Ronda Rousey gets involved in PWG event

20141020-155033.jpg

This past Friday on October 17th 2014 UFC battemweight champion Ronda Rousey attended the PWG (pro wrestling Guerrilla) event in Reseda California with fellow training partners and UFC fighters Shayna Baszler and Jessamyn Duke. Rousey had to leave the event early since she had training in the morning the next day as she preps for her title defense in January. However the champ had some fun before jetting out. The “rowdy” one got involved in one of the matches directly from where she was sitting in the front row. She was prompted by one of the wrestlers to chop his opponents chest in Ric Flair fashion and Rousey did just that which led to cheers and woos from the crowd. You can read more on the story here http://www.foxsports.com/ufc/haymaker/ronda-rousey-gets-involved-in-local-california-pro-wrestling-show-101914?cmpid=tsmtw:fscom:ufconfox

Man oh man what I would’ve given to see that happen. Kudos to the wrestlers of PWG for getting the crowd involved and putting on a show all on their own.

Things like this really really make me want a “4Horsewomen” invasion in the WWE: I know without a shadow of a doubt it would be “best for business” I guess only time will tell

Holly Holm To Make UFC Debut At UFC 181

Holly Holm

Undefeated former world boxing champion Holly Holm will make her long-awaited UFC debut on December 6th against The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 18 veteran Raquel Pennington at UFC 181 in Las Vegas.

Holm (7-0), a 32-year old who compiled a 33-2-3 boxing record & several world titles across 3 different weight classes, is unbeaten since making her transition into MMA in 2011. In that time, Holm has emerged as one of the brightest prospects in the women’s 135-pound division, knocking out 6 of her 7 opponents, often in spectacular fashion.

Her UFC 181 opponent, Raquel Pennington (4-4) has split her last 2 UFC appearances.

Jessica Eye vs Leslie Smith set for UFC180

20140926-194303.jpg

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 🙂

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

The 4Horsewomen invade WWE Summerslam

20140817-212904.jpg

Tonight WWE held their 2nd biggest PPV of the year “Summerslam” in Los Angeles CA. With it be held in LA one would expect to see some big names in the crowd, and indeed we did. The camera showed UFC Women’s Batemweight champion Ronda Rousey in the crowd. They even gave her a notable mention. Also in the crowd were the rest of the “4Horsewomen” and MMA stars Shayna Baszler, Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir. The girls were seeing backstage with WWE divas Paige and Natalya, WWE superstars Dalph Ziggler, Brock Lesnar and legendary manager Paul Heyman.
The love doesn’t stop there though because Stephanie McMahon flashed the “4’s” to the girls as she walked out to her match with Brie Bella (which can be seen here https://gfycat.com/ifrt/DigitalHeavenlyAmericanbulldog)

I’m sure this was a mark out moment not just for me but for a MMA and WWE fans alike

If you would like to follow the 4Horsewomen on twitter they’re twitter handles are @Rondarousey @QosBaszler, @jessamynduke, @MarinaShafir

Marloes Coenen & Julia Budd sign to Bellator MMA

20140814-095144.jpg

On Monday rumors started circulating that Bellator MMA would be the new home of legendary Gina Carano, since then owner of Bellator Scott Coker has denied that rumor but other sources say it has indeed been in talks. While we wait for those answers however I’m sure this morning’s announcement will hold us over until then. It was announced this morning that the newest members of Bellators 145lb decision are none other then long time WMMA standouts Marloes Coenen & Julia Budd. http://www.bellator.com/articles/bellator-mma-sign-julia-budd-marloes-coenen

I don’t know about you but I think that’s huge and for what it’s worth I think Coker is a smart business man. The UFC’s main women’s division is the 135 division with Bellator focusing on the 145ers Dana white and Scott Coker won’t have to be chopping at the bit for female stars. Further more this indeed puts Bellator right up there in completion with the flagship of MMA that is the “UFC”.

What do you guys think of this announcement, and what 145er would you like to see in Bellator next?
