WWE Women's Championship Lumberjill Match
Ashley vs. Melina (c)
WrestleMania 23
So I'll be honest I didn't give a shit about whether women's wrestling was any good or not back then. I was 12, just going into puberty, hot chicks half naked? Sign me the fuck up. Any criticism I can or have made of this era is hindsight.
Also as a little tangent, it took me forever to find this match on the stream. I finally had to look up the card on Wikipedia to read the match order. All that jumping around also wrecked havoc on my stream.
Does it seem like I'm seem like I'm stalling? Because I am. On my venture to Wikipedia , I also saw the match time. According to Wiki it goes just shy of 4 minutes. So yeah not a lot to talk about in terms of notable moments or any of that.
However, I will say that despite my very low expectations going into this, it wasn't terrible. I mean I'm not gonna try to convince you this is some lost classic or a 5 star rebellion against the sex sells philosophy of the time, because it wasn't. It was the piss break between the two biggest matches on the card. And for that, it served its purpose.
Neither try to do anything they weren't capable of (I guess some would debate Ashley trying to wrestle at all was more then she was capable of.) and kept it simple. Aside from one spot early on, the lumberjills are just there to get everyone a payday. It's certainly the worst match in this project so far but all in all I've seen worse. A for effort, C for everything else.
