W.O.W. - Women of Wrestling (New Incarnation)

[Cobra Commander]

watching WOW because it's just before the Chris Colt DSOTR replay..

not sure if any wrestling crowds could be trusted with thundersticks

Adriana Gambino is one hell of Mob Wives name

I'm sure they're not usually this vague about the whole "First Guatemalan to graduate with a 4.0" thing because obviously they don't mean first Guatemalan in like the entire world to do that?

The Dojo Defenders? meanwhile.. there's a twin tag team where they have different colored hair on the other side

that's a cool looking tag team finisher by Miami's Sweet Heat

Hot opening seg with the Beast and Abilene. I had thought Beast was getting her shot this week but I guess not yet, though we never find out who Abilene's opponent would be instead.

Reina/Aussie ended up pretty good. Thought Aussie would end up overcoming her but not to be. Liked Gambino at ringside. Not sure of the taping cycle in regards to her injury but had me wondering if she'd stay on TV in a role like that.

Mighty Mights vs Brat Pack was awesome. Some unique moves there and a fast pace. Lil J continues to shine and Gigi looked good here too. Spice was on fire throughout.

Another fun tag in Miami Sweet Heat vs the debuting Dojo Defenders. The Fab Jab always rules. Fun post-match with the Mother Truckers as well. 

Main event was a nice trios match that had been setup previously but by far the shortest match of the night. Sad to see the heel team start to implode afterwards.

Goldie Collins/Beast was far more competitive than I expected. Thought Beast would steamroll right through her but nice showing from the newbie. 

Good stuff from Stephy Slays and Genesis. With all of the issues with Exile, Genesis really needed that win. 

Nice victory for Chantilly Chella too. And liking that the post match antics furthered the issues with Holidead and Chainsaw. And then we get the surprise of the returning Siren turning on Holidead! Things are getting juicy 

If I were the members of Team Spirit, I would be beating Ariel Sky's ass lol

The main was typical Abilene chicanery. lol Will be interesting to find out if the thing with Jessie is a new regular thing or just a case of "the enemy of my enemy"

[DreamBroken]

Goldie Collins rules. Glad to see her still get some shine even as a victim of the Beast. Laughed at her taking a powder to the outside and asking if the Beast has had her shots

Love to see a spotlight on Genesis, another that's always a highlight every time. Also good to see Stephy pop back up even if it is almost always to get crushed.

Chella beating Chainsaw relatively quick was surprising but I liked the post-match and return of Siren.  Shorter matches this week but a lot of solid storyline/character work. 

Enjoyed the main event. Didn't expect Abilene to pick a legit challenger but was a pretty awesome champion vs lower card babyface type match while it lasted. Didn't see the ending coming as I thought the Jessie Jones saga ended, but the feud continues.

Yea, was surprised that Jessie is still after Americana but she and Amber would make a good unit with Abilene

[DreamBroken]

Always good to start with another classic Miami Sweet Heat promo seg.

Coach Campanelli looks fantastic in her new gear, pretty much dominated Ariel in a quick opener.

Surprised to see the Classmaster pull the upset on GI Jane, finish was sudden out of nowhere.

Kandi Krush came off great in her backstage seg with Aussie.  The Brat Pack is always a blast. 

the setup for Jessie Jones needing a partner vs Santana & Americana was weird, as though Amber O'Neal no longer existed.

Really fun tag title main event as the Mother Truckers vs Miami Sweet Heat feud continues on. Holly getting launched shoulder first into the mat looked brutal. Laurie was an mvp here.  Nice chaotic closing of the show.

[DreamBroken]

Hot start going straight to the Americana/Santana vs Jessie with Abilene tag. No longer a mention of Amber still. Fun match that looked like the heels would end up not getting along but Abilene still gets the win anyways.

Babyface Holidead rules and made a nice team with Chantilly. Chainsaw always finding a way to try and kill Foxy Fierce, made for a great post-match angle introducing Foxy's sister, Roxy Fierce! 

Really dug the build up for Kandi vs Aussie. Saw them going back and forth on Twitter earlier hyping this up so I was looking forward to it. They delivered a good match as expected. 

Great main event with Penelope Pink one of the few who matches up somewhat even with the Beast and can hang for a longer match like this. Awesome looking finish with the super powerbomb.

[Jamal]

Decent opener with the champ and Jessie vs the All American Girls. Knowing WOW, this isn’t the last of Abilene and Jessie.

Really liked the tag match between Chantilly/Holidead vs Chainsaw/Siren. Lots of wild action. And welcome to WOW, Roxy Fierce.

Nice package to highlight the growing issues between Aussie and Krush and liked that both women came in ready to fight. Good back and forth match that felt like they really didn’t like each other. Not surprising that the numbers game took Aussie out though. Top Tier are looking like the team to beat.

Beast/Penelope was what we would expect and it was good to see them get some time as WOW can be skimpy once it comes to the main event of the show. Penelope is definitely WOW’s MVP. I think she has chemistry with almost everyone. And we get a Teri Gold shout out! That Beast Bomb from the top was killer.

[Jamal]

The opening trios match was nice and competitive and probably the best Sugar and Spice have looked yet. Cool to see Stephy on the winning side.

Exodus and Ice Cold were having a pretty decent little match before Genesis inserted herself into things and we got the set up for the triple threat, which should be cool.

Gloria Glitter is just the best. Pep Riley looked pretty good in there with her but poor Team Spirit can't catch a break. lol

The main event was perfectly fine although Samatha Smart once again escapes a beatdown. 

[Cobra Commander]

watching some WOW because i'm gonna rewatch at least some of the Black Saturday DSOTR and Pep Riley is a pretty amazing wordplay ring name

[DreamBroken]

Great trios opener with the best pure babyface trios and best pure heel trios. I was surprised to see the faces win but always nice to see Stephy win one and the Mighty Mights have been impressive. Sad for Lil J though to be taking the falls and potentially getting kicked out of the Brat Pack as she became my fav of the group, but she would probably excel as a face as well.

Exile vs Ice Cold was a weird setup and fun with Genesis' antics. I was hoping Genesis getting the match stopped was going to lead to them reuniting as a unit but instead more in fighting. Reminds me of the same thing they did with IQ Superior that led to GI Jane getting kicked out.

Aussie's unseen partner request had me assuming she went to Tormenta based on who took her to the limit in the past, which could be cool.

Gloria looked good in pretty much squashing Pep. Coach putting the bucket on her head was amusing. Solid basically handicap main event win for Tiki and the Tongas.

And then apparently sometime since then, sadly shit hit the fan somewhere;

The Tonga Twins are pissed about something and have quit WOW.

Spoiler

 

Update: Vickie Lynn McCoy is also done with WOW following the Tonga Twins out, writing

"I wanted everyone to know I am no longer with WOW. 
Speaking up = Released.
Especially after what happened to the @tongatwins, I can no longer be silent. But NOW..... #fuckwow. Exploitation does not = empowerment" 

 

Princess Aussie, Wrecking Ball, & Reina del Rey are standing against the Tongas, accusing them of being let go for bullying and injuring others.

Man this is wild. I've been hoping the mainstream wrestling media started shining some attention on WOW but not like this. Hate to see the wrestlers going at it like this. I will say that the Tonga Twins are not coming off favorably the more they respond 

[Jamal]

Liked the set up on the main with Aussie confronting Reina and Gambino. I was a little confused as I assumed Gambino and Reina would be tagging, not bringing in another mystery partner.

 Animal Instinct make a pretty good team and they had another decent match with the champs.

When Americana came out solo, I knew the jig was up lol Nice match between her and Penelope and I look forward to Penelope getting her hands on Abilene.

Poor Team Spirit. Them girls just need to hang it up at this point lol I thought Ariel would be secretly sabotaging Top Tier but instead she’s gonna be fighting for her freedom with a match against Coach instead and lol at a “freedom match”. You gotta love WOW

Dreambroken called it with the Tormenta reveal as Aussie’s partner. Perfect partner to go up against the likes of Chainsaw and Reina. Wonder if this is a new start for Tormenta.

[Jamal]

Nice promo from Santana to help set up the main event. Acknowledging her past as a former world champion was a nice touch.

The Heavy Metal Sisters vs Spring Break 247 was a good show in contrasting character types and a nice tag match. Sandy Shore is probably one of the more underrated WOW wrestlers and I’ve been a Fury fan forever.

I love that the Exile 3 way began with Exodus and Ice Cold beating up Genesis. It’s what she deserves lol Some really good action and sequences in this match. Pleasantly surprised to hear the crowd behind my girl, Ice Cold.

As expected, a good match between Sweet Heat and the oddball team of Chantilly and Holidead. Love the old school ending with Lana using her purse to help Sweet Heat win.

Main event was some good stuff and of course Abilene and Jessie pull some mess to retain lol Some really nice chemistry between Santana and Abilene. And yea, just where was Americana? Lol

[DreamBroken]

It seems the majority of the roster were standing up for WOW against the Tongas now. The Tonga Twins say they will be making a statement soon.

Last week, my DVR decided not to record so I had to wait for the youtube upload and watch the 'just matches' version. I was surprised to see Animal Instinct get another tag title shot but they continue to look good as a team. Penelope/Americana was good stuff. Coach pretty must destroyed Sasha Sparks.  And the main event delivered with Aussie & Tormenta making a nice team.

Onto this week, Abilene/Santana felt rather out of nowhere but I liked the promo setup for it a lot. Once I saw Jessie Jones was coming out with Abilene, I knew Santana had no chance, but a good match regardless.  Opening tag between Heavy Metal Sisters & Spring Break 247 was a solid somewhat longer match for two more undercard teams. 

the Exile 3 way was short but fun and the finish was sudden. I love Genesis but all 3 are great.

Miami Sweet Heat continue to be the best, their promos are always highly entertaining and their heel work/double teams is always excellent. Another good match with Chantilly & Holidead.
