Detailed Report & Pictures from ACW (Featuring 10,000 Tacks Match & Dog Collar Match)

Diva Dirt reader Brandon sent along his report from the Anarchy Championship Wrestling show last night, which featured a huge 10,000 Tacks Match between Athena and Rachel Summerlyn. Later, Lady Poison defeated Portia Perez to become the new ACW American Joshi Champion in a Dog Collar Match.

Check out his report and pictures below:

Athena vs. Rachel Summerlyn – 10,000 Thumbtacks Match. HOLY S%#$!!!!! You talk about the Daffney taking crazy bumps. Well after seeing this match, You can do nothing else but to condole these two woman wrestlers by going through the punishment. Rachel is highly known for these death-style matches, so it was expected for her, and not Athena. Athena in person is H-O-T!! As for the match, to me, it was my pick of the two Joshi matches. Crazy spots on the tacks from both women, like Athena snapmaring Rachel on the tacks, Athena diving through the ropes on Rachel through chairs, Rachel hitting her signature Gory Bomb on Athena through the tacks, then pulling the Texas Cloverleaf on Athena on the tacks, but Athena’s Submission Squad buddies interfered, and broke up the hold. The end happened when Athena jumped from the stage on Rachel through a barbed-wire table full of tumbtacks with diving double knees on Rachel’s face, and got the three count.

ROH Recap (March 1, 2010): Beware of The Death Rey

After a few months of absence, women’s wrestling as made it’s return to Ring of Honor! This week’s match pitted former SHIMMER Champion Sara Del Rey against current SHIMMER Tag Team Champion Portia Perez. Watch below as these two SHIMMER mainstays bring in March with a bang:

Out first is Portia, who is playing the babyface role in this match. At first, the image of Portia slapping fives with the fans kind of rubbed me the wrong way. I mean, she is one of the most hated heels in SHIMMER after all. Even though Del Rey is the bigger heel in this instance, I would have liked Perez to still keep her heel persona, if only to keep some consistency between SHIMMER and ROH.

Sara Del Rey hits the ring next accompanied by… um… well, I don’t really who he is to be honest. I’m sure his name was mentioned a time or two, but let’s be honest: We’re not watching this match for him, are we? The ladies adhere to ROH’s Code of Honor and shake hands, but as soon as the bell sounds Del Rey goes on the attack, forcing her smaller opponent into the corner and taking her to the mat with forearm strikes and a few stomps for good measure. Referee Bryce Remsburg tries to pull Del Rey off of the pint-sized Portia, but Sara is having none of that.

While Del Rey is busy with the ref, Portia takes the opportunity to roll Sara up with a schoolboy for a two count. Portia tries to get of the offensive but is laid out by another vicious forearm. Del Rey tries for a wheelbarrow but Perez reverses it for another near fall and pays for it with a kick to the head. Sara keeps on her opponent, pulling her up by the hair and tying her up in the ropes. Del Rey proceeds to level Portia with some nasty (in a good way) kicks to the chest folowed by a snap suplex for a two count.
