“The Pumpkin Queen” Sage Sin vs. New York Knockout Nikki
Santino Bros. Wrestling (SBW) has been a great place to enjoy young talent from California and the state’s surrounding areas since SBW opened up shop in 2008. So it makes sense that the 1992 born “The Pumpkin Queen” Sage Sin would want to hone her craft in this company while making the rounds in southern California’s indie scene. At the March 7, 2014 SBW Showcase she took on veteran New York Knockout Nikki in a match where Nikki had over a decade more experience than her opponent.
This is far from a squash match, but by the end of it New York Knockout Nikki slaughters Sin like Nikki Bella slaughters the dramatic arts. Nikki starts off by going for Sin’s legs. After this Nikki insults her by picking apart her nickname and calling her a pumpkin head rather than “The Pumpkin Queen.” If Nikki really wanted to put her down though she should have called her Pumpkinhead II or even gone with a full throttle putdown and called her Pumpkinhead II: Blood Wings. God that movie sucked!
At any rate while Sin doesn’t get much offense in she is pretty good at selling. Also, Nikki is quite funny when she slams the referee by calling him out over his slow counting. At one point she looks at him in mock seriousness and says, “You know what comes after two?”
For the finish Nikki takes a page out of TAKA Michonku’s playbook and hits her young opponent with the finisher of the former WWF Light Heavyweight Champion.
