PAGEOT, PWTORCH CONTRIBUTOR<\/h3>\n<p><em>Commentary: Alyssa Marino, Lenny Leonard<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Mazzerati was backstage, doing her makeup. Tasha Steelz showed up and criticized her foundation. Mazzerati didn\u2019t appreciate the tips. Steelz knocked all her cosmetics on the ground. Mazzerati got in her face. Steelz laughed and walked away.<\/p>\n<p>-Opening theme.<\/p>\n<p>-Sit-down with Allie Recks. She said her size is an advantage. Her opponents think because she\u2019s smaller, they can take advantage but she\u2019s smarter and faster. She competed for ROH last year and has torn her ACL in her left knee three times.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(1) ALLIE RECKS vs. MISSA KATE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Even back and forth in the opening minutes with Kate firmly positioned as the heel. Kate yanked Recks into the turnbuckle to gain the advantage. Recks mounted Kate and clubbed away with forearms. Stereo kicks left both women down. Recks matrixed under a clothesline from Kate and hit a 619. Kate threw her back into the corner and hit running knees for a two-count. Recks with a codebreaker but Kate kicked out. Kate caught a crossbody and hit a side slam? No, apparently it was a flatliner from Recks.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Allie Recks in 8:58.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: This was the WWA debut for both women. I\u2019ll admit I\u2019m not familiar with either. When Recks said she competed for ROH last year, I had to look it up to confirm because I have zero recollection of that. She showed a lot of fire here, though. The name \u201cMissa Kate\u201d made me expect a posh upper crust woman but she\u2019s the complete opposite in graffiti sweatpants and a tomboy hip-hop look. We\u2019ve now had 32 different women compete in WWA these past three months. That\u2019s the same number that have competed on all of NXT television this year.)<\/em><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3092418231\" 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) ASHLEY D\u2019AMBOISE vs. LAYNA LENNOX<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lennox ran into the corner and attempted to flip over the top rope onto the apron but couldn\u2019t make it. Instead she awkwardly dropped back down and they continued. The commentators tried to frame D\u2019Amboise as the heel but the crowd seemed to be on her side. Lennox fired up and hit a spinebuster but D\u2019Amboise kicked out. Northern lights suplex but she kicked out again. Rock Bottom from D\u2019Amboise for the pin.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Ashley D\u2019Amboise in 6:13.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: D\u2019Amboise now joins Deonna Purrazzo, Holidead, and Queen Aminata at 2-0, which remains the best record in WWA.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Backstage with Allie Recks. She said that opening contest was her first match back from injury and her first win in WWA. She\u2019s not going anywhere.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(3) TASHA STEELZ vs. MAZZERATI<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a heel vs. heel main event this week. Mazzerati posed while Steelz killed time and ran down her r\u00e9sum\u00e9. They finally locked up two and a half minutes into the match. Leglock, headlock, repeat. Mazzerati slapped Steelz and followed with some jumping jacks. Steelz pulled her throat-first across the top rope. Chinlock. Pump-kick but Mazzerati kicked out. Mazzerati went on a brief run before Steelz tapped her out with a ground abdominal stretch.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Tasha Steelz in 12:26.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2924247420\" 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>-Handshake offered from Steelz and accepted.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: Mazzerati has been the heel in her previous two WWA appearances, including beating Tootie Lynn Ramsey with a handful of tights last time. Steelz is the consummate heel in Impact and opened tonight by criticizing her opponent\u2019s makeup, unprovoked. Odd framing around this one when they could have simply reframed that segment to put the sympathy on Steelz for a light one-match babyface turn. The crowd was vocally behind her.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This was a bit of a snoozer of an episode. A continuing problem is that each match feels like it takes place in a vacuum, unrelated to all the others around it. We don\u2019t get even the barest of storyline builds like people scouting opponents during their matches or talking shit about other people backstage. Every promo has an \u201cI\u2019m just so happy to be here!\u201d vibe.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Steelz now joins Purrazzo, Holidead, Aminata, and D\u2019Amboise at 2-0. Statistically speaking, that is your WWA main event picture going forward.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Next week: it\u2019s Holidead vs. Alisha Edwards for the MPW Championship.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1261668261\"><div id=\"pwtor-1304147489\"><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 11: BRINGING THE FLAVA AUGUST 31, 2022 AIRED ON PRO WRESTLING TV REPORT BY HARLEY R.
