10/12 Show Review....

[iketurner]

The number 1 think i noticed about the show last night was the fact that is started at 7:30 on the dot. Good stuff. And the chilli cheese nachos were spectacular. The show opened with all the names announced for the "King of Evansville" tournament.....

Smokey C def. Dr Blue, (kid in the red trunks)
This wasnt as bad as it could have been for a random 3 way. I thought smokey C was pretty solid and held the match together real well. Dr Blue whipped out a nice belly to belly in there and seems to be improving a bit. Overall, short and sweet opener.

Shank def. Dre Jacobs to advance in the KOE tourny.....
I thought this was the best match of the night. Shank has really came into his own. He was given a coloring book and crayons by some fans. Jacobs stole the crayons and broke them, setting the stage for the match. Overall the match had some real good back in forth action on both sides. Shank hit the DVD for the W.

Lonestar def Chris Hall via DQ
Pretty solid match here with two big fellas. Finally Hall used the bell on Lonestar and tried to do the postmatch beat down until BJ Whitmer ran in to make the save with a steel chair.

Dave Crist def Micus Silva to advance in the KOE tourny.....
I kind of expected this match to be a little better but was still good by CCW standards. There were some real nice spots of fast action but that was usually followed by some slow headlocks and what not. The match ended with some reversals and a quick roll up by Crist to get the win. At the end, Crist hugged Silva and put him over as being "really good".

LT Faulk def Boogie Woogie Boy to advance in the KOE tourny.....
This match kind of drug on for me. The 20 minute entrance didnt really help get the match off the the right start. Both guys were solid in the ring, but im never a big fan of a match where more time is spend walking around the ring than actually in it. The end saw LT's partner, Drew Haskins run in and distract the ref while LT drilled Boogie with an object. LT got the 1-2-3 after that. Boogie had a hard time making it to the back as he fell out of the ring and appeared to be real dazed by the shot to the head.

BJ Whitmer def Drew Haskins to advance in the KOE tourny.....
Real good match here. BJ def still has it. Haskins has a solid gimmick with the all pink, pretty boy thing. As bad as i wanted to see the wrist clutch exploder, the match was still action packed and real good. The end came when LT tried to hit BJ, but BJ reversed the irish whip and he hit Haskins instead.

JP Lightning and 2 Tuff Tony went to a no contest....
Real real good brawl here. I thought it actually was a little better than the main event. Tony is much much better when he is serious and appeared to be giving it his all in this one. JP is beyond over as the villian. The crowd legit hates his guts. JP came to the ring with his arm in the sling and sd the match was off because he wasnt cleared to compete. As soon as Tony turned his back, JP attacked him. He pulled off a back drop to Tony on the ring apron, which i marked for. Im always a fan of moves on the ring apron. In the end, Tony had JP in a submission move, working JP's bad shoulder and Scarlett ran down as it seemed she was ready to take her 5 minutes w JP, but she threw powder in Tony's eyes and they handcuffed him to the ropes......then the beatdown was on. The crowd ate it up. Good stuff.

Juicy Jimmy & Kaige Kutler def Necro and Pondo....
Your standard Necro chaos in this one. He demanded a trash bin be brought to the ring pre match and then hit everyone with it, almost Pondo even. They brawled all around the arena. A few highlights would be Necro getting two fans to hold each end of a chair and whipping Jimmy into it. Also, he had a lead pipe and was acting as if he was sword fighting Jimmy with it. Jimmy returned fire with a wet floor sign. In the end, it looked as if Necro and Pondo were going to cruise to W's when the Convic returned and attacked them. It turned into a 3 on 2 brawl and Jimmy got the cover on Pondo after placing a chair on Pondo's ankle and stomping it.

Overall it was a really solid show, especially for CCW. Didnt really have to many down moments. They keep bringing in talent like Necro, BJ and Crist and i may have to start coming more often.

Thanks for the review, Ike. I considered going last night, but between the fact that I'm still recovering from the weekend trip and the fact that I had to play a show in Vincennes tonight (for which I had spent literally ZERO time rehearsing), I just couldn't make it. I'm kind of glad I missed Boogie Woogie though. Man, I remember the pain of sitting through one of his matches once.....*SHUTTER*

The Shank/coloring book thing is a reference to last week's show. At the beginning of the three-way between him, Crist and Silva, Crist said something to him and he jumped out of the ring and started searching under the ring for something. He then jumped back in the ring, got into Crist's face and yelled, "There's no coloring books down there!!!!!"

The whole JP/Scarlett/Tony swerve-job stuff sounds like the highlight of the night. That actually sounds as though it was well-booked....now, THERE'S something I never thought I'd say about CCW! Ha ha!!!!

I do agree that if there is more Necro/BJ/Crist appearances to come, then I might try to start making it there more often as well.

Ike thanks for the post. I was at the show and only have a few things to say. I disagree with your match of the night although it was close. I thought the Haskins vs Whitmer match was better but that is just my opinion.

Shank's match was by far the best performance that I have seen of him. His wrestling and character both came through big time in this match. This is the Shank I have been waiting too see where every thing just clicked for him. I will say to Shank you made a believer out of me and I apologies for past comments made toward doubting your abilities.

The Siva and Crist match was very disappointing. I thought the match would be more up tempo than it was. They worked the arm bar way to long. The few moves Crist did make where awesome but this was too old school for these guys.

I did thank Crist for coming and he told me he would be there every Wed.

I'm diggin' that bit of news! I hope that this will lead to him bringing Jake with him at some point! But even if it doesn't, I wouldn't mind seeing Crist in some kind of a feud with Shank and maybe lead to a feud with Gooch for the title. That has the potential to be something well worth seeing!

I would like to give CCW some credit. As Ike said this was a solid show and follows up last weeks show nicely.This was not done in the past and it gives them three good shows in a roll.

Secondly Pondo,Jimmy and others where down at the Fall Festival handing out flyer's. Way too finally take advantage of the power of advertising.

Third Whitmer and Crist gave away free photos and posters to those who wanted them.Nice job in picking up the tab Sam.

Not every thing that glitters is gold because there are some problems in the back but hopefully those issues can be worked out and not affect the show.
