Guest Joe_G Report post Posted June 28, 2004 I apologize for starting a new topic. I'm trying my best to avoid match results, which means staying out of the other thread or IWA-MS.com. Two quick questions: 1. How was the show? (Just looking for great, fabulous, dissapointing, etc. You don't have to get into specific matches) 2. Will it be available from Smart Mark Video soon? I checked the site yesterday and they didn't have it up, nor did they have the "Butcher Loose In Highland" show available. I can't access the site at work, so I don't know if it's up yet, and I'm hoping to have it by this long weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Klein/Necro from Night One was one of the best deathmatches I've ever seen. They basically did what every deathmatch should be, and that's beating the crap out of the other guy with whatever you can, however you can, instead of "You stand here, I stab you...I stand here, you staple me" crap. Some of Necro's punches looked more harsh than any weapon shot. - As for Tank, let me just say that he went from a tiny respect applause on Night One to a standing ovation and "Please Come Back" chant at the end of his semi-final match. - I don't know what it was, but Ray Gordy disappointed me greatly. I expected him to break out as the new pure wrestling star in IWA this weekend, but I personally thought he almost looked like he didn't fit in, which is weird since he works mostly the same style that fits in with the IWA crew in Wildside and he's amazing there. - Sydal and Delirious had two really great matches this weekend. I really dug their tag match with Daniels and Whitmer, but their singles match on Night Two might be tied with their 2/3 Falls match in Highland in March for their best match against each other ever. The match, like the Aries match in Lafayette, was based around Matt's wrist injury, as Delirious worked over it the entire match. They also brought the shades of familiarity, as they knew what stuff of each other's to reverse, and Sydal even broke out Delirious's Shadows Over Hell backsplash move. The finish was really smartly done, as Sydal flipped out of the Chemical Imbalance #2 (reverse pumphandle Storm Cradle Driver), but hurt his wrist by keeping ahold of Delirious's hands when flipping, and fell prey to the CI#2 once again for the loss. - Ryan Boz + my Hulk Hogan lunchbox = hilarity ensues. Oh, he also beat the hell out of Smokey C. in the first round. It was some brutal stuff. Total squash match. - Corp. vs. Klein was a really good way to end off KOTDM. The lighttube stuff in the ring was sick enough, but Corporal going through the Light Tube Mansion was the single most amazing bump I've ever seen in person. I thought it should have been the finish myself, but I'm not going to complain when the guys murdered themselves this badly. For deathmatch fans, this is your stuff right here. I have yet to see the 2003 KOTDM, but I heard from people at the show that Necro/Klein and Corp./Klein was better than almost everything last year, but the rest of the weekend was slightly below 2003. Either way, I loved it. As for #2, they said at the show that SMV would have it by the end of the week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phoenix Fury Legdrop 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2004 Hero/Cannon was great, but the 6/19 match was better. Nothing yet announced for Lafayette or Highland this month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
