Poor Athena?
When Athena arrived in Trenton, Tennessee, last Sunday to do battle for MLW, she probably didn't think the day would end up being so painful for her. In two matches against Josianne and Taylor Made, Athena absorbed some nasty punishment that would have incapacitated a lesser wrestler.
In her match against Taylor Made, Athena was mercilessly choked from behind [above] with a forearm across the windpipe. Later in the match, a frustrated Made simply lashed out with a stinging slap across the face of her enemy...sending Athena across the ring and down to the mat [Picture #2].
It didn't get any better for Athena in a follow-up match against Josianne. The abuse dished out by the Canadian started almost immediately when she dropped a knee across the throat of the downed U.S. grappler [ #3]. Then, if you can believe it, Josianne got even more vicious! Take a look as she first attempts to gouge Athena's eyes out [ #4]. More? While keeping her victim's arms trapped between her own legs, Josianne next tries to rip Athena's face apart as she fish hooks the corners of the mouth and pulls back hard [ #5]. Now THAT looks painful!
Poor, poor Athena. Why was she the recipient of such nasty destruction in the MLW ring? Well, maybe she wasn't just an unlucky victim after all. Check back tomorrow...
