So much has changed in both mine and Danielle's life and revisiting this footage is a huge reminder of how much we have evolved.  It's important to realize that good, bad and uncomfortable situations held mold who you are.  As scripture says "Trust in The Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding." -Prov 3:5  Sometimes we think we are trusting in The Lord but we are actually leaning on our own understanding and that's when life can become frustrating.  You think you are doing all that you are supposed to yet feel stuck in a hole you can climb out of.  Often we lean on our own understanding so much that when we feel defeated and all we can do is throw our hands up in the air finally giving ourselves to The Lord.  We are human and are going to make mistakes so don't be hard on yourself if you have to go through darkness to reach the Light.  Most times you must learn to walk in the dark before you can reach Light and discover peace, Love, understand and compassion.  True Shalom.  Tomorrow is the next CWF Hollywood tapings and if you are in the Southern California are visit hollywoodwrestling.com for ticket information.  Not in the So Cal area?  No problem.  CWF Hollywood updates their site weekly with new episodes so make sure to keep checking back for some rasslin' action!
