Only fitting that the Monsters retain in a tag battle royal on a Halloween themed show. I've always had a hard time writing battle royals, so I'm impressed with your easy to read write up. Well done.

Starr beats Chase in a good seasons match.

Pardue starts off strong but Winnona finds her groove to retain. The aggressiveness at the beginning shows the importance of the TV title.

Richter vs. Misty Blue is a solid match up. Going for the US title really elevates it. Once again, Richter is holding gold, but she had to earn it.

I've really enjoyed the subtle build to the Medusa/Velvet main event. They give the fans a competitive and clean match until Medusa pulls out a slight heel move to retain. You've got a great story going here and I believe there's a lot more to tell.

Really fun card!

Medusa Miceli & Velvet McIntyre & Babyface Nellie versus Wendi Richter & Rhonda Singh & Reggie Bennett for the WWW Trios Championship

We open hot this week, with Leilani Kai taking on Winona Little Heart for the television title. The commentators mention that the champ technically already has the right to challenge for the US title, and is risking that right by defending her belt here tonight.

These two women are familiar with one another and it makes for a tense early round, with counters and reversals galore. We get some faction warfare at ringside, naturally, but as we get to the finish it’s obvious that Winona Little Heart is currently in another league than her opponent.

Winona Little Heart defeats Leilani Kai in 10:55 by pinfall with a victory roll in a Season Match to retain the WWW Television Championship

We then get a brief recap of last week’s events before moving on to the interviews. The Glamour Girls are outraged, as ever, and demand an end to the constant “outside interference” of the Giant Slayers. For their part, the Giant Slayers claim that good things are surely coming their way, and that Winona Little Heart will be the world champion in “no time”, which prompts her to announce, with clear trepidation, that she will be facing Wendi Richter next week

A commercial break then brings us through to our second match of the night, with Goldie Ray facing off against Candi Devine. Both wrestlers have their partners at ringside, but Trudy Adams is not prepared for just how devious Peggy Lee Leather is, which sets a tone for the match.

At every turn, though she puts up a good fight, Goldie Ray is undermined, interfered with, and peppered with cheap shots. Candi Devine is, frankly, merciless and ends things at her own pace.

Candi Devine defeats Goldie Ray in 08:02 by pinfall after a facebuster in a Season Match

A hype package for the main event then plays before we get to the interviews. Goldie Ray is cheered up somewhat by Trudy Adams and both women complain about the level of rule-breaking in the match. Candi Devine and Peggy Lee Leather cackle their way through their own interview, and say they’ll help each other get to the top, casting aspersions on their old partners.

Another commercial break then takes us to a match between Debbie Combs and Princess Delta Dawn. The narrative here is quite simple, and gets established quickly. Princess Delta Dawn has an advantage in terms of size and strength, and a partner at ringside to help her out but Debbie Combs is far and away the superior wrestler.

It takes a while but, eventually, Debbie Combs brings the fight to a conclusion entirely on her own terms and Princess Delta Dawn can only delay the inevitable.

Debbie Combs defeats Princess Delta Dawn in 09:23 by pinfall after a neckbreaker in a Season Match

After a promotional video, heavily featuring Medusa Miceli and Wendi Richter, we get to the interviews. Princess Delta Dawn has a shouty rant, struggling to explain her loss. By contrast, Debbie Combs is subdued and speculates that she may be stuck in a rut.

After another commercial break, we arrive at a match between KC Houston and Mad Maxine. The latter slides easily into the babyface role for the duration, whereas KC Houston throws everything she has at her opponent, including any nasty tactics she can think of. Mad Maxine takes it all in stride and the result is a highly choreographed squash, with big slams and strikes galore.

Mad Maxine defeats KC Houston in 11:02 by pinfall after a vertical suplex in a Season Match

A music video for Lisa Moretti then plays before we get to the next set of interviews. KC Houston chalks her loss up to her opponent’s experience as a part of the old Monsters faction, whereas Mad Maxine says she believes she is ready for a title opportunity.

Another commercial then brings us through to our main event. This is a chaotic brawl from start to finish with only the slightest attention paid to the rules. The first half is a very even back-and-forth but after the commercial break, it begins to swing heavily in favour of the faces.

We get something of a showcase for each of the champions, as the heels lose control of the match.

We end on a shot of the happy champions, with their arms around one another.

[Autistic Dragon]

Little Heart retains over Kai but is she ready for Richter? She doesn't sound confident.

Promising start to the partnership of Devine & Leather.

Combs dethrones the Princess.

Maxine seems to have found her footing.

Looks like Medusa & McIntyre are still cool as they come together with Nellie to retain the Trios titles.

[LowBlowPodcast]

Mad Maxine is someone to keep an eye on. I think she's ready for the title as well. Great Trios main event... these women are showcasing their talents in our world of wrestling in a big way. We need to talk about bringing them back to Chicago.

[spaldoni]

Winnona has had an amazing TV title reign. Beating Kai defiantly gets her ready for Richter. 

It's good to see the vets like Devine and Combs getting wins and staying in the hunt. 

Maxine is getting some shine and I agree, she might be ready for a title shot. 

6 top stars in the main event. Can't go wrong with that. Babyfaces stand tall to end the show on a high note. Richter probably won't be in a good mood and that might be trouble for Winnona next week. 

[kevinmcfl]

I agree with all the other comments in that Mad Maxine might be ready for the big time.  She has it all and could make your top division even deeper.

Advertised Match:

Wendi Richter versus Winona Little Heart for the NWA United States Women’s Championship

We open hot this week, with a war for the vacant television title, raging between Lisa Moretti and Velvet McIntyre. Both women go hell-for-leather here, as the commentators speculate feverishly on their prospects. The violence continues through the commercial break, after which we get some brawling on the outside and a close call that almost ends in a double count out.

In the end, try as she might, Velvet McIntyre just can’t seem to put her opponent away. Lisa Moretti, on the other hand, waits for her opportunity to strike and executes a form-perfect finish manoeuvre.

Lisa Moretti defeats Velvet McIntyre in 25:49 by pinfall after a powerslam in a Season Match to win the WWW Television Championship

A hype package for the main event, centring on the legacy of the US title, then plays us through to the first set of interviews.

A fretful Velvet McIntyre is consoled by her friend, the world champ, and suggests that she simply needs time to process her failure to capture the world title. Lisa Moretti gives an animated near-rant talking about how easily she’ll knock down her competition on the road to a match with Medusa Miceli.

A commercial break then takes us to our second match, a fast-paced season match between Lady Apache and Malia Hosaka. With Vicky Carranza and Princess Delta Dawn in their respective partners’ corners, we get plenty of brawling and crowd interaction but the result is more or less inevitable and the match serves as a showcase for Lady Apache.

Lady Apache defeats Malia Hosaka in 11:03 by submission with a chicken wing in a Season Match

An advertisement for the merchandise catalogue then plays before we head to the interviews. Malia Hosaka and Princess Delta Dawn feed into each other’s aggression and give a joint shouty rant. Lady Apache talks briefly about her prospects of getting back into title contention but admits that she would be apprehensive about facing Lisa Moretti.

After another commercial break, we get to our third match of the night, this one sees Rockin’ Robin facing the daunting challenge of taking on Medusa Miceli in a non-title match.

The world champion goes easy on her opponent at first, leading to a brief bit of back-and-forth, but eventually she hardens up and brings things to a close.

Medusa Miceli defeats Rockin’ Robin in 08:34 by pinfall after a German suplex in a Season Match and the NWA World Women’s Championship does not change hands

We get a music video promoting Wendi Richter then plays, and we go to the interviews. The Star Girls talk the world champion up, before discussing the main event and each given a different predicted winner. Medusa Miceli, for her part, remains humble during her interview and implies that Rockin’ Robin stood a chance of beating her.

We arrive at our main event, after another commercial break, and Wendi Richter milks her grand entrance, as she typically likes to do, adding to Winona Little Heart’s visible trepidation.

The fight starts slowly, with a feeling out process, and we get a decent amount of chain wrestling without any cheap tricks. That changes after the commercial break, however, as the champ becomes fed up with her lack of progress and begins to take liberties.

The Giant Slayers, arrayed around the ring, try their best to prevent the worst of the champ’s abuses but they’re unwilling to become too involved or break the rules themselves.

The finish comes when an attempt at a victory roll by the challenger is turned seamlessly into the champion’s signature move.

Wendi Richter defeats Winona Little Heart in 28:57 by pinfall after a powerbomb to retain the NWA United States Women’s Championship

We end on a shot of the champion, looking positively bloodthirsty and taunting the crowd.

[Autistic Dragon]

Moretti takes her first step back to the world title.

Apache gets the win but is hesitant to claim a title shot.

Robin gets a bit of shine from the world champion.

Even with her friends providing moral support, Little Heart couldn't dethrone Richter.

[spaldoni]

Action right off the bat with main eventers Moretti and Velvet going at it for the TV title. Moretti always finds a way to stay at the top. 

The interviews, merchandise selling and hype packages have helped make your shows top notch and crisp.

Apache might have something with the chickenwing. This could really up her game. 

Robin gets her chance to shine with the world champ. Even Medusa gave her credit. But man, Medusa looked great here.

It takes guts to relinquish a title for a chance at a higher tier. Winnona takes Richter to the limits but Richter is just too damn good and prevails. 

Your shows are really clicking. Great job! 

[Scarlet-Left]

Wonder Women of Wrestling – Episode No. CIII – 16th of November 1987 – Airing Live! – Las Vegas, Nevada

Advertised Match:

Lisa Moretti versus Debbie Combs for the WWW Television Championship

With the television title match moved to the main event, we open this week with a brief discussion panel at the commentary desk, going over the card and the action of the past few weeks. Afterwards, we get a heel programme with Penny Mitchell taking on Reggie Bennett.

Reggie Bennett has the power advantage but Penny Mitchell fights like an animal, clawing and spitting and stomping. They’re both in a fairly sorry state before we get to the finish but it’s the Monster who kicks things into high gear and brutalises her opponent with her signature move.

Reggie Bennett defeats Penny Mitchell in 10:32 by pinfall after a sitout powerbomb in a Season Match

After a hype package for the main event, we move onto the interviews. Penny Mitchell rants and raves about interference from Rhonda Singh - although she actually played very little role in the match - before concluding that it’s the fault of her former partners for each “bailing” on her in turn.

The Monsters have a more upbeat interview than their usual fare and promise to end the year as the most dominant women in the company.

A commercial break then takes us to our second season match.

The Giant Slayers are spread all around the ring for this match between Selina Majors and Luna Vachon.Whilst the fight is clean and technical, it is not particularly friendly as both women feel the need to prove their worth to their friends. The contest is fierce and fast-paced, and the momentum swings between the participants regularly. In the end, Selina Majors has no counter for Luna Vachon’s signature move.

Luna Vachon defeats Selina Majors in 09:12 by pinfall after a moonsault in a Season Match

A music video, promoting all of the company’s incumbent champions then plays, with new photoshoot footage, before we get to the next set of interviews.

Luna Vachon and Selina Majors share their interview, along with the rest of the Giant Slayers who praise both women. We get a hug between the two to show that there are no hard feelings.

With the rest of the Glamour Girls in her corner, Despina Montagas faces off against Heidi Lee Morgan. With Misty Blue Simmes backing her up, Heidi Lee Morgan has some much needed moral support and is saved from the worst of the Glamour Girls’ interference, however she is not prepared for just how vicious Despina Montagas is willing to be.

The result is a fairly one-sided affair as Heidi Lee Morgan gets a few good hits in here and there but struggles under the sustained pressure of a relentless assault from Despina Montagas.

Despina Montagas defeats Heidi Lee Morgan in 12:46 by pinfall after a piledriver in a Season Match

A music video then serves as a transition to the interviews.

Misty Blue Simmes consoles her friend before, politely, suggesting that the company should punish outside interference more harshly. The Glamour Girls, for their part, are beside themselves, cackling with glee, and run down all of the roster’s prominent babyfaces.

Another commercial then brings us through to an eight woman tag match with Lady Apache, Vicky Carranza and the Star Girls taking on Brittany Brown, Ashly Kennedy and the Nasty Girls. From the very beginning, this is a fast-paced and fun brawl, with the teams roughly evenly matched.

Everyone gets at least a little bit of time to shine and each team gets to pull off a big coordinated tag team manoeuvre. In the end, it could go either way, and is really only decided by who happens to be in the ring when the first signs of tiredness appear.

Rockin’ Robin & Jamie West & Lady Apache & Vicky Carranza defeat Linda Dallas & Kat LeRoux & Brittany Brown & Ashly Kennedy in 14:04 when Rockin’ Robin pins Ashly Kennedy after a bulldog

Another hype package for the main event then plays before we head to the interviews. The two heel teams almost come to blows and generally blame each other for their defeat. Meanwhile, the babyface teams praise one another and say they’re looking forward to facing each other next week.

Another commercial break then brings us to our main event. Whilst both women get a full entrance, they choose to keep it simple and rush down to the ring. This sets the tone for the match, which is fast-paced and all-business, becoming increasingly violent and leaving both women covered in sweat by the time we get through a commercial break.

Debbie Combs does not slip back into her old heel ways but she definitely shows off a vicious streak, only matched by Lisa Moretti’s own descent into savagery in order to keep a firm hold on her championship belt.

Lisa Moretti defeats Debbie Combs in 25:57 by pinfall after a powerslam to retain the WWW Television Championship

We end on a shot of the champion, gasping for breath and she straddles the corner post with her title draped over her shoulder.

[Autistic Dragon]

Bennett is too much of a Monster for Mitchell to handle.

Vachon wins a friendly bout with Majors.

Morgan was just outmatched against Montages.

Apache/Carranza & the Star Girls worked well tonight but let's see if the good vibes continue next week. I'm guessing there's a title shot on the line.

Moretti & Combs have another classic with Lisa taking another step to a shot at the world title.

[spaldoni]

Bennett gets the win and Mitchell places the blame on everybody else. 

Luna's stock is on the rise. I think 88 will be her breakout year. 

Montagas puts a piledriving stamp on Morgan. 

Exciting 8 woman tag that defiantly kept the viewers from switching channels. Loved the differences in the post match interviews LOL. 

Moretti retains against a game Combs. Smart booking moving this one to the main event slot.

Wonder Women of Wrestling – Episode No. CIV – 23rd of November 1987 – Airing Live! – Las Vegas, Nevada

Advertised Match:

Wendi Richter versus Babyface Nellie for the NWA United States Women’s Championship

We open hot this week, with war raging over the television title, with Lisa Moretti facing Rhonda Singh. The two women brawl in and out of the ring, getting close to a count-out or double DQ finish at various points. During the chaos, the commentators manage to run down the rest of the card before we get to our first commercial break.

The second part of the match features both women fading but Lisa Moretti firmly in the driver’s seat. Rhonda Singh is able to throw her weight around and get a few big slams in but she is consistently outwrestled by her opponent. The finish sees her run towards the champ, in a well rehearsed spot, before having her momentum turned against her.

Lisa Moretti defeats Rhonda Singh in 23:55 by pinfall after a powerslam to retain the WWW Television Championship

A look at the season standings so far, then takes us through to the interviews. Rhonda Singh is banged up and out of breath, but still manages to shout a few insults here and there. Lisa Moretti says she’s ready to challenge for the US title, and predicts that Wendi Richter will still be her opponent after tonight’s main event is said and done.

When we return from the following commercial break, we have Kat LeRoux taking on Peggy Lee Leather. With Linda Dallas and Candi Devine in their respective corners, this heel affair is a competition in rule-breaking and dirty tactics from start to finish, at times developing an almost playful tone.

In the end, it comes down to the wire, but the Nasty Girls are just a little more well-oiled as a team.

Kat LeRoux defeats Peggy Lee Leather in 12:03 by pinfall after a leg drop in a Season Match

A promotional music video focused on the tag team division then plays, and we head over to the interviews. Peggy Lee Leather and Candi Devine insist that their opponents only won because of their cheating, struggling to contain their own laughter when called out for their own behaviour. The Nasty Girls insist that they are the backbone of the tag division and simply need the opportunity to prove it in a match for the championship.

A commercial then brings us to a tag team bout, with the Star Girls taking on Lady Apache and Vicky Carranza.

This match is a strong contrast to the one that came before, with an emphasis on clean technical wrestling. We get a lot of tags in and out and a few high spots but, eventually, the Star Girls kick things into high gear and display a remarkable level of coordination.

Rockin’ Robin & Jamie West defeat Lady Apache & Vicky Carranza in 13:37 when Rockin’ Robin pins Vicky Carranza after a bulldog

A hype package for the main event then brings us through to the interviews. Lady Apache and Vicky Carranza console themselves before the Star Girls come onto the scene to show that there are no hard feelings.

Another commercial then takes us to our main event. We open with familiar scenes, as Babyface Nellie paces nervously up and down the ring waiting for Wendi Richter to be finished with her grand entrance.

We subsequently launch into a fierce back-and-forth as the challenger gives it everything she’s got and the champ is caught off-guard. As the match wears on, however, and the champion successfully manages to turn it into a brawl, it becomes more and more one-sided.

After the commercial break, things are firmly in Wendi Richter's hands. Babyface Nellie kicks out of a powerbomb, to her credit, but misses each one of her attempts at a running knee drop. In the end, the champ makes sure her last move is decisive.

Wendi Richter defeats Babyface Nellie in 28:49 by pinfall after a super powerbomb to retain the NWA United States Women’s Championship

We end with Wendi Richter talking to the camera, saying she knows Lisa Moretti can’t beat her. She isn’t worried.

[Autistic Dragon]

Moretti survives Singh and sets her sights on the US title.

LeRoux out-cheats Leather.

Big win for the Star Girls.

Richter retains over Nellie and says she isn't sweating Moretti.

[LowBlowPodcast]

Richter with a huge win and retention of her title... but now with Lisa as the next in line... I feel like her luck may change.  Lisa's win over Rhonda shows that she has got someting in the tan that many of these ladies don't have and it could lead her to the top in 88.

[kevinmcfl]

Wendy Richter better be careful when she says she knows Lisa Moretti can't beat her!  

[spaldoni]

Moretti and Singh tear it up in a hot opener. Moretti powerslamming Singh is one awesome visual. 

I love how you mix it up and throw in heel vs. heel and babyface vs. babyface matches. Keeps things fresh.

Nellie looked pretty good but Richter is in a league of her own. 

I never get tired of Richter vs. Moretti. Bring it on again!

Advertised Match:

Medusa Miceli versus Desiree Petersen for the NWA World Women’s Championship

We kick the programme off this week with hellacious violence, as the Monsters take on the Star Girls in a title match that is “no holds barred” in all but name. We get a few high spots, and lots of ringside brawling and crowd interaction, before the heels inevitably begin to gain ground.

The Star Girls are defiant to the end but are never even close to securing a pinfall.

Rhonda Singh & Reggie Bennett defeat Rockin’ Robin & Jamie West in 14:11 when Rhonda Singh pins Rockin’ Robin after a splash to retain the NWA World Women’s Tag Team Championship

A brief rundown of the card follows before we head to the interviews. The Star Girls are badly banged up, nursing their wounds, but they try to remain positive and point out that there’s still one more tag title bout scheduled this year. The Monsters gloat and cackle, boasting that they are the most dominant team in all of women’s wrestling.

We return for our first of three season matches, with Linda Dallas taking on Vicky Carranza. With both women backed up by their tag team partners, this is a traditional back-and-forth with very little interference. Both competitors get near falls, though the finish is preceded by a solid display of dominance by the victor.

Linda Dallas defeats Vicky Carranza in 10:34 by submission with an Indian deathlock in a Season Match

A hype match for the US title match then plays before we head to the interviews. Lady Apache speaks for Vicky Carranza and calls out Kat LeRoux for the minor role she played in the match. The Nasty Girls gossip with one another about their fellow wrestlers, and speculate about other matches on the card, outright ignoring the interviewer’s questions.

After another commercial break, we return to see twenty women marching to the ring for a battle royal; Ashly Kennedy and Brittany Brown, Candice Pardue, Debbie Combs, the Glamour Girls, Penny Mitchell, KC Houston, the Giant Slayers (except Desiree Petersen), Velvet McIntyre, Mad Maxine, Malia Hosaka and Princess Delta Dawn and Trudy Adams and Goldie Ray.

The first half of the match is, predictably, pure chaos.

With the heels and faces loosely aligned, there’s a lot of violence but very few eliminations until after the commercial break, when the dam seems to burst and they come thick and fast, several taking nasty falls. Eventually, it comes down to a final four of; Debbie Combs, Leilani Kai, Velvet McIntyre and Princess Delta Dawn. Whilst it briefly looks like it’ll be a two-on-two, Leilani Kai just can’t help herself and turns on Princess Delta Dawn. The three others heave the big woman over the ropes and then break off, heading to separate corners to strategise.

Velvet McIntyre seals her own fate by being the first to move, heading straight for Debbie Combs - who the commentators speculate is the bigger threat - leaving her blind to the leader of the Glamour Girls, who takes advantage and sends her tumbling to the floor.

It’s then down to Debbie Combs and Leilani Kai, and a bitter back-and-forth ensues. None of the heel’s dirty tricks help her here though, as Debbie Combs dips into her dark side and fires them all right back at her assailant before nailing her with a clothesline.

Debbie Combs defeats nineteen other women in 29:04 in an over-the-top-rope elimination battle royal to win the WWW Television Championship

A music video, promoting Medusa Miceli then plays, and we head through to the winner’s interview. Debbie Combs says her new title is just the confidence boost she needs to get her momentum back.

After another commercial break, we arrive at our second season match. This one is a friendly encounter - almost coming across like a training exercise - between Misty Blue Simmes and Heidi Lee Morgan. The two tag team partners have a bout of chain wrestling before quickening the pace and going for flash falls. In the end, it’s the mentor who picks the victory up.

Misty Blue Simmes defeats Heidi Lee Morgan in 07:51 by pinfall with a backslide in a Season Match

Another hype package for the US title match then plays before we head to the joint interview. Misty Blue Simmes and Heidi Lee Morgan tease each other before settling into a chit-chat, culminating in a prediction that Lisa Moretti will win her upcoming match.

Another commercial break then takes us to an anticipated bout for the US title, between Wendi Richter and Lisa Moretti. The champ makes a show of lamenting her lack of an entrance - owing to the match’s position on the card - but this backfires on her when the challenger storms down the ramp and nails her with a spear.

Wendi Richter is then dragged into the ring by her hair and the match begins. Lisa Moretti dominates the first five minutes, refusing to let up. It’s only when she gets greedy and goes for an early pinfall that her momentum is stalled and we get a brawl. This violence lasts through the commercial break and ends with a devastating powerbomb on the outside. Wendi Richter takes too long dragging her prey back into the ring, however, and only manages a two-count.

Lisa Moretti is subsequently able to recover but she never regains the advantage and, eventually, succumbs to the raw power of the champion.

Wendi Richter defeats Lisa Moretti in 32:04 by pinfall after a powerbomb to retain the NWA United States Women’s Championship

We get an advert for the merchandise catalogue before heading to the back for the interviews. Lisa Moretti is furious with herself for trying to secure an early win rather than continuing her assault. Wendi Richter, on the other hand, lavishes herself with praise and promises to regain her world title.

After another commercial break, we get to our third and final season match of the night, with Babyface Nellie taking on Candi Devine. With Peggy Lee Leather in her corner, Candi Devine manages to catch a break here and there, but otherwise the plays out as a showcase for Babyface Nellie who runs circles around her opponent and delivers her signature move three times in a row to secure a decisive win.

Babyface Nellie defeats Candi Devine in 08:42 by pinfall after a running knee drop in a Season Match

A hype package for the main event then plays and we get to our last set of interviews. Candi Devine sputters and struggles to come up with an explanation for her loss, generally becoming indignant and belligerent with the interviewer. Babyface Nellie is pleased with her win but says she still isn’t where she needs to be, and that she’ll have to improve if she wants to put herself back in the main event scene.

One last commercial break then takes us to our main event. Desiree Petersen, with her fellow Giant Slayers at ringside cheering her on, can’t avoid looking nervous as she takes on the world champion. Medusa Miceli has a grand entrance and tailor-made costume, white and silver, heading into the match with quiet confidence.

We then get a fun, fast-paced and highly technical match but one that sees the champ remain firmly on top throughout. Even a brief altercation with an overeager Selina Majors cannot knock Medusa Miceli off balance and she ends the match with her signature.

We end the programme on a shot of a jubilant world champion, shaking hands with her opponent.

P.S. After an awful past few weeks, everything's settling down again so I can get back into the swing of things!

[Autistic Dragon]

We open this week with a mauling courtesy of the Monsters.

Dallas gets a nice TV showcase.

Combs win a loaded battle royal to claim the TV title.

Simmes shows Morgan she still has a lot to learn.

Richter wins a war to retain the United States Title.

Nellie claims a Devine victory.

Peterson with a spirited effort but Medusa remains firmly on top of the mountain.

[spaldoni]

Nice touch showing the Star Girls banged up in the post match interview. In my opinion, this did an excellent job putting the Monsters over even more.

Dallas getting a submission win over Caranza on a Spectacular is a big deal. 

I was happy that the battle royal came down to the vets Combs and Kai. Glad Combs won the TV title and I hope she gets some serious momentum going. She's the type that can always slip into the main event scene at any given time. 

We get a nice cool down match as Misty beats Morgan in a friendly encounter.

Things get rock'n and roll'n as Moretti and Richter tear into each other. Richter has a strong finish and outlasts Moretti to retain. After that, Richter is probably thinking world title match.

Wow! Nellie has an incredible showing by using her finisher 3 times to put down Devine. I know Nellie doesn't think she's where she should be, but that win definatley gets her close. 

Peterson puts in a good effort but Medusa is in a league of her own right now. Good sportsmanship shown by the champ to end the night on a classy note. 

2 thumbs up!

Medusa Miceli & Velvet McIntyre & Babyface Nellie versus Wendi Richter & Linda Dallas & Kat LeRoux for the WWW Trios Championship

We start this week off with a recap of the previous week’s events before heading onto to our traditional television title opener. Debbie Combs looks to defend her title from Misty Blue Simmes. With two babyfaces squaring off, we get a nice and technical bout, with grace periods and a lot of back-and-forth, as the women trade pinning manoeuvres.

The champ has a few scares but eventually brings things back under control.

Debbie Combs defeats Misty Blue Simmes in 14:55 by pinfall with a small package to retain the WWW Television Championship

A hype package for the main event then plays before we head on through to the interviews. Debbie Combs decides to crash her opponent’s interview, giving her props for her performance, proceeding to have a friendly chit-chat with her and her tag team partner.

A commercial break then brings us to our first season match of the night.

With Luna Vachon taking on Leilani Kai, it isn’t long before the women at ringside break out into faction warfare. The brawling around the ring does ensure that the legal participants in the match can proceed unmolested. Luna Vachon shows that she’s come a long way with a solid defensive style but, in the end, it isn’t enough for the nasty ruthlessness of Leilani Kai.

A promotional music video - covering the whole roster - then plays before we head to what are supposed to be the interviews. Instead, the hallways are clogged with vicious fighting between the Giant Slayers and the Glamour Girls that continues into the commercial break.

We then arrive at our second season match, with Jamie West taking on Trudy Adams. This pure babyface contest is a lot less even than the opening match, with Jamie West remaining firmly in control throughout. Trudy Adams gets a few good moves in but she is generally unable to out wrestle her opponent.

Jamie West defeats Trudy Adams in 08:39 by pinfall after a lariat in a Season Match

A promotional video, showing off a recent charity drive, then brings us through the interviews. Trudy Adams and Goldie Ray speak frankly about the performance and stress their need to redouble their training efforts. The Star Girls give a cheerful interview where they revisit their desire to secure a rematch for the tag titles and end the year as champions.

Another commercial break then takes us through to our final season match of the night. With her fellow Glamour Girls at ringside, similarly battered and bruised from their encounter with the Giant Slayers, Judy Martin looks quite nervous to be facing Rhonda Singh. The big woman wastes no time, however, and beats her opposition from pillar to post.

Some cheating and interference from her allies keeps Judy Martin in the fight for a while but the finish is a foregone conclusion, once she gets the wind knocked out of her by an almighty splash.

Rhonda Singh defeats Judy Martin in 10:44 by pinfall after a splash in a Season Match

After another hype package for the main event, we move through to the interviews. The Glamour Girls look like hell and manage to blame the Giant Slayers through the loss. The Monsters bring their tag titles to their interview, which the commentators later suggest may have been a silent answer to the Star Girls, and shower each other with praise.

After another commercial break, we arrive at our main event. Before we get to the entrances, however, we’re taken to the back to witness chaotic scenes, in the apparent aftermath of an attack on Medusa Miceli who is being tended to by a medic.

When Pat Patterson shows up, Velvet McIntyre accuses Wendi Richter of having hit her partner in the leg with a steel chair, and Babyface Nellie backs her up. Unsure of what to do, he asks Medusa Miceli whether she can compete, saying she can instead choose to push the match back a week. Her partners urge her not to compete but, after a moment’s contemplation, she says she can fight and win.

The result is a ferocious battle, with tempers flaring and the faces with revenge on their minds. We get a solid performance from the champions, with the challengers only bailed out of serious danger at various points by well-timed tags in and out.

After the commercial break, things take on a more even flavour, as the Nasty Girls battle back, and the initial fire of the babyfaces fades.

In the end, it comes down to Wendi Richter and Medusa Miceli (whose partners had largely tried to keep her out of the match), and we get some ferocious fighting before Medusa Miceli tries to seal the deal with her finishing move, only for her knee to buckle. Wendi Richter seizes the opportunity to brutalise the world champion, who is in tears by the time she gives in.

Wendi Richter & Linda Dallas & Kat LeRoux defeat Medusa Miceli & Velvet McIntyre & Babyface Nellie in 27:55 when Wendi Richter submits Medusa Miceli with a figure four leg lock to win the WWW Trios Championship

We then end on a shot of a demoralised Medusa Miceli being helped to the back, whilst the heels cackle and cheer in the ring.

Ouch, that is some dirty work at the crossroads. Hope Medusa can bounce back from this.

Combs is halfway through her TV title reign.

Kai's dirty win starts a gang fight between the Giant Slayers and the Glamour Girls.

West wins a friendly bout with Adams.

Singh crushes a winded Martin.

A steel chair assault leads to new Trios champions. Credit to Medusa for trying but she probably should've listened to her partners.

Great main event.  Does Medusa's injury open the door for Velvet or Moretti to get in the ring next with Richter?  

Maybe the injury isn't to serious and she will be back quick.  I like when wrestling shows end with a lot of questions.  It is like a soap opera for men!

I also liked all the even matches on this card that made it hard to know the winner before the bout.  Kai vs Vachon, Singh vs Martin and Combs vs Simmes were all great matches that the fans would have been watching intently.

Great show!

I'm liking Combs as TV champ. Classy lady.

Kai is able to outfight a game Luna.

Giant Slayers and Glamour Girls are getting wild and crazy tonight. These backstage brawls are intense.

Things calm down as West defeats Trudy in a clean match.

Poor Martin, didn't have much of a chance.

Richter gets down and dirty tonight with a sneak attack beating on Medusa. Props to Medusa for competing but she played right into Richter's hands. Richter wins this round but she better be on high alert. BTW, Pat Patterson's appearance really elevated this angle. Added to the seriousness of the situation.
