El Sucio vs a Kamakazi:
("A" not "the") Kamakazi had fabulous facepaint
and they both weighed about 140. This was good for a third or fourth match
by both- in that they they had a lot of spunk and were trying really hard,
though they were doing everything way too fast and were using a preposterous
amount of finishers. El Sucio was throughly hated by the 40,000 children
at ring-side, so he does have that part of the biz down. Sucio cheats to
win with the help of Dragan Frost and Kamikaze feels the first burn of
wrestling hatred....
Rob Royal with the fabulously great Neal Sharkey
vs the guy that Rob Hoffman will tell us the name of:
Rob Royal is starting to grow on me and this
match was in slow motion compared to the previous match. Royal works on
the leg and there is shenanigans to make the finish happen. Little kids
make any match molten and fun. Royal and Sharkey cheat right in front of
Commissioner Hoffman and he DOES NOTHING! NOTHING! You disgust me, Hoffman.
Kiley McLean vs Casey J Austin vs Flayre:
Kiley is my friend Kelly and she is actually
good so I'm glad I don't have to lie in case she reads this. Flayre is
scrawny and will take a bump but her punches and kicks weren't very good.
Casey J Austin is a bigger gal who looks like she could develop into a
good wrestler. Half of her punches and kicks and lariats look good. the
other half don't look good. Kiley had some nice spots and her offense looked
really good in most places- as she could really develop into a good monster
heel type indie gal at some point. They have a 47 person run-in. Me -n-
mulDOOMSTONE feign running in. Casey J retains her title via no contest
when PAPER TIGER Commissioner ROB "Bud Selig" HOFFMAN doesn't have the
CAJONES to restart the match.
Dragan Frost vs this blond haired guy (editor's
note: Gideon Wrath):
I think Dragan Frost trained this kid and the
kid was pretty good for a rookie. He would take a giant beating and didn't
fuck anything up. They have this section where Frost's stable comes and
gives Blond boy the business but Kamikaze, Flayre, Casey J and some other
folks came in and made the save- and THEN FLAYRE TURNS ON CASEY! WHY IS
THERE NO LOVE IN THE GWA WOMEN'S DIVISION?!?!?- and after it all clears
out, commissioner Hoffman comes into the ring to chastise Frost about interfering
in every match and he wants it to end right now. Frost says Hoffman has
3 seconds to get out of the ring. Hoffman, being the pansy commish that
he is, turns to leave the ring BUT TURNS AROUND AND GIVES FROST THE BEST
LARIAT OF THE NIGHT! ROB HOFFMAN, AMERICAN BAD ASS. Me -n- mulDOOMSTONE
completely lose it as Blond boy makes the pin after hitting his finisher.
I wonder if the doughy Hoffman delivering the stiffest lariat of the evening
(well, before the Preston Quinn match anyway) is a good thing? Me -n- mulDOOMSTONE
try to find the nickname to capture the essence of Sudden Stomper Of Asses
That Is Rob Hoffman. I think I wept openly as we head to intermission.
Mike Booth vs Mike Lynn:
Booth is a Quinn trainee and he is pretty solid
for a rookie. He didn't punch as well as a usual Quinn trainee but every
thing else- especially his psychology- was pretty developed. Lynn was fun.
"Roofer by day, wrestler by night" is what I said to MDS right before he
hit a picture perfect Elbow drop. I dug both these guys. MDS wonders if
he went to high school with Lynn in Virginai Beach. (Rob "Beast From The
East" Hoffman fights the urge to Lariat both men and win the match himself.)
Global Tag Champship: Chris Escobar/Dirty Money
vs Preston Quinn/ Brandon Day:
This match fucking ROCKED. Old School Southern
Tag match with PQ and Day being textbook Southern faces. The crowd developed
into this MOLTEN entity as Quinn and Day took turns recieving the ass-beating
and then making MONSTROUS LY molten comebacks that blew the roof off the
place. Quinn is motherfucking DICK MURDOCK when he punches folks and we
were just fucking FREAKING OUT. The story is that they are crimping Quinn's
knee and Quinn is selling it like a GOD. Day is always on the spot when
controlling the heat of the crowd and is flawless in bringing the crowd
into the match while Quinn is being worked over. Escobar was trained by
Quinn and his punches are also fucking GREAT. I had just seen him sell
for Magic and bump like a mental patient for him at the last NWA-VA show.
Here, he is becoming a complete wrestler on offense and has picked up every
heelish trick in the book. Quinn sells so well that you buy that a guy
170 pounds is inflicting the damage. Dirty Money needs another helping
of pants but he was fun as the evil power guy. There is a errant belt shot
by the evil manager and it sets up Quinn hitting the toprope legdrop and
then writhing in agony as Day makes the cover. Postmatch, Fat Ass Dave
says to me, "That match was perfect" and he was right. (The Mad Man From
The Sudan- Rob Hoffman- fights the urge to lariat all four men and win
the match himself.)
There was a match here but I don't remember there
names - Something Wayne and the other half of the Russian Mafia back in
the day. I was talking to Kelly and didn't pay enough attention so I'll
let mDs fill you in. I think the finish did not involve the Texas Bronco
Rob Hoffman lariating everyone and winning the match himself. I'm pretty
sure actually.
(Editor's Note: It was the GWA
title match: "Unbreakable" Greg Steel (indeed, formerly "Mikhael Kolov"
of the Mafia) defending against another VCW trainee, Damien Wayne.)
Buff Bagwell vs Phil Brown:
Phil Brown is with Neal Sharkey and then are
heat machines. Buff was trying to not mail it in when I was hoping that
he would go 5 minutes and cash his check. They do some wrestling and the
lights go out when the generator outside quits and we scream "SABU!"- as
we expected him to appear when the lights came back up. After a few more
seconds, I figured they are struggling to get "JAKE THE SNAKE!" through
the ropes. But actually the just went out and our shouts went for naught.
Buff wins with SOMETHING after the lights come back on. (The Ugandan Giant
Rob Hoffman fights the urge to lariat both men and win the match himself.)
It was a fun night of wrestling with varying quality of wrestling and one fucking GREAT match. Plus you could but Little Hug fruit drinks for 40 cents. If it ain't in a community center, it ain't worth going to.
Fuckin' A.
