To anyone who follows my wrestling photography, Brittany Force will be a familiar face, as over the last couple years, she has blossomed as a wrestler, going from working mainly in western Pennsylvania to being in demand all over the East Coast and Midwest, including Ohio and Tennessee. Ms. Force recently made her debut with WSU, one of the leading women’s promotions in the United States. It’s great to see that her hard work is being acknowledged, as Pro Wrestling Illustrated placed her 47th in their annual list of the top 50 stars in women’s wrestling, covered in PWI’s current issue, on newstands now.

But while that is an accomplishment in itself, PWI also acknowledged Ms. Force in a special article by PWI Editor Frank Krewda which describes how Brittany has worked her way up from a devastating automobile accident just a few years ago. It’s an inspiring story of determination and courage, one I thought deserved special mention here. Click the pic if you’d like to order PWI; there are two of my photos of Brittany in the issue, but that is absolutely NOT why I am promoting it!

Congratulations to Brittany Force and hoping 2011 is a fantastic year for your wrestling career (and everything else, too!)
