Amid the fanfare of the signing of Rosario Delgado, ACW officials quickly signed her to a match against former champion Daniella Cartier. Though Cartier has been credited with discovering Delgado, the two girls were not necessarily on friendly terms coming into the match. Cartier had tried to assure Delgado that she would take it easy on her, an offer that Rosario felt was insulting.
Early in the match, it became clear that Delgado was not intimidated as she aggressively brought the action to Cartier, throwing various kicks and smacks at her taller opponent. Cartier was taken aback, but quickly regrouped and began throwing kicks of her own. Delgado fended off every attempt showing a poise that belied the fact that she was making her debut.
As the kick-fest continued, Rosario began controlling the pace of the match and seemed to lead as the two battled in a combative dance. After tossing Cartier to the ground, Delgado waited for her to get up and then ran out of the room through a curtain into an adjoining room, and prepared to attack. However, as the two entered the room, they found Daisee Douglas there, in the midst of a photo shoot. Douglas began yelling at them, prompting Cartier and Delgado to push her back and forth between them in a scene reminiscent of the characters from the film “A Night at the Roxbury.” A befuddled Douglas was thrown out of the room and staggered er way up the stairs to safety.
After circling each other, the two thrashed about until they ended up back in the other room. Cartier began to feel more relaxed and began trash-talking her opponent, calling her an “illegal refugee.” Delgado simply circled the taller girl, drawing her in like a spider, until, with Cartier in range, Delgado grabbed a flower pot off of the television and hit Daniella across the back of the head.
As Cartier lay writhing on the ground, Delgado brutally kicked her in the side and legs, chastising her for her disrespect. Cartier, sinking into a fog of desperation instinctively took Delgado off guard, wrestling her to the floor and pulling at her bikini strings. After several tries she successfully got to the strings and Rosario’s bikini top was pulled loose, revealing her ample and supple bosom. Cartier stood over her and gloated, waiting for Delgado to try to cover her breasts. Instead, with fire in her eyes, Delgado stormed straight to the former champion and reached out and ripped Cartier’s bikini top off of her breasts. With one breast hanging out, Cartier gasped in disbelief and made a move to pummel the smaller girl but Delgado refused to give any ground, instead wrestling Cartier to the ground and choked her with both their bikini tops.
