Three hour shows( the only show that should be 3 or more hours is Mania) Full time wrestlers ( I wish everyone was like Brock, Taker, Jericho. I don't need to see guys like Stardust or the Neville 52 weeks of the year) Interviews/promos that go over 5 minutes Headlocks Changing cameras every 15 seconds.

This weekend, FIP ran a trios tourney featuring guys from Inidie promotions all over the country like IWA MS, Mr. Hughes's promotion/school WWA4 and some other midwest promotions. I missed night one but apparently it was really good and one of the better shows of the year. JImmy Rave was on night one but he got eliminated so he didn't work night 2. That's a bummer cause I wanted to see one of the best wrestlers in the world live at least once this year. I went to night two which took place in the Orlando suburb of Oviedo Florida. The venue was a legit Cross fit gym. When I was waiting to get in(the show started 30 minutes late) the gym said the max capacity was 200. Sadly this show only drew about 50-75 people I would say if you count to two dogs and Kris Kristofferson. The venue had no seats, only benches from the locker room for the people that bought front row seats. So I had to stand the whole time and the show went from 7:30 to about 10:30 with no intermission. As for the show, It was good but felt very long seeing all those multiman matches. I haven't heard of about 3/4ths of the guys. Some were really impressive like Team IOU(Kerry Awful and Nick Iggy) with partner Jake Dirden who were the winners of the event. Awful is this big guy who takes nutty bumps while Iggy is the pretty boy heel. I've seen them on NWA SAW a couple times. Another impressive guy was Sonny Kiss from Tier one wrestling. Sonny does an exotico gimmick which is something to see. He's very entertaining and is not that bad in the ring. The whole team from Freelance wrestling was pretty good. I always dig a fat guy that does a springboard moonsalt. I know Dylan was really pushing Pete Kaasa from Trans-South wrestling. Apparently he looked great on night one. He looked good on night two as he did 3 630 splashes in a row. Some hit better than others but that's impressive. I think he'll be on WWE's radar sooner than later if he still works for WWN. It was cool seeing the IWA MS guys: Reed Bentley, John Wayne Murdoch and Trik Davis who i've heard a lot about but never seen. Murdoch looks so much like Trevor it's eerie. They had a good brawl with the Viking War Party who are this little guy, a guy that looks like Brody and a guy that looks like 1998 Vader. Poor Bentley almost got his neck broken by a botched piledriver. Worst match of the night was the Fray. The Fray is WWN's version of a gauntlet match. I swear it felt like this match had more guys in it than fans in the building. It had some real shitty fat guys in it but the final 4 was real good . The final 4 were Ethan Case, Black Baron, Jason Cade and Stitch Osiris. Cade is a local guy who works FIP/Evolve shows and other ones down in the Tampa/Miami area. He's a good high flyer. Case is from PWX in North Carolina and is this blonde jacked up guy. He wasn't too bad but wasn't in long either. The final two were Osiris and Baron. Baron looks like Big E's twin brother. Powerful dude who was throwing Osiris around like a toothpick. Osiris won and got to face Maxwell Chicago for the FIP Heritage belt. I liked the title match but seems most people hated it. Probably wasn't a good idea to run it after all those trios matches and Maxwell is an acquired taste. Lots of people hate him but I find him to be one of the more entertaining guys in Florida.

Good lord Akino hits the muta scale with her bladejob. Awesome match with brawling and LCO bringing the tag psychology. I liked when they went into the crowd and they had a split screen of what was going on. Akino takes a beating and the kickouts go a little long but this was never boring. Hamada looks awfully young but still good.

It's interesting reading old observers and hearing about Muto's knees being shot and then watching this. Good match with lots of bombs being thrown. Tenyru takes a dragon screw from the ring apron to the floor.Muto hits a moonsault but that's not enough. Tenyru looks like a video game boss that Muto is trying to take down. Crowd goes nuts for the finish.
