Posted September 9, 201015 yr comment_5455471 D-Von Dudley v. New Jack (EXTRA) This show is in some sort of Night Club like setting and feels like one of the WWF Shotgun Saturday Night shows. God damn the crowd is hot for this. This match materializes out of a weird confrontation between Little Guido, Todd Gordon and Fonzy. Jack tries to hang D-Von early then piledrives him on a non-breaking table of some sort that almost looks like it is built into the ground. After a brief comeback Jack ends up winning with a diving prop shot of some sort. Post-match Axl runs out to help D-Von and Bubba runs out and helps Jack and ends up dancing on a table. Totally random as hell. Axl Rotten v. Davey Morton (Kid Kash) I thought Axl was really good in this. Kash came out looking nervous, and Axl carried him to a very solid match. This was extremely minimalistic stuff but Axl was working the crowd pretty heavy from bell-to-bell. He got over good for Kash's flashes of offense, but I was most impressed by how he controlled the flow of this. He got the most out of little shit like teased prop shots and punching Kash in the face. Finish was cool to as they did several Kash highspots and then Axl caught him coming off the top with a nasty lariat for three. Pitbull 2 v. Rick Rage Total Sqaush. Spike Dudley/Bubba Dudley v. Eliminators Short sprint. Couple of awesome Spike bumps after a run of ranas and then total elimination. Chris Candido v. Rob Van Dam Stand off exchanges are tired and old at this point, but I gotta admit the rope running stuff they did was pretty cool especially in this setting. This is actually a really fun spotty match with one thing flowing pretty nicely from the other. There is a brief interruption by the BWO's entrance, but for the most part this was a smooth moving affair with a very well done leg on the bottom rope false finish. The second false finish via same method was pretty hokey but just as well executed. Time Limit draw finish was kinda predictable at that point, but this was still a fun bout for what it was. Shane Douglas v. Tommy Dreamer Douglas doing leaping stomps on unbreakable tables and diving off with double axe shots is cooler in practice than it probably reads on a computer screen. Crowd has been handing people weapons all night, and here Douglas hits Dreamer in the balls with a bowling pin. This match was starting to get really good and then..camera goes out and when we come back Dreamer is piledriving Francine and then Douglas belly-to-belly's Beulah. And then Pitbull 2 is in. And then Brian Lee. Blah. Raven v. Sandman Wild brawl. I really enjoyed the spot on the floor where Sandman reversed a suplex attempt on a table only to get reversed himself and sent onto the table which just tipped over. The ref takes a pretty crazy shot from a bar stool shortly thereafter and then the run-in train starts. For overbooked Raven finishes I thought this worked pretty well because Sandman's selling was so good that it made the nearfalls really effective.
