In the ultra-macho, predominantly male world of pro wrestling, Mariah Moreno certainly stands out—even at only 5'9" and 140 pounds.

Moreno is, perhaps, the only out transgender pro wrestler in the world, although now she is just making her name—"Amanda, The Bloodthirsty Vixen"—competing in small regional, domestic promotions, often in front of sparse crowds.

Each to their own I spose, but considering the effort, expense and sheer bloody torture of looking even halfway decent, I won't be letting anyone hit me in the face with a chair!!!! :o :laugh:

Maybe she should take on Donna Rose.  Rose, a high school state champ, won first place in the Chicago Gay Games a couple years back.  Then again, real wrestling is nothing like pro wrestling.  They don't allow garbage cans and metal chairs in the ring.  :D
