What Happened To Poor Roxie?!
Sometimes we question Roxie's judgement when it comes to some of the decisions she makes about her wrestling career. This past weekend was one of those times. Obviously, when the match ends and you're left flat on your back, spread eagle and out cold...something didn't go right. So it was for Roxie at this past weekend's WPW show in Reading, Pennsylvania.
Turns out that the lack of judgement on Roxie's part came when she agreed to face Debbie Sue for the WPW Women's Title. We're not questioning Roxie's bravery....she's proved over and over that she's got plenty. But we do think she made a big mistake agreeing to take on an opponent who was so much bigger. Roxie may have also realized that she made a mistake early in the match when she tried to apply a bearhug to Debbie Sue (below). Sorry, Roxie. That ain't gonna work! It turned bad for Cotton when her overalls-clad opponent backed her hard into the corner...crushing her against the turnbuckles and driving the air out of her body. But it did get worse. Much worse...
Roxie never really recovered from the crushing blow in the corner. Before long, Roxie was on her back and defenseless...defenseless to roll out of the way as Debbie Sue came off the ropes and annihilated her with a big, BIG bodysplash. It was a simple matter for the country girl to hook the leg and get the three count. Problem was, Debbie Sue wasn't finished. Poor Roxie...already devastated from one crushing splash...was flattened one more time by the body of her much-larger opponent.
Roxie's head may have thought that accepting this match was a good idea, but her ribs definitely have to be telling her that it was huge mistake!
