PWG ASW9 Night 2​

Jay Lethal vs Willie Mack - ***
~ They set a nice fast pace from the outset. The Lethal Injection botch really killed the momentum and the 4 elbow drops didn't really sit well with me. Fine for what it was though.

F.I.S.T vs RockNES Monsters - ***1/2
~ Very enjoyable. I still feel like the RockNES Monsters aren't fully comfortable as heels; they certainly haven't been as interesting to watch. Gargano's spear to the outside with Yuma on Goodtime's shoulders was a bit contrived but looked cool. Loved the opening portion with Taylor and Goodtime on the apron, that was funny. Liked the match a lot but not as good as the FIST match from Night 1.

Paul London vs Trent? - ***1/4
OK I absolutely LOVE the 'duel' gloves thing. Usual London insanity and it's awesome. Nice little STJoe from London too. And as for Trent being spiked on his head taking the mushroom stomp...OUCH. Perfectly fine match, perhaps nothing I'll remember in a few months, but it was pretty enjoyable at the time.

Unbreakable Fucking Steen Machines vs Inner City Machine Guns & AR Fox - ****1/4
~ SO. MUCH. FUN. Some incredible stuff here; particularly loved the ICMGs and Fox hitting simultaneous ridiculous dives to the outside. And that finish where they absolutely DESTROYED Fox was beautiful and brought a wry smile to my face. I feel like I can't go any higher with the rating as a few of the spots felt a bit contrived, especially some of the double teams and when Cage/Elgin did their 'picking up two guys at once' shtick which fell a bit flat. But that was a marginal blip on the otherwise consistently awesome contest we got here. Steen totally ruled this.

TJ Perkins vs Samuray Del Sol - ***1/2
~ Great stuff here, total sleeper match of the weekend. As you'd expect, their styles gelled incredibly well, and this was chock full of awesome lucha flips, counters and reversals. TJP totally whiffed a diving kick but still pinned SDS which was a shame, but apart from that it was all very crisp.

Sami Callihan vs Kyle O'Reilly - **3/4
Best part was Excalibur and Steen chatting about tandem bicyles while Kyle and Sami chop the shit out of each other. Some of the stuff on the outside was good but overall this didn't do too much for me. Leg work in the middle portion was nice...and then Kyle promptly forgot about it. O'Reilly's triangle elbows look like shit as well, seriously dude. Loved Sami stomping his head in though.

Young Bucks vs Dojo Bros. - ****1/4
~ Awesome. Same rating as their Mystery Vortex match for me, I probably need to go back and rewatch that one, but they're both as good as each other. Young Bucks are so good at eeking out the win; they can always 'hang' with their opponents, but they never seem to be able to cleanly beat them which makes for fun viewing and asserts them as legit, even if they do have to cheat. Dojo Bros might be my fave tag team right now. ROH needs to put the Wolves to bed and let Roddy and Eddie rule the tag division.

Adam Cole vs Drake Younger - ***1/4
Well, I'm glad to see Younger wrestled safely with regard to his head injury. Made Cole look like a total dick any time he went near his head too. Although I fear it will lead to more of Drake's consistent no-selling, his Super Drake shtick makes for a good character the Reseda fans can get behind. And I like that Cole had to eventually steal the win rather than 'properly' beating him. Pretty good match but I guess somewhat lacklustre for a main event.

Just finished with the Smart Mark Video Best of Matt Tremont DVD..

The interview is OK i guess. It covers his entire career pretty much. Nothing groundbreaking or anything although the tooth picks still being in his head was pretty amusing from the KOTDM a few years ago.

If anyones after it I just listed it on eBay
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=171043139559

His IWA East Coast performances are on there and some of my favourite matches of his.

Surprised nobody's mentioned the hilarious moment of Swann saying "who wants to see a dropkick" and Steen throws up a perfect dropkick to his face during the power flippy match. Best part of the entire ASW.

The entire match is just filled with awesomeness. Like I said, one of the most entertaining matches I've ever seen.

AJ Styles & Amazing Red vs. Briscoe Brothers (7/19/2003)-****
-Still love this match, these 4 had excellent chemistry and while not as frantic and balls crazy as the first it I felt it told a better story. Some awesome back and forth between both teams and love the Briscoes working over the knee of Red in addition to doing whatever it took to get the win and also how Red’s injured knee played into the dynamic of the fish. Awesome stuff, other than Styles these guys were less than 5 years pro damn impressive.

Ultraviolent Dog Collar Match Confirmed for Tournament of Death XII
Monday, May 20, 2013 @ 04:07pm EDT

Last week the CZW Wired TV cameras caught up with both Matt Tremont and Joe Gacy following their brutal match at Proving Grounds. During the course of the interviews, Tremont challenged Gacy to an Ultraviolent Dog Collar Match in the first round of Tournament of Death XII. To see the video, click here now. CZW Officials have confirmed that Tremont will face Gacy in the first round of Tournament of Death XII in an Ultraviolent Dog Collar Match. For tickets to the kick off of the Summer of Ultraviolence 2013, visit the CZW Pro Shop now. You can also follow all the action from the comfort of your home by ordering the delayed iPPV at CZWiPPV.com. To discuss all things CZW related, be sure to "Like" CZW on Facebook and/or Follow CZW on Twitter @combatzone #CZW & #TODXII.
Wasn't Tremont supposed to be wrestling Hyde in the first round? Whatever. I've always liked these Bullrope/Strap/Dog Collar matches for some reason so I guess this will be at least a good one.

I guess other opening round matches will be Havoc-Tsukamoto, Vortekz-Lucky and Hyde-Mathis.

If its short, I don't know if I'll outright despise Tremont vs Gacy. I do love the stip added. I have zero faith in Sloppy Joe so who knows what to expect come TOD.

Probably something bleh. However, I didn't hate their WrestleCon match. I will say that was much more tolerable than I anticipated.

I'mma watch indy stuff for the best of 2000s thing and will talk in here. I don't think I've ever made a post in here so if Indy DVD Thread means actual DVDs only then I apologise and feel free to lynch me.

Steve Corino v. Cham Pain (OMEGA 12/1/00)
Cham Pain is notable WWF jobber Marty Garner; most famously known for mistaking HHH’s pedigree for a butterfly suplex and breaking his neck on it. Here he is in the main event of the return OMEGA show, and was the last OMEGA champion before the company went down. Pre-match promo (well, actually it was at the start of the show while the match was at the end of it) has Cham Pain saying he doesn’t feel right being called the champion anymore, so he vacates it. Corino comes all heely, and is the ECW champion, so hey have a title v. title match tonight (I guess Pain isn’t really the champion, though). The match was good, but kind of disappointing, and I’m not entirely sure why. I mean I know why it was disappointing – it wasn’t as good as I thought it might be. But why did I think it would be THAT good? I don’t know. They open with some pretty average ‘duck clothesline’ shit and it doesn’t get any interesting until Corino gets control. He grabs a chair, and a few guys chanting ‘ECW’ make him not even use it to hit Pain, but use it to instead sit down and give him a headlock assist. Ain’t seen that before. Pain throws a really cool right hand and is willing to bump. Especially the final table bump. Hooooooly shit. Corino pushes him from the top rope to the outside and he pretty much does a corkscrew senton into it. We get an unconvincing ref bump (he pretty much walked into the airplane spin), a CW Anderson interference and a poor man’s NWA-80s babyface save (I think it was Venom/Joey Abs…or Mike Maverick. I haven’t watched enough OMEGA to know). This was pretty good overall.


Speaking of OMEGA, Matt Hardy’s running them again in a few days, apparently. Main event for the first (or only) show will be Hardy/Helms v. Corino/CW. That could be good.


I went to watch the other 2000 I had lined up but it turns out they’re on Schnieders that haven’t arrived to my house yet. I WANT TO KNOW WHO ORION IS DAMMIT.


American Dragon v. Spanky
American Dragon v. Reckless Youth
American Dragon v. Low Ki

^All from the ECWA Super Indy tourney on 2/24/01.

Baby Danielson v. Baby Kendrick! Spanky match was fun as hell and I enjoyed it way more than their 2005 match in ROH. Dragon works the arm and Kendrick is a good seller. Couple of counters here were really great – Danielson hitting two great-looking headbutts only for Kendrick to counter the third with a forearm to the face, and Dragon countering a crossbody attempt into a Fujiwara armbar. Adding some STIFF chops doesn’t hurt. This gets a little ‘indy’ at times, Dragon kind of forgets about working the arm and Spanky botches something on the ropes, but otherwise this was a hugely fun ten minutes.

Didn’t care about Dragon/Youth a whole bunch. I really have never seen anything from Reckless Youth that makes me think he was anything special. I care not at all to watch anything from him. I’ve seen him get some heat with a smarky CZW crowd, so that’s something, but that’s pretty much it. He does that stupid ‘ask to get hit’ thing and then falls down and doesn’t get back up anyway. This is why we can’t have nice things, Tom Carter. I stopped caring about this a few minutes in.

Ki match was good shit. Dragon works the leg after Ki sells the most FLIPPY dragon-screw leg whip of all time. Dragon forgetting about his own limb work kind of irked me again, but Ki was a really good seller. He did shockingly well given he had to sell that leg, while using stuff like jumping KARATE kicks and somersault stuff off of the top rope, in between hobbling and collapsing to the floor. He even bent his leg weirdly on the Ki crusher. Throw in more stiff chops and you have a good match.

10. BONUS MATCH: DJ Hyde vs. Sami Callihan (FCP Project Mayhem 2011)

This was freakin’ amazing. Fabulous deathmatch, old school slugfest.

****1/2


Decent show with three good matches, but the main event was a letdown. And in fact, it was because of Callihan. Yeah… The tag titles match ruled. Oh, and that bonus match was fucking awesome.
 
#9,446 ·
Yeah, Necro wrestled Izzie Deadyet in March. Match was friggin' awesome with the majority of it being Necro killing Izzie. Like its real brutal stuff where there were a few cringe worthy spots. Actually the show as a whole was grand just because of the environment. ISW 3D is certainly worth checking out. Necro's match against Chris Dickinson is also worth a watch.
