I was glad Edwards and Dreamer won, though. Still, with the next two matches on the card being planned multi-man hardcore matches, I don’t really feel like we needed to watch these four guys beat the hell out of each other too. He may have never been a great wrestler, but he’s an excellent Hardcore Dad. I’m pretty sure nobody really minds when he shows up, at least I know I don’t. Heel Moose is where it’s at.Īnd of course, Tommy Dreamer was here too. He gave a great calmly menacing promo early in the show, and the African outfit he wore for that and the main event looked great on him, as did his gear for this match.

Going from a singles match between Eddie and Moose to a DQ because Kross attacked Eddie, to a sanctioned tag match felt like much more of a free TV thing than a PPV thing, but whatever.Īs of this show, I feel like Moose has really gotten it together as a heel. This whole thing was a bit of a mess, which admittedly it kind of had to be considering who was involved and what the story had been so far. I’m sure there’s a lot more to this feud, and I’m pretty here for it. Also, I don’t know if it was deliberate on Swann’s part or just a natural occurrence, but that shot of him dazed with visible spittle in his beard really sold the legitimacy of the match for me. Not to mention that his high-flying is always fun, and he and Willie Mack go great together. I may not personally like him, but I can acknowledge that he makes a great Face in Peril. Rich Swann was great in this match as well. He does seem like a perfect partner/sidekick for Matt Sydal, with a similar pompous energy, but a totally different look and move set. I liked what I saw here, but I’m going to need to see more to be fully won over. I’ve heard a lot about him, but he’s mostly wrestled for companies I don’t watch regularly, so he’s new to me. Oh, and he can dance a bit too.Įthan Page, on the other hand, I don’t really know prior to this. I’m not saying he’s on that level, but just in terms of the specific brand of charisma, physicality, and blue-collar realness he brings to the table. In fact, of everyone wrestling today, I think he’s the most reminiscent of Dusty Rhodes. Mack also has a great working class hero vibe to him that makes him a fantastically resonant babyface. I like a big thick charismatic dude who can really move in the ring. As I’ve mentioned before, I really love Willie Mack. Not particularly consequential, but lots of exciting spots, and it gives a spotlight to two new guys.
