Only two I've seen are Quote the Raven and You've Gotta See This.

 

Quote the Raven was alright. I wasn't exactly a huge fan of the Hero/Raven match, as it looked a lot like Raven was sleepwalking through the match, and even tapped out before Chris could get the Hangman's Clutch fully locked in. The Shelley/Jacobs 2/3 Falls match was really fun, and the Daniels/Sabin/Martini three-way was a really good spotfest. Nothing else really struck me as being noteworthy, though.

 

You've Gotta See This, however, was an amazing show. In my opinion, it's the best Lafayette IWA show to date, going over Winter Wars back in December (though I'm sure tomorrow night might knock it off of its throne early). The only match on the show I didn't like was Ryan Boz/Eddie Venom, and even then, you got Venom almost murdering Boz with one of the most killer big boots I've seen in forever. You also got a really great Red/Austin Aries match, Samoa Joe killing Steve Stone, a great Eddie Kingston/Chris Hero match, and one of my MOTY candidates in Team Friday (B-Boy and Homicide) against Team Gateway (Matt Sydal and Delirious).

 

If Faceoff was the last Allentown show, then I've seen it. Outside of Joker/Strong and Shelley/Hero/Bradley/Rave, I wouldn't waste my money on it if I were you. There was nothing on that show I'd consider to be "good", and Ruckus/Berk was embarrassingly bad. Also, every match but the four-way seemed to be rushed a bit, since I'd assume they'd want to get the show overwith as soon as possible because of the crappy attendance.

CZW Overdrive was quite an enjoyable show overall.

 

Merc vs. DJ vs. Gutter

 

Ladder Match - GQ vs. Jon Dahmer vs. Jude

 

Z-BARR & Nick Berk vs. All Money Is Legal vs. CKNY

 

Rebels Army vs. All Money is Legal

 

Team F.I.S.T. & Mike Quackenbush vs. The Wild Cards & Hallowicked

 

2 out 3 Tables Match - Sabian, Joker & Ruckus vs. Jimmy Jacobs, Sonjay Dutt & Chri$ Ca$h

 

Roderick Strong vs. Nick Gage

 

Teddy Hart vs. Petey Williams vs. Jack Evans

 

B-Boy vs. Adam Flash

 

Nail Boards & Taipei Death Match - Messiah vs. Zandig

 

Thats the card. The Hart/Williams/Evans was interesting in that spotfest style way. Both the Ladder and the Tables matches had their merits. All of the matches were at least watchable plus you get the added bonus of seeing Teddy Hart bleeding like a slaughtered cow after Zandig drops him on whats left of a nail board.

 

If you haven't already got it though get Cage Of Death V as that was one of CZW's best shows.

well remember i am a czw fan so i probably overrate them a bit.

 

overdrive i thought was a good show when i went to it. the notable matches are the chikara 6 man tag, the gq/dahmer/jude ladder match, the 6 man 2/3 falls table match(the stories heading into the match was great stuff with all 6 having a motivation heading into the match) also the zandig messiah match was a well worked deathmatch. the canada 3 way was an incredible exhibition but not a match.

 

have not seen face off yet but from the 4 way on it looks like good stuff

You can't go wrong with any of IWA Mid-South's bigger shows the past couple of months. From Ted Petty Invitational '03 to last week's tag title tournament, they've been putting on the best shows around.
