Fan Favorite Nikita/Katie Lea

G.L.O.R.Y. Girl Nikita--a.k.a. Katie Lea to OVW fans--comes out of the locker room where she's greeted by a swarm of young, enthusiastic fans. The gorgeous brunette was heading to the ring for an arm wrestling showdown against OVW rival Melina Rouka. Pretty easy to see who the crowd was rooting for in this one, huh?

While wrestling has it's different genres such as hardcore and more adult-oriented shows, it's nice to see events where the kids get to participate and meet their ring heros. It's youngsters like these who will be the fans of tomorrow. Having the chance to high-five a wrestler on her way to the ring, get an autograph during intermission or watch the action from ringside means that they are much more likely to be supportive fans as they get older. And who knows? Maybe one of these young fans will be so influenced by this meeting that they'll decide to pursue their own dream of becoming a future wrestling star!
