March 13, 201510 yr Author comment_5658314 I really like this match. June Byers was the star of women wrestling at this time (a good amount of footage is available on Youtube) but Violet Viann outwrestled her in this match. Viann was a tremendous underdog here.
March 28, 201510 yr comment_5661306 A fun match. Agree that Viann worked great underneath. Byers choke on Viann, while she picked her up into a body slam position, was really nice lil piece of business. Enjoyed the first struggle over Byers hammerlock, and it foreshadowed what was to come nicely. The utter disdain for the ref had me chuckling on the side too.
August 25, 20169 yr comment_5765144 The ref spots in this reminded me of that quote from a WWE writer on how they used to book women's wrestling. No heels, no faces, just crazy bitches. Really enjoyed the aggression worked into all the holds here. I'll echo the thought that Vivian sold well as an underdog, but I'll add that June did look pretty badass with her choice of offense, especially the arm work early and the drop kicks on a tied up Vivian later on. Also love the finish with Vivian finding just enough to win with a late match rally right when she looked out of it. ***1/2
