00:00Here in Tampa, what a way to start off, NWA power, and Markova, certainly gonna have her hands full with a young and hungry Kelsey Heather, but always on the mind of Markova, is Kenzie Page in the NWA World Women's Championship.
00:19Well, Kenzie Page is at the top. All the women are aiming for Kenzie. She's had a bullseye on her back for, you know, two years. I mean, it is what it is, right?
00:30Kelsey Heather, looking great. I love the color scheme, right?
00:36This is kind of a new look, new attitude for Kelsey Heather. Had a chance to talk to her earlier today here at the power station.
00:43I bet she didn't know, Joe Galley, that she has played for the Buccaneers and she's played for the Tampa Bay Lightning.
00:49Well, in their cheerleading department, not played.
00:51No, no, she played for them.
00:52Oh, that's that note. I think you misinterpreted that.
00:57Oh, no, no. She is an all-world athlete.
01:00What position did she play for the Buccaneers?
01:04I'll watch on Sunday. I didn't really catch that.
01:06It's all very technical. I know you're not a big football fan.
01:08All right, Will.
01:09But she is an all-world athlete.
01:10Well, I do believe that, as is Natalia Markova.
01:14Natalia!
01:15And these two, they're like tied up together, like a couple of pits, right?
01:21Locked horns, and both of them choosing to break, but it's kind of a feeling out process between these two.
01:28And again, Kelsey Heather.
01:30Well, Kelsey knew to the NWA, right?
01:32So, you know, I don't know how much familiarity.
01:34Whoa, okay.
01:36Well, clearly, they had the same game plan.
01:38Oh, wait a minute.
01:39Try to do that same split-leg escape, and now we're just devolved into a slugfest.
01:50It's a splitfest.
01:51Yeah, there you go.
01:52This is a very uncomfortable back and forth that Markova seemed to get the advantage on.
01:59That seemed to take out a lot out of both of them, too, right?
02:01They were both slow to get up.
02:03Well, I don't think I would be able to get up at all.
02:05As Markova, a little bit of showboating, and again with a split leg right across the throat, and a kick-out.
02:14Across the throat, but she still allowed Kelsey to recover a bit.
02:20Look at this.
02:20This is a good strategy by Kelsey right here.
02:21Out under the apron.
02:23This is a good strategy.
02:25Get out, take a break.
02:25Missing the kick.
02:27Tie her up in the ropes.
02:30This is a very precarious place to battle.
02:32Now down into the power station.
02:34Markova out on the floor.
02:37Well.
02:38Oh, geez.
02:39Kelsey wanted to take it outside.
02:40Oh, and Markova got the worst of that.
02:42A kick to the gut.
02:44Dumped Markova out to the floor.
02:46Markova trying to recover.
02:47Those are those strong legs.
02:49Maybe she may have been a kicker.
02:51Oh, is that what it was?
02:52Maybe.
02:53She got some strong legs.
02:53The double arm.
02:54She's looking for the DDT on the stairs.
02:56That's pretty brutal, isn't it?
02:57What did Kelsey do to her to deserve that?
02:59She's just trying to win a match, pay a light bill.
03:02Markova.
03:03Oh, wait a minute.
03:04Kelsey.
03:04Kelsey, no, don't do it.
03:06Oh, face first into the corner of the steal.
03:09Well, hey, if you want to get rough.
03:10Yeah, you know.
03:11If you want to get rough, she can do that, too.
03:15Many talents in Markova's position would want to take the night off.
03:19Let's put it that.
03:20Let's put it nicely, right?
03:23Oof.
03:24Markova about to have the biggest match of her life
03:27at our anniversary show, which is our biggest night of the year.
03:33And so you kind of hold your breath a little bit
03:36because she's willing to endure a tremendous amount of punishment
03:38in every match she takes.
03:43Yeah, but she introduced the outside, too.
03:45That's the part.
03:46Okay, you're going to blame her.
03:47I mean, just all I'm saying is there's a risk involved.
03:50Oh, yeah, absolutely.
03:51That's what I'm saying.
03:52Like, I don't know why you would want to devolve it into a brawl.
03:55They could both get counted out here, too,
03:56while we're back here cartooning it.
03:59They can.
03:59Oh, there she is.
04:00All right.
04:01Well, Kelsey broke the count.
04:01Well, maybe it's to her benefit she does get counted out.
04:04Yeah, maybe.
04:05Save her from herself.
04:06Is that what you're saying?
04:06I know.
04:07They both almost got counted out, though.
04:08I'm shocked that they didn't.
04:10Kelsey.
04:11Kelsey's not going to let her back in.
04:13That's a smart move by Kelsey.
04:14No pads here at the power station.
04:17We're about 12 feet away from where Markova hit the concrete,
04:20and I felt the vibrations through my shoes when Markova hit the concrete.
04:25That was brutal.
04:27In the cover kick.
04:28Yeah.
04:29I'm liking this Kelsey Heather.
04:31She's real aggressive, physical.
04:34Right?
04:35Yeah.
04:35Same could be said for Markova with the number one contendership
04:39going after Kenzie Page at NWA 77.
04:42But Kelsey Heather, I think she wants to have her name added
04:47to the list of people with a shot at the Burke.
04:52Kelsey is writing her up.
04:53Markova to it.
04:55Whoa.
05:02Goes up to the knee.
05:05Oh!
05:05Shot.
05:06Good night.
05:07That's got to be it.
05:08Kick out.
05:10Wow.
05:10Heather staying alive in this match.
05:13What an opening contest.
05:16Tremendous toughness.
05:21Kelsey has done a lot more damage to Nat than she has to her.
05:27And she knows she's got to be feeling it here.
05:30Sidestep.
05:32Markova with the forearm.
05:33Elbows.
05:36We know where this goes.
05:37Oh, we've seen this before.
05:38We've got a missile drop kick.
05:42That was laser guided to the jaw.
05:45That's wild.
05:47I cannot believe Kelsey just kicked out of that.
05:51Hey, look.
05:52Kelsey's tough.
05:53All right?
05:54I don't know why you don't want to accentuate the positives here about her.
05:58Back elbow.
06:00Kelsey Heather.
06:01She's a tough woman.
06:02Somehow has been able to recover.
06:05Watch this now.
06:08Oh, standing moonsault right into the cover.
06:11That's it.
06:11Kick out.
06:12That should have been it.
06:13I thought she was going to go for the pin.
06:17Hard to second guess what she finished with.
06:21Markova somehow able to stagger.
06:25Of course, Markova, huge fan favor here in Tampa.
06:27Flipped over.
06:33Split leg jawbreaker.
06:36That's Markova.
06:36Yeah, she almost rolled out of the ring.
06:38Kelsey's got to get her back in.
06:40Trying to capitalize.
06:41Hang out of the rope.
06:42Perhaps go for the cover.
06:43And she does.
06:44Shoulders are down.
06:45Kick out.
06:46No, she would have had her if she didn't roll out of the ring.
