Mr. S£im Citrus 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2004 The "As Promised" edition! ================ SWF Sunday Night Frost and HOLT report June 13, 2004 Moline, Illinois at Quad Cities Center Report by Dennis Tarwood of Chicago, IL Smartmarks.com reader - I drove all the way to Moline from Chicago to watch this show, but it was well worth the drive; unfortunately, it was so late by the time I got back, that I just went straight to bed, and then after I had to go back to work, I kept putting it off. But, when I saw that nobody else had reviewed the show, I felt like I had to; I’m just glad that I kept my notes! Frost: - Renegade beat Xstasy in 6:22 with the Renebreak. - The opening video package highlighted the Iron Man match, showing various clips of Alan Clark and Landon Maddix. Afterwards, Kevin Cole conducted an interview with Landon Maddix and Megan Skye. Maddix spoke about how he’s had to survive competing on his own, saying something about how the whole ordeal has been a trial to test his faith in Todd. He then went on to discuss the personal history between him and Alan Clark; he said that Clark had been a thorn in his side for too long, and that in the Iron Man Match, he was going to cleanse his heathen soul in the light of Todd. - A small video segment aired with the Memphis Eel in Commissioner Zenon’s office. The Eel claimed that as a representative of R.J. Frost™ brand enterprises, and as Mr. Frost’s official liaison for the SWF, he was contractually obligated to appear on Frost. Zenon reluctantly told him to get into his gear and get ready to compete tonight. - Michael “Spike” Spaster (as Sean Atlas) beat Judge Mental in 8:04 with the Saint’s Demise. - The second video package focused on the feud between Toxxic and Nathaniel Kibagami. Ben Hardy interviewed Toxxic, who has to be more in love with himself than anyone in the SWF not named Tom Flesher. Toxxic seemed to think that he wasn’t getting the respect in the federation that he felt he deserved, and when Hardy mentioned that he’d probably had more title opportunities than any rookie in recent memory, Toxxic completely ignored him and began talking about what he intended to do to Kibagami. When asked how he intended to counter Silent’s experience, Toxxic said that his sheer talent and purity of thought will be more than enough to triumph over the hedonistic Kibagami. - Déjà Vu beat Chris Card & The Memphis Eel in 4:31 when Kris and Kross hit a double frog splash on the Eel. Afterwards, Card and Natasha verbally abused the Eel as Déjà Vu made their way to the back. - After the show came back from commercial, there was yet another video package, this one highlighting the Best of Five series, showcasing the highlights of each match, and ending on a dramatic staredown between Flesher and Night. Bobby Riley then interviewed Flesher, who had Alison Onita with him. Flesher said something about allowing himself to become soft, and how much easier wrestling had become again ever since he stopped caring about the fans, which got some boos. He said that Dace Night wasn’t on his level, and that he should consider what was going to happen a privilege, as he usually charges students thousands of dollars to get the wrestling lesson that Dace was about to receive. - Jimmy Liston beat Stryke in 3:55 with a Powerbomb. - The final video package centered on the history between Janus and Danny Williams, and the path that Janus took to lead him to this World Championship Title opportunity. Afterwards, Cyclone Comet interviewed Danny Williams. Danny mentioned the Unholy Trinity, and blamed Janus for its demise. He said that Janus’ mental instability would mean his demise, and that he was going to walk out of Moline the same way that he walked in: as the SWF World Heavyweight Champion. - Michael Craven defeated CIA in 13:18 with the Gulf Coast Crunch. Afterwards, a final video package aired, glossing over the card, as Frost went to fade. 13th Hour: - Best crowd sign: “I saw Cyclone Comet on Bethemask.com” - I couldn’t help but think of Al Snow and Avatar watching Ced come down in that mask, but the match was decent; nice opening for a PPV. - There was about a ten-minute break in the show while they repaired the announce table. While this was going on, they had an impromptu bikini contest, which was judged by Mak Francis, featuring Alison Onita, Jet, Natasha and Megan Skye. Natasha won after soaking her bikini, and then they all poured water all over Francis! I found out after I got home that the bikini contest didn’t make it on the live broadcast; instead, the poor suckers who had to watch at home only saw a pre-taped interview with Johnny Dangerous that they weren’t able to fit on Frost. - I was SOOO into that Cage Match! I didn’t expect it to be that good, given the reputation that both men had going in, but they made believers out of me! They both worked their asses off, and Johnny probably himself as a legitimate Cruiserweight Champion for the first time in my eyes; he really took a big step out of Wildchild’s shadow tonight! - The Riverboat match was entertaining, but it’s always hard to really get into a match that’s not actually taking place in the arena. Well, at least it gave the ring crew plenty of time to take the cage down… - I tell you what, Toxxic got MAD heat for ripping off Edwin in the LMS match; kind of shitty to steal another man’s signature moves when he’s too broken down to do anything about it! I loved it when Silent threw it back in his face! And then, he tried to steal Clark’s Encore Cross; it’s like he’s a low-rent Megaman, or something… Still, Toxxic gets mad propers for the victory; I was sure that Silent would pull it out until that Dangerlust. As he was being wheeled backstage, Kibagami, proud to the end, woke up long enough to demand that the EMT’s allow him to walk back on his own power. Despite the crowd’s chants of “please stay down,” the EMT’s finally relented after several minutes of yelling by Silent, which turned out to be stupid, because I don’t think he made it ten feet before he collapsed again. The EMT’s gently replaced him back on the stretcher and got him out of the arena. - That chairshot that TMM delivered to Blazenwing was one of the nastiest ones I’ve ever seen! And who were they kidding with that “Stash the Ash” shit, anyway? Like Craven could get from Moline to Chicago in twenty minutes… - Nice touch to see Clark pay a little homage to Coy West with that slingshot suplex. The last three minutes of the match had CRAZY drama, with Maddix pulling out every trick in the book to try and even up the match, and Clark just trying to play defense long enough to hold on; he definitely earned the Triple Crown! - There honestly isn’t much to say about the Death Match, aside from the fact that it was fucking excellent! I mean, you could feel the drama in the arena, with Dace fighting to advance up the ladder, and Flesher fighting just as hard to keep Dace from taking his spot. In the end, Flesher’s experience proved to be a little too much for Horrorcore, but what the hell’s been up with everybody swiping other people’s moves? Johnny uses Wildchild’s Bahama Bomb, Toxxic and Silent BOTH steal from Edwin, Clark borrows from Coy West, and Flesher takes from TNT; you’d think it was “Use your favorite wrestler’s moves night.” - I knew that when Soapdish wasn’t refereeing the Main Event, that it was a bad omen for Danny… Janus frightens me; a normal human would have been beaten half to death by the whipping that Deathwish put on him. The ending totally left me in shock; when Danny kicked out of that ADF II, I was SURE that Danny was going to retain, especially after that cross kneebreaker; Janus shouldn’t have even been able to STAND after that! The crowd was just stunned when Janus won; I can honestly say that nobody saw it coming.

Secret Agent 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2004 OMG~! I finally made the top 5 pop list and at a PPV no less! - I was SOOO into that Cage Match! I didn’t expect it to be that good, given the reputation that both men had going in, but they made believers out of me! They both worked their asses off, and Johnny probably himself as a legitimate Cruiserweight Champion for the first time in my eyes; he really took a big step out of Wildchild’s shadow tonight! If you really mean that, and not just as in a charater watching the show stand point then thanks. I appreaciate it, WC, that means a lot. *Hug's WC out of the retirement home* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
