Another good crowd at MECW.
The Sarin Sinn ownership storyline seems to have been swept under the rug. Commissioner Bailey Mannix ran the show with Mr. K out of town, Eric Allen's Heavyweight Title win wasn't overturned, Justin Reno was suspended for "two shows", and it seems like Shawn Santel is now officially Tag Champ with Mike Anthony.
The ref seemed like he was a bit green...I thought it didn't look that professional for someone to officiate the matches in jeans and a T-shirt. I can appreciate plugging the sponsor for the show, but still...
Ace Hawkins made a reference to his WWE PPV appearance, noting before the handicap match that "two is greater than one". When Anthony and Santel saved Logan from a Conchairto, they joked that "three is greater than two". :-D
In general, the wrestling was good...there were rough spots but that happens sometimes. Maybe I'm too forgiving in that regard(and that's been pointed out to me recently). On the other hand, so-called "smart marks" are often accused of being too negative and watching just to complain about the product...and I don't want to be that way. Gotta find that middle ground, you know? Of course, I'm sure a comment about how I've never been in the ring belongs somewhere in here...
Espinosa and his crew worked both this show and MMWA at South Broadway, which was eventful in its own right...Dave Vaughn won the T.V. Title from Chase King(who didn't have the most spectacular ot title reigns) and Gary Jackson regained the Heavyweight Title from Espy. Hope to check out the match between Ricky Cruz and Ken Kasa(got the spelling right now) once it's Youtubed.
Was concerned about Aarons' neck after Allen's finisher...yikes.
At any rate, had a good time...next week is SICW(train permitting).
