Booking Mae Young Classic 3

Competitors:

🇯🇵 Command Bolshoi

(If the Mae Young Classic can get Meiko Satomura then we can have another Joshi legend in Command Bolshoi. The 27-year veteran is has had almost 1000 matches in her career and is a 6-time JWP Tag Team Championas well as a 4-time Daily Sport Tag Team Champion,a former ICExInfinity Champion, Reina-CMLL International Championand 2-time JWP Openweight Champion.  Bolshoi has also wrestled for some of the biggest companies in the world including New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW), Consejo Mundial De Lucha Libre (CMLL),  AAA Worldwide, Japanese Women Pro-Wrestling Project (JWP), All Japan Women’s Pro Wrestling (AJW), and Frontier Martial-arts Wrestling (FMW) as well as almost every major Joshi company in the last 20 years.)

🇬🇧 Piper Niven

(The 27-year-old Scottish native was a competitor in the first ever Mae Young Classic as Piper Niven.  She is one of the best independent wrestlers in the world and has been a champion almost everywhere she went.  A 2x ICW Women’s Champion, Fierce Females Championfor over three years, former Artist Of Stardom champion and has won many smaller titles all over Scotland.  Her spot in the NXT UK women’s division ensures she will become a big star in the UK.)

🇬🇧 Kay Lee Ray

(Another former Mae Young Classic Competitor and a legendary figure in Insane Championship Wrestling (ICW) as one of the pivotal figures of their rise to fame.  She is another elite in-ring wrestler who has had classic matches in ICW and tore the house down against Meiko Satomura at Wrestle Queendom, the biggest all women’s show in European wrestling history.  She will go down in history as the first ever WOS Women’s champion, is a former 2x ICW women’s champion and is a former Defiant Women’s Champion.)

🇲🇽 Marcela

(A 33-year wrestling veteran Marcela would join Bolshoi as one of the biggest and veterans in the tournament.  Has wrestled over 1000 matches and spent her entire career with Lucha giants CMLL.  Also wrestled for other promotions like JWP, AJWP, and Big Japan Wrestling as well as various appearances at Mexican indies.  She is notably a 4x CMLL World Women’s Champion and is undefeated in Luchas de Apuestas matches.)

🇲🇽 Keyra

(At just 24 years old, Keyra is one of the biggest prospects in Mexican wrestling.  Debuting in 2009, she has already wrestled hundreds of matches and is already a seasoned in-ring competitor at just 24.  Mainly wrestles all over the Mexican independent scene including companies like The Crash and Lucha Libre Elite, as well as competing for AAA occasionally.  Former The Crash Femenil Champion and current AULL Women’s Champion for over a year.)

🇯🇵 Mayu Iwatani

(The MYC got former ace Io Shirai, and Kairi Sane so we will get current ace Mayu Iwatani.  At 25, she has spent her entire career with Stardom, making very rare appearances in other Joshi companies.  Already has a very long list of title reigns being a former World Of Stardomchampion, 2x Goddesses Of Stardom champion,  3x Artist Of Stardom and former High Speed Champion for over 500 days. The highly decorated ace will only add to her list of accolades as her career goes on.)

🇨🇦 Chelsea Green

(Siging with WWE a few months ago. Had the best run of her career as Laurel Van Ness in IMPACT Wrestling where her character work really shone through. A student of Lance Storm, a former contest with WWE Tough Enough, Chelsea Green is one of the biggest stars in the indie scene, and fought at All In.)

🇺🇸 Jordynne Grace

(The 22-year-oldd debuted in 2012 and is already one of the best women’s wrestlers in the North American independent scene.  The “Last Pure Athlete” is a powerhouse in the ring. She has also been to Europe where she has had classic matches with the likes of Viper, Livvii Grace and DASH Chisako, which is a free match offered by Over The Top Wrestling.)

🇺🇸 Mercedes Martinez

(The only woman to compete in all 3 Mae Young Classics including mine. SHINE Tag Team Champion (w\Ivellisse) and 2-times SHINE champion, Mercedez Martinez looks to top last year performance in the quarterfinals and win this year’s WWE Mae Young Classic. Martinez is a 18 -year veteran that has participated in every indie promotion in North America. The daughter of Puerto Ricans has been on a lot of radars, but never has on a stellar scene in a mayor wrestling promotion. She looks to change all that in this year’s edition.)

🇩🇪 Melanie Gray

(Before there was Killer Kelly in Westside Xtreme Wrestling (wXw), there was Melanie Gray.  A veteran of the German wrestling scene and for a long time one of the only German women featured on a big stage.  Has charisma and character as well as solid in-ring work.)

🇨🇦 LuFisto

(Debuting in 1997, LuFisto has been an ever present in the North American indie scene for two decades.  She is tough as nails beating cancer in 2018, and has featured in some crazy death matches.  A regular performer for SHIMMER, Shine, Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW) and Beyond Wrestling, she has popped up in AAA and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG) as well.  She is the current JAPW Women’s Champion, former Shine Champion and has captured numerous other independent titles over the years.)

🇦🇺 Madison Eagles

(Debuting in 2001, Madison Eagles is an Australian veteran who stands at 6’1″, making her a bit of a tough task for other performers to overcome.  Despite her size, she does not wrestle like a typical “big woman”.  Eagles is a great pure wrestler who is one of the better technical wrestlers in the women’s scene.  Her 539-day SHIMMER title reign in 2010/2011 is considered the best in the promotion’s history, as she defended the title against a who’s who of women’s wrestling names.)

🇦🇺 Shazza McKenzie

(Another product of Australia, McKenzie is a 10-year veteran who went from just a comedy act to a competent wrestler.  A former 2x PWA Women’s Champion and is a former Heart of SHIMMER champion, McKenzie is a mainstay in the Australian scene and regularly features for SHIMMER and RISE Wrestling.)

🇺🇸 Shotzi Blackheart

(After only four years in the squared circle, Shotzi Blackheart has been a permanent fixture in RISEand SHIMMER at just 26 years old. Her name is inspired by Joan Jett And The Blackhearts, Shotzi’s look and personality is also inspired by her love of horror films, separating her from the pack. “The Ballsy Badass” is a former Heart Of SHIMMER champion and Pheonix Of RISE champion.)

🇵🇷 Ivelisse Vélez

(Ivelisse is a woman with unmatched charisma.  She is a real badass who looks and plays the part, often going to war with men as well as women she is no stranger to a fight.  Ivelisse is probably most known for her run on Lucha Underground as a former 2x Trios Champion along with Son Of Havoc and Angelico.  The underdog trio were a huge part of the early run of the show with Ivelisse standing out as the coolest member.  She is also a former 2x Shine Champion and Shine Tag Team Champion.)

🇧🇷 Aja Perera

(An upcoming Brazilian star who has shown great potential.  A performer for Shine, Queens Of Combat (QOC), Lucha Libre Femenil and RISE, she has yet to capture major gold yet but is a name to watch out for)

🇺🇸 Aspyn Rose

(Another prospect from the US indie scene.  Rose can mostly be found on Carolina Wrestling Federation (CWF) Mid-Atlantic and has wrestled for NOVA, SHINE, QOC and ACW.  She wrestles in most Florida indies and at 23 has all the potential in the world.)

🇲🇽 Felina Metalica

(Another Luchadora and a younger one than Marcela,  Metalica was trained by Justiciero, Negro Navarro, Robin Maravilla, Rocky Santana, Sadico, and Terrorista.  The 9-year veteran is a regular for CMLL and has competed around the Mexican indies including Desastre Total Ultraviolento (DTU), a Lucha Extrema company.)

🇲🇽 Sanely

(Another Luchadora and another CMLL regular.  Sanely is one of the best luchadoras on the CMLL roster despite only debuting in 2015.  Trained by awesome wrestlers like Black Warrior, Shocker and Ultimo Guerrero, you can be sure Sanely is extremely talented.)

🇺🇸 Victoria

(The Mae Young Classic has featured one comeback each time.  If there is one former WWE Superstar that would be welcome in a MYC it is Victoria.  The 47-year-old was always a step above most women on the roster when she was one of the only experienced wrestlers left.  She will always be remembered for her crazy characters which she played so well.  A 2x WWE Women’s champion who went on to have an amazing run in IMPACT.  As Tara, she became a 5x Knockouts Champion, main evented IMPACT in a cage match against Mickie James and was a cornerstone of the Knockouts division at its peak.)

🇯🇵 Meiko Satomura

(You cannot have a women’s tournament without considering one of the best women’s wrestlers in the world. Meiko Satomura, regardless of gender, is one of the world’s best, seeing her live she has such a special aura and comes across so well. When the bell rings she really shines, her unique array of knees and kicks are vicious and her technical abilities are second to none. Dream match after dream match could await in this tournament and many people’s eyes would be opened to what women’s wrestling can truly be just like last year when she was in the tournament.)

🇨🇦 Taya Valkyrie

("Lucha Royalty” Taya Valkyrie is one of the best heels in Lucha Libre.  Trained by legendary grappler Lance Storm, she is solid in the ring, but it is her character work that wins you over.  Whether it’s in AAA or Lucha Underground she adds so much to partner Johnny Mundo‘s act.  The former 2x AAA Reina de Reinas champion was one of the most featured women in both AAA and LU and is starting to make waves with IMPACT Wrestling.)

🇬🇧 Sammi Jayne

(The main event empress is on the comeback trail from a horrific injury suffered against Viper.  She has wrestled all over Scotland for promotions such as ICW, DiscoverY Wrestling, Fierce Femalesand early in her career started out in Scottish Wrestling Entertainment.  Branching out to Pro Wrestling EVE in 2017, she set off on a near year-long reign as champion.   Her heel run culminated in her main eventing the biggest Women’s wrestling show in European history at WrestleQueendom.  Her success in EVE has bee emulated around the UK as she is now the former holder of 5 titles.  The former RCW, OTT, DW, MEW and 3CW women’s champion will be a big star in the UK scene soon enough.)

🇬🇧 Tegan Nox

(Born Steffanie Newell out of Wales, this 24 year old was a mainstay in the British Indies as a whole. A former ATTACK! Pro Wrestling 24/7 Champion and ATTACK! Tag Team Champion alongside WWE UK standout Mark Andrews as a part of the tag team Bayside High. On top of that, Newell was the inaugural WCPW (now Defiant) Women’s Champion. Signed to World Wrestling Entertainment in April of 2017, Newell was originally part of the inaugural tournament, however an injury of the ACL would keep her away from action until her return to a house show on the 13th of April 2018. Newell would then go onto be a part of Mae Young Classic 2 and make it to the quarterfinals before her knee exploded in the middle of the match automatically eliminating her. Recently, Nox has been getting closer and closer to a return. Mae Young Classic 3 may just be her time.)

🇺🇸 Harlow O'Hara

("The Priestess” Harlow O’Hara uses her real-life experience as a Hairdresser and Makeup Artist to make her character come to fruition.  Also known as “The Deliverer of the Dark Rites”, O’Hara has a gothic character that makes her a unique addition to any tournament.

🇺🇸 Allysin Kay

(Allysin Kay who is best known for her time in Impact Wrestling under the ring name Sienna. She is a two-time Impact Wrestling Knockouts Champion. She wrestles on the independent circuit in the United States and Canada, most notably for Absolute Intense Wrestling (AIW), Women Superstars Uncensored (WSU), Shimmer Women Athletes and Shine Wrestling. She is a former one-time AIW Women's Champion, and a former WSU Tag Team Champion with partner Sassy Stephie.)

🇩🇪 Jazzy Gabbert

(One of the standouts from last year’s MYC, Germany’s “Alpha Female” was on the verge of signing a contract with the WWE when an injury was discovered that nixed the deal. She’s just recently returned to action after getting surgery to correct the issue and she would be a welcome return, as she was arguably the most over competitor two years ago.)

🇺🇸 Jessicka Havok

(Havok is one of the coolest women on the indies. Her whole aesthetic screams IDGAF and she looks like she would legitimately kill you if she had the chance.  “The Havok Death Machine” was a big star in WSU, winning every title in the company at least once.  She also has a run as TNA Knockouts Champion back in 2014, before a series of matches with the returning Awesome Kong saw her put the legend over before she left.  Since then she has been on WWE’s radar and become one of the main women’s’ wrestlers booked for higher level indies like DEFY and AAW as well as the main women’s promotions like Shine, SHIMMER, and RISE.)

🇦🇺 Kellyanne

(Kellyanne has been training since she was 15.  She was trained by the best in Australia, including the likes of Tenille Dashwood.  She also went to Canada to train at the Lance Storm Academy before heading to Mexico to train with Gran Apache.  Kellyanne has shown tonnes of initiative in training in many styles, she was also offered an AAA developmental deal and is on the WWE radar.  A breakout is all she needs to become a big indie name.)

🇬🇧 Zoe Lucas

(Lucas has quickly burst onto the scene. With NXT UK snapping up women’s talents, Lucas will get a chance to shine in the UK if she chooses to settle here.  Lucas was part of the RevPro women’s division before it even had a title, and she has also wrestled for PROGRESS, EVE, IPW:UK and 5 StarWrestling.  Lucas has not just wrestled in the UK, she has been touring Stardom since 2017 and has had a few matches in SHIMMER.  Zoe Lucas is a great talent who tours the world improving her already good in-ring work and she will definitely be a future champion in either RevPro or PROGRESS.)

🇮🇪 Katey Harvey

(The Queen of Irish wrestling Katey Harvey.  She was a women’s wrestler in Ireland before women’s wrestling really existed.  With the Irish wrestling boom, she has been able to see the growth of women’s wrestling and has spearheaded at least 3 women’s divisions in Ireland.  Harvey has also had her talents recognized outside of Europe.  She is the current GWF Women’s Champion and frequently wrestles for Flemish Wrestling Force in Belgium.  Harvey has wrestled all over Ireland for every company in the country be it Celtic Championship Wrestling, Pro Wrestling Ulster (where she is a 2-Time women’s champion), Fight Factory Pro Wrestling and of course OTT where her feud with Session Moth Martina over the OTT Women’s championship made the two Irish wrestling legends.)

🇬🇧 Jetta

(“Coventry’s Loudest” and a self-proclaimed “British Legend”, Jetta has been part of the UK wrestling scene since 2002.  Her 16 years of experience have made her razor sharp on a  microphone and one of the most polished workers in the UK.  She is a former 2x Bellatrix (WAW) British Champion, former IPW:UK Women’s Champion and former Celtic Crown Women’s Champion.  Over the last few years, Jetta has mainly plied her trade in EVE and has yet to appear for any of the major companies.  Despite this Jetta is more than deserving of a spot due to her years of experience and fantastic heel work.)

By the way the dates I put next to the episodes are the actual date they are taped as the last two Mae Young Classics produced most of it's best matches in the first and second rounds because the competitors were fresh. Overworking the competitors is probably the Mae Young Classic's biggest flaw.
