HWA FLASHBACK 1979: SUSAN ANTON vs BARBARA CARRERA


Susan's piercing scream filled the air of the Hollywood Wrestling Alliance arena, as her spine was agonizingly torqued in Barbara's Gory Special. The statuesque Nicaraguan gritted her teeth as she held her opponent aloft on her back, stretching the blonde's body back. The equally Amazonian Anton squirmed helplessly, but was unable to break free, and could only endure the torment. The ref kept asking her if she wanted to submit, but through choked back sobs she refused. Her one and only hope was to outlast her tormentor, and pray for an opportunity to turn the tide.
Her prayers seemed to be answered when Carrera, no longer able to exert the strength to keep the hold in place, released it, and Susan crumpled to the canvas. But if the blonde had hoped that freedom would grant her the chance to go on the attack, she immediately learned that was not to be; her body was so wracked with pain, all she could do was lay in a heap on the mat, trembling.
Free to continue with her assault, Barbara next subjected her adversary to a Stretch Muffler. Anton's screams again rang through the cavernous building as her leg was stretched across the back of her foe's neck, subjecting the blonde to blinding anguish. This time her will power failed her, and she didn't even wait for the referee to ask before she began to shriek "SHTAAAAAAP! I GIVE UP! I QUIT!" Barbara, wearing a smug smirk of satisfaction, gave her rival's leg one last tug, then released her and stood up to allow the official to raise her arm in victory.
HWA FLASHBACK 2002: SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR vs KRISTIN KREUK


"Finish her!" came calls from the crowd. Through a haze Kristin could hear the braying of the idiot fans, but something was...wrong. She was lightheaded in a strange way, and her body felt bound in some odd way. If only her blurred vision would clear, she could learn what was happening.
What everyone else knew that Kreuk didn't was that her present condition was the result of a senses-stunning superkick to the jaw, courtesy of her opponent, Sarah. That dazed the exotic brunette enough for Gellar to hang her upside down in the corner in a Tree of Woe. Now the blonde stood in the opposite corner, almost casually leaning against the turnbuckle as she waited for her rival to gather her wits. Sarah wanted her hated arch-nemesis to realize exactly what was going to happen to her next.
"Finish her!" the encouraging cries continued. Sarah could see the light of reason twinkle again in Kristin's eyes, followed by a priceless look of sheer panic. It was then that the blonde charged full-tilt across the length of the ring, until she neared her opponent, who was hung haplessly like a side of beef in a slaughterhouse. Leaping up, Gellar flew crotch-first toward her target, her groin smashing into Kreuk's face. The blonde then delivered a grinding Bronco Buster, smothering Kristin to the whooping delight of the spectators.
When she was finished, Sarah pulled herself out of the corner, and unhooked the barely conscious brunette's legs from the top ropes, letting her collapse to the mat. She dragged the moaning Kristin to center ring and placed a foot atop Kreuk's heaving chest while the referee counted 1..2..3!
