Posted September 6, 201015 yr comment_5455365 Taz v. Donn E. Allen Total Taz squash with a nuts bump from Allen. El Puerto Ricano v. Koji Nakagawa Nakagawa seems to be working extra stiff in this. As he just murders Marquez with some strikes and a forward roll. Even his top rope shoulder tackle looked vicious. Bad Crew v. Bubba Dudley/Dances With Dudley The crowd is super hot for this as Damian Kane is so hateable on the mic. Opening is just a wild brawl. At one point Bubba goes to hit Kane but he hides behind Lady Alexandra. Bad Crew take over on offense with DWD as FIP. Bad Crew's double teams were good as usual. The Dudz really take some massive chairshots in this one. This is really a mess of sorts down the stretch, but this fun in a strange way. J.T. Smith v. Hack Myers J.T. ambushes hack before the bell. Hack selling his ass off for J.T. is kind of funny, but also pretty awesome. Shah makes his comeback attempt and J.T. drops him and cuts it off which made me smile. This is a really well worked match as J.T. antagonizes the ref after every Hack near fall. He also hits some pretty neat offense including a diving headbutt onto Hack on the floor. Hack makes a second comeback off of a DDT and J.T. is reeling including a 360 bump off of a clothesline. Back on the floor J.T. takes back over with some cheapshots and beats the Shah down with some stiff chairshots, a nasty post shot and sweet punch on the floor. Back in the ring Hack makes another comeback with a brutal elbow strike, but J.t. counters by backing away from a gulliotine legdrop attempt. J.T. sprints toward him on the apron and gets hit with a devastating forearm smash. They do a really cool spot in the corner for the finish as J.T. sort of fights to get away from Hack and ends up dropped by his reverse cattle branding/double knee drop for the pin. I thought this was a pretty awesome little match for two undercard guys with no real character or angles to work with. Pitbulls v. Eliminators This was pretty boring. Not even a lot of flashy spots in this. Johnny Grunge v. Too Cold Scorpio JIP. Grunge is bloody by the time this starts and this goes almost straight to the finish. 911 v. Bruiser Mastino chokeslam the end. Tommy Dreamer/Mikey Whipwreck v. Steve Richards/Raven (Falls Count Anywhere) The early stuff with Richards was kind of tedious, but Mikey going crazy and beating Raven to hell on the floor was awesome. Beulah gets a double spanking from the faces allowing the heels to take over. This breaks down and Dreamer and Raven end up bumping huge all over the building. Dreamer ends up taking a DDT on the floor for a nearfall while Richards steps on Mikey's nuts. Mikey takes a DDT on the floor and kicks out. This is bizarre as these guys are essentially having a match contained entirely to one small corner of the back of the Arena. Dreamer hits Richards with a Turkey. Dreamer takes the Turkey knocks Raven out by chunking it at his head while he is running the ropes which is hysterical. There is a really poorly conceived spot with Meanie that sets up the finish. Entertaining brawl, but more clusterfuck than a good match. Sabu v. Rocco Rock (EXTRA) I liked this one. These guys traded some pretty big punches, had some cool brawling spots on the floor, et. They did a really good job building to the table spot as their were three or four teased spots with it where the guys would escape at the last second. Unfortunately the table didn't bust on the legdrop spot which was pretty anticlimactic and I thought the finish was sort of cheap. Post-match brawl was fun, especially Sabu nearly beating up a fan. Sandman v. Cactus Jack This was a fun brawl. These two just beat each other up. At one point they were in the back of the building and were taking turns smashing each other in the face with a metal rolling coat rack. Foley took a crazy flip bump on a chair on the floor. Loved Sandman's selling of the Foley chairshots in this one and I thought his slingshot spots looked good as well. This could have used a better finish as it really seemed underwhelming given what these guys were doing up to that point.
