Diane decided, instead, that Dixxon was now vulnerable. Releasing her chokehold, she whirled around in back of Donna, pulling harshly on both of her arms. She then crossed her feet and pushed them against the back of Dixxon's head and neck. The maneuver served to force added leverage as she yanked painfully back on Donna's arms while at the same time straining Dixxon's upper back and neck.

Hunter, sensing that she had now applied a hold that was inescapable, leaned back, knowing with little more effort on her part, she was putting Dixxon in excruciating pain. Dixxon, in frantic straight recognized that despite the pain, her career in ACW was in jeopardy. She refused to submit, despite Diane admonishing her to do so. For more than two minutes she resisted Diane's hold, praying that her own will could outlast that of Hunter.
