Some people just seem to get it, and Nicole Savoy is certainly one of those folk. Just five years into her career Savoy is one of the hottest young talents in all the United States, and brings something different to the women's wrestling table. The female Matt Riddle? Maybe.

Trained in MMA, Savoy is making her name as a submission specialist. This style of pure strike and twist pro wrestling would be a welcome addition to the Mae Young Classic. Sure, submissions in women's wrestling today are extremely common, but Savoy's focus is on a different level.

A serious knee injury hindered her progress somewhat, but Nicole Savoy could well be the dark horse for the whole thing. Do yourself a favour and get on this bandwagon early.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
