SLAMpeg 4598: Christie Ricci vs Vanessa Harding

Previously available as Members Match #28 & on DVD SLAM 63.

Christie does not like Vanessa. Vanessa feels the same about Christie. As a result, there is no witty pre-match banter, no handshake to start off the match. Instead, the two trade shoves, then Christie Clotheslines Vanessa out of the ring. Vanessa responds with a kick to the gut, clubs over the head, rope chokes, and an Irish Whip into the corner.

The two employ classic wrestling maneuvers and holds, including Suplexes, Bearhugs, Boston Crabs, and an Abdominal Stretch. And because they’re wily veterans who know how to take advantage of the lack of a referee, there’s also an occasional eye rake, rake of the back, and illegal choke. Neither warrior will fall, despite a Powerslam, Clothesline off the ropes, and more powerful moves. In the end, it’s a Rear Naked Choke that wears down one woman just enough for her opponent to transition into a Sleeperhold with bodyscissors that finally turns out the lights for one and ends the match.
