Remembering a great musical icon and a legend JAMES BROWN 1933-2006


JAMES BROWN
1933-2006



He was known as:
"The Godfather Of Soul"
"The Hardest Working Man In Show Business"
"Mr. Dynamite"
"Soul Brother Number One"


Whatever you may have called him and whatever moniker you may have remmbered him by,truly without question,James Brown was all that and a bag of chips.

The entire world of music world has lost a tremendous talented singer,a musical icon and a legend as James Brown passed away.
I was very shocked and stunned when I saw the news this morning as I'm sure many others that has listened to his music over the years.

James Brown was truly one of a kind,an innovator who has inspired and influenced many of our great performers including the likes of Mick Jagger,Prince,Michael Jackson,Justin Timberlake and many,many others.

His work has been sampled numerous millions of times by many rap and hip-hop artists,i.e. "It Takes Two" by Rob Base and D.J. E-Z Rock (YEAH!WOW! YEAH!WOW!-REMEMBER THAT SAMPLE FROM THAT SONG?!!?).


James Brown,the dynamic, pompadoured "Godfather of Soul," whose revolutionary rhythms,rough voice and flashing footwork influenced generations of musicians from rock to rap,died early Christmas morning due to pneumonia and congestive heart failure.
He was 73 years of age.

Born in poverty in Barnwell,S.C. in 1933,Brown was abandoned as a 4 year old to the care of relatives and friends.He grew up on the streets of Augusta,GA in an "ill-repute area" as he once called it,where he learned how to hustle to survive.
"I wanted to be somebody," Brown said.

By the eighth grade in 1949,Brown had served 3 1/2 years in Alto Reform School near Toccoa,Ga.,for breaking into cars.
While there,he met Bobby Byrd, whose family took Brown into their home.
Byrd also took Brown into his group,the Gospel Starlighters.
Soon they changed their name to the Famous Flames and their style to hard R&B.

In January 1956, King Records of Cincinnati signed the group, and four months later "Please, Please, Please" was in the R&B Top Ten.
From the 1950s, when Brown had his first R&B hit, "Please, Please, Please" in 1956, through the mid-1970s, Brown went on a frenzy of cross-country tours, concerts and new songs. He earned the nickname "The Hardest Working Man in Show Business" and often tried to prove it to his fans.

His "Live at The Apollo" in 1962 is widely considered one of the greatest concert records ever. And he often talked of the 1964 concert in which organizers made the mistake of having the Rolling Stones,not him,close the bill.
He would remember a terrified Mick Jagger waiting offstage,chain smoking,as Brown pulled off his matchless show.

Brown was one of the major musical influences of the past 50 years.
From Mick Jagger to Michael Jackson,David Bowie to Public Enemy, Brown's rapid-footed dancing, hard-charging beats and heartfelt yet often unintelligible vocals changed the musical landscape.
He was to rhythm and dance music what Bob Dylan was to lyrics.

Brown's stage act was as memorable,and as imitated,as his records,with his twirls and spins and flowing cape,his repeated faints to the floor at the end as band members tried in vain to get him to leave the stage.

With his tight pants,shimmering feet,eye makeup and outrageous hair,Brown set the stage for younger stars such as Michael Jackson and Prince.
And the early rap generation overwhelmingly sampled his music and voice as they laid the foundation of hip-hop culture.

"Disco is James Brown,hip-hop is James Brown,rap is James Brown;you know what I'm saying?You hear all the rappers,90 percent of their music is me," Brown told The AP in 2003.

Brown's classic singles include "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag," "(Get Up I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine," "I Got You (I Feel Good)" and "Say It Loud — I'm Black and I'm Proud,"a landmark 1968 statement of racial pride.

"I clearly remember we were calling ourselves 'colored',and after the song,we were calling ourselves black," Brown told The Associated Press in 2003.
"The song showed even people to that day that lyrics and music and a song can change society."

Brown used his stardom to help preach for self-sufficiency,recording such songs as 1968's "Say It Loud (I'm Black and I'm Proud)".
As myself being an African-American,his song "Say It Loud(I'm Black And I'm Proud)" was like an anthem that spoke volumes upon volumes to many African-Americans from back in the days of the Civil Rights movement even up this day in age.

On April 5 of 1968,as rioting broke out across America in the wake of Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination in Memphis,TN the previous night before,Brown insisted on playing a show in Boston,MA that the city's Mayor Kevin White had wanted to cancel.
Brown dedicated the show to King and it was broadcast on local television at the mayor's urging in an effort to keep people off the streets.

He won a Grammy for lifetime achievement in 1992, as well as Grammys in 1965 for "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag" (best R&B recording) and for "Living In America" in 1987 (best R&B vocal performance, male.)
He was one of the initial artists inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986,along with Elvis Presley,Chuck Berry and other founding fathers.

I have loved many a song by him including "Cold Sweat","Papa's Got A Brand New Bag","I Got You(I Feel Good)","Get Up(I Feel Like I'm A Sex Machine)","Get Up Offa That Thang" and "Living In America" from the "Rocky 4" movie.


I loved all those comedic skits that comedian/actor Eddie Murphy did impersonating him when he was on "Satruday Night Live" and during his tour.
I got a huge laugh out of that-LOL!
In my opinion,that skit wasn't out to denegrate James Brown,that was a sign of respect and paying homage to this great man.

In the latter years of his life,he had his internal and personal problems outside of music (TELL ME SOMEONE IN THE HISTORY OF MUSIC WHO HASN'T HAD ANY TROUBLE IN SOME FORM OR WAY OR ANOTHER!) with charges of drug abuse and domestic abuse,that is not the way I want to remember him nor for him to be remembered.


I want to remember James Brown,this legendary,high energy performing Rock N' Roll Hall of Famer (ONE OF THE VERY 1ST BACK IN 1986 TO BE INDUCTED,BTW!) for the many contributions that he gave to music and to fans like me listening to his music and his fantastic dancing style (that performers such as Prince and Michael Jackson have emulated) through the years entertaining many a person throughout the 5 decades that he was in music performing.

James Brown earned the nickname "The Hardest Woreking Man In Show Business",performing tiredlessly and effortlessly show after show for the last 5 decades and ALWAYS was a man,whom until the end,who always gave back to his community.

I will miss James Brown immensely,but I am grateful and thankful to God and to the Good Lord that he left something behind for his fans and for future generations of music to remember,to enjoy and to respect.

Rest In peace to THE Godfather Of Soul,James Brown!

Brian Reese/BSpidey1:The 2006 Gulf Coast Wrestling's MAN OF THE YEAR!




HELLO WEBHEADS (DAMN!How long has it been since I said that on my blog?LOL!)!!!

Yes,I understand and realize that it has been a long,long time since the last time that I created a blog for all you webheads to read and I must apologize to all of you for that.
However,I must say in my defense that I have been a very,very busy man as of late,espcially within this last month.

First of all,I was designated with a tremendous responsibilty to run THE HOTTEST independent women's wrestling group on YAHOO! called Indy Divas while the group owner Spartucus Jones is taking a 2 month hiatus from the group for recuperation purposes and he asked me if I would take over his role as group owner while he was gone....to which naturally I accepted.

At Indy Divas,there is plenty going on over there,such as the poll to determine the December Indy Diva Of The Month,where the over 2,100 worldwide group members can vote for their favorite female indy wrestling personality.

In this month's poll,we have not ONE,but TWO former WWF(E) Divas in the poll and they are:

TAMMY LYNN SYTCH,
who was known back in the WWF in the mid to late 1990s as Sunny.
Tammy Lynn Sytch,known back then when it was known as the WWF as Sunny;whom in many ways really started the WWE phenomenon we know today as the WWE Divas,was the manager/valet and fiance' to the late,great outstanding wrestler,Chris Candido.
Back in the WWF,Chris Candido wrestled under the name Skip and he and Sunny (which both were later joined by Tom "Zip" Pritchard-NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH FEMALE INDY WRESTLER and INDY DIVA ZIP!!!) became The BodyDonnas.
She was the 1st manager in WWF(E) history to manage 3 different and consecutive teams to the World Tag Team Championship.
At one time,Tammy Lynn Sytch/Sunny was the most downloaded pin-up in cyber/internet history,a feat that is currently held by American glamour spokesmodel,Cindy Margolis.




The other
former WWF(E) Diva in this comeptition poll is IVORY.
For those of you that have watched wrestling through the years,Ivory (real name Lisa Morreti),got her claim to fame as Tina Ferrari wrestling for G.L.O.W. (Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling).
Ivory is a former WWF(E) Women's Champion who has wrestled against the likes of Chyna,Trish Stratus,Jacqueline,Lita and many of the other top female wrestlers in that organization.




Also,there is the 2006 Indy Divas Awards,where there are several ladies along the indy wrestling circuit that are nominated in several categories to which the winners are determined by the 2,100 plus group members that cast their vote for them.

Now,let's get back to me and to the topic at hand:
Yesterday (Sunday,December 3rd,2006),I was checking out the message board at Gulf Coast Wrestling Online,the message board to gulfcoastwrestling.com,and I couldn't believe what I saw.
It was a message post attributed to me in recongnition and high praise for all of the many things that I have done and have contributed to wrestling along the Gulf Coast indy wrestling circuit throughout the year of 2006.
This was a message that was posted by a very good friend of mine and to a friendly,considerate,warm human being who was partially responsible for me getting this such high praise,the webmaster of gulfcoastwrestling.com,Mr. Bob Liddil.

Here is what he posted about me:

Consideration for 2006's Wrestling Man of the Year!
Posted on December 3, 2006 at 08:49:28 PM by Bob



Known for his affection for Divas (ladies of wrestling), colorful dress and warm, friendly personality, Brian Reese has contributed heavily to the Gulf Coast Wrestling Scene in 2006. Handling (ring) announcing at several shows, shooting pictures at events and just generally reminding us all quietly that "disabled" is a state of mind, whereas "enabled" is a state of forward movemer, Brian has demonstrated the perseverance, love-of-sport, enthusiasm for job doing and overall leadership to have earned a nod of praise from this web site acknowledging his dedicated and selfless service.

Please give a round of virtual applause to "Spiderman" or post a note here expressing your approval.

Bob

And the praise continues.....
Here are 3 other men on the Gulf Coast indy wrestling circuit whom I have either seen in action at ringside or whom I have worked with at several shows within
this past year;also these 3 men that I consider to be very good friends of mine.

SCOTTY RAYZ:

"I agree 100%.
Mr. Brian Reese is an awesome guy and he has one of the biggest hearts a person can get.
I'm giving him a virtual applause right now."







"B.T.Y." Colby Godwin:

" "B-Spidey" Brian Reese is one cool cat and loves the sport of professional wrestling.
I have nothing but good words for him
Dunno about the whole "virtual" round of applause,but the man knows I'll shake his hand in person and say a job well done."





Former Gulf Coast indy wrestling referee DENNIS LOVE:

"I can think of no one deserving the title more than Brian Reese.
He goes far beyond to bring the sport in pictures to all the fans.
The man is a class act and I am glad to call him my friend.
I have had a bad year but Brian always lifts my spirits.
For that,Brian,my friend,I say:
'THANK YOU'.
As Always SEE YA!"


If you like,you can post some positive messages about me at the Gulf Coast Wrestling message board at:
http://www.gulfcoastwrestling.com


I'm pretty sure that there are several more of my fellow wrestling colleagues and many other friends of mine and other,great people that I know along the Gulf Coast indy wrestling cirucit that probably might echo the exact same sediments that all of these individuals have said.


I want to take this opportunity to thank all of those (wrestling promoters,wrestlers and wrestling fans) who have welcomed me into and that have allowed me being a part of their lives,that have invited me to several of their wrestling shows and that have asked me to be a part of their shows whether if it ws me being eiher a ringside photographer,a ring announcer or even just as a fan sitting at ringside enjoying their show.
This is truly a great honor that has been bestowed upon me and I thank all of them so very,very much of this very prestigious honor which is so greatly and most dearly appreciated.

In my opinion,the year 2006 for me as a wrestling fan and for what I have contributed and have supported to what I truly and immensely love,which is professional wrestling,is just only the beginning for me,webheads.

2006 was great for me.....just wait and see what I have in store for all the Gulf Coast wrestling fans in the year of 2007!!!

This is Brian Reese,a.k.a. BSpidey1



THE 2006 GULF COAST WRESTLING MAN OF THE YEAR

(BTW,don't you agree that this terrific pic and pose of me would make a great cover for a wrestling magazine?LOL)?!!!

2006 Indy Diva nominee for MATCH OF THE YEAR (Part 3:ZIP vs. DIXIE w/QUEEN MELISSA as SPECIAL REF/GULF SOUTH WRESTLING/Grand Bay,AL/April 21st,2006)

HELLO WEBHEADS!

This is the third and final part in my lobbying of suggestion for you,the reader,to vote for when you cast your nominations for the 2006 Indy Divas Awards at the immensely,popular worldwide indy women's wrestling YAHOO! group Indy Divas in the category of:
MATCH OF THE YEAR


This match was one that I was at front row ringside in attendance to witness on April 21st,2006 at a Gulf South Wrestling show that took place in Grand Bay,AL as it was another classic one-on-one ladies encounter between:
"The Gorgeous Golden Vixen Goddess" ZIP vs. "The Sexy Southern Belle" DIXIE.



However,to even the odds in Zip's favor somewhat was the special referee,a woman who despised Dixie at Gulf South Wrestling just as much as Zip did and that was
"The Majesty Of Mayhem" QUEEN MELISSA !





Before the match started,GSW President Percy Pringle III
warned and demanded Queen Melissa to call the match right down the middle
and show no favoritism whatsoever towards Zip or else.
Queen Melissa heard the GSW President very loud and clear,but NO ONE
that was there in the audience that night believed for one split second that she was even going to abide by the rules nor even her calling this match down the middle.
Well,we are knew better from the getgo that the nefarious,notorious Queen wasn't even about to call the match completely down the middle and truth be
told,she didn't.
It pretty much seemed like a one-sided affair from the beginning.



Once again,it was another situation where Dixie's proverbial back was entirely up against the wall.
It was one thing to battle her arch rival,Zip,but knowing the bitter animosity that Queen Melissa had for her and knowing full well that she wasn't even thinking about calling her match 100% down the middle,it was another total different story entirely!






From the start,it was your typical,classic,back and forth Dixie/Zip encounter.


However,when it came to a point in the match where Zip blatantly broke the rules on Dixie(such as in the picture that you see displayed to your right),one would normally think that the referee would step in and would call for a break.....

NOT QUEEN MELISSA!
The Queen would let Zip do whatever she wanted to do with Dixie while she was distracted and arguing with the fans.






Dixie,given her unbelieveable,insurmountable circumstances and being the tride and true competitior that she is,somehow managed to battle her way back.
Then,during comeback moments like this,Queen Melissa would step in stopping Dixie's momentum to flourish warning her about her dirty tactics that she perpetrated on her opponent Zip such as hair pulling,trunk pulling and using clenched fists.

WHAT DIRTY TACTICS?!!!


Dixie was about to have all that she could stand with Queen Melissa and her horrible officiating.
However,she soon realized that if she even laid one pinky finger on her,The Queen immediately would have disqualified her and would have unjustly awarded the match to Zip.








But,once again,despite tremendous,incomparable odds,Dixie got a second wind,fought her way back and this time was no longer going to be denied or to be kept down regardless of what either Zip or Queen Melissa was going to do to her.










However,Zip Irish Whipped Dixie to the ring ropes and hit her in her finishing move called "The Zippit".
Queen Melissa was at the count of 2 before Dixie somehow kicked out.







Dixie got her momentum back and Irish Whipped Zip into a corner.
Zip came from the corner attempting to rebound and catch Dixie with a running clothesline.
Dixie had the same idea in mind.
Both of these ladies had the same idea in mind and they were going towards each other like two fast,speeding cars going at 55 miles an hour on a straightforward,head on collision course.
However,as they were about to clothesline one another,Queen Melissa was caught in the middle of their dueling running clotheslines and she was knocked unconscious.
The crowd went absolutely nuts when this moment occurred!
The match then resumed.







Zip then Irish whipped Dixie in the ring ropes attemtiong to hit Dixie again with "The Zippit",but Dixie countered it and hit Zip with her finishing maneuver called "The Climax".
Dixie covered Zip and hooked for leg for the pin.
A second referee ran in,slid through the bottom ring rope and counted Zip shoulders down for the 1-2-3.
Dixie won in a very difficult,dramatic,but very outstanding match!

As a result due to her awful,lackluster and extremely biased one-sided
officiating,Gulf South Wrestling suspended Queen Melissa.
She hasn't wrestled since her suspension,much less she hasn't been seen from nor heard from since.....

Dixie emerged as the victor in this match on this evening at Gulf South Wrestling.

UNTIL NEXT TIME,WEBHEADS.....

2006 Indy Diva nominee for MATCH OF THE YEAR (Part Two:QUEEN MELISSA vs. ZIP vs. DIXIE/GULF SOUTH WRESTLING/Grand Bay,AL/March 24th,2006)

HELLO WEBHEADS !

Welcome to you,one and all,to my 2nd part in my "lobbying",if you will,to what I believe all of you should give some very strong consideration to your thinking process upon another candidate to the 2006 Indy Divas Awards category for:
MATCH OF THE YEAR

I take you to a match that I was at front row ringside in attendance on a very special day in my life this year-MY BIRTHDAY/MARCH 24TH at a (posible PROMOTION OF THE YEAR nominee-PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE FOR IT!) Gulf South Wrestling show in Grand Bay,AL where it was a 3 way dance ladies encounter as it was:


"The Majesty Of Mayhem" QUEEN MELISSA vs. "The Gorgeous Golden Vixen Goddess" ZIP vs. "The Sexy Southern Belle" DIXIE

Considering the history of all 3 of these ladies and the fact that The Queen and Zip were allies that weren't even thinking about to go at each other,the referee made it a 2-on-1 handicap match of sorts as Dixie had to fend for herself against her two villainous arch rivals while Queen Melissa and Zip were tagging in and out.


To say that the odds were stacked against Dixie was a major understatement on that night.


From the start,it was somewhat a very rough outing for Dixie as she had to handle the brute force tenacity and wrestling ability of The Zipster.









and from the viciousness and wickedness by "The Majesty Of Mayhem" Queen Melissa.










But,unbeknowst to The Queen and Zip emerged a heart of a champion that showed tremendous resiliency by overcoming insumountable adversity especially in the way that Dixie displayed handling both of her opposition through this flying head scissors/side headlock takedown!






However,whatever momentum Dixie had in the early going was to be short lived as Zip took her down with a DDT......







.....not to mention,the persistent and relentless undermining of the rules that both her adversaries bestowed upon her during the match,just like in this picture that involved Zip as she was arguing with the referee while choking Dixie across her throat.




Zip and Queen Melissa had things going their way throughout most of the match.
The only time when they were not on the same page was when either one of the two ladies were trying to attempt to pin Dixie for the win.
When either Zip or The Queen tried to pin Dixie,the other one outside the ring ran in to break up the count.
Both ladies began to argue with one another when incidents like that occurred.


This is what proved to be each of these ladies downfall because it gave Dixie some time to get her second wind back.
Somehow,someway Dixie battled her way back.
Where or how in the world Dixie got the inner strength to battle her way back after being constantly batttered by both Queen Melissa and Zip,I will never,ever know.

Nevertheless,Dixie did battle her way back!


Perhaps one of the reasons why I have been lobbying everybody to vote for Dixie for "Most Improved Wrestler Of The Year" is because of spectacular moves such as this one,this tornado DDT from the 2nd turnbuckle dropping Zip's head like a bad habit.


One by one,Dixie took care of business as well as her competition.

First,she took out Queen Melissa as she finished her off with one of her finishing maneuvers,"The Rat Killer".










Then,she won her match after reversing Zip's sidewalk slam into another one of her finishing maneuvers called "The Climax".
Dixie covered Zip and hooked her leg for the 1-2-3.








What an unbelieveable and remarkable finish to a very wild and bizarre match-up as Dixie stood triumphant in victory on this evening by defeating BOTH Queen Melissa AND Zip!

2006 Indy Diva nominee for MATCH OF THE YEAR (Part One:GINA MARIE vs. DIXIE vs. ZIP/GAWF/Altha,FL/February 18th,2006)

HELLO WEBHEADS
Welcome to my 1st of a 3 part series in one of the categories that will be featured
in the 2006 Indy Divas Awards:
MATCH OF THE YEAR

One of these Match Of The Year matches that I had the pleasure to witness during this past year was a 3 way women's dance that took place in Altha,FL on February 18th,2006.
It was the Great American Wrestling Federation's (GAWF) show called FEBRUARY FIGHT NIGHT that featured 3 outstanding female wrestlers on the women's wrestling circuit.

It was the 3 way women's match between:
GINA MARIE vs. DIXIE vs. ZIP




Surprisingly enough,Zip,who mostly throughout her career was known as a
heel wrestler,was (MAYBE FOR THIS NIGHT ONLY!) a "babyface" as well as
her arch rival,Dixie while Gina Marie was the heel.
Zip was seconded by the AWA/GAWF Heavyweight Champion,The Masked Nighthawk
while Gina Marie was seconded by her main man,Legion "Freaking" Cage.


As you would expect,the match was wild and crazy with you seeing Gina Marie having the upper hand in the early going against both her opposition.








Gina Marie,who is well known around the Northeast indy wrestling circuit as a high flyer with amazing acrobatic agility is also one that has tremendous flexibility,as was being displayed when she gives Zip a choke to her throat by her foot.
She is also notorious when it comes to breaking rules and doing whatever it takes to win matches.






Zip,whom by the way was wrestling her very 1st wrestling match in nearly a year, certainly showed no sign of ring rust whatsoever in her matchup
against these two very talented ladies as Zip showed the ring skills
that she has known and has had within her very short career;





as Gina Marie found out the hard way as she was on the receiving end of a very vicious clothesline by The Zipster.











"The Sexy Southern Belle" Dixie certainly held her own by giving Gina Marie a very hard,brusing open handed chop to her chest in the corner;








not to mention a standing drop kick.









The match progressed forward going back and forth amongst these 3 ladies with absolutely no way to tell which one of them was going to emerege victorious seeing that things were at an even keel.

Alas,the match ended as Gina Marie went outside while her second,Legion Cage was arguing and getting into a pair of fisticuffs with Zip's second,The
Nighthawk.
The referee was yelling at Gina Marie to get back into the
ring and began counting out Gina Marie,but for whatever the reason,Gina Marie refused to come back to the ring.

He was distracted as well as Dixie,whom at the time had the Zipster pinned by putting her in her finishing maneuver called "The Climax (a flying Mexican head scissors takedown)".
Even she was frustrated with Gina Marie taking her precious time getting back to the ring.

Zip came to and from behind rolled up Dixie in a schoolgirl roll-up,with ABSOLUTELY NO TRUNK PULLING WHATSOEVER,for the 1-2-3 victory!
ZIP WINS!!!!

What an exhiliarating and exciting 3 way women's dance that took place at the GAWF in Altha,FL on February 18th,2006!

In my next blog will be another one of my choices for a candidate for Match Of The Year;another 3 way dance between Queen Melissa,Zip and Dixie at Gulf South Wrestling on March 24th,2006.
Ironically enough,this match happened on my birthday.....
AS IF ALL THE BIRTHDAY WISHES,CARDS,PRESENTS THAT I RECEIVED THAT NIGHT AND THE BIRTHDAY CAKE THAT I ATE WEREN'T ENOUGH.....

UNTIL NEXT TIME,WEBHEADS.....

2006 Indy Divas Awards:MY nominees for FEUD OF THE YEAR

HELLO WEBHEADS!

Well,once again,as promised,I am continuing,or should I say,my lobbying of my choices for nominees for the categories at the immensely popular worldwide indy women's wrestling YAHOO! site Indy Divas for the 2006 Indy Divas Awards.

Upon my last blog,I named and showed you the candidates from the Gulf Coast area to be considered for the many categories that were up or grabs for the 2006 Indy Divas Awards.
Now,on my blog,please pay very close attention to MY choices for the nominees as to whom that should be considered in the category known as:

FEUD OF THE YEAR

To me,the first feud that I strongly feel that should be considered in this particular category is the one that happened from October 25th,2005 until April 21st,2006 at Percy Pringle III's outstanding wrestling promotion;one as I illustrated that should be in very serious running for PROMOTION OF THE YEAR called Gulf South Wrestling
and that was the feud that involved "The Sexy Southern Belle" Dixie and ""The Majesty Of Mayhem" Queen Melissa.





These two feuded back in October of last year and they feuded until April 21st of 2006.
They
have fought against each other in mixed tag team matches as well as in one-on-one encounters.




At times during their battles,The Queen showed some wrestling skills;although most of the time,you never would even have known that considering that she used dirty,low down,underhanded tactics
such as the case in the description of this picture on the right.





Dixie,on the other hand,turned back the dirty tactics of Queen Melissa with the tremendous wrestling skill that she learned in previous years by being trained from the likes of former NWA World Heavyweight Champion Dory Funk Jr. and the very popular Gulf Coast indy wrestler Mercury McCloud.








However,lest we forget,Dixie has also shown throughout
her wrestling career that she can fight fire with fire and had a dirty trick or two up her sleeve when she fought against The Queen during their feud at Gulf South Wrestling.

During this feud,Dixie showed near absolute total dominance as she "crowned" and "ruled" over her adversary.

Obviously and without question,another candidate for Feud Of the Year is another one that happened at Gulf South Wrestling.
Not so much a feud of biblical proportions mind you,
but one that would put Godzilla vs. Rodan,the Klingons vs. the Starship Enterprise and even the Hatfields vs. the McCoys to shame.
The feud that I'm talking about was the one between Dixie and Zip.

Dixie and Zip,former longtime arch rivals at the Independent Wrestling Council (IWC),rekindled their historic,long running feud at Gulf South Wrestling from February 17th,2006 until June 11th,2006.


These two very competitive female wrestlers picked up from where they left off at the IWC and brought their feud to the forefront at GSW
where they really pulled out all the stops and brought the very best in competition out of each other.

Each of these ladies matched each other move for move,hold for hold and counter for counter.





But,when it got down to it as far as the nitty-gritty was concerned when following and abiding by the rules be damned,these ladies really went at each other.
As a matter of fact,during some of their post-macth fracases,it got so much out of hand,it went to the point that it took everybody in the locker room and security at GSW,even GSW President Percy Pringle III to even break up their brouhaha.



At the 2005 Indy Divas Awards,
the Dixie vs. Zip feud was one of the nominees in the running for Feud Of The Year.
Despite the fact that the feud was 2nd runner-up in the voting,their winding up as the 2nd runner-up wasn't even so much the whole entire point.



This particular category was one of the closest neck-and-neck polls in any of the categories last year as this feud was only a few percentage points,JUST ONLY A FEW PERCENTAGE POINTS away from winning being the 1st place winner.

The odds are and my "spider-senses" tell me that the 2006 Dixie vs. Zip feud will be the odds on favorite to win it all,but it is up to the rest of you webheads to join Indy Divas and cast your vote to see that all of this becomes a reality!

In my next blog,I will give all you webheads my choices as to whom should be in the voting for the:
MATCH OF THE YEAR

By the way,before I leave,this is a reminder to all of you who HAVE NOT yet voted at the 2006 Indy Divas Awards that the deadline to cast your votes and nominations is on:
WEDNESDAY,NOVEMBER 15TH,2006 !!!

PLEASE BE SURE TO CAST YOUR VOTE,especially in the case for all the lovely,hardworking and talented ladies that reside on the Gulf Coast that are also a part of the Gulf Coast indy wrestling circuit because,after all.....
IT ONLY MAKES SPIDER-SENSE!

UNTIL NEXT TIME,WEBHEADS.....
