Whatever happened to the WOWe Women of Wrestling Promotion?

Sure, it was a bit corny.

A bit cooky.

The booking was grade school poor............

But, they had some really hot females!

I am talking about the old WOW Women of Wrestling promotion that existed for a very short time between October 2000 to March 2001.

Do you remember that female wrestling promotion?

You know, the one with very little talent at all, that basically tried to revamp something old that didn't work well into something "new"...........that was exactly the same thing?

The promoter of the WOWE was non other than David McLane who was the founder and creater of the all female wrestling GLOW promotion back in the 1980's. Jeannie Buss was an owner as well.

If you have watched GLOW in the past, you can see that David was obviously using the EXACT SAME FORMULA with this new promotion.

The announcers were David McClaine, Bobby Heenan of WWF-WWE-WCW fame, and Lee Marshall who was once involved with WCW.

For those who remember, they aired 20 1 hour episodes and only 1 PPV before calling it quits.

The wrestling roster included the following females:

The Beach Patrol - Sandy and Summer
(The character Summer was non other than Bobbi Billiard! Sandy's character was played by Tamie Sheffield.)

Beckie the Farmer's Daughter- Renee Madison Cole
Boom Boom
Bronco Billie - Lisa Danielle
Caged Heat
Caliente - Rachel Iverson
Danger - Elle Alexander
Disciplinarian - Kristen Davidson
Farah
Harley's Angels
Hammerin Heather Steele - Christina Tomaziesski Colby
Ice Cold - Inga Waggoner
Jacklyn Hyde - Vasilika Vanya Marinkovic
Jade - Jennifer Lee Chan
Jane Blond - Ella Carter
Jungle Grrrl - Erica Porter
Lana Star - played by Lana Kinnear - my personal favorite character
Law & Order
Lotus - Jeannie Kim
Mystery - Nicole Ochoa
Paradise
Phantom - Lynnette Thredgold
Poison - Kina Van Vleet
Randi Rah Rah
Riot - April Littlejohn
Roxy Powers - Natalie T. Yeo
Selina Majors - once known as Bambi
Slam Dunk
Tanja
Terri Gold - Heather Millard
Thug - once known as Peggy Lee Leather
Wendi Wheels

Rumor has it that Gene Simmons of Kiss actually tried to help revive WOWE when they ran out of money after their first and only PPV..........WOW UNLEASHED.

But, alas, the old "family friendly" formula did not go over well.

In this Catfight Report editor's opinion.........."bad and sexy" can take a promotion a long way. We all like a little bit of T&A. Many of us like women who are bad girls and can kick ass at the same time.

I am all for another female wrestling promotion.

But, hopefully, in the near future, they actually hire females with real talent, and realize that they do not have to follow the "pyschology" of other wrestling promotions to be massively successful.

So all in all I feel like it was a good effort, but it came up very short.

YOUR OPINIONS PLEASE!
