Renee Michelle vs Shazza McKenzie

Chelsea Durden applies the rules as only she can in this first to 5 Falls Match. Renee and Shazza go chest-to-chest in a fingerlock test of strength for a sporting start. The early exchange of holds and reversals eventually leads to the Aussie trapping Renee in a rolling bodyscissors that puts Michelle’s shoulders to the mat for the first 3 count! Renee claims Shazza held the ropes (she did) but the ref was too focused on the shoulders to see it. Much of the mutual goodwill fades away during the Second Fall as Renee buries Shazza in the corner with shoulderblocks and a boot choke. She numbs Shazza up with 10 turnbuckle smashes before locking a dazed Shazza in a bodyscissors to secure a tight pin. The tone is set as both wrestlers are quick to capitalize on their opponent’s mistakes, turning Suplexes into inside cradles and scoring near falls with small packages and roll-ups. The tight match heads into the final fall tied at four apiece and ends with a spectacular Sunset Flip leaving the devastated loser slack-jawed in disbelief over the result.
