Erica Leigh Enters Women’s Super 8
The tournament takes place July 31.
The Wrestling Estate has learned the seventh name slated for the 2021 ECWA Women’s Super 8.
Erica Leigh is scheduled for the one-night tournament on July 31 at The Monster Factory in Paulsboro, NJ. She’ll join Gabby Ortiz, Ashley D’Amboise, Vicious Vicki, Kaia McKenna, Tina San Antonio and Adena Steele.
The Richmond, VA native has more nicknames than a mafia hitman: “That 90’s Chick,” “The Technicolor Technico,” “The Gummibear Kid,” to name a few. Her fun-loving personality is sure to be a hit with the family-filled ECWA crowd, so don’t be surprised to hear chants of “Please Come Back.” If we’re lucky, maybe Erica Leigh will grace us with more of her explosive presence.
“The ECWA Super 8 has a long, star-studded history,” Erica Leigh told The Wrestling Estate. “And while the women’s tournament is a younger tradition, the weight of the company is still behind it. I could never be anyone but me no matter where I go, and I’m looking forward to turning this prestigious event into the Pooper 8. Erica Leigh is prepared to entertain the fans and bring home the trophy. Honk.”
The ECWA Women’s Super 8 (originally called the Super 8 ChickFight) began in 2014 as an extension of the historic Super 8, the longest-running pro wrestling tournament in the United States. Similar to the men’s version, the women’s tournament has become a launching pad for undiscovered, up-and-coming talents to get noticed throughout the industry. Tessa Blanchard, the first winner, and Deonna Purrazzo, the only back-to-back winner, have gone on to Impact Wrestling, and McKay has been signed by Ring of Honor. Previous participants have included Britt Baker, Kiera Hogan, Maria Manic, Santana Garrett, among other notable names.
“We missed 2018 and 2020 with COVID, but we are back on track for the sixth edition,” says ECWA owner Joe Zanolle. “We just celebrated the 25th edition for the men and we are looking forward to building that long legacy with the women. Look at the talent of the first five Women’s Super 8s. That is the quality and young talent you will see this year. We are so glad to showcase these women competitors who work just as hard as the men. And you will not be seeing Divas, but trained and skilled professional wrestlers and athletes.”
The commentary team for this year’s ECWA Women’s Super 8 will be Brady Hicks and A Very Good Professional Wrestler, winner of the 2020 Super 8. The event will stream live on IWTV and a limited number of tickets are available now.
