----- Both Daffney Unger and April Hunter will be receiving tryouts at the WWF's tryout camps in Cincinnati soon. Hunter states that she is honored to received a tryout, in here weekly newsletter. [Amish Patel]

The following is from Daffey's website, scream-squeen.com:

 "Sorry it's been a while since I posted, things have been a little hectic. I had to do a little thinking on responding to the posts about me attending a tryout camp for the WWF. So, I can now tell all my wonderful Daffanatics that yes, IT'S TRUE! I was hesitant because as I said, it is JUST a TRYOUT. It does not guarantee me a job, just a chance to go to Ohio and tryout. I guess that I didn't want to say anything because if I go and don't get an offer it won't feel that great, but I felt you guys deserved to know what I was up to. Maybe during the week that I'm there (April 20 -27th) people that care can keep me in mind and send positive thought my way. Who knows what will happen... I'm just going to concentrate and give it my best shot. I've been in serious training, and I've had quite a few matches with Malia Hosaka to prepare me. I'm excited to have such an opportunity to tryout. I'll let you guys know how it goes!! Thanks for all your support! Keep Screamin'! Daff." [Amish Patel]

NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 6 /PRNewswire/ -- NWA-TNA: Total Nonstop Action, the new weekly series of pay-per-view wrestling, has announced its all-star line-up of wrestlers and on-air personalities performing on the debut broadcast on June 19. The NWA World Heavyweight Champion will be determined by a 20-man "Gauntlet for the Gold" competition. The broadcast will also feature a 10-girl "Lingerie Battle Royal" with the fabulous TNA Girls.

The TNA Girls, NWA's stable of beauties, will compete in a 10-girl "Lingerie Battle Royal" for the "Miss TNA" title. The match will feature "The Queen of Extreme" Francine and a bevy of hard-bodied hotties.

The premiere event broadcasts live on June 19 at 8:00 p.m. EDT, and will broadcast every Wednesday thereafter. The weekly NWA-TNA events are available at a suggested price of $9.95 on pay-per-view by calling your local cable or satellite operator [WrestlingDotCom]

I'm not sure who the reporter was at WrestlingDotCom that reported that the 10-girl "Lingerie Battle Royal" for the "Miss TNA" title was going to happen on the NWA TNA PPV debut the 19th, but it either got changed or their information was incorrect.

In case you didn't know the NWA TNA show will air weekly at a cost of $9.95 per show. It wasn't a bad show but I didn't see it warranting $9.95 per week. It will be interesting to see how many people will be willing to pay $40.00 per month to watch.

I paid my $9.95 and sat down looking forward to the match and was immediately disappointed when they announced they would be introducing who would be competing for the title next week. They let all the ladies come to the ring, and of course we got the proverbial cat fight. Bet you can't guess who?? Yep -- Francine the "Queen Of Extreme" and Elektra, after Francine told everyone that it was a cinch that the "Queen Of Extreme" would win the match and Elektra took exception to that by saying it didn't look like Francine was the Queen of anything.

The following was posted on their web site at www.nwatna.com

"Don West and Ed Ferrara went to the ring and brought out the beautiful ladies that would be in next week's Lingerie Battle Royal. Francine, Miss Joanie, Shannon, Alexis Marie, Erin, Elektra, Taylor and Teresa all came down to the ring. Francine then took the mic and told the other ladies that they didn't belong in the ring with her. Elektra took exception to that and the two women brawled in the ring until Francine ripped Elektra's top off and left!"

Yeah right -- she had a bra on underneath -- not quite like they make it sound. They also forgot to mention Daffney who is entered in the competition.

Alicia Webb (R. Shamrock, Symphony) also made an appearance during a match.  [owow.com]

06/26/02 NWA TNA 1st Ever Lingerie Battle Royal
The Lingerie Battle Royal winner would be crowned the first Miss TNA. The rules were simple, when you were stripped of your pajamas, you were out of the match. Francine, who was the early favorite, was eliminated by a group of women including Daffney and Elektra and she wasn't at all happy about it.

After leaving the ring she collapsed on the arena floor and began sobbing. Ed Ferrara went over to console her and while helping her off the floor he also grabbed her breast. It was obvious that Francine was livid over this, but she cooly changed her demeanor and started to take Ed's pants off. As soon as she had his belt she began beating him with it all the way around the ring.

After disposing of him she managed to grab a pajama top from the floor and put it back on while the match came down to Taylor Vaughn and Elektra. Taylor stripped Elektra's pajama's off and was declared the winner. Francine attacked her from behind and then grabbed the belt and began beating Taylor with it until the ref was able to get her out of the ring and head backstage.  [owow.com]  For Pics - Click Here.

WebMaster's Note:  This was one of the worst "special event matchs" I have ever seen.  First the women came out in pajamas.  Most of these type of matchs the women come out in sexy clothing and then get stripped to their lingerie.  Second it had been billed as a "10 woman" match and there was only 9.  Then to top it off the in-ring announcer got the first two women mixed up - if you know anything about wrestling you know who Francine is - and stopped announcing them totally.  Of course Mike Tenay the super commentator that he is - not! - didn't pick up the slack and let us know who was entering the ring, so unless you knew the women you had no idea who the heck they were.  At least from their it was pretty entertaining.
