I know,understand and realize that it has been a VERY LONG
time since my last blog and for that,I am truly and terribly sorry.
However,I am back in action,back behind the keyboard once again to write my latest blog.
This particular blog
is another in my continuing saga literary prose known as The Indy Diva Profile and the lady that will be featured in this profile
is none other than a very good,dear friend of mine,a very beautiful lady and a very talented female wrestler on the independent wrestling circuit and that lady is none other than ZIP !
The Zipster,as I like to refer to her,was born,raised and still resides in Pensacola,Florida;which was originally the home and birthplace the home to many wrestling greats including the late Ricky Gibson,
his brother,Robert Gibson,1/2 of the great,legendary and very popular tag team,The Rock N' Roll Express
and the spiritual,cocky,brash,charismatic leader of the legendary tag team known as The Fabulous Freebirds;one of my personal childhood wrestling idols,Michael
"P.S." Hayes.
Zip's inspiration of becoming a professional wrestler was "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
Austin's character;the aura and presence about him,his "take no prisoners" type of attitude,his style of wrestling and his ability to control the wrestling crowd was what really inspired her.
Zip started her career in the Pensacola Wrestling Alliance (PWA) where she was trained by its owner,professional wrestler Bobby Doll.
Then she moved on to another wrestling organization on northwest Florida called XW-2000 where she was trained by local indy wrestler Ronnie Fargo,
the grandson of legendary wrestler Don Fargo,and by the legendary Sika (pictured on the right).
Sika,along with his brother Afa,
made up the tag team known as The Wild Samoans.
Throughout their illustrious wrestling career,The Wild Samoans held an unprecedented record of 22 tag team championships around the world;including 3 times as WWWF World Tag Team Champions.
This dominant tag team made a career of not only winning tag team championships,but
by brutalizing and destroying any and every tag team that ever stood in their path!
Zip is
a very skilled wrestler that knows several basic wrestling holds and various submission maneuvers.
But,
she is at her very best and certainly at her most dangerous when it comes to
staight up brawling fisticuffs and low down and dirty rough housing type action as a devilish,villanious heel.
Zip has wrestled in numerous one-on-one ladies matches and in intergender tag team matches.
However,BELIEVE IT OR NOT,according to The Zipster,her favorite type of wrestling match is hardcore.
She likes
hardcore matches because those are the type of matches that you never would ever think of getting up from and then,somehow the following day you're perfectly fine.
Zip says that hardcore matches show how much one wrestler can do in a match of that volatile nature and proving to oneself just how much punishment one can take as well as proving one's toughness.
Believe me,webheads,take it from me,from one who has seen Zip compete in action throughout the last 3 years in all type of matches including this one.
THIS LADY IS DEFINITELY ONE WHO CAN HOLD HER OWN IN ANY TYPE OF WRESTLING MATCH !!!
In Part Two in my Indy Diva profile on the Zipster,I will be chronicling her time
at the Independent Wrestling Council (IWC),where she began her off and on,never ending feud against her long-time arch rival and toughest competitor,Dixie.
GET READY,WEBHEADS because this episodic saga of Zip is only going to get better from here!
UNTIL NEXT TIME,WEBHEADS.....
