The good folks over at SLAM! Wrestling have just posted a review of ChickFight: Goldrush, the 3-DVD set of our shows from Kezar Pavilion in San Francisco which is available at retail locations nationwide.

Here’s a quote from the story..

These girls are intense and brutal. No one’s fooling around here with thinly veiled beauty contests or strip teases. A couple of inter-gender bonus matches reveal the ladies aren’t afraid to mix it up with the lads either.

Adding to the smash-mouth action are the girls’ impressive and varied arsenals. Don’t expect a clothesline exhibit here, as one is treated to a mix of old school fundamentals and a variety of innovative acrobatic and ground moves, including a plethora of submission and pinning combinations.

I love to read things like this because it means we are doing what we set out to accomplish.  Prove to the world that women can fight and wrestle just as good (an in some cases, far better) than their male counterparts.

Here’s a direct link to the rest of the story. Please be sure to email the author and let him you are a fan of ChickFight and appreciate his support.

Female Fight League is pleased to announce the newest addition to our ChickFight broadcasting team, Holly Hearse. Holly has been a fan of professional wrestling her entire life and is a perfect fit with the wild women of ChickFight.  As a San Francisco-native, Holly brings her attitude and unique style to the ChickFight TV show, which is filmed in our downtown San Francisco studios and airs weekly in six countries on broadcast television.

The enchanting, Ms. Hearse shared with us some of her thoughts on female fighting and professional wrestling.

“My fascination with pro wrestling came at a young age. I remember sitting on the couch with my dad and younger brother hearing the  threats made from one wrestler to another that would ultimately be settled in a match later in the night. The excitement and suspense was overwhelming! I was instantly a fan of this crazy sport. Cage matches, Ladder matches, the famous Loser-Leaves-Town matches… what’s not to love? Wrestlers of all shapes and sizes, the ones you rooted for and the ones you booed.

I remember my brother and I watching “The Godfather” come out to wrestle and my mother would walk over and cover my brother’s eyes because she didn’t want him seeing the way the women were being used during his entrance. The thin, long legged, scantily clad strippers would gyrate in the ring before the match would begin.

The matches I looked forward to that involved a woman was when I’d see Luna Vachon wrestle. I thought to myself…we can do that?!! Women are capable of being as tough as those other guys? Wow! I was so impressed that I would have dreams that I could kick ass. I’d be running up walls and delivering kicks to the heads of bad guys. Seeing women wrestle made me more confident as a woman.

So here I am. The host of ChickFight. Watching these ladies show the world just what a woman can do. How lucky am I?”

Please join us in welcoming Holly to the world of ChickFight and the Female Fight League.  Female wrestling is about to get interesting!
