It's a thin line between words and action, particularly when the words are spoken by two women who share such a seething animosity for one another.

Once, they were pupil and teacher. That gave way to a furious rivalry which ignited multiple rings. But if, by some chance, either woman had harbored any suspicion that perhaps they could reconcile, the events of this day killed that idea once and for all.

It began as a very routine, almost humdrum contract signing. Sin-D and 'Big Mama' Nemesis had been booked by Commissioner Susan Green to face one another in a PGWA-sanctioned match at the AIW's "Girls Night Out 3" live event on January the 28th. But things quickly escalated to a dangerous degree within minutes.

Putting her signature on the paper, Nemesis looked at her opponent across the table and smirked. "You may have trained me, but you don't know everything I'm capable of," she taunted her former mentor.

With a smug smile of her own, Sin-D replied, "Don't confusing 'training' with 'educating', girl. I taught you the basics, but you never learned any of my secrets. I, on the other hand, know everything there is to know about you."

Undaunted, Nemesis retorted, "Get ready for a surprise, 'teach'…I've gotten leaner and meaner, and as history shows, once I get you on the mat, my pounding and grounding are too much for you to take."

Reminded of her past defeats at the hands of her rival, the smile on Sin-D's face melted into a glare as she grumbled, "I'll admit, you've gotten slimmer and dimmer, but all that means is you've traded power for speed, and no one's faster in the ring than me!"

Now it was Nemesis's turn to scowl and growl, recalling loses she had suffered herself to the woman opposite her: "You'd better be ready, because your quick pins are meaningless now! Big Mama's devastating moves are all that'll matter when I get you in that ring!"

Eyes narrowing into angry slits, Sin-D hisses through clenched teeth, "Don't you worry about a quick pin. It's high time I put your ass down hard, since that seems to be the only way you'll get it through your thick skull that you're no match for me. So on the 28th, get ready to be KO'd, sweetie!"

"The only way I'll be put to sleep in the ring is if I'm bored to death with your lame-ass attempt to wrestle," the larger woman said with a dismissive laugh.

Having had enough of her former student's impudence, Sin-D let loose with a stinging slap across her adversary's face. Nemesis seemed shocked into inaction for a heartbeat, but then suddenly lunged at the other woman. Spewing some decidedly un-ladylike language at one another, they erupted into an impromptu brawl right there in the office! Observers in the room rushed to separate the wildcats…a feat which was accomplished only with great difficulty.

The melee was brief, and one spectator was only able to capture it with one quick cell phone photo.

In the minutes after the incident, both Sin-D and Nemesis separately contacted Commissioner Green and asked…no, DEMANDED…that a new stipulation be added to their match: It would be a 'Lights Out' fight, with no pinfall. One will only win by knocking out her opponent, or forcing her to submit. Given that neither of these proud women would ever contemplate the shame of surrendering to the other, it is probably safe to expect this match will go all the way to the expected KO.

Given the fiery degree of hostility between these two, one can't help but expect this match has the makings of being a contender for Match of the Year. And it promises to be a highlight at a show that already will undoubtedly prove to be one of 2011's biggest events in women's wrestling!
