Alundra Blayze vs. Bull Nakano
No honorable handshake from Nakano as she kicked the hand away before whipping the champion backwards. Between the quick kicks, finger thrusts and hair mares that had Blayze spinning like a helicopter blade, Nakano had this match going her way. Whipping Alundra into the ropes, Bull’s attempt at a clothesline failed and resulted in her being kicked in the face. Getting a little too kick happy, Blayze became predictable and left herself open to a counter that put Blayze on the mat for some blatant choking off the rear chin lock and when she maneuver Blayze toward the ropes. The champion was prone to the piledriver … that gave Nakano a near fall thanks to Bull willingly stopping the pin!
Why, because she wanted to power bomb Blayze … to gain a two count!
Blayze countered the second power bomb, rolling Bull up for a two count of her own. Blayze was looking for the missile dropkick, but hit nothing but canvas. Bull had Blayze in prime position for the guillotine leg drop. The fans were going wild as Blayze moved and caught Bull in the German suplex … for another near fall!
Blayze scaled the ropes herself, only to be yanked from her perch. Blayze dropkicked the regrouping Nakano as she tried to climb, diving on top of Bull when she got up. The action was going around ringside as Blayze countered a power bomb on the floor via a back body drop. The referee was counting them down and reached the ten count just as Blayze started rolling inside for a double count-out.
Winner: Draw (5:59)
Is It A Classic: While the ending definitely left something to be desired, the action and showcase of what was to come made it a match truly ahead of its time when it came to Americanized women’s wrestling.
