Marti Belle teamed up with Channel 12 newscaster Shawn Burgan to take on NYWC Starlet Champion Nikki Syx and Victor Cruz in a mixed tag team match for New York Wrestling Connection‘s biggest show of the year, “Psycho Circus X”, on February 18.
Belle and Burgan scored the victory after Burgan hit Cruz with a leg drop.
Given Burgan’s involvement in the match, it was filmed for a segment for local television. There’s a big possibility highlights may be broadcast at some point, which would be some nice publicity for both women involved and NYWC.

Stacy Keibler has been one busy lady this week!
On Wednesday February 15, she stepped out for her very first Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week show when she made an appearance at the Michael Kors presentation with Marie Claire’s Nina García.
She next hit up the Marchesa show later that same day, where she sat in a prime position front-row seat near Bar Refaeli, Taylor Momsen, Jenna Dewan and Adepero Oduye.
It appears as though Stacy’s a big fan of the fashion house – she rocked a black lace fishtail Marchesa gown at the 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards at the end of January.
That’s the news for now. Which tidbits have got you talking? Tell us in the comments…
