(OOC NOTE: I *had* planned for this section to be a lot more active than it has been. I also plan to have a proper card up this Friday. In the meantime, the following is a summary of what has transpired in Albuquerque since Cathy Dennehy bought the promotion...)
August 29th, 2014
--Deidra Dennehy defeated Ellie Masterson via knockout following her Got Milk? powerbomb/jugg smother
--Olivia Barker defeated Kathy Atlas via submission with her San Antonio Rose cloverleaf
--America’s Sweethearts (Charlie Dawson & Skylar Mitchell) beat the Commonweath (Evonne Ingham & Cleona Flynn) by pinfall when Charlie hit Evonne with the Charlie Cutter (O-Face/top rope stunner)
--Jill Canyon defeat Lorelei Butler via pinfall following her Eskimo Bomb (straightjacket widows peak)
--The Outcasts (Casey Maxwell & Lark Russell) defeated the Dombrowski Sisters (Celeste & Lynda Dombrowski) by pinfall after Russell connected with the Bastard Bomb on Celeste Dombrowski
--In a Champions versus Champions tag team match, the Valley Girls defeated the Surf Sisters (Reagan Atkins & Mattie Knight) when Aly and Bev nailed the Totally Bytchin’! on Knight
--In the main event, Shannen Dennehy defeated Angie Vincent via knockout with the Milk Run to become the new Desert Divas champion.
NOTES:
The opening match was an interesting one. Deidra Dennehy absolutely had the crowd against her going in, but she shockingly did nothing underhanded in her match with Ellie. More to the point, she left the ring following her victory without taking any additional liberties.
The same cannot be said for Shannen Dennehy, it has to be said. This match very much had the feel of a coronation, especially with Natalie Dennehy at ringside, interjecting herself at every opportunity. Angie put up a valiant defense, but in the end, the numbers game was too much.
AFTER the match, though, is when things got interesting...
It quickly became apparent that winning the championship would not be enough to satisfy the Shady One: she and Natalie wanted to END Angie. But then Deidra Dennehy came to the ring. Shannen and Natalie were ready to welcome her, but instead of joining them, Deidra went after her cousins! Deidra successfully repelled Shannen and Natalie, an act which finally got the crowd firmly behind her.
September 12, 2014
--The Nightmare Children (Harrietta Morreaux & Amaris Poison) ANNIHILATED the Geek Squad (Gwen Morgan & Finn Cunningham), Morreaux taking out Finn with her Voodoo Doll facesit/stomach claw combo while Amaris’ Poison Kiss sent Morgan into oblivion.
--Natalie Dennehy defeated Bobbie Galvin by knockout after Dropping Anchor (settling into her reverse facesit)
--Sapphire Havens defeated La Diosa del Deseo by pinfall following her Headbanger’s Ball (repeated headbutts setting up a spear).
--America’s Sweethearts defeated the War Party by pinfall after Mitchell connected with her Skye Dive springboard cutter on Kasa Halfmoon.
--Cleona Flynn defeated Abby Hoffman by pinfall following her Caber Toss (Big Ending).
--Jasmine Ryan defeated Evonne Ingham by pinfall following her Splitsville middle rope split-legged leg drop.
--In the main event, Lady Lydia Lethbridge defeated Olivia Barker via submission with her Lethbridge Lock (double ankle lock).
NOTES:
The Nightmare Children MORE than lived up to their name in making short work of Gwen and Finn. I doubt either one of those two will be doing much sleeping for the next week.
Sapphire Havens and La Diosa del Deseo had the crowd eating out of their hands with their high-octane showdown, but the ovation of the night came when Charlie and Skye scored the upset on a pair of established veterans.
Speaking of upsets, Jasmine Ryan’s victory over former FAWN Lightweight champion Evonne Ingham had to qualify. But that was the lone dark spot on the Commonwealth’s night. Cleona Flynn put her power on full display against the Hardcore Hippie Chick, while Lady Lydia Lethbridge made a statement in submitting a former FAWN Tag Team champion. Flynn might have been at ringside for Lydia’s match, but she ended up not needing much support from her muscle.
September 26th, 2014
--Lyssa Zahn defeated Gwen Morgan via pinfall following her Instaslam (Michinoku Driver I).
--The Dombrowski Sisters defeated the Commonwealth (Ingham & Flynn) by pinfall when Lynda connected with the Dombrowski Double Decker Leg Drop (launched from Celeste’s back on the top turnbuckle) on Flynn.
--Delilah Lyman defeated Finn Cunningham by pinfall following her Delilah Bomb (suplex lift into a lungblower).
--The Nightmare Children defeated America’s Sweethearts by dual knockouts, Harrietta making Skye Mitchell her Voodoo Doll while Amaris’ Poison Kiss ended Charlie’s night.
--Deidra Dennehy defeated Piper Sexton by knockout following her Got Milk?
--The Surf Sisters successfully defended the tag team championship against the Outcasts, Mattie Knight scoring the pinfall on Casey Maxwell after landing her Hang Ten double rotation moonsault.
--In a juggtastic main event, Shannen Dennehy was pushed hard by Jill Canyon, but she managed to retain after delivering the Milk Run.
NOTES:
Lyssa Zahn made QUITE the impression upon her arrival at the Left Turn, snapping selfies all the way to the ring... and then uploading a pic of her with Gwen Morgan’s snoozing head in her lap to Instagram shortly after the Instaslam.
Charlie and Skye fared marginally better against the Nightmare Children than the Geek Squad had, but were unable to avoid their fate. And man, did the crowd let Morreaux and Poison hear about it afterwards.
But Deidra Dennehy is certainly over with the Desert Dwellers, especially after taking out Albuquerque’s least favorite brat in Piper.
The Surf Sisters bounced back from coming up just short against Aly & Bev Valley, and Jill Canyon came oh so very close to bringing Shannen Dennehy’s reign as Queen of the Desert to a brief conclusion. In the end, though, the house was sent home unhappy.
October 17th, 2014
--Lark Russell defeated Olivia Barker via knockout following her KO Punch.
--The War Party defeated the Geek Squad by pinfall, the Uprising/Massacre finishing off Gwen Morgan when Kasa lifted her in a wheelbarrow and Kaya hit a kneedrop to the back of her head.
--Cleona Flynn defeated Jasmine Ryan by pinfall following her Caber Toss
--Skye Mitchell defeated Casey Maxwell by pinfall following her Skye Dive.
--The Nightmare Children destroyed the Dombrowski Sisters with another dual knockout, Celeste succumbing to the Voodoo Doll and Lynda the Poison Kiss.
--Charlie Dawson defeated Lady Lydia Lethbridge by pinfall following the Charlie Cutter.
--In the main event, Sapphire Havens defeated Natalie Dennehy by pinfall following her Headbanger’s Ball.
NOTES:
In singles actions, Charlie Dawson and Skye Mitchell both managed to pull off upsets--but Charlie’s came ONLY when Skye was able to race down to ringside and keep Cleona from getting involved.
The Nightmare Children continued to cut a swath through the tag ranks of Desert Divas. Only the Surf Sisters are left for them to face...
And lo and behold, even though Cathy might own the company, the Dennehy’s are NOT invincible.
October 31st, 2014
--Finn Cunningham defeated Kathy Atlas by pinfall following her 000-Destruct-0 electric chair into a German suplex.
--The Commonwealth (Lady Lydia Lethbridge and Cleona Flynn) defeated the Dombrowski Sisters by submission when Lydia made Celeste tap to the Lethbridge Lock.
--Lyssa Zahn defeated Jill Canyon by submission with her Profile Pic (Indian Deathlock Cobra Twist)
--America’s Sweethearts defeated the Outcasts when Skye Mitchell pinned Lark Russell by roll-up.
--Delilah Lyman defeated Deidra Dennehy by pinfall following her Delilah Bomb.
--The Nightmare Children defeated the Surf Sisters to become the NEW Desert Divas Tag Team champions. Amaris connected with her Moonfall spear on Reagan Atkins to collect the pinfall.
--In the main event, Shannen Dennehy (with some assistance from cousin Natalie) defeated Sapphire Havens to remain Queen of the Desert, knocking Havens out with her Milk Run.
NOTES:
The Surf Sisters picked the WRONG night to face the Nightmare Children--really, on Halloween, could there have been another outcome?
The record book indicates a Delilah Lyman win over Deidra Dennehy, but there’s more to the story than that. At the beginning of the night, Deidra had gone to the ring and demanded a shot at Shannen for the title. Shannen agreed--but ONLY if Deidra could prove herself worthy against Lyman. And when Deidra faced Delilah, Shannen and Natalie made their way to ringside to ensure that Delilah emerged victorious.
And yet, the story doesn’t end THERE, either...
After the bell, Shannen and Natalie intended to make an example of their cousin, but they were run off by none other than fellow Texan Ellie Masterson. Ellie offered Deidra her hand, and the two embraced. We may just have a new tag team on our hands.
November 14th, 2014
--Lark Russell defeated Skye Mitchell by submission with her Who’s Your Momma? variation on the Cerebro Lock.
--The Geek Squad defeated the Commonwealth (Lady Lydia Lethbridge and Evonne Ingham) by pinfall after Gwen hit Evonne with her Outer Limits moonsault legdrop.
--La Diosa del Deseo beat Abby Hoffman by pinfall following her Beso de la Diosa hanspring stunner.
--Lorelei Butler beat Bobbie Galvin by knockout with the Pray for Mercy.
--Natalie Dennehy defeated Jasmine Ryan by knockout after Dropping Anchor.
--The Babe Ranch (Deidra Dennehy & Ellie Masterson) defeated the War Party by pinfall after Ellie hit Kasa with her Sidesaddle Driver (Impact Driver)
--In the main event, Charlie Dawson defeated Cleona Flynn by pinfall with a roll-up
NOTES:
For the second week in a row, the show opened with a wrestler coming down to the ring and demanding a title match. This week, that wrestler was Charlie Dawson! She had taken exception to the Dennehy’s treatment of Deidra last week, and wanted an opportunity “to do to Shannen what everyone in the audience wanted to do to her!”
And, for the second week in a row, Shannen Dennehy accepted the challenge, but on the condition that Charlie beat someone else to prove her worth--that someone being Cleona.
Now, it MIGHT have been coincidental that, following Charlie’s challenge, Cathy Dennehy booked Skye Mitchell to face Lark Russell. But what are the odds of that. And, her pride still smarting from last week, Lark elected to make an example out of the Li’lest Mitchell.
Unlike last week, Shannen apparently didn’t think it worth going to ringside for Charlie’s match... but she and Shannen made a beeline to the ring after the upset, make no mistake. The Dirty Dennehys went to work on Dawson, with Skylar in no shape to come to her partner’s aid. And, in an unholy alliance, the Commonwealth guarded ringside, preventing the face lockerroom from rescuing Charlie. What should have been the biggest night of Dawson’s career to date ended with her nuzzling Shannen jugg after a Milk Run, only for Natalie to then Drop Anchor after she was out.
November 28th, 2014
--Lady Lydia Lethbridge defeated Gwen Morgan by submission with the Lethbridge Lock.
--The Dombrowski Sisters defeated the War Party after Celeste connected with the Dombrowski Double Decker leg drop on Kaya Halfmoon.

--Finn Cunningham defeated Delilah Lyman by pinfall following her 000-Destruct-0.
--The Nightmare Children defeated the Babe Ranch to retain the Desert Divas Tag Team championship. Amaris finished off Ellie with her Moonfall spear, while HARRIETTA used the Poison Kiss to keep Deidra from coming to the rescue.
--In the main event, Shannen Dennehy survived a spirited challenge from Charlie Dawson to remain Queen of the Desert, knocking Charlie out with the Milk Run.
NOTES:
Sooooooooooooooooooooooo close...
Dawson actually managed to connect with the Charlie Cutter on Shannen Dennehy, but she attempted the cover too close to the ropes, allowing the veteran Dennehy to get her ankle on the bottom cable. A little better ring position, and maybe we would have had a new Queen. Still Charlie had nothing to be ashamed of in her effort, and the Desert Dwellers let her know it.
December 12th, 2014
--La Diosa del Deseo defeated Olivia Barker via pinfall with her Beso de la Diosa.

--Cleona Flynn defeated Jill Canyon by pinfall following her Caber Toss.
--In the main event, Deidra Dennehy defeated Lark Russell by knockout following her Got Milk?
NOTES:
Angie Vincent made her first appearance at the Left Turn since Shannen and Natalie Dennehy had attempted to end her career. After withstanding Lorelei Butler’s best shot and emerging victories, Vincent called for a microphone. She told the Desert Dwellers that it would have been VERY easy, at her age, to call it a day... but that she was determined to come back, and to teach Shannen “a little something about respect.”
The main event proved to be Deidra Dennehy’s most impressive showing to date. She actually kicked out of Russell’s Bastard Bomb before coming back to score the win.

NOTES:
Angie Vincent made her first appearance at the Left Turn since Shannen and Natalie Dennehy had attempted to end her career. After withstanding Lorelei Butler’s best shot and emerging victories, Vincent called for a microphone. She told the Desert Dwellers that it would have been VERY easy, at her age, to call it a day... but that she was determined to come back, and to teach Shannen “a little something about respect.”
The main event proved to be Deidra Dennehy’s most impressive showing to date. She actually kicked out of Russell’s Bastard Bomb before coming back to score the win.
