ODB is PO'ed!
That's what it seems like to us, anyway. Take a look at ODB's face as she snags a fistful of Talia's blonde locks and drags her off the mat and up to her feet during the last NWA-Cyberspace event in Wayne, New Jersey. ODB sure isn't going to shake Talia's hand, give her a hug or ask her to dance. That face tells us only one thing: More punishment for the blonde!

If any of those friends are near a computer, show them today's POD and explain that they are looking at G.L.O.R.Y. Girl Rain after her match at last month's Shimmer show. That bruise across the bridge of her nose sure doesn't look fake to me. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the lovely blonde's nose was actually broken in the ring. Still, even though pouting and hurting, Rain poses for a backstage picture.
Need more proof? Take a look here at Ms. Chif after her match at the Shimmer event. Although she's not on the G.L.O.R.Y. roster, this crazed wrestler actually appears to be enjoying the red welts and bruises she received to her upper chest after a brutal series of chops from her opponent!

Today's picture is a montage of some of the things and people that made 2005 an exciting one here in G.L.O.R.Y.-Land...
*** It almost looked like Ariel was going to sweep the year with her streak of G.L.O.R.Y. Girl awards. In a run that started in late-2004, Ariel grabbed the virtual G.L.O.R.Y. plaque from the start of the year...held it through the winter...ran the table in spring...kept her string alive over the hot summer months...and even collected a month into the autumn of 2005. But Ariel's string of 12 wins in a row was finally snapped by Lady Vendetta when she captured the October 2005 G.L.O.R.Y. Girl Award. Some have said that Ariel's consecutive win record will never be broken. We agree that it would be hard...very hard...for that streak to be eclipsed. But in G.L.O.R.Y.-Land, we've learned to NEVER say "never"!
*** Permanent tag-teams seemed to really catch on in 2005. While the ladies have often participated in tag matches, they usually seemed to float around from promotion to promotion joining with various allies along the way. This past year, some G.L.O.R.Y. Girls formed popular teams with their own identity, outfits, gimmicks and attitudes. Amber O'Neal and Krissy Vaine caught fans' attention with their Team Blondage union. Kayla Sparks and Miss DeVille continued to dazzle the Northeast as The Diva Killaz. Tough girls Cindy Rogers and not-so-innocent Alicia formed The Big Unit...showing no mercy for their opponents as they stretched or outright broke the rules every chance they got. Finally, glamour girls April Hunter and Talia steamed-up arenas with their fishnet and mini-skirt gear as T&A. (And how did they get that name? Oh yeah, from their initials. Riiiight...). Will the tag-team movement continue into 2006 with more G.L.O.R.Y. Girls forming permanent unions and jumping into the tag title pool? We wouldn't be surprised!
*** The Mexican ladies caught the attention of G.L.O.R.Y. fans last year, with two of the roughest and most talented joining us on the site. Masked Tsunami and tough-as-nails Chacala battled for LLF in Monterrey, Mexico...often standing across the ring from their American G.L.O.R.Y. Girl counterparts. In mid-2005, Tsunami and Ariel had a series of matches as the pair battled for the G.L.O.R.Y. Championship trophy. Their matches resembled street fights rather than wrestling contests...with blood, sweat, dirt, rain and weapons more often than not becoming factors in their all-out wars. Although Ariel held onto her G.L.O.R.Y. Championship, Tsunami pushed her to the limit in the first official G.L.O.R.Y. matches held in Mexico.
*** As the year came to a close, there was another big first for the site: our first Russian G.L.O.R.Y. Girl...Valeria! The fact that there was a pro wrestling scene in Russia came as a surprise to many US fans. We've known for many years that the Russian (and the former Soviet Union) athletes were talented amateur wrestlers from their strong showings in the Olympic Games. But in the last several years, indy pro wrestling has also taken hold in and around Moscow. Within that movement, Valeria finds herself as one of the few women involved in the sport. In becoming a G.L.O.R.Y. Girl, Valeria has probably done more than most on the Russian pro wrestling scene to bring attention to the fledging indy movement in the largest country on the planet.
Yes, 2005 was a memorable year at G.L.O.R.Y. Wrestling. Still, all good things must come to an end...and it's time to wrap up the good time called "2005". But the good news is that we're less than 24 hours away from 2006. There will be more news, surprises and fun on the G.L.O.R.Y. Wrestling scene over the next twelve months...and we hope that you'll all visit often and be a part of it!
