Tina Ferrari (2)

Once again, an interesting clip care of you tube.
A nice tribute to Tina/Nina/Lisa/Ivory...

Hope you all like it.

Tina Ferrari

Lisa Moretti was Tina Ferrari on GLOW, Nina on POWW, Lisa Moretti on the LPWA and Ivory in the WWF.

With the exception of the LPWA, where oddly enough, she was not given any special type of status, she has been a champion, or championship contender everywhere she worked.

I like her a lot. She is a wonderful performer and very athletic. She's also pretty hot.

Although I didn't particulalrly care for her first GLOW outfit, or about the way she wore her hair, she managed to attract my attention nevertheless. Luckily for me, her outfit was modified early on in GLOW to get rid of the tutu little skirt look.

Besides having a very pretty face, I was particularly taken in by her midsection and thighs.

Over the years she has provided several memorable moments. For the pro circuit (as opposed to the producers who make custom videos), I would say that was pretty good. When compared to other stars like Misty Blue or Magnificent Mimi, there is quite a bit of footage of her that I like a lot.

The collage above is a homage to some of those moments. The top part is from an LPWA match against Rusty Thomas where Lisa takes a ddt and is then pinned. It happened very, very quickly, but then again, that's what slow motion is for. If I am not mistaken, that was her final appearance on the LPWA and they did not let her go out on top. Rusty Thomas Irish whipped her into the ropes and when she came flying off them, Rusty nailed her with a DDT. Lisa was stunned and pinned!!!

Further down are pictures from a GLOW match where the heel (I forget her character name) uses her "mojo bone" to take control of Tina's mind and proceeds to administer a lot of punishment to her. Tina didn't lose the match, but it was still really good for me. It also kind of fit into my superheroine fantasies and I could imagine this powerful, in control heroine dismantled after falling into an hypnotic trap.

POWW was where "Nina" really had a chance to strut her stuff. For starters, she looked AMAZING. Her outfit was great and she was in terrific physical condition. In other words, she looked really, really hot! She also got to use the considerable athletic ability she had. I actually had the privilage of attending a live POWW show at the Felt Forum at Madison Square Garden where she was the main event. In her match against Sasha the Russian, she was suplexed off of the top rope!!! I loved that one.
My all time favorite Tina/Nina/Lisa match was a multi fall extravaganza where she went up against Sasha the Russian (Dementia from GLOW if I am not mistaken). Nina dominated at first, pinning Sasha over and over again. The tables then turned and it was Nina's turn to get pinned a number of times. She was so good at selling being on the losing side and I LOVED seeing that match.
I have a vauge recollection of another POWW match she had against Hot Rod Andy. If I am not mistaken, it was a no DQ match that she wound up winning, but at some point I believe she was Ko'd briefly outside the ring.

Her WWE heyday as Ivory came at a time when I was out of the US for a few years and as such, I probably missed out on some more memorable moments. I did see one match against Chyna which was a squash ( a good thing), but she was dressed in a white shirt and long pants and her hair was pulled back (a not good thing). This fits in nicely with the previous post in this blog that deals with a situation where everything falls in place almost perfectly. This Wrestlemania match can be considered the antithesis to that.
I hope we have not seen the last of this wonderful wrestling performer. Perhaps her best moments ( MY best moments, actually) are yet to come.

Vanessa Harding

Just take one look at Vanessa Harding and you could see why she hit me like thunder on a sunny day. If you've been following this blog then you KNOW that she slides right in to the "prototype" character. I dream about women like this. She's got the looks, the body, the attitude, and -being professionally trained- the skills! For me she's like Madussa Micelli, Misy Blue Simmes or Magnificent Mimi but with two major advantages. She's still active and she does custom videos! That means that there is still a chance that she will be in my ultimate women's wrestling fantasy scenario. I have the serious hots for this beautiful & sexy woman!

The first time I saw her was in a Lady Victoria wrestling video. She looked great, acted great, and even though she ended up winning both matches by a technicality (They were both the same plot, but I didn't mind), she took a tremendous pounding in both. it was great. A big, powerful looking (and sexy) woman being decimated by a piledriver. "Holy Schwing, Batman!" A dominant powerhouse being taken out by a sleeper hold. It's almost too much!
She has worked the pro circuit for several years and has had her eyes on the WWE and Japanese federations. She has worked her way into being the consummate professional who is able to take bumps as well as dish them out.

In the past few years, she has done custom work for Double Trouble, Sleeperkid and several other similar productions. I haven't seen any of those videos yet, but they are definitely near the top of my "must see" list.

One of the best developments for me recently is that she began wrestling for Sabre Studios. This is great because Sabre really puts in a lot of effort into making a top quality product. Also, I am their webmaster which means that sometimes I get to have some input into how the matches will unfold.

Her first match for Sabre Studios was released in the fall of 2006. I'm not sure what she thought coming into it, but she soon discovered that no matter how much of a big shot she was in other federations, things at Sabre are different. She went up against the formidable Diana Knight in an exciting back and forth ring battle that pushed both women to their limits. I can tell you that Vanessa emerged victorious in the end, and it is a testament to her strength and fortitude that she was able to come back from taking a serious, serious beating. In fact, for the first time ever in a pro ring, this powerful and dominant woman lost her top! Yes, for the first time in her career this present and future legend was pounded to the extent that she could not prevent her opponent from removing her top. Nevertheless, being the true pro that she is, she managed to come back and prevail in this hard fought battle. I for one cannot wait to see what her future at Sabre will bring. I certainly know what I want to see and I plan to make my feelings known. How about any of you? What would you like to see Vanessa do at Sabre Studios?
