January 31, 2004 Update

Neo Spirit Pro Wrestling (Niagara Falls, New York)
November 29, 2003: Angel vs. Phoenix

Phoenix makes her entrance.  Phoenix waits for her opponent.  Looks like Angel is anxious to get into it with Phoenix.  Phoenix's hard shoulder block knocks the wind out of Angel.  

The Firebird slumps in the corner after taking a tough chop.  Angel gets vicious and works Phoenix along the ropes.  Phoenix complains that she's being choked...but it looks like a legal chinlock to us!  Phoenix prepares a stinging smash for Angel's chest.  

Phoenix just gets the shoulder up.  Nice snap suplex by Fabulous Firebird Phoenix!  Phoenix is staggered by a hard right cross.  Angel applies a tight dragon sleeper.  

Phoenix retaliates with a gut-busting drop across the knee.  The hair flies on both ladies after this vicious chop.  Angel suffers after being tossed out to the arena floor.  Angel really works the side headlock.  

Angel leans back into the pin.  Hey...outside interference! OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE!!!  Angel takes advantage of the situation and stomps away at the downed Firebird.

Introducing Chris Hoddinott...
Various Canadian action with Phoenix, Macaela Mercedes, Angel Williams and more.

Phoenix and Macaela Mercedes lock-up to start this January 2003 match.  Phoenix works on Macaela with a choke.  Macaela uses a handful of hair to send Phoenix's head into the ringpost.  Phoenix hurts Macaela along the ropes.  

Macaela is hurting...Phoenix takes the opportunity to show-off. Typical of The Firebird...  Classic and brutal ab stretch on Macaela!  Phoenix has Macaela in trouble as she tries to lock in a sleeper.  Shoulder block!  

Macaela Mercedes suffers in a Phoenix Boston Crab.  Phoenix takes a moment to compose herself outside the ring.  Macaela Mercedes celebates after becoming the new G.L.O.R.Y. Champion.  During their first match, Macaela has the advantage over Phoenix as she prepares to yank her opponent off the mat by her hair.  

A powerbomb and a near pin for Macaela.  Macaela suffers in a Phoenix chokehold.  Chris has the perfect angle to catch Phoenix's feet on the ropes as she gets the pinfall on Macaela.  No one is going to pry the G.L.O.R.Y. Championship Trophy away from Phoenix if she can help it!  

Macaela stands in the ring in disbelief after getting screwed out of a victory!  Phoenix viciously pounds away at Kiki Malaya...just a few feet away from some fans who are stunned by her actions.  Phoenix misses the shoulder tackle, and Kiki is about to roll her down to the mat.  Night-night Kiki!  

At AWF's Trick OR Treat show, Phoenix chats with Batman.  Kiki suffers in a nasty backbreaker.  Kiki lands a perfect, high-flying dropkick!  A Kiki clothesline has Phoenix heading for the mat again.  

Phoenix shows off the copy of PWI in which she and the other stars of AWF are featured.  Even when she is not involved in a match, Phoenix finds a way to make her presence felt.  Phoenix with her little borther Arizona.  Monkey Flip time...  

Phoenix recoils after a hard Kiki chop.  Phoenix and her partner double-team an opponent from the ring apron  That blur you see flying off the top rope is Angel Williams...  ...and she's about to bring her male opponent down to the mat with a flying head scissors.  

This time Angel gets caught off guard, and she's going to pay the price as she is about to get hit with a power bomb.  Sexy Angel Williams never passes up an opportunity to show-off her sexy, well-exercised abs.  



Chris Hoddinott's Bio

Chris Hoddinott

I first started watching wrestling when I was about ten years old. I grew up watching "Saturday Night's Main Event" and Maple Leaf Wrestling on Sundays.

I've been involved in indy wrestling since October 2000 and I currently am working with the Toronto-based Apocalypse Wrestling Federation. When I started I was doing ring set-up and tear-down, as well as event security. My role in the company has evolved and my responsibilities have been expanded to add photography to the mix of things. I have been taking photos for about a year and a half.

I have had the pleasure of taking pictures of a few of the G.L.O.R.Y. girls in action: Phoenix, Macaela Mercedes, Violet Flame, Tracy Brooks and Felina. I hope to have the opportunity to photograph more of the lovely and talented G.L.O.R.Y. Girls in the near future.

For my 35mm pictures, I use a Minolta Dynax 500si camera. I also take digital photographs using a Minolta DiMage 7Hi camera.

Some of my work can be seen on the AWF Web site, under the photos section. I also have some of my pictures on various AWF wrestlers' Web sites, as well as having had some of my pictures in various wrestling magazines.
