Surprised Homicide went over Hero, though...couldn't Hero use a big win going into his feud with Joe? he does not need it. Hero is in the same position as nick gage neither needs to ever win a single match ever to stay a top guy in the eye's of the fans of their respective promotions.

Phoenix Fury Legdrop 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2004 I went to both shows, but due to exhaustion and such, I'm just going to give some general notes instead of an entire review of both nights: - Ian stopping the KOTDM didn't seem like a popular decision to the crowds both nights, but I honestly think it's a smart one. With the direction that IWA's going in, a yearly deathmatch tournament will just throw everything off-kelter. Also, I was quite disappointed when Ian announced that IWA-MS is the newest NWA member. Basically, being an NWA member entails that you pay some outrageous number each year for a title belt, some crappy t-shirts in your merch stand, and the right to call yourself "NWA (whatever)", which doesn't draw a dime. - Morat Posphorus is someone to look out for. When I first saw him come out in Lafayette, I thought to myself that this guy didn't look like he'd be too good. But, once that bell rang, he showed some really impressive stuff. I hope he's in IWA for awhile. - Petey Williams and his Canadian Destroyer (front-flip piledriver) are over like a motherf-cker in IWA. The move got the biggest pop of the night in Lafayette, and the crowd nearly turned Nigel McGuinness heel due to the outright support of Petey in Highland. Speaking of the Petey/Nigel match, it was really, really awesome. Petey tried using the Sharpshooter on Nigel four times, but figured out the fourth time that Nigel had found a way to apply himself so that he wouldn't have to tap to it like he did when Petey beat him in the series, so he moved on from it. The Canadian Destroyer out of nowhere was an amazing finish to the match. - I didn't think that the European Rounds match in Lafayette was as fun as the first one, but then again, I don't like Chad Collyer nearly as much as I like Chris Hero. They didn't seem to try and get the crowd into it that often. However, I will give them points on a creative finish. - Samoa Joe murdered the hell out of Arik Cannon and Steve Stone this weekend. To put it simply: if you like watching guys getting beaten to a pulp, Joe's matches this weekend are for you. To give credit where credit is due, both guys got in some pretty good shots on Joe, but once you watch the matches, all you will remember is Joe killing them. - The women's tag match on the first night blew away the ODB/Angel Williams match on Saturday. Mickie is so far ahead of most rookies that it's scary. The angle after the tag match where it took Nate Webb and Petey Williams to get Rain and Lacey out of the ring, as well as Rain being fearless enough to slap Ian Rotten, helped the women storyline cred-wise in IWA as much as the big Allison Danger/Daizee Haze pull-apart at "A Matter of Pride" where it took the entire roster to get them apart instead of the usual four referees. - Red didn't pull out as much of the flippy stuff as he used to, but he still was really good on both nights. I thought he clicked with Aries a lot better than he did with Matt, but neither match was nowhere near not being good. - Speaking of Matt, the Delirious/Sydal-B-Boy/Homicide tag match on Friday was incredible. The basis of the match was that B-Boy and Homicide came in to beat the hell out of a couple of guys and qualify in the tournament, while Sydal and Delirious used their speed and agility to avoid being pounded as much as often. Homicide plastering Delirious in the middle of his weird "twirling the opponent's arm in armbar position" thing was hilarious. Delirious didn't mind dying in this match, between taking some stiff-as-hell forearms from both opponents, as well as the running bootscrape and facelift double-team that left his mouth bloody. - I didn't really find BJ Whitmer's matches on either night to be as impressive as the other stuff. BJ can put on some really good stuff when he wants to, but for one reason or another, couldn't put it together this weekend. - Dunn and Marcos coming out during Ian's opening speech in Highland was the mark-out moment of forever for me. I'm about as big of a mark for those two as it comes, and seeing them in person was awesome. Ian's reaction to those two ("Do you two always drive tens of hours to shows that you aren't booked on?") was tremendous as well. Boz & Bradley ended up murdering them in the tag match after a spurt of really cool fast-paced double-team moves, but it was a really fun murder. - The four-way tag match from Saturday was really fun as well. I was wishing that Nate would have come out with Mister ZERO, seeing as if the four guys that came out before Nate were all Chikara-based. Icarus took a beating with some brutal, brutal chops and his chest really showed it. The Wildcards were a riot, hiding behind people in the bleachers during the ring introductions so that the other six wouldn't think that they were there (DP: "Ladies and gentlemen...the WILDCARDS!" Kingston: "We're not here! Shut up!") Eddie Venom didn't impress that much in the two Lafayette matches I saw him in (Friday night, and the January show), but he was pretty good here. He brought the stiffness, as did Kingston, Ian, and Stone. The dive sequence, ending with Kingston suplexing Ian over the top rope and onto the other six, was great. - Homicide/Hero was really awesome, as expected. The dickwads who apparantly came just to get themselves over by "being clever" and booing/chanting crap at Hero were so obviously ignorant that it wasn't even funny (though Hat telling them to "Shut the fuck up!" was tremendous). It was a bit slower-paced than their KOTDM match, but still really great nontheless. Overall, both shows were really great and once again, you'd be crazy to pass them up when SMV releases them. One last note: I'd like to pass on condolences to the family of Ian Rotten. Ian announced over the mic after his match with Danny Daniels on Friday that his grandmother had passed away.

Basically, being an NWA member entails that you pay some outrageous number each year for a title belt, some crappy t-shirts in your merch stand, and the right to call yourself "NWA (whatever)", which doesn't draw a dime. although... i believe that it does allow you to avoid the "booking fees" TNA is now charging for their contracted talent. and makes it a lot easier to book talent from other NWA affiliates; and i certainly wouldn't mind seeing more guys from places like NWA-Wildside in an Ian's ring. ................ AND... it allows Ian to further give Cornette the finger. and i'm okay w/ that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phoenix Fury Legdrop 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2004 I hadn't heard that being an affiliate lets you avoid the new NWA booking hassles. Plus, I've already heard horror stories of NWA affiliates booking AJ for shows, and then Bob Ryder pulling him off to do an un-affiliated show. Also, Ian and Behrens had been working together without Ian being a member since November. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeDirt 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2004 Is it still going to be called IWA-MS? Or NWA Indiana? And can they not do the deathmatch stuff because they're going to be part of the NWA, or is that a separate decision? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustJoe2k5 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2004 I wonder if this means no more booking Corporal Robinson, Mad Man Pondo, Necro Butcher, and Wifebeater. If they don't have any deathmatches, then those guys are pretty much worthless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
