Hi JQ, I just got hold of an old Amazon in Action magazine from Spring 1999 which has a review for a couple of Tina fights APL66 & APL67 which must have been released in early 1999. This suggests that the dates that we have for the APL fights on Tina's page (APL 80s and 90s) should probably dated more like 2000. I will update the page with that date and add the fights that are reviewed in the magazine. Hope that's okay with you. Merlin

Hi Merlin, absolutely fine by me! In fact I think 1999 is true for the APL083/086/096 matches as well - they don't have a date clearly showing when the matches were staged, but they do show Tina as being aged 30 which would correspond with her 1968 DOB. I had entered a provisional date of 2000/2001 but this seems wrong now I look more closely. Do you want to amend these dates as well? Good to see you involved again with the project incidentally!

Hi JQ, It has been quite a while since I have done anything on the site, but I have been jogged into action after buying that "new" edition of the Amazons in Action magazine. I have updated the Tina page to show the 83-86 series as 2000? and the 96-103 as 2001? I think APL would have probably have set Tina's age as 30 from the APL66 & 67 fights when she would have been 30. Those fights might well have been some of the last topless fights that Tina had. It is a pity that they aren't still available!

Hi Merlin, those APL matches were available via Rockin-Roxanne at one time though not through their "regular" catalogue - I was able to negotiate a price with her. Given they were produced around the year 2000 I must admit they are of fairly moderate quality although the actual wrestling is excellent and I think, as per the APL FAQ section, that they were removed from their site for quality reasons.

Going back to your AiA magazine, would you be able to add scans of the relevant pages to the Tina entry alongside the Festelle / CW / VS ones you have already done? This kind of info is very hard to find and would be ideal source material!

Regards, JQ

Hi JQ I'll do that tomorrow and I take a look for the other Tina articles that you might be interested in. Have you seen the AiA extract I put up on the APL page about the launch of organisation? Merlin

Hi Merlin, yes I did - as I see it the main purpose of the site is to collect exactly this kind of useful background info, and to display it in an easily accessible format.

Look forward to your other contributions. JQ
