-
The show opened with Larry Zbyszko saying Russo wasn't there and he
wasn't going to let Dusty take over (Dusty and Russo have been feuding
for months now). This led to Zbyszko announcing he'll bring another
member of the Championship Committee to the show next week. AMW and
Triple X were giving out to Zbyszko about the tag title situation
(Skipper and Harris are champs) but they just annoyed Larry so he made
Harris and Skipper vs. Daniels and Storm for the tag titles for
tonight.
-
Did Petey really need all of Team Canada out there for his match with
Jerrelle Clark? Was Clark such a threat in a non-title match that all of
them needed to be at ringside? Decent match and a little longer than
you'd expect but Petey wins with the Canadian Destroyer after Team
Canada interfered.
-
Two squashes on this show, 3LK beat some jobbers to reinforce them as
tag title contenders (BG wasn't there due to hurricane damage to his
home) and Abyss beat a jobber to reinforce him as a World title
contender who is now free from Goldylocks.
-
Jarrett cut a promo demanding to know who he was going to face at
Victory Road (the main contenders are being touted as Killings, Hardy,
Monty, Raven and Abyss) including saying he'll face an outsider before
throwing a toothpick at the camera (further hinting at the imminent
arrival of Hall and Nash). Monty came out, said Jarrett should be
worried about him and they brawled for a while.
-
A unique and quite strange main event. AMW and Triple X both came out
together even though they were opponents. Harris only wrestled Daniels
and Storm only wrestled Skipper for much of the match. While it had a
thirty minutes time limit they only went just over ten minutes. Decent
match and communication between Skipper and Daniels broke down resulting
in Storm pinning Skipper so he and Daniels are now tag champs. This was
an interesting scenario.
Closing Thoughts
The show has been better in the last couple of weeks. Nothing special but certainly more watchable.
