DVD Review WSU No Limits – August 22, 2009 – Boonton
Elks Lodge, Boonton, NJ
Available at WSUWrestling.com
The DVD starts off with a promo by Jana talking about Latasha taking what
was hers and the two choices she has of either laying down and letting
Jana take her championship of getting a severe beat down.
Latasha, with her Spirit title, responds to Jana’s threats.
Rick Cataldo invites the viewers to his wedding shower. Why? I don’t
know.
Brooke Carter introduces her new partner, Alicia, and talks about their
match tonight with Rain and Angel Orsini.
Roxxie Cotton talks about her match with Amber later tonight. At least
I think that’s what she was talking about.
Amber is up next talking about her match with Roxxie.
The first match is a #1 Contenders Match for the Spirit Title featuring
Amber vs. Roxie Cotton.
Amber dominated the opening minutes of the match but Roxxie soon gained
the upper hand. The two then battled back and forth until Amber blocked
a Mafia kick and countered with an enziguri for the three count. After
the match, Rick Cataldo entered the ring and smashed Roxxie’s face
into the mat before choking her with his scarf. Annie Social hit the ring
to make the save. Annie and Roxxie got on the mic and I think Roxxie challenged
Rick to a loser leaves WSU match (the audio was hard to hear). A decent
match overall (one of the better ones I have seen Roxxie have) but I am
not a fan of men vs women matches or men in general on a “Women’s”
show.
Next up, Amber O’Neal makes her WSU debut against Annie Social. Amber
immediately gains the advantage with some stomps and chops to Annie. Annie
counters but Amber immediately rolls to the ringside floor to avoid Annie.
Social eventually pulls Amber back in, by her hair, and starts to dominate.
The two women exchange shots and submission moves for the next few minutes.
Amber with a backslide into a bridge for a beautiful pinfall. Amber the
runs from the ring, looking shocked that she won.
Havok and Hatred (Jessicka and Hailey) enter the ring and explain how
their scheduled opponents aren’t available so they are issuing an
open challenge to anybody in the back. Enter Cindy Rogers. Rogers was
making her return after an injury and introduced her partner, making her
WSU debut, the “Portuguese Princess” Ariel! Cindy and Ariel
with lots of offense and lots of tags before Havok and Hatred began double
teaming and gained the advantage. Havok and Hatred with a double suplex
on Rogers. Ariel and Hatred roll to the floor and Havok with a faceplant
on Rogers for the three count.
Kylie Pierce and Lea Morrison enter the ring. Kylie got on the mic. The
audio was hard to hear and the two commentators talking over her didn’t
help much. It turns out Kylie is mad because Lea got a shot in the Spirit
tournament and didn’t give her spot to Kylie. Kylie attacks Lea but
Lea fights back, causing Kylie to roll out of the ring. I guess the match
is on! The two women begin to brawl at ringside until Kyle brings the
fight back into the ring. Lea is able to mount a little (very little)
offense before Kylie hits a pumphandle slam for the win.
Next up is a WSU Spirit Title Match between the champion, Latasha and
Jana. The two used to tag as the “Soul Sisters” but their subsequent
feud led up to Latasha defeating Jana to win the Spirit title. Now, Jana
wants revenge and the title. Jana attacks as Latasha is entering the ring
but Latasha catches her. The fight spills out of the ring and into the
locker room and out the side door to the parking lot. The two reenter
the building, using the front door, and Jana pushes Latasha into the ring
post head first. Both women are down, exhausted on the floor. They make
their way back into the ring where Jana goes for the Jana Vice but Latasha
rolls her up with a small package for the victory.
Missy’s Manor Presents The Wedding Shower of Ref Hanson and Rick
Cataldo. I don’t think I need to give my opinions of using men on
a “Women’s” wrestling show yet again, so I won’t.
This segment lasted nearly 15 minutes. That’s longer than any match
on the DVD thus far. The sound is almost inaudible, which makes a segment
like this almost worthless on a DVD unless you can read lips or enjoy
mimes. The crowd started doing the “Na na na na goodbye” chant
but, since I couldn’t hear what was being said, I have no idea who
was leaving. Boring chants soon followed. VERY long story short…
Loser Leaves WSU between Cataldo and Roxxie at the next show and Missy
Sampson against Hanson.
Next up is the WSU Tag Team Title match. The challengers, Angel Orsini
and Rain take on the champions, Alicia and Brooke Carter. Both teams battled
back and forth. Brooke looked out of place in the ring with three women
that have so much experience. Brooke took most of the punishment as Rain
and Angel took turns in the ring against her. When Alicia finally made
the tag she accidentally clotheslined the ref. Rain brought in a steel
chair and told Angel to use it on Brooke. Angel refused so Rain used the
chair on Brooke just in time for the ref to see it and call for the disqualification.
The main event was a No Time Limit WSU Championship match between Mercedes
Martinez and challenger Nikki Roxx. The match lasted close to 35 minutes
and was exactly what would be expected from two of the best women in the
sport today. No need giving the blow by blow breakdown. I suggest you
just watch it for yourself and see how it is supposed to be done. Post
match, Mercedes and Nikki hug only to be attacked by Rain and Angel Orsini.
Mercedes then challenges them to a tag match against her and Nikki at
the next show.
The DVD concludes with post show promos by Jana, Kylie Pierce, Alicia
and Brooke Carter, Annie Social and Roxxie Cotton, Amber, and Jassica
Havock and Hailey Hatred.
With the exception of the Missy's Manor segment the dvd was quite enjoyable. The matches were all solid and the main event stole the show.
