Pro Womens' Wrestling Benefit

Female wrestlers will take over the limelight at the next pro wrestling benefit show scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on Sat., Jan. 21, at the Long Hill Township Community Center, 264 S. Warren Ave. off Valley Road in the Stirling section of the township.

The Knights Of Columbus of Basking Ridge and Bernardsville, The Long Hill P.B.A., and The Bernards Township Regional Chamber Of Commerce will host the show as a fundraiser for those organizations. The show will feature the northeast promotion National Wrestling Superstars and leading all-ladies promotion Women Superstars, according to an announcement from the Bernards Township chamber.

This first show of 2012 for both promotions is being called "Blitzkrieg," and will abound with male and female wrestling stars, said Al LiCata, executive director of the Bernards regional chamber.

Headlining this gala event will be a battle between a pair of TV women wrestling superstars who have never met in the ring before this night, TNA/Impact Wrestling star Traci Brooks and former WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) singing diva Jillian Hall, LiCata said.

"And if that wasn't big enough right there, referee'ing this first-ever encounter will be former WWE Women's Champion Molly Holly," LiCata said.

He added that if three women wrestling stars in the ring at the same time are not enough for fans, the evening also will features a ten-women tag-team match.

"Alicia & Brittney Savage & The Soul Sisters (Jana & Latasha) & Marti Belle will team up against rivals Allisyn Kay & Sassy Stephanie & Lexus & Jennifer Cruz & Tina San Antonio," LiCata said.

In men's action, NWS Cruiserweight Champion "Mr. Entertainment" J.D. Smoothie will be in Stirling, along with new tag-team The Gavone Brothers, Jeff "Cannonball" Guerrero, Austin Williams, and more, he said.

In other ladies action, Becky Bayless (a.k.a former TNA/Impact Wrestling star Cookie) will challenge WSU Spirit Champion Jessica Havok, and "Boy Diva" Rick Cataldo will be challenged by Jessie Brooks.

The show will also include LiCata as guest ring announcers, along with Long Hill P.B.A. Patrol Officer Gary Bauer.

"We are looking forward to a packed house on the 21st for this event," he said, encouraging those who wish to attend to buy tickets in advance.

Tickets are $20 and all seats are ringside, LiCata said. Tickets are also available locally by calling (908) 766-6163, or by calling the NWS box office at (732) 888-1704. All major charge cards are accepted. 

Tickets are available at all locations, including those in Basking Ridge, Bernardsville, the Millington section of Long Hill and Martinsville, he said. Tickets also are available at Investor Savings Bank in the Stirling section of Long Hill, he said.
