Nap Time Is Over!

Yesterday we showed you what happened when G.L.O.R.Y. Girl Rain (accompanied by her friend Jetta) showed up in Berwyn, Illinois, last month for what was supposed to be a SHIMMER match against Canadian wrestler and fellow G.L.O.R.Y. Girl Jennifer Blake. They came to the ring dressed in PJs and proceeded to have a little pajama party/nap time right there in the middle of the ring! Eventually Rain shed her Curious George pajamas and got ready for her match...but apparently she wasn't ready to wrestle. No sooner had the bell rung than Girl Dynamite sent Rain flying with a perfectly executed arm drag takedown [above]. She followed that up with a nice clothesline that flattened her brunette opponent to the mat [Picture #2]. Looks like the nap time that Rain engaged in before the match backfired: it didn't refresh her at all...instead it seemed to make her sleepier and ill-prepared her for the onslaught from the fired-up Blake!

Of course, we all know what Rain does when she finds herself in trouble in the ring. She cheats! The moment that she found an opening she attacked her blonde rival, using the ropes to help apply a violent and vicious choke [ #3]. Jennifer was left on her knees gasping for breath before the referee got the hold broken. But Rain wasn't through using those ropes to do damage. Standing Blake against the corner turnbuckles, the rule-breaking Minnesotan scaled the ropes and got plenty of leverage as she stuffed a boot into her opponent's windpipe and choked away at her once again [ #4].

With her rival sufficiently weakened, Rain went into torture mode. Look at the pain she has Ms. Blake in while she stretches and twists the Canadian's athletic body on the mat [ #5]. Notice Rain's right hand? She's getting ready to chop down into the upper-chest area of her trapped opponent...and with her arms tied-up, there's no way for Jen to do anything but absorb the nasty blows!

Believe it or not, Jennifer Blake was still able to mount a comeback in the match. And when we say mount we mean it literally. For that's exactly what she did when she mounted Rain's shoulders in an attempt to apply a head scissors or possibly even another leg hold. Problem was, Rain managed to get to her feet [ #6]. Now the blonde was in the vulnerable position as she was perched high above the mat. Rain took advantage of the situation as she dropped back and violently slammed Ms. Blake's body to the mat. Arching high...combined with the devastating body blow she just delivered...Rain was able keep the Canadian's shoulders pinned to the mat for the required three count [ #7].
