May 12 was the date, and Adrian's LA Cafe was the place for the all women's promotion "Starr Girls" second live card. And it did not disappoint! Although a snafu with the ring's arrival caused a short delay. Jamie P. of VIP Pro Wrestling, and a crew of helpers, got the replacement ring up in record time.
Legendary manager Percival A. Friend, was the announcer for the evening, and did an excellent job, both announcing, and confronting Starr Girl's general manager (and certified life coach) Buddy D. Wolfe for his "shenanigans."
First up was a tag match featuring Amanda Ruffen and Little Naughty taking on the team of Sybil Starr, and Ruby Nesque. This was won by Ruffen and Little Naughty, who successfully kept the veteran, Sybil Starr, out of the ring so they could pick apart newcomer Ruby N... Afterwards Little Naughty taunted Sybil.
Sybil demanded a one-on one match with Little Naughty. Naughty was quick to agree, vowing to punish Starr.
Second match saw Betty Battles take on Amanda Ruffen. In a mild upset the rookie pinned the more experienced Ruffen.
Next up was a battle royal to determine a challenger for Sin-D's Starr Girls championship. Buddy D. Wolfe came out with the contingent of Amanda Ruffen, Little Naughty, and making her Starr Girls' debut, the legendary, Lady Victoria. Buddy insisted that announcer Friend introduce him as "Mr. Buddy D. Wolfe, General Manager of Starr Girls, and certified Life Coach."
Also in the contest were Sybil Starr, Betty Battles, and Ruby Nesque. The order of elimination was: Amanda, then Little Naughty, followed by Sybil Starr. This left Betty B. alone in the ring with the fearsome Lady Victoria. After a spirited encounter that included, according to some fans, Buddy whacking Betty with his "Book Of Wisdom," Betty seemed to have scored a major upset when Lady V. accidentally put herself over the ropes!
However, a furious Buddy D. demanded that Lady Victoria be declared the winner as Betty was not under contract! An equally furious Percival A. Friend told Wolfe that he was going to call the commission to have Buddy's ruling overturned. While these two worthies seemed on the point of combustion. It was time for an intermission. During the intermission the wrestlers mingled with the fans and posed for photos.
After the break, it was announced that Percival Friend had reached commissioner Kaye Fabian who had ruled, over Buddy's strong objection, that Lady Victoria and Betty Battles, would meet in a one-on-one match to determine who would challenge Sin-D for the SG title.
The veteran Lady Victoria proved too strong for her rookie foe, and despite Betty's best efforts, Ms. Battles was soon eliminated. This cleared the way for the title match.
But first, there was the matter of the grudge match between Sybil Starr, and Little Naughty. Once again experience won out as Ms. Naughty submitted to one of Ms. Starr's favorite holds--the dragon choke.
Now it was time for the main event of the evening, with the coveted Starr Girls title on the line. First out was Lady Victoria, accompanied by Buddy D. Wolfe. Percival Friend was so furious he could barely get their names out. Now it was time for the lovely, and determined Sin-D to enter the ring to thunderous applause. the steely glint in her eyes showed she had no intention of losing her title.
It was the kind of war you would expect from these two warriors. They exchanged holds, and counter holds at a rapid pace. The contest seemed to go one way, and then the other. Buddy took advantage of every opportunity to interfere on his client's behalf, ignoring the referee's threat of disqualification!
In the end though it was a thunderous two handed choke slam by Lady Victoria, that ended Sin-D 's year long title reign. As Buddy and Lady Victoria celebrated, announcer Percival Friend fumed, and could barely bring himself to announce the title change.
The real winners were the fans who, hoarse from cheering their favorites, and booing the heels, streamed out into the Michigan night.
The Starr Girls will return to the same venue on July 12th to advance their mission of "empowering girls and women by encouraging their participation in all the martial arts."
