[JoeRulz]

EVOLVE Florida tripleshot re-watch:





Jake Manning (1-1) vs. John Silver (1-1) *** (a perfect opener)

Chuck Taylor (8-3) vs. Colt Cabana (0-0) **1/4 (barely solid)

The Scene (2-0) vs. Cheech Hernandez & Mike Cruz (0-0) ***1/2 (a very good tag team match)

Style Battle 2012: Round 1
Tommy Taylor (0-0) vs. Jon Davis (1-3) ***1/4

Style Battle 2012: Round 1
Bobby Fish (3-4) vs. AR Fox (4-1) ***1/2 (really fucking good shit)

SHINE Preview Match
Santana Garrett vs. Sara Del Rey **1/4 (short, but solid)

Johnny Gargano (6-4) vs. Tony Nese (0-3) vs. Alex Reynolds (3-0) vs. Lince Dorado (0-1) ***1/2

El Generico (1-2) vs. Samuray Del Sol (0-2) ****


Another strong showcase from EW, not a single bad match (but Taylor/Cabana was really close), 6 matches over *** tells enough about the show's quality. The Scene tag, Fish/Fox and the 4-Way were all really, really good matches, and the main event was excellent. Simple and effective story about Generico finally facing off someone faster than him (a la Ricochet story), the match was really exciting.









Mike Cruz (0-2) vs. Tony Nese (1-3) *** (good)

Style Battle 2012: Round 2
Bobby Fish (4-4) vs. Tommy Taylor (0-1) *** (good)

Style Battle 2012: Round 2
AR Fox (4-2) vs. Jon Davis (2-3) ***1/2 (MOTN)

6-Way Freestyle
Caleb Konley (2-1) vs. Scott Reed (0-1) vs. Jake Manning (1-2) vs. Lince Dorado (0-1) vs. Alex Reynolds (3-1) vs. John Silver (2-1) *1/2

Colt Cabana (0-1) vs. Cheech Hernandez (1-0) **

El Generico (2-2) vs. Samuray Del Sol (0-3) ***1/2

Open The Freedom Gate Championship
Johnny Gargano © vs. Chuck Taylor ***1/2 (the overbooking actually helped this one)


Not as good as E14, but still a rock solid show, with 5 good matches. There was a stinker in the 6-Way match, but it was short, so no biggie there. Fox/Davis was pretty damn good, I'd say it was the MOTN, slightly better than Generico/Del Sol II and Gargano/Taylor. Gargano and Taylor had a good match, the beggining and the climax were really intense and fine, but the middle portion kind of dragged. Not as good as their E9 match, but still, this was a fairly good DGUSA Title match. Good show, but it was tough to watch, tbh, the visual impression was rough, man, the venue lookd very bush league, and there was only like 60-70 people (at best) in attendance. Yep, that's what happens when your whole idea of marketing and promoting is based on ''Please like or share this, thanks'' Facebook crap, Gabe. Get a fucking grip, and stop holding shows where you don't draw.









The Scene (3-0) vs. Kennedy Kendrick & Damien Angel (0-0) **

Style Battle 2012: Round 3
Tommy Taylor (0-2) vs. AR Fox (4-3) **1/2

Lince Dorado (1-1) vs. AR Fox (5-3) ***

Cheech Hernandez & Mike Cruz (0-1) vs. John Silver & Alex Reynolds (0-1) *** (surprisingly good)

Jake Manning (1-3) vs. Blane Rage (0-0) * (boring)

Tony Nese (2-3) vs. Johnny Gargano (6-4) ***1/2 (this was really good)

Chuck Taylor (9-3) vs. Samuray Del Sol (1-3) **1/2 (this needed to be better)

Style Battle 2012: Round 3
Bobby Fish (5-4) vs. Jon Davis (3-3) ***3/4 (MOTN)


Probably the weakest Evolve from the tripleshot, but there were still four really good matches, with Fish/Davis being the clear MOTN, it was the second best match of the weekend, right behind Generico/Del Sol I. Btw, Lenny Leonard was really fucking awful the whole weekend. REALLY awful.

Just got done watching Sami Callihan vs Davey Richards from AAW Bound By Hate. Now, I'll start off by saying I'm not on the 'Richards is the Anti-Christ' bandwagon; I still enjoy his matches from time to time, and his match with Elgin earlier this year is still my MOTY by some way. But THIS match pissed me off no end. Callihan works over Davey's leg for quite some time, Davey limps around a bit and lures me into thinking they might actually know what 'selling' is. Alas, Richards slaps me in the face when he completely drops the selling and jumps to the top rope and comes back down with a frickin' double stomp. To no effect...no wince, no gasp, nothing. Oh but then a few minutes later, Callihan applies a Stretch Muffler, and all of a sudden we remember weakened leg.

To make matters worse, the submissions Davey uses in the finishing stretch put pressure on his own legs but of course that's completely overlooked. Bah, this was just bad all round.

I was fine with the match up until all this and then it became pretty ludicrous.

Kyle Maverick vs. Hy Zaya **

AW2 vs. The Alpha Breed vs. The Northern Fight Club vs. DNA DUD

Alex Colon vs. AR Fox ***1/2

Adam Cole vs. Jake Crist *** (fuck you, DJ Hyde, for ruining what was a damn good match)

DJ Hyde vs. BJ Whitmer **1/2 (short, solid match; btw, I absolutely despise DJ Hyde, plus he's a horrible wrestler too)

Barbed Wire Boards Match
Ron Mathis vs. Danny Havoc ***1/2 (sheeeeiiit, I loved this)

Wired TV Championship
Dave Crist © vs. Devon Moore *1/2 (pointless)

World Jr. Heavyweight Championship (2/3 Falls)
Sami Callihan © vs. Drake Younger ***3/4 (really fucking good)

World Heavyweight Championship
MASADA © vs. Michael Elgin ***


Good show with 5 good matches. Callihan/Younger was really fucking good. No commentary is a huge plus for this show, too. Hopefully Elgin gets available for more CZW shows.

I pretty much expected the full out throw everything at each other approach to it the moment I heard these two were meeting. You know what you're going to get with Richards every time and the only question was if you were going to see the good or bad Callihan. It was fine all things considered but I don't know how they could label it one of the best matches in AAW history when there are at least two matches better then it on the same show. Elgin's coming into his own in AAW and I enjoyed the six-man main event even with the wacky finish to set up the next show's main event.

Texas Death Match:

The stip really killed the match. Why they didn't did just a LMS match or something like that? it was really weird.

The show was pretty much nothing.. i enjoyed some matches and Steen vs Edwards was great but nothing was must-see.
