It wouldn’t be Besa Gordon’s birthday week without professional wrestling. That’s why we’re throwing it back to when she was the ring announcer at the DEFY Wrestling WC Spirit event earlier this year. Filling the Central District’s Washington Hall with kicks, punches, and electricity, the event showcased the strength and spirit of women in wrestling, and their skills as athletes and entertainers. 

Featuring wrestlers Allie Katch, Tara Zep, and Nicole Matthews, the event highlighted the special connection between the wrestlers and their devoted fans. Matthews shared her thoughts on the future of women's wrestling, believing that the equality in the sport will eventually be so evident that there will no longer be a need to highlight the women because “they're just as good as the guys."

Gordon praised the wrestlers and enthusiastically thanked DEFY for the opportunity to shine in the ring. Her love of the sport was undeniable, saying she hopes to do it again in the future. You hear that DEFY? Now you know who to call.
