Kristal Marshall - IFBB Bikini Pro

This isn’t my first write up on the lovely Kristal Marshall by a long shot.
Back when she was in the WWE, I did several write up on her connected with wrestling.
But Kristal left the WWE, had a baby, and is now officially an IFBB Bikini Pro.

Kristal was born on November 11, 1983 in Los Angeles, California and you may know of her boyfriend (and the father of her baby) former collegiate amateur wrestler, former pro wrestler and mixed martial arts fighter Bobby Lashley.
(Bobby and Kristal were married in 2008, but split in April of 2010, but according to Kristal, they are still friends)

Before going to work for the WWE, Kristal competed in the 2004 Miss California pageant, she was a model for Deal or No Deal (she was the opening week model for case number five in season one) , she appeared in music videos by 50 Cent and Ma$e and was a Barker Beauty on The Price Is Right.

Kristal got into the WWE through the 2005 Raw Diva Search (she finished fourth), and the WWE liked what they saw, and Kristal was signed to a developmental contact and sent to Deep South Wrestling for training.

In December 2005, she joined the SmackDown! Roster as a backstage correspondent, but eventually made her way into the ring, having feuds with Jillian Hall, Ashley Massaro and Layla El before being released by the WWE in 2007.

She and Bobby made a few brief appearances in TNA, but nothing really came of that.


But now, as I said, Kristal is an IFBB Bikini Pro, she is looking amazing and she has done quite well for herself so far in competition....

Tracie Soder All the Right Moves

Shining before the camera as though performing on stage, fitness girl Tracie Soder inventively reaches into her athletic bag of tricks during a very entertaining Las Vegas shoot making its much anticipated video debut today on the Studio. Count this blogger among many fans thankful to be treated with this glorious Golden State hottie in hi-def.
The striking, blue-eyed blonde so cheerfully shows off her impressive muscles in pictures — check out her bicep curls, press holds and some fun displays of strength involving patio furniture — that about the only thing missing is a full routine from the “A” class shortie.
While Tracie radiates with the feminine charms evocative of a SoCal beach beauty, this Malibu-esque Muscle Barbie actually comes from rugged Northern California, where the often mountainous terrain is ideal for quad-busting hiking.
-Dean

Take Your Seat: An awkward, bulky wrought-iron patio chair is no match for Tracie's formidable power.

what type of female body do you find more attractive?

MISS FITNESS CONTESTANT
So here I am watching one of the Trump's many beauty contests and I couldn't help but move closer to the tube because each year the girls get thinner and thinner. These women are stunning in the face but they are so skinny. After 5 minutes I was craving a Krispy Kreme doughnut out of sympathy. SO I decided to give you an example of MISS UNIVERSE BODY in the first pic (note it's a year old and 5-10 pounds heavier than whats on right now) and MISS BIKINI FITNESS BODY. SO I throw it out for you to decide. What body do you as a woman aspire to be and what body do the men dream of laying in bed and eating Slim Jims with.

Fitness Model: Erica Davidson

Erica Nicole Davidson was born on June 26th, 1983.
She was a fitness competitor, but moved to figure competitions.
You know it's kinda embarrassing what with me writing this blog, but I didn't realized there was a difference between Fitness competitions and Figure competitions. However, Fitness, and Figure, are two distinct forms of competition.
Anyway, the lovely Erica is also a personal fitness trainer.

She placed 2nd at the 2002 Contra Costa Fitness competition, 3rd at the 2002 California State Fitness Championships, she got a first place win at the 2003 Contra Costa Fitness competition and 2nd place at the Figure competition, she placed 7th at the 2004 Fitness Nationals.

More The IFBB Pro Bikini Competitors

In my last Hub, The Top Ten IFBB Pro Bikini Competitors I did just that, the top ten.
So I thought I'd make a second and profile the next ten, to give you a top twenty.
Like I said in the first Hub, not everyone is crazy about the Bikini division, but with some of the figure competitors switching over, the division may be gaining more respect.
This will be the first real year of competition and it starts on March 27th, 2010.
Here are some more of the women that will be major players when competition gets under way.
Oh and by the way, I consider this "fitness" because these events are held by the IFBB, the International Federation of BodyBuilding and Fitness.
