Masha Slamovich has been presented as a fearsome force on Effect Wrestling, but as of but she hasn’t managed to capture the company’s major women’s prize, the Knockouts championship.
Outdoors of Effect, the 24 year old Russian has won various titles on the independent scene. She also does not limit herself to chasing women’s belts. Slamovich competes against males in promotions all more than the planet, from PWG to wXw to GCW.
And it was at GCW Eye For An Eye final evening (Mar. 17) in New York City that she challenged Nick F’n Gage for their Globe title. Slamovich went twenty minutes with the Deathmatch King, and choked him out to emerge with the promotion’s Globe title.
Gage paid his respects right after the match, handing Masha the title he won for the third time when he beat Jon Moxley for it final October.
Slamovich celebrated in the ring with her parents (who jawed with the former champ throughout the match from their seats at ringside), and the GCW faithful at Melrose Ballroom.
Here’s the rest of the final results from Eye For An Eye, which also featured Steph De Lander (fka WWE’s Persia Pirotta) debuting as Matt Cardona’s new back-up (basically replacing his true wife Chelsea Green, who not too long ago returned WWE). De Lander helped Cardona defeat Homicide.
