Why I Am Forced To Write This Post
When Ed Boston and I decided to give full control of our website to Vanessa Vasquez I was sure that my days of contributing on here would be few and far between. I am not into the MMA scene and now more then ever I feel the need to defend the history and tradition of Professional wrestling. Today I was made aware of the reports circulating online about Brock Lesnar not doing anything with the WWE until January. This is the icing on the cake for what has been a long few weeks of being an extremely frustrated fan of professional wrestling.
While the WWE and Vince McMahon have no doubt done a lot of good things for pro wrestling, the truth is they have also ruined it. With the WWE developing it’s own genre of wrestling known as sports entertainment. This in recent years has hurt and offended the old school wrestling fan and those who are students of it’s history. One of the greatest things about being a fan of pro wrestling is being able to have that suspension of disbelief.
However thanks to the internet fans have become victim to the WWE completely not even trying to make us believe in anything. No effort is put in to storylines to make us wonder if what we see is real or not. Have we really become so obsessed with having to see behind the curtain that the WWE just doesn’t care anymore? I believe there are many factors which have brought us to this point in pro wrestling.
The fact that Brock Lesnar is not going to be defending the WWE championship or not even appearing on WWE programming in general until January is a huge slap in the face of pro wrestling and it’s respected tradition. The fact that they are not even going to acknowledge the traditional 30 days clause with Lesnar is ridiculous! They just used it months ago to get the title away from Daniel Bryan when he had to leave. How stupid do you think we are WWE? Has this multi-billion dollar corporate entity become so wrapped up in itself that tradition doesn’t matter? I am so tired of hearing the same old excuse “it’s just entertainment”. Tell that to all the people that throughout history have worked hard to make wrestling something special. Now the WWE treats their flagship broadcast (RAW) like it’s just another television sitcom. The WWE championship has become nothing more then a prop.
If you are a fan of PRO WRESTLING and not just WWE’s SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT now is the time to speak up. The only chance we have to change things with the monopoly giant known as WWE is to hit them where it hurts the almighty dollar. Competition is good for the industry. While other promotions might not reach the same level of success as WWE, independent promotions all over the world exist I believe that we are at a crossroads. It’s time to reclaim our passion for pro wrestling. Support your local independent promotions! Like politics this movement to take back wrestling begins locally.

Jessica Eye vs Leslie Smith set for UFC180
The WMMA God’s are trying to kill me, and quite possibly the whole WMMA fan base. It may sound like a negative connotation but THIS is a good thing. Earlier today it was announced that Zingano will be next to face Rousey if she could beat Nunes tomorrow. Dana also said he would like Rousey to have a quick turn around and fight in march as well!
The awesome news doesn’t stop there because its official that when the UFC makes their first appearance in Mexico not only will heavyweight champ Cain Velasquez be defending his title against Fabricio Werdum but we also have an AWESOME women’s batemweight bout.
It’ll be Jessica “Evil” Eye VS Leslie “Peacemaker Smith. Eye is looking for her first official UFC win. In October 13th of last year Eye picked up a split decision win against Sara Kaufman but it was overturned due to Eye’s usage of marijuana. Then in February she suffered a lost to Alexis Davis.
As far as smith goes she is coming off a win over Jessamyn Duke from July. This fight should be a good one. Who’s excited? I know I am 🙂

Can Cat Zingano finally be squaring off against Ronda Rousey?
Today yours truly is physically exhausted because I decided to take a trip down memory lane of my childhood and I ended up staying up to nearly 4am watching YouTube videos. However even though my body is physically tired my mind is wide awake with excitement and the headline for this article is why. It was announced today that UFC president Dana White said if Cat Zingano can defeat her opponent Amanda Nunes this Saturday at UFC178 she will indeed be next in line for Ronda Rousey’s Batemweight title.
READ MORE HERE: (http://mmajunkie.com/2014/09/dana-white-cat-zingano-to-receive-ronda-rousey-title-fight-with-ufc-178-victory)
I don’t know about you but I’ve been waiting for this bout for quite sometime. Zingano had an impressive win over Miesha Tate early last year earning her a number 1 contender spot but it was put to a holt after Zingano suffered an ACL injury.
On top of that Zingano faced a tragedy when she lost her husband. Now that the dust is settled Zingano may finally be getting her chance on January 3rd at UFC 182 but 1st she has to defeat Amanda Nunes. Now no disrespect intended to Nunes but I hope Zingano can pull out the win because I’m sure I speak for a lot of fight fans when I say “I really want to see this fight” the question also remains if Nunes wins does that make her #1 contender?
One thing is for sure UFC182 is going to be great regardless because both Anderson Silva and Nick Diaz will be making their octagon returns. With the possibility of Zingano Vs Rousey fight fans will have a filed day.

Dawn of a new day
Hey guys!
Our site is back up. Yay. As many of you may or may not know yesterday on DTRTwrestling’s Sunday Podcast the announcement was made that I (Vanessa) will be taking over complete ownership of the site. What exactly does this mean? It means “DTRTwrestling” is now my soul responsibility. It means that I also will be taking complete control of the social media accounts. My buddies Ed and Trevor have built this site from the ground up and feel that it’s time to move on from the site. They trust me so they have elected me as the new owner. Our contributor John Bass will stay on staff and Ed Boston will continue joining me for our weekly podcast until the end of October.
As far as new things and new direction of the site goes it’ll pretty much revelry the things that are near and drear to my heart. What does that mean you ask? Well here’s your answer. The focal point will indeed be women in the world of pro wrestling and MMA. Rest assured though because the men of those sports will also be getting plenty of love so this isn’t some type of sexist reconstruction. A new name will also be given to the site and the social media accounts (new name TBA)
So guys and gals that may be reading this I hope you will continue to follow this site on the new journey it’s about to embark on. Your support is why I LOVE what I do!
Shout out to Ed and Trevor for trusting me right this it means the world. You guys have become like family to me and I hope you know I truly do mean that! To John thank you for wanting to stick with me.
There you have it guys new things are happening so get excited. Love you all
