WCW THUNDER #44: Brie Bella v. Doudrop

e let's kick things off with a display of sportsmanship yeah nice mutual respect always nice to see uh or not oh but this is even better to see I can't wait to see these two go at it it's not about respect tonight Byron is this what you would consider mind games oh it sure seems like this is how we greet you every day with this match up officially underway now I have to say I don't see it being the Sportsman like Affair respect isn't a prerequisite Cole it's not something you have to have for your peers and it's definitely not something to give out freely if you want respect in WWE you have to take it never forget that the arm absorbing the damage tremendous pressure being applied in this head [Applause] crank might take her head clean off her shoulders great awarness as she proves to be too quick put into the corner now oh compressed in the [Applause] corner what are they doing here you can see the intent behind that attack exploiting the arm must be the strategy here look out slingshot crossbody to the outside larat cor you going to think of any obvious weakness of Bri bellers that could be exploited in this match well Cole Brie's an impressive competitor but she's used to having backup by her side if you can make her feel vulnerable maybe get inside her head then Bree's confidence in herself might start to crack perfectly aimed strike from Brie Bella look out suicide died to the outside all Does It Better absolutely throwing all caution to the wind spitting in the face of danger and now gets tossed into the ring places her right in the corner Big Splash in the [Applause] corner on the neck with Reckless abandon grabs the leg just good old toss for the leg not the prettiest thing you'll ever see but it sure looks effective from here that offense taking a toll on her close line from the middle rope G got that cover and here's a cover she kicks out with authority after two if she keeps the pressure on then next one might do it oh huge Splash Bri is having any hopes of gaining momentum Dash smart strategy here trying to shatter Bree's confidence by showing her how vulnerable she really is good drop by the receiving end re reversing the momentum
