Welcome to The Five to Watch 2010! Diva Dirt is always on the look-out for bright, young talent breaking into the scene in women’s wrestling. Always with a finger on the pulse of up and coming talent, over the next week, we will bring to you the five talents we that we feel could be breakout stars in the future. Meet the Class of 2010…
BRITTNEY SAVAGE
Who is she?
In just two years, 23-year old Brittney Savage has had one of the fastest ascensions in independent women’s wrestling. Trained by the NYWC head trainer Pat Buck, the current WSU Spirit Champion has quickly risen to the top of Women Superstars Uncensored, accruing multiple championship reigns and becoming one of WSU’s highest profile stars, second only to the internationally known Mercedes Martinez. Determined to raise her profile to even greater heights, Brittney has ensured that the power remains on her side, as her heel faction “The Cosmo Club” continues to dominate WSU into the tail end of 2010. With her ever improving ring skills, natural promo skills and undeniable charisma, Savage has even caught the eye of WWE, competing under the name of Brittany Carter during the Beth Phoenix Squash Tour of late 2009.
Her story so far…
Since making her pro wrestling debut two years ago, Brittney has worked for NWA, ACE, WXW and several other independent promotions in the mid-atlantic area. However, Savage’s greatest success has been in the aforementioned WSU. Mere months after her debut for the promotion, Brittney captured the WSU Tag Team Championships with then partner April Lee (WWE NXT’s AJ). Following Lee’s signing with WWE, Brittney turned heel and feuded with main eventer Alicia, winning the WSU Spirit Championship from her on two occasions. With her strong allies The Cosmo Club (Rick Cataldo and WSU Tag Team Champions Cyndi Rogers and Jana), Brittney has mastered the Eddie Guerrero art of lying, cheating and stealing her way to a win. It is only a matter of time before Brittney utilizes these talents in a quest towards becoming WSU Champion.
Why we chose her…
While Brittney is an ever improving talent in the ring, she finds herself on our Five to Watch because of her charisma and ability to be the mic person and figurehead of a faction that has dominated an entire promotion, something that very few wrestlers of either gender can make claim to. With Brittney’s ability to align herself with the right people in order to get ahead, we have to wonder, will we see her alongside a certain former tag team partner in the WWE?
