November 18, 2006 Bout:
The Legion of Zoom vs. The Axles of Evil
STATS

The Nov. 18 intraleague bout at Mardi Gras World was a sold-out showdown between opposing forces of evil: The Axles of Evil v. The Legion of Zoom. Captains Ponchartrain BeAtch and Marquee de Squad led the Legion to annihilation of the Axles with a huge point spread: 93-43. Jammers Wit Vicious, Victoria von Doom and Scabigail racked up points for the green-clad Legion, while blockers Jaws, Crusty, Shay-Bay, Sugar, Cooney Coo-coo and Babycakes worked excellent wall defense in tandem with Bessie Smithereens and Mace, who shined as double duty jammers and blockers.

The Axles of Evil never could gain traction. Jammers Sophie Nuke'em, Illegally Blonde, Trixie la Femme and Cherry Pi raced to earn points while blockers Kelkat, Snatch, Vandal, Ruffit, Buck Wild and Bruise Springsteen worked to close the gaps. Though the purple-clad Axles never could get ahead, they managed to give some hard hits -- particular CHEAP THR!LL and Little MaSCARa.

New Orleans punk band The Tomatoes adrenalized the fans and skaters with music pre-game and at half-time, and DJ Facial Hair kept everyone pumped up during the bout. BERG sponsor Vespa New Orleans made laps around the while BERG mascot Ruthie the Duck Girl tossed delicious Loretta's Pralines to the audience.
