RESPECT Magazine - Issue #4

‘The Queen of Wrestling’ takes the front cover of Issue #4 of RESPECT magazine as we talks about wrestling, wrestling and just a little bit more wrestling. Sara Del Rey, who was the first woman to hold the SHIMMER Championship, talks about breaking into the business and growing as a performer both as a wrestler and character.

We also talk to her about first tour of Japan back in 2005 and the lifestyle changes she endured whilst living and working there. When discussion moves toward SHIMMER, Sara tells us what it’s like working for the all-women’s wrestling company and goes to talk about some of her most favourite wrestlers to lock up with.

We head to Pro Wrestling: EVE to talk with ‘Fightin Irish’ herself, Rhia O’Reilly. The wrestling rookie, who exploded onto fans’ radars earlier this year talks about her training regimen. O’Reilly discusses the women’s wrestling in Europe and offers her insights into the future of companies like Pro Wrestling: EVE.

Former WWE Divas Champion Jillian Hall, if only for three minutes, recently hit headlines when she was released from World Wrestling Entertainment. We take a look at what Jillian Hall could have offered to the ladies of Florida Championship Wrestling as well as what she still had to achieve inside the ring herself.

SHIMMER Women’s Athletes celebrated its 5 Year Anniversary. Eboni Fields takes a look at the promotion that made her rediscover her passion for women’s wrestling by profiling some of the company’s most historic matches, moments and rivalries. Who could forget the anger-fuelled battles involving Cheerleader Melissa and MsChif? What about the crowning of the company’s very first Champion? We can’t.

With WWE’s nationalised developmental territory NXT coming to an end we assess the success of Season 3. We also talk briefly to the contestant you would’ve missed but couldn’t miss, Isis The Amazon. We also review WSU’s first ever iPPV with a ‘Roundtable Discussion’ and take a look at the new Pro Wrestling: EVE DVD.
