Well, I survived my first NFW show. I'm not even sure where to begin in talking about this, but I will say that was officially the nuttiest wrestling show I've ever seen live. First of all, it was nice to see Ike and Morris again. Sorry I didn't really recognize you guys at first. I'm usually off in my own little world most of the time. "Sometimes I like to go off into my own world, but it's okay....they know me there." Anyway, I looked for you guys during the intermission, but I guess you had already had enough, and I can't say that I blame you at all! I will say that for the entertainment factor of the show, it was alright, but for the wrestling....um, well....I can't say the same.
First of all, there was no cage. I guess Indiana Kidd Jr. and Hillbilly Jed were suppose to bring the cage and they didn't make it. That should have been a sign that the night was going to be.....well, interesting. I have no idea who half the people on the show were, so I know I'm going to get names wrong, but here goes some thoughts on each match.
Robby Rotten vs Carn Alexander vs Thriller
Botch-o-mania 2010! At least Robby's name fits him, and he has nothing to do with Axl or Ian. Wow...that was bad! Alexander got the win.
Jay Hills(?) vs Roughrider Roy
Someone's been watching Stan Hansen matches. Hills didn't look too bad, but didn't really do anything too impressive either. Roy got the win.
Madman Pondo & Guido Andretti vs Juggulator & J.D. Santos
Pondo came out in full-on "heel Pondo" mode, which was awesome! He sure had a lot to make fun of in the crowd, that's for sure. All I'll say is that my favorite line of the night was when he said, "I'd say you have a camel toe, but by the way you look, I think you've got the whole camel's ass in your pants!" PONDO RULES!!!!! As for the match, it got turned into a six-person match when Mellisa Wild (?) got involved and someone I think they called "Girl" got involved too. It was neat to get to see Juggulator in person for the first time, however, he's mostly known for doing deathmatches....which he's gotten better at over the years. However, his "normal" matches leave a bit to be desired. Nothing really special came from the match, but Pondo, Guido and Wild got the win.
Master Rich vs Rob Conway got scrapped because Conway wasn't there. So, they turned it into a tag title match, Master Rich and Chris Champion vs Doug Gilbert and Flash Flanagan. All I kept thinking during this match was, "Man, Yoshi Qwan got old....and is now a Marilyn Manson-loving Nazi." It was cool to get to see Champion in person though because I used to always think he was one of those guys that never really got much of a chance in the "big leagues". The match was just your typical Memphis-style tag match....double-teaming when the ref's back is turned, the ref not seeing tags....yadda,yadda,yadda....Flash and Gilbert got the win. After the match, Champion turned on Rich and Gilbert and Flash made the save. Then Gilbert got on the mic (SAY IT ISN'T SO, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, NO!!!!) he then said that on May 1st, he's bringing a "friend", "Roaddog" Jessie James. Thanks for the warning, I'll make my plans to avoid THAT!! He also said that James was one of the original members of DX, which pissed off one of the "ladies" sitting next to me..."That makes me so mad! Shawn Michaels is the only original member of DX!" Yeah...it was THAT kind of crowd! Anyway, I will say I enjoyed watching Chris Champion crack up and he was doing "Heil Hitler!" salutes as he left.
Lady Vendetta vs Becky Lee
All I can say about this is no Hailey Hatred...major bummer. Lady V got the win....at least it was short.
Vic the Bruiser & Xavier Cage vs Bobo Brazil Jr & Gary Valiant
Um...well, I'm not even sure where to begin with this. Valiant's entrance went on FOREVER!!!! The only good part of this match was at the end. Vic and Cage got D.Q.'ed and Vic was bad-mouthing Bobo. Which brought of Bobo's wife from the crowd and she was in fightin' mode! At one point, she tripped over a security guard and fell down, which was hilarious! Then, Vic started mocking her falling....if only he had put that much effort into the actual match! After that, Valiant got a bunch of kids in the ring and they danced. What fun!
Next was a MUCH needed intermission!
The next match was a total and complete clusterf*ck on epic proportions! A stereotypical Arab guy named TJ Uschmangatta (yes, I copied that from the flyer!) came out and they had some kind of a "free-for-all" match with about five other little guys. Don't ask me what happened, I'm still not sure. All I know is the TJ guy got his pants pulled down and was wearing a thong (as nasty as it sounds, believe me!) and there was some kid who kind of looked like Zach Gowin's younger brother who pulled off a pretty sweet flippy move over the top rope. In the end, TJ got the pin on someone and then, Cash Flo came out and beat the ever-living dog crap out TJ, the kid who looked like Gowin and one of the other little guys. He slapped those kids on their chests so hard that how it didn't stop their hearts from beating is beyond me. That was f'in' SICK!!!!
JC Slash (?) vs T-Bolt
JC was one of the guys in the match before who didn't get the crap beat out of him by Cash Flo. T-Bolt came out and I gotta give him props for singing his own entrance music, "Flip, Flop and Fly" by Louis Jordan! Gotta love Louis Jordan (Google him, you young punks)! Unfortunately, that's the ONLY good thing I can say about this match! Honestly, that was the most boring match I've sat through in my entire life! T-Bolt got the win....NEXT!!!!
Main Event:
Big Bull Lee & Scotty Wolf vs Gypsy Joe & Bobby Lowe vs 2 Tuff Tony & Cash Flo
Big Al drove Gypsy Joe to the ring on a bicycle with a platform on the front and Joe was wearing a Kiss Gene Simmons mask! Awesome!!! When Tony's music hit, Joe was dancing in the mask too! Double awesome!!! Cash Flo cut some weird promo about how we all loved Tony and Joe, but he was only here to watch Tony's back...um, ok, whatever. Someone in the crowd had handcuffs and Tony ended up with them. He then handed them to Joe and then came my second favorite moment of the night....Gypsy Joe walking around the ring, waving around the handcuffs and saying, "Who wants to have sex with me!?" JOE RULES!!!!!!!! The match was a quick clusterf*ck. Cash and Tony took Joe to the concession area and in the ring, either Lee or Wolf pinned Lowe. After the match, Joe and Tony where chopping guys in the crowd....why, is beyond me.
So there ya go, my first NFW show. I'm not so sure there will be another in my future, but who knows. It really depends on who is brought in, but it would have to be someone I'd REALLY want to see. As I said, the entertainment value of the show was decent, but the wrestling itself left a LOT to be desired. Way, way, way, WAAAAAYYYYYY too much stalling and Memphis-style "heel/face" junk for my tastes. But, as I always say, that's what goes over here in Evansville and nothing will change that fact. As for me, I'm off to West Virginia on Wed. to go to another IWA:EC show that features such matches as Thumbtack Jack vs Sami Callihan and Necro Butcher vs Kevin Sullivan....yep, the "Taskmaster", the "Tree of Whoa" guy himself! Then, in two weeks, I'm off to Indianapolis to see CZW's debut there in what is already an absolutely STACKED card!!!
