So, with all of the BOTB 4 talks going around lately, i'll review what i've seen so far, and finish it after i finish the tape. Also, i have BOTB 3 downloaded and i'll review that as well later.
M-dogg 20 vs. Gabriel vs. Trent Acid- very fun. It's a "push play" kinda match where everyone is flying from bell to bell. Good match, and Gabriel makes a name here.
Berk vs. Dragon vs. B-Boy- Gold. Maybe even better than the last match. Great announcing here, and all three men look great and trade every suplex in the book.
Ruckus vs. Fury vs. Mamaluke- very good as well. Ruckus is very underrated, and super innovative. Mamaluke was good as usual, and Fury was decent. I love this concept BTW!
Storm vs. Fleisch vs. kashmere- well, we're 4 for 4. Great first round. This is short, yet very fun.
Battle Royal seemed to be very disjointed, and way to long. The commentators kept horrid track of who was even it in, and who was eliminated. Kinda overkill i guess.
Acid vs. M-Dogg was good as well. Great opening sequnce, then it gets lost a bit. Bit it's picked up quickly with a crazy Acid bump. Good stuff, man Acid is a good singles star!
Dragon vs. B-Boy- Good, but not as great as i'd hoped. I guess when you see those names together, you just hope for a MOTY. This told a story and got stiff, but something was missing. By the same token, i was really tired when i was watching that one, so i'll watch it again. But it wasnt bad by any means.
Ruckus vs. Mamaluke- Very good. I took a nap in between this and Dragon/B-Boy, so i was re-energized for this. Both guys look great, and the clash of styles makes this click all the more. Ruckus is MADLY underrated.
Fleisch vs. Storm- Definetly my MOTN so far. Great great stuff, that made the show better for me. Both men flew like crazy and hit some great spots.
Acid vs. B-Boy was good, yet very short. Really enjoyed the stiffness and hybrid style of this, but for obvious reasons it was brief. Good while it lasted though.
Fleisch vs. Ruckus was mad fun. One of the best matches of the show. More insane flying, and good phychology at the same time. Fleisch major push = Total GOLD!
both belts: Mondo vs. Pain vs. Messiah- very good, although the shady ref angle kinda slows this one up. Mondo is on fire here, and Messiah also looked very good. Mondo stole the show, but everyone seemed to impress. Nice table legdrop at the end...SOMEONE CALL 911!!!!
Main Event: Fleisch vs. Acid- One of the best matches of the night, and Fleisch was built to look AWESOME. Good false finishes, and good flying even though both men had been through so much. I was expecting a MUCH slower pace, but they blew me away. Cheers to Acid!
Final Thought: If you haven't seen or own this, it's CERTAINLY worth picking up. There are plenty of fun matches, and the 3 + final round are worth the money by itself. Overall Grade...8 out of 10...B+
