Your winner and first-ever FWE Women's champion, Maria Kanellis!
The match was OK. Kanellis' offense looked a little light but hell, she's been out of the ring for two years. Winter really is a hell of an underrated worker as she did a good job in both of her appearances here. I thought the interference was a little much for my tastes but the idea here was that Winter got her comeuppance for interfering on Tara earlier tonight.

FWE Notes: Solid indy show. Lots of guys and girls working hard up and down the card...The venue is literally a huge meeting room in St. Paul's Church which has housed boxing in the past. I had never heard of the venue before but it's an awesome little venue. If they could put bleachers in here (not possible) it would be an incredible place, but there's a nice atmosphere here...They drew in the 300-350 range...The show was filmed or DVD and Blu-Ray release with HDNet's Michael Schiavello and Frank Trigg on commentary...Brian XL was backstage...They utilized Victory Pro Wrestling's ring....They announced Brian Kendrick debuting and Rosita appearing on the 3/24 FWE return to Manhattan. former TNA champion Petey Williams will debut here in April....For more on the promotion, visit www.FWEWrestling.com.
