20th Anniversary Celebration Grudge Match: Pippa L’Vinn v Shelby Beach
A special presentation was made to both Pippa and Shelby in the ring before the contest, in honor of the 20 year association with the PGWA. Now, two decades on both ladies still look as fabulous as ever.
Pippa wearing a dark blue swimsuit opposed her great rival, who was attired in a purple costume. This was a one fall grudge match with old school rules.
Now it was down to business; Pippa cleverly deceived Shelby from the opening bell, faking a high reach by going low and tumbling the blonde to the canvas, using Shelby’s left arm and leg simultaneously as the points of attack.
Pippa compounded the hold with arm bars and vicious twists of the wrist. Shelby used Pippa’s agile movement to her own advantage, enabling her to toss Pippa over her left shoulder; an incredible reversal. Pippa was kept down by the aid of a severe wrist lock; twisting her legs and bridging unsuccessfully as Shelby sought to take control of the bout. Pippa countered well, bouncing Shelby off the ropes and throwing a clothes line into the mix, then, beckoning the crowd for an acknowledgment of her excellence.
Shelby used her initiative to full effect and caught Pippa unaware, rolling her up for a near pin. Both wrestlers were now beginning to shine; their full repertoire and expertise being demonstrated admirably with a succession of classic holds and moves with Pippa screaming to the mesmerized crowd: “Old school baby !”. Both ladies made full use of the ring as they grappled for supremacy in this special match.
Clear determination was visible as neither wanted to lose the contest. Time and again the audience expressed their appreciation of the classic exchanges being displayed before them. Pippa once again attempted to dominate the proceedings, working intensely on Shelby’s arms and elbows before she was able to grab the rope to release the hold.
Shelby spectacularly span around in the air, using the top rope, kicking out at Pippa’s leg which crashed her to the floor in pain.
Now it was Shelby’s turn to show her prowess, tossing Pippa in the air and into the corner of the ring. Pippa was taking severe punishment with the referee having to check she was OK. Shelby, following up, was then dealt a crunching low blow which brought howls of pain, shared by the crowd as they appreciated the severity of her discomfort.
With Shelby disorientated in the turnbuckle; Pippa indicated that the end was near for her rival. A spectacular waist suplex brought Shelby crashing down as Pippa came close to victory with a 2 count. Shelby counteracted with 2 slaps followed by a full nelson before Pippa was dropped down and clamped with a waist lock scissor hold. Pippa, not to be outdone, responded with a low blow from her knee, much to Shelby’s disapproval. Seeking further punishment, Pippa rolled Shelby up and used a discreet crotch hold and claw before Shelby kicked out.
The action continued at a manic pace. Neither wrestler was showing any signs of faltering and their energy and enthusiasm was to be greatly admired.
Who eventually wins this epic battle of classic wrestling ???
