American Roller Derby - Reinvented with wrestlin

The Summer Scorcher 2000 unveils a whole new roller derby

The wrestling and American Roller Derby League rolled into Union City California on August 12th proving once and for all the two sports are completely unlike each other in one thousand and one different ways. If you missed the well promoted event, you missed a historical opportunity.

Under the bright glow of outdoor stadium lights and a full moon, the setting was brilliant, colorful and sparkled with magic. The American Roller Derby League has never looked sharper, classier or more professional.

The league presented its all new look for the future featuring many new, young and energetic athletes mixed with the most capable superstars of the original Roller Derby® and RollerGames®. It was a night that was well rooted in the history of the sport as well as positioned for the future.

The league also surprised the crowd and cameras with the appearance of the new power jammers on Inline skates. The fans loved the action and yelled their approval of the new speed and style that the Inline Jammers brought to the traditional game.

The track and wrestling ring were set side by side instead of the original plan to place the ring inside the banked track. The spectacle was bigger than life and was a once in a lifetime experience.

When the Bay City Bombers won the game, a youthful wrestling audience showed its obvious appreciation with hands high in the air. They supported and embraced the Retro-roller derby game.

On hand were the most famous stars known in the skating world including Mark DAmato, the man responsible for the popularity of the derby styled TV show named RollerJam.
