Last year, Diva Dirt hand-picked five talents for its second annual Five to Watch list who we felt were making waves in women’s wrestling and embodied the traits it took to be a standout star. Those five talents, we felt had the talent, the look and personality to go far in the business and as such, they received the Diva Dirt stamp of approval.
This year, the Five to Watch is back! Five new talents will be unveiled over five days, beginning tomorrow, November 1st. Who will make this year’s list? The competition has been tough, as we’ve noticed more rising talent than ever before. But before we unveil the Class of 2011, we’re taking a look back at the Class of 2010 and what they’ve been up to since we included them in last year’s list…
LEVA BATES
Leva Bates caught fans’ attention with her unique and quirky personality. A self-confessed comic book fan, Leva would dress up in ring attires inspired by the likes of everything ranging from Chun_Li from Street Fighter to Iron Man.
Well, this year, Leva found a like-minded fan of all things geek chic, veteran wrestler Allison Danger. Together, they formed Regeneration-X (it’s a Doctor Who thing), and have become SHIMMER’s most loveable tag team. With a veteran tag team partner and mentor in her corner, Leva can only get better.
Also this year, Leva took part in a TNA tryout with Isis the Amazon.
