L'VINN'S "THE MAD HATTERS".
Live from The
Wrestling Factory, Manchester, UK. Saturday
28 March 2015: Show Report by Mark Lockey.
Referee:
Billy. MC: Brett Linforth. PA (Sound) Andy. Camera: Andrew.
10 Ladies on the card today; experienced Wrestling Factory
regulars were joined by debutants: Karolina, Jenny Badeau and Vix
Enoir.
Mat Based Contest: 15 minutes duration: Axa v Karolina:
The initial match of the day brought together the lovely Axa, in
a vibrant pale blue bikini and show debutant: Karolina, who wore
a red and white striped bra and black thong style briefs, with
stunning red nails. After a furious lock up to commence the bout;
Axa took the lead on 35 seconds, then, compounded this via a
scissors hold to go 2-0 in front. Karolina pulled a submission
back from Axa via a neat neck scissors hold. The match began to
take shape as each girl thwarted the other to take charge. Axa
applied a fireman's carry whilst Karolina showed great resistance
under pressure. A very high scoring first contest from 2 gorgeous
blondes in a lively opening match.
Pro.Style Contest: 15 minutes duration: Lisa Fury v Lana: Next up, the first
pro.style match of the day. The lovable Liverpool lass: Lisa Fury
is such a firm audience favourite. She always looks stunning and
involves the crowd with her witty in-ring banter. Her
form-fitting one piece black swimsuit and tights were curiously
matched by her opponent: Lana. Though, Lana did add thigh length
leather boots and her personalised name to her costume. As she
joined Lisa in the ring, Lisa exclaimed " are you copying my
costume and my twirl ?" Both ladies forced each other into
the corners as the early exchanges unfolded. Lana attempted an
early pin, Lisa escaped via the ropes. The swift holds continued
as Lana smashed Lisa's head into the canvas. Lisa - as always
very verbal - lulled Lana into a false sense of security, then
attacked her in the turnbuckle. Lisa continued her assault,
cleverly keeping her opponent down on the floor whilst
distracting the referee, then, gave her a punch to the inner
thigh, just for good measure ! The bout intensified with armlocks
and a sequence of superb holds and reversals. Lana came close
with a 2 count with Lisa grateful for a grab of the ropes. The
match concluded as one lady cut down her opposite number with a
low blow, followed by a single leg boston for the victory.
Mat Based Contest: 15 minutes duration: Raven v Jenny Badeau: One half of the
Blackbirds: Raven was up against show newcomer: Jenny Badeau.
Raven was "leopard clad" in skirt, briefs and black
tights. Jenny announced herself as "wild", attired in
black bra and blue patterned trunks. Ms Badeau had no show debut
nerves as she established a 1-0 lead, after applying a headlock.
The lead, however, was short lived as the ever smiling Raven
evened things up at 1-1. Both wrestlers' furious legs entwined as
each sought to gain an advantage; a spank from Raven let Jenny
know that she was not to be messed with ! This evenly fought
match rocked both ways as the ladies fought hard to gain
supremacy. Raven showed immense strength by lifting Jenny clean
off the canvas as the pins continued to mount up. A high scoring
and very enjoyable encounter.
Pro.Style Tag Match: 15 minutes duration: Red Hot Mama's v Roxi &
Vix Enoir: The
Red Hot Mama's: Pippa L'Vinn & Shelby Beach were greeted by
warm applause from the audience and, removed their lovely silk
gowns to reveal their vibrant red swimsuits, tights and boots.
Looking supremely confident - as they should - they awaited their
opponents. Roxi in a bright lime green outfit was paired up with
show newcomer: Viz Enoir: attired in a pink and black striped top
and matching brief shorts. Pippa locked up with Roxi to start
proceedings. Pippa swept straight into action before Roxi could
barely get her breath with an armbar then, tagged in Shelby. Roxi
then delivered a painful looking surfboard on Shelby who cleverly
reversed and hip-tossed her way out of this potential submission.
Pippa was brought back in and summoned up all of her strength
with a full nelson - countered superbly by Roxi. Vix Enoir then
came through the ropes after being tagged to take on Pippa. The
match developed a furious pace as Ms L'Vinn slammed Vix Enoir to
the canvas, then, bringing in her ally and shouting encouragement
to Shelby "Break her in two". The Red Hot Mama's
continued to use "clever teamwork" as their antics were
questioned by their opposite numbers. The match concluded with
all 4 ladies in the ring where a pin was gained to take the
victory. This caused some friction between the defeated team -
more of this later.....
INTERVAL
Mat Based Contest:
15 minutes duration: Karolina v Raven:
Karolina and Raven opposed each other next. Both returning from
previous promising performances today. Karolina wore a black bra and combat style
trunks whereas Raven opted for a one piece leather swimsuit with
tights. The initial stages of the
contest displayed an excellent use of the legs by both
combatants. Raven commented: "You're stubborn", then
spanked her rival ! As the match progressed it
became apparent that continuous strength holds via the legs and
lower body would prove to be the decisive and dominant factors. Raven secured an opening as Karolina tapped
out. Raven's lead was short lived as she was pinned to bring the
scores level. Continuous exemplary
takedowns and counter holds graced the bout which was intense,
though, remained friendly and respectful. Raven's tights were unable to hold out and
ripped due to the pressure applied by the tenacious Karolina. Both ladies gave their all in this
intriguing battle.
Pro.Style Contest:
15 minutes duration: Vix Enoir v Lisa Fury: These two very attractive wrestlers brought
more warm applause from the expectant audience. Lisa, this time, opted for a blue/turquoise
two peice outfit that emphasised her fantastic physique. Vix
Enoir looked equally stunning, as before with her pink and black
attire. The show debutant, this time in singles action, looked
keen to display her full repertoire as she exclaimed "Don't
set me angry" and took the fight to Lisa with armlocks and
slams. Lisa craftily halted her progress with a finger to the eye
of her opponent. The match developed into a great rivalry, with
both ladies determined to be victorious. Ms Fury wrapped her
long, sumptuous legs around her grimacing opponent and, Vix Enoir
did well to break the painful hold. Both ladies went all out to
gain the advantage that would ultimately secure victory. Vix
Enoir went on the offensive by working Lisa on the ropes, Lisa,
undeterred dished out an open handed slap which caused Vix Enoir
much anguish. The match
concluded by one girl being thrust into the turnbuckle and then
slammed to the mat for the 3 count.
Mat Based Contest: 15 minutes duration: Jenny Badeau v Axa: Jenny, fresh from her previous battle with Raven earlier would be severely tested again as her opponent this time was Axa. Jenny wore a bright red swimsuit with flesh coloured tights. Axa was minimally attired in a black bra and bright pink briefs. The match started with an interlocking of legs and thighs as each lady grappled amidst much puffing and panting. Jenny scored first as Axa tapped out, though fought back to level the scores at 1-1. Axa, no doubt encouraged by her pin, attempted to take advantage and maintain her hight tempo. Jenny was on the receiving end of Axa's onslaught and, cleverly maintained her stance on the mat to conserve her energy. Jenny then made a decision to play to her strengths and used her assets to intimidate and dominate Axa. Both girls began to execute "upper body face smothers" as the scoring continued. Axa and Jenny were clearly enjoying their TITanic battle and continued right up until the final bell. A close yet high scoring match, thoroughly embraced by the audience.
Pro.Style Contest: 15 minutes duration:Roxi v Lana: The ever popular Roxi entered the ring in a bright coloured pink two piece outfit. Opposing her in this pro. match: Lana, again wearing her eponymous costume, as before. Both athletes were of a similar, petite height. The opening exchanges featured armlocks, countered by swivels. Lana headlocked Roxi and slammed her to the mat. Roxi, of vast experience, looked unconcerned. This evenly matched contest saw both ladies going all out and, not holding back in reserve at all. This was greatly appreciated by the audience. Roxi brought Lana crashing to the canvas with a skilful drop toe hold and followed up to take advantage of her downed rival. Lana excecuted a brilliant manoeuvre out of danger as the drama and excitement heightened. The match was unfolding into an exhibition of superb holds - Roxi displaying a full nelson to weaken Lana, then cleverly altering the move into a chinlock. Both ladies achieved 2 counts, as the match continued to flow at an electrifying pace. Roxi applied a stranglehold in which Lana brilliantly countered by undressing herself out of the move (metaphorically speaking !) via an ingenious reversal. Lana mirrored the manoeuvre, though, Roxi's attempt to duplicate Lana's previous escape was thwarted as she was slammed to the mat. At this point in the match Roxi appeared to have recieved an injury, gripping her ankle in pain and it looked for us all that there would be a premature end to this mouth watering bout. However, it transpired that Roxi was "playing possum" and faking her wound. Lana had been caught unaware and this allowed Roxi to take full advantage of the situation as she began to work Lana over. Roxi managed to get Lana into a single leg boston which preceded a rollaround involving both ladies. This epic match concluded after 2 clotheslines were compounded by a splash to proclaim a worthy winner.
Mat Based Contest: 15 minutes duration: Shelby Beach v Pippa L'Vinn: The penultimate match of this enthralling event was derived from "unfinished business" during a previous bout. Shelby Beach and Pippa L'Vinn were going to go all out in a mat based contest. The crowd really were being spoilt in anticipation of such a classic treat as two of the finest combatants in this country were going head to head, with no quarter given. Both ladies were suitably attired in bra tops and shorts as the two great rivals set about each other from the opening bell. As one would expect with two wrestlers' of the highest calibre; the text book holds and moves were top drawer as both strived to gain the upper hand. A fascinating fight ensued as each sought to outwit, outfight and out think the other. The match was a superb execution of mat based skills with two ladies at the top of their game.
Winner Stays on
Tournament:
The final match of this event was a "Winner Stays on
Tournament". Captains Shelby Beach and Pippa L'Vinn were
invited to choose a wrestler each from todays show to wrestle
against each other, with the agreement being that the victor
would then compete against the next wrestler of the
"defeated"captain's choice. Shelby chose Axa whilst Pippa chose Raven to
commence proceedings. Every
other wrestler - Karolina, Lisa Fury, Jenny Badeau, Lana, Roxi
and Vix Enoir joined the affray, one on one with the victorious
wrestler left standing from the previous match. A lively conclusion to this
memorable show where one girl fared incredibly well in defeating
all put before her, including a 2 v 1 scenario in the final bout.
Summary: This wonderfully entertaining show had everything (and more) one could ask for - intense Mat Based action that really caught the imagination, complemented by fast paced Pro.style excitement. Some superb performances, including exciting, eye-catching debuts from the new girls Karolina, Jenny Badeau and Vix Enoir; hopefully they will all return to the show very soon. Yet again another magnificent triumph for all who took part and especially to Pippa. One can only fully appreciate how hard this wonderful lady works when you are present at a live event. Arranging, performing, hosting and looking after all of the girls on the card plus, she always takes time out for her audience as well with wonderful hospitality. Not only is she without doubt the hardest working wrestler in the UK but, the loveliest person you could ever wish to meet. For those of us fortunate enough to have witnessed the action - we all felt honoured just to have been there at such a spectacular show. For anyone who missed the show - do the next best thing and buy the DVD - you will not be disappointed and come along next time - I guarantee you will be hooked, we all are ! A Special Thank You to Pippa and all of her team who work so hard to bring us such wonderful entertainment.... Mark Lockey
