Pro Wrestling Respect held its third ever show just last week in beautiful downtown Burlington, New Jersey, and, continuing that promotion’s dedication to women’s wrestling, the show featured two women’s matches.

In the first women’s contest, rising star ‘Jumpin’ Jamilia Craft took on the mouthy Courtney Prezleigh, in her PWR debut. The two women shook hands at the outset of the match, setting a nice sportsman-like tone, but the good will didn’t last long when Ms. Prezleigh, getting the worst of things against her masked opponent, began taking liberties with the rules. Courtney had Jamilia in trouble several times during the match, but the ‘Craft-y’ one was always able to make her escape. The end came suddenly though, when Ms. Craft, having ducked under a potentially devastating clothesline, nailed Ms. Prezleigh with a spear that knocked her right off her feet and set her up for the uncontested pin. Another strong win for Jamilia and an impressive debut for Ms. Prezleigh.

The second match of the afternoon was a tag match pitting the team of Daizee Haze and Rayna von Tosh against MsChif and ‘Bonesaw’ Jesse Brook. MsChif continued her devious ways at PWR and found the perfect partner in the debuting Ms. Brook. Their strategy was simple. Keep Daizee out of the ring and isolate Rayna von Tosh. The two women began a double-barrelled assault on the voluptuous redhead that made even veteran wrestling fans wince. But what they did not count on is the fact that Ms. von Tosh is tough as nails! Rayna endured everything the dastardly duo dished out, and, after blocking a supplex attempt by MsChif, tagged Daizee into the ring. Ms. Haze nailed MsChif with an off the top rope hurricanrana and nearly had the pin. But it was Rayna who saved the day, spearing MsChif just as she was about to use her infamous Green Mist on Ms. Haze. The dazed Chif was then easy prey for the Haze’s pin. Rayna’s save was doubly satisfying since she herself had been the victim of a Green Mist attack in a previous PWR show. An excellent match! A grudging nod should be given to Ms. Brook, who, though establishing herself as a rulebreaker, proved to be an extraordinarily tough and skilled combatant. Under MsChif’s tutelage, she may well become one of the most feared women in PWR! ‘Bonesaw’ indeed!

A couple weeks ago (that’s right, nothing but up to the minute news here at WWWWWW!), the City of Brotherly Love was host to the newest women’s wrestling promotion, FURY! In it’s debut show, the fans had the opportunity to see some of the best new talent in wrestling today.

The first match was a three-way, pitting ring veterans Angel Dust and Autumn Breeze against rookie Niya. Ms. Dust and Ms. Breeze immediately took the fight to the newcomer, using questionable tactics and frequent double-teaming to try to wear down the vivacious redhead, but their teamwork broke down whenever one of them came close to a pin. Eventually, Angel and Autumn’s bickering cost both of them the win, as Niya took advantage of their distraction to nail them both with a crossbody from the ropes, finally getting the pin and the win over Autumn Breeze.

In the second match, we got to see ‘Jumpin’ Jamilia Craft, a wrestling newcomer who has been taking the East Coast women’s wrestling scene by storm. Just coming off her very successful SHIMMER debut, Ms. Craft faced the mysterious Skilled Death Artist #3 (don’t ask what happened to the other two!). Jamilia had her hands full with this petite, but (as advertised) highly skilled opponent, but was able finally to eke out the win with a German supplex/pin combination that put SDA #3′s shoulders to the mat for the pin.

Finally, we had the main event, in which FURY Champion Jesse Belle defended her belt against one of the busiest women in wrestling today, Brittany Force. Ms. Force, who has been dominating women’s wrestling in western Pennsylvania for some time now, was eager to extend her reach, and the FURY title seemed to be just the ticket for that. But Ms. Belle, though still a relative newcomer, was determined to keep her belt at all costs. One of those ‘costs’ was apparently the rule book, which went right out the window as Jesse assaulted Ms. Force with chokes, stomps, hairpulls, eye rakes, and yes, even an iron chain. The iron chain, hidden from the ref’s eyes, turned out to be the clincher as Jesse Belle got the uncontested pin over a nearly out cold Brittany. But Jesse’s cheating ways did not go unnoticed by others, in particular by Discord, who while Jesse was parading with her belt, attacked her, vowing to end her malicious reign as FURY champ.

The card was filled out with men’s matches for FURY host promotion ACPW. Congrats to FURY for having some great wrestling, even as several of the advertised wrestlers were unable to make it. There is much to look forward to at the upcoming October show … new talent and new rivalries. Click the pic above to go to the FURY MySpace page and keep up to date on upcoming shows.
