MATCH 1

PGWA Champion Tracy Taylor recently returned to the SAWmill Arena in Millersville, Tennessee, the site of her stunning upset victory over Nikki Roxx last November for the belt. She was there to face Su Yung's challenge for her title, in a match that proved to be so wild, it spawned an almost immediate rematch!

The first match began with the two combatants locking up, and Tracy swiftly converting the hold into an arm twist on Su, flipping her over to work on her arms some more, including a hammerlock.

Yung manages to escape and snare the Hawaiian in a headlock, but Taylor escapes and shoots Su in the ropes. A shoulder tackle to the Asian stuns Su for a moment, but she recovers with a hip toss, followed20by a scissored headlock to the Champ. Tracy manages to work her way out, and applies a sitdown headlock to her opponent, which Su is finally able to escape from.

Up until now, both wrestlers had been fighting cleanly. But suddenly Su shifts tactics, working over Taylor by draping her throat over the second rope, and then sitting on her back, pressing her windpipe against the cable to choke the Hawaiian!

Having weakened the Champ, Yung puts Taylor in the corner and nimbly presses her foot across Tracy's throat, further choking her. A couple of hair tosses to the mat leave the Champ disoriented, and before she knows what is happening, she finds herself locked into a camel clutch. To add to Tracy's misfortune, Su rises up and drops her behind hard into Taylor's back several times.

Tracy is able to battle back, and the advantage swings back and forth between them. Several times the Champ tries to pin her challenger, but each time Yung is able to kick out, much to Tracy's frustration.

Finally, the action erupts out of the ring, as the two women battle it out at ringside. Neither is able to make it back into the ring before the referee counts them out, declaring the match to be a Double Disqualification!

After the match, commentator Michael Gramm attempts to interview Su Yung, who is irate over the way the match ended. Rather than answer any questions, she swats at Gramm with her Geisha fan, demanding, "I want another title match with Tracy Taylor now! NOW!!!"

Unknown to the fans in the arena, Tracy Taylor is=2 0at that moment backstage on the telephone, having called PGWA Commissioner Susan Green, and she says, "I don't care where or how, but I want Su Yung back in the ring with me immediately! And if you don't sanction it, I'll take her out in the parking lot tonight!"

Ms. Green consents to a title rematch, and SAW officials slate it for the next SAW card.

MATCH 2

The bell sounds and the two women lock up, with Tracy pushing Su back into the corner. Yung screams that Taylor pulled her hair. Back in the center of the ring they lock up once more, and yet again the Champ pushes her opponent to the corner, with Su once more claiming an illegal hair pull. Tracy denies it, and turns to the cr owd to back her up. Momentarily distracted, Taylor suddenly finds herself flat on her back, with Yung going for the pin. The Hawaiian manages to kick out of the schoolgirl pin after the count of two.

Aggressively seizing control of the match, Yung nails Taylor with a drop toehold, followed by a headscissor. In obvious pain, Tracy manages to slowly inch her way over to the ropes; when she finally reaches the cable, the ref orders the hold broken. Now free, Tracy rubs her clearly aching jaw.

Locking up, Taylor lands a kick to Yung's gut, then works Su's arm over. But the Asian manages to escape, and she nails the Champ with another drop toe hold, sending her into the second turnbuckle. Su grabs Tracy's arms and plants her feet in the Hawaiian's back, stretching her spine, before sending Taylor bouncing across the ring with a monkey flip.

Draping the Champ into a corner, Su mounts the ropes and delivers ten quick punches to Taylor's head. Although dazed, Taylor manages to shove Yung down to the mat, works an arm twist on her, and then unleashes her new "Coconut Crusher" finisher on her challenger. Before Su knows what is happening, Tracy covers her for the 1-2-3!

Although Tracy Taylor managed to win the second match and retain her title, Su Yung did so undeniably well against her, it seems almost inevitable that the Asian will get another shot at the Champ, hopefully someday soon.

More photos and videos of the action will be online soon!
