The description for the next syndicated Women Of Wrestling: “All the drama between the champions Holly Swag and Penelope Pink and the former tag team champions Miami Sweet Heat has led to this… it’s the WOW World Tag Team Championship Cage Match! No one will leave the cage unscathed, but who will walk away as the WOW World Tag Team Champions and the winners of this vicious feud? The legacy of the Fabulous Lana Star’s once all powerful faction hangs in the balance!” (WOW)

NXT this week did a 0.10 18-49 and 572,000 viewers, down from 0.12 and 707K. (PI)

Gail Kim says promoters thought they didn’t need to pay her because her husband was celebrity chef Robert Irvine: “I’ve had promoters literally admit to me that they didn’t wanna pay me because they thought my husband was rich. When I met my husband, he wasn’t rich, okay? He worked his ass off to get where he is in his successes, to this day, and I’ll say, I used to resent it so much. Now, I’m so grateful and I’m like, you know what though? Because he is successful now, I’m not in a place where I can be pushed around or accept less than my value and all those things, so, it’s kind of a double-edged sword in a sense, but, it’s just mind-blowing.”

How low? Gail Kim says they offered her $36,000 a year even after her segments with Awesome Kong were the highest rated on the show week in and week out.
