An Awesome Fight With The Cheerleader
Thanks to Ed Darcey, we've been able to experience this past weekend's JAPW women's event in Rahway, New Jersey, through his pictures and commentary in our daily PODs. Today, Ed fills us in on Saturday's main event: G.L.O.R.Y. Girl Cheerleader Melissa vs. Awesome Kong!
The main event at JAPW's women's show, though it was the penultimate match, was Sara del Ray vs. Awesome Kong. Ms. Del Ray approached the formidable task at hand with all the tenacity and fire one would expect from the ferocious competitor she is.
Sara, after an initial lock up, chose to forgo matching power with Kong and started using her leg strength, peppering the big gal with kicks and dropkicks. Kong fought back, catching Del Ray with a spinning fist to Sara's face, sending her crashing into the corner, prone on the mat. The Awesome one then resorted to using the ropes to choke her opponent. Having softened up the G.L.O.R.Y. Girl, Kong went for the Awesome Bomb, but twice del Ray was able to escape. Frustrated, Kong knocked Sara to the mat and hit a big splash, fully expecting that to finish her. But del Ray kicked out!
Returning to her game plan of kicks, Sara stunned Kong enough to capture her in the Royal Butterfly. As she was about to be pinned, Kong's manager, Raisha Saeed, attempted to make the save, jumping into the ring and bringing a chair with her. Missing del Ray, Saeed hit Kong instead, laying her out and allowing Sara to get the pin, which she probably would have gotten earlier if not for Raisha's interference.
Truly an "awesome" match between two most accomplished competitors!
