RISE and IMPACT seminar weekend

Hi my Gabbers! So this weekend I did Rise/Impact.  It was a seminar with Gail Kim, Jimmy Jacobs, Sonjay Dutt, and Scott Demore.  Now I have been wrestling since 2001, but I am always learning.  No matter who you are you can always learn more and improve.  That is the mind set you need in life. Be proud of yourself but never satisfied. (stole that from Christian Guzman.)  But its true.  There is always something new to learn in whatever you do.  In wrestling there is so much to learn. Different styles, reversals, characters, shapes and sizes, and I love it all.  The more I know the more I appreciate it even more.

So, this weekend, I met so many great girls willing to learn.  I do have to give it to Kevin that he has started RISE so there is a place for us girls to learn.  When I started there wasn’t like an all girl school. Heck it was hard enough to get in a regular school. When I started most wrestling schools wouldn’t let girls join. I had to go almost 2hrs from my house in north New Jersey to train. Then still have to go to High school in the morning. There just weren’t that many opportunities for the girls that were lucky enough to train.  The girls today have so much opportunities.  As I’m a little jealous sometimes, not of the girls but how people look at women’s wrestling. But I’m more excited. There are so many girls now but there is room for everyone. I can’t wait to wrestle them all!

Well I’m not sure if this weekend will lead to any bookings or contracts. It is a step in the right direction. Even more so I am so happy I got to meet these girls and form new relationships. And I know that one day when I leave wrestling (not anytime soon) that women’s wrestling is in great hands.

If you want to see clips of the seminar, you can check it out on Impact Twitch. The matches I believe are on the Rise website.

Check out my IG to see some of the girls from this weekend.  Become fans of them and ask your local promotion to see a match between me and them.

WWE Rosebud!!!

 It finally happened, my dream came true!! Well partially, I got a chance to work for WWE. As a Rosebud for Adam Rose, I got a chance to see how WWE works and experience performing live. Ok so I only walked to ringside and danced around but it was the greatest moment of my life. Of course I would love to do more but if thats all I get to do with WWE at least I can say I worked for WWE. And that is a dream I never thought would happen.
  But now that I had a taste for WWE I want it more than ever before. That far fetched dream that everyone thought I was crazy for having seems so reachable now. On that note keep your eyes open for me. I might be background or I might be main event. No matter what you will see me there again!!! #Determined

ECWA

Last show Bamm Bamm came out and "strutted" around and in the ring as my match started. As I was trying to get him out of the ring so I can start Candy hits me from behind. Totally throwing me off and caused me to lose my match.  Well if he whats to be part of my matches so much he got his wish. On Jan 17th its ME vs Bamm Bamm JD Browning.

Toys for Tots!

Sat Dec 6 in Woodbury, NJ join me and the rest of ECWA give back to Toys for Tots!
Every child, if they believe in Santa or not should be able have a gift this holiday. Help make a child happy and bring a gift to the show.  And as our thanks you get to watch ME wrestle hahaha. It will be tons of fun!! See you there.

My Fantasy....

OK Boys its time for my fantasy.... Fantasy Football League that is heheh.

Well I always had someone in my life watching football near me. Like any girl, never really sure what is going on. But the more I hang out with friends that actually play football I'm learning more about the game and really starting to like it. With my friend, you might know her as Barb Dwyer, playing tackle football she makes me want to play. But with the fear of getting hurt and not being able to wrestle, I'm still debating on playing.
 So till then I have convinced my bf to let me in his fantasy football league. Of course he wont let me in his real fantasy league for money. Which I don't understand, if I'm clueless about football wouldn't you want me in your league so you can take my money lol. Well he says he doesn't want me to keep asking him questions during the games lol. Like I'm not going to do it anyway lmao.
Well Pat has started a league with his video games friends. And I'm actually aloud in this one. We will be live streaming the draft. I will tweet it so you can all watch the fun time of me trying to pick players that are still playing. (Just found out that Emit Smith doesn't play anymore lol jk). Maybe you guys can even help me with my picks.

Since I'm getting all my info off the show "The League" and its one of my favorite shows anyway. I named my team... "Team Taco" plus I also thought it fits being that I'm the only girl in it heheh. Our League is "PatkickSports" so I don't know if you can check it out or not. Maybe not till after the draft. But.... yeah.... idk .... lol

We will be live streaming it Wed, Sept 4, at 7pm.  Look for my tweets!


Whooooos ready for some footballlllllll!!!!!?????!!!!!????

Zip-lining!!!!

Check another one off my bucket list!  This past weekend I went zip-lining!

I went zip lining with my amazing bf and a few friends. We went to Skytop adventure lodge. I got it on Living Social for $40 for 2 people. Which is an awesome deal because most places are like $100. But even without the coupon it was still $40 for 1 person.
The place was so nice. Great scenery . Trees, lake, mountain... just great views all over.  We teamed up with another group that made it even more fun. There were really nice and just made it better. We had a cool guide named Kevin.
Lets just say I'm kind of afraid of heights. But I got threw it with the help of my amazing boyfriend Patrick.  Some of the obstacles were hard for me cause I'm short and my legs just barely reached. But Pat was ahead of me telling me how I can do it. And being right there when I needed a hand to get to the next base. Of course him going ahead of me didn't help when he would walk across the bridges making them wobble all over the place lol. But even with that making it a bigger challenge I still got through it. And it was freaking fun!!!!!!  I highly encourage everyone to try zip lining as soon as possible. I can't wait to do it again.  I do want to try another place where we do more zip lining and less obstacles.


The next day we all went to Camel Beach water park. It was alot of fun. The water sides were so fast and almost roller coaster like.  And if you guys know me, of course I got sick. Yup. I didn't throw up but I kind of wish I did. All the rides got me a little dizzy but I think the one that hit me the most was I think called the Viper. It was the red slide that is a tunnel tube where it is pitch black and alot of turns. When I got to the bottom, I couldn't stand up. I was falling before I even could brace myself to get up. Then we did the ski lift. Again I am scared of heights and was freaking out the whole way up the mountain.  But then again he was my hero, Patrick to save the day. Holding my hand and making me feel safe. I thought the way down would be worse but I was focusing on him and the great view I was witnessing. And enjoying the fact I got to experience it with him.

I had a great weekend and I hope you guys did too!

ZIPP.. ZIPPPP!!!!

New Workout

Hey guys,

So you know I'm trying new workouts. I just bought new Groupon for kickboxing classes. I can't wait to try it out.These are at Amerikick. I'm not sure if they will be the same as the ones I'm doing at the MMA school. But I'm still excited.

I also got my co-worker at Retro, Andrew, to write me up a workout for me. I haven't had a chance to do it yet. He said to do it once a week. He seems really excited about working out so I'm def trying to make him my new workout buddy.

I love doing tag team workouts with Latasha. When we skype and do the same On Demand workout at the same time. lol We might not be n the same state but we are in the same state of mind. Workout Mode.
She keeps me motivated and I hope I keep her just as motivated. We have the same dreams and goals in mind. So its good we have each other to push ourselves in the right direction.
Love that girl.

Let me know what workouts you are doing and what is keeping you motivated.

Sorry!

Hey Guys, Sorry for the lack of updating here.  Trying to get my "real" life in order.
There is supposed to be a Rainbow Bright Mexico tour & Australia tour. Sorry but things keep changing. So no definite dates at this time.

I am also in the process of getting new gear. So keep a look out for some pix.

For now I'm just enjoying and catching up on my "real" life. Being that I'm 29, I'm trying to get done alot of my bucketlist done before I'm 30.

2013! Not your typicial year!

Hey you hip cats,

Its 2013! I'm so excited. I'm sorry I haven't updated lately. I couldn't get into my site. I finally did just now and still not sure how it worked this time lol. I am not computer savvy.

Well..... Anyway.... This is not your typical diva and 2013 will not be a typical year for me.  Not only am I turning 30 this year. Yes 30!! Shocker! (in October)  but this my 12th year in this awesome biz call Pro Wrestling (or Sports Entertainment to some).  I am freaking excited. Looking back at all I have done, I'm still in shock that I even got to do any of it. But I also realize that there is so much more I want to do. So this is the year I really make it happen!

Not only do I have a lot I want to accomplish in wrestling but also outside of it too.  I am going to be 30. Thankfully no kids (yet). I want to do so much. I have a whole bucket list of stuff. Check it out when you get chance. Maybe you can help me check off my list. Make one of your own and tell me about it. We can do it together. I hope if someone sees something they can help me with they will let me know. And I really want to know whats on your list. I might like it enough to put on mine.

Well if you have already check out my bucket list you realize I have a lot on my plate. Its hard to juggle everything. But I'm going to do it. Its fun living out your dreams. I hope everyone does.

I am still trying to figure out how to put paypal up on here so people can buy my stuff. Sorry its been taking so long. But if someone has any tips for me please let me know. Till then come to my shows and but my stuff first hand.
I am also trying to update this as much as possible and do my "Gabbin w/ Gabby" videos more often. Working on some cooking vids also. They were going to be "Pots, Pans & Pro Wrestling" but it might just be "In My Messy Kitchen"  because its hard to get wrestlers together to cook lol.  maybe that will be a special and I'll just show clips in between things.  well we will see.

Plus this year is the year of Rainbow Bright! The most colorful tag team ever!  Keep your eye out for Luscious Latasha (T: @LusciousLatasha )and I as we take over the world. Starting with our Mexico tour this spring. Keep checking back for more dates. And book us to challenge your local tag champs. As we are trying to hold belts everywhere. We will wrestle girls and guys. We don't care, all we see are Titles!!!!

More to come soon. Till then check out @PatkickGaming and his funny vids. You might find me on some. #Trolling

Modeling and Comedy

So Comedy 215 with Chris Smith had a modeling contest for a face of Comedy 215.  After the voting online, the finalist were invited to a comedy show to pick a winner. And guess who won.... ME!  I got on stage told a joke, shook my ass. Now I'm the face of Comedy 215.  And since I have so much going on I can't always be there. So all the finialist are going to represent Comedy 215.  But I'm still the winner!!!!

Captain Lucky, ME, Chris Smith

Well last night I went to a Comedy 215 on the Ben Franklin Yacht in Philly, PA. Where Chris Smith was funny as always. 4 hours of great comedy, free buffet ( that I totally destroyed), and open bar, on the Delaware River. Than danced the night away on the 3rd floor, dance floor.  Had so much fun. And hope to see you at more up coming events. For more info  http://www.comedy215.com/

Taking it to the Xtreme!

With only 2 shows left can I leave Mexico as champ? I sure plan to.  I plan on holding this title for a long time. Not only defending it here in Mexico but all over the world.  But with this extreme match coming up it makes me little nervous. But then I think how I survived Queen of the Deathmatch with Mickie Knuckles & Lufisto. So I know I got this & these bitches better watch out cause I'm taking it to the Xtreme! (I am Xtreme Girl after all hehe)

I won! Still Champ!

Video of my Xtreme match in Mexico.

UnMasked!

In my time here in Mexico, I have been under a mask as Xtreme Girl. Which is awesome because I always wanted to do a masked gimmick. Plus its also a great way to appericate Mexican wrestling & the lucha style. Under the mask I have won the LLF Jr. Championship Belt. Which I still hold & will continue to defend as Gabby Gilbert.

There was a tournament called "Roulette of Death" which the loser loses her mask. Which has become a yearly thing at LLF.

 In this years tournament it was a battle royal entry which you have to pin or submit to win. The last in the ring loses her mask.  I did win but came back to save someone who was being beating with a chair. Reentering the ring, I reentered myself in the tournament. Then I lost my mask to Bandida. You can find the match on my youtube page.

LLF Jr. Champ!

1 month in Mexico

Ok people it has been 1 month in Mexico & I’m having fun. Ok so my 1^st week not so great. Well I don’t want to say that but if read my Japan blog, I don’t do good on planes.  Ok so I was sick on the plane but I didn’t puke! Then a long car ride (that did not help the sickness) to Monterrey, MX. So that is where I’m staying.  Now this might be too much info but it was also that time of the month when I got here. Which might be part of the reason I was so grumpy my 1^st week. Plus the stress of how I left things at home before I came. New house, broken car, leaving Steve with everything. Ok As much as I love traveling for this awesome business, I hate being away from my man & my home. Well I’m ok when he leaves lol so maybe just my home.  I just feel so out of my element and lost. I hate feeling lost. Even while just driving and I get lost, I get really upset and cry.

But anyway, I am so happy and grateful to be here. A dream come true. It’s hard talking to the girls because I don’t know a lick of Spanish & they don’t know any English. Plus getting used to that tag matches here are always 2 out of 3 falls. And both team members have to be pinned/submitted to lose the fall.  So yeah I was really confused at first. I was really down on myself. Like really down. But I’m ok now. I made some friends. I found some food places that I like. And you all know what a picky eater I am.  I think I felt better after I got to talk to Steve on the phone. Hearing his voice just makes me so happy inside.  He just makes everything better.

So I am cutting back on the soda (can’t quit its too good). I’m running every morning. Which was hard at first because I did get lost a few times. But I didn’t cry! Took me awhile but I found my way back.  But have no excuses (work, dogs, etc.) for me to get in shape. I haven’t done so great the 1^st month but I promise to do better this 2^nd month.  I want to come back a better me.

I am trying to get the most out of this experience by doing as much as I can.  Learning as much as I can. Seeing as much of Mexico as I can.  Plus my new friend, Freddy is a great tour guide.  Did you know that wrestling/ Lucha Libre is still considered a sport here. Which I think is awesome. Plus learning what a mask means down here is so cool. Being that I’m under one down here is freakin awesome to me.  I always wanted to be under a mask. Its not the best looking mask but I love it.

I am starting to get the hang of things down here but there is so much more I can learn and improve on. Oh yeah did I mention that I won a belt? Yuppers I did. I won the LLF Jr Championship belt. I am trying to work hard to prove that I deserve it and keep it. Learning how to kick some ass in new ways down here.  I can’t wait to come back to the states and show the new improve ass kicking Gabby Gilbert.  Hopefully I’ll come back with new gear.

Well this is my update. Pix soon. To keep up with me in more detail follow me on twitter @IamGabbyGilbert 

And I will be back on May 1^st.  So if you are looking to book me please email me at Gabby@GabbyGilbert.com

Check you later Bitches.

My 1st day in Mexico

Alright people I'm going to try to do this every couple days while I'm here in Monterrey, Mexico!. I'll be here for 2 whole months and this is my 1st day.

Well you probly saw most of my tweets (thsts if you follow me @IamGabbyGilbert ) about my day as it was happening.  So I got to the Philly airport like 6hrs early. I caught up on my Xtreme Odd Couple Podcast w/ Steve Corino & Rob Dimension.  You can find it on www.XOCpodcast.com
Well started to fall asleep. I wake up and realize it time to check in. First flight I had an aisle seat and no one next to me but someone at the window. Which is fine cause I just need elbow room incase I puke.  Of course the 1st thing I do on the plane is check for a barf bag. Found it! So it seems everytime I am given a barf bag I don't puke. So I was happy I didn't puke but felt little bad. Got off and went straight to the other gate with just enough time to ue the bathroom and board.  OMG this plane was small. like 2 seats the aisle then 1 seat. I was the very last seat on the single side.  Which I was fine with. But my ears we popping I was feeling dizzy. I could almost feel the puke building up.  Good thing I didn't eat much. I just kept breathing and tried to take a nap.  Felt really bad by the time I got off the plane but NO PUKE!

Waiting around to get picked p made me so nervous.  How long do I sit there before I realize no one is coming and I should change my flight. I was like I will give it 24 hrs lol.  Then I tried to go online and the airport was trying to charge me. FUCK that shit.   Finally someone came for me. I was so happy to get out of the airport. They asked if I was hungry and what I eat. hahah litle do this people know I am a very picky eater and only eat like 3 things.  Well trying to be nice. "Anything is fine"  HUGH LIE! Thank god they said hamburger.Till I got to thinking how my friend Ed went to Mexico asked for a hamburger and got ham between 2 pieces of bread.(I don't eat ham)  I'm like wait we are still in Texas, they have to mean a real hamburger. fingers crossed.  Well we pass Wendys, BK, Jack in the box, another BK, Md's, another Wendys... where the fuck are we going to eat this hamburger? Now I don't speak a lick of Spanish but I can tell we are lost. I know the face. I have that face almost all day every day. So finally we pull up to something with a Wonder Woman symbol on it.  its called "Whataburger" never heard of it but it looked better then a ham sandwich. check it out on www.whataburger.com

Then we go to Walmart then across the boarder. I didn't realize it was the boarder at first. We got over in like a sec. Didn't even look at my passport or even ask our names. She opened the door said something they said no then we drove off. Felt like we just slowed down didn't stop lol  It better be that easy coming home.

So I'm so tired by this point up over 24hrs not including the mins of sleep I got at the airport and the plane.  So i try to nap in the car to randomly wake up like mins before I hear my name on the radio.  Yuppers They were talking about me and I couldn't understand any of it lol But it was freakin awesome.
Finally get to Monterrey where I was forced to eat enchalata which was kinda ok. like I eat it but would never ask for it again kinda good. Hung out at the "arena" now finally at his place where I am staying.  So tired but So excited.

I feel like I will only be here a week or a few days. Its crazy to think that I will be here for 2 months.  I think its going to go by fast.  I have an interview tomorrow on a radio station.  yup remeber I don't know any Spanish... yup this is going to be fun lol.

Well keep checking back to find out what else is going on with me in Mexico.

Oh yeah the 1st thing I saw when I crossed the board of course was a Coca-Cola truck. I laughed so hard. Plus thinking about what I just heard on XOCpdcast how Steve Corino thinks its a cult. lol well I am seeing tons of Coke stuff hear and 'm taking pix of all of it.  Then you can be the judge if you think its a cult or just yummy.

plus I'm trying to do vids of my adventure and hopefully of some matches too. So lots to look forward to.
Now to sleep awkwardly in someone else's house for the next 2 months as I did for the past 2 weeks.  This crazy thing I call life.
