The story: After having one night of practice in a professional boxing ring earlier the week of this the first show, with no give or bounce, these mostly handful of strippers were about to change the face of Women's Wrestling as the world knew it. Who would’ve ever known. Everything would change for Female Wrestlers including how they were utlizied in the ring instead of just outside eye candy, and how about seeing not just one televised match per W.W.E. or TNA national broadcast, but two or three female appearances on these TV shows currently. This is not a concidence, or some fluff hype piece to put over what this company really did have a hand in blazing the way for women in wrestling, whether they (the actual wrestling talent used) liked it or not, as we offered a heavy dose of T&A in our shows.
This is where it all began. It began in the Banquet rooms, Fire halls, and Nightclubs on the East Coast, with the home base being Philadelphia, PA. The Dangerous Women of Wrestling featured strippers-turned-wrestlers, former WWE, ECW and WCW Superstars also lent their star power to make the most wildest, sexiest and out of control wrestling events ever put on by any company… ANYWHERE!
From this very first show controversy became no stranger. Controversy surrounded this Women’s Wrestling company at our very first show at The Days Inn in Allentown, PA as the building was cited with several fines from local authorities for indecent exposure during our event “The Conception”. This would only be the start on run in with local authorities where the shows were being held.
This event was also the debut of the infamous 12 x 12 ring (a very small ring compared to the normal 16x16 or 20x20 rings which all other wrestling companies used), which only arrived a day or two earlier, as the ring crew tried to figure out their heads from their asses (they claimed to know what they were doing). It took them five hours to set up the ring outside the storage unit when it arrived, as this was their practice to set up for the first show. Not only did controversy start surronding us early, so did opening the doors late, and starting the show late. It took the ring crew an extremely long time to set up the ring, if it was even set up right in the first, as you will notice loose ring ropes throughtout the show.
Excitement filled the area "backstage", which really was just a hallway tarped off. Nicole Bass arrived early, and one of the crew members had to grab Ryan Shamrock from the airport. The strippers really had no idea who the two former W.W.E. stars were, they just want to take their clothes off and make money. They were neverous and excited at the same time. There were rumors traveling quickly throughout the crew members about Nicole Bass and her sexuality, as the strippers started to raise questions about Nicole. No matter, Nicole was very cool with everyone and was a presence backstage and in the ring, she had true star qualities (and she was very massive too). Nicole also brought that stereotypical attitude of “I’m not jobbing to anyone here”, as she only cared about putting herself over (meaning simply, she was only concerned about making herself look good, as she felt she was “above” the talent in the locker room, besides that of maybe Ryan Shamrock who appeared on W.W.E. TV and live shows.) The doors finally opened as drunk Chuck from the ring crew were literally finishing up the ring as people filed into the building. The crowd of mostly guys filed in and started drinking immediately. Steve The Sound Guy made his announcements, the music hit and the show started.
After editing, and reviewing the footage in detail we noticed that there were three or four other people videotaping the event. We would love to see that footage and possibly include it as a new version release of this show. We would like to offer anyone who has the non-DWOW release version (the one we sell), to send us a copy in exchange for 10 DVD’s of their choice. E-mail us and tell us you have a copy and let’s get you some FREE Women’s Wrestling DVD’s.
***Disclaimer: Like stated above “only if we knew what we were doing from the start”, that statement also includes all video taping of the live shows. As each show goes, the camera work and production does improve. This includes the actual shot, content, and lighting. If this footage wasn’t so important to the history of Women’s Wrestling, we would just thrown it away. We will do our best in lighten up the dark video, editing dead shots, and dressing the video up with graphics to make it more pleasing to the eye.
