Cruisin' For A Bruisin'
POWW was in action this past weekend featuring a great women's match-up between G.L.O.R.Y. Girl Mia Martinez (above) and Melanie Cruise. (Who, according to photographer Rob Myers' email, "should be on Glory!"). The height disparity between these two ladies was apparent as soon as they stepped in the ring. You can see it below as Martinez applies a hammerlock on Cruise (Picture #2). Mia's hold wouldn't appear to be very effective due to the fact that she doesn't seem to have enough height on her side to really leverage that arm. It wasn't long before Cruise put that size differential to good use. A big boot to the throat (#3) followed by a bodyslam of La Chica Diamonte (#4) had the G.L.O.R.Y. Girl in trouble.
But Mia fought back valiantly, slugging it out with Cruise on the mat (#5) and even coming close to getting a match-ending pin (#6). Unfortunately, Cruise not only had her size going for her, but also the fact that she has no regard for the rules of the ring. After managing a quick reversal, she decided to take whatever shortcut she needed to come away with the win. Thus, the illegal use of the ring ropes during a matchbook pin (#7) to secure the victory.
Oh...and a note for Rob: Ms. Cruise is currently among the dozen ladies who are prepared to make their debut here on G.L.O.R.Y. over the next few weeks!
