ArenaChicks promoter Amber O’Neal has revealed the card for the promotion’s first ever show, which is due to take place at midnight on Thursday August 11 as part of the Insane Clown Posse’s 4-day long Gathering of the Juggalos 2011 event at Cave-In-Rock, IL.

Previously, the matches compiled for the debut volume of ArenaChicks were amalgamated from a number of different shows hosted by CWF Mid-Atlantic Wrestling, based in Burlington, NC. This will be the first full-blown card put together by the promotion, with five matches announced for the twilight show, and it looks to be a strong lineup:

Amber O’Neal v Jessicka Havok
Sassy Stephie v Brittany Force v Allysin Kay
Angel Orsini v Josie

Epiphany & Jenny Star v Taryn Shay & CJ Lane
Jazz v Izza Belle Smothers

The start time of the show, coupled with the spectators themselves will be interesting. GOTJ is a blend of concerts, wrestling, games, contests, autograph sessions, karaoke, and seminars with artists. It could be wrestling fans that watch, or it could be a larger crowd which includes passers-by, curious souls and people who just want to catch a glimpse of some women in tight clothing fighting each other in a ring. For that reason, the reaction of the audience could be a fairly unique one. We hope that it is a huge success, and it is added to a future ArenaChicks DVD.

Makoto is defecting from Ice Ribbon to Tajiri’s SMASH promotion, where she has been booked on a number of occasions so far this year. SMASH was where the 21-year old returned on July 15 following her neck injury that she suffered on June 8 preparing for her series of matches against then-IW19 Champion Chii Tomiya.

Her final request before leaving Ice Ribbon to join SMASH (where she will begin on August 21) was to be granted an ICEx60 title match against champion Tsukasa Fujimoto last Sunday, but was unsuccessful in her challenge. Afterwards, Riho said that she was disappointed that Makoto was abandoning Ice Ribbon when she could have easily worked for both at the same time. It looks like the two will wrestle before Makoto’s departure, with Riho acting as the defender of Ice Ribbon.

Taping one:
1. Allysin Kay defeated Niya, Tina San Antonio & Marti Belle in a 4-way match to become the #1 contender to the Spirit Title. Kay pinned Niya. Jessicka Havok then came out to congratulate her Team Be Jealous partner, but Alicia responded by laying out Kay with a kendo stick to make sure she doesn’t interfere in the No Holds Barred match. Havok promised that she will kill Alicia tonight. KILL.
2. Nikki Styx beat Barbie with a tombstone piledriver to retain her NYWC Starlet Championship
3. Jana & Jessie “Bonesaw” Brooks bested Jennifer Cruz & Monique when Jana made Monique tap out
4. Serena Deeb pinned Annie Social after a spear. After the match, Serena got on the mic to say that she is the best female wrestler in the world, and that she wants the WSU World Title. She was interrupted by Rain, who made it clear that she wants the World Title too and says she won’t wrestle Gabby Gilbert (TAFKA Roxie Cotton), as she is too good to wrestle a midcarder. Deeb and Rain then agreed to wrestle in the second taping to determine who will challenge for the winner of Martinez and Lexxus for the World Title.
5. Sassy Stephie retained her Spirit Title over Amber with a Kiss My Sass. Allysin Kay was at ringside to scout her potential opponents. It will be Stephie v Kay in taping 2.
6. Gabby Gilbert defeated Violet with a butterfly submission after Gilbert issued an open challenge

7. Brittney Savage pinned Amy Lee with an Ace Crusher in an Uncensored Rules match which went all over the ACE Arena, with weapons including kendo sticks and a dildo. Yes – a dildo. Lee claimed that this was her last match and announced her retirement, saying she’s proud of Savage. Brittney responded by apologising for being “a bitch” for the last two years.
8. Mercedes Martinez defeated Lexxus with the Fisherman Buster in a SEVENTY-THREE MINUTE MATCH, surpassing the 70 minute affair between Martinez and Angel Orsini on June 6, 2009.

Taping two:

1. Annie Social pinned Monique with a split-legged stunner. Following the match, Rick Cataldo berates Monique, but is interrupted by Gabby Gilbert, who challenges him to a match.
2. Gabby Gilbert beat Rick Cataldo with a top rope cannonball
3. The Boston Shore (Amber & Lexxus) defeated Jana & Jessie “Bonesaw” Brooks to retain the WSU Tag Team Titles. As a team, the Shore are still undefeated in WSU and then demanded more competition.
4. Nikki Styx defeated Niya by submission
5. Sassy Stephie v Alliysin Kay went to a no-contest when Jessicka Havok convinced Stephie to join them in Team Be Jealous, much like when Bret Hart stopped brother Owen & brother in law Davey Boy Smith to put aside their differences and form the Hart Foundation stable. The new group is called the Midwest Militia. Marti Belle & Tina San Antonio came out to challenge them to a match.
6. Sassy Stephie & Allysin Kay beat the Belle Saints when Stephie hit the Kiss My Sass on Marti. After the match, Tina called Marti the weak link of the team. Marti replied that she has a secret about Tina, then left the ring.
7. Serena Deeb pinned Rain with a spear to become the #1 contender to the WSU World Title. After the bell, the Boston Shore jumped both Serena and Rain. Boston Shore v Serena Deeb & Rain will take place at the next WSU iPPV
8. Brittney Savage defeated Jennifer Cruz with an Ace Crusher. She then took down Monique and Rick Cataldo with the same move.
9. Jessicka Havok v Alicia’s No Hold Barred match ended in a no-contest in what was an absolute war which went across the building, into the bar and saw two doors being thrown into the ring to be used as weapons. Alicia even managed to put Havok through one door with a straitjacket powerbomb before her Midwest Militia buddies Allysin Kay and Sassy Stephie ran in for the save and to attack Alicia’s second Mercedes Martinez, who was there to neutralise the influence of the Militia. Brittney Savage came out to even the odds when Havok tried to smother Alicia with a towel and the referee threw the match out.

Afterwards, a War Games match with Martinez, Savage & Alicia v Havok, Kay & Stephie was announced for the next iPPV on November 19, and Martinez v Havok for the World Title was announced for the 5th Anniversary Show next March.
