JoeDirt Posted August 30, 2004 Report Posted August 30, 2004 I recently saw night two of Chikara's Young Lions Cup, and wanted to talk about the most entertaining part of the show, which was a one on one tournament match between the Wild Cards...Eddie Kingston and Blackjack Marciano. The Wild Cards come to the ring and immediately start ripping into all the fans. Marciano steals a guys hat and puts it down his pants and then throws it across the gym. They make fun of all the fans and each other, and stall for about 10 minutes doing this. They then start ripping on each other for being fat, when Marciano goes "well at least we're not as fat as HER" and points to a rather large woman seated in the crowd. They then lock up, and Kingston rolls Marciano to the mat for a 2 count, and proceeds to pull down his pants, leaving him on the mat in his underwear! Kingston runs around the ringside area celebrating like he just hit a home run in the World Series. They finally get to wrestling and have a pretty good match. It's slow, but very hard hitting and not too bad, with each guy cheating as much as possible to try and win. Finally Eddie Kingston rolls out of the ring and gets on the mic, and gives a great promo about how him and his tag partner are just KILLING each other out there and for what? The stupid fans? And they both decide to leave. So the ref starts counting them out as they leave and go backstage, and as he reaches 16, both guys start running back to the ring, fighting with each other and trying to get the other guy counted out! It's fucking brilliant. The crowd just LOVED this segment...you could just see it on their faces, as everyone was laughing and smiling. Kingston and Marciano are simply the most charismatic tag team on the indy circuit today, and some of the best comedy heels out there. Ya mutha!
Phoenix Fury Legdrop Posted August 30, 2004 Report Posted August 30, 2004 The "hat down the pants" schtick HAS to be a rib on the douchebag who they messed with at the July IWA show in Lafayette.
JoeDirt Posted August 30, 2004 Author Report Posted August 30, 2004 The "hat down the pants" schtick HAS to be a rib on the douchebag who they messed with at the July IWA show in Lafayette. Isn't that the guy who bitched about it on the message boards? Yeah, Marciano teased doing it and Kingston says "Oh, you can't do that, that's BAD." Their interaction with the crowd is just fantastic.
Phoenix Fury Legdrop Posted August 30, 2004 Report Posted August 30, 2004 Same guy. At least that incident got rid of the last original anti-Hero mark.
