Women's Extreme Wrestling
                                        (Pay-per-View I, ECW Arena, Feb 2002)

The Blackwidow, Amanda Storm, heads towards the ring with her good friend, Mr. Steel Chain. Alexis Laree rallies the crowd behind her as the fight is about to start. Can you spell M-I-S-M-A-T-C-H, boys and girls? Good. I knew that you could! Amanda Storm easily pushes Alexis off and down to the mat. Just in case anyone in the arena doubted her strength, Ms. Storm let's them know what her opponent is up against. Amanda tries to crack Alexis' skull like a walnut as she applies a tight side headlock. Amanda toys with Alexis as she forces her down to one knee.
Amanda shows her strength again as she easily scoops Alexis Laree up in preparation for a massive bodyslam. Like a spider playing with it's prey, The Blakwidow parades around the ring with her opponent on her shoulder. Alexis' eyes widen as she realizes there's no where to go but down! Ms. Storm finally decides to slam the helpless Laree. Notice how she doesn't merely slam the girl to the mat. Amanda tried to drive Alexis through it! As Alexis suffers on the mat after the brutal slam, Amanda immediately comes back to dish out some more punishment. Alexis finally realizes that there is no way for her to compete with Amanda Storm in a one-on-one, muscle-to-muscle clash. So Alexis resorts to a hardcore strategy as she smashes a steel chair over Storm's head.
Alexis tosses the weapon to the side as she sees that the chairshot only serves to make Amanda even madder than she had been previously. Uh-oh! An enraged Storm grabs a couple of convenient pigtails and tosses Laree throught the ropes and out onto the hard floor below. Can it get any worse for Alexis...? It sure can! Amanda follows Alexis out to the floor and works the beautiful brunette on the steel barricade. Ms. Laree is in big trouble as The Blakwidow drapes her throat over the metal bar and attempts to choke her into oblivion!
