Girls Rain and Daizee Haze fought in a first-round match at last weekend's tag team tourney in Reading, Pennsylvania sponsored by Chikara. The girls did well, but they were matched against one of the most accomplished male teams that Chikara had scheduled that night. And, as you can see, these guys pulled no punches. In fact, it looks like they tried to get away with anything they possibly could to defeat the girls! While Daizee managed some good high-flying moves and Rain got in some power shots (and even a DDT), they went down to defeat. But it's no wonder when their opponents used tactics like the one shown above. That's Rain getting roughed-up in the corner as the guys double-team her. The shaggy-headed guy tries to look innocent as he keeps the suffering brunette trapped in his corner. Meanwhile, his bald buddy lifts a boot into Rain's throat and puts all he has into a nasty choke. These guys may have collected the win after this match, but they apparently left their class back in the locker room...what little of it they had to begin with, that is!

Girl Kayla Sparks may have been looking forward to competing in Somerville, Massachusetts for World Women's Wrestling (WWW) earlier this month...but we're sure she wasn't expecting to absorb the beating she took at the hands of the heel team of Missy Sampson and Alexa Thatcher. Although she had her very competent Diva Killa partner Miss DeVille in her corner, Kayla found herself trapped far from her friend for most of the match. Sampson and Thatcher effectively worked over the youngster as they tagged-off often to remain fresh while slowly wearing down Sparks. Here, we see Thatcher gritting her teeth as she bears down on a tough arm twist that has pain shooting through the wrist, elbow and shoulder of her opponent. It got rougher for Kayla when Missy entered the ring. Take a look as Sampson uses her strength to lift Sparks up off the mat in preparation for a devastating sidewalk slam.
Unbelievably, Kayla was able to keep from being pinned. Not only that, she also managed to tag in DeVille and help her set up Thatcher for the Swanton finisher. The winners of the match: The Diva Killaz!
On a side note, we have to say that this is the first time we've seen Kayla's new ring gear. The new
Now, we know that the G.L.O.R.Y. Girl formerly known as Luscuious Lily has never been a sweetie-pie in the ring. That's obvious. But since her name change to Missy Sampson in late-2005, she's become one of the most nasty, vicious and ruthless wrestlers on the East Coast. Case in point: this past Saturday's DWOW match where Missy faced fellow G.L.O.R.Y. Girl Liz Savage in a no-holds-barred hardcore match. Sampson was business-like in the destruction of her opponent. Take a look at her face in the shot above...emotionless as she tightens that thick steel chain around the throat of Savage!
We suppose that it wouldn't have taken long for Sampson to get the win this way, but this bully didn't want to just win the match. She wanted to torment and injure her less-experienced opponent before pinning her. Here's some more proof: Check out how Missy has Liz helplessly handcuffed to the top rope as she winds up to smash the defenseless girl with a steel chair from ringside. Talk about brutal!
After being choked with a steel chain, smashed over the head with a toaster oven, slammed with a steel chair, bashed by a heavy trash can and more...Savage was out cold. Thankfully, Missy finally brought the carnage to the end with a cocky pin of her unconscious foe.
Credit goes to Liz Savage for stepping into the ring against a much more experienced opponent...especially in this type of match. We're sure she knew that this was going to be a tough match, but she still stepped though the ropes and gave it her best shot. We know that she'll take this experience and use it to be even more prepared for her next hardcore battle.
Missy, on the other hand, seems to be rather full of herself. We can't get that picture of her arrogant pin out of our mind. We think it's pretty low-class of her to not only take advantage of such an inexperienced opponent, but to revel in dishing out this kind of devastation. But all this might very well come back to haunt the over-confident Sampson, because we've just learned that she's going to be competing in another hardcore match for DWOW on April 29th. Her opponent: "The Queen Of Hardcore", LuFisto!

At last weekend's ABC show in Union City, New Jersey, April was scheduled to take on Mercedes Martinez in a one-on-one battle. Hobbling to the ring with a cane and a knee brace in place, April was obviously in no position to wrestle. But after some brief negotiations between Big Red and Mercedes, an agreement was reached: Ms. Martinez would face April's new fiance, J.D. Michaels, in an intergender match-up. Everyone seemed pleased with the arrangement...until Martinez began to get the upper-hand, that is. Suddenly, April decided that she didn't like the match-up at all and she took it upon herself to "even up the odds" a little bit. As you can see, April's idea of making things more even was to interfere and take a few shortcuts when the ref wasn't looking. Take a look at the way April is using that cane to keep Mercedes' throat pinned over the middle rope while her boyfriend distracts the ref from doing anything to stop the attack.
This is NOT the kind of behavior that we'd expect to see from April Hunter! While we certainly root for our G.L.O.R.Y. Girls when they are competing against non-G.L.O.R.Y. ladies, we certainly don't condone this kind of action. So the question is: What has changed to make April suddenly start acting in this manner? We think we know.
And believe it or not, April's behavior sunk even lower than this! Another shocking and despicable display from April Hunter tomorrow...

(Cick here to see yesterday's POD if you missed it.) We're sorry to report that April sunk even lower during this event...
Turns out that even after interfering in the match on behalf of her "main squeeze", J.D. Michaels, her man STILL lost the match to Ms. Martinez. Obviously, not the outcome that April was expecting. An irate April jumped into the ring after the bell and joined Michaels in a double-team beatdown of the exhausted Mercedes. This is absolutely despicable! Look at the smile on Hunter's face as she rams the end of that cane into Martinez's ribs while her cowardly accomplice has the poor girl locked-up from behind...unable to defend herself from the attack! Disgusting!
Yesterday we asked: What has happened to April Hunter to bring about this kind of behavior? Well, perhaps it's just a one-time thing. Maybe she was in a rotten mood that day. Could be that she was ticked-off about something leading up to the match. Or, it could be that she's being influenced by someone else. Someone with the initials J.D.?
