IWA-EC - Extreme Dreams

1. Smokey C vs Zac Vincent
*1/2
Too long

2. Matt Conard vs Viper
*

3. Chance Prophet vs Aaron Draven
*3/4

4. 2 Tuff Tony vs Shane Douglas
*1/2

5. Bulldozer vs Jason Kincaid
**3/4
I saw Bulldozer come to the ring looking like shit and thoughts jesus christ this will be awful but

somehow it wasn't.

6. The In Crowd vs Chance Prophet & The Juggulator
*1/4

7. Mad Man Pondo vs Tommy Dreamer
*1/2
I don't understand why Tommy agreed to this match or why he ever agreed to Dobson doing so much interference or so poorly...

This was legit one of the worst Independent wrestling shows I've ever seen bar one or two live shows.

[sXeMope]

Anyone here have the Sami Callihan, Jon Moxley, and Joker BOTI's from SMV? Considering buying them, but I was wondering how they were.

CZW Ultraviolent Cage Fighting

I picked this 2008 compilation up cheap off of Amazon. I've not seen much CZW & I'd heard crazy things about COD VI, so my curiosity got the best of me...

1) Highlights from Cages Of Death I-III: Rudimentary stuff, featuring plenty of stiff weapon shots & dangerous bumps. A decent showcase of how rapidly CZW's popularity, production values & creativity grew in those early years.

2) Cage Of Death IV - Zandig vs. Lobo: A fairly lifeless brawl with enough nasty headshots & stunts to get the crowd fired up. After an intensely violent, convincing pre-match angle, this is disappointingly sluggish - at no point does it seem like a real fight *1/2

3) Cage Of Death V - Team Zandig vs. Hi-V: Action packed, high concept multi-man garbage, which delivers high-risk lunacy in spades, but peaks a little too soon ***1/2

4) Cage Of Death VI - Team Ca$h vs. The Blkout: The most ridiculously chaotic & reckless stuntshow you're ever likely to see. Wall-to-wall carnage - some of it majestic, some clumsy as hell. It's amazing no-one was more seriously injured delivering this preposterous spectacle ****

I've seen the Moxley one and it was ok. The interview was fine. I've got Jokers but have yet to watch it and hope to never see Callihans.

[JoeRulz]

Kevin Steen vs. Peter Avalon *** (that chest)

Brian Cage-Taylor vs. Ray Rosas ***1/2 (BCT is a fucking machine, of course, but Rosas was BOSS here)

Candice LeRae vs. Joey Ryan ** (uh, oh… Andy Kaufman was doing it much better)

Scorpio Sky vs. TJ Perkins *** (good shit right there)

The Young Bucks vs. The RockNES Monsters vs. The Super Smash Bros ***

Alex Koslov vs. Kyle O'Reilly **1/2 (Koslov needs to be booked more often)

Willie Mack vs. Roderick Strong ***1/2

World Championship
El Generico © vs. Eddie Edwards vs. Kevin Steen ****1/4 (excellent match, nonstop action 3-Way, loved this)


Not a great show (by PWG's super high standards), but this was still a lot of fun, shitload of good wrestling, with the main event 3-Way being the MOTYC. Excalibur was awesome as usual, of course. The match between BCT and Ray Rosas was really, really good, right behind the main event. Rosas was great in that one, hopefully they book him and Koslove more often. The main event was excellent, IMO, one of the best 3-Ways recently. There was your usual Steen/Generico awesomeness, but combined with Eddie this time. It was a fresh and different dynamic. Thumbs up for ths show.
