I figured on the SLA matinee show being a smaller event, especially when they only announced three matches ahead of time without any "outside talent". That card was shuffled a bit as the original lineup had Jordan Lacey vs. Pierre Abernathy and The Hooligans against Darren Dean & Aaron Solo(Davey Richards trainees).
Nice surprise to see Brandon Espinosa & Ace Hawkins on the show as Espinosa hadn't worked a show for LWA/SLA in a while and I don't think Ace had ever done one of their shows. I think the original lineup also had Davey Vega vs. Billy McNeil and Dash Rando vs. Super Electro(making a five-match card that was shortened to four). Vega-McNeil could have been pretty good, hope we get that at some point...
The ring was set up just outside of a bar...outdoor shows are done at the mercy of Mother Nature but thankfully the weather cooperated. Quite a few people watched from a distance instead of paying at the door.
The first two matches had a lot of comedy spots...Pierre doesn't wrestle as regularly as he once did and Rando is a comedy character anyway, I suppose.
They did a good job of pushing the Yuletide Terror show which takes place in early December(also in Alton, IL)...it's a loaded card to say the least.
Didn't make it to MMWA...looked decent enough, but the lack of full-fledged storylines and feuds(particularly when it comes to the championships) is a bit frustrating.
Anywho, not a whole lot to say...SICW on the 20th, TNA on the 27th...
