Results for Night One taken from the CZWFans board.

 

Results:

 

Block B: Gran Akuma and Icarus defeated Mana and John Cabbie

-Mana is a beast.

 

Block C: Dunn and Marcos defeated Shawn Hagadorn and Davey Andrews

-Davey Andrews comes out with a Steve Blackman like duffle bag and has an ROH turnbuckle pad in it as well as 2 dodgeballs. Halfway through the match he turns it into a game of dodgeball. He was really impressive says my friend.

 

Block A: Lance Steel and Jolly Roger defeated Mano Metalico and Crossbones

-Supposed to be freaking hillarious. Roger and Lance come out with a treasure chest and Roger gives Lance a sword which he starts hitting Mano with in the metal hand. Supposed to rule.

 

Block D: Ebessan and Billy Ken Kid defeated Shirley Doe and Darkness Crabtree (Hillarious Match)

-Supposed to be in the words of my friend "the greatest thing ever." Crabtree pops pills to give him a burst of energy but has a heart attack.

 

Block B: Arik Cannon and Claudio Castagnoli defeated Allison Danger and Alere Little Feather

-Allison Danger took a sick ass Pyramid Driver/Warlock Combo for the finish.

 

Block C: Jigsaw and Sabian defeated Rorschach and Ravage

-Good match but too short.

 

Block A: Jimmy Jacobs and Danny Daniels defeated Din Mak and Mat Bomboy

-Mat and Din are not supposed to be good. They turn on eachother halfway through the match.

 

*The Mystery Team Is Glenn Spectre and A Guy In A Box*

-Supposed to be great. They name like 4 people only for the announcer to run to the back to get them, come back out and say they aren't here. Adam Flash was drawn but due to not being in wrestling clothes he was not allowed to compete.

 

Block D: Super Dragon and B-Boy defeated Glenn Spectre and A Guy In A Box

-My friend is sitting beside a guy who hates Super Dragon, meanwhile my buddy loves Super Dragon. Hillarity ensued during the entrance of Team PWG. Apparently A Guy In A Box was in like a six foot high box and had twigs all over him which Dragon went on to snap. Supposed to be nutty.

 

Block B: Arik Cannon and Claudio Castagnoli defeated Gran Akuma and Icarus

 

Block C: Jigsaw and Sabian defeated Dunn and Marcos

-Supposed to be crazy dueling "Dunn And Marcos... Jigsaw and Sabian" chants.

 

Block A: Jolly Roger and Lance Steel defeated Jimmy Jacobs and Danny Daniels

-Jimmy tapped to Steel's Boston Crab.

 

Block D: Ebessan and Billy Ken Kid defeated Super Dragon and B-Boy

-Apparently fucking GREAT. Not a comedy match, Ebessan showed he can work. Crazy finishing sequence of reversals leading to a backslide on B-Boy from Kid for the win. Super Dragon came out with THE HEAD OF THE BOX.

 

My friend said it was one of the funnest shows he's ever been to and he's going the next 2 nights. I'll have results for them as well. Going on to Night 3: Jolly Roger and Lance Steel, Jigsaw and Sabian, Double C and Arik Cannon and Ebessan and Billy Ken Kid.

[Cuban Linx 0]

And results for Night Two, taken from the same place as the above:

 

 

Skyade and Milanito Collection AT vs. Trik Davis and Emil Sitoci

-Excellent match. Sitoci looked GREAT, Davis looked alot better than I remembered. Toryumon X wins, but I totally forget how.

 

Beef Wellington and Bear vs. Version 2.0 and Darin Corbin

-Very, very fun match. Version 2.0 is Matt Hardy lite, and he played the character perfectly. The Bear was as hysterical as you would think. Him & Beef win after an asspunch is followed up with the E-Coli Driver.

 

Skyade and Milanito Collection AT vs Beef Wellington and Bear

-Pre-match, THE BEAR MAULED THE REF, so Bryce comes out DRESSED IN HOCKEY GEAR convincing himself that "I'm not afraid of any bears!" Surprisingly, Beef & Bear dominated most of the match, including BEAR HITTING THE ASSPUNCH on Milanito. Toryumon X wins when Milanito forces Bear to tape out to a wakigatame. Fun, solid match.

 

Necro Butcher and Mad Man Pondo vs. Anthony Franco and Matt Turner

-Oh god was this stiff. Necro & Pondo beat the everloving shit outta the trainees...the crowd was (shockingly) firmly behind the RoH kids. Pondo pins Turner with...A MAJISTRAHL CRADLE!

 

Mr. Zero and Shane Storm vs. Larry Sweeney and ShareCropper

-Sweeney and Cropper got an insane amount of heat. Everyone but a select few just HATE these guys. They each had these bright gold ring jackets that were just ridiculous. Storm & Zero were their typical selves...Storm pins Cropper with a cradle to send the favorites home early.

 

Necro Butcher and Mad Man Pondo vs Shane Storm & Mr. Zero

-This just kind of seemed to be there. Pondo busted out a few more wrestling moves, including a ropewalk. And smashing Storm in the face with a STOP sign. The Death Match Kings advance when Pondo forces Storm to tap to an STF. Post-match, Pondo MURDERS Zero with Storm's STOP/SLOW sign.

 

Jon Dahmer and DeeJay Hyde vs. Cory Kastle and Niles Young

-This really sucked, probably the worst match of the first 2 nights. Team CZW wins after Dahmer's Move of 1000 Maniacs on one of the CKNY boys.

 

El Generico and Kevin Steen vs. K-Murda and K-Pusha

-Really, really good match. Generico was SO over, and Steen gained alot of overness with his sarcastic comments throughout. AMIL didn't really impress me a whole lot. Team IWS wins after Steen hits his Package Piledriver, rolls the guy through to Generico, who finishes him with a BRAINBUSTAAAAAAAAAAH.

 

Jon Dahmer and DeeJay Hyde vs El Generico and Kevin Steen

-A little better than the CKNY-CZW match, and that was all thanks to Generico & Steen. Generico played the face in peril for most of the match, and he eventually pins Hyde with a rollup after a Steen superkick.

 

Chris Hero and Mike Quackenbush vs. Eddie Kingston and Mickie Knuckles

-Mickie got a GREAT pop as Kingston's partner. Eddie seemed less than thrilled, half-heartedly cheering her on, and constantly tagging himself in and out. This match got REALLY stiff, including Hero nailing Kingston with a headbutt that sounded like 2 bricks being smashed together. Mickie took a good beating, but kept coming back for more, but was eventually finished off by Hero's Hangman's Clutch. She got a standing ovation after the match, and actually looked kinda hot tonight.

 

Hallowicked and Blind Rage vs. Private Eye and DJ Skittlez

-The face team of Eye Candy was loved so much by the crowd. Unfortunately, the Night Shift's GENIUS occult-style gimmick was met with laughter. UltraMantis Black was ringside with his Night Shift stablemates, complete with digeridoo with bells on it. Night Shift wins after the super fisherman's buster by Hallowicked onto Skittlez.

 

Chris Hero and Mike Quackenbush vs Hallowicked and Blind Rage

-Great match. Lots of submission work by Quack and Hero on the leg of Hallowicked. Mantis got involved, tripping Quack with the CANE OF DOOM a couple times. Eventually Hero came in and cleaned house, which led to Quack hitting the Quackendriver on Blind Rage for the victory.

 

 

So the 8 teams left for tomorrow night are...

-Team Osaka Pro, Ebessan and Billy Ken Kid

-Arik Cannon and Claudio Castignoli

-Jigsaw and Sabian

-Knight Eye for the Pirate Guy, Lance Steel and Jolly Roger

-The SuperFriends, Mike Quackenbush and Chris Hero

-Team Toryumon X, Skyade and Milanito Collection AT

-Team IWS, El Generico and Kevin Steen

-The Death Match Kings, Mad Man Pondo and Necro Butcher

[Guest 5.0Fanatic]

anyone know the results of the final night? I thought I read somewhere Cannon/Double C beat The Superfreinds in the finals, but I'm not sure

[King Cucaracha 0]

Six man tag started Jimmy Jacobs/Allison Danger/Daniels def Eddie Kingston/DJ Skittlez/and Dahmer

 

Superfriends def Steen and Generico

Jigsaw/Sabian def Necro/Pondo by DQ=Jigsaw took a beating like a fucking champ. Pretty funny match as Pondo started the match off doing technical wrestling.

Arik Cannon/Castagnoli def Steel/Roger

Team Osaka Pro def Team Tourymon

 

Superfriends def Osaka

Cannon/Castagnoli def Jigsaw/Sabian

 

Cannon/Castagnoli def Superfriends via Hero turning.

 

Before the finals there was an 8 man and 10 man tag match, which were really more fun than 90% of the matches IMO.

-from CZWFans.com

 

8 Man was apparantly Icarus/Akuma/Beef/Bear against Anthony Franco/ Matt Turner/???/???

 

10 Man was Version 2.0/Coribin/Shane Storm/Emil Sitoci/Trik Davis against Cheech/Cloudy/Davey Andrews/Shane Hagadorn/Larry Sweeney(~!)

 

Feedback has been positive again, looks like the best CHIKARA show they've put on.

 

Also, Hero cut a promo on Quackenbush post main event to cement his heel turn, which apparantly went down pretty well. Question is, does this mean Hero is officially a heel in IWA:MS too? Or did he turn on the last show?

Hero's still a face in IWA Mid-South despite being a heel just about everywhere else, though with the losing streak angle one would think his turn there can't be too far away.

Jesus titty-fucking Christ. I am buying these shows as soon as they are out at SMV.

 

Nuff said.

 

Edit: http://www.whacks.bizland.com//Chikara/TWGP/2night/TWGP.html Those are the Night Two pics. I love this.

Beef Wellington and the Bear vs. Team Toryumon from Chikara's Tag Grand Prix...it's comedy gold:

[Guest 5.0Fanatic]

This is easily the best tournment in wrestling. I picked all three up and couldn't put them down. Theres some awesome comedy with some damn fine wrestling getting thrown around too. Out of all the matches there were only like two that I thought were subpar.

[King Cucaracha 0]

I got nights 1 and 2 in the post this morning. First CHIKARA shows I've bought, so hopefully it'll be a good introduction (as an IWA fan) to the company.
