W.E.W. WOMEN'S EXTREME WRESTLING TV PILOT TAPING

This studio edit is from deep in our archives, and is THE full live show edit of the hard camera only of the debut pilot taping for WEW Women’s Extreme Wrestling. There is nothing that could be done to remove the lower banner “Women’s Extreme Wrestling Pilot Taping”, except to maybe stretch the picture, which would effect the look of the video overall, but then heads and legs would be cut off the screen at times. We have kept this video pretty much intact, with minimal, to no editing to showcase the authenticity and feel of the video.

Please note that this video has never been released AS IS, a direct cut of the entire live event. Edited matches were used on Pay Per View, and even GLOOW TV, but never in this full form.

The video starts prior to the show, as the crowd pans the room and catches the excited fans at ringside. This is their (people in the South) first time they get to experience the girls of GLOOW / DWOW down south. This should be fun. The camera guys are getting set with various shots of the audience, as they are amped up and ready to go. There was a jump cut to more audience shots, as the start of the show nears. This goes (audience shots) on for the next few minutes, so if you’d like to jump to the actual start of the event, head to the 7:48 minute mark.

We see some of the GLOOW staff making their way to ringside to set up the bell, and chairs for announcer / time keeper. It’s crazy to think that the Boathouse, a wooden building, is going to allow for a flaming tables match, to what we know of today.

Right around the 7:48 mark, the show officially starts, as music hits, the fog and lights start going, and the crowd comes alive. At the 8:45 mark, boos start to rain down around the Boathouse as ring announcer JEFFREY J. JAMES makes his way to center ring. He asks the fans a few questions, which they replied wildly to. He then informs the fans that this is a national television taping debut for Women’s Extreme Wrestling.

JEFFREY J. JAMES (GLOOW'S TV Announcer) introduces the referee DINA MARIE from Los Angeles, California. DINA is a fitness model, and has appeared in magazines. This black haired beauty has an incredible body, and the fans, of course lover her!

Do you smell what the Rock is cooking? The fans groan at first, but as THE SMOKE appears you can hear some laughter and chuckles in the crowd. THE SMOKE looks like he is on his game and is ready for a big night. The laughter quickly turned into the fans booing at him. Another portion of the fans break out into a “Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!” chant. THE SMOKE rips off a few lines from THE ROCK, and the crowd is loving it / or hating it. They then start a very loud “Asshole” chant for him.

Here come THE MAE GIRLS! JEANIE MAE is introduced, as ELLE MAE leads the way to the ring. Inside the ring, the girls corner the ring announcer, and ELLE MAE is having her way him, abusing his head and neck.

WILDFIRE (aka ECW’s PRODIGETTE) aka ANGEL ORSINI (aka THE FULL BREASTED ITALIAN) climbs to the top of the turnbuckle and spits fire. AGAIN, crazy to think she is spitting fire into the air (high) and the place is made of wood. SMH. As WILDFIRE makes her way into the ring, ELLE MAE spits water at her, and she gets enraged.

THERE IS NO COMMENTARY ON THIS VIDEO. This is a pre-production edit we guess.

We will NOT be providing move-by-move, or play-by-play of the matches here. Download the entire show and watch for yourself. This is a very entertaining full live event.

Prior to the match getting started, the fans break out the tried and true, “we want tits” chants. DINA MARE, the referee, checks both competitors for illegal objects. ELLE MAE is now ringside.

MATCH: JEANIE MAE w/ELLE MAE vs WILDFIRE w/DINA MARIE as referee.

Some highlights... Both wrestlers are pros, and work the independent scene at this point of their career. THE SMOKE whacks JEANIE MAE with a steel chair shot. WILDFIRE goes for a power bomb, and collapsed getting JEANIE up.

WILDFIRE calls for the mic, and issues a challenge for a hardcore flaming tables match tonight, as JAZZ her scheduled opponent is not in the building.

Two men from the back with a ladder are in the ring, as it looks like they are installing something into the rafters here at the Boathouse. As one of the guys climb the ladder, a woman’s pleasuring apparatus is exposed to which the fans react to loudly.

The ring announcer states, it’s now time for the "Stairway to Ecstasy" match, as he points at the object hanging above the ring. He announces the rules as the first contestant to retrieve the object, wins the match.

As the referee is being announced, TAI WEED starts to make her entrance… right before someone told her that she wasn’t out yet, and that the music was for the ref SHEENA. That’s 36DD SHEENA who oil wrestled GI HO at Tuxedo Junction that one time.

TAI WEED makes her ring entrance around the ring, and the fans are loving from TAI! She’s wearing “almost’ her traditional ring gear, with black leather chaps, top, and red shorts underneath (not black thong)? TAI performs some in ring dance to the fans approval.

PUSSY WILLOW is announced next, as 2 Live Crew blares from the sound system. The short, very busty blonde is brandishing a Singapore cane as she enters the ring and blast TAI in the back. TAI falls to the mat, and PUSSY WILLOW is canning the poor girl repeatedly.

MATCH: “Stairway to Ecstasy” TAI WEED vs PUSSY WILLOW w/SHEENA as referee.

Some highlights... This match started out crazy, and got even crazier as the girls spent a good amount of time fighting in the audience. Back in the ring, TAI grabs the steel stop sign to be used in their match, and eventually PUSSY WILLOW brings in and sets up the ladder for someone to ascend to the ceiling to grab the prize, if you will. The fans break out in a chant of “grab that dick” chants.

While we are waiting for the ring to be cleared of some of the last items used in that match, SHEENA nonchalantly flashes the crowd her chest, to which she found an overwhelming positive response. She also does it again before start of the next segment as well. Not the best angle to see it all thought :(

JEFFREY J. JAMES announces TARA (aka DARLENE) next to a mixed response. She gets on the mic and voices her displeasure for the fans and her opponent.

CANDIE is announced next, as the fans love her! She is wearing her traditional black sports bra and purple sequined pants.

SHEENA checks both girls for illegal objects, the fans love this of course.

MATCH: TARA (aka DARLENE) vs CANDIE w/SHEENA as referee

DINA MARIE makes her way back to the ring. A now fan favorite!

ELLE MAE w/JEANIE MAE is introduced, and the fans here don’t seem to like ELLE too much.

G.I. HO is announced to thunderous applause and cheering. GI HO is high-fiving, and hugging the fans at ringside.

In the ring, ELLE MAE is ready for action as the two enemies get into verbal exchange that see ELLE MAE throwing her water at GI HO, as the two start to shove each other, before being separated. GI HO is looking incredibly hot in her traditional ring attire. DINA MARIE pats down GI HO, and the crowd eats this up. Then GI HO reverses it, and puts DINA in the corner and start to feel her up —we mean check for objects. DINA MARIE, then goes to check ELLE MAE. ELLE tries to get sexy, but DINA finds food stuffed in her pockets!? DINA MARIE then strips out of her booty shorts, and will ref the match in a thong and ref shirt —to GI HO’s liking… to everyones liking!

MATCH: ELLE MAE w/JEANIE MAE vs GI HO w/DINA MARIE as the referee.

Highlights... GI HO did hit two top rope jumps, one in ring, and one to the outside. We also see ELLE MAE deliver a STINKFACE in this segment as well.

Intermission is announced.

This video is the master from the hard camera. We see a test tone for production, with color bars, then back to the main ring shot, as we see the production staff make their way out to ringside set to start the next part of the event. Lights dim, smoke, and music start, and the second half of the event is now underway.

JEFFREY J. JAMES makes his way to the ring, and receives “you suck d*&k” chants —which JEFF doesn’t take kindly to and steps back into the corner until it stops. He then introduces SHEENA as the ref for the first match, BUT ELLE MAE and JEANIE MAE come to the ring instead.

In the ring ELLE MAE is trying to talk but the fans are chanting “fat bitch, fat bitch…”. SHEENA has now appeared at the top of the stage ramp, and she has done a costume change. Both girls (ELLE & JEANIE) try to say something on the mic, but it’s hard to hear, and the fans didn’t make it easy for them .

Lights black out, and Enter Sandman starts to blare out of the speakers. Looks like SANDMAN from ECW type of entrance, but as the lights come back on we see professional midget wrester, and former WWE & Wrestlemania star SANDBOY aka LITTLE LOUIE dressed in his jeans, blue shirt, and suspenders, but also smoking a cigarette, a Singapore cane, and a beer. LOUIE spits beer like a fountain, instead of spraying the crowd like that former ECW champion. The fans are loving LITTLE LOUIE’s entrance!

LITTLE LOUIE retrieves a ladder from the back, and posts it up at ringside. He ascends the steps to almost the top, where he drinks and then spits beer onto the fans, then smashes the plastic cup on his head. Funny stuff. LOUIE, like the SANDMAN, uses all 8 minutes of the song to get to and in the ring.

Once in the ring, LITTLE LOUIE hits ELLE MAE in the ass hard with the cane, and then when chased by her, he runs to the boobs of SHEENA by stuffing his head in between them. The crowd is eating LOUIE up!

MATCH: Intergender Handicap Match JEANIE MAE w/ELLE MAE vs SANDBOY aka LITTLE LOUIE w/SHEENA as the referee.

It's announced the next contest is a SPECIAL EVENING GOWN MATCH, where the loser is the one stripped down to her bra and panties. Originally, this match stipulation was going to be the loser is stripped totally nude —but WEW caused to be the focus of the local community because of this, causing an uproar with the venue, thus WEW management changing match down to a Bra & Panties Evening Gown Match. Oh and the two participants for this match are adult film stars; KITTEN and REBECCA WILD. Honestly, it doesn’t matter who wins or loses, as long as we get a decent catfight, and someone’s dress is ripped off!

KITTEN is out first and she is a light skinned black girl with a full chest. She is wearing a leopard print evening gown, with a net see-through top, thong, and heels. She keeps sticking her extremely, long tongue out. The crowd absolutely loves her!

REBECCA WILD appears at the entranceway, and removes her heels before coming down the ramp. This sexy, and very spunky blonde heads around the ring saying hello to all her fans.

Before action starts, THE ROCK’s theme song plays, the booing from the fans rain down as they know THE SMOKE is coming out. THE SMOKE makes himself apart of this contest, as KITTEN gets all cozy with THE SMOKE, and REBECCA WILD gets jealous.

Next up is the advertised meeting between KITTEN vs REBECCA WILD in a “Evening Gown/Bra & Panties match”.

MICHAEL FLAYMER, a member of the WEW staff, and also is in the alternative lifestyle comes to ring and tells the world that the SMOKE may have been with the girls last night, but he woke up with him that morning. The place loses it.

Both girls ambush SMOKE as each has their hands grabbing his junk, as he tumbles to the mat, KITTEN jumps on top of him and starts roughing him up, while REBECCA is at ringside throwing in some weapons like a trash can lid, a crutch, and more. These girls just start dishing out all kinds of punishment to THE SMOKE. See video for all the action.

JEFFREY J. JAMES is back in the ring and runs down the stipulations for the main event “Flaming Tables Match”.

PLAYBOY COLLEGE CO-ED HEATHER FAITH is introduced and the crowd is alive loving what they see. It seems HEATHER FAITH is out to answer WILDFIRE’s challenge for the Flaming Tables match.

Music hits immediately after HEATHER FAITH called out WILDFIRE. WF comes to the ring hot, and fast. She is furious that this is her challenger, and has no problem voicing it.

MATCH: PLAYBOY COLLEGE CO-ED HEATHER FAITH vs WILDFIRE w/DINA MARIE as referee.

During this “match” WILDFIRE is just tossing FAITH around by her hair. After a few minutes, music hits and JAZZ (ECW / WWE) hits the ring, and goes right to town on WILDFIRE.

MATCH: “Flaming Tables Match” WILDFIRE vs JAZZ with DINA MARIE as referee.

There is a lot of great women’s wrestling action during this match up with these two professionals. They have battled for years, and now they are pulling out all the stops. In the ring, out of the ring, on the front row ticket holders laps, in the crowd —it doesn’t matter where these two will stop at nothing as one of these women will be going through a TABLE ON FIRE!!!

Things don't go as planned it seems, as STEVE "THE SOUNDGUY" hits the ring, and someone is going through that f'n table...
