INDY DIVA PROFILE on ZIP (Part Two/The IWC Years)!

HELLO WEBHEADS!

Welcome to Part Two in the episodic saga of my Indy Diva profile on the very beautiful and very talented independent female Gulf Coast wrestler,Zip!

After being trained and wrestling for independent wrestler and promoter Bobby Doll at the Pensacola Wrestling Alliance (PWA) as well as for indy wrestler Ronnie Fargo and legendary wrestler/promoter Sika The Wild Samoan at XW-2000;both promotions of which were in her home state of Florida,Zip's next stop on her wrestling trail led her to the state of Alabama and the Independent Wrestling Council (IWC).

The IWC had shows every Tuesday night beginning in the summer of 2003 at Tillman's Corner in Theodore,AL.
They also had shows periodically on occasion Saturday nights at the Santa Rosa County Auditiorium in Milton,FL.

Zip began wrestling at the IWC and started a very long,hotly contested feud with another outstanding independent female wrestler by the name of Dixie.
During the
beginning of their feud back in the summer of 2003,The Zipster was a babyface while Dixie was the villanous heel.
By the time the year of 2004 rolled around,both Zip's and Dixie's roles were reversed;however the competitive tempo in their longtime feud NEVER ever waivered.

Zip became
a multi-time IWC Women's Champion.
She has won that championship so many times,I lost track as to how many!
Both her and Dixie battled back and forth for the IWC Womens' Championship.
The IWC Women's Chmapionship changed hands more times than people walking through a revolving carousel door.


As their matches went on,they were very fiercely fought and highly competitive.
From one
match to the next and from one week to the next,you never knew which one of these two ladies was going to emerge victorious.





Zip showed tremendous ability and skill everytime she fought against Dixie at the IWC.




When she
faced Dixie,Zip certainly kicked it up a notch when it came to her tenacity and her demeanor during her feud with Dixie at the IWC,showing a vicious meanstreak through her intemperate disposition.

There was one night when she atttacked Dixie before a match between the two of them officially got started.
Zip ran Dxie's head into the infamous IWC wall which knocked Dixie semi-unconscious.
Then,Zip did the unthinkable;something that I nor the wrestling fans that were there that could ever believe nor could they ever forget.

After when
The Zipster threw Dixie's head into the IWC wall,she grabbed a bucket of filthy,dirty disgusting mop water and doused it all over and on top of Dixie!

You're probably asking yourself:
WHY IN THE DID ZIP DO THAT TO DIXIE?!!?

In an interview that I conducted of Zip for the April issue of Indy Divas Magazine,Zip said:

"I figured that she (Dixie) stinks a lot,so she needed 'a deep shower',just to cover the stink of her that was already there underneath her armpits".

Say and think whatever you want,webheads,but those were the words that came straight from The Zipster.

NOTE:

During her
days at the IWC,Zip also managed and was mixed tag team partner with a wrestler by the name of Pol'Kat (pictured on the right).
Pol'Kat was a talented wrestler that possessed various aerial maneuvers and was well versed in the martial arts department.


Zip created havoc
inside the ring as a wrestler as well as outside of the ring while managing Pol'Kat,as you can see in the picture on the right during one of Pol'Kat's matches as she chokes IWC wrestler "Miracle" Mikey Webb on the bottom ring rope.

Aside from winning the IWC Women's Championship,Zip greatest triumph at the IWC was when she wrested Dixie in a Paddle On A Pole match.
This match had no countouts,no pinfalls and no submissions.
The object to winning the match was for someone to climb the ring turnbuckle where a paddle was on top of a pole.
The 1st wrestler to climb and grab the paddle from the pole was proclaimed the winner.
Also,the 1st wrestler to get the paddle was given the right to lash her loser's derriere with 10 very painful,brutal lashes.
Reminds you the way it was back in the day when it was legal for schoolteachers to use a paddle upon their students who continuously misbehaved during class and they got to used a big,wooden paddle to spank their students with
when they disobeyed.
This was a great match between Zip and Dixie which a lot of aerial and technical moves occurred during that match.
But,in the end,Zip tied up Dixie placing her upside down in a tree-of-woe position in the corner where the paddle was.
Zip climbed the turnbuckle,got the paddle that was on the pole and won her match over Dixie very successfully.
Dixie lost the match and was on the receiving end of 10 brutal lashes on her kister by Zip.

But,Zip did not stop there.

She continued on with lashing Dixie with the wooden paddle until the referee stepped in to stop The Zipster's onslaught.
Dixie greabbed the paddle out of the referee's hand and began chasing Zip all the way back to the dressing room.

Zip lost a match to Dixie where the loser of that match had to leave the IWC for 90 days.
When the 90 days were up,Zip returned with a serious vengeance and her feud with Dixie began to pick up where it left off.

The Dixie/Zip feud continued until the beginning of 2005 when Zip mysteriously left the IWC and wrestling in general.
Two months later on March 29th,2005,the IWC folded.



In Part Three in my Indy Diva Profile on Zip,
The Zipster returns to the squared circle and once again rekindles her long time feud with her arch nemesis Dixie over in Gulf South Wrestling.

INDY DIVA PROFILE ON ZIP (Part One)!

GREETINGS,WEBHEADS!

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.....

TRIPLE THREAT....DOUBLE ELIMINATION....ONE UNDISPUTED CHAMPION at UHPW!

GREETINGS WEBHEADS!

Today in my blog,I want to talk about a wrestling match that I was very honored,thrilled and very privileged to be a part of.
Certainly in my unbiased opinion,without question,it was:
A MATCH FOR THE AGES!

It was a triple threat,double elimination match that recently took place in Mossy Head,FL at the United Hardcore Pro Wrestling (UHPW) "HYBRID WARFARE" show as it pitted 3 very outstanding wrestlers on the Gulf Coast independent wrestling circuit that were competing for the Pride Heavyweight Championship and the UHPW Heavyweight Championship.
They were:

"B.T.Y" meaning "BETTER THAN YOU" Colby Godwin,






the Pride Heavyweight Champion,"THE DEFINITION OF TECHNICIAN" Chris Tighe





and the UHPW Heavyweight Champion,"THE MASTER OF DEVASTATION",
Cameron Frost

I have gone to several wrestling matches through the years and Heaven knows I have seen billions upon billions of wrestling matches on television.
With that being said,whether I have been a wrestling fan sitting at ringside or as being a ring announcer,I must say that this match is probably THE GREATEST match that I have EVER seen!
Coming from a wrestling fan like me,that is really saying a lot!


The object of the match to win,as best as I can describe it,was for a wrestler to eliminate any 2 of his opponents by either pinfall or submission.

In other words,any 2 of the 3 participants in this contest had to lose a fall TWICE with the winning wrestler taking only ONE fall or even none for that matter with the possibility of as many as 5 falls occurring in this match!
I might be wrong in this description as to the stipualtion of this wild match,but it was the best interpretation that I could come up with,so please bear with me.

In my opinion,
this was probably THE GREATEST MATCH that the UHPW has ever had and THE GREATEST match that any UHPW wrestling fan has ever seen!


This match went back and forth,non-stop,fast and furious with high aerial action taking place both inside and outside the ring as each men seemed to outdo the other in move for move,





hold for hold and counter for counter



with an array of great maneuveral innovation!





All 3 of these men
gave it an 110% effort in this match,especially in attempting to become the victor of this match.
Believe me,webheads,it most definitely showed within the eyes of the UHPW crowd as well as yours truly!





The 1st fall was all 3 men pinning themselves in a triple belly-to-back suplex as each of them lost one fall apiece.

The match progressed forward,especially to the point where all 3 men were fighting each other at the concession stand and near Butonman's table.
No damage was done to Buttonman,his table nor any of the great and many interesting items that he had to sell that night.

When all was said and done,Cameron Frost pinned B.T.Y. eliminating him,then Tighe pinned Frost eliminating him to become both the Pride and UHPW Heavyweight Champion.

"The Definition Of Technician"
Chris Tighe retained his Pride Heavyweight Championship and became the NEW UHPW Heavyweight Champion by defeating "B.T.Y" Colby Godwin and "The Master Of Devastation" Cameron Frost.

At the end of the match,all 3 of these men got a tremendous standing ovation from all the wrestlers in the back as well as the UHPW fans that were in attendance!

WHAT AN OUTSTANDING MATCH BY COLBY GODWIN,CAMERON FROST and CHRIS TIGHE!!!

Who knows what will be in store for the UHPW fans at "The House Of Hardcore" when the UHPW returns to Mossy Head,FL for their show "Wired"?

All that I can honestly say is that if it was anything remotely close to the excitement and competitiveness that was bestowed upon the UHPW crowd during that double elimination triple threat match and if you're a wrestling fan that loves an awesome wrestling show to which in the manner that I had just described,then you would be an idiot not to go to the UHPW "Wired" show on Saturday,September 30th at the Community Center!

There will be plenty of action,excitement,blood and gore in store that will suit all types of wrestling fans to a "T"!

UNTIL NEXT TIME,WEBHEADS.....

INDY DIVA profile on DIXIE (Part Six:DIXIE IN ACTION AT GULF SOUTH WRESTLING/Volume Two)!

HELLO WEBHEADS !

I would like to sincerely thank all you webheads who have been enjoying reading my Indy Diva profile based on "THE SEXY SOUTHERN BELLE" known as DIXIE.


Now,we have come to the final climax of Dixie's story,but let me tell you something out there that her wrestling career is FAR,FAR FAR FROM OVER!!!

When I last left you in my blog,Dixie was triumphant in her triple threat match
over both Zip and "The Majesty Of Mayhem" Queen Melissa at the Gulf South Wrestling show in Grand Bay,AL on March 24th (MY BIRTHDAY-LOL!).

However,if either Dixie or her fans thought for one minute that she heard the last from her two villanious foes,they most certainly had another thing coming.
Incidentally,Dixie had some more troubles that were looming on the horizon.

Dixie's boyfriend,Ricky "Rocket" Roberts was having a lot of problems with his friend,Mercury McCloud.
Both men participated in a 10 man over-the top rope blindfold battle royal;a first for Gulf South Wrestling and for Gulf Coast independent wrestling for that matter.
Mercury and "The Rocket" were both achieving toward the same goal;which was winning this unique and bizarre battle royal.
Mercury was attemting to throw men over the top rope.
"Rocket" unfortunately was caught in the middle of it as Mercury threw about three or four men simultaneously.
When Rocket realized that he was thrown over the top rope and removing his blidfolding hood,he got extremely livid.
When Mercury got thrown over,"The Rocket" was waiting for him outside and he was incensed at Mercury for what he did.
Despite that the blindfold battle royal was every man for himself and with Mercury not even knowing whom he threw over the top rope whilst he was in the ring.
"The Rocket" pushed Mercury and started a very heated argument with him.
Mercury tried to apologize to him,but Roberts didn't even want to hear it nor accept his apology.

Thus,their grudge match took place one month later at the GSW show in Grand Bay,AL.
Mercury pinned "The Rocket" 1-2-3 in the middle of the ring fair and square.
"Rocket",who was in a state of disbelief after losing by pinfall,did a Pearl Harbor job on his former best friend and attacked him from behind.
Dixie ran in,climbed on her boyfriend's back and physically restraining him,pulling her man off of her former trainer from doing any further damage.
"Rocket" was very angry with his girlfriend and began shouting and arguing with her;telling her in a inhumane chauvinistic way that her place was not only back in the locker room,but at home in the kitchen.

Dixie was very shocked and heartbroken with what her now former boyfriend said to her.
But,little did Dixie know,as "Rocket" began pushing her away,that at the time her arch rival,Zip ran in the ring and attacked her from behind as she began kicking,stomping and pummeling upon her enemy.
But,Dixie battled back unaware that also running from the back of the dressing room was Queen Melissa.
She came in and attacked Dixie from behind.
However,still with a "never say die" attitude,Dixie once again battled her way back
and combatted the attack that was perpetrated by her adversaries.
Then,Zip got back up and soon afterwards it became a brutal and violent 2 on 1 beatdown on Dixie.

Her ex-boyfriend,Ricky "Rocket" Roberts did absolutely nothing as he walked away from the ring and back to the dressing room.
Dixie stood her ground and hung tough to battle both her allied foes.
It took
ALL of GSW security,ALL of the wrestlers in the locker room and EVEN GSW President Percy Pringle III to break up this uncultivated brouhaha!

When order was restored,the GSW President was very,very upset with all 3 ladies and ordered for Dixie an Zip to wrestle each other a one-on-one match the following month with,BELIEVE IT OR NOT,Queen Melissa as the special referee.

One month later,on April 21st at the GSW SPRING SLAM show,
the match between Dixie and Zip took place.
Prior to the match commencing,Percy Pringle got on the microphone demanding that Queen Melissa either call the match right down the middle,to be unbiased and impartial,or else she was going to be suspended.

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.

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 hatred 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 completely different story entirely!

From the start,it was your typical,classic,back and forth Dixie/Zip encounter.
However,when Zip tried to pin Dixie,The Queen would count to 3 very rapidly.
However,when Dixie attempted to pin Zip,the count of 3 would either go at a snail's pace or that Queen Melissa would claim that her shoulder was hurting or that her hand was in pain when she slapped it to the canvas too hard.

UNBELIEVABLE,HUH?!!?

Also,when Zip blatantly choked Dixie's throat,one would think that Queen Melissa would call for a break.
But,The Queen would let Zip choke while she was distracted arguing with the fans.


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.

Despite tremendous,incomparable and insurmountable odds,Dixie got a second wind and fought her way back.


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!

Zip then Irish whipped Dixie in the ring ropes attemtiong to hit Dxie 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 shouldres down for the 1-2-3.
Dixie won in a very difficult,dramatic,but very outstanding match!

Due to her one-sided biased officiating,Queen Melissa was suspended by Gulf South Wrestling.
She hasn't wrestled since her suspension,much less she hasn't been seen from nor heard from since.....

A few matches later came another situation in a match involving Ricky "Rocket" Roberts and Mercury McCloud.
It was the same scenario that happened in their match a month ago.
This time,the match ended in a no-contest,but Roberts picked up where he left off a month earlier continuing his pulverizing pummelation on McCloud.
Dxie ran in and very physically pulled "The Rocket" off of McCloud.
A heated argument ensued,then unbeknowst to Dixie,Zip was behind her.
Just like last month,"The Rocket" pushed Dixie away and then Zip ambushed her from behind once again;shades of what happened last month.
Of course,Dixie wasn't going to put up with Zip's ambushing her no longer and once again and Dixie battled back with another mother of all catfights with Zip taking place once again.
Then Mercury and "The Rocket" began to fight each other and it took nearly all the
locker room,security and even GSW President Percy Pringle III to
break up both fracases.

I couldn't believe her ex-boyfriend got on the microphone having the gall and the utter audacity to directly tell you that Dixie had
absolutely no business being in the ring and that she belonged and
needed to stay back in the locker room.
In a flash,Dixie broke away from security,ran towards him and attacked him!
"Rocket" was fined $1,000 for his actions.

Why in the world all of a sudden after being together for nearly 2 years did Ricky "Rocket" Roberts turn his back on Dixie?
There was no explanation about the whole issue nor the reasoning for his change in
attitude.

Right then and there,GSW President Percy Pringle III ordered and made a mixed tag team match between Ricky "Rocket" Roberts and Zip versus Dixie and Mercury McCloud for the May GSW show in Grand Bay,AL.

The mixed tag team grudge match took place one month later at GSW's MAY MAYHEM show on Friday,May 19th,2006 as each combatant had a personal score to settle with their respective enemies.
As you could imagine,due to the animosity and volatility in nature between all 4 of these competitors,it was almost like stacked sticks of dynamite that was about to explode!
The guys took on the guys and the ladies took on the ladiess whenever a tag to them was made.
The match went back and forth between the four and,at times during the match,it was very chaotic.

There was a very bizarre and unexpected turning point near the end of the match.
After Ricky "Rocket" Roberts worked on Mercury McCloud's left knee and left leg during most of the match,McCloud somehow managed to escape and tagged Dixie.
Dixie began taking it to Zip.
She hit Zip with one of her finishing moves called "The Climax".
Just a few minutes later,Zip attempted to Irish Whip Dixie into a corner,but Dixie reversed it and threw her into a corner where the referee was standing,Zip squashed the ref and he was knocked unconscious.

Then you will
not believe what happened
next.
Dixie reached into her left boot and pulled out some brass
knuckles.
She put on those brass knuckles onto her right hand and
knocked Zip out cold.

Mercury,who later came to after his long battle
with Roberts,saw what Dixie did and he was very upset and confused as
to why Dixie did what she did.
Dixie told him that it was because of
her 3 year feud with Zip and she was getting even with her.
Next thing you know,Dixie,still with the brass knucks in her hand,hit Mercury
McCloud with them and knocked him out.

Like the late,great Hall Of Fame sportscaster and famed St.Louis Cardinals baseball radio announcer Jack Buck once said:
"I DON'T BELIEVE WHAT I JUST SAW!".
Neither did the crowd that was there in the audience that night.

Rocky "Rocket" Roberts came to and saw what Dixie did to both McCloud and to Zip.
She grabbed her arm and spun her around towards him with a very irate
and distraught look on his face.
His distraught and irate look turned into laughter,happiness and joy as Dixie jumped and leaped on top of him into his arms and the two very passionately hugged and kissed each other.

GSW founder and President Percy Pringle III was sitting at ringside
to witness the whole chain of events unfold.
As Dixie attempted to cover Zip for the win,he officially stopped the match and ruled it a no-contest.
Mercury came to,got on the microphone and said to both Dixie and "The Rocket" that
old saying "Birds of a feather flock together".
He referred to the newly called Bonnie and Clyde of Gulf South Wrestling more like two buzzards.

Both Ricky "The Rocket" Roberts and Dixie's break-upNEVER really was a break-up!
It was all a rouse;the proverbial "smoke-and-mirrors" trick,if you will.
The whole scenario with Dixie using the brass knucks and everything else was all a total,complete and planned set-up by the both of them from the getgo!

Nevertheless,they were back together again,or in this case,THEY NEVER
REALLY LEFT EACH OTHER
!!!


Then,Dixie was back to her old ways again reverting to the ways and means of a rulebreaking heel type of a wrestler.
Dixie was a very talented and very established female independent wrestler,but she was more into taking the unnecessary shortcuts to gain an advantage or to even win a match,such as was the case
in the manner she defeated Zip at the GSW "SUMMER SLOBBER KNOCKER" show in Citronelle,AL on June 3rd,2006.

Eight days later,Zip defeated Dixie when GSW debuted at Alabama's largest entertainment complex at The Whiskey in Dixie's hometown of Mobile,AL.

This officially was the last time these two ladies fought against each other.
Will we ever see Dixie and Zip rekindle their NEVER ENDING 3 and 1/2 year long feud?
In the immortal words to the title of the song of the former 1980's British rock group,ASIA:
"ONLY TIME WILL TELL".

For the next 3 months,women's wrestling at Gulf South Wrestling was more desolate than an Old West ghost town......
....that was until women's wrestling returned to GSW with a glorious,spectacular return!

Currently,Dixie is feuding with one of the most established and one of very top indy female wrestlers in the business,"The Belle Of Biloxi known as PASSION (pictured on the right).

Passion has worked with several wrestling organizations all over the United States and she was once trained by two former World Wrestling Entertainment superstars,the husband and wife team of Jazz and Rodney Mack.

I have seen this extremely beautiful and talented blonde bombshell wrestle all over and along the Gulf Coast area for several years.
Once at a Pensacola Wrestling Alliance (PWA) show in Pensacola,FL,she wrestled in an over-the-top-rope battle royal that consisted mostly of male wrestlers!
As a matter of fact,she threw a few of them over the top rope!

However,I must say that Passion is not just another pretty face by no stretch of the imagination.
This woman is very tenacious,aggressive,ruthless and extremely vicious,just as in the way as I described when I saw her wrestle recently in a one-on-one match against Dixie.

Passion is a very skilled,very tough and a very competitive wrestler,but you never would have known that by the way she defeated Dixie at The Whiskey and over at a GSW show in Loxley,AL when on both of those occasions she pinned Dixie by covering her and putting both of her feet on the middle ring ripes for extra added leverage with out the referee seeing any of this underhanded chicanery taking place for cheap 1-2-3 victories.

Make no mistake about it,Dixie will certainly have more than her hands full the next time when she takes on Passion in one-on-one ladies competition;but believe me,webheads,after seeing Dixie through the last 3 years take on many a female opponent and wrestle them in any and every type of wrestling match imaginable,"The Sexy Southern Belle" will be MORE than capable handling herself and will give Passion a very good run for her money when these two ladies face each other in the squared circle in the very near future.

On a personal note,Dixie recently received a major accomplishment
from the immensely popular worldwide indy women's wrestling YAHOO! group known as Indy
Divas
as she was voted by the group members and her fans as one of the co-August Indy Divas Of The Month!
Dixie was overwhelmed and was very happy when she received her award.
She was extremely honored to be voted by her fans and her peers.
She thanked all of her fans that voted for her and who have supported her throughout her wrestling career.

In a nutshell,I am very proud of Dixie and what she has achieved in her 4 years in the independent wrestling business.
I have seen and have witnessed many a match that she was involved in whether she was competing as a wrestler or as a wrestling manager through my many and extensive wrestling travels.
She has really shown me a lot through her courage,her desire,her will to win and her unbreakable spirit to never,ever surrender!

More importantly than that,I am equally proud and privileged to not only be an UNDISPUTED #1 fan of hers,but also calling her,as she does,as one of my best friends!!!!

I am very grateful to have met and to know one very special lady known as:
"THE SEXY SOUTHERN BELLE"
DIXIE!!!

INDY DIVA profile on DIXIE (Part Five:DIXIE IN ACTION AT GULF SOUTH WRESTLING/Volume One)!

GREETINGS WEBHEADS!


Welcome to another episodic installment in the saga to my Indy Diva profile of the very beautiful and talented female independent wrestler from the Gulf Coast,"THE SEXY SOUTHERN BELLE" known as DIXIE!

When I last left you while I wrote to you on my last blog,I mentioned to all you webheads that Dixie was wrestling for the Independent Wrestling Council (IWC) at Tillman's Corner in Theodore,AL from June of 2003 until they officially closed their doors for good on March 29th,2005.
I also mentioned to you that Dixie took a 6 month hiatus from the independent wrestling circuit.....

...which is where we'll pick up the story from here.

I went to an Alabama Wrestling Federation (AWF) show in Semmes,AL in September of 2005.
There was an evil female manager that was there who was managing local Gulf Coast indy wrestler "Marvelous" Marcel Pringle,the ofttimes wayward cousin to Percy Pringle III (a.k.a Paul Bearer,the former manager of WWE wrestling phenom,The Undertaker).
Her name is Queen Melissa.

There was a match that took place that night between Pringle and Gulf Coast wrestling legend "The Bullet" Bob Armstrong.
Armstrong won the match by disqualification due to Queen Melissa interfering in the match.
Both The Queen and Marcel began kicking and stomping upon "The Bullet".

All of a sudden,out of nowhere,unbeknowst to me and the crowd that were in attendance that night,there was a lady that came running towards the ring and speared Queen Melissa.
IT WAS NONE OTHER THAN DIXIE!
The crowd was on their feet screaming and hollering to the rafters of The Semmes Community Center when Dixie approached the ring.

Then,the mother of all catfights began as there was a lot of kicking and scratching and numerous rollovers where one lady was on top of the other.
Hair was being pulled by each of these feisty ladies and clothes were being ripped apart at the seams.

...AND YOU WONDER WHY I LOVE WOMEN'S WRESTLING SO MUCH!!!LOL!

Less than a month after The Queen's initial fracas with Dixie,she made an amicable split with "Marvelous" Marcel Pringle.
Queen Melissa was no longer a manager,she became a professional wrestler and she wanted to get revenge against Dixie.

Both of these ladies,
Dixie and Queen Melissa (staring at each other in the picture on the right) were about to get it on and set it off.
Like that former televison game show host Richard Dawson used to say:
"LET'S PLAY THE FEUD" !!!

The first time
when I saw these two wrestle against each other was in Dixie's hometown in Mobile,AL at the Mobile Fairgrounds in October of 2005.

It was not at an Alabama Wrestling Federation show,but it was a BRAND NEW Gulf coast wrestling organization that was started,founded and run by the afforementioned and distinguised Percy Pringle III and the name of his organization was called Gulf South Wrestling.
Both of these ladies were in a mixed tag team match where the guys wrestled against the guys and the ladies wrestled against the ladies.

Queen Melissa's mixed tag team partner was Canadian-born indy wrestler Aeon Flexx while Dixie's partner was her boyfriend,Ricky "Rokcet" Roberts.

Queen Melissa,who hadn't been in the business nor had been wrestling for very long,was a pretty good wrestler.
However,Queen Melissa was more like the type of wrestler that loved to use dirty,underhanded chicanery and foul play in doing WHATEVER it takes to win matches.
Dixie,on the other hand,used her skill and wrestling know-how to not only combat The Queen's dirty tactics,but also to win her matches over her unruly adversary.

On occasion,Dixie reached into her old bag of dirty tricks to fight fire with fire when it came to the likes of Queen Melissa.



Dixie and her man,"The Rocket" successfully won their mixed tag team that night at the inaugural GSW show.

During the next few months at GSW shows that were taking place in Grand Bay,AL and on occasion in Citronelle,AL,the Dixie/Queen Melissa feud continued to flourish as they were wrestling each other in mixed tag team matches as well as in single one-on-one ladies competition.

Despite her heelish,villainous ways and tried as she might,Queen Melissa just always seemed to come up short when it came to defeating Dixie as Dixie amassed a string of victories over "The Majesty of Mayhem".....

.....that was until when GSW had a show that took place in Grand Bay,AL in mid-February of 2006.

It was Dixie going at it once again one-on-one against Queen Melissa.
However,sitting at ringside on this particular evening was Dixie's most fiercest competitor when she wrestled her in Tillman's Corner in Theodore,AL at the defunct wrestling organization known as the Independent Wrestling Council (IWC).

It was none other than Dixie's notorious,nefarious arch nemesis,ZIP!






At first from the early going,
it was a normal,typical Queen Melissa/Dixie match-up.
Queen Melissa was cheating,using unruly,dirty tactics
to gain and take any and every advantage on Dixie while Dixie combatted her adversary with wrestling savvy and basic,tremendous wrestling skill and ability.

Near the end of the match,many times Queen Melissa kept leaving the ring going to the outside baiting Dixie to chase her around the ring.
The Queen did it once again and Dixie,who was in the ring at the time,motioned for her foe to step back into the ring.
The referee went outside and began arguing and telling Queen Melissa to get back into the ring.
While the referee and Dixie were both distracted,Zip immediately ran into the ring,hit Dixie from behind and performed Dixie's own finishing maneuver on her caled "The Rat Killer".
Zip soon ran out of the ring and out of the building like a thief in the night that robbed the First National Bank.
When the dirty deed was done,Queen Melissa ran back to the ring,covered an unconscious Dixie and hooked her leg as the referee counted down Dixie's shoulders for a very tawdry 1-2-3 victory.

Now,Dixie had not only ONE,but TWO low down,venomous,devilish women to deal with at Gulf South Wrestling:
QUEEN MELISSA and ZIP!

These three women would do battle one month later in a 3 way dance at a GSW show in Grand Bay,AL.
Whichever lady made any two of her other opponents to lose either by pinfall or to make them submit would win the match.
To say that Dixie had her back against the wall during this triple threat ladies encounter would be a very huge understatement.

NOTE:
THIS 3 WAY LADIES ENCOUNTER TOOK PLACE ON MARCH 24TH,WHICH IRONICALLY ENOUGH,HAPPENED ON MY BIRTHDAY!!!
MAN OH MAN,WHAT A VERY NICE BIRTHDAY GIFT I RECEIVED,HUH?LOL
!

Seeing that it was obvious that Queen Melissa and
Zip weren't going to go at each other,the referee made the match to be more like a 2-on-1 handicap match where the two allies,Zip and Queen Melissa,had to tag in and out.
Now,the deck was stacked against Dixie more than ever before!

But,much
to the utter surprise of Zip and The Queen,Dixie overcame her insurmountable obstacle and incredibly held her own against her two bitter arch rivals,as seen in this picture to the right!

At first the terrible twosome,Zip and Queen Melissa,were getting along just fine;until when one of them tried to pin Dixie because whenever either The Queen or Zip tried to attempt to pin Dixie for the win,the other would run in and break up the count.
I can't even begin to tell you how infuriated both of these ladies were with each other when that particular situation happened.

Somehow,this scuttlebutt that The Queen and Zip were having with each other gave Dixie so much very valuable and needed time to recuperate herself and get herself together.
Dixie battled back and single handledly took care of both Zip and Queen Melissa!

Where or how in the world Dixie found the inner strength to battle back,I will NEVER,EVER know.
Nevertheless,to say to least,it was an amazing comeback on Dixie's behalf.

Dixie finished off both her opposing adversaries.

First,she finished off Queen Melissa by dropping her like a bad habit in one of her finishers,"The Rat Killer".

Then,Zip grabbed Dixie from behind and Irish Whipped her into the ropes.
Zip attempted to finish Dixie off in a sidewalk slam,but Dixie countered Zip's sidewalk slam and finished her off with another one of her finishing
maneuvers called "The Climax".

Dixie covered Zip and hooked her leg for the 1-2-3 victory!

SOMEHOW...SOMEWAY....an extremely tired and battered Dixie overcame insurmountable odds and persevered defeating two indy female wrestlers in one match in one night!
