CZW High Stakes Afternoon Show Thoughts

[IWSfan4life]

So far through one disc this show is great, VERY fun all around. I'm loving me some CZW right now!

Merc vs. Jon Dahmer vs. Eddie Kingston vs. DJ Hyde wasn't anything to write home about. Kingston is OK but the other 3 pretty much suck and never do anything but take up room. Anyway, this wasn't horrible so I'm happy. The Blackout's beatdown at the end of the match was super cool, as Ruckus hits a 450 and Sabian hits a 450 Double Stomp ON A CHAIR!

Rave/M-Dogg vs. Red/Sonjay was nice. I don't like Rave as a heel in CZW because he doesn't show all he can do. Either way, everyone still hit some nice stuff, and Red stole the show and had crazy fan support. Good storyline advancement, and a good match.

Hero/Shelley- WOW! This was every bit as good as it sounds. Never lost track on the mat, and hit some innovative counters. Once again, Hero amazes me at his ability to work a body part (arm in this case) and hit weird new offense on that body part. Great match, and yeah, Hero is a god on the mic as well. WATCH this!

Spyral/Ghost Shadow vs. AMIL was awesome! Fun from start to finish, and all 4 men made me press rewind alot. Spyral is so damn innovative he reminds me of a black Jack Evans, and everyone was rolling here. Awesome.

B-Boy vs. Quance vs. Super Dragon vs. Excaliber was very fun as well. Typical SD match as it was TOO long and could have benefitted from being 10 minutes shorter, but this was good. The last 10 minutes were insane, and SD pulls out some of the stiffest moves I've seen to date. Another good one.

Still to come- CHIKARA 8 man tag, Blackout vs. SAT's

That's Eddie "Ya Motha" Kingston to you! Eddie rules.

Can't wait to see how the Chikara 8-man was. Did Larry Sweeney bring the heel brilliance?

Hero is a god on the mic?! Never thought I would hear that phrase said....wild.
Word to ya motha!

Yeah Hero owns on the mic in CZW, and he gets time before and after most all of his matches. Some classic phrases, and he loves to channel Tracy Smothers LOL.

Finished the show. Awesome stuff.

Blackout vs. SAT was decent, but alot showed in this match. Ruckus and Sabian looked awesome, but I think it showed why the SAT are so highly hated and arent in ROH. They looked really off at times here and botched alot. They did a fun flurry and some innovation, but looked rather bad. Nonetheless this was decent as i said.

The CHIKARA 10 man was DAMN FUN! Funnest match i've seen this month. BUY some CHIKARA. So many memorable spots and things i'd never seen before. Hero on commentary ruled, and Sweeny and Mr. Zero were HILARIOUS. Quack looked very strong as well. This may have stolen the show.

Flash vs. Knoxxx in a cage was the worst non WWE cage match i've ever seen, maybe worst overall. Short and non memorable. End saw H8 Club and Blackout stare down, awesome.

Overall this is a very solid show with some downright good matches on it. Definetly worth checking out, maybe a bit above possession. Hero/Shelley, the SoCal 4 way, the AMIL tag and the CHIKARA tag were all awesome! Check this out.

I also have the Night show from that day in and last weeks show on the way.
