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
