Dynamo's ramping up the schedule for October. Along with the usual Glen Carbon event, they're doing a show at Pop's and also debuting in Pittsfield. Pittsfield might be a bit out of my driving range, sorry to say.
I think multi-way schmozz matches have jumped the shark for me personally. Don't think a lot of these guys had been in that style of match before, plus the style didn't really fit some of them(Rudolph and Santel in particular). It was a good way to test the waters for C.J. McManus as he hadn't wrestled regularly in a long time.
I am wondering about the future of MECW...they've only run one show since February and the show scheduled for later this month was cancelled. On top of that, Santel and McDarby have been working Dynamo shows lately. It's too bad...MECW's shows introduced me to a lot of wrestlers who I wouldn't have otherwise seen.
With Mike Sharona returning to active competition, Mark Bland is now the resident authority figure in Dynamo. He and Travis Cook have had some heated political debates so they've already got some history.
I wonder if the current wrestling audience really "gets" the schtick of the old-school GCW crew like Nikki Strychnine and Jack Adonis. They've obviously not goody-goody faces and tend to cheat as an absolute first resort. The tag match turned into an impromptu no-DQ affair as Strychnine chased off the referee, leading to all four men brawling around the ring and chairs flying. Not sure why Steven Kennedy didn't wrestle on this show.
It's funny to think that MsChif used to wrestle the guys on a regular basis and win. Now it's unusual to see her against a male opponent...it was a competitive matchup but Dirden's been on a roll lately.
I was wondering why they set up Strychnine-Karrington a few days before the show...it was a tease of coming attractions as Karrington faked an injury, then threw his manager to the wolves and ran away.
If I really want to feel old, I simply recall that I first saw Billy McNeil vs. Dingo over a decade ago. Guess what? It's still a pretty cool match. Dingo seemed to play the subtle heel but the longtime fans still respect him.
Dynamo doesn't run as regularly as other groups so it's easy to forget that the Bumrush Brothers have been Tag Team Champions for over a year. They might be about due for a title switch in the near future...
With a face-vs.-face main event, there wasn't as much crowd heat as you might think. The stipulation was simply "no interference" and that was enough to keep people away from ringside...both guys threw their best shots and it took two Paydirts for Walsh to get the win. While they're pushing Walsh-Dirden, the post-match angle set up Walsh-Dingo at the next Glen Carbon show...maybe we'll get Walsh-Dirden at Pop's or in Pittsfield?
My schedule's been shuffled a bit...it looks like the comedy show will be on the 21st instead of the 14th. Also, as I noted, MECW on the 28th has been cancelled. Next Saturday will be SICW in Hillsdale as well as MMWA at South Broadway. SICW returns to East Carondelet on the 21st(will need to keep tabs on them through Wrestling Explosion). After that...October will be VERY busy. :)
As always: #yaywrestling
