My Top 12 CFNF fight victors of the last 50 years (1959-2009):

1. Angel Orsini [aka Angel Riptide, Angel Cruz and ECW's Prodigette] (Woman's World) -- Angel is the only traditional professional wrestler to make my CFNF wrestling top winners list. She only had two CFNF matches, but they were gems and they demonstrated her cruel side which has made her a terrific heel in pro wrestling.

Still, of all of the great honors Orsini has recieved, I would wager that this one would be the one of which she is least proud. In all of Orsini's resumes that are posted on the Internet, not one of them mentions her videotaped matches for Woman's World -- the ones where she stripped her opponents to their birthday suits and posed over their prone bare bods.

Orsini, 40, has competed in Women's Extreme Wrestling, Ohio Valley Wrestling, Extreme Championship Wrestling and other organizations worldwide.

In the early 1990s, Orsini was persuaded by lady pro wrestler Reggie Bennett to train for a professional wrestling career. Orsini trained under female wrestling great Liz Chase and male star Dusty Rhodes in Royal Palm Beach, Fla..

As a young wrestler living in Florida, Orsini undoubtedly was told by other wrestlers that a local company, Woman's World, was producing amateur fetish wrestling matches and that the firm apparently paid pretty well. Who knows, perhaps Angel needed the moeny to pay the rent and signed up to make the adult-oriented videos.

At WW, Angel scored CFNF victories over two of that company's top women rasslers, Rachel and Jill Monroe.
Video footage of Angel's humiliating victory over Jill was long posted on You Tube despite the risque ending where Angel, in a red one-piece suit, stripped Jill of her blue bikini after winning a five-fall encounter. Orsini had applied a bear hug so tight it caused Jill to pass out and Angel stripped her. Although Jill was naked, she was on her stomach and you couldn't really see anything except a side view of her butt. However, eventually that scene was flagged as improper content and removed from the general You Tube viewing.

Rachel was not so lucky when it came to nudity modesty. Rachel was flat on her back and naked when Angel applied a double claw hold to Rachel's lower belly to wake her up and make her verbally submit. After a thoroughly humiliated Rachel passed out again, Angel proclaimed to the camera: "Only the strong survive! Only the strong survive!" as she posed over her opponent.

A short time later, Angel suddenly disappeared from the fetish wrestling scene and, by October 1996, was making her debut in the legitimate pro ring, facing Joannie Lee Lauer (formerly Chyna from WWE) in Ormond Beach, Fla.
Angel on her MySpace.com page wrote that her worst career loss was to Chyna, while her greatest victory was over Luna Vachon.

In 1997, Angel won the Sunshine Wrestling Federation championship, defeating Vachon. Orsini also defeated her trainer Liz Chase for the Florida Championship Wrestling and Ultimate Wrestling Federation titles.

In the late 1990s, Angel took up mixed martial arts and bodybuilding, winning titles in both. In the last decade, Orsisi began wrestling internationally and eventually moved to Europe for a while, where she won a world lightweight wrestling title in Belgium.

In 2002, Orsini won the PGWA championship from Susan Green.

In recent years, Orsini has overcome numerous injuries while working on the independents circuit. She joined Women Superstars Uncensored in 2008. That May, she defeated Nikki Roxx in Rahway, NJ, to win the WSU women's championship.In April of last year, Orsini defeated Annie Social, Trixxie Lynn and Rain in Bergenfield, NJ, to win the WSU Women's J-Cup Tournament.
