ECW on Sci-Fi



Rebecca DiPietro: Gyrating for Giuliani

Posted in ECW Alumni on July 22nd, 2007

Rebecca DiPietro in the Obama Girl vs Giuliani Girl video

ECW alum Rebecca DiPietro (above, left) writhed and jiggled her way back into the spotlight last week in the new Barely Political video, “Obama Girl vs Giuliani Girl.”

Rebecca and Giuliani Girl Adelina Kristina Spencer (not to mention Obama Girl Amber Lee Ettinger) give new meaning to the phrase “body politic.”

Looks like Rebecca can actually dance, unlike some of her ECW co-divas. (No need to point fingers or name names - you know who I mean.) Watching the “Obama Girl vs Giuliani Girl” video reminded me that Extreme Exposé really doesn’t have to be quite so painfully awkward each week.

To celebrate Rebecca getting back to work, here are a couple of my favorite photos from one of her old modeling gigs:

Sci-Fi Starlet Saturday: Grace Park

Posted in Women of Sci-Fi on July 21st, 2007

Another Saturday, another sexy sci-fi starlet. This week, we’re checking out Grace Park.

Grace Park in Maxim

Grace Park has been making the Sci-Fi television rounds for years, with appearances on The Dead Zone, Andromeda, Stargate SG-1, Dark Angel, Jake 2.0, and The Outer Limits. She is probably best known for her recurring role as Sharon “Boomer” Valerii on The Sci-Fi Channel’s Battlestar Galactica. Grace became even more of a household name when she made the 2006 Maxim Hot 100 list.

The photo above is from Grace Park’s revealing Maxim shoot. Check out these other pics from the Maxim spread:

Unfortunately Grace hasn’t (yet) joined her Battlestar Galactica co-star Tricia Helfer in posing nude for Playboy, so these Maxim pics will have to do for now. Here’s one more:

The Maxim site also has video from Grace Park’s photo shoot.

So what’s Grace up to these days?

She can be seen in the full-motion videos in the Electronic Arts game Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, released earlier this year. She was joined by several other big name science fiction actors, including Billy Dee Williams, Michael Ironside, Josh Holloway, and her Battlestar Galactica co-star Tricia Helfer.

Grace will also appear in Battlestar Galactica: Razor, a 2-hour BSG special scheduled to air in November 2007. Check out Grace Park’s IMDB profile to find out when you can catch her on the tube.

Former ECW Champ John Kronus Found Dead

Posted in ECW Alumni on July 19th, 2007

John Kronus, former ECW tag team champECW legend and four time ECW tag team champ John Kronus was found dead in his New Hampshire home on Wednesday. Dave Meltzer at the Wrestling Observer reported that no additional details are available at this time.

Kronus is fondly remembered by many fans of the original ECW for his tag team matches with Perry Saturn in the 1990s. Their team, The Eliminators, was best known for the Total Elimination maneuver which they used on everyone from New Jack to Sign Guy Dudley to Francine. Kronus was astonishingly agile given his size, frequently executing impressive back flips in the ring.

More details on Kronus’ wrestling career are available on Obsessed With Wrestling and Wikipedia.

Francine Fournier reacted to the news about John Kronus on her MySpace blog:

I really loved Kronus. We always got along great and I loved working with him (except when I had to take total elimination cause that really sucked). He was a funny, lovable guy who was sweet and caring. My hearts breaks right now because I only remember how goofy he was and that he always made me smile. He was a sweetheart and I’ll definitely miss him

You can see The Eliminators finishing Francine with The Total Elimination in this YouTube clip (at around the 6 minute mark):

We offer our heartfelt condolences to John Kronus’ friends and loved ones.

Shelly Martinez Returns to the Indy Scene

Posted in ECW Alumni, Indy Wrestling Scene, Lucha Libre on July 16th, 2007

Less than two months after her WWE release, Shelly Martinez is back in the ring. But forget Ariel - say hello to Vampira!

Shelly Martinez with Vampiro

The former ECW diva appeared at the LA Sports Arena on Saturday, July 14, 2007 to take part in the Full Contact Wrestling (FCW) lucha libre show. She accompanied Vampiro into the ring where they defeated Aaron “Jesus” Aguilera via disqualification.

Brandon Chow of The Wrestling Observer has more on the FCW show and Shelly had this to say on MySpace today:

Last night FCW was nuts!!!! I had a ball. Vampiro won by DQ against Aaron “Jesus” Aguilera. These two beat each other to death. I don’t know how they were both standing. They went into the crowd and fought twice, there was a table involved, and damn Aguilera hit me off the apron and attacked Vampiro and me from behind after the match was over. I made my return with FCW under the name Vampira. Keep a look out for future shows where Vampira will be hanging around the ring with Vampiro.

Nice to hear that Shelly Martinez has a regular wrestling gig lined up while she’s preparing to get Koffin Kitten launched. Also good to see that there’s life after Wrestling Society X for Vampiro, who you may remember from his WCW days.

Sci-Fi Starlet Saturday: Gigi Edgley

Posted in Women of Sci-Fi on July 14th, 2007

Gigi Edgley is the woman who made gray skin, white hair, and blue blood sexy in her role as the adventurous and seductive Chiana on the Sci-Fi Channel’s Farscape. The physical transformation Gigi underwent to film each episode is nothing short of incredible:

During her years on Farscape, Gigi Edgley developed a significant following of diehard fans who turn out in droves for her frequent science fiction convention appearances. She has several fan sites dedicated to her, and much to the delight of fans, Gigi has been featured nude in FHM and Black + White Magazine. Here are some fairly safe-for-work images from those photo shoots:

In between seasons of Farscape, Gigi filmed appearances on The Lost World and BeastMaster. Check out the Gigi Edgley IMDB entry for more info on those roles.

After the final episode of Farscape was filmed, Gigi returned to Australia to do television work. Here’s a clip of Gigi kissing actress Jacinta Stapleton on the Australian detective drama Stingers:

Gigi was recently seen on the American miniseries The Starter Wife, but fans of her science fiction work will be able to catch her the the feature film Alien vs. Alien later this year.  You can also see more of Gigi at her official site.
