SLAMpeg 3164: Gabi Castrovinci vs Jessie Belle

There’s no need for hot cocoa and bedtime stories in this match as Gabi and Jessie face of in a Best 3 out of 5 Sleeperhold contest. The rules are minimal – a point can only be scored from a KO by Sleeper.

After a cautious few opening moments, it is Gabi who clamps on the first Sleeper of the match. Jessie’s struggle’s come to naught and when the referee drops her arm for the third time, Gabi takes the early lead. Naturally, with few rules in play, Jessie is able to make a comeback (with a little help from the ropes and some blatant choking). Before long the score is tied.

2 more falls come in quick succession, as Gabi once again takes the lead and Jessie evens the score. At 2-2, it all comes down to the final fall. For Jessie to win, she’ll need to get ahead for the first time in the match, and she goes all out to make this happen. But, like certain other wrestling moves, a Sleeperhold can come ‘outta nowhere’. So Gabi shouldn’t be counted out (literally) just yet!
