The Flying Hammerlock Video Review #81: Taeler Vs. Candice

 

QOC Title Tournament Semifinal Match: Taeler Hendrix vs. Candice LeRae, QOC 7, Ziggy's, Winston-Salem, NC, November 29, 2015.
 

Santana Garrett got sick, so a four-way match was held with Candice, Heidi Lovelace, Deonna Purrazzo and Barbi Hayden to determine Taeler's replacement opponent, which Candice won.
 

Taeler runs at Candice but Candice moves out of the way.   Candice powers Taeler into the corner and punches away at her but Taeler knocks Candice down to the mat.  Taeler runs at Candice but Candice takes her down with an armdrag.  Then another armdrag.  Then a hiptoss.  Candice covers and gets 2.  Candice brings Taeler up and gets an arm wringer.  Candice, still holding onto Taeler's wrist, runs to the corner and scales the ropes but Taeler knocks her off the top to the apron and down to the floor.  Candice gets up and Taeler stomps her from inside the ring.  Taeler goes out of the floor but Candice catches her with a forearm to the chest.  Then another forearm.  Taeler recovers and tries to roll Candice back into the ring but Candice spins and kicks Taeler.  Candice returns to the ring and runs off the ropes but Taeler hits her in the midsection.  Taeler covers and gets 2.  Taeler covers again, same result.  Taeler screams and headbutts Candice in the midsection.  Taeler grabs Candice by the top of her head and positions her between the bottom and second ropes and places her boot on Candice's back.  Taeler grabs a rear waistlock but breaks before the referee gets to 5.  Taeler grabs Candice's head and sends her backwards into the mat.   Taeler gets a sort-of Abdominal Stretch but Candice counters it with a hiptoss.  Candice covers and gets 2.  Taeler responds by raking Candice's back.  Candice gets to her feet in the corner and Taeler gives her two kicks in the midsection and screams, "HOW DOES THAT FEEL?"   Taeler then claws Candice's midsection.   Candice comes back with some forearm shots to Taeler's midsection, but Taeler responds with a hip attack to Candice's midsection.  Taeler snapmares Candice and applies a bodyscissors.  Candice pushes backwards for a pin and gets a 2 count.  Candice counters the hold by turning it into a surfboard-like hold.  Taeler doesn't give up and escapes the hold.   Taeler grabs Candice's throat and starts choking her but breaks before 5.  Candice is down and Taeler steps on her midsection.   Taeler kicks Candice's midsection twice.  Candice pushes Taeler into the ropes.  Candice charges in but Taeler kicks her again.  Candice tries again but Taeler leans back between the ropes and kicks Candice again.   Taeler cartwheels to the middle of the ring and gets in a shot to Candice's throat.  Then a knee to the midsection and an ax kick to the back.  Taeler covers and gets 2.  Taeler applies another bodyscissors.   Candice pushes backwards again for another pin attempt and gets 2.  Taeler adds some shots to the back.  Candice responds with some back elbows, with Taeler releasing the hold.  Taeler tries to whip Candice to the corner but reverses it and sends Candice to the opposite corner instead.  Taeler says, "CANDICE LERAE, this is your gut check."  Taeler cartwheels over to Candice but Candice slips out of the ring to the apron.   Candice gives Taeler a forearm shot.  Candice goes for a spear between the ropes but Taeler blocks it but Candice takes Taeler down and follows with a dropkick.  Candice covers and gets 2.  Taeler retreats to the corner and Candice charges in with a shoulder to the midsection.  Candice positions Taeler on the top turnbuckle and meets her up there.  Taeler headbutts Candice and drops down to the mat.   Taeler charges in and goes for the upside-down headscissors but Candice pushes her down to the mat.  Candice goes for a bodypress but Taeler avoids it.   Taeler starts to climb up the turnbuckles but Candice stops her and hits her with a backstabber.   Candice drags Taeler into the middle of the ring and goes for a cover but only gets 2.  Candice brings Taeler up in a front facelock and signals for something but Taeler escapes and kisses Candice, distracting her enough to deliver a big kick and score the 3 count.  ****
