WSU Awesome Challenge – December 12, 2009 –
American Legion Hall, Flemington, New Jersey
Available at WSUWrestling.com
Cindy Rogers vs Nikki Roxx
The DVD began with a promo from Cindy Rogers. Destiny introduced Cindy
Rogers while SoCal Val did the introduction for TNA Knockout Nikki Roxx.
Two of the best in the business, in the ring together. The match started
off with mat wrestling but soon turned into more of a brawl. Cindy did
her best to get the victory but Nikki eventually hit the Barbie Crusher
for the win. It is so odd to watch Nikki as the heel and Cindy as the
face but, they both play the parts very well. After the match, Rogers
cut another promo promising that he losing streak will end at the WSU
3rd Anniversary show.
Brittney Savage and Rick Cataldo promo is up next. Long story short, what
was supposed to be a tag match will now be a singles match.
WSU Spirit Title Match: Alicia vs Brittney Savage.
Brittney, Rick and Jana made their way to the ring. They announced that
this would be a handicap match. Alicia then entered saying Latasha was
on her way to the hospital after an attack by Jana. (Even though in an
earlier promo Latasha was “ill”.) Needless to say, this will
be a Spirit Title Match. Alicia attacked early with forearms followed
by a snapmare and a dropkick. Eventually, Brittney took control and the
match spilled to the floor. Finally, back in the ring Alicia was able
to hit the A-Bomb for the win and the title.
Next, a promo by Jazz regarding her history with Angel Orsini.
Jazz vs Angel Orsini
The match started off with both women showing their technical ability
with lockups and reversals. The two women then began working on each other’s
legs. Angel eventually gained the upper hand but Jazz soon gained control
and the match continued to go back and forth. Angel then began working
on Jazz’s arm. Jazz attempted a superkick but ended up hitting the
ref, when Angel moved. Angel followed up with her finisher. However, the
ref was out cold. Nikki Roxx hit the ring and nailed Orsini with her Barbie
Crusher. She pulled Jazz on top of Angel and the ref made the three count.
Amber O’Neal vs. Sumie Sakai
Right off the bat, Amber started the match by stalling. However, Sumie
went right after her. Amber tried to keep Sumie off her feet with submission
moves. Sumie battled back but Amber raked the eyes and hit the Amber Alert
for the win.
Post-match: Jazz challenged Amber to a match.
A Jennifer Cruz promo was next. She claims to have found a beautiful tag
team partner.
Angelina Love & Jennifer Cruz vs Rick Cataldo & Jana
Jana and Rick Cataldo entered the ring first. Jennifer Cruz introduced
Angelina Love as her partner. Why Angelina is being used in a match with
Rick Cataldo is beyond me? Men do not belong in the ring with women. Period.
Angelina and Jennifer won the match after about 9 minutes. Nine minutes
more than Cataldo should have been given.
A Mercedes Martinez promo aired.
WSU Championship Match
Mercedes Martinez(c) vs. Awesome Kong
Kong immediately went after Mercedes but Mercedes ducked and attacked
with a series of forearms. Kong then took over and beat Mercedes unmercifully.
Mercedes was able to mount a comeback and hit her Fisherman’s buster
for the win. Wow.
Nikki Roxx and Amber O’Neal hit the ring and attacked Martinez. Angel
Orsini and Jazz came out but couldn’t help. Kong eventually nailed
Roxx. Martinez shook Kong’s hand after the match.
Overall, a very enjoyable DVD. The majority of the matches
were solid with Cindy Rogers v Nikki Roxx and Mercedes Martinez v Awesome
Kong being the top two. Jazz vs Angel was a very close third. The promos
do a great job of setting up matches (when they are done correctly, unlike
the mix up with the Spirit title) and also help give some history of the
feuds. I don’t understand why a promoter would book a talent like
Angelina Love, only to waste her in a tag match that doesn’t allow
her to showcase her talent. However, that’s not my decision. This
was definitely one of the best DVDs, match for match, that I have seen
from WSU
