DING!
Christina headed toward the center of the ring to lock up with Heather, but just before they tied up,
Heather slammed a vicious boot into the brunette’s stomach, doubling her over. The Monster backed up
a few steps before she ran forward and slammed a sick looking knee into the side of The Phenom and
sent her crashing to the canvas. Immediately, the powerful blonde began stomping away at her
opponent until the referee’s count reached four.
With a double handful of hair, Heather hauled her foe up and slammed a vicious thrust into the throat of
the brunette, sending Christina staggering toward the near corner. The Monster followed up with a
thunderous right hand that left Christina slumping in the corner with the ropes holding her upright. The
sadistic blonde used the opening to place a boot across the throat of The Phenom, cutting off her air
supply with a standing boot choke. Heather relented with the illegal move at the count of four only to
reapply it a second later. Finally, after the official threatened disqualification did the blonde back away,
allowing Christina to collapse to the mat.
Before Christina could rise, Heather rushed in and pressed her attack by stomping away at the brunette
beauty. The Monster then switched to a boot choke as Christina futilely clawed at the blonde’s footwear
while the referee again began to count. At four, Heather relented only to begin stomping a mudhole in
The Phenom again. When The Monster switched back to another boot choke, the official quick counted
the blonde and then wedged himself between the two grapplers.
JAIME: Heather is starting out with her rough, questionable tactics, but I don’t think the referee is going
to put up with that for long, even if this is a tournament match.
DAWN: Well, what did you expect from somebody nicknamed The Monster?
Heather quickly moved around the referee and resumed her attack on the sexy brunette as she locked
on a side headlock before she drove a thrust into her opponent’s throat. Christina sank to her knees,
gasping for air as the blonde heavyweight allowed a smirk to come across her face. The Monster quickly
re-applied the side headlock only to repeat the illegal thrust, driving Christina to her knees as she
clutched at her throat and began to hack and cough.
Once again, Heather yanked The Phenom to her feet and led her over to the ropes. The sadistic blonde
draped her foe’s throat across the top rope and then locked on a full nelson to intensify the pressure to
Christina’s throat. As the official began his count, Christina’s lungs screamed for oxygen and her throat
began to burn. At four, the blonde relented for a few seconds, only to re-apply the illegal and torturous
hold. Again, Heather relented just in time to prevent her disqualification. When the powerful blonde
backed away, The Phenom sank to her knees and leaned against the middle rope as she massaged her
burning throat.
Heather continued to target Christina’s throat as she moved in and planted a boot in the middle of her
foe’s back and pressed down, cutting off The Phenom’s air supply once more. The brunette’s feet beat
a tattoo in the canvas as the exasperated official began a quick count. The Monster responded by
releasing her foe only to yank her up with a double handful of hair. The sadistic blonde then draped
Christina throat-first over the top rope with one hand while she tried to pull the middle strand up and over
the back of her foe’s neck. A few seconds later, Heather was successful and Christina was being
strangled by the ropes.
JAIME: Heather is single-minded in her assault of Christina. Clearly, she wants to injure The Phenom’s
throat.
DAWN: Just softening her up for THE TORTURE CHAMBER.
As the official frantically tried to free the trapped brunette, Heather laced into the trapped and choking
Christina with a stiff boot to the ribs. The Monster then exited the ring and backed up along the ring
apron as Christina began to gag; her face turning a bright red. Abruptly, The Monster ran forward and
nailed The Phenom in the side of her face with a sick looking running boot. Like a shot, Christina went
limp from the impact as her eyes fluttered for a minute and spittle began drip from the corner of her
mouth began she began to gag again.
Finally, the official managed to open the ropes enough for the seemingly barely conscious Christina to
collapse to the canvas. Heather re-entered the ring and with another double handful of hair, yanked the
brunette to her feet. The Monster took a couple of steps toward the center of the ring before she spun
around, ran toward the ropes and tossed Christina through them and down to the arena floor. A second
later, despite the official’s objections, the blonde powerhouse exited the ring to continue her assault.
The Monster grabbed Christina, yanked her up and drove a stiff knee into her stomach doubling her
over. Heather maintained her grip on the brunette’s hair and led her over to the steel ringside steps
before she smashed The Phenom head first into the unforgiving steel. A second face smash quickly
followed and then a third before Christina spun around, staggered a few steps and then sank to her
knees with a thin stream of crimson ran down her face from a tiny cut opened by the steel.
JAIME: Uh-oh; Heather has busted Christina open.
DAWN: And she’s just getting warmed up.
JAIME: Christina needs to get some offense in or this may wind up being worse for her than the film clip
we saw earlier.
DAWN: Trust me; it will be.
The blonde powerhouse rolled back into the ring to break the official’s count and then rolled right back
out to continue her punishment of The Phenom. Heather dislodged the ringside steps and lifted the top
half of the steps before she turned around to face the still-struggling-to-rise Christina. As the brunette
stood and turned around, The Monster rushed forward and slammed the edge of the steps into her foe’s
head, dropping her like a bag of dirt. As Christina struggled to raise her head, blood streamed onto the
arena; the small wound, now a gash pouring crimson.
The Monster tossed the steps aside as Christina struggled to shake off the blow she had just received.
Again, Heather grabbed a double handful of The Phenom’s hair and yanked her off the arena floor;
blood quickly streamed down the brunette’s face as the blonde led her over to the base of the ringside
steps. Abruptly, Heather slammed the bloodied beauty head first into the ringpost, opening up the gash
even further.
With Christina dazed, it took little effort for Heather to scoop her opponent into the air. The Monster
quickly positioned the brunette upside down before she stepped onto the base of the steel ringside
steps. Heather tensed for a second before she rose onto her toes and dropped The Phenom’s skull
onto the steps; a hollow ‘thud’ resounding throughout the arena as The Monster nailed her finisher, THE
MONSTER MASH [Tombstone Piledriver]. Christina collapsed onto the base of the steel steps,
convulsing for a few seconds before she went limp.
JAIME: OH MY GOD!! I think Heather has just killed Christina!
DAWN: Not quite yet. I think Heather has one more thing in mind for ‘The Phenom’.
The Monster rolled back into the ring and got right into the official’s face a second before he was about
to count out both women. Instead, the blonde cowed the referee back into a corner before she exited
the ring to continue her punishment of The Phenom. To everyone’s surprise, Christina was trying to sit
up despite her blood loss and pain that wracked her body. Heather helped the brunette make it to her
feet before she backed up a few steps and then ran forward to nail her opponent with THE SPIKE
RUNNER [Running Thumb to Throat]. Again, The Phenom hit the arena floor; this time gasping for air
and still bleeding profusely.
Arrogantly, Heather yanked the still gagging Christina up and shoved her against the ringpost before she
took several steps back. Abruptly, the sadistic blonde rushed forward, intent on landing another SPIKE
RUNNER. Instead, Christina moved out of the way at the last second and Heather hit nothing but steel.
A bloodcurdling scream came from the blonde’s lips as she cupped her dislocated thumb and sank to her
knees; the digit bent back the wrong way.
As the official exited the ring to check on the injured blonde, Christina finally seemed to shake off the
effects of her punishment, despite blood still streaming down her face. A cold glint came into the
brunette’s eyes as she reached underneath the ring and pulled out a steel chair. When the referee tried
to check Heather’s hand, The Monster screamed and shoved the official against the ringside barricade.
The official collapsed in a heap and never saw what happened next.
JAIME: Uh-oh, I don’t like the look in Christina’s eyes.
DAWN: Why the hell is the referee laying down on the job now? He should be disqualifying Christina.
Heather turned around and was greeted with a vicious chairshot courtesy of an enraged Phenom. The
blonde staggered forward a couple of steps before she collapsed face first onto the thinly padded arena
floor. When the dazed blonde raised her head, blood streamed from her forehead and formed a puddle
beneath her face while Christina hovered behind her.
With rage driving her, Christina moved in with the chair still in hand. The brunette stepped onto her
opponent’s right wrist and began to slam the edge of the chair into Heather’s already damaged hand
again and again as the blonde’s screams echoed throughout the arena. Finally, the bloodied brunette
tossed the chair away and stepped away as Heather’s moans filled the air and she rolled onto her knees
and cradled her nearly useless right hand.
Christina continued her attack as she pulled Heather to her knees before moving behind the blonde
Amazon. The Phenom cupped her foe’s face in her left hand and then began to tattoo the blonde’s open
wound with vicious right fists. After ten shots, the enraged brunette allowed Heather to pitch forward
onto the arena floor. Just then, a figure emerged from the back and sped down the ramp wearing a
referee’s shirt; it was Gabrielle Reece.
JAIME: Up next, we have another pair of debuts in the Heavyweight Title Tournament. The Phenom,
Christina Dzieduszycki takes on The Monster, Heather Pedigo.
DAWN: They may be debuting here in the AFW, but they are no strangers to each other. I believe they
faced each other when they were rookies in the minor league fed of the now defunct FWF. And as I
recall, Heather nearly ended Christina’s career that night.
JAIME: That is true, but then again, Heather has nearly ended the careers of several grapplers. We
have both women in the back. Standing by with Christina is Alyssa Milano; Alyssa, take it away.
ALYSSA: First, let me welcome you to the A.F.W. Christina.
CHRISTINA: Thank you Alyssa; it’s great to finally be here.
ALYSSA: Your trial by fire is beginning with a woman you have not so fond memories of I believe.
CHRISTINA: That’s an understatement. I’ve face Heather before and she nearly ended not only my
career, but my life. I hardly remember the match, but I remember the hospital stay afterwards.
ALYSSA: Well, I believe we have a clip of the ending of that encounter. If you look at the monitor with
us, perhaps you can narrate some of what was going through your mind.
SHANNON: Thanks Alyssa. I’m here with Heather Pedigo. Heather, it looks like your opponent is fired
up for this contest.
HEATHER: Did you see what I did to that twerp? I had almost forgotten how wonderful it felt to see her
choking on her own blood.
SHANNON: (with a shocked look on her face) Th-that’s terrible Heather. Surely you aren’t proud of
almost ending another woman’s career.
HEATHER: (eyes blazing) Are you for real? Or are you a complete moron? I am nicknamed The
Monster and that clip is a reason why. I BEAT WOMEN UP AND MAKE THEM BLEED! You get in the
ring with me and it could be the last time you do. Anybody who expects me to have mercy on them
should go home because if they insist on getting in the ring with me, their next stop will be the nearest
hospital. Now, get the hell out of my way; I’ve got somebody to cripple!
The blonde Amazon stormed off, leaving behind a speechless Shannon who seemed to be visibly shaken
by The Monster’s statement.
JAIME: After what we saw earlier with Melody Spetko, I had hoped there would be no more sadistic
displays, but it seems like Heather has other ideas.
DAWN: I can’t wait to see this carnage; let’s go up to the ring announcer for the intros.
NINEL CONDE: This is a Heavyweight Title Tournament Match. Introducing first, she hails from Seattle,
Washington. Standing five feet-nine inches tall and weighing in at one hundred forty-seven pounds,
here is The Phenom, Christina Dzieduszycki!!
Christina appeared beneath the JumboTron to a rousing ovation as the brunette struck a sexy pose
before she went into a brief flexing routine as The Heavy’s “How You Like Me Now?” blared across the
arena speakers. The statuesque brunette strutted down to the ring and then circled the ringside area, hi-
fiving the fans before she slid into the ring and mounted one of the corners to pose for the still cheering
crowd.
The Phenom wore a powder blue halter top with white trim and matching workout shorts with a wide, white
waistband that accentuated her beautiful tan. The brunette completed her outfit with powder blue
kneepads and knee-high powder blue wrestling boots with ‘THE PHENOM’ stenciled in white along the
sides. Christina jumped down from the ropes and quickly received her instructions from the official
before she backed into one of the corners to wait for her opponent to be introduced.
NINEL CONDE: And her opponent, she comes from Indianapolis, Indiana. She stands five feet-eleven
inches tall and weighs in at one hundred eighty pounds, here is The Monster, Heather Pedigo!!
Heather stomped onto the stage with a sneer on her face and was promptly greeted with a healthy
chorus of jeers from the Chicago fans. As the powerful blonde strode down to the ring, she stopped
every so often to strike a flexing pose that showcased her ripped physique. Heather wore a black sports
halter, matching spandex shorts with silver stripes along the sides, and black leather wrestling boots with
‘MONSTER’ stenciled in silver along the sides. She accessorized her outfit with silver kneepads and
elbow pads and silver wrist tape.
The Monster walked around the ring and shouted insults back at the crowd when she saw a fan at
ringside with a sign that read ‘THE PHENOM RULES!’ Heather quickly grabbed the sign and wiped her
behind. The blonde then pointed at Christina inside the ring before she ripped the placard to pieces.
Finally, the powerhouse entered the ring and retreated to her corner to allow the official to check her and
give her instructions for the match.

ALYSSA: Christina, that seemed to have left you speechless. What was going through your mind at the
time?
Christina closed her eyes for a second before she bit her lower lip and took a few hitching, deep
breaths. Finally, the brunette opened her eyes and flashed a blazing look at the camera.
CHRISTINA: That was the first time I have seen that footage since it happened. As far as what I was
feeling….I didn’t feel a thing; I was unconscious by the time the referees came into the ring. But my last
thought was that I was going to die. I couldn’t breathe and I already had a concussion from the chairshot
that maniac gave me. I remember waking up in the hospital the next day, unable to talk with a throbbing
headache and a terrible pain in my throat while I breathed through a tube. A week later, I left that
hospital and almost gave up being a wrestler.
ALYSSA: After such a vicious attack-
CHRISTINA: As I said, I ALMOST gave up being a wrestler. But then, I remembered how much I loved
competing and I went back to the gym and re-dedicated myself to making sure nothing like that ever
happened to me again. So far, it hasn’t. But tonight, I am sure that Heather would love nothing better
than to finish the job she started on me.
ALYSSA: Well, that match did cement the nickname she-
CHRISTINA: Alyssa, I thank you for showing me that clip again but don’t interrupt me again. Heather, I
will live with the memory of what you did to me for the rest of my life. But tonight, I am going to give you a
memory; the empty feeling of coming up short when I beat you tonight. I may not get total physical
revenge on you, but you will never get close to that Heavyweight title. Instead, I am going to make sure
you remember how badly you failed tonight. Tonight, The Phenom will get her revenge.
With that, Christina waved off Alyssa and walked away; the fire still blazing in her eyes.
ALYSSA: A determined Christina seems like she is ready for action. Shannon, take it away.
The action picks up with an already bloodied Christina trying to get to her hands and knees while a clearly enraged Heather is hovering behind her with a steel chair. The referee is face down in one corner of the ring and not moving. As the brunette struggled to her feet and turned around, Heather brought the chair down over The Phenom’s head, sending her crashing back to the canvas; blood still streaming from a gash to her forehead.
Heather tosses away the steel chair and again waits for her opponent to get up. After nearly a half minute, Christina staggers to her feet with blood blinding her vision. This time, as she turns around, Heather rushes toward her and hits her with THE SPIKE RUNNER [Running Thumb to Throat]. Immediately, the brunette crashes back to the mat, clutching at her throat. With The Phenom on her back, Heather jumps into the air and lands a kneedrop to the already choking brunette’s throat. A second short kneedrop follows before Heather leaps up again and finishes THE SPIKE DROP [3 kneedrops to the throat], leaving a bloody Christina gasping for breath.
Finally, the Amazon blonde yanks the gagging Phenom up, locks on a cobra clutch while she jams her thumb into the throat of The Phenom, locking in her finisher, THE TORTURE CHAMBER [Asiatic Spike, Cobra Clutch combo]. Christina begins to panic and try to dislodge Heather’s grip to no avail. Slowly, the brunette sinks to her knees while Heather continues to press her thumb into Christina’s throat. After nearly fifteen more seconds, the Phenom slumps back against her attacker and blood begins to pour from her mouth as her arms and legs splay wildly.
Referees from the back rush into the ring to try to dislodge Heather. The Amazon responds by letting go of Christina and landing haymakers to each of the officials. Finally with another four referees down, Heather reapplies THE TORTURE CHAMBER and Christina’s eyes roll back in their sockets while more torrents of blood spurt from her mouth. After nearly another minute of this sickening violence, security rushes into the ring and removes the manic blonde leaving Christina writhing on the canvas in a pool of her own blood while she continues to cough up crimson.

Gabrielle immediately ordered Christina to move the action back inside the ring. The Phenom nodded at
the new official as she yanked her blood-soaked foe off the arena floor and rolled her back into the ring.
Christina and Gabrielle rolled in simultaneously before the brunette popped to her feet and pressed her
attack on the rising heavyweight. The Phenom grabbed the bloodied blonde and landed a stiff Yakuza
Headbutt to the left side of The Monster’s head. Christina then alternated a trio of forearm smashes with
headbutts until Heather staggered back into the near corner and slumped against the turnbuckles; the
ropes being the only thing holding the merciless heavyweight upright.
The brunette wiped the blood from her eyes before she pulled the equally bloodied blonde out of the
corner and locked on a front facelock. Christina showed her surprising strength as she lifted her
opponent into the air and dropped her crotch-first onto the top turnbuckle connector; the move elicited a
shrill screech from The Monster. The Phenom climbed onto the middle ropes before she connected with
a stiff uppercut that nearly knocked Heather from her perch.
Before the blonde could tip backwards, Christina reached out and grabbed her foe and locked on
another front facelock. With a handful of Heather’s shorts, Christina stepped onto the top rope and then
lifted the heavyweight into the air. A second later, The Phenom drove Heather into the canvas with her
finisher, THE EMERALD CITY MASSACRE [Brainbuster Superplex]; the blonde spasming wildly for a few
seconds before she went limp near the ropes. Christina quickly covered her foe and waited for Gabrielle
to count.
ONE…
TWO…
THR-
At the last second, Heather draped a leg over the nearby bottom rope which interrupted the count and
forced the bout to continue.
JAIME: That was pure instinct on Heather’s part; nobody kicks out of that finisher.
DAWN: Heather is not just anybody. In fact, I predict she will have The Phenom screaming in pain
shortly.
A frustrated Christina got to her feet and started to pull Heather up with two handfuls of hair. Abruptly,
The Monster slammed a vicious uppercut between the brunette’s legs; the impact sent The Phenom
staggering away in pain before she finally collapsed in a heap. The blonde slowly staggered to her feet
while Christina tried to shake off the illegal crotch shot. Just as the brunette recovered and stood,
Heather grabbed her, lifted the brunette up and dropped her crotch-first onto her knee with a wicked,
inverted atomic drop. Before Christina could collapse, The Monster bounced off the ropes and nailed
her foe with a sick-looking big boot to the side of the Phenom’s head; the impact flipped Christina in mid-
air before she crashed to the canvas like a sack of bricks.
Instead of trying to pin her opponent, the bloodied Heather exited the ring and inexplicably, crawled
underneath the ring. A half-minute passed before the heavyweight crawled back out. As she did, she
dragged a tool box with her still useful left hand. Heather opened the metal box and rummaged through
it until she found what she was after; a roll of duct tape. The blonde gritted her teeth as she began to
tightly wrap her right hand. Finally, the job was done and Heather tossed the tape away and re-entered
the ring after Gabrielle warned her not to remove anything else from the tool box.
Heather landed another kick to Christina’s head before she headed over to the near corner. The blonde
then began to remove the turnbuckle padding despite Gabrielle’s objections. When The Monster had
succeeded, she tossed the padding into the crowd and turned her attention back to Christina. The
powerhouse then grabbed her recovering foe, scooped her into a side carry and dropped the brunette
across her knee with a wicked backbreaker that had Christina cry out in pain. The Monster followed up
as she yanked her foe up and lifted her into a bearhug. After a few seconds of shaking, Heather lifted
her foe higher and then fell backwards, driving Christina’s head into the exposed turnbuckle and re-
opening her wounds. The blonde powerhouse arrogantly covered her opponent as Gabrielle got into
position to count.
ONE…
TWO…
THRE-
At the last possible second, Christina managed to lift a shoulder off the mat and prevent Heather from
winning the match.
DAWN: How the hell??????
JAIME: Christina has the heart of a champion; she simply refuses to lose.
DAWN: Now, The Monster is going to have to live up to her name.
A seething Heather screeched at Gabrielle for not counting faster before she hauled The Phenom to her
feet. Facing the corner, the powerful blonde locked on a front facelock and then started to lift the
bloodied brunette up for a suplex. Instead, The Phenom floated over and landed on her feet. She then
shoved the shocked Heather into the exposed corner, chest-first. As the stunned blonde stumbled from
the corner, Christina spun her around, lifted her into the air, spun around and drove The Monster into
the mat with a wicked spinebuster slam before she collapsed in a heap a few feet away.
Seconds ticked by while both warriors tried to shake off the punishment each had sustained. Finally,
after nearly a minute, both women staggered to their feet to renew their attacks. Heather moved in with a
vicious eye- rake, temporarily blinding her foe. The Monster quickly locked on a front facelock before
she grabbed a handful of her foe’s shorts and lifted her into the air. The powerful blonde demonstrated
her strength as she held Christina upside down for nearly ten seconds. Abruptly, Heather dropped The
Phenom across the top rope as she set up for her finisher, THE SPIKE DRIVER [Slingshot Brainbuster
Suplex]. However, as Christina bounced off the ropes, The Phenom again pivoted in mid-air, grabbed
Heather and dropped her with her finisher, THE CRUSHER [Inverted Diamond Cutter].
Both women lay on the canvas, trying to overcome their blood loss and the punishment each had
suffered. Finally, the blood-soaked Christina got to her feet as her opponent writhed on the mat, trying
to clear her cobwebs. The Phenom motioned to the crowd with a ‘thumbs up’ before she shook her
head and turned it into a ‘thumbs down’. The brunette then backed into the far corner and took a three-
point stance while she waited for her foe. As she did, The Monster staggered to her feet and wiped the
blood from her eyes with her good hand.
A second before the blonde powerhouse turned around, Christina rushed toward her target, hitting
Heather with a sick-looking spear that nearly tore The Monster in half and took all the air out of the
heavyweight. The brunette kipped to her feet and then pulled her foe off the mat before locking on a
front facelock. The Phenom shocked everyone when she showed her underrated strength by lifting
Heather into the air. A second later, she drove the bloodied blonde into the canvas, completing her
finisher, HAMMER AND NAIL [Spear followed by a Jackhammer Suplex]. Quickly, Christina covered her
larger foe and waited for the referee to count.
ONE…
TWO…
THR-
At the very last second, Heather kicked out of the pin attempt and rolled onto her side as she clutched at
her throbbing ribs.
JAIME: Whoa! Christina nearly finished off this upset just now.
DAWN: I cannot believe she has Heather on the ropes. It must be her lucky night.
JAIME: Luck nothing; she’s not called The Phenom for nothing.
Christina wiped the still-oozing crimson from her eyes as she got to her feet. The ripped brunette
attacked her foe anew as she rolled the blonde onto her stomach, sat down on the small of the Monster’s
back and cinched her damaged right arm up between her shoulderblades in a tight hammerlock. When
Heather tried to push herself off the canvas with her free arm to alleviate the pressure, a smile came
over The Phenom’s face as she swiftly snaked her arm underneath the blonde’s neck and pulled back;
THE PHENOMENON [Dragon Sleeper, Hammerlock, Modified Camel Clutch combo] locked on tightly.
As Christina leaned back, the pressure on Heather’s spine caused her to sputter out an objection just
before the sleeper started to take effect and the crimson-covered blonde began to drift in and out of
consciousness. With her last reserve of strength, The Monster futilely tried to reach backward and either
rake her foe’s eyes or grab hold of the brunette’s tresses. Christina simply leaned further back out of
harm’s way while tightening the deadly hold. A few seconds later, the Monster’s left hand fell limply
against the canvas as her eyes closed. Gabrielle quickly leaned in and asked for a response from The
Monster before she lifted the blonde’s free arm. It fell limply to the mat and the Amazon official quickly
called for the bell while she ordered Christina to release the hold.
DING! DING! DING!
When Christina refused to release her unconscious opponent, Gabrielle warned her that she would not
only lose the match if she continued, but could also wind up permanently injuring Heather. Suddenly, the
bloodlust gleam in The Phenom’s eyes disappeared and she let go of her deadly finisher, allowing the
blonde to collapse onto the canvas.
NINEL CONDE: Here is your winner and advancing to the next round of the Heavyweight Title
Tournament; The Phenom…..Christina Dzieduszycki!
JAIME: What a spectacular win for Christina. Against all odds, she overcame a horrible beating to
begin the match, rebounded and put her personal demon down.
DAWN: And to add insult to injury, she KO’d Heather! I guess it is better to be lucky than skilled.
JAIME: Thankfully, Christina is both. Let’s take a break now before we come back with another
tournament match.
