Heartland Ladies' Wrestling
December 3, 2022 (Card #1182)
Value City Arena, Columbus, Ohio
The show opens with the tune, "This Is Why I'm Hot" by Mimsplaying overhead. ALEX RODRIGUEZ strides down to ringside with JACLYN CORDEIRO on his arm. A-Rod has a cocky smirk on his face, and Jaclyn keeps her nose held high as the power couple enters the ring. A-Rod: What kind of minor league city is this anyway? Who booked this dump? What's goin' on, peeps- I am
ALEX FREAKING RODRIGUEZ and I am the man here. Nobody loves a good chick fight better than I do- and that's why you pathetic morons gave me your welfare checks to be here tonight. To be honest, the broads that I am paying to wrestle are a dime a dozen, so I couldn't tell you the first thing about tonight's matches. Let's bring out the Bimbo to talk to you all about the deets.
The fans boo A-Rod, but the boos turn to cheers when VELVET SKY emerges to the tune, "Poison" by Alice Cooper. Velvet sashays down to ringside, dressed in an Ohio State Football jersey and jeans. She greets the fans along the ramp, then hits the ring and waves her arms to pump up the crowd. Velvet: Heartland- WHAT IS UP!?!?! I am GEEKED to be here! And regardless of his attitude, Mr. Rodriguez signs my paycheck and I am grateful to be here in Columbus. O-H!
Crowd: I-O!!
Velvet: And on top of being a legendary football town, tonight it's all about
Heartland Ladies' Wrestling. We've got the
Heartland Ladies' Championship on the line and we are going to blow up the
Epic Sports Broadcasting Network with tonight's action.
CHEERLEADER MELISSA is here tonight to defend the championship against
SHERRI MARTEL in a rivalry for the ages. Let's take care of business!
IVELISSE pinned KIERA HOGAN**** after a Flaming ArrowThings got goofy before the opening match even began. Ivelisse tried to attack Kiera with a superkick before the match even began, but Ivelisse missed and her errant Superkick drilled Ring Announcer
BOBBY CRUISE. Kiera made the mistake of checking on Cruise, and Ivelisse took advantage of the distraction with an assault on Kiera. Ivelisse took Kiera down and maintained complete control of the match, ultimately winning via pinfall.
THE SINISTER SWEETHEARTS (BRITTANY BLAKE & SAMANTHA HEIGHTS) defeated THE PINK LADIES (MADISON EAGLES*** & JESSIE MCKAY****) when Brittany pinned Jessie with the KilljoySERENA DEEB** pinned KELLIE SKATER** after a series of Signature JabsALLISON DANGER* pinned SARA DEL REY***** with the Shimmering WarlockNICOLE MATTHEWS pinned SUMIE SAKAI*** with the Vancouver ManeuverVelvet: Wow! We have seen some great action tonight- but the best is yet to come. The rest of tonight's matches will be streamed live on the
Epic Sports Broadcasting Network!Velvet: Welcome everyone to
Heartland Ladies' Wrestling Live on the
Epic Sports Broadcasting Network!The fans begin to clap with anticipation, but the proceedings are interrupted as the tune, "McMilitant" by Jim Johnston plays overhead, and TEDDY LONG struts down to the ring.Teddy: Now hold on there, playas- ain't nothing gonna happen in any live event without hearing the truth from Teddy Long. And the truth is, we got a lady here in HLW that don't know how to behave- and tonight this lady is gonna have a little talk with Teddy about respect in the wrestling business. So,
HOLIDEAD- baby girl- come on down here and talk to your General Manager.
The fans boo as the tune, "ThorĀ“s Hammer" by Ethan Meixsell plays overhead. HOLIDEAD emerges through the curtain, accompanied by THUNDER ROSA. Holidead shrieks at the fans and storms down to the ring with an angry snarl. Teddy: Now, young ladies, don't you be coming down to my ring bringing all that sass and attitude. You know, and I know, and everybody in this building knows what you did when you took out the
Heartland Ladies' Champion. Y'all need pay the price for what you did. In two weeks at
Heartland Havoc CXII: Won't Get Fooled Again, y'all have a
Tag Team Grudge Match scheduled against
SHERRI MARTEL & SARAYA KNIGHT. But ladies- that ain't it. Tonight, right here in Columbus, I am scheduling a match for YOU, Holidead- and it is gonna be a
Chain Match. And Thunder Rosa- get to steppin'. You are BANNED from the building for the rest of the night.
Referees come in from backstage. One carries a steel chain. Two other referees take Thunder Rosa by the arms and escort her out of the ring area. Holidead is fuming as the chain is attached to her neck. Without warning, the tune "Gatekeeper" by Swav plays overhead and KELLY KLEIN storms down the ramp!Velvet: OHMIGAWD! Kelly Klein is back!
STEEL CHAIN MATCH- NO DISQUALIFICATION:
HOLIDEAD** defeated KELLY KLEIN*** by choking her out with the chainIt was an all-out war between bitter rivals as Kelly got her hands on Holidead for the first time since her injury. Fists flew and the ladies battered each other from pillar to post until Holidead got the chain around Kelly's neck. The referee quickly called for the bell when Kelly became unresponsive.
After the decision, Holidead celebrated in the ring, but when Kelly awakened, Kelly grabbed the chain and delivered a NASTY beating to Holidead! A couple of referees filed in from backstage to help, but nobody was in a big hurry to interrupt the beating as Kelly got her licks in. Kelly whipped Holidead across the back, raising a couple of ugly welts before the referees finally intervened. MOUNT TESSA (TESSA BLANCHARD*** & VANESSA KRAVEN****) defeated MERCEDES MARTINEZ & NICOLE SAVOY*** when Tessa pinned Nicole with a Double Knee Face BreakerMAIN EVENT: HEARTLAND LADIES' CHAMPIONSHIP
SHERRI MARTEL pinned CHEERLEADER MELISSA*** (c) with a Top Rope SplashAfter nearly two years without gold, Sherri was able to regain the title in a hard-hitting bout. The ladies went toe-to-toe for several minutes, with neither woman able to gain the advantage until a fierce dust-up on the arena floor. Sherri whipped Melissa into the steel security railing and followed with a dropkick to the ribs, leaving the champion clearly stunned. Sherri rolled Melissa back into the ring and dumped her with a body slam. Melissa was hurt, and Sherri went to the top rope for the Flying Splash for the win!
SHERRI MARTEL WINS THE HEARTLAND LADIES' CHAMPIONSHIP
Velvet: Wow! Sherri is the winner! Congratulations to
SHERRI MARTEL who has just won the
Heartland Ladies' Championship! That was a great match. Both those ladies are so tough and anybody could have won. But Sherri was the better woman tonight and she is the new champ! Congratulations!
Before Velvet can close the show, TEDDY LONG returns to the ring. Teddy: Sherri Martel- the new
Heartland Ladies' Champion! Congratulations to you- and much respect. You are an all-time legend in wrestling. But before we close the show- lemme make another announcement. Earlier tonight we talked about your tag team match at
Heartland Havoc CXII: Won't Get Fooled Again. You and
SARAYA KNIGHT against
HOLIDEAD & THUNDER ROSA. Now, as Commissioner, I cannot put my champion into a high-risk situation like that. We can't have another one of our champions wind up getting injured. So Sherri, I love ya, girl- but I am pulling you out of that match.
Sherri looks clearly disappointed, but before she can respond, Teddy continues his speech.Teddy: So here's the plan. At
Heartland Havoc CXII: Won't Get Fooled Again, it will be
HOLIDEAD & THUNDER ROSA against
SARAYA KNIGHT and her new partner,
KELLY KLEIN! The fans cheer at the announcement, and Teddy struts back to the exit. Velvet enters the ring, hugs Sherri, and raises Sherri's arm in the air to celebrate.Velvet: That's it for tonight, Heartland- thanks for another awesome night of wrestling here in Columbus! Heartland will be back on Wednesday night from Buffalo with an exciting show from
Patriot Championship Wrestling. The newly crowned
North American Champion, SGT. SLAUGHTER, will be defending his title against
RICKY 'THE DRAGON' STEAMBOAT in the Main Event. Come check it out!
