WWF - My fave Stars of the 80s




I can vivdly remember watching WWF t.v from Hershey Penn, and then an occasional SNME, on Channel 10 in Sydney..yes there was almost nothing but squashes...BUT...we did get to see some red hot talent and here are my favourties



I have been a BIG fan of Andre since he was at Flemington Markets chucking Big Bad Johns boys around...SO, to say I was stunned when he turned on Hogan is an understatement..I pride myself on being able to picture the progress of a storyline before it happens...


BUT....I didnt see the outcome of that Pipers Pit ...the match at WM 3 was pretty good, considering Andre could barely move,  his run with the twin ref swerve and selling the bellt to Ted was sheer brilliance...truly one of the wrestling worlds unique personas.



I can remember Sarge showing up on WWF tv and giving Vinny a earful about his haircut and dress code, he had a fued with Pat Paterson that stemmed from Sarge not releasing the Cobra Clutch as quick as he should, they had a absolute bloodbath at MSG in the streetfight, that they amazingly worked with no ref, so not only didnt they have a "go home" call, thay had to gauge the crowd while beating each other barmy...then he did that turn on t.v when Kosrow blocked his way, he got to the ring and recited the Pledge of Allegiance and everyone in the building joined in...this led to a couple of amazing brawls, once again at MSG, his work in the NWA and AWA wasnt too foul either tagging with Don Kernodle in NWA and winning the tag belts and carrying on his fued with "Foreigners" in Verne's promotion.....


and just when you thought he was done, he carried on into the 90's as a UBER heel...but thats another blog altogether.


WEASEL...WEASEL...WEASEL....
How good was Bobby Heenan...he was in Vernes promtion one minute and the next thing I see him on channel 10 cutting Andres hair in the lead up to WM One...Heenans Family were a deadset thorn in the face's side in those days, he had Bundy, Studd, Tully & Arn, Orndorff and Ric Rude at various times in the era...pretty much any heel Vince wanted to get over got put with Heenan...then he gave commentary a go with Gorilla and they formed a legendary combo before Bobby went to WCW and got treated like crap ...his not been well these past few years...but, to me his always gonn abe the Brain.


The Greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time....BAAHAHAHAHA...yeah righto, whatever you reckon...Honky showed up in 1986 supposedly to be face, but the crowd didnt buy it, and thus they started the vote of confidence angle..which pissed more people off......his first big fued was with Jake Roberts after he bashed Jake over the head ( and busted his neck legit) with a guitar on the snakepit talk show..trouble was it wasnt the worked guitar..not Honkys fault though...ended up at WM 3 versus Jake who had Alice Cooper in his corner and they got Damian drapped over Jimmy Hart....


THEN...when Ricky Steamboat wanted a break, they put the I-C belt on him and thus began an 11 month run as IC champ...the length of which still astounds me, even today...mind you it was mostly DQ's and count-outs...Honky was alos part of the angle that formed the Mega Powers when him and the Hart Foundation were beating Savage up and Liz went and got Hogan to help out........at Summerslam 88, when Beefcake couldnt make their match, he called out the locker room...the Warior answered the challenge and 31 seconds later he lost the belt ......then came the Rhythm & Blues tag team with Valentine and was part of Dibiases "Million Dollar team at Survivor Series 90...he finished his WWF stint as a pro heel clor guy working with Vince...he then left the WWF...he wasnt everybodys cup of tea, but he had his moments...and just quietly he does a good shoot interview.



Hogan had a couple of stints with WWF, one in '79 when he was a heel fueding with Andre..and then, probably, his most famous run from 83-91..when he pretty much ruled the storylines, on e in particular is my favourite, when Hogan and Orndorf were tagging against The Family and Mr Wonderful turned on him and dropped him on his head and then there was his go around with Piper leading up to WM 1, that included Orton, Orndorff , Snuka and actor Mr T...this 
was aruagbly his best storyline...


its when I first saw him and to be fair, I liked him for the first couple of years of his run, but then all that "Hulking" up shit and not selling stuff that he shoulda got on my nerves something chronic....he had a good run with Dibiase and Andre that led up to WM 3..and also had som ecracking matches agaist Muraco, Bundy and Orndorff...then he saved Macho from a beating from the Hart Foundation and Honky which led to The Mega Powers forming and dissolving ....his run with Savage was pretty good as was their fued afterwards...Hogan got his 2nd belt when  he pinned Macho at WM 5...then came the 90's...but thats anothe rblogaroo.


The Snake...one of my favourite stick men in wrestling history...no shouting, no histrionics, no blatant threats..just cool , calm delivery that had you convinced he was just pure evil.....Jake was just awesome, he had the most devastating finisher (dont care what DDP says) in the DDT...and when he brought it to the WWF..he brought Damian with him....Jake started out as a heel...but for some reason, the crowd dug him and Vince had no alternative but to turn him...


Some people think that Jakes recognised former problems with drugs and shit came from when Honky cracked him over the head with the wrong guitar..I dunno about that, Animal from the Roadies says that Jake was a bit of a wildman when they were in the Legion of Doom together...maybe the busted neck made his intake increase...Jake had a few damn fine angles while he was in the WWF in the 80's...Like when he had the toodoo with Steamboat, where famously, on a SNME he almost caved in Rickys head with a DDT..which got the move REALLY over ...then he had a stink with Ric Rude who made the error of cracking onto Jakes wife, who slapped the "Ravishing one" right in the moosh....he then had a stink with Andre were he sed Damian to scare the Giant birko....this led in the 90's ...so more Snakish stuff later.



The Brandon Bull showed up in McMahon land after a sterling run in NWA & Mid South...
He debuted at the Garden the night Hogan beat Sheik for the strap..then beat Tony Atlas on "The War to Settle the Score" show...then with Roddy Piper as his manager, he made the main event of the 1st WM ...were he was ditched by Piper and Ace Orton...this led to a face turn and a partnership with Hogan...Heenan put a $50 k bounty on Paul after he fired The Brain as his manager..needless to say , no one collected....the turn against Hogan began when Adrian Adonis started calling Paul "Hulk Jnr" this was furthered when Orndorf called Hulk, who couldnt come to the phone cause he was under a ton on the weight bench...A couple of tag matches folllowed were Orndorff didnt tag Hulk in at all winning both of them..



Then , Hogan and Paul got The Heenan Family in a tag match on tele...Hulk knocked Orndorff off the apron and while Bundy and Studd were doubvle teaming Hulk , Orndorff was claiming his eye was hurt...BUT, he got back in and chased off the Heenan guys...THEN...clotheslined Hulk and piledrived him...this led to the fued of the year, which saw them work in front of 76, 000 people in Torontro...they had a cage match on SNME which Hulk won the Legdrop of Dumb ...I still say to this day that Paul shoulda got a run with nthe belt during the fued...maybe Hogan was paranoid that the fans would ditch him for a champ, who could do more than 4 moves, and looked like a serious arsekicker to the fans....Orndorff hurt his arm during the fued but couldnt take time off to get it seen to...his last big show was Survivor 87 as a member of Hogans team were he got eliminated by Ric Rude with a roll up....


I can remember seeing Savage show up on WWF tv and the ongoing nfrenzy among the the managers to sign to a deal BUT he went with Liz and he was almost immediatley over at Casa Del Recky...his stink with Tito for the IC belt was brilliant as well as his casual fueds with Sammartino and George Steele....mind you, I dont think George deserved those title shots at his age...BUT what do I know...


..He was a whirling bloody dervish in the ring and he kept on dropping that briliant  Jay Lethal style elbow on everybody, cant say I was a big fan of his promos EVER...BUT, his ring work was brilliant...his fued with Steamboat and Hogan made a couple of Wrestlemania must see.......He dumped Liz for Sherri and then worked an angle with Hogan and giant goof Zues, culminating at Summerslam 89...Randys stellar work carried on into the 90's ...but thats for later on.



Just after he got smashed up in the dog collar match with Valentine, Roddy headed north to the WWF...he was a manager at first, with Dr D and Orndorf while his ear healed....Vince gave him the Pipers Pit segment and  he took the ball and ran with it...and stirred up Mr T by shaving a midget and smashed a coconut over Snuka's noggin...this led up to the first Wrestlemania main event....He also had a stink with Bruno around this time...His fued with Mr T ( who he didnt like for real) culminated at Wrestlemania 2 in that ridiculous boxing match, Roddy says they taped his thumbs up in the gloves and  he couldnt save himself when he got chucked through the ropes..I dont if that is either here nor there so anyway.




Roddy took a break after Wrestlemania 2 and when he returned to a tv taping, the crowd "POPPED" big time..and shortly after Roddy turned face and began a angle with Adrian Adonis that culminated in the Hair V Hair match at WM 3......Vince also used Pipers Pit to forward the angle between Hogan & Andre....Pipers Pit made an appearance at WM 5 when Roddy hosed down loudmouth shock tv host Morton Downey Jnr with a fire extinguisher....Roddy then joined Gorilla on Primetime and this helped the angle  that Ric Rude was having with the Warrior..Piper interfeared in the match at SummerSlam that coast Rude the IC belt...the angle carried on with Heenan and Roddy which culminated in Piper bashing Heenan senseless and getting sacked from Prime time...this led into the 90s and his fued with Bad News Brown, but later for that one.

...
Ric had a reasonably short stint with Vince in the late 80's, only 4 years (87-90)...BUT....he had some wicked angles while he was there, with Warrior and  Jake Roberts..The warrior one had many fine hitouts the posedown, the match at Summerslam and a couple when when Warrior won the big belt.


..BUT...the fued with Jake Roberts was the classic, started out with Jakes missus slapping the taste out Rudes yap after she knocked him back on some lip action, this annoyed Jake BUT when Rude put Cheryl on his tights, that lit the fuse that only ended when Jake DDT'd him at Survivor Series.......he was gonna have a blue with Bossman and had even started the angle, but left WWF suddenly and spent a year on the Indys and in ECW..which I cant figure out...if someone knows why he split, let me know



Even thought Ted had worked in the WWF in 79..his second run from 87 to 96 was the classic...He came in as the character that Vince always saw himself as ...an arrogant millionaire who thought he could buy anyone...he spent many the interview section and vignette sneering at the middle classes and ripping them off on promised funding... Vignettes included, the manager of a local swimming pool to close for the day so he could have the pool to himself, or when the honeymoon suite in a hotel was already booked, he bribed the desk clerk to have the couple already in there thrown out. Other skits featured DiBiase traveling in limousines, giving $100 tips to waiters, and using $100 bills in convenience stores for small purchases like chewing gum.



. In reality, DiBiase's road travel was deliberately booked for first-class airplane flights and five-star hotel accommodations, and he was given a stipend of petty cash from the WWF Offices so that he could "throw money around" in public ....His first big angle was the attempt to purchase the title from Hogan, which Hogan knocked back and Andre was brought in, he pinned Hogan with some help from the Hebner boys and gave the belt to Ted...this led to the belt being held up and the tournament at Wrestlemania 4 to be run.



He had a minor fued with Hercules after Heenan sold him the contract and he told people that herc was his slave..the fued ended at Survivor Series 89 when he eliminated Herc...then he bought #30 of Akeem at the 89 Rumble but got chucked out by Big John Studd...A little while later after beating The Blue Blazer on SNME he debuted the diamond encrusted Million Dollar belt...and into the 90's Ted travelled with Virgil and a real flash belt.



Fresh from WCCW into WWF came the Dingo Warrior..thankfully Vince changed his name and gave hime some really cool intro music or he woulda been dead in the water, his initial fueds were with Hercules and Dino Bravo...neither of which were wrestling classics as you can imagine.......9 or so months into his run, he answered the Honky Tonk mans open challenge and 26 frenetic seconds later a new IC champ was crowned...



As champ he captained a team at Survivor Series, eliminating Ron Bass and Greg Valentine for his team win...Ric Rude pinned him for the IC belt (with some weaselish assistance) shortly after this BUT Warrior turned it around and took the IC belt back at Summerslam 89....then he had a run with Andre, to get him over as really indestructible, and apparently he wouldnt listen to Andre in the ring so one night the Giant cracked his paint with a straight right, he listened after that...Once again he captained a team at Surivivor versus a Andre captained team, Warrior pinned Arn Anderson and Bobby Heenan to win the match...and into the 90's he charged with the big belt on the horizon

Reckys Rewind: PWG Ten


through the wonders of modern technology ( a blu ray player & my camera phone) may I present a ripper of a card, certainly on par with that of Threemendous III, and we started of with the opportunity  to watch Candice get violated in a PWG ring by former TNA talent, one Mr Joey Ryan



“When Joey Ryan got released from TNA, it was the worst day of Super Dragon’s life,” says Excalibur. Of course, the first thing the returning Joey does is call out Candice. “I’m a changed man Candice, shake my hand,” says he. 


Candice telegraphs Joey’s obvious trick, and elbows him to oblivion instead. She transitions right into a Black Widow, but Joey gets out and punches her straight in the mouth. She comes back with a beautiful rana off of the ropes, which makes Joey get the hell out. Ryan Taylor (booooooooo!) and Willie Mack come in now. Ryan no-sells a shoulderblock, but into a another slightly stern spear, amazingly, Taylor no-sells it again and tags out to Peter Avalon, who is the SCRAWNIEST wrestler I've ever seen, seriously a gale force breeze would snap this asshole,  Avalon thinks he outsmarted B-Boy, and runs RIGHT INTO AN ELBOW that knocks him into a fortnight from now...cudos to him, he can sell brilliantly.  Willie puts all three heels in the triple Tree of Woe, Candice and B-Boy join in for a triple dropkick. 



THEN (and i was fooled momentarily) Ryan Taylor hits some dude in the audience, but he was  a plant. To his credit, the fan sold it perfectly. Candice drops Joey with a stunner, and she tags into Willie Mack, who cleans house. I seriously enjoy Macks work. Willie hits rolling Wastelands and packs all three heels onto his shoulders for a TRIPLE SAMOAN DROP!

 Willie sweeps Ryan Taylor off of the apron, and Joey spears B-Boy through the ropes. WILLIE HELPS CANDICE DIVE DOWN TO RANA JOEY OFF OF THE APRON ONTO EVERYBODY ELSE! TOPE CON HILO FROM WILLIE! 



then came the JOey & Candice spot fest...BOOB-PLEX FROM JOEY! CANDICE DOUBLE STOMPS JOEY TO BREAK UP A NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX! . REVERSE RANA BY CANDICE ON JOEY! BALL-PLEX! TOPE SUICIDA DDT FROM CANDICE! 

some dude who ive since learned was Scott lost hit an Ace Crusher on Ryan Taylor on the ring apron (GOOD, HOPE IT HURT) So that was the “plant”. . CHOCOLATE THUNDER DRIVER ON AVALON! Willie gets the win for his team in 17 minutes. 




Steen and Excalibur on commentary here..Excalibur says that Cage takes more "supplements in a month than steen has took his whole life....

Anthony Nese was replacing Davey Richards here, but I found this a more interesting  match anyway. I haven’t seen much of Nese aside from his cup of coffee in TNA, so I’m looking forward to see if he lives up the hype he was getting over at the Impact zone. Brian Cage needs to lay off the ‘roids though. I hope the steroids part is a joke, because he’s just MASSIVE



Cage is so bulked up that Nese can’t even tie his legs up. Wow, Cage looks fucking horrible in this match. Tony Nese is running circles around him. Nese hits a slick double jump rana, misses a pescado, and Cage drops him off his face on the apron. Cage hits a backbreaker for a two count. Cage looks BLOWN already. Nese dives in for a Lionsault, and a two count. Alabama Slam bomb gets two for Cage. Jesus, what happened to the Cage that was, ya know, a the fucking machine? he’s this bad here, I cant imagine how he woulda gone in the Richards match



! He finds the juice (hehe, pardon the pun) for a moonsault, but misses. NESE WITH A HUGE RUNNING BACKFLIP OUT TO THE FLOOR!  “Do you think his archrival in high-school was James Nephew?” says Excalibur, and Steen cracks up after taking a few moments to figure it out. CAGE CATCHES NESE IN MID-AIR WITH A BRAINBUSTER! TWO COUNT! and he BRAINS NEESE WITH A DISCUS LARIAT! 


Cage picks up the win with Weapon X in 13 minutes. They did just enough to ease into three star territory, but I’m worried about where Brian Cage is going. He’s sacrificing endurance for muscle, and it’s showing in his performance pretty blatantly, so much that Kevin Steen and Excalibur were eluding to it on commentary. I’m all for a good physique on a wrestler, because it seems more professional, but there’s pretty obviously a limit. 



I’m all for Forever Hooligans ....BUT...i'm cant really stand the Rocknes Monsters..and thus the match done almost nothing for me

Romero drops Goodtime with a dropkick early on. Romero tosses Goodtime by his beard and dropkicks him in the head again for a two count. Koslov tags in and splashes Goodtime for a two count. Romero does his little “hogging the spotlight” deal, and they start fighting again, but guess what? They hug it out! Hilarious, The Monsters take control with some awesome hokey punches to Romero’s back.. 


The Hooligans go for the Contract Killer, but Yuma stops it and Goodtime DVD’s his partner on top of Koslov for a two count. Yuma EATS a jumping knee from Romero, who runs right into a facebuster from Goodtime…who turns right into a Koslov knee. DOUBLE STOMP TO ROMERO’S HEAD FROM GOODTIME! PLANCHA! SEX FACTOR FROM YUMA! NEARFALL! Mushroom Stomp scores, and Explosive Amnesia hits…


for TWO! CONTRACT KILLER! KOSLOV DIVES ONTO GOODTIME! Yuma stays down for three in 16 minutes...like i said, dont like the Monsters ..but they done good



Also known as murder, except without the criminal implications...ROFL.....Fox gets a taste of what he's in for, but gets cocky. Fox tries to use his speed to get the upperhand, but Elgin shakes off a dropkick and plants Fox down with a shoulderblock. He uses that to take control. Fox gets out of the vertical suplex and uses everything he can to get control himself. Fox does a ridiculous "look at me jumping thing" Chris Hero style, but DIVES TO THE FLOOR WITH AN IMPLODING SENTON! Fox looks for his legdrop, but Elgin moves. Fox dives out for a tope suicida, but ELGIN CATCHES HIM AND GIVES HIM A BLACK HOLE SLAM ON THE FLOOR! Elgin now hoists Fox up for the vertical suplex for a good minute and a half, complete with showboating for a two count. 



Fox drops a leg on an apron-prone Elgin, but only gets two. HELLEVATOR FROM ELGIN! Fox powers out at 2. Deadlift German gets Elgin another nearfall, because AR Fox is stupid. Shiranui misses for Fox, who eats a heabutt. I like him and all, but Fox has NO fire in his strikes at all. Like, it's crazy how little he puts into it. Unless he's selling fatigue, then more power to him. I highly doubt that though, because HE JUST DID A RICOCHET DIVE OVER THE RINGPOST! SPINNING DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Elgin kicks out. 



DEADLIFT FALCON ARROW! HOLY SHIT! FOX KICKS OUT~! Good selling surprise by Elgin there. Not something you see from him much. Things head out to the apron, where FOX HITS A SHIRANUI ON THE APRON! 450 SPLASH SCORES! ELGIN KICKS OUT! Wow, that was beautiful.  BUCKLE BOMB...



FOX COUNTERS AN ELGIN BOMB INTO A REVERSE RANA! Elgin MURDERS FOX WITH TWO STIFF BACKFISTS! IMPLODING ELGIN BOMB!~! Elgin finally picks up the win in an AWESOME 20 minutes.  Elgin is just a scary talent at this point, racking up showstealers in every match he's in. This one was no different, especially considering he basically had a breathing ragdoll to work with. 



I wasn't sure what to think about this match,  I'm not a big fan of Kendrick EVER  other three are in the same bag as Brian, doing nothing for me . That's not to say Kendrick isn't good or anything like that, I just don't find him all that entertaining. Different strokes for different folks. 

Things start off hot and heavy with a CHICKEN FIGHT FEELING OUT PROCESS! Just when you thought the RockNES/FIST sequence on the apron back in March couldn't be topped, here you go. CHICKEN FIGHT SHOULDERTACKLE knocks Kendrick on his neck..."We just witnessed the hardest bump off of a shoulderblock ever," says color commentator Rick Knox.



 Both Gargano and Taylor bail and find themsleves dropped by stereo tope suicidas! They try it again, but eat spears. A Chuckie T. dropkick gets two on Kendrick. TOPE CON HILO FROM CHUCKIE! London drops Gargano with a dropsault and DIVES DOWN ON TAYLOR AND GARGANO WITH A DOUBLE STOMP! 450 FROM KENDRICK! LONDON STAR PRESS! GARGANO BREAKS IT UP! HURTS DONUT FROM GARGANO! London kicks out. London DROPS Chuckie with a Bicycle Kick, but eats chair when he tries to capitalize with a pescado. CHUCK TAYLOR CATCHES KENDRICK OFF OF SLICED BREAD #2 AND HITS THE RAZOR'S EDGE/CUTTER! 17 minutes later, Gargano and Taylor pick up the win.


Ya know, since Perkins has impressed me lately in ROH & TNA,  I'll be optimistic here, because if anyone can drag something awesome out of Chris Sabin, you deserve the benefit of the doubt.

It's faux-MMA city, but they pull off some pretty sweet counters. These guys are pulling off some wicked shit ...I won't excuse the many doofuses chanting "This is Wrestling" when that's literally what they've been watching for the last hour-and-a-half. TJ eats it on a drop toehold, but Kyle is all over him. 



Now a "We Love Wrestling" chant starts up. I'll let that one slide because it's a compliment I guess. Kyle punts TJ in the back, and TJP doesn't like it all that much. Kyle jumps with a knee and hits a running paintbrush slap.  TJ fakes Kyle out on a dropkick and slaps him, for a two count. Kyle pulls off a beautiful snap suplex, with TJ's arm stuck behind him. TJ either botches something horribly or has a good sense of psychology by having his arm give out on a springboard. I'm just glad they didn't repeat the spot.  Kyle puts in a guillotine, but TJ eventually turns around into a Kimura. Detonation Kick...


INTO A JAWBREAKER LARIAT FROM O'REILLY! SITOUT POWERBOMB FROM TJP! TWO COUNT...COUNTERED INTO A TRIANGLE! ANKLE LOCK FROM TJ! SMALL PACKAGE! Kyle kicks out. TRIANGLE FROM KYLE! RUNNING PUNT TO THE CHEST! TWO COUNT! SNAP REGALPLEX! TJ KICKS OUT AGAIN! TIGER GUTBUSTER FROM TJ! KYLE KICKS OUT! That's his finisher in TNA. 


O'Reilly looks for a super Regalplex, but TJ knocks him down. Kyle looks for it again and COUNTERS INTO A POWERBOMB! 450 EATS KNEES! STOMP, ELBOW, BRAINBUSTER! TJ KICKS OUT AGAIN! CROSS ARMBREAKER! TJP taps in 21 minutes.....Forgetting the fact that they basically forgot the armwork (TJ still sold it, but not enough that it mattered), this was fantastic. 


Yep, Drake Younger  As long as he doesn't staple shit to people, I'm cool with it. It's insane how likeable the dude is, though. As Kevin Steen says, he's a ray of sunshine 



Cole wastes no time telling everyone to suck his dick, and that earns him a double asskicking. Steen shoves Cole's head in his groin area, and gives a little bow to round it off. Cole takes the honorary ass-kicking. Cole and Drake go at it in the ring, but Cole chucks the Psycho Shooter bringing the wrath of Kevin Steen. Cole fakes a a dive by trying to sit in a chair, but the chair BREAKS and DRAKE BUMRUSHES COLE WITH A TRAFFIC CONE! HE DROPS HIM DICK FIRST ON IT! Drake starts waffling bitches with a garbage can and BACK SUPLEXES COLE ON TOP OF IT! Drake wraps his head in the trashcan and BRAINS HIM WITH A CHAIR!


 Steen comes in and BRAINS DRAKE! CANNONBALL  Steen drops Younger with a pumphandle neckbreaker. Drake remarkably hits a Magnum Driver on Steen, but only gets two. Drake sets two chairs on their side and tries to do something to Steen, but Cole comes in and DEATH VALLEY DRIVES Drake on the chairs! Younger sets a table up and GIVES HIM A GORDBUSTER ON THE EDGE! 



Drake brains Cole with a lariat after the champ disposes of Steen, and KILLS HIM WITH A STRAIGHT-JACKET PILEDRIVER! Cole avoids Drake's Landing through a table and GIVES HIM A PANAMA SUNRISE ON THE TABLE! STEEN HITS A POWERBOMB ON THE APRON! Younger kicks out...! 



Steen sets some chairs all nicely together...and GIVES DRAKE A PACKAGE PILEDRIVER THROUGH THEM! Cole tries to steal the pin, but Steen saves! Cole superkicks Steen,  Cole looks for the Panama Sunrise but STEEN MURDERS HIM WITH A TURNBUCKLE BRAINBUSTER! Drake pulls Steen out and goes for the cover, but COLE STEALS IT WITH A CRUCIFIX in 18 minutes. ... 



Steen wasn't as big an entity, but he did a good job being the big bastard that wrecks shit for the fun of it. Another four star match in a line of them for this show.



AINT NO PARTY LIKE A SUPERKICK PARTY !...yeh, I know I say that all the time..but the boys usually erupt with flurries of superkicks....



Everyone takes turns shallacking Matt Jackson with a random assortment of strikes and backbreakers. The Bucks take control over everyone in crazy fashion. The Machine Guns hit stereo SSP's on the Bucks, but the DojoBros come in and splash the Machine Guns on top of the Bucks themselves. DojoBros look for a ladder, but everyone distracts them and THE MACHINE GUNS DIVE OUT WITH STEREO TOPE CON HILOS! Ricochet sets a ladder up in the ring, and RODDY GETS BACKDROPPED ON IT! LADDER RUN SENTON FROM NICK ON TOP OF EVERYONE ELSE!



 The Bucks get an enormous ladder that doesn't even look healthy to touch, let alone kill people with. Matt hilariously does the back handspring, climbs the ladder, and rakes Rich Swann's back. Swann superkicks Matt as he drags him off of the big ladder, but Nick takes care of him. Nick thinks he's going to do his little ladder push, springboard thing but Swann ends him crotching him instead. Swann hits the Lethal Injection as Steen cracks up over Rich Swann apparently being a black Chris Jericho. 



RODDY GIVES NICK A BACKBREAKER ON THE LADDER! SWANN DIVES OVER DOJOBROS AND FROG SPLASHES NICK! Ricochet sets up the big ladder, but Matt PUSHES HIM INTO A FUCKING ASAI MOONSAULT! MATT RAGDOLLS RICH INTO A LADDER! RICOCHET EATS A BUCKLE BOMB ON THE LADDER! Nick sets a table up on the floor as Matt climbs a smaller ladder for the belts, but Roddy and Eddie stop all that shit. 



DEATH BY RODERICK! LARIAT FROM EDDIE! END OF HEARTACHE! DOUBLE STOMP FROM EDDIE! Eddie puts Swann in the Achilles Lock, but RICOCHET CATCHES RODDY WITH A CUTTER OFF THE LADDER! Ricochet sets up the big ladder by the corner and DIVES THROUGH IT TO GIVE RODDY A SWINGING DDT! HE DIVES UNDER IT TO THE OUTSIDE!



 NICK GIVES RICH SWANN A SUNSET POWERBOMB THROUGH THE TABLES! Ricochet is the last one standing, until the Bucks come in and HIT A FUCKING TANDEM TOMBSTONE FROM THE TOP OF THE LADDER! 



DojoBros now stops the Bucks but TRADE INSANE STRIKES! RODDY BRAINS NICK WITH A KNEE! Swann is somehow able to get into the ring, but can hardly stand. Swann tries to climb up, but THE DOJOBROS HIT A DOUBLESTOMP/POWERBOMB! The Bucks hit him low and get the belts in 20 minute of insanity.



Match was filled with death-defying shit that you probably aren't going to see anywhere else, and that's why we all love PWG. What better way to celebrate your tenth year of existence than putting on something that is strictly going to be a PWG product... Bring on the next ten years, says I.
