Show officially begins:
ACH vs. John Morrison
Lucha chants....Johnny Mundo chants. Back and forth, hands in the air, for crowd
support. ACH goes for a handshake, yelling sportsmanship, steps on JM's
toe,,,and mocks his pain with a dance ACH draws a line...they then run the
ropes and do some lucha style back and forth. First offense goes to
Morrison ....ACH stops it with killer drop kick. Morrison with jumping
kick to the face off the second rope. Punches in the corner. The crowd
counts in Spanish. Morrison to the floor....ACH kicks Morrison's head off
and chops away what's left! Goes to the top rope and misses a big splash in the
ring. Morrison gets a 2 count. They tie up....Morrison into the ropes
caught in a sleeper. It breaks. They hit the ropes and hit double clothes lines.
They each get a two count on each other one at a time. Going blow for
blow. ACH double chops Morrisons chest HARD. Morrison hits the ropes and hits
three clotheslines. Then a running knee to the face for a two count. Goes for
Starship Pain and gets rolled up for two, then stomped into the corner. ACH
becomes Stone Cold ACH hits a Thez press into some of Austins moves. Can't pull
off the stunner. Morrison goes for sweet chin music, stomping included.
ACH catches his foot, kick to the stomach and hits a stunner for a close 2
count, Morrison kicks out......hits a super kick, then starship pain for the 3
count.
He offers his hand to ACH and they hug. Crowd chants that was awesome! It was
hard hitting, high flying, competitive, and most of all, FUN. Great stuff!
Man Scout, Jake Manning vs. Your Teacher, Matt Striker.
This is my first time seeing the Man Scout character after hearing about it
for a while. Crowd asks "Where's our cookies?"
Striker with a single leg takedown into a roll up. Fan yells
"Stick to commentary Striker!" Striker stops the match, calls the guy a jerk
off, says he loves commentary, but wrestling is his first love. Tells the guy to
get in the ring to fight. Striker says the guy looks like Bill Demott's
Abortion, then does a suck it with the crowd. Manning stalls by referring
to the Scout's manual. They go to tie up.....Striker kicks him, sets him up for
a pedigree, says "f**k you" to the heckler in the crowd, hits the
pedigree.....for the 3 count. Not much of a match, but Striker made it
fun.
Zane Reily & Caleb Konley, The Worlds' Dudest Tag Team. vs. Joey Ryan &
Candice LaRae, World's Cutest Tag Team.
Zane is cross dressing to look like Candice and gets his bra ripped
off, and a t**ty twister for his troubles. Konley, dressed like Joey Ryan, gets
his fake mustache ripped off. Candace tagged in, tries to slam Zane,
but can't. Ryan comes in and team up for a double slam. Crowd songs "I
want Candace" to the tune of Bow Wow Wow's I Want Candy. She comes off the
top rope with a hurancanrana .....then into the Black Widow. She then hits
another rana to the floor...gets a holy sh** chant. An off the top top DDT...2
count. She then hits a flying headbutt to the floor. Another holy sh** chant.
I can't keep up. A crazy double suplex from the corner pops the crowd into
another holy sh**. This is my first time seeing Candice and I'm really
impressed. She's kicking ass, but then gets nearly KO'd by a punch.
The match ends with a reverse hurancanana by Candace.....who SPIKES the dude's
head into the Matt. She gets the three count. Crowd chants HOLLYWOOD!
Crazy set of moves and fun stuff, Everyone was good in this, but Candice was
amazing.
Cedric Alexander vs. Brian Kendrick
It starts with a handshake. They start slow. Some monkey flips.
Backflips....Alexander hits a big power move....not sure of the name. It was a
like a one man 3D. Except a slam instead of the cutter. Alexander hits some
stuff kicks in the corner. Kendrick hits Sliced Bread #2 For a two count,
Alexander blocks a flying DDT off the top rope from Kendrick and turns it into a
suplex. AWESOME. Alexander misses a frog splash. A couple of roll ups. Kendrick
somehow got the win. Crowd was lukewarm on the finish, but they got a nice
reaction on the way out. Crowd seemed to be more behind Alexander.
Triple Threat Match: Jack Evans vs. Aerostar vs. Andrew Everett
Three way tie up. Ok....I'm out. There is a lot happening, and I can't type that
fast. Jack Evans hits a double foot stop on Aerostar, for a two
count. Aerostar hits Jack Evans with the Candian Destroyer off the top
rope and gets the three count, but the finish seemed to confuse everyone. Ref
counted three. Evans then popped up his shoulder. Everyone looked around, and
that was it. They all embraced and raised hands. Crowd chanted that was Awesome.
It's the first time I've disagreed with the crowd. Evans was crisp, the other
guy was really good, but Aerostar seemed to be working at a slower pace than
everyone else. I felt it threw off the pace of the match.
Chris Hero out as a captain for a 10 man tag match. It's a 12 man match as per
Hero's request......team one....Chris Hero....Drew Gulak....Tommaso
Ciampa......Bryan Myers..... James Storm and Abyss! This looks like a
battle royal.
Next team captain....Colt Cabana! His team....Colt Cabana.....and.....Big
Zeke........Matt Sydal.......Tommy Dreamer.....and Bubba...Devon....Team 3D!
The Place is going nuts. Bubba grabs a camera and turns it to the crowd! The
crowd chants Wrestlecon. Sydal does a handstand. Bubba comes in and does a
slow, but steady headstand. Crowd chanted Holy sh**. Dreamer gets tagged
in. So does Hero. They start playing to the crowd by showing off some moves of
agility. Hero some impressive kip ups. Dreamer tries and fails......and
again....then needs help from both Hero and the Ref to do the kip up. Crowd pops
huge for it. Dreamer looks exhausted and tags out. Cabana
comes in and I'm comes Gulak. They do some comedy spots.
Ciampa tags in and gets in Bubbas face and challenges him to get in the ring.
Bully and Ciampa go face to face. Trade punches. Stiff slaps. Ciampa hits a
running knee to the downed bubba in the corner, Bubba pops up and hits a boot to
the face. Devon tags in, Ciampa to the ropes, double team leg drop.
James Storm in then Big Zeke......then Abyss goes for the choke slam, but is
blocked with an elbow. Dreamer is back and hits an Avalanche on Abyss.
Dreamer gets knocked to the floor and crouched on the rail by James Storm.
Dreamer is getting triple.....no...Dreamer is getting beat down by all six
members of the other team and the ref is holding back his partners! There is NO
JUSTICE for team Cabana at Wrestlecon!
Hero back in. The Dreamer beatdown continues.. Ciampa in and mocks
Dreamer's pose and yells E C W! Hero back in with a stiff kick to the
face, then another. Dreamer fights back hits a big clothesline. Followed by a
punch or elbow that takes Dreamer down. Tommy fight back and tags in
Devon.....in comes Gulak. Cabana tags in. Goes for the Dusty elbow, but Bubba
jumps in front and hits the elbow. Colt then holds the legs for Wazzup headbutt.
Roderick Strong and the Legion of Boom. Kazarian and Daniels. Dressed as the Legion of Doom! vs. All Night Long....AR Fox and Ricochet. And.....Jushin Thunder Liger!
AR Fox did some crazy acrobatics before taking down Roderick with a bulldog.
Liger and Daniels go back and forth. Liger hits Daniels with a piledriver
I don't know what AR Fox hit all three opponents with, but it was awesome reverse dive to the floor.
Ricochet hits the People's Moonsault.
Roderick Strong makes it look real.
Ricochet is amazing.
AR Fox looks like he's working attached to wires in the ceiling.
As expected, Liger moves slower than he once did, but that's the least shocking thing to point out. The man is a legend and was able to pull out a big spot when needed.
Daniels and Kazarian are so polished it's not funny.
Liger pins Daniels with the BRAINBUSTER!
Matt & Jeff Hardy vs. Rob Van Dam and Sabu
They announced the match was now a no DQ, no countout, old school Extreme Rules
match. They are doing all the classic spots. Chairs come into play.
Then Matt Hardy brings out a ladder. Jeff had to improvise a ladder spot because
of the low ceilings in the venue. RVD and Sabu hit Rolling Thunder twice. Once
on each Hardy. Either Matt is busted open and bled on RVD, or they are both
busted opened. A table is slid into the ring. More chairs are thrown
in by Sabu's genie. Yes, he has a genie (former WWE developmental talent Melissa
Coates). Matt is set up on the table and Sabu dropped a leg with a chair
and killed Matt. RVD is bleeding heavier out of his head. Sabu
gets a smaller table. And Jeff is going on it and through it! I think the Hardys
are dead. Wait, they are back up, amd have reversed things. Matt misses a
moonsault on Sabu. Jeff goes for the Swanton, but Sabu gets his knees up. RVD
hits the five star frog splash for the three count on Jeff!
In the end, they all embrace and pose together.
