Got a couple of DVD's from NCW Femmes Fatales out of Quebec, watched the first one and it was pretty good! The production is quite nice, especially for a Canadian indy - lots of camera angles (although the cuts are a bit too quick at times). Best match of the show was Hailey Hatred vs Cheerleader Melissa.
They started out with some simple chain wrestling, before Melissa surprisingly took the advantage and worked over Hailey's arm with some nice transitions into a Fujiwara armbar. Hatred tried to fight back, but Melissa shot out her knee and then went to work with a single leg crab and trailer hitch. Starting to get fairly confidant, Melissa kicks Hailey to the outside, but finds that Hatred is entirely in her element as she reverses a whip and sends Melissa crashing into the guardrail. Hatred waits for her back in the ring and then hits some big power moves for a couple of near-falls, including a nice fisherman superplex. Hatred goes for the lariat, but Melissa ducks and takes out her knee, going straight back to the single leg crab. Hailey gets to the ropes and starts throwing bombs Melissa's way, who answers back with some sick axe kicks that send Hatred sprawling, but the time limit expires as she goes for the cover. The fans chant for five more minutes, which we get, both girls bringing out their big guns. Hatred counters the Kudo Driver, knees Melissa in the face HARD and hits a real nice deadlift tiger suplex, but only gets two! Hatred goes for a rolling forearm as the final seconds count down and the match ends in a draw for a second time. Great stuff.

Elsewhere, Jazz vs LuFisto was really fun - it was a champion vs champion match and they did this cool spot where both of them got DQ'd for hitting each other with their belts at the same time. Jazz asks if LuFisto wants to get hardcore and they re-start under no DQ rules! They brawl to the floor, Jazz gets whipped into the barricade, but counters with a suplex onto the steel ramp! She hits LuFisto with some chairs and then throws a bunch in the ring. Jazz throws some forearms and hits a big X-Factor onto the chairs, but LuFisto kicks out at 2. She goes for a fisherman buster, but LuFisto counters and scores with a reverse uranage on a chair for the 3 count!

The main event was Kalamity vs Mercedes Martinez for the NCW Femmes Fatales title. This was a pretty good match that centred around neither girl being able to hit their finisher. Martinez eventually managed to hit the Kalamityville Horror Driver, but only got 2 and then when she went for it again, Kalamity countered into a sit-out fisherman buster for 2! She goes to work with some real nice kicks and charges Mercedes in the corner, but Martinez pulls the ref in the way and Kalamity hits him with a forearm. Mercedes kicks her low and grabs a chair, hitting an elevated DDT on the chair, but the ref's still out of it. He eventually revives and Mercedes goes for the fisherman buster, but Kalamity counters smartly into a roll-up to retain! Martinez goes crazy after the bell and finally hits the fisherman buster, but LuFisto runs down before she can do any more damage. Martinez & LuFisto brawl and the locker-room pours out to separate them. Good match.
