IWA-MS May 7, 2004 ''You Gotta See This''
# of emotional Ian Rotten speeches: 3!!! A RECORD!
1. Trik Davis vs "The Turkish Delight" Murat Bosporous
- Trik is still your indy hardy-boy #234.5a, Murat totally won over the crowd with his power moves. He's from WXW in germany?? Hey a Narnia refernce/having "delight" as part of your wrestling nickname = tape-viewing GOOLLLDDD.
2. "Spyder" Nate Webb vs Petey Williams
This was a good match, these guys have great chemistry. Webb is crazy over and both of them are incredibly innovative, lots of unique and awesome sequences in this one.
3. Chris Hero vs Eddie Kingston
I love Eddie Kingston. He's a beefy NEW YAWKER who can get actual heel heat (pretty rare these days IMO). Hero abused him with the many cravates, was fun.
4. European Rounds System: "Anarchist" Arik Cannon vs Chad Collyer
I am so bored by Cannon I am having an impossible time giving him a fair chance. They try to call him an evil Chris Hero, yet he has a receding hairline, is paunchy and can only get heat by wearing a tank top that looks like a trash bag. Collyer's Inappropriate theme song (Now you're messin with a... SONFOABEEEYYYIITTCCCH) makes me loathe him, and there's something about his face that makes him The Godfather's heir apparent as THE BLACK HOLE OF CHARISMA. I confess to fast-forwarding with little to no shame.
5. Ian Rotten vs Danny Daniels
Daniels seems like a teacher's pet. I hate it when owners book themselves on a show. Boring to boot.
6. Ryan Boz vs Eddie Venom
Ehhhhh. For a more interesting way to pass the time, trim your asshair with a handmirror.
7. Samoa Joe vs Steve Stone
Steve FUCKING Stone is over but I dunno, I think he's kind of like Rikishi - he pops the live crowd but on TV he's not so hot. Joe beat on him, was ok.
8. Lacey & Rain vs Mickie Knuckles & Daizee Haze
Ah now we're talking! Mickie knuckles is THE sh*t, and Lacey is a lot of fun - she plays a great priss. Daizzee seems kind of - not ready for prime time - but Lacey can carry her. Once again I propose the theory that Rain secretly has a HUGE rack.
9. The Amazing Red vs Austin Aries
Good stuff, Aries has "it" IMO. Red looked great, much better than his other recent stuff that I found kind of lackluster. Red wore the TNA shirt and got himself some heat.
10. Homicide & B-Boy vs Matt Sydal & Delirious
Homicide and B-Boy are an awesome team, just stiffing the crap out of Matt and Delirious. This was a very, very good tag match.
11. BJ Whitmer vs Nigel McGuinness
Man I can't beleive BJ is the champ, is he working for free? I like Nigel though. BJ's not bad but he's not over AT ALL.
Overall pretty good show. Honestly I think Petey and Nate Webb ould put on an absolutely mindblowing series of matches.
IWA-MS May 30, 2004 ''Volcano Girls''
# of emotional Ian Rotten speeches: 2!
1. Sumie Sakai vs Daizee Haze
I last saw Sumie on one of the first ROH shows, she kind of really sucked./ But now she has this AWESOME gimmick where she plays a "cute heel". She does the Jericho "COME ON BAYBEH" pin and does lots of playful heel tricks that really cracked the live crowd up. The match was going great, then the last move and the FINISH were botched. God dammit. I blame DAIZZEEE.
2. Mercedes Martinez vs Becky Bayless with Jimmy Jacobs
A. I totally love Becky Bayless, even though her CHUB is moderately outrageous.
B. Mercedes is freaking totally polished, the most professional and well-rounded woman on the indies I've seen (I guess April Hunter would be a distant second). Mercedes totally carries Becky, who can barely do a hiptoss bump (kind of falls sideways) though she's been trained by Homicide.
3. Mickie Knuckles vs Lexie Fyfe
Lexie is kind of old and flabby, fine with me, it shouldn't be a beauty contest. Her and Mickie have an OK match.
4. Tracy Brooks vs Lacey
Tracy moves real slow, pl;us she's so tanned she looks COOKED, Lacey looks all the more perky beside her. OK match.
5. MsChif vs Allison Danger
Ms Chif is over, OK match. I still don't like Danger at all. She does nothing well. Chif seems like she has a solid foundation - She can bump, she can strike, and she has 4 or so moves that get a reactiion, plus people are into her character.
6. Rain vs Daizee Haze
EHHHHH Daizee is overpushed IMO.
7. Mickie Knuckles vs Mercedes Martinez
OHHH YEAAHHH now we're talking! This freaking ROCKED! Crowd was way behind Mickie, this was a real eye-opener. I'd say this is the best US women's match I've seen... ever? pretty good-very good crowd heat (though it doesn't match the INSANE heat for the Trish Stephanie Mac match from a few years back), Mickie'sstiff-ass forearms rule, no awkward timing.... This is just a good match all around. Not a GREEAATT match, but definitely good-very good.
8. MsChif vs Lacey
Good stuff.
9. Tracy Smothers & Chris Hamrick vs Brad Bradley & Ryan Boz
Indy smegma.
10. Lacey vs Mercedes Martinez vs Daizee Haze
Good match, not as good as Mickie/Mercedes but pretty close.
11. Samoa Joe, CM Punk & BJ Whitmer vs B-Boy, Homicide & Chris Hero (6 Man Tag Team Elimination Match
Huge heat, very fun intense match-up. Crowd ate it up. Probably the match of the night (though i prefer mickie/mercedes I'd guess the average fan ain't into the wommmeennsss wrestling as much as me).
PWG March 7, 2004 ''88 Miles Per Hour''
1. Puma vs Black Tigers
2. Bobby Quance vs Tigers Mask
Don't remember much. OK, I guess.
3. Havana Pitbulls vs Nosawa & Masada
Wow Nosawa keeps getting more awesome.
4. American Dragon vs Brad Bradley
Dragon carry-job, ok I guess.
5. Frankie Kazarian & Babi Slymm vs Adam Pearce & Hardkore Kidd
Pearce is the champ of this fed? He's so.... INDY. McMahon is LUBING UP watching the Kidd, a 6'4 (?) FUTURE HOSS who just needs some roids to become THE NEXT MARK JINDRAK!
6. Ebessan vs Kushinbo Kamen
Ohhhh you KNOW why I got this tape! I LOVE these two and oh my god Ebessan speaks english! He cuts a very funny opening promo about how he bought WWE tickets from a scalper and got yodels from a 7-11 and now he has diarrhea. The fans throw some streamers into the ring and he says: "TP?! Thank you very much!" and indicates he has diarrhea. The actual match is very funny, the ref keeps yelling them to wrestle so they do this hilarious half-assed chop sequence and... well i don't want to ruin it. It's funny, not worth buying a whole tape for, but definitely worth checking out if you can download it or get it on a comp or whatever.
7. 10 Man Tag Team Elimination Match: Super Dragon,
Excalibur, Disco Machine, Joey Ryan & Scott Lost vs Scorpio Sky, Quicksilver, Chris Bosh, Topgun Talwar & Charles Mercury
This was pretty good. Dragon's curbstomp frenzy of an offense is insanely awesome. I think this probably wasn't the ideal match for me to watch first from the promotion.
OK tape, Ebessan is god though. I don't think this was a good intro to the fed, especially since i got the RF version (second hand! No money to the kiddie toucher!)
with no commentary.
