Ford Park Exhibit Hall, Beaumont, TX
Despite nasty weather, a solid crowd showed up for Hurricane Pro Wrestling’s Queens of the Ring II. The evening’s match ups were broadcast live on Title Match Network on their YouTube channel. There were seven matches in all and all of them were excellent.
Along with a few familiar favorites, Hurricane Pro offered up some new faces throughout the evening. Vert Vixen, Tesha Price, Riley X Paris, Veda Scott, Amber Rodriguez, and Madi Wrenkowski all made their debut appearances at QOTR2. I also believe that this was Ivelisse’s first appearance at a Hurricane Pro event.
The night’s action started off with a solid match between Amber Nova and Madi Wrenkowski. Wrenkowski held her own with Amber throughout the match, but Nova’s speed and veteran skills eventually pulled through and gave her the win.
Next up was a triple threat match featuring the HP debuts of Vert Vixen and Amber Rodriguez and the return of fan favorite, Alex Gracia. Much like in her previous match at Hurricane Pro, Alex seemed to stay on her heels for most of the time but she eventually sprang into action. She unleashed a 619 on Vert Vixen and appeared to be poised for the win, but Vixen had plans of her own and won the match in commanding fashion.
Next up was a battle of wits between Simone Sherie and Veda Scott. The duo fought a fairly even match that ended with Sherie taking the victory. Scott had a sweet interaction with a young fan just prior to the match when she asked a young girl to hold her glasses for her.
Once the dust settled from the Sherie/Scott contest, Will Allday entered the ring full of swagger. He answered Miranda Alize’s open challenge on social media with a very hilarious video and planned to teach her a lesson in the ring. After a very entertaining match, Alize came out on top but not without controversy. During the match, Allday knocked the referee unconscious, which in turn caused Miranda’s first successful pin of Allday to be missed. The pair struggled some more and Allday exited the ring to grab a chair. Regaining consciousness, the referee stopped Will from using the chair but he didn’t see Alize spit a red mist in Allday’s face, costing him the match. Something tells me that these two still have a few more matches left between them.
The next match of the evening was my personal favorite. Former Lucha Underground star and current Shine Women’s Champ, Ivelisse, battled the young star that everybody has an eye on, Rok-C. Ivelisse successfully defended her Ladies Night Out championship against Rok-C, and there’s no doubt in my mind that Rok-C gained a ton of knowledge from the amazing veteran.
Tesha Price and Riley X Paris battled it out after the Ivelisse/Rok-C match. While Paris put up a decent fight, Price stayed in control for almost the entire bout. I was very surprised by Price, and hope that she returns to Hurricane Pro again in the near future.
Second only to the Ivelisse/Rok-C battle was the main event of the evening. Heather Monroe defended her HP Women’s Championship against Hell’s Favorite Harlot, Priscilla Kelly. Say what you want about the Killer Bae, but Heather Monroe has accepted all challenges for her belt and has successfully defended it each time. This Saturday’s match was no different, as she successfully defeated Kelly in a match that included a ton of interaction with the fans. Kelly had most of the crowd on her side, but Monroe loyalists such as myself recognized that the champion would not be defeated this evening.
After the final bell rang, most of the ladies came out to visit with the crowd. I got a photo and autograph from both Priscilla Kelly and Heather Monroe. I tried to get a photo with Ivelisse, but she wasn’t around until after I already left. Hopefully I’ll catch her next time, as she’s one of my favorite wrestlers.
Hurricane Pro’s next event is scheduled for February 22nd. It looks like the New Warriors and Great Sexy Love will put an end to their feud at this event. The first match has already been announced, and will feature the reigning Hurricane Pro Cruiserweight Champion, Bu Ku Dao, facing off against Barrett Brown.
If you’re in the southeast Texas/southwest Louisiana area, be sure to check out a Hurricane Pro event. You won’t be disappointed.
Thanks for reading my post. I’ll have plenty of things to talk about in the very near future!
