Wrestling. Wow! Is it just me or did 2003 fly by?!
Let's remember a little of what happened with some of our G.L.O.R.Y. Girls here in the past year...
* Back in January, Macaela Mercedes headed up to Toronto, Canada and challenged then-G.L.O.R.Y. Champion Phoenix for the title. It took a couple of tries, but she succeeded! Now working hard at OVW (just one step away from WWE), Macaela is still our champion. But for how long?
* In June, Gail Kim (known to G.L.O.R.Y. and indy fans as Felina), debuted on Monday Night Raw...where she proceeded to win the WWE Women's Title in her very first match! Felina became the very first G.L.O.R.Y. Girl to make it to the "Big Show" and G.L.O.R.Y. Fans were thrilled to see it happen!
* This past summer saw the retirement of Diane Von Hoffman from active ring competition. The ring legend is currently recovering from knee surgery, but she has indicated that she would like to remain active in the sport as a trainer for new girls coming up the ranks. We wish Diane the best of luck and hope to see her back in wrestling in some capacity very soon.
* Syren was a breakout G.L.O.R.Y. Girl this year as fans of the site voted her to the #1 position on the G.L.O.R.Y. Hot 100 Chart five times in 2003.
* In the category of "G.L.O.R.Y. Comeback Of The Year", Charley Boy proved just how much heart she has as she recovered from a serious auto accident much faster than many had anticipated. She's not back in the ring competing yet...but we know it's just a matter of time before we see her ruthlessly battering opponents like her old self.
* Finally, 2003 found G.L.O.R.Y. Wrestling becoming a truly international site. First, we welcomed our very first G.L.O.R.Y. Girl from down under: Australia's Madison. We're looking forward to seeing her come to U.S. shores to wrestle sometime in the near future. We also reached into continental Europe for the first time a few weeks ago when we introduced you to Wesna
We also had quite a year here on the G.L.O.R.Y. Wrestling website. We tried some new stuff (some of it worked, some of it didn't...as usual). We lost some girls from the site,unfortunately, but we also picked-up quite a few exciting new ladies, too! We gained a LOT of new fans this year. It seemed like 2003 was the year that G.L.O.R.Y. made the transition from a site followed mainly by the die-hard fans of the girls to a site followed by pro and indy wrestling fans overall.
We formed some very nice alliances to help the G.L.O.R.Y. Girls get additional exposure (for example: Diva Talk interviews on NoDQ Wrestling radio and ClickWrestle.com streaming videos).
We also brought Louis "ChristmasBaby" Wright on board as G.L.O.R.Y.'s Link Of The Day Manager...a feature that has been very popular with fans. (Here's a little hint on something to look forward to: Louis will be joined very shortly by G.L.O.R.Y.'s new Women's Wrestling News "Ruler". We're committed to making G.L.O.R.Y. Wrestling the #1 destination for everything you need to know about the women of wrestling! More info on that soon. Shhhh...keep it to yourself.)
And finally, we wouldn't argue with anyone who wanted to dub 2003 as the "Year Of The Yahoo! Groups". Tons of groups popped-up for many of the girls. Fans opened groups with links to other groups. Groups were formed that featured a new G.L.O.R.Y. Girl everyday. There's even a popular Yahoo! Group that ranks the popularity of other groups relating to the G.L.O.R.Y. Girls!
What does it all mean? It means that the G.L.O.R.Y. Girls (and the women of the indies in general) have been getting more publicity this past year than at possibly any other time in the past couple of decades. And we hope that next year is even better!
