A few vague thoughts:
Desire is a blast from the past but Shelby is clearly the class in that match. She's on a steep learning curve though, after Anna Sharpe's war with Autumn Sammain the Brit is a step above most rookies in the tournament.Shelby needs to up her game to compete.
I hope Bianca Simpson can get some help from Camille, and hopefully some of her miraculous powers of self improvement too. She's going to need them.
I've commented on the other two rookie tournament matches, but Starfire-Mason and Roulette-Aurora are both big unknowns. A strong performance from any of those four girls could give them winning momentum.
I know Zoe Scott is looking to steal a lot more limelight soon!
The madhouse match was even more brutal than that venue normally provides, seriously tough on Aloisia.
Kylie vs Lily is a dream match that turned into a nightmare for Burlingame with all the interference. Lucky that she has an Ace up her sleeve. We've never really seen the Burlingames interact with each other, but it could spell trouble for Kylie. Jasmine has plenty of trouble of her own, her tournament bout with Camille looks like the potential pick of the round and could well produce the eventual winner.
Amara Singh is really living up to her hype right now. She's a dominant champ who's beating all kinds of different fighters, but at some point I'd like to see her against someone who can match or even beat her for power and confidence, like Adrianna Papadopoulos. Empress vs Goddess has a nice ring to it too...
Gabby Mendoza's reign has quietly grown longer than those of some lightweight legends. Unlike Amara she never really seems dominant, but she always manages to come through in the end. Rose helps a lot with that but I wonder what'll happen if she ever decides gold is worth more than friendship.
I really enjoyed the world title match. Pandora's now back on the singles scene and she's still a force of nature. Veronica really fought smart as well as hard and now no one can say she's not a worthy champion. She joins an elite club of people who've beaten Panny one on one, and it might not be coincidence that the only other member is her former mentor Sue B. Who's just made a surprise appearance of her own further down the card. And has talked before about wanting to be a three time champion. Hmmm...

Shelby vs. Desire:
Definitely a blast from the past. Desire the Naughty Schoolgirl really should at least be Desire the Naughty PhD Candidate or even Desire the Tenure Track Associate Professor by now. Either way, impressive showing from Shelby (and as a car person I definitely enjoyed the name) and I look forward to seeing her show her stuff in the rookie tournament. For a rookie, Anna Sharpe is quite seasoned by virtue of debuting earlier in the year and having gone through a war with the Dragon, so Shelby will definitely have her work cut out for her.
Bianca vs. Allison:
There's a very real psychological phenomenon called the Dunning-Kruger effect published by researchers from Bianca's alma mater which simply states that people who are bad at a certain task are prone to overestimate themselves at that task. Bianca is falling victim to this, and time will tell if she eventually gets a dose of reality. Allison also happens to think very, very highly of herself, even though she's also relatively untested against top talent. It's possible that she's also falling victim to D-K effect, although at least she picked up a win here.
Zoe vs. HMP
I guess HMP didn't have the Triforce of Power. Another impressive debut from a new wrestler. What interests me most, actually, is Zoe's valet / bodyguard Isobel. There's no shortage of ladies with deep pockets in FAWN, and I wonder if Isobel's loyalties lie with Zoe or her bank account.
Madhouse
Aloisia seems to be particularly vulnerable to erotic attacks, and has the misfortune of being paired against opponents who are all too willing to take advantage of that. I wonder if she would be a powerhouse, if only she wrestled in a chastity belt. On a side note, Trixie's gift of a waffle maker really amused me for some reason.
Kylie vs. Lily
I think the lesson has to be to never get into it with either Jasmine or Kylie unless you have backup at ringside. Lakeisha and Lily both learned that the hard way. Of course, now they've drawn the ire of Sue, and Sue potentially brings an entire Court's worth of ringside backup, so this may have been a major faux pas on the part of Jasmine and Demetria. As far as the tournament goes, Camille surely will not walk into her match with Jasmine alone, and her backup happens to be temperamental, brash, and itching to throw hands against anyone. Referee's definitely going to have his hands full trying to keep law and order there.
EA title
Veronica's going to be wrestler of the year and for good reason, but Amara would be a close second, turning from relative unknown to nightmare. She humiliated Lenore on the beach back in September and has only looked more dominant in subsequent weeks. There's no shortage of EA contenders though, and it'll be interesting to see how long Amara can keep her streak going. Katya put up a valiant effort, but she was outmatched here I think.
LW title
There's just something so deeply, deeply unlikeable about Rose. She definitely helps Gabby with the title defenses though, there can be no doubt about that, and Rose seems surprisingly supportive and accepting of her partner holding the belt and not herself. Given the circumstances of how Gabby won the title, I honestly thought there'd be more jealousy and resentment there. Similar to the Kylie / Demetria / Jasmine trio, I think it would behoove any future LW challengers to strongly consider bringing some backup to the ring just in case.
World Championship
A clean win over Pandora seems just as impressive as the World Title itself, and this victory really cements Veronica as one of the great champions in FAWN history. Also intrigued by how her relationship with Alexis is playing out -- they really do seem like frenemies more than anything else at this point. Though perhaps that's only what Alexis wants everyone to think before she pulls a STAAAAARRRSCREEEAAAM! type back stab.
All in all another super enjoyable card. Really looking forward to seeing the rookie tournament too, especially since Roulette will be a total mystery going into it. Always intriguing to see new wrestlers in action.
