Athena vs Cherry Bomb

Two phenomenal technical talents square off and those talents are on full display early on. A dazzling variety of standing switches and counters open things up as both wrestlers are forced to innovate as their opponents have seen and can counter just about anything. Some hairpulling and shortcuts are utilized but only in desperation and Headscissors and dueling Dragon Sleepers raise that desperation level. Being equally matched isn’t doing it for one grappler who adds some far less technical moves to her attack. With things going her way she asks “what are you going to do about it?” and the answer is light her up with chops in the corner! Unfortunately the lack of a ref and competitive natures see what could have been a technical classic get far less legal but the talent is still on full display, just with a nastier edge. One wrestler just refuses to learn not to ask questions where the answer involves her taking heavy strikes. In the end one wrester's illegal hold comes ever so close only for her to fall victim to an all-time classic and very legal one!
