Brian Reese, wrestling photographer extraordinaire and host of the Indy Divas Yahoo Group has just posted the results of the 2009 Indy Diva Awards, the only such awards based on fan voting!

This year, the big winner was clearly Ms. Kacee Carlisle. She was voted Wrestler of the Year for the second year in a row; she was also voted Heel of the Year (by a LOT!); and finally, she took the top prize, 2009 Indy Diva of the Year! Though a heel, Ms. Carlisle has certainly caught the attention of the fans. Congratulations to her on this recognition!

PWE wrestling returned to beautiful downtown York, PA last Saturday. Cindy Rogers made her PWE return to challenge current PWE Women’s Champion Fate for the title. These two have faced off many times for the PWE gold. The match was back and forth all the way, with each woman showing off her strengths: Cindy Rogers, the “Definition of Technician” tying her opponent up in knots; Fate keeping Cindy off balance with powerful strikes and elbows. Finally, a superkick from Fate sent Cindy reeling out of the ring. Ms. Rogers then found Fate’s trademark gold chain and brought it into the ring. PWE Senior Referee Dice warned Cindy not to bring the foreign object in, but Ms. Rogers persisted. The referee then wisely disqualified Cindy for ignoring his instructions. But while Cindy argued with Dice about this ruling, Fate recovered her chain and walloped Ms. Rogers across the chin. The fans were thrilled to see Ms. Rogers receive her comeuppance from Fate! Welcome back to PWE Cindy Rogers. And just remember that PWE has ZERO TOLERANCE for the kind of underhanded tactics you tried to bring into the ring. Clean up your act young lady! And kudos to Fate for continuing her reign as PWE women’s champion!

ODB! The woman who once proclaimed herself the world’s biggest jobber … now at the top of her game as two time TNA Knockout Champion! She’s now also ClickWrestler of the Week, so just click the pic above to see some of this wrestling superstar’s matches from her career in the indies.

And for those of us who have been following this wrestling vixen’s rise, what a seamless transition it has been. For although her name has changed, the smoldering good looks, the bad attitude, the vicious ring style – those are exactly the same!   Ms. Madison is now ClickWrestler of the Week, so just click the pic above of Talia brutalizing another hapless opponent and see the many matches Clickwrestle.com has to offer of this wrestling superstar before The Beautiful People!
