Diva
Another Wrestler to Try MMA?

Lisa Marie Varon, know to wrestling fans as Victoria, may be the next wrestling star to give MMA a try. Varon's manager, J.T. Stewart, also manages MMA star Rich Franklin and thinks she has a future in the sport. But wait you ask? Isn't she with TNA?
What's the Future for Women's MMA?

Our own Jonathan Snowden says that after Carano-Cyborg, there's no place else to go.
Strikeforce has devoted almost no time or effort into creating a new crop of contenders. There are no fighters waiting in the wings to challenge the new champion. Instead, the top fighter in the sport will have to wait for a challenger to be manufactured in an eight-woman tournament. It's either that or promote a fight against an opponent like Marloes Coenen, a Dutch fighter that American fans are unfamiliar with.
While many are using this opportunity to proclaim women's MMA as the next big thing, the tremendous success of this show was due more to Carano's status than any general interest in seeing women fight.
The fans in the building were raucous and thunderously loud, but when Carano fell, so did the noise level in the HP Pavilion. The silence was an ominous sound for female fighters and fans of the sport.

Madusa: Role Model

Madusa Micelli has somehow found a new profession that attracts even more rednecks than wrestling.
``I've opened many doors where you're seeing more and more women in the business,'' said Miceli, who started in 1999 under Dennis Anderson, the man behind Grave Digger. ``It's phenomenal. I feel fortunate and lucky to be able to do that.
``Being a role model brings tears to your eyes sometimes. Seeing the kids standing in line for hours, I'm very lucky in what I do.''
Brooke Hogan: "I would kick ass"

As the clock on her fifteen minutes of fame hits minute 13, Brooke Hogan is down to working the only marks left to her: wrestling fans. Do the people want Hulkamania to run wild once again? Brooke thinks, yes, yes they do.
Michelle McCool may be injured, no longer loving life

According to various reports all over the net (including one that was inexplicably made a members only article on Observer/F4W site; I mean c'mon Dave, it's a house show report...), WWE Women's Champion Michelle McCool appeared to injure her leg last night at the Smackdown house show in Hampton Beach, NH. What does the future hold for the woman that the aforementioned Dave Meltzer once referred to as "a favorite of older men in the company"?
