PAGEOT, PWTORCH CONTRIBUTOR<\/h3>\n<p><em>Commentary: Alyssa Marino, Lenny Leonard<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Opening theme.<\/p>\n<p>-Gia Scott was out first, showing no signs of distress after losing in last week\u2019s main event. Her opponent was Laynie Luck, who picked up her first win last week to move to a 1-2 record.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(1) LAYNIE LUCK vs. GIA SCOTT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Luck took Scott to the mat with an arm wrench. Snapmare and a leg lock allowed Luck to catch Scott with a couple pin attempts. Scott took over and hit two shoulder blocks in the corner. Step-up senton from Luck. She eventually hit her Death Valley Party but Scott kicked out. Scott set up for an electric chair drop but Luck rolled into a STF. Scott broke free and hit a ripcord spinebuster. Kick-out from Luck. Double arm DDT but Luck kicked out again. Uni-Cutter from Luck for the win.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Laynie Luck in 9:32.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: Luck continues her momentum from last week and now holds the record for most WWA matches at 4. Both women looked good here and just need some character work. We don\u2019t really know anything about either of them and WWA overall has been pretty slight in terms of week-to-week storytelling. I gave it a pass in the early days but we\u2019re ten episodes and three months in now. I want to feel an emotional investment in who wins and loses and a sense that these contests have repercussions.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Alisha Edwards was backstage with Jordan Blade. Edwards asked about Blade\u2019s nickname \u201cThe Submission Sniper.\u201d Blade clarified she has a double blue belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Edwards volunteered to let Blade choke her out, which she did.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2752732208\" 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>-Elsewhere, Laynie Luck addressed Gia Scott. She didn\u2019t know if she could continue her momentum from last week but credited the fans for helping her. She lay down on the floor to rest.<\/p>\n<p>-Sit-down with LuFisto. She\u2019s been wrestling for 25 years. She\u2019s questioned that dedication sometimes but she loves professional wrestling. The butterflies are still there. The love is still there. As long as she can continue to make fans happy, she\u2019ll keep going. She put over WWA for their professionalism and was excited to keep learning from the younger women in the locker room.<\/p>\n<p>-In the arena, Amy Rose was out of the curtain, followed by Max The Impaler.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(2) LUFISTO vs. MAX THE IMPALER (w\/ Amy Rose)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At the sound of the bell, both wrestlers charged each other. LuFisto low-bridged Max to the floor and leveled them with a cannonball off the apron. They traded chops. LuFisto whipped into the apron and body slammed onto the hardwood floor. Max dragged LuFisto around the ringside area by the hair.<\/p>\n<p>Rose handed a steel chair to Max. The referee managed to get it away from them but then LuFisto stole it from him and set it up on the floor. A drop toe-hold sent Max face-first into the seat. LuFisto sat Max in the chair and hit a running dropkick that toppled them over. As the ref checked on Max, Rose raked the back of LuFisto. Max threw LuFisto back into the ring.<\/p>\n<p>Rose choked LuFisto on the rope behind the ref\u2019s back. Backbreaker to LuFisto. Vulcan nerve pinch from Max. LuFisto with a headbutt to the chest. Samoan drop from Max. LuFisto dodged a charging Max and they went shoulder-first into the ring post. Cannonball from LuFisto to Max seated in the corner.<\/p>\n<p>As the referee tried to separate the wrestlers in the corner, Max turned and put him down with a forearm. Another referee instantly appeared in the ring but LuFisto chose to take him out with a lariat for some reason. Double clothesline and both wrestlers wound up on the floor. They continued to brawl at ringside until the bell rang.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-904305170\" 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>DECISION: No contest in 10:28.<\/p>\n<p>-All the wrestlers and coaches emptied out to separate Max and LuFisto. Rose ushered Max backstage while a group of wrestlers held back LuFisto.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: A fun monster vs. monster brawl that the crowd was hot for. Follow-up is key. If this was the final chapter of their rivalry, that will be a disappointing finish. If it\u2019s merely the next chapter ahead of the two of them meeting in a gimmick match, then we\u2019ve got something here. Steel cage? Lumberjill? Street fight? Falls count anywhere? Any of those would make sense at this point and would be a marquee match for a future WWA taping.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Speaking of, it\u2019s unclear how many episodes are left from this Chicago taping but the next set of tapings scheduled for September 9 and 10 appear to have been cancelled as talent booked for those dates began reaching out to other promotions this week. There\u2019s been no word from WWA through social media and the dates are still listed on their website. Hopefully it\u2019s just a postponement and not a sign that our burgeoning promotion is in trouble already.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Next week: Tasha Steelz vs. Mazzerati, Ashley D\u2019Amboise vs. Layna Lennox, and Missa Kate vs. Allie Recks.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2566210488\"><div id=\"pwtor-555262842\"><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 10: INTO THE WASTELAND AUGUST 24, 2022 AIRED ON PRO WRESTLING TV REPORT BY HARLEY R.
