Results & Pictures from ACW in San Antonio, TX (March 20th, 2011)

by

Results and pictures from yesterday’s Anarchy Championship Wrestling show in San Antonio, TX courtesy of regular contributor, Brandon:

ACW was back in business in the 210 for their March show in Texas – “A Chain Reaction of Evil,” a night that displayed some insane wrestling from the Anarchists. But the real stars of the show were the American Joshis: Tag Champions, Rachel Summerlyn and Jessica James, Athena, Amanda Fox, and the returning Lillie Mae.

The Joshi action kick off with a pre-show match between “Five Star” Amanda Fox and the returning Lillie Mae, who took a brief hiatus from ACW. This match resulted in Amanda Fox on top against the “Hot Little Momma With a Pick Up Truck” Mae with the Ocana Roll while posing. It was a decent match, and good show from both girls. There were a few iffy spots in the match, but it picked up as it progressed. Best move of the match was when Lillie was choking Amanda with her foot, and from there Amanda wrapped her legs on Mae’s legs and rolled into a heel hook on Mae. Great amateur wrestling showing from the “Five Star.”

Exclusive: Athena Speaks on WSU Debut, 10,000 Tacks Match, Training Under Booker T, Tough Enough and More

by

The name Athena has popped up a lot on Diva Dirt over the past several months, with us even touting her one of our ‘Five to Watch‘ last year. This rising young talent took the wrestling world by storm in 2010, making a name for herself in Anarchy Championship Wrestling in Texas, as well as debuting to much praise for SHIMMER last September. We thought it was about time we got on the phone with the self-professed ‘Wrestling Goddess’ so you can get to know her a little better.

She’s already hit the headlines over the past week taking part in a death-defying match against Rachel Summerlyn — a 10,000 Tacks Match — this past Sunday, in which she was victorious. And now this weekend, she makes her WSU debut live on iPPV against Niya.

We discuss her all that, plus what it was like training with WCW, WWE and TNA legend Booker T and whether she’s been approached for Tough Enough.

Detailed Report & Pictures from ACW (Featuring 10,000 Tacks Match & Dog Collar Match)

by

Diva Dirt reader Brandon sent along his report from the Anarchy Championship Wrestling show last night, which featured a huge 10,000 Tacks Match between Athena and Rachel Summerlyn. Later, Lady Poison defeated Portia Perez to become the new ACW American Joshi Champion in a Dog Collar Match.

Check out his report and pictures below:

Athena vs. Rachel Summerlyn – 10,000 Thumbtacks Match. HOLY S%#$!!!!! You talk about the Daffney taking crazy bumps. Well after seeing this match, You can do nothing else but to condole these two woman wrestlers by going through the punishment. Rachel is highly known for these death-style matches, so it was expected for her, and not Athena. Athena in person is H-O-T!! As for the match, to me, it was my pick of the two Joshi matches. Crazy spots on the tacks from both women, like Athena snapmaring Rachel on the tacks, Athena diving through the ropes on Rachel through chairs, Rachel hitting her signature Gory Bomb on Athena through the tacks, then pulling the Texas Cloverleaf on Athena on the tacks, but Athena’s Submission Squad buddies interfered, and broke up the hold. The end happened when Athena jumped from the stage on Rachel through a barbed-wire table full of tumbtacks with diving double knees on Rachel’s face, and got the three count.

The Five to Watch 2010: Athena

by

Welcome to The Five to Watch 2010! Diva Dirt is always on the look-out for bright, young talent breaking into the scene in women’s wrestling. Always with a finger on the pulse of up and coming talent, over the next week, we will bring to you the five talents we that we feel could be breakout stars in the future. Meet the Class of 2010…

ATHENA

Who is she?
22-year old Athena has been making quite a name for herself in the past few years. Working mostly out of the Texas area, Athena has quickly become one of the fastest rising stars on the independent scene. Trained by Skandor Akbar, a veteran in the business, Athena has the ring skills to back up her cocky (and sometimes immature) attitude. Although she only has three years under her belt as a pro, Athena has proven she can mix it up with some of the best in the business. Most notably, Athena took on MsChif in the first round of Anarchy Championship Wrestling’s 2010 American Joshi Queen of Queens tournament in a surprisingly even match.

Her story so far…
Since making her pro wrestling debut three years ago, Athena has had some very impressive matches against the likes of Malia Hosaka, Jessica James and MsChif. She also managed to defeat Rachel Summerlyn earlier this year for the ACW American Joshi Title but lost it back to her two weeks later. Speaking of championships, Athena (under the name Trouble) is also the current Women’s Champion in PWA, which is run by former WWE Superstar, Booker T. Athena made her debut at SHIMMER Women Athletes last week and despite being announced as a pre-show talent, was featured on three of the four volumes taped, impressing many in the process. No doubt, Athena will be part of future SHIMMER shows, bringing her to an even wider audience.
