Posted December 11, 200717 yr comment_5425105 Ed Wiskowski Interview Rick Martel Interview Butch Miller & Luke Williams vs. Buddy Rose & Ed Wiskowski - The first fall was back and forth with the typical great Buddy Rose stuff. Miller gets the pin after a couple of elbows. The 2nd fall has the heels making short work of Williams after a Wiskowski diving headbutt. 3rd fall picks up where the 2nd onoe left off. Williams is getting his ass beat until a mis-timed knee from Rose hits Ed instead of Luke. 3rd fall saw Rose nearly beat but Wiskowski gets DQed bringing a chair in kicking the ref. This match wasn't as good as previous tags (Ed relied heavily on the chinlock) but probably still worth a look. The post-match interview with Miller is must-see though. Nomination. Butch Miller & Luke Williams vs. Igor Volkoff & Dellaserra - Nothing match but Rose and Wiskowski attack afterward. Sheepherders Interview Rose & Wiskowski Interview (Rose has two women with him) Rick Martel vs. Ed Wiskowski (2/3 falls) - First fall has Ed grounding Martel with headlocks and leg scissors and Martel finding ways to escape. Eventually, Martel gets caught in a back body drop and Ed ends it with the headbutt. 2nd fall has Ed taking comic bumps off of knee lifts and ramming the head into the corner. Eventually, Martel wins with the huracanrana. The final fall goes by rather quick and as Martel goes for a dropkick, the ref gets in the way and is knocked out. THe ref says Ed moved him in the way and Martel gets the win. As for the match, I wasn't digging the Martel-Wiskowski matchup. It just seemed disjointed and more of a chore to finish watching the match. No vote. Roddy Piper Muscular Dystrophy Interview Sheepherders Interview BUddy Rose, Ed Wiskowski & Fidel Cortez INterview Buddy Rose & Ed Wiskowski Interview Roddy Piper Interview Piper vs. Igor Volkoff - Ed Wiskowski comes in and attacks Piper for the DQ. I am not a real fan of Koloff and Piper really plays well off someone like Buddy Rose but not limited guys like Koloff. I am going no with this match. Jonathan Boyd Interview (in between falls) Roddy Piper Interview Buddy Rose vs. Mike Popovich - This is typical Buddy match where he bumps and stooges for the young Popovich. Still, a large aprt of the match was worked around a full nelson and it just wasn't that interesting. THe referee is injured and that ends the match. Buddy Rose & Ed Wiskowski Post-Match Interview Roddy Piper vs. Ed Wiskowski (2/3 falls) - 1st fall has Piper beating Wiskowski until Ed catches him in the throat. Wiskowski proceeds to attack the throat area and for once, I don't mind the Wiskowski chinlock. Later on, Piper's leg gets caught in the rope so Ed starts attacking the leg. Piper tries to cut Ed down by attacking his leg. I don't know who was responsible for laying out the matches in Portland but I have never seen matches that make more sense than the ones I have watched the last couple of days. Piper catches Wiskowski by surprise with a swinging neckbreaker to get the three. So, when the 2nd fall starts, he works on the neck. I am not crazy about seeing a nerve hold but it makes sense. Wiskowski escapes the nerve hold by tossing Piper outside the ring. ON the way down, Piper sells his back so Wiskowski goes outside to ram Piper's back into the ringpost and then bodyslams him on the concrete. One fan at ringside was so irate he had to be subdued by the cops. Wiskowski gets him back in the ring and puts him away with the headbutt. 3rd fall starts off as a brawl with them fighting outside the ring. Back in the ring, after an Irish whip, Buddy Rose trips Piper and Ed wins in a really short fall. After the match, Rose and Wiskowski beat on Piper until he is busted open. Once again, we have a match worth watching. Bloody Piper Interview Buddy Rose & Ed Wiskowski Interview Ed Wiskowski vs. Mike Popovich - This was pretty good early on but you can tell Popovich is inexperienced when he blows a clothesline where he falls forward instead of taking the back bump. Wiskowski pins him after the clothesline and that is that. 12 man Battle Royale - I am not really a fan of the two Portland battle royals I have seen so far. Buddy Rose & Fidel Cortez Post Match Interview (interrupted by Jonathan Boyd) Buddy Rose Interview Roddy Piper Interview Rose & Oliver vs. Piper & Popovich (partial) - Incomplete but post match interview is great and Roddy Piper finally rips off the wig and mask exposing Buddy's brown hair. EXTRA Buddy Rose Interview Roddy Piper vs. Buddy Rose (2/3 falls) - Once again, these guys have a really solid 1st fall with both guys going back and forth trying to get the advantage. Piper ends the 1st fall with a sleeper but not before BUddy tried ramming him in the turnbuckle a few times in an attempt to get him to break it. 2nd fall has Rose busting Piper open on the ring post before he can even get into the ring. Buddy is going to town on the gash. At this point, I thought Piper would show some fighting spirit before Buddy would put him away in the 2nd fall. However, Piper gets a rollup and beats Buddy 2 straight falls. Again, these guys have agreat match with each other and an easy nomination. Buddy Rose- Roddy Piper confrontation after the match Jonathan Boyd Interview Buddy Rose Interview Rip Oliver & Fidel Cortez Interview Some old guy Jonathan Boyd & Mike Popovich Interview Buddy Rose & His Army Interview (EXTRA) Mike Popovich vs. Fidel Cortez (2/3 falls) - I am not really a fan of either of these guys.
