Search - Women's Extreme Wrestling, Volumes 5-8 on DVD

Potential to be great, but they made too many mistakes.

(2 out of 5 stars)

"This is the second DVD 4-event set from WEW, live from a

sports bar in Dover Delaware.



This league features a few women of great potential to be

stars in the world of women's wrestling, such as Alexis Laree,

Tai "Killer" Weed, and GI Ho. Each of four events features

about 5 or 6 matches, with backstage activity, and a bit of

comedy.



However, they made some frustrating mistakes:

1. Too much talk. Too much of the disk space is wasted on

guys in the ring yammering, and backstage non-sense.

2. Half the matches include MEN wrestling, and guess what,

whenever it's man vs. woman, the woman always wins.

3. Many of the matches are edited. In the middle of some

good wrestling action, the match is jumped forward.

4. Poor camera work. Too much showing drunks guys in the

crowd, and close-ups of men's rear-ends.

5. A lot of junk you want to fast-forward through, such a

match between two handicapped men, a chaotic battle royale

in which half the competitors are men, and 5-minute tirades

with the microphone before matches.



On the positive side: some of the other wrestlers worth seeing

are Sinnamon, Annie Social, Persephone, Candy, Psycho Bitch,

Prime Time Amy Lee, Simply Luscious, Missy the Schoolgirl,

Riptide, and others. Unfortunately, Brittney the Schoolgirl

is not featured.



Also, if you like some comedy, "The Smoke" (a hilarious take-off

on The Rock) appears several times. Also, if you think that

Papa Mae and the Mae family are funny (I don't) they also

appear throughout.
