WOW Women of Wrestling 3/30/2024 Season 4, Episode 29
Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2024/03/wow-women-of-wrestling-3232024-season-4.html
Team Spirit does a promo. Ariel Sky said she wanted to make Coach proud and tells them to put their trios tournament trophy on the line.
Top Tier comes out. Dave tells them what they did was despicable. Coach agrees to put the trophy on the line but says she would have thought Arie had enough of the trophy.
Abilene Maverick is at the doctor's office. She wants to prove she can't wrestle. The doctor says she can then Ab kicks him and he says she can wrestle. We then see a poster on the wall showing that this is a vet clinic.
Exile (Exodus and Ice Cold) vs Americana and Santana Garrett
Ex wristlocks SG then Ice wristlocks her. SG cartwheels out of it then Ice forward cartwheels out of the wristlock. Ex side headlocks SG and headlock takeovers her. Ex headscissors her then SG backslides her for 2. Ameri boots Ex then handspring back elbows her. SG jumps off of Ameri's back and hits Ex.
Ameri takes a double knee to the gut then an Ice elbow. Ice snapmares Ameri then meteoras her for 2. Ameri is ddt'd by Ex. SG does a headflip into a lariat then russian legsweeps her. Ex superkicks Ice Cold then SG superkicks Ex. SG handspring moonsaults her and gets the win.
The announcers definitely got Americana and Santana confused here at times. It was a decent match with the faces getting worked on, the heels screwing up then the faces capitalizing on it.
BK Rhythm vs Holidead
BK does a rap on Holidead, saying she looks like a mouse that escaped from a haunted house. Holi gets tripped by BK then BK gets on her back for a sleeper. BK is thrown over then BK hits back elbows. BK's head is banged off the buckles by Holi. BK gets on the ropes and is suplexed in then legdropped.
Holi rams BK's head into the buckles. Lil J Boogie and Gigi Gianni distract Holi then BK backcrackers Holi. BK rolls her into an elbow drop for 2. BK pulls both of Holi's arms back. BK trips Holi then chokes her over the bottom rope. The Brat Pack mess with Holi while the ref isn't looking.
BK gets on Holi's back and tries to dragon sleeper her. Holi back rams her into the buckles. Holi hits shots then puts BK on the top rope. Holi kneelifts her as she hangs there for 2. BK avoids a swinging side slam. BK flips out of the gutwrench and hits a reverse ddt. BK's lip gets busted open. Holi does an angel's wings and wins it.
This was heel vs heel so Holi had to work face here which made things hard. It wasn't that great with BK not being that good here.
Foxxy Fierce and Chantilly Chella help out Holiday after then The Brat Pack jump Holi. This is the first time we've seen Foxxy this year. They try to dance with Holi and she's not having it.
The Mother Truckers talk in the locker room. Holly said they are wrestling the cats and the dogs tonight and said the tag titles aren't dog collars. They say they got two words for them - honk honk.
WOW Tag Titles - The Mother Truckers (Holly Swagg and Big Rig Betty) vs Animal Control (Katarina Jinx and Goldie Collins)
Jinx has some cat eyes on her gear and Goldie is a dog trainer, so that explains this name. The guy with McClane said they should call them "Animal Instinct" (and Dave agrees) but they get announced as "Animal Control". Dave says the people are calling Swagg Towing to try and meet the two.
Holly throws her hat at Goldie and Goldie catches it. Jinx trips Holly and rakes her back. Holly legsweeps her then meteora's the back of her head. Golide and Betty go at it. Betty hits a euro and a bulldog. Betty superkicks her. Goldie takes a changing lanes, which is where you get straightjacketed by two girls and pulled down. Goldie stomps Holly.
Jinx headscissors Holly on the ropes and Holly rolls her up for 1. Jinx high kicks her then Holly takes a delayed double suplex. Goldie bangs Holly's head off the mat. Holly blocks a double boot and Jinx ends up doing an enzugiri to Goldie. Betty hits lariats then rainmakers Goldie.
Betty russian legsweeps Jinx and hits a stunner to win it.
Jinx and Goldie aren't exactly people you would think would team together. WOW needs to figure out what their official name is. It was just average here. Betty needs to work on making her stunner look better.
Betty says her and Holly just ran over those two like roadkill. Betty said they need to pick them up and take them home for stew. Holly said to send out whoever else you got as they will turn them into roadkill too. Holly then says we've got two words for you - honk honk.
David McClane interviews The Beast in the ring. Dave shows her clips from her WOW Title match with Abilene Maverick. A camera shot shows Ab grabbing brass knucks. Dave said The Beast was proven correct and did not have the brass knuckles on. Beast said she wants her rematch and Dave says she's getting her rematch.
Top Tier talk in the back. Coach says not to worry about Team Spirit. They then do a group cheer. They run into Team Spirit and security breaks it up, telling them to save it for the ring.
The Dojo Defenders (a martial arts tag team) debut next week and Reina del Rey will be in action as well.
WOW Trios Trophy - Top Tier (Coach Campanelli, Gloria Glitter and Kandi Krush) (c) vs Team Spirit (Pep Riley, Sasha Sparks and Ariel Sky)
Coach and Sky start us off. Coach twists her into a bodyscissors. Sky uses her leg to get out of it in a cool manuever. Coach tries to trip Sky but Sky rolls out of it. Sasha back rolls into a headscissors on Gloria. Sasha armdrags and dropkicks her for 2. Gloria is tripped by Sasha and Pep.
Pep rolls up Kandi then Kandi does a rainmaker style lariat for 1. Pep takes shots from her opponents in the corner then Kandi sliding forearms her. Kandi throws her off the headlock. Pep goes up and over Coach then does a cartwheel back elbow.
Coach boots Sasha then knees her in the gut. Sasha takes a double gordbuster and Gloria stomps on Sasha. Gloria surfboards her then Sasha jawbreakers and upkicks her. Sky forward cartwheels into a lariat on Coach then backrolls into a headscissors on Kandi. Sky rolls into a codebreaker on Coach then backflips into a back elbow on Kandi. Sky cartwheel basement dropkicks Kandi. Sky does a wraparound bulldog on Coach.
Sasha step up knees Coach then takes a neckbreaker. Gloria germans Sky then Pep 2nd rope crossbodies Gloria. Kandi cradle shocks Pep then Sasha bulldogs Kandi. Coach hits an unprettier (called the buzzer beater) on Sasha and wins it.
This was a good tag and was a real showcase for Sky. I said when she debuted that Sky had a lot of potential to get ahead in wrestling and she showed it here. While I was kind of sour on Coach leaving Team Spirit, if it means Sky's going to be groomed to be a top girl then it'll be fine. I don't love the faces losing today, but if this feud is continuing and they get that win back at some point down the line, it'll be worth it. The work in this tag was really above the usual for WOW and these girls were working hard at a fast pace. I'd really like to see this one again.
Overall thoughts: A good main always helps a show out and the main event was good here. I got a good laugh out of the Goldie Collins segment at the doctor's office and The Beast's segment was good too. BK/Holidead was heel vs heel and didn't really work. The commentators got confused between Garrett and Americana and the ring announcer called Animal Instinct the wrong name which was a problem since it was their debut. I'd say it was good overall though due to the main and the opener.
