Sara Del Rey - On Divas, Models, and Wrestling

[bwdwn2fm]

Sara Del Ray doesn't belong in the WWE. Why? B/c in several ways, she's too good for the WWE. They often don't give the men the time to have a great match, but the women? Forget it. The women get like 4 minutes to show something and then they're told to wrap it up.

Plus, she'd probably be forced to job to Kelly Kelly and then I'd be in the market for a new TV after putting my fist through the one I have now.

[xDivatoxicV3]

She said that her goal for 2012 is to get in WWE.

[CMY187]

@xDivatoxicV3 Good luck to Del Rey. No, seriously. Good luck to her. She's going to need it.

After all of CM Punk's efforts, and they were incredible and tremendous, nonetheless, the most he could do is to get WWE to at least acknowledge the word "wrestling" now.

Who knows? Perhaps Del Rey could bring some life to the looks-but-no-skill women division in WWE. But I seriously doubt that she'll succeed. Still, I hope it dosen't go too badly for her there.

[xDivatoxicV3]

I know say that she needs to be in WWE or TNA but I say know. In WWE, her talent would be watered down so much that people will start to think that Kelly is better than her. She needs to stay where she is because thats why people love her.

[theseverancerising]

Sara does not need WWE or TNA. She shouldn't have to sell out and become someone she isn't just to get a bigger spotlight or paycheck. If she went to WWE, she would lose her image, name, her moveset and job to Kelly and Eve on a weekly basis. TNA refused to hire her because she didn't look enough like the beautiful people which is bullshit. I thought the Knockouts were different than the divas in that regard but obviously Hogan's influence has killed them too. Sara can be her own woman.

[CMY187]

@theseverancerising Agreed. Unfortunately, the US mainstream could never, EVER match female wrestling with that in Japan. Almost all of the most dangerous moves in wrestling were innovated by Japanese women (Kudome Valentine, Beach Break, even the Burning Hammer)

Del Rey and Ayako Hamada had an incredible match in SHIMMER that is a shining example of what happens when you hire and push true athletes instead of models (poor Amazing Kong. The USA could NEVER match up to Japan in female wrestling.

[AdoublesLdouble]

Sara Del Rey is by far my favorite female wrestler...Cheerleader Melissa is a close second

[thepunkster90]

Even if she does get past Johnny Ace's one-sided mentality of fitting a certain criteria, she'll get buried in WWE. Indy and women wrestlers always get buried, except punk.

[funtimecheerio]

Now she wants to be a Diva...

[3klipze]

Sara Del Ray and "Molly Holly" are the best female wrestlers (divas are a joke) of all time.

[TypoDan]

I think she's damn attractive myself...

[thepunkster90]

@TypoDan according to Johnny Ace, she needs to be tall, skinny and blond,

[aguilar69]

@thepunkster90 with fake tits, fake tan, and no talent. just look at that horse face kelly kelly, mae young can still out wrestle her.

[AdoublesLdouble]

@aguilar69 Hornswoggle can outwrestle that skanky Barbie doll for fuck sake, and that's sad.

[AdoublesLdouble]

@thepunkster90 Fuck Johnny Ace. Other than inventing the Ace Crusher (DDP still did it better) the guy never did anything of any major significance to the business. The guy was only in the business because of his more famous and might I say...MORE SIGNIFICANT OLDER BROTHER

[lowblowproductions]

I love Sarah Del Rey and her burning passion for wrestling. Don't let her looks fool you :)

[Oscy]

The belief that blonde bimbos with plastic surgery and boring faces are best is an odd one.

Del Rey, Daffney, MsChif, LuFisto > Kelly Kelly Kelly, Jillian 'The Female Michael Jackson' Hall, Generic Blondes with no names, Kim, Samantha and Janet, and whatever names they think up.

Tiffany was hot though, and had that bitchy look that would've made an OK heel... but no, she had to be Generic Blonde like all the others.

[AdoublesLdouble]

@Oscy Hell, even the Holy Grail to WWE fanboys/fangirls "Trish Stratus" was one of the most overrated women wrestlers I have ever seen. Don't get me wrong, she was still better than most of the "divas" that WWE use today, but that's like saying that The Jonas Brothers sucked, but were still better than Justin Bieber

[walmartian555]

@AdoublesLdouble right even victoria was alot better than trish

even though victoria was forced to job to trish every week

[MrNorfor11]

And your still the hotter than any of those damn diva's sara mmmm!

[iroxyasoxs]

I hope Sara never goes to WWE! They will misuse her and have her job to the likes of Kelly Kelly...

[Seanatonin]

I want to book Nattie Neidhart vs. Tara/Victoria vs. Trish Stratus vs.Death Rey.

[jillfan1]

@Seanatonin DEATH REY OR NATTIE WOULD WIN THAT ONE

[CMY187]

Fans should chant "SHIMMER!" no matter what event Del Ray appears in. Her match with Ayako Hamada was to SHIMMER what Joe vs Punk was to ROH.

[owaisinus]

is she related to Jimmy Del Ray?

[AdoublesLdouble]

@owaisinus no, because her real name is Sara Amano, and her ring name is spelt Del Rey, not Del RAY

[papertrailTIP]

WWE would never hire her anyways

[AdoublesLdouble]

@papertrailTIP of course they wouldn't WWE don't want talented female wrestlers, because their ideao of good female "wrestling" is scratching and hair pulling by a bunch of whores who are too scared to break a nail

[iambernig]

I think when the Kings of Wretsling head to WWE, they should bring SDR with them. She can show up and send Kelly Kelly, Eve Torres, and the Bellas out on stretchers.

[Custom3DSMiis]

If I was her I would go to TNA not WWE

[iNNeViTable1]

SDR is a legend...and shes hot too! :)

[Aznar245]

I wish I could drink Sara's bath water

[ToozFeeeK]

i love u ass sara

[thrashermario]

i love the crazy eyes she does

[Marcell2aG]

This goes to show that a woman doesn't need fake boobs to be a great wrestling star.

[theinfamousmrsleep]

with Kharma out for a "year" I wouldn't mind seeing Sara Del Rey and MsChif kill the divas division in the wwe. enough with kelly kelly and the bellas these 2 can destroy them.

[IneedAbttrscreenname]

God... if the barbies in the wwe thought kong was stiff, imagine a del rey run in...

...Oh, I'm sorry Alicia. Was that clothsline a bit stiff? Did you land on ur shoulder?"

*BAM! ARMBAR!* >:D

[AcetylsaliciIique]

@IneedAbttrscreenname That was stupid. Any person who doesn't make sure his moves has the least chances of hurting has nothing to do in a ring. And also, make fun of someone for getting hurt in the ring is so lame. Injuries happen, that's it. Alicia's injury had nothing to do with her conditionning or a whatever... it juste happened. This is pro wrestling.

[IneedAbttrscreenname]

@AcetylsaliciIique Chillax. Dude. I'm obviously not serious. I'm not going to relentlessly knock Fox for getting injured but I'm SURE as hell not going to act as if a minor injury she should already be back from as if its some sort of tragic event. Yeah, injuries happen. Her's isn't serious. Get off of your pedestal.

[djprofyle]

I know Sara said that she didn't want to pretty, but dude, I would definitely hit that. LOL!

[wildblur]

I bet you that Miss America is going to get a shot at the WWE over her. Shame.

[extremedivas1]

people are so dumb nowadays and think trish stratus and the other wwe divas are best women wrestler in the world . But never wrestles a true wrestle in the indy or japan and even mexico .

[RAZE502]

This clip gives me hope for female wrestling, chicks like Del Rey & a bunch of joshi girls make it worth while

[TheTrueFranchise]

Yeah...as soon as I get an HD TV and HDNET they cancel the shit....bastards

[gregalon]

WWE doesn't fully grasp what people find attractive. Models are disposable. They're supposed to grab your attention, but not hold it for too long. Fans develop a stronger attachment to someone like Sara, who puts across a lot of passion and aggression. And people love to root for the underdog. So maybe she's not the prettiest or skinniest diva? All the more reason to cheer for her.

[ChrisDarling1995]

@gregalon She isnt a diva ...She is an actual wrestler

[Manonfire310]

@gregalon I personally think shes hot shit.

[Duckman2052]

Sara Del Rey: The Definition of Talent. I'd like to see her and Nattie Neidhart shoot wrestle to see who the better woman is.

[vivilakers]

@Duckman2052 they cant really wrestle. they are trained to fake wrestle

[Duckman2052]

@vivilakers and someone completely missed the words "Shoot Wrestling".

[vivilakers]

@Duckman2052 and iloled even louder. They arent trained to shoot wrestle they are trained to fake wrestle

[Duckman2052]

@vivilakers Maybe I should clarify as you still seem to not get the point. Both Nattie Neidhart and Sara Del Rey know how to "Catch Wrestle" as they were trained by people (Neidhart) and/or were influenced by people (Del Rey) who've been known to do this . Anyone with a live pulse can do this.

They may be trained to "Fake Wrestle" but they both know how to actually Wrestle.

[Project862006]

wwe is fine look who the champ is

Natalya and she is far fro ma cookie cutter model

then we got beth phoenix and melina both good workers as well

[wwetnasux]

@Project862006 I agree, but her reign hasn't been booked well. They aren't giving her any real credible challengers, which Is why I want them to bring in KONG as soon as possible to start a possible rivalry, or at least start a fewd between her and Gail Kim

[Commando0511]

Well said by a true pro. Its a shame that that most women dont take this seriously as other female wrestlers like mickie james , trish stratus, and lita

[bettydaw1970]

i am a wrestling fan of 30 years, and most men just dont get jazzed up for a womens match..i mean its just not the same...

misawa/kawada or hogan vs warrior..very diffrent matches, but very captivating..

womens wrestling just isnt captivating...

like the wnba vs the nba

[Headliner187]

She is so hot

[TheJaviferrol]

people don´t know how bad i wanna f*** her

[jillfan1]

2nd comment again i love this is definatley true ANTI MODELS LOL

[misterlaufeyson]

the real female wrestlers in roh and shimmer and japan are all better looking than the talentless sticks in wwe and tna

[deathhadou]

@misterlaufeyson seriously?

taylor wilde, daffney, angelina, mickie, sarita.... talentless? LOL

and how, let's say bull nakano or kong are better looking LMFAO

[misterlaufeyson]

@deathhadou daffney and sarita are both in shimmer... and i guess taylor wilde and angelina are good too. never seen mickie fight i don't think though.

haha, someone probably thinks kong and bull are hot..

[phREaker419]

@misterlaufeyson Kong and Bull ARE hot.

There it's been said.

[wwetnasux]

@phREaker419 which Kong, Aja or Amazing?

[TotalNonstopThemes]

@deathhadou I'm just going to close my eyes, put my hands together and pray to God that the words in your comment change when I open my eyes, because you just said Angelina Love had talent, and I... I just can't take it.

[wwetnasux]

@TotalNonstopThemes well, she has more talent than Lacey Von Erich...BUT THEN AGAIN...who doesn't? Even Hornswoggle has more talent than that bimbo

[TotalNonstopThemes]

@wwetnasux Heh, agreed somewhat. :)

[HollywoodKendrick]

Sara Del Rey should understand that wrestling is more than just being an athlete. You have to be an entertainer. Telling yourself "I'm not pretty" is not the way to get into the WWE. Be pretty in your own way. She should get her fan base up. She's a heel but she never breaks the rules, she never gets on the mic and draws heat from the crowd. Hell get on the mic and talk crap about divas atleast. She needs charisma. That's what she's lacking right now.

[ItzYahBoiToi96]

she is very pretty. WWE are interested in her and she admitted on twitter that she was in contact w/ them on July. But i find her sexy and to those saying that she shouldnt sign w/ WWE than you deserve a fucken rock thrown at you. I mean dont we want the WWE to change there womens division? Well they cant if fans dont think its a good idea. Well maybe if you guys can think through your thick heads than you can see that if she is added to the roster than that gives us more wrestlers less models.

[phREaker419]

@ItzYahBoiToi96 It will never happen so long as John Laurinaitis is still VP of WWE talent relations. No offense but don't sit there and say that we as fans of the women's wrestling and of the sport in general don't want to see a change, when you really should be saying that all the politics and backstage bull that is involved with the division right now needs to be fixed first. WWE has made it very clear they want 99% models and the other 1% bigger women who are made to dumb down and job.

[ItzYahBoiToi96]

@phREaker419 Well WWE said they are changing things around with the divisions in WWE meaning that anything could happen at this point. Su yung was recently signed by them and she doesn't look like a model what so ever and she is a indy wrestler. Same goes with tamina.

[phREaker419]

@ItzYahBoiToi96 Well ok if they are I'll give it some time but given WWE's past I would remain as skeptical as ever and I feel if Sara actually got the spot they'd screw her over within 2 years or less.

[robbo4life]

i wish WWE wasn't so fucking image consious if theywerent we'd see lufisto vs del ray and isis vs kong! instead we got kelly kelly vs layla

[SuperWildsnorlax]

I can't believe what TNA just told her 1

[wwetnasux]

TNA's Knockout division is not much better than WWE's divas nowadays if any at all,. Of course, I'm sure Amazing Kong also don't want to be noticed because of her looks as well. The Knockouts division has gone to hell ever since Kong and Melissa left. I'd like Kong to come back to ROH, and hell bring in Melissa and Madison Eagles too. We need more SHIMMER matches in ROH

[wwetnasux]

Best American female wrestler since Madusa

[krakenbwool04]

If she got implants, fake blonde extensions, fixed her teeth, and caked herself in five pounds of makeup, she could look as "pretty" as any of the WWE bimbos. But she doesn't need to.

[skullofajester]

TESTIFY!

[91gt306]

and be more considered enteratinment and for the most part vince has been successful you cant really argue with success. must respect to sara del ray tho shes awesome

[91gt306]

and not as good in the ring. not just womens wrestling but pro wrestling as a whole is struggling to be taken seriously when you say athlete you dont think of danielson or del ray you most think of kobe bryant or tom bradyor whatever becuz what they do isnt scripted. the bumps wrestlers take do hurt and injure but the fact that its scripted hurts it winners are already decided before they even step into the ring. which is exactly why vince tries to seperate themselves from wrestling

[91gt306]

why are ppl complaining so much saying the same things over and over? yeah shes a unbelieveable wrestler but vince runs things in his company a certain way if he just hires models and tries to turn them into wrestlers then thats how it is she doesnt ever have to go there. imo opinion trish was kinda overrated yeah she could wrestler but nothing compared to sara but what made her so popular was her looks first then being ok performing in the ring where as some of the women today have looks...

[ICEGOD2]

This is what WWE divas should be like as wrestlers.

[delirous8]

Unfortunately Trish Stratus sucess and as a popular diva has really lead to change in standard in women's wrestling

Every women in that roster is being programmed to have a fragement of Trish Stratus it is unfortunate

She is not to blame for all the shit going on now but her success has lead to WWE thinking every pun up girl or model can be like Trish

[haveagoodun1]

i wish a million other girls were like you, i officially like you and some day ypoulll buy me a burgeer and beer im sure lol rock on girl

[17arcano]

she might go to wwe

[JonSpam07]

Hot women > this ugly chick. No woman can wrestle. They're there for guys to jack off to and that's all there is to it.

[ReallyRealAwesomeInc]

@JonSpam07 YOU FAIL!

[TOXIC00L]

so damn true last chick i saw really wrestle in wwe was lita and the amazon chick but tna has a few great female wrestlers.

[FoxFoxxy]

She is still sexy and love her in-ring work =)

[egg64]

She reminds me of a young Sigourney Weaver.. Hotter though...

[hibernatus]

wwe don't want talented female wrestlers. They just want strippers, because the guys who watch this want only this kind of pin-ups and not real wrestlers.

If you want to see good female wrestling look at the Indies, and not at the wwe…

It's a shame, but it's the reality

[SuperWildsnorlax]

I heard that she will be getting a chance in TNA on July.

[TheSecondcitysaint]

@SuperWildsnorlax I just hopes she puts every female wrestler on the

show in their place.

[John3nigma]

@SuperWildsnorlax

I would mark the fuck out if that actually happened. 

[dsanchez96]

WWE IS RETARDED! They're supposed to want women that are "smart, sexy, and powerful"...Then what are the Bella Twins doing there?? Bellas are only sexy. Sara Del Rey IS SMART SEXY AND POWERFUL!!!

[DrunkEdgeSociety]

@dsanchez96 I don't find the Bellas that sexy to be honest

[dsanchez96]

@DrunkEdgeSociety Me neither! The only reason people think they hot is cause theyre twins.

[sindefeatist]

ive seen alot matches of Sara Del Rey shes by far 1 the best from usa. i can see why she havent been to wwe cuz all they wants are pretty skinny no talent woman and there trying to make them into wrestlers for the most part fuck that and thats why wwe woman division would never be taken seriously no were

[TheSlapdown]

Go Sara go, A real lady wrestler instead of all the WWE tarts!

[HotBoy147]

Michelle McCool is EVERYTHING a woman wrestler should be. We don't need this nobody broad in the WWE.

[lonewolfsuarez]

@HotBoy147 Sara would break McCool in half, I said this yesterday at CHIKARA yesterday in New Jersey, Sara Del Rey is one of the best females wrestling in this business today. Nothing personally against McCool but Sara earned her keep in wrestling.

[HotBoy147]

@lonewolfsuarez I'm not knocking this broad's ability in the ring because she can wrestle better than most men HOWEVER she just doesn't have the look or image of a WWE Diva or TNA Knockout (who aren't that attractive to begin with). If she wants to be in the big leagues she has to look better than this. TNA turned her down because she didn't look like the Beautiful People. And she'll be lying to herself for thinking she doesn't wanna go to WWE. Every wrestlers dream is to be in the WWE.

[TUATC18]

@HotBoy147 What the fuck are you talking about? Have you seen Sara's work?? Are you a WWE mark that doesn't know about other wrestling. WTF MATE?!

[STOMPaaa]

This woman deserves to be a WWE Woman's Champion but it's not going to because Vince only wants models not wrestlers( I know there are some good females in the WWE but you get my point right?)!

[rwm1]

WOW! Sara really is pretty w/o all that makeup. She looks like she could be a sister to Cherry Bomb. The great thing is yeah, she's pretty, heck beautiful... but also a major talent in wrestling. The Total Package!

[crazymeinmyworld]

sara del rey is awesome great wrestler

[egocentricman]

sara del ray is pretty awesome.. saw her in ohio and pittsburgh a few times.. her legs are freaking weapons

[Vicmarstar]

Sara Del Rey is a credit to the wrestling profession. One of the best.

[Aznar245]

I truly love Sara Del Rey she comes across as very honest, sweet and caring. inside the ring she is a monster but she's a beautiful sexy monster full of aggression and tactical prowess.. I wish I could propose marriage to her in the ring as she is the ultimate in womens wrestling.

[toophatpoyo]

I want her in the ring with Michelle McCool, unscripted.

[STOMPaaa]

@toophatpoyo Fuck that! How about the entire divas division one by one unscripted!

[toophatpoyo]

It's great that she takes pride in her work, but did she have to go with the Kevin Sullivan look?

[Velvetsky101]

you tell em' sara

[SaintofKillers66]

deth rey hell yeah

[MB69RatedR]

She's really beautiful. I wish she realized that. She could be a model AND a wrestler if she wanted and she'd do a damn good job doing it. She's the best women's wrestler ever, and I don't want her thinking she isn't beautiful.

[newagepun]

You know its a lot easier to make wrestlers pretty and give them a new look than taking models and make them as wrestlers. Of course if they can all get past the fact of accepting a female wrestler doesn't look like a twig and moves like a stone in the ring.

[ncm1985]

well said sara, and a great athlete you are too.....

[AmericanDragonfan]

i have crush on Sara!

[Hootbu]

I love Sara, but she comes across like a huge mark.

[90mv]

@Hootbu a huge wrestling fan ?

[FaMariDiez28]

She loves this sport, u know, when people see her, i think they see passion, and that's something that u don't see in girls like kelly and LVE

[princesstamika]

My respect for Sara just went up even higher. And it was pretty high to begin with. Sara and all the women who got into wrestling because they love it and want to wrestle deserve so much better. It's a shame women with skill in the ring are "unmarketable". And that womens' wrestling in the mainstream has NO HEAT as wrestling whatsoever because there's no difference between any of the women- they're all the same shade of "I have to be hot if I want to be employed and never competent"

[blazer79]

Sara Del Rey is AWESOME! She is what a lady wrestler should be. I just would wish that some Divas would get in the ring with Sara. Talk about giving Divas wrestling lessons. Sara woiuld be the ultimate instructor.

[xXshinsekaiXx]

wrestling against Sara will make them better wrestlers, but will kill them too. No matter wath the case is, we win XD.

[Lamarcus12]

She has so much in common with me she's a nutcase too!

[calicoboricua83]

Sara <3

[gradilla323]

ignorant

[TUATC18]

@JonSpam07 Thinking like that is what's wrong with YOU.

[raizinghayl]

Sara would make a good replacement for kong in TNA but I am hoping she will EVOLVE this weekend. It's possible with both Claudio & Hero in evolve, it seems like 1 of them may be tapping that...also would like to see Neveah more in ROH and less of Daizee Haze.

[hardynero]

the best woman wrestler in the world

[anglefan85]

Its a damn shame that women like "Death Rey" get pushed aside in this business in place of women like Kelly Kelly and Lacey Von Erich, who don't even deserve to be in the ring.

She deserves so much better.

[Lurvy1963]

@anglefan85 I agree. Here is a female wrestler who doesn't want to be another ring bimbo like what we see in WWE and TNA, but an athlete. People like her deserve to be noticed and bringing back the sport of professional wrestling. ROH looks like a great place to do it.

[BruiserDrop]

@anglefan85 Things are turning around though. Already Japan and Mexico will push a lot of good indy talent. TNA has pushed a lot of good indy talent as well. Lacey Von Erich will get better in the ring. I understand why TNA hired her. They hired her intentionally because of her looks to put her in the one and only female group they have to mock the WWE divas (The Beautiful People). But 99% of the indy women they hire are really talented and its not just based on looks only.

[DrunkEdgeSociety]

@BruiserDrop 6 months after this comment and Lacey still cant't sell a basic headlock properly. The girl is as bad as Jackie Gayda was, if not worse

[DeidaraXL]

@anglefan85 testify

[ronstermaniac1]

@anglefan85 Agreed!

[MilosChikarason]

She don't wanna be pretty but she unfortunately is. Shit happens.

[Sneezlebob]

@MilosChikarason She also has a huge ass :P

[NirvanaJon]

We need more women like this in the sport.

[STLMiracle]

I think ima put her in my favorite Female Wrestler Category :)

[aryx027]

Jealousy strikes again.

[rpg1275]

Amen Sara! Awesome wrestler, and, IMO, she is hot. Sara del Rey kicks ass.

[johndelarge]

She says she doesn't want to be pretty? Too late.

[jillfan1]

0:24 that's how i feel go Sara and for people that say irl slike Maryse,Michelle and Kelly Kelly define wrestling think again i respect Sara ftw only becaus ether ein the WWE the biggest promotion in wrestling today but sara pwns all

[bigblac08]

hahaha sara del ray has been in a very bad mood ever sense wrestlicious debut jimmy hart and jD rich del ray mad at you two LOL

[dcfan07]

well sara you got your opinion what makes a female wrestler and people respect you for that but their a difference between a few thousands a year and a 750 thousand income a year trish stratis and few others ladies was making del ray girl grab a gimmick and come out of the indys stop being stubborn

[Amy4000]

Sara Del Rey you rock!

[squattingbuffalo]

Thank you Sara, it's about damn time!

[xDivatoxicV3]

She told it how it is. it's not all about being pretty and wear makeup

[peepintom08]

she personifies what pro wrestling should be in my eyes.

[Alnora]

With names like "Divas" and "Knockouts" it's hard to take females wrestlers seriously. You can be beautiful and kick a little behind, but they're quite outnumbered with the buxom blonds who consider kicking and hair-pulling as "wrestling." You don't have to wrestle "like a man," but wrestle like you love the sport.

[999xander999]

Well said! These models have NO passion for wrestling. If they did they would have had some training before WWE hired them. But they don't, they don't wanna be wrestlers they want fame! It pisses me off seing women like Gail Kim, Natalya & Katie Lea taking a backseat to them models. I don't blame Sara for not wanting to go there can u imagine WWE making her job to Kelly or the Bella's? Huh!

[MWE1013]

Sara Del Ray-That's what a female wrestler for ya!!

[Hawkz80]

Sara Del Rey personifies what women's wrestling should be
