AIWF CHAMPIONSHIP SHOCKER

Lei' D Tapa vs Mia Svensson

Fans were treated to a tremendous line-up of wrestling talent this past weekend at the AIWF's 
21st anniversary shows in Mt. Airy, North Carolina... a fantastic roster for both Friday and 
Saturday night's cards, including ring legend Ricky Morton.

But the match that perhaps promised the most fireworks was the AIWF Women's Championship title 
defense between the Champion, Lei' D Tapa, and her challenger, Mia Svensson.

These two ladies are no strangers to one another, and each time they've met, the ring could 
barely hold the action!  So Lei' certainly knew just how dangerous of an opponent Mia can be, 
but of course that didn't stop the Champ from taunting her rival with some pre-match remarks in 
the days leading up to the match, including such incendiary jibes as, "When I'm done with Mia, 
she will bow down to me, Lei' D Tapa, the Queen of the Ring, and she will beg for my mercy!"  
The blonde was not rattled by such taunting however, responding coolly with, "Get ready for 
the battle of a lifetime, Tapa. I'm determined to get what's mine. I will be on top again. 
True story."

Both wrestlers were definitely at the top of their games on Saturday night.  Svensson was 
clearly the fan favorite and had the crowd solidly behind her, and their support no doubt 
fired her up during those times when it looked as if Tapa was on the verge of winning the match.  
Indeed, the taller brunette was often in control of the fight, and at times it looked as if the 
blonde challenger was running out of steam, but always in the nick of time, Mia would expertly 
counter Lei's moves.  It really was a hard-fought battle between these ladies, and the fans 
genuinely showed appreciation.

Amidst a lightning-fast contest of headlocks, throws, kicks, stomps, forearm smashes and more, 
there were very few instances of cheating...although Lei did get a few underhanded licks in! 
More than once, the Champion had her challenger hurting, with Svensson's shoulders to the mat, 
but never more than for the count of two...all the while the fans' collectively holding their 
breath to see if their heroine could make yet another last-instant escape!

Amazingly, and to the great joy of the capacity crowd, the Swedish beauty managed to battle back 
from the brink of defeat and actually beat Lei' for the belt!

All in all, this will go down in the history books as one of the greatest matches in AIWF history 
(female or male!).  LadySports Online was there to capture all of the action, and in the next few 
days there will be ictures, as well as exclusive quotes from the winner and the loser.  

Stay tuned, sports fans!
