April Hunter Wrestling La Tigresa in IWA

Here's a video that was very popular on my old Lucha Women blog.
It's a video posted on YouTube by dindio30 of April Hunter taking on La Tigresa in the Puerto Rican wrestling promotion, International Wrestling Association (IWA).

Of course April Hunter was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and wrestled a lot here in the States, but she still has quite a following in Mexico from the time she spent working for various wrestling promotions there.

The IWA was actually started in Japan by promoter Victor Quiones in 1994.
In 1999, the Hispanic version was created and up until 2001, IWA was a member of the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA).
From 1999 to 2001, it was also a WWE Developmental territory.

Anyway, here is a match from IWA's Juicio Final 4 back in 2004 with April Hunter taking on La Tigresa.
You know usually April has a size advantage over her opponents.
But not in this case.
You have April at five foot nine, 150 pounds against La Tigresa at five foot eight, 167 pounds.

Yuki Star - Luchadora

http://superluchas.net/

Mexican luchadora Yuki Star was born on May 10th, 1994 in Mexico State, Mexico.
She is the younger sister of masked luchadora Vaneli (Vanelly).
Both Yuki and Vaneli were trained by Cinthia Moreno, Alda Moreno, Esther Moreno and Araña de Plata Jr. (Spider Silver).
Yuki made her lucha libre debut on August 15th, 2010 at Arena Azteca Budokan.
And yes, she was only sixteen years old at the time.
Even though she has only been wrestling for a little over a year, she has worked under the ring names Yuki Star, Oyuki Star and Sexy Kendra.
So far, I have only seen her listed as working for the Desastre Total Ultraviolento (DTU) Mexican wrestling promotion.
She is five foot two and weighs 137 pounds.

Sarah Stock to WWE?

Luchadora Sarah Stock, Dark Angel, Sarita, has wrestled all over the world.
She has worked for wrestling promotions like Manitoba's Top Rope Championship Wrestling, Afa Anoa'i's World Xtreme Wrestling (WXW), Extreme Canadian Championship Wrestling and many others.
Then Sarah moved down the map and went to Lucha Libre Femenil where she began wrestling masked as Dark Angel.
Sarah lost her mask to Princesa Sugey and went to Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA).
She wrestled for them for awhile, then moved on to Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) where she began to enjoy great fame and success.
Of course then she was hired by the American wrestling promotion TNA, and began to wrestle here as Sarita.
Still loving her Mexican fans, she split her time up between TNA and CMLL, appearing in shows in Mexico and even winning the CMLL Bodybuilding Championship four years in a row.
In TNA, she and Taylor Wilde won the inaugural Knockout Tag Team Championship.

But now rumor has it, that when her TNA contract is up, she will go to WWE.
Actually, a lot of TNA Knockouts seem to be looking at making that move.

But will the WWE allow Sarita to compete for them and still do CMLL shows?
Of course Vince wants to be a driving force in Mexico (as well as the rest of the world), so could Vince see this as an "in" to get into Mexico?

Now, how will they use Sarah if they get her?
They are not known for using female talent very well, just look at Jillian Hall and Katie Lee Burchhill.
Will Sarah just be regulated to comedy spots?
Or could we see a WWE title belt around her waist?
And how will she affect ticket sales?
Defecting from TNA didn’t seem to help Gail Kim much, but that was a WWE/TNA/WWE thing.
Sarah would be coming in fresh.
Plus she has a very big and loyal fan base.
I think Sarah could, as Mick Foley once said, "...put a lot of butts in the seats."

So we have to wait and see.
TNA, WWE, CMLL..Which way will she go?
