VALKYRIE WOMENS PRO WRESTLING PRESENTS NYC'S FIRST ALL-WOMENS EVENT
Brooklyn to host first womens-only sports entertainment spectacle in NYC.
The sports entertainment world has been dominated by men since the beginning of its inception. In recent years, shows like E!'s "Total Divas" have shown the lives of women in the world of professional wrestling. While entertaining in its own way and proving there is interest in lady wrestlers, the show fails to focus on what many wrestling fans pay money to see: in-ring action!
Enter VALKYRIE Womens Professional Wrestling, the company that aims to change your view of women in not only professional wrestling, but as a whole: as competitive, athletic fighting machines. The focus of VALKYRIE is to expose the in-ring action and tenacity of an all-female roster. Debuting on May 24th at the Ludus Wrestling Center (133 29th Street, Brooklyn, NY), this will be the first all-womens wrestling show in the history of New York, a major milestone in not only professional wrestling but in civil rights, after a fifty year ban on womens professional wrestling in New York state was was lifted in 1972.
"Wrestling historians can tell you all about how women weren't allowed anywhere near in-ring competition until the 1970s, and even from there it was a huge mountain to climb to get away from hair pulling and eye rakes to actually showing off their capabilities in the ring," commented Vice President Phil Stamper. "We are looking to showcase some of the best female wrestlers out there right now in a serious, sports-driven atmosphere. This is the first of its kind in New York City, and we aim not to break the mold but to shatter the foundation."
The inaugural show will feature the first ever "International Joshi Grand Prix" tournament to crown the best of athletic competition. VALKYRIE provides a truly international roster composed of American, Japanese, Canadian, Colombian, and Puerto Rican stars. Eight of the world's top female wrestlers will be competing for the right to call themselves the best, featuring:
La Rosa Negra
Jessie Belle Smothers
Sumie Sakai
"The Baddest Woman on the Planet" Bonesaw Jessie Brooks
Hania the Howling Huntress
Mistress Belmont
Cherry Bomb
Davienne
NON-TOURNAMENT SPECIAL CHALLENGE MATCH
Former NWA World Womens Champion Kacee Carlisle vs. Former TNA Wrestling star Mickie "Moose" Knuckles
Hosted by Master of Ceremonies Larry Legend!
Warriors of Wrestling presents
