Oh wow, such a good time! I love AmberconNW so much! The gaming, the socializing, the drinking, the conversation. And the Edgefield added a big long soaking pool. It was amazing.

This NEVER happened with WWE or WCW. Not with Chyna, and especially not with any of… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #62.5 – One More Thing on Women Wrestlers in TNA.
