On 06/07/08 the Nashville Rollergirls returned to their hard-hitting roots with their first "city bout." The 2-0 Assault Rivals took on the 0-2 Damsels of Distress in the first bout of 2008 to showcase teams comprised of skaters from only the Nashville league. Even though the bout was held the same weekend as the CMA Music Festival, and the Federated Auto Parts 300 NASCAR nationwide series race, Rollergirl fans still managed to fill the Tennessee State Fairgrounds Sports Arena with about 820 fans in attendance. If this bout was anything like the first two Rivals vs. Damsels bouts from 2007, we were in for some seriously hard-hitting roller derby.
Dr. Gonzo got things rolling with team introductions and Mayhem N. Suze, league founder, joined in to help with the play-by-play as DJ Fat Andy spun some of the Rollergirls' favorite mash-ups. The first period saw two stellar jams for the Rivals, the second and the sixth, as Molotov M. Pale scored 8 and 9 unanswered points including a grand slam in the sixth when she lapped newcomer jammer Britches N' Hose (skating as Pantalones!). Not to be outdone, Damsels' jammer and veteran skater Lady Fury scored a grand slam of her own in the third jam of the period by lapping
Rivals' veteran and jammer Olive Turmoyl. The fourth jam saw first-time blocker, long-time skater, Comanche Red take the track in a jam that pitted relative newcomer Maulin Monroe against Britches N' Hose in her first jamming experience. Maulin came out on top with 4 points to Britches' 2 as Britches skated with a shorthanded line. The fourth Damsel blocker didn't make it to the track in time to participate. Both teams unleashed newcomer heavy-hitters in this period with Chinese Cheker scoring 2 jammer knockdowns for the Damsels while Macy Slay (skating as Foxy Shove) accumulated 2 momentum-slowing hits on the opposing jammer. The Assault Rivals' Violet Contusion also made her debut in the first period, racking up 3 hits on Damsel jammers. Sadly she wouldn't return to the track after fracturing her wrist late in the period. The first period ended with the Assault Rivals in the lead 21 to 10.
