Guest OSIcon Report post Posted April 14, 2005 So it is a straight up 16 man tournament....as in 15 matches in one night? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sturgis Report post Posted April 14, 2005 I'd assume so, seeing as Zandig ain't in charge of booking anymore cause he'd make them all 4-Way's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest OSIcon Report post Posted April 14, 2005 That's a lot of matches for one show. On the positive side, I guess the addition of heavyweights should mean that the matches will be a little more varied in terms of style. 15 CZW junior matches in one night would be ridiculous overkill.

The Ill One 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2005 Isn't CZW all about overkill? It shouldn't be bad at all, fifteen matches in one night is really a bang for your buck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest jobsquad Report post Posted April 18, 2005 (edited) quacks added 2 spots left also maven bentley ran a spinoff benefit show in north philly results c&ped from pwbts.com CZW/MBA held a benefit show for the Delaware Valley Association for the Education of Young Children at Northeast High School last night. Attendance was probably 150ish, but with a hot crowd and fun atmosphere. Match results: Ruckus successfully defend his CZW World Heavyweight Title, defeating Excalibur DJ Hyde and "Drew" (a student at NE High, also a CZW school trainee apparently, and older brother of well-known CZW show regular "Little Mondo") over Maven Bentley, Robby Mireno and Sabian, which easily got the most heat of the night. These two got an insane amount of heat with Kingston having a field dady with what could be called an easily excitable group of Northeast High School students Shane Taylor over Nick Berk...Taylor once worked as "Mr. Motion", half of an early CZW tag team, Extreme Fahrenheit. Derek Frazier over Eddie Kingston to win the "MBA/A-Maven-Can Idol World Heavyweight Title".Maven then ordered Frazier to defend against Daunte Sweet - Sabian/Kingston mugged Frazier who was counted out, so Maven stripped Frazier of the belt and awarded to Sweet. Crossbones over Jude, Cory Kastle, and Rick Feinberg. This match was originally supposed to have Ravage on the show, said to have busted up his leg at Chikara on Friday (clearly injured and on crutched when he came into the building earlier in the evening). Postmatch saw Jon Dahmer hit the Move Of 1000 Maniacs on Jude who had refused to leave the ring. Niles Young over Heretic and Andy Sumner Slacker Martin over Kento Sai with a crossarmbreaker no less Z-Barr over Sean Bishop Edited April 18, 2005 by jobsquad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest jobsquad Report post Posted April 26, 2005 anounced first round matches super dragon Vs bosh derek frasier Vs Claudio Castagnoli Nate Webb Vs Ebessan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Corino 1000 Report post Posted April 26, 2005 Only bosh and dragon look decent so far. I can't really judge according with Nate Webb and Ebessan cause haven't seen any of Ebessan's work. But knowing Nate Webbs in it makes it crap. Can I get some info Ebessan since I'm on the topic(didn't wanna make new post). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest jobsquad Report post Posted April 26, 2005 ebessan is probably the best comedy wrestler in the biz. although he is good in non comedy matches he does incredible comedy. watch his matches with kumbushio(sp) kamen in osaka pro in japan or his stuff in chikara's tag world grand prix to realise why he is loved Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2005 Yeah, his stuff at the Tag Grand Prix showed how versatile he can be. Lucha style, uses a shining wizard as his finish, wears a clownish sorta mask with big plastic ears at the side. This'll be exactly what you'd expect probably...comedy opening, getting serious towards the end. Not sure what makes Nate Webb 'crap', considering some of the guys CZW employs. Each to their own I guess. I'm certainly looking forward to Webb/Ebessan more than the other two matches so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cuban Linx 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2005 (edited) Sabian vs B-Boy is the 4th opening round match announced. This years tourney really has the potential to be damn good, with no more three-ways and possibly the best field CZW has put together for a BOTB to date, CZW always lifts for it's big shows and if that's the case here then we should be looking at one hell of a show. EDIT: Excalibur vs El Generico is #5. Edited April 30, 2005 by Cuban_Linx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Corino 1000 Report post Posted April 30, 2005 Not sure what makes Nate Webb 'crap', considering some of the guys CZW employs. Each to their own I guess. I'm certainly looking forward to Webb/Ebessan more than the other two matches so far. Well because Nate Webb is good in comparison to the other guys CZW hires don't make me blind brother! Nate Webb is a spotty piece of crap who should have been killed last year at Simply the Best 5 when he fucking over shot that moonsault. Well as I was saying, do you recommend any good shows I should watch with Ebessan in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2005 Just like Jack Evans did? How many matches of Nate Webb's have you actually watched? Because I dare say I've watched plenty more than you have, judging from your opinion. And yeah, saying you think a wrestler should have died because you don't like them is real classy, considering what happened the other day. Real classy indeed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Corino 1000 Report post Posted April 30, 2005 Are you serious. Jack Evans at least is good at what his style of wrestling is. You see Nate Webb is a generic indy piece of shit who's only thing that stands out is his theme. When he miss that moonsault to the outside it's because he sucks and overshot a simple flipping maneuver. When Jack Evans messes up its for some real shit, not a simple back flip..... And our conversation has nothing to do with Candido so shut the fuck up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2005 Like I say, obviously you haven't seen much of him. How many matches aside from BOTB5 (which was nothing but a CZW spotfest to begin with) have you actually seen Nate Webb in, might I ask? Have you seen any of his matches with CM Punk? Or Matt Sydal? Petey Williams? Quackenbush? They stand out much more than Jack Evans' matches, aside from the fact Evans can OMGFLIPLOTSOFTIMES~! (Don't get me wrong, Evans is very good at what he does, but he's not a better wrestler than Nate.) And you're right, it has nothing to do with Candido. It has to do with you saying Nate Webb should have died because he missed a backflip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JebusNassedar Report post Posted April 30, 2005 Honestly, I prefer Evans to Webb. Because while Webb is athletic, has a natural flow to his movements, works good comedy spots (which makes me want to see Ebbesan/Nate) and can work a lot of matches, it's Jack's arrogance and INCREDIBLE selling that make me like him like I do. Webb is kind of generic, in that he looks and acts like a normal guy outside of the ring, except a little jittery. Jack Evans is that white kid who acts black who everyone has wanted to beat up at one time or another, and can rile a crowd up, or get them entirely on his side in moments, depending on where he is. So, in short, Nate's more of a straight worker, but Jack Evans is such an annoying cock it makes you want to pay to see him get thrashed, and when he does, he gets thrashed very, very well.

It has to do with you saying Nate Webb should have died because he missed a backflip. I've actually seen a alot of his work. You notice all those people you named probally carried him throw the entire match. Nate Webb is a ordinary guy an there's nothing to him. Like you said I haven't seen any of the matches you named but what I've seen a couple IWA MS matches and the CZW BOTB5. Judging from what I've seen he is a pretty stale, robitic, wrestler in the ring. Most of his transactions make little no sense and seem unatural. Personally I'd just like to say I personally don't like him. This is a battle of opinion which can't be won by either side so just end it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
