Jenna Morasca has posted the following blog on her MySpace, defending her wrestling debut at Victory Road: Wrestling blog equal opportunity for haters and non haters Eventually I wanted to blog about my wrestling debut match Sunday. Before I do that I want to encourage everyone to pick up a copy of this weeks People magazine to read about and see the powerful pictures of Ethan's cancer battle. Also there is a new great funny video of me sticking it to Ethan on People.com (link in my blog). OK onto the wrestling. This past Sunday on Victory Road I had my debut match against Sharmell LIVE! I want to thank everyone who has sent me love and props for the match. I also know some wrestling lovers were not as excited as I was. I want to clear up a few things. First, you cannot judge my match against Sharmell like you would a pro such as Kong, Tara, etc. The reason why- I am NOT a wrestler! The match was not to debut my wrestling skills it was purely for entertainment, which I think it was. Considering I have never wrestled in my life and only had a few days to practice everything I am really proud of myself. So you cannot judge and analyze as you would another wrestler. Its apples and oranges in my mind. Second, for it being my first match EVER and first time ever doing wrestling moves I am freaking proud of myself, I had fun, thought it looked good, and no one got hurt. Last I heard some people crying about wrestling should be reserved for "legit" wrestlers and "legit" matches. I have to say to that- PILLOW FIGHT MATCH. I have seen matches where literally all the girls were doing was hitting each other with pillows in lingerie. At least I was doing a cross body, splash, etc. Along with some fun campy stuff like my pin and entrance (which I loved). But I was always told any press is good press and I gues the fact that people are still talking about it, and my entrance is a good thing! Needless to say I had fun, thought the match looked good, and I am proud of Sharmell and I.
