Robinson, who sings the national anthem at Pioneer Valley Pro Wrestling events, used male wrestlers as models in her posters of Greek gods. She is shown at an earlier Tunxis exhibition with (left to right) Justin “The Hammer” Tunis as Dionysus , “PVP Champion” Jonny Idol as Zeus, and “Sassy Wild Horse” TK O’Ryan as Poseidon.
