Fun show with the two best matches being completely different styles...yay variety.
The show-opening talk segment went long to the point where Mr. K was apologizing for it afterwards...
The officiating has improved a ton compared to the previous few shows...good to see.
Aiden Young made a surprise debut for MECW and then won with a little bit of outside help. Slight referee hiccup as the official clearly saw McDarby come out, then turned back around to argue with Myranda(finally have her official name) so McDarby could KO Mizfitt.
Kharfu's growing on me. Could use some actual gear though. No clue who the mysterious masked monster(alliteration~!) was, but he has a bunny rabbit so we should cheer him.
The time announcement kinda gave away the draw finish, but Santel and Anthony are the two guys who can go long in a technical match like this. Anthony's powerbomb is good enough that it shouldn't just be a near-fall. Anthony's oddly respectful to opponents considering he's portrayed as a loose cannon(thus the shackles gimmick). Gosh darn it, these two will just have to wrestle again to settle things between them. WOO~!
Chaotic finish to the Great Plains Title matchup...it wasn't clear it Ryte even had a proper cover on Allen when Mr. K made the three-count. Here's a minor point of authority...who has the final say, the official assigned to the matchup or the guy running the place?
The tag title match had a really random ending as Anthony just started beating everyone up. He had a long night, wrestling the twenty-minute match earlier in the night and then working quite a bit of the tag match.
I joked that the main event gimmick was essentially a low-budget table match, especially since most of the door spots involved the doors being propped up on two chairs to form makeshift "tables". They had some killer spots for the "falls", particularly the curbstomp. Reno appeared to tweak his knee at one point when he slipped on a springboard move but he was able to continue the matchup and they worked with it.
CONTINUITY~! as Mr. K had brought up his previous history with Eric Allen, plus the Mannix-Allen feud resurfaces after being on the back burner for the better part of the past year. Unfortunately I missed the 30:00 Ironman Match last year but I hope to be in attendance for the sixty-minute version...we shall see.
AAPW ran a TV taping in Marion, IL on Sunday...didn't see any results and I don't know if I'll be able to see their program in my area(hope they put it online in some form). Reportedly Sinclair Broadcasting pulled ROH Heavyweight Champion Davey Richards from the show, presumably because it was a television taping.
Next week is Labor Day weekend so no local rasslin. September is a bit light on the shows in general so it looks like MMWA at South Broadway, SICW in East Carondelet, and then a doubleheader with MMWA running an afternoon show in Hillsdale followed by MECW that night.
