Lily Ellison vs. Gemma Traumaward Signed for End of Days


By: PRWrestling.com

It’s official, PRW’s own Self-Crowned & Self-Professed Champion & Savior of Women’s Wrestling, “The Modern Day Moolah" Lily Ellison will now be competing against “The Neko Girl” Gemma Traumaward in the latter’s broadcast PPV debut. We watched a heated confrontation between the two at a live event earlier in the week and now that the ink is dry on the contract we can proudly announce the latest addition to an already stacked card for Sunday’s End of Days.

Just like last month’s Bloodletting Ellison will be putting her non-recognized women’s championship on the line against Traumaward, who deeply got under Ellison’s skin by calling into question the legitimacy of her title. And while so far we’ve watched “The Modern Day Moolah” dispatch her competitors with brutal fashion, Traumaward, in many observers’ opinion, may be the first to present a real challenge to the wrestling royalty.

It’s true Gemma Traumaward doesn’t have the best record in PRW from her appearances at live events and internet-PPV’s, but recently the Legacy contracted wrestler has stepped up her game and even scored a hard fought disqualification victory over five time PRW Women’s Champion Sherri Taylor. For her this broadcast PPV debut (she has appeared before, once as an audience member and again as a valet for Sylvia Wrath) represents a real chance to cement her status in the PRW, the world’s #1 pro wrestling organization, and catapult her career.

This match will also give her a chance to silence her critics, chief among them Lily Ellison, who don’t believe that she is a serious enough competitor to belong in the big leagues.

Well as they say there’s only one way to find out, and that’s by ordering End of Days this Sunday night only on Pay-Per-View!

So Just Who is Gemma Traumaward Anyway?


By: PRWDirtsheets.com

As I’m sure you’ve heard by now PRW has added women’s wrestling militant Lily Ellison vs. Sylvia Wrath’s accomplice Gemma Traumaward to Sunday’s End of Days lineup. But I bet you haven’t heard how difficult it was to sign.

Traumaward is under contract to Legacy Wrestling (which unsurprisingly is going through organizational issues ATM) and in the past has wrestled in PRW under permission, with Legacy getting 5% of her pay. But because she’ll be wrestling on the big stage, televised pay-per-view, her home office now wants a bigger piece of the money pie. Legacy recently underwent a change of management and their nefarious new authority figure (who is somehow *more* nefarious than the guy he replaced) demanded a bigger payout from the global PRW to use Traumaward on the PPV. Our inside source tells us the negotiations were tough (and at times childish), but were ultimately settled after friend Sylvia Wrath volunteered to cover the difference in pay that PRW (specifically Ace Andrews we’re told) refused to cough up.

But wait hold on a minute, let’s back up…

Let’s say you’re a casual PRW fan who doesn’t follow the B-show results, doesn’t bother with the gimmicky iPPV’s, and doesn’t watch weird and niche indy wrestling. This Sunday will be your first impression of Gemma Traumaward as anything more than the Bruiser Cutie’s cuter sidekick. So who is this “Neko Girl” anyway you ask?


Where she comes from:

Traumaward (real name unknown) was a high school classmate and best friend of Sylvia Wrath back in Austin Texas, and after a brief life in some kind of “motorcycle gang” (the details of which are very sketchy) she and Wrath entered the world of professional wrestling. After almost three years on the independent circuit together the two were scouted by PRW agents and given a tryout, but only Sylvia Wrath was signed. Gemma has said in interviews that while she was disappointed about not being picked up she told Sylvia to take the contract, saying “go ahead, I’ll catch up soon.”

Nearly one year later Traumaward made her PRW debut as a fallgirl in the inaugural Lioness Cup tournament’s group stage, picking up only one win (over Bella Quinn of all people) from all events. A short bit later and she was signed to Las Vegas based (later NYC) Legacy Wrestling, which comes from and inevitably carried on a wrestling dynasty that defines the terms “cult” and “indie sleaze” like no other. There she gained attention through her wrestling and “no-prob” personality, and in June returned to PRW for job duty on their special Summer Carnival event.

Her last PRW matches all took place on iPPV this fall, on job duty again but looking convincing against Sherri Taylor, putting up a very strong but ultimately futile effort against Sherri Taylor’s team in an elimination tag, and most recently getting her first big win asterisk’d when Jenna Jett interfered on her to save Sherri Taylor from tapping out. It’s been a pretty lengthy “rolling out phase” for her, even by PRW standards, but it seems she finally has enough steam to make it onto the ‘real deal,’ pay-per-view.


What she’s about:

Don’t expect to see Gemma bringing the bombs and knock out power and wannabe Fighting Spirit~!* on Sunday like Wrath would, Traumaward fancies herself something of a technical wunderkind and will most likely try to outwrestle the granddaughter of the legendary Fabulous Moolah (we’ll have to see how well that works out for her). Taking influence from the highly technical British “escape-ology,” the graceful art of Mexican lucha libre, and the high intensity of joshi puroresu, Traumaward tries to bring a hybrid style of wrestling to the ring using the best technique for whatever situation she finds herself in.

Of course in pro wrestling there are good guys and bad guys, “face-turns” and “heel-turns” when a grappler has a change of heart. In this hyper reality though, where might-makes-right always and karma usually comes in the form of a cold hard steel chair to the face, it’s rare that you find a wrestler who keeps cool and for the most part stays on the high road of a conflict. If you know anything at all about Traumaward in Legacy then it’s probably how she’s attempted not to get dragged down into a blood feud by her betrayed high school friend. She tried her best to keep her two iPPV matches against the vicious Blackcat Meiko as technical as can be, losing the first match and winning the second, a brutal Dog Collar match, but only after succumbing to the heat of the moment and using the steel chain as a weapon.

Recently in PRW Traumaward began turning her luck around by bringing more intensity to her matches, notably bringing the fire to Sherri Taylor in a return match from an earlier contest. It’s that lack of intensity, some believe, that led to her picking up a string of L’s for most of her PRW dates, and it may come down to just that as the deciding factor this Sunday.

There’re many different reasons why wrestlers do what they do and how they approach their sport; some cynically for money & fame, some proudly for glory and the love of it, some like Terry Bukowski for the simple joy of brutalizing his fellow man (& woman as we’ve seen), and Traumaward from what we can gather wrestles ‘for the fun of it.’ An oddball and a kidder at times her playful spirit in the ring as earned her a fan base and a foot in the door of the PRW, but has probably cost her a number of matches she otherwise might’ve one with more killer instinct. We know that her opponent Lily Ellison has that killer instinct in spades, and wrestles for the higher calling of carrying on her grandma’s legacy and, in her view at least, carries the future of ladies grappling all on her shoulders.

Ellison’s means and motives are clear, so we’ll just have to watch and see if her personal jabs and a potential permanent spot on the roster is enough to motivate Traumaward to perform at her full potential, which she’ll need all of against the big & dangerous thoroughbred Ellison.



And I know we on this site are not flag waving supporters of Title IX or hard-line feminists, far from it, but we still feel the need to say that when you watch her match please do not just stare mindlessly at the small exposed strip of Gemma’s thighs between her socks and skirt, you just might miss an alright wrestling match.
