PAGEOT, PWTORCH CONTRIBUTOR<\/h3>\n<p><em>Commentary: Alyssa Marino, Sam Leterna<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Missa Kate was seated backstage, looking at her phone, when Maria Kanellis-Bennet walked up and sat down next to her. Kanellis said she heard about Kate seemingly trying to steal Brooke Valentine\u2019s bag last week. If she can\u2019t treat people with respect, she\u2019s not welcome here. Kate said she was just trying to have some fun. Kanellis booked her vs. Valentine tonight. \u201cHave fun!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>-Opening theme.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(1) BROOKE VALENTINE vs. MISSA KATE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Commentary put over Kate being a menace backstage. Valentine mentioned pre-bell that it was her birthday. The crowd chanted \u201chappy birthday\u201d briefly but Kate shut it down with \u201cEverybody\u2019s got one.\u201d Kate spat her gum at Valentine early on before bailing to ringside to do jumping jacks and push-ups. Valentine unloaded with slaps to the chest. She worked over Kate, leveling her with a cannonball in the corner. A chop-block to Valentine\u2019s injured knee took her down. Kate clubbed Valentine\u2019s knee across the ring apron. Kate avoided a leg drop, which added to Valentine\u2019s pain. Kate wrapped her leg around the ring post. Kate with a half-crab variant. Big slam from Valentine but Kate kicked out. Discus forearm for another two. Kate avoided a charging Valentine and connected with a roundhouse kick but Valentine\u2019s leg was under the rope to prevent the three. Kate drove Valentine face-first into the turnbuckle but she kicked out again.<\/p>\n<p>Valentine fired up and threw a right hand but Kate dodged again and the ref crumpled. Kate got another roundhouse but there was no one to count the pin. Kate pulled a folding chair out from under the ring and waited for Valentine to stand. Valentine collapsed into the ropes and tried to talk her down. Kate put the chair around her head and lay down on the mat. Valentine knew she\u2019d be disqualified for the Eddie Guerrero homage and hurried to pull it off her. The referee woke to see Valentine with chair in hand, wrapped around Kate\u2019s neck. He called for the bell.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Missa Kate in 15:03 via disqualification.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: Surprisingly long for two wrestlers so young in their career but they held their own and kept the crowd\u2019s interest. I don\u2019t know if I\u2019ve ever seen Valentine wrestle this babyface so far. She played the sympathy role throughout and was all smiles during her entrance, channeling the vibes of her occasional tag partner Willow Nightingale. Kate is one of the names that I was not familiar with at all prior to her appearances on the WWA roster. She definitely has something and the menace character has the potential to help her channel her energy in a specific direction. The gum + the exercise routine at ringside + teasing fan high-fives before pulling away had her a little all over the place in attempts to get heat. I think as she finds her lane, it will come together more naturally. The creative finish would seem to prolong things. I\u2019m definitely in favor of some longer feuds in WWA so running this one back sounds great to me.)<\/em><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-581436816\" 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>-Gabby LaSpisa was with Kayla Sparks on the interview set. Sparks started wrestling at age 13, the only girl in the school. She was away for six years but she\u2019s back now and excited to be here.<\/p>\n<p>-Holidead was a guest on commentary for the next match. Onyx was introduced as being \u201cfrom the spider\u2019s web\u201d, which Holidead was intrigued by.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(2) KAYLA SPARKS vs. BLAIR ONYX<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Both women were smiley and shook hands. Onyx asked for a test of strength and wound up taking control as things settled in. When she grabbed a handful of Sparks\u2019 hair, Holidead gave her approval. Sparks mounted a comeback at 5:30 and got her first near-fall. The Spider Bite out of nowhere for the win.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Blair Onyx in 6:50.<\/p>\n<p>-Onyx offered a handshake again.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: Onyx was hard to read here. She shook hands before and after but Holidead was ragging on Sparks for smiling too much and loved the one or two times Onyx did something a little gray, like grabbing Sparks\u2019 hair. One would think this is leading to an Onyx vs. Holidead match, though it also has seeds planted for a potential full heel turn from Onyx and a new partnership with Holidead instead. I think I prefer the latter. A nice three- or four-person stable could really stand out in WWA right now and having it be Holidead and her creepy goth friends works for me.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Missa Kate was backstage, laughing over her win. She pointed out that Valentine\u2019s the one who hit the referee. She lost because she\u2019s a loser.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2260339609\" 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>-Elsewhere backstage Valentine had to give it to Kate. Valentine ran through how she lost her nickname, she hurt her knee, and now this. All she can do is laugh.<\/p>\n<p>-On the interview set, LaSpisa was with Ashley D\u2019Amboise. She alternated between French and English and said she\u2019d unload on Allysin Kay.<\/p>\n<p>-Cameras caught up with Blair Onyx. She just picked up her first WWA win. Want to know why? Because she\u2019s a spider and everyone else has arachnophobia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(3) ALLYSIN KAY vs. ASHLEY D\u2019AMBOISE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lock-up. They traded side headlocks and takedowns. Kay wrapped D\u2019Amboise around her back in a submission. D\u2019Amboise took over and started wearing down Kay. She wrapped Kay\u2019s arm around the rope until the referee called her off. D\u2019Amboise stopped to mouth off to the crowd, which let Kay catch her with a schoolgirl. Kay caught a crossbody and dropped D\u2019Amboise with a gutbuster. D\u2019Amboise scurried to ringside. A double clothesline put both women down at 8:00. Kay went on a roll but D\u2019Amboise dropped her across the top rope. Jumping neckbreaker but Kay kicked out. They avoided signature moves from one another. Kay went for a flash pin but D\u2019Amboise pinned her instead.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Ashley D\u2019Amboise in 10:48.<\/p>\n<p>-Cameras caught up with D\u2019Amboise backstage. Of course she won. She showed off her new t-shirt, now on sale.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: Kay has the name value that a win over her does mean something, but she\u2019s mostly a tag wrestler these days so a loss doesn\u2019t hurt her all that much either. This marked D\u2019Amboise\u2019s fourth WWA match, which remains the record. Six other women have also wrestled four times but no one\u2019s hit five yet. At 3-1 she has one of the better records in the company with only Holidead and Tasha Steelz really better, at 3-0 a piece. Where she goes from here is unclear. She seems groomed for bigger things but there\u2019s no real strong babyface standing in her way.)<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1155831274\"><div id=\"pwtor-1108762725\"><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 24: SIGHTS SET HIGH NOVEMBER 30, 2022 AIRED ON PRO WRESTLING TV REPORT BY HARLEY R.
