Very impressive wouldn’t you agree?
At the respected industry site cagematch.net, the fans love her and love to praise her in the international language of love.
Here are three love songs.
“The best female wrestler in France! Shanna is awesome! She’s strong, charismatic, fast, and has great technical skills.”
“Fantastic worker with great personality and tremendous talent in every aspect of the business. Every time I see Shanna she’s improved. Deserves far more attention, would love to see her back in Shimmer or appear as a Gaijin in Stardom. Looking forward to her undoubtedly bright future!”
“Impressive in the ring and a great talent. Should do well on any roster including a major promotion like WWE.”
We are very impressed too. Could it be we’re falling in love?
This impels us to visit the beautiful city that helped shape. Time to book our international flight.
Lisbon is the capital and the largest city of Portugal, with a population of 552,700.
Its urban area extends beyond the city’s administrative limits with a population of around 2.7 million people, being the 11th-most populous urban area in the European Union.
It is continental Europe‘s westernmost capital city and the only one along the Atlantic coast.
Lisbon is recognized as an alpha- level global city by the Globalization and World Cities Study Group because of its importance in finance, commerce, media, entertainment, arts, international trade, education and tourism.
Filled with sites of wonder, Lisbon is the 7th-most-visited city in Southern Europe, after Istanbul, Rome, Barcelona, Madrid, Athens and Milan, with 1,740,000 tourists in 2009.
Lisbon enjoys a Mediterranean climate. It has one of the warmest winters of any metropolis in Europe.
If you were ever on the fence about visiting one of the world’s oldest and most historic cities, the international love found at the premiere travel group Lonely Planet should convince.
They share their experience. “Lisbon’s trademark seven hills are peppered across the cityscape like lofty guardians of color and history. Capped by a collection of terraces known as miradouros (viewpoints), a must-see web of no-filter-necessary views over Lisbon, the Tejo and beyond is formed.
The absence of open-container laws and cheap booze means Lisbon loves a night on the town!
Dining in Lisbon is far more dynamic than navigating countless preparations of Portugal‘s beloved bacalhau (dried and salted cod fish; 365 recipes and counting!). While bacalhau à Brás (shredded cod with onions, eggs and potatoes; a Bairro Alto original) is never far, Lisbon’s strategic seaside position on Europe‘s doorstep means a bounty of fresh seafood (octopus, tuna, monkfish, shrimp, sardines, clams, snails) rules the city’s kitchens, from Michelin-starred restaurants to gourmet-food markets to countless corner tascas (taverns).”
“Food culture is like listening to the Beatles – it’s international, it’s very positive, it’s inventive and creative.”…Alice Waters
Yummy. Sounds memorable and delicious.
Just like Shanna.
Watching her compete has fulfilled many of our fantasies and has been a dream come true.
For her, wrestling on the big stage is a dream come true as well.
In her interview with the entertaining site artofwrestling.cz, when asked how she got into the wrestling business our shapely beauty replied, “This is a funny and ironic story, I didn´t dream I would ever become a wrestler. I applied to an intensive summer course with Wrestling Portugal Academy, at that time I was interested on the physical side of it because I love challenges and by the end of it, I found out that I couldn´t live without wrestling anymore, that I wanted to show my athletic ability under a spotlight and entertain people with it. That’s when I decided to take it more seriously and a couple of years later I was doing my first pro match in France.”
Are we not entertained?
When it comes to an Indie Star like Shanna who combines sex appeal, athleticism, charisma and show stopping performances, we and an international audience will always be entertained.
2023 UPDATE
As reported by thesportster.com, “After competing for World Wonder Ring Stardom and a one-off appearance for Impact Wrestling, she found her way to AEW in 2019.
She signed a 3-year contract with the company and made her debut on the October 30, 2019, episode of Dynamite, losing to Hikaru Shida. She became a regular on AEW Dark and Dark Elevation and continued to perform for AEW until the company chose not to renew her contract in June 2021. She then returned to the European independent circuit, where she continues to perform to this date.”
On the European independent circuit, indeed.
Shanna is a special talent and we hope to see her make a comeback with a large promotion in the United States.
The intrigue of life.
How important the moments and the present are because everything is subject to change.
We wish Shanna the best.
