FAWNatics FEEDBACK - Possible Spoilers

I figured I would kick things off and offer some quick thoughts on each match / storyline on the card. So starting from the top:

Daisy LeMay vs. Estrina Starfire
It's always interesting to see how the newcomers, especially the babyfaces, deal with the cattier antics in FAWN. Fight fire with fire, or keep fighting the good fight? Estrina was able to win cleanly with superior skill and athleticism, but I'm curious to see how she would respond if/when she encounters someone equally talented who's very wiling to play fast and loose with the rules. Treating the fallen Daisy as a human pit-rag certainly shows that she has it in her to pay evil unto evil.

Donna Dunbar vs. Crimson Dawn
A new sidekick for FAWN's resident masked woman. Part of me wonders if one or both of these ladies have an unmasked identity that's already well-known in its own right. And perhaps I'm too hasty in calling the new masked wrestler a sidekick -- for all we know she took Crimson Dawn away for her own machinations. Eager to see how this plays out in the upcoming cards.

Jasmine Washington vs. LaKeisha Bates
Rookie acquitted herself well against a former champion in LaKeisha Bates, but it's really the return of Kylie Sanders that stole the show. With Portia out of the picture I wonder if Kylie now holds the title of most hated woman in FAWN -- possibly the most hated woman in the entire history of FAWN. Surprised to see her throw in her lot with a newcomer like Jasmine, although perhaps she just wanted to get her licks in against LK. Kylie certainly has her share of unresolved feuds and baggage, so if the alliance lasts, it'll be very interesting to see how Jasmine handles being burdened with Kylie's dirty laundry.

Elizabeth Cromwell vs. Beth Jenkins
Well, Lizzie certainly has had a rough time in singles recently. Now that Sammie Sinclair has returned, it might be a good idea for her to build some momentum in tag matches. Judging from the way she tried to ride her opponent Cromwell hasn't lost her all of dirtier instincts despite hanging out with the babiest of babyface factions, though perhaps it's true what Beth said about her losing the nasty edge that she once had as a more successful heel (in terms of winning singles matches at least).

Adelaide Brewster vs. Camille Cosworth
This was my contribution to this card, and I could say a lot about this, but for the sake of not spoiling future matches I'll keep it brief. Camille is a superior athlete, but her instincts in the ring are as a performer rather than a fighter. That's why she pulls out all these crazy maneuvers that are too much sizzle and not enough steak, and that's not going to cut it against someone as vicious and dirty as Adelaide Brewster. Even so, Camille is improving with each encounter with Adelaide with markedly different moves and tactics each time as she slowly (and very, very painfully) learns what works and what doesn't through trial and error.

Anna Sharpe vs. Autumn Sammain
My favorite match of the card. Brutal and violent, just as it should be from two ladies who genuinely hate each other. Needless to say, Anna respects Autumn's ability to dish out the pain, although jury's still out on what she thinks of wrestling as a sport. Question now is if she persists in her feud with Sammain (when it's clear that Autumn has won the philosophical portion of that battle) in order to balance the scales, or if she and Caity just accept this loss and move on to other things. Caity throwing down against Sammain certainly wasn't the smartest move, but the things we do for love... *pushes Bran Stark out of a window*

Wendy Smith vs. Soledad Sanchez
Good to see Wendy back in action, and getting matched up with an agile lucha makes for a good contrast in the action. La Hurrican put up stiffer resistance than I would have expected given their respective pedigrees, although she did have a previous victory over Wendy. Styles make fights, I suppose. I would expect Wendy to be back in the LW title picture very soon.

Janel Manning vs. Shea London
The old guard had been dropping in recent months, and if it weren't for Kylie's sudden return I would have said that Shea was the last woman standing of her generation. After wrestling that kind of high-flying, big-impact style for more than a decade, Shea must have bones of adamantium to still retain her top gear. I wonder if she too has it in her to make another run at the WC or the LW titles.

Amara Singh vs. Sayuki Matsumoto
A double stacked camel clutch certainly isn't something you see every day. Certainly an impressive month for Amara as she's managed to get the better of Lenore Lemarchand and Sayuki Matsumoto. With a showdown against Reiko Ohno looming on the horizon, Amara needs to watch her back, lest she fall victim to another 4.5 against 1 beatdown like she did at the end here.

Lyssa Zahn vs. Veronica Treymane
Honestly I'm surprised that Veronica didn't just flatten Lyssa with a steel chair. Certainly no one would have blamed her, and she wouldn't have given up her belt in a DQ loss either. For someone I don't know very much about Lyssa put up quite the challenge, though what I'm really looking forward to is the Veronica vs. Alexis showdown. IIRC Alexis was the last person to defeat the current champ and it was a clean / decisive victory, but the presence of Rachel Raker could swing things the other way. Certainly she knows both of these wrestlers very well, thus her "metrics" may have some part to play in giving little sister the edge over her rival. 

Whew, that turned out to be pretty long actually. Eager to see what my fellow writers and fans have to say about this card, so come on people, tell us all what you think.
