The crowd at MECW wasn't quite at the level as last month's but was still good...hate to miss any show but sometimes two groups just happen to run on the same night(SICW also had a show last Saturday).
Shawn Santel has been conspicuous by his absence lately...wonder if he's having injury issues again. McDarby's fallen down the card a bit in recent months, dropping the Great Plains Title to Evan Money and now losing in the opener while having his shillelagh shot practically no-sold by Joey.
For those keeping score: Mike Sydal and Bradley Charles were heels, Davey Richards turned heel(after fighting Kozina at last month's show), Tony Kozina remained a heel, Mark Sterling was a heel, Kyle O'Reilly remained a face, Matt King is a heel in MECW, Justin Reno seems to be a face(despite teaming with old ally Sarin Sinn a few shows ago), and Michael Elgin worked as a heel. Got all that?
Gosh darn it, we're gonna have to see Billy McNeil and Mike Sydal wrestle again to settle their issues. Gosh darn it.
Second MECW show in a row where the advertised Davey Richards singles match became a six-man tag on the fly...form your own opinions, I suppose. Richards' team worked as cowardly overselling heels which was just...odd. Don't know how many MECW fans watch Ring Of Honor's TV show, but the face/heel roles are reversed in ROH where Davey's the face and Kyle's the heel. Entertaining match, at any rate.
Chase King and Matt King(no relation, for the record) are faces and tag partners in MMWA...but faced each other with Matt King as the heel in MECW. Add that to the Davey/Kyle situation...I try to think in terms of comic books: The wrestling world's a multiverse and different people play different roles in each mini-universe. Or something.
I had wondered if they'd do a title change in the main event to set up a rematch...Allen retained, but they still set up a potential rematch so there you have it.
Touching on the SICW show: Bull Schmitt made his debut for the group: He was a WLW regular and has been working Metro Pro more recently. Flash Flanagan also made his first appearance with SICW...he has wrestled in Puerto Rico as Slash Venom and they seem to be pushing a potential feud with Classic Champion Ricky Cruz. Cruz scored a decisive win over Gary Jackson to retain his title; however, Ken Kasa is still claiming to be the uncrowned champion after pinning Ricky in a tag match in December and then beating him by DQ last month.
Anywho...the rest of the month has MMWA at South Broadway and then SICW in Fairmont City. Good times.
