Leave Me Lying Here

For its 20th anniversary, Harley and Don revisit IWA Mid-South's Volcano Girls, a landmark show in the history of American women's wrestling.
On May 30, 2004 Dave Prazak booked Becky Bayless, Traci Brooks, Lexie Fyfe, Daizee Haze, Mickie Knuckles, Lacey, Mercedes Martinez, MsChif, Rain, and Sumie Sakai in a one-night tournament to crown the first IWA Mid-South Women's Champion.  The show would prove to be such a success that it led to the creation of an entire promotion: Shimmer Women Athletes.

Gimme Brains!

5 De Chocolate Y 1 De Fresa

It's the return of G&G Film Club as Em and Lindsay watch the 1968 lucha libre film The Batwoman!
When luchadors begin disappearing en masse, mild-mannered socialite/luchadora/crimefighter Batwoman is on the case.  It's a trail that leads her to Dr. Eric Williams and his nefarious plot to... do something with the pineal gland... that results in him creating a race of gill-men.  Batwoman must battle the gill-men, train the next generation of luchadoras, and outshine her incompetent cop boyfriends all while dressed in nothing more than a Batman mask and a small bikini.
