Celebrity Jersey Cards #510 Special Edition: Lisa Marie Varon, SoCal Val & Mickie James

Celebrity Jersey Cards is a weekly series where I create virtual trading cards for celebrities wearing sports jerseys. Today is a Special Edition featuring Lisa Marie Varon, SoCal Val and Mickie James as the Three Faces of Foley. The homage to the Hardcore Legend Mick Foley was part of their GAW (Grown A$$ Women) TV podcast they have. The outfits are now on eBay to benefit ChristmasMagic.org.

California native Lia Marie Varon was a body builder and a fitness competitor before entering the world of pro wrestling. She held the WWE Women's championship twice, the TNA Knockouts title five times and (with Brooke Tessmacher) the TNA Knockouts Tag Team titles. For a few years, Varon owned The Squared Circle, a hugely popular restaurant in Chicago. Now retired, Varon is still active on the convention scene aqnd other public appearances. For her Mankind Celebrity Jersey Card, Varon wore the mask and even brought out Socko.
Wrestler and singer Mickie James was born in Virginia. She won the WWE Women's Championship five times, the WWE Divas title once and the Total Nonstop Action Knockouts Championship thyree times. She also has released two albums and several singles. James made the perfect Dude Love for her Celebrity Jersey Card.
SoCal Val debuted in March 2002 for the Golden State Championship Wrestling independent promotion in Anaheim, CA. She rose to fame in Total Nonstop Action as a ring girl, ring announcer and other non-wrestling roles. She donned the classic "Wanted" shirt with obligatory flannel shirt and barbed wire bat for her Mick Foley Celebrity Jersey Card.
