PAGEOT, PWTORCH CONTRIBUTOR<\/h3>\n<p><em>Commentary: Alyssa Marino, Lenny Leonard<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Janai Kai was backstage for a promo but changed her mind and walked off. The camera crew followed her while she headed downstairs. She was angry about being 0-2 in WWA so far and won\u2019t do any promos until she gets on the winning track.<\/p>\n<p>-Opening theme.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(1) TOOTIE LYNN RAMSEY vs. MAZZERATI<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cFuck her up, Tootie\u201d chant from the crowd. Mazzerati bailed to the floor. Ramsey ran the apron for a kick but Mazzerati caught her leg and slammed her onto the apron. Mazzerati used the ropes to work away at Ramsey\u2019s arm. Dragon sleeper from Mazzerati broken up by herself with a shot to Ramsey\u2019s stomach. Suplex and a kick out from Ramsey. Enziguiri from Ramsey. Cross arm breaker. Mazzerati with the rope break. Roll-up and a handful of tights for the win.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Mazzerati in 8:09.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: Mazzerati picks up her first win in an okay match. Both women have strong looks but nothing in the way of established characters per se. Mazzerati is a heel and calls herself \u201cthe female with attitude.\u201d Ramsey calls herself a little blue dragon. Neither of those really tells you anything specific. Ramsey now joins Janai Kai and Laynie Luck at 0-2 in a three-way tie for the worst records in WWA.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Laynie Luck was backstage. Tonight she faces a cute little girl called Cosmic. Ain\u2019t no way she\u2019s going to let a green girl get a win over her.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3258821382\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>(2) LAYNIE LUCK vs. COSMIC<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cosmic yanked Luck to the mat by her hair. A suplex and springboard arm drag from Luck sent Cosmic to the floor. STF from Luck. Cosmic freed herself with an eye rake. Powerslam from Cosmic for a near-fall. Luck with a flying clothesline. Dropkick from the second rope for two. Powerslam driver from Cosmic for two. Uni-Cutter from Luck for the pin.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Laynie Luck in 7:36.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: Luck picks up her first win in WWA, while Cosmic replaces her at the bottom of the pile. Cosmic, Ramsey, and Kai now sit at 0-2 with our main event of this episode determining whether Kai will fall further to 0-3 or pick up her first win.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Alisha Edwards was backstage with Amy Rose. Rose was mute but visibly put out at having to do this pointless segment. Edwards tried tickling her into talking, which prompted Rose to go off on her in Spanish. \u201cEw! What the hell did she just say?\u201d was Edwards\u2019 response.<\/p>\n<p>-Elsewhere backstage Laynie Luck was overjoyed at getting her first win. She took two L\u2019s but she turned those L\u2019s into a W.<\/p>\n<p>-Sit-down interview with Gia Scott. \u201cThe character of Gia Scott\u201d comes from what she wasn\u2019t able to express as a kid. She always had to be the big sister, the good friend, the good daughter. Some it comes from having a hard life, so you have to do it yourself.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: It\u2019s always a dangerous line to tread in pro wrestling to have someone admit on the show itself that they\u2019re playing a character. It\u2019s one step away from having a heel complain about being booked to lose.)<\/em><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-532912597\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>(3) JANAI KAI vs. GIA SCOTT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lock-up. Scott powered Kai to the mat. Kai kipped up and caught her with a dropkick. Scott caught a kick attempt and hit a sit-out spinebuster. Spear in the corner. Scott wrapped Kai\u2019s knee around the bottom rope and worked to ground her. Single-leg crab. Kai fired up with a clothesline and kick to the jaw. Scott with a kick of her own and a double-arm DDT. Dragon sleeper from Kai. TKO from Scott. Tornado kick from Kai. Scott very visibly got her hands up but it was good enough.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Janai Kai in 10:53.<\/p>\n<p>-Backstage with Kai. Her career in WWA didn\u2019t start too hot but it\u2019s not about how you start, it\u2019s how you finish. She isn\u2019t finished yet.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: We shouldn\u2019t overlook how much representation WWA\u2019s roster has already at this early stage. Of the 14 wrestlers who have appeared on more than one episode, eight of those women are black while the Dominican Marti Belle is also at the top of that list.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Kai picks up her first win, the theme of this episode. Somewhat of a filler episode with all midcarders in action and nothing announced for next week. Ramsey and Cosmic (0-2 each) now hold the worst records in WWA while the best (2-0 each) belong to Holidead, Deonna Purrazzo, and Queen Aminata. We\u2019ve now had 30 different wrestlers featured in WWA matches this year, only one fewer than on NXT.)<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-914525727\"><div id=\"pwtor-529310894\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>WWA EPISODE 9 AUGUST 14, 2022 AIRED AT BRANDARMY.COM\/WOMENSWRESTLINGARMY REPORT BY HARLEY R.
