Hiroyo Matsumoto vs Nikki Storm

Quite a few words are exchanged at the start of this Iron Woman Match. Referee Nikki Roxx has a bit of trouble managing the players before the match even starts, as the ladies argue over everything from the pronunciation of ‘Glasgow’ to which of them is sexier. Ultimately, Hiroyo tries to kick things off with a friendly hug but Nikki will have none of it, pounding on her back like a drum. They exchange Headlocks, armlocks, kneelocks, Wristlocks, back each other into corners. Nikki breaks out her mean streak with vicious chokes, bending Hiroyo’s neck back across the ropes. She maintains control for much of the match, softening Hiroyo up with a range of excruciating moves–from submissions to Armbars to a mat-shaking Snap Suplex. Unfortunately for Nikki, Hiroyo gets a second wind in the last minutes of the match, bending the Scot’s back around the ring post to agonizing effect. A beautifully executed Torture Rack puts an end to the match, prompting some Exorcist-style hissing from the loser!
