The indefatigable Fate and manager Max Speede tried once again to wrest the much coveted PWE Women’s title from champion Cindy Rogers in action in Dillsburg, PA back on November 3rd.   PWE Commissioner Tiffani Monroe stipulated however, that the match could only take place with Mr. Speede handcuffed to her outside the ring, in order to prevent his outrageous interference.  It seemed like Fate would not need Mr. Speede’s assistance, however, giving Ms. Rogers a very tough match.  But after a strong showing, Fate found herself once again in Cindy Rogers’ patented TCB finisher.  Meanwhile, outside the ring, Mr. Speede appeared to be having a medical emergency.  Dr. Brophy was called over and he immediately had the handcuffs removed so he could administer appropriate treatment.  But the devious Mr. Speede was only playing possum. Taking advantage of his freedom, he grabbed Fate’s suspiciously heavy looking golden handbag and slammed Ms. Rogers’ across the back with it, thus breaking the TCB.  But fortunately the confusion did not work to their advantage.  In a matter of moments, Fate was back in the TCB and the inevitable tap out came soon after.  Mutual recriminations followed.  While Cindy’s arm was being raised, Mr. Speede was chiding Fate for losing once again and declaring that he had found a new wrestler to challenge Cindy, namely Sara del Rey.  An infuriated Fate said that she was having nothing more to do with Mr. Speede.  To put a brake on Mr. Speede’s ambitions, Commissioner Monroe declared that Sara would have a chance at the title only if Mr. Speede particiapted in a mixed tag match pitting Tiffani and Cindy against Max and Sara del Rey!  Mr. Speede accepted!  That match happens tomorrow!

Meanwhile, check out my pictures of the earlier PWE action at the Image Gallery!    

The cobbled streets of one of the Philadelphia’s most historic areas hosted yet another historic moment as Cindy Rogers defeated Alexa Thatcher to become the first ever WWWA Women’s Champion.  The full house at the exclusive Venetian Club watched a real battle as the veteran “Definition of Technician” took on the rising star from Jersey.  In the end, a Russian leg sweep followed by Ms. Rogers’ patented TCB finisher got the submission from the valiant Ms. Thatcher.  Something for Alexa to think about as she and Cindy continue their feud at WSU in December!

I thought I would add a match by match string of disconnected thoughts …

Vol. 15 matches

Amber O’Neal vs Eden Black – I just can’t say enough good things about Amber.  She is my favorite heel.  And her new look is jaw-dropping.  A great start to the show and a very satisfying win for Eden.

Portia Perez + Nicole Matthews vs Lorelei Lee + Ashley Lane – these were two very good pairings; everybody worked together well.  Of course all wanted to see how the “new girls” did and they did a very creditable job.  Plus Nicole has some sweet elevation on that dropkick of hers!  This was the first of many tag matches and, I hope, a harbinger of a tag tourney to come.  Both these teams are keepers.

Jetta vs Serena Deeb – The other “new girl” Jetta made a very impressive debut, but not until later would we see the full package.  Oh well, Serena seems  to be the Allison Royal of SHIMMER … jobbing to a newbie!  Don’t give up Serena!

Allison Danger vs Cindy Rogers – Allison and Cindy continue their feud in grand style.  A good match, although they’ve had better, especially that two out of three falls match back in July.

MHWC vs Josie + Ariel – MHWC work together like a well-oiled machine.  Clearly the team to beat in any future tourney.  Josie and Ariel were both grand, but I don’t see them as a team.  Josie and Serena perhaps; not sure who I’d team Ariel up with.

Cheerleader Melissa vs Alexa Thatcher – Alexa wowed everybody by keeping this from being a squash.   Melissa of course is her usual juggernaut … she exudes power in a way that Sara doesn’t, even though she’s not as big as Sara.

The Experience vs MsChif + Daffney - The Experience is right up there with MHWC as a team that really gels.  The “scream” theme has been used to good effect in the past, [MsChif and Melissa removing the ear plugs from Lexie and Malia's ears was absolutely hilarious], but it is getting old as far as I’m concerned … a little goes a long way.

Sarah Stock vs Daizee Haze – I have more blurry photos from this match than any other, it was so fast paced.  Their match at the championships was the best of the show; this was best match of the show [both volumes] too!  Kudos to both Sarah and Daizee for another awesome match.

Amazing Kong vs Sara del Rey – what’s amazing about Kong is not really her size, it’s her speed and agility.  A very hard hitting match that had everybody on their feet.  Some didn’t like the ending.  I thought it was good … Amazing Kong is tough enough, but an Amazing Kong DENIED is just plain scary to contemplate!

Vol. 16 matches

Amber O’Neal vs Lorelei Lee - another winner of a match from Amber, this time with Lorelei.  Lorelei made me laugh at the end when she sat up saying, “I won?  I won?  I really won?”  Yes, indeed, Lorelei!  Some naysayers had been critical of Lorelei, but she hit everything right in this match.  A perfect foil for Amber’s antics.

Josie + Ariel vs Nicole Matthews + Portia Perez – another well done tag match, with Portia and Nicole really clicking as a team I thought.  Top rope thingy with Ariel clotheslining Nicole as she sat on Josie’s shoulders … best move of the night!  The SHIMMER crowd doesn’t do the “holy shit” chant … but it was warranted here.

Alexa Thatcher vs Ashley Lane – a nice, although short match, where Alexa got to show off her heart kick finisher.  SWEET!

The Experience vs Serena Deeb + Allison Danger – The Experience may actually be better heels than the MHWC in that they showed sheer viciousness here, especially against Serena.  Again, I think Serena would be better partnered with Josie, and Allison … well, I think she would best be partnered with Cindy Rogers!  But we know that ain’t gonna happen!! 

Cindy Rogers vs Daffney – with that knee, should Daffney have gotten into the ring?  Match seemed to be in slo-mo.  Not BAD, mind you, just something seemed missing, which since I am a Cindy Rogers mark, is hard for me to say.

MHWC + Jetta vs Eden Black, MsChif + Daizee Haze -  opening mayhem was long but fun, although it seemed to lose its focus after about 5 minutes.  But once it got started, it was awesome.  Jetta really shone, not being  overshadowed  by Lacey and Rain [which is as much of a credit to Lacey and Rain as it is to Jetta].  Jetta fit in like she had been around from day one.  Little spot with her and Daizee facing each other on the mat had me in stitches.  MHWC brought out goggles to protect against the green mist … so why no mist?

Amazing Kong vs Cheerleader Melissa – another high impact match with Kong.  Melissa is one of the few you think can go toe to toe with Kong and she made a valiant effort!

Sara del Rey vs Sarah Stock – best match in this volume.  These ladies’ ability to maintain suspense in a back and forth match is amazing.

The two best matches in my opinion have one thing in common … Sarah Stock.  If it makes any sense, her ability is understated.  She is no spot monkey, but is able to pull off a long, sustained battle that makes sense from start to finish.  Sometimes wrestlers with more limited movesets end up doing the same things a couple times over just to fill a longish match; I never get that sense with Sarah.  And of course I think she brings out the best in Daizee and Sara as well.
