Just looking at how insane that tag match will be makes me shed tears of violence

[yrallee]

So, what's the word on attending these shows?
Tonight's has more matches, but to get there on time I'll have to rush through dinner right after work or buy food there.
Tomorrow's is easier to get to (IMO), cheaper and there's plenty of time to deal with food prior to the event.

In any case, who's going to which show? I'm leaning towards tomorrows.

[President B. Dazzle]

I will be at both; Marissa will be at Sat only.

For those coordinating rides, I will not be driving anyone tonight from our area, as I work ten minutes from the Garfield building and will go there after dinner at the Willow Brook mall. Anyone who wishes to meet me for a 5:15 dinner at Willow Brook can do so, and they have a park-n-ride in their parking lot so we can all pile in my car.

As for Saturday, Marissa gets in at 5:47, so whatever we're doing we can work from there, tho she'll probably want dinner.

[CRASHER]

I'm going to both and should be home to lead the travel brigade since I almost know how to get there by now

[Jayson"Phonics"]

I am aiming to go to the Saturday show so whomever i can bum a ride from let me know

[yrallee]

I think I'm just going to go tomorrow.

anyone with a recap?

[President B. Dazzle]

Match 1: Alica vs. Talia
Alica was a solid heel woman wrestler. Talia was a little bland but the better looking woman. This match brought us a couple of good lines from both us and Alica. Alica retained by reversing a sunset flip and putting her hands on the ropes. Solid for a woman's opener.

Match 2: Rutgers Varsity vs. Azriel
Eh. RV (probably Romeo Valentino but announcer was inaudible; he had scarlet red and "RV" on his ass in Rutgers black) was okay...seemed nervous and was very kicky-punchy. Azrael is like a bastard cross between Eddie Guerrero and Psychosis without the mask (but with horns). Azrael won with the brainbuster/frog splash. Solid match, would be better if RV could carry the heel portion of the match better.

Match 3: Some guys
Unadvertized. Some dude in a yellow hoodie came out and sat at ringside. Guy #1 (JH) was a classic face. Guy #2 was a Shelly look-alike and classic shit-talking coward heel. They fought for a little while, then some guy (RM) made the announcer make the match a triple threat. Then, RM proceeds to stand out there and watch the match go on until JH gets whipped in his direction. He pulls JH out and jumps in the ring. Heel goes to high five him, RM does a sit-out Rock Bottom, followed by Gorilla Pressing him into the turnbuckle for the win.

At this point, some dude in a skull mask (Scott: It's Eddie Guerrero!) walked around the ringside area being a FF.

Segment: The Naked Truth hosted by Julio Denero
The practiced segment fucking sucked, but Julio at least knows how to talk. It was announced that Samoa Joe and Chris Hero no-showed, and that Tom Carter had a bad shoulder injury and would not be able to fight Justin Credible. This brings out JC, who threatens Deniro. This brings out Necro Butcher, who says that Justin Credible can buy into any match he wants with anyone on the card. JC threatens Deniro but in the end JC says he's gonna cash it in later and make Deneiro sweat.

Match 3 - Crowbar vs. Michael Sain
Michael Sain stalls. A LOT. And he isn't really crisp with his moves. But he's got the crazy goth persona down. Crowbar is pretty cool. Crowbar got beat on A LOT in this match. It seemed to take forever, but eventually Crowbar mounted his comeback, which included a busted chair shot. When doing so, that creepy dude in the yellow hoodie said something to Sain, who kicked out of a big splash, then (while botching the counter) hit a Samoan Driver for the pinfall.

Match 4: Danny Demento vs. Kenny Omega
Demento looks a little thinner, and was accompanied by Talia from the opening match. Omega has the physical goods but looks like he's scripting his motions...maybe a little young. Demento is about the same as you remember him, minus going through the club wall in Paterson. Relatively uneventful match with Demento wins with a modified teardrop suplex. Omega can be good with some more ringwork. Post-match, Omega kicks Demento in the nuts and grabs a chair, but commissioner Necro Hippie Butcher saves Demento. Remember this, as we go to intermission and hear crappy rap. More of a recap later, I'm at work

Match 5: Jay Lethal vs. The Genius
The Genius looks NOTHING like he used to. Like, completely different. And pale. Genius came out first and buried the gimmick. Jay really has the Macho gimmick down pat, save for the elbow. Match was short (Genius announced himself at 53) and they hit all their trademark spots, including the Genius moonsault which hit knees. Lethal wins with the elbow, but he really has trouble tucking his legs like Macho used to do. Post-match, Genius gave him the rub.

Match 6: Paul E. Normous (with "Eddie Guerrero") vs. The Zombie
Paul E. Normous talks about how natural he is (Scott: You make TEST [edit: thanks Scott] look like CM Punk!) and how he doesn't need steroids or gimmicks. Zombie comes out, and is actually pretty fun in a match. I didn't think this would be good, but Zombie is entertaining enough. It's amazing how much Zombie looks like the Warrior. Fairly even back and forth action. Near the end of the match, Zombie starts attacking the ref rather randomly, which causes him to get hit with the old Marc Mero TKO and pinned. Post-match, Zombie kills Eddie Guerrero with a four-corner back bump into the TKO. And following that, he gets the mic, and, well, you can probably guess how that went.

Match 7: Abyss vs. Steven Mack
My initial diagnosis is that Mack is fucked. And as predicted, Mack doesn't get much offense in. What offense he does get in sucked, tho. Mack just has not improved much...having Mafia around covered a lot of his weaknesses. Abyss bumps the ref, Mack hits his clothesline finisher, covers, no ref. Kingston attacks Mack, sets him up for the Black Hole Slam for the pinfall, but Commissioner Nerco Hippie Butcher reverses the decision, giving Mack the DQ win. Reason: he wants Abyss in a bloody deathmatch to main event next card. Yeah, I thought he was dead, too. What's worse is that the rest of the fans started chanting "Necro's gonna kill you" at Abyss! Ummm, k.

Match 8: Sabu vs. Trent Acid vs. D. Doring
Doring takes the mic and talks shit about steroids. Sabu just punches him in the face. They brawl for a little, but in comes Justin Credible, and we have...

Match 8B: Sabu vs. Trent Acid vs. D. Doring vs. Justin Credible
Sabu pairs off with Acid, while Doring (who hurt himself doing a dropkick) pairs off with Credible. Sabu BADLY botches the table spot the first time, going head first into an unbreaking table. In the ring, they hurry to the finish, as it appears that Doring is legit hurt. Acid superkicks Doring, then That's Incredible on Acid. Sabu breaks up the fall, hits the Arabian Facepress on Acid, and it's over. Everyone hits their trademark spots, hurries the match up, everyone goes home with their shit pushed in.

Match 9: Lo-Ki and Eddie Kingston vs. Necro Butcher
Two on one hijinks for a little bit leads to Necro getting his shit pushed in which leads to...

...Danny Demento making the save? You poor bastard.

Match 9-B: Lo-Ki and Eddie Kingston vs. Necro Butcher and Danny Demento
Butcher/Demento took the fight to the outside for a while, going into all four sections of the crowd. Was kinda funny to watch Butcher lead Ki around by his eye sockets. When they got back in, Demento got his ass kicked for a few solid minutes before hitting Ki with a belly to back suplex. Tag to Butcher, and shit went buck-wild again. Butcher gets taken out of the picture, and Steven Mack chases Kingston to the back. This leaves Demento and Ki in the ring, and you can guess where that went. Warrior's Way, GG.

Post-match, Demento got a bit of a rub from Ki, and got helped out of the ring.

[CRASHER]

PS, I told him he made TEST look like CM Punk

that got about 4 people to spit out soda
