Beyond Wrestling - Flesh
Pre-game:
*I like the showing of what happened at EVOLVE 64 to get people to buy tonight's EVOLVE 65 show.
*Show starting pretty much right on time, yes. I like punctuality.
*Finally they remembered to turn off the backing music.
Match 1: Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Jonathan Gresham
*Announcing there there is going to be three matches in this series, already tells me what the outcome of this match is.
*This venue that they are wrestling in seems really really interesting.
*Commentary already hyping a Lufisto beating of Veda Scott. I'm rooting for Veda.
*I always like how people surround the ring, but I don't know if I'd ever want to stand through the whole show. I'd probably purchase a seat.
*One of the guys around the ring has a WCW Monday Night Jericho shirt, good job guy you have one of the best shirts.
*Just a bunch of real technical boys going at it. And going at it back and forth.
*I didn't catch who the second guy on commentary was right now, but his line about "Do I still get paid if I don't wrestle cracked me up"
*Sabre just threw a real nasty European uppercut.
*I like how both of these competitors can just turn on the speed and hard strikes at any point.
*Commentary also doing a marvelous job of making sure you know that Americanrana is going to be a huge event.
*Gresham taking a huge shot to his nose. Ouch.
*This segment where they are just trading kicks and shots is really really cool.
*These guys just really want to beat the shit out of each other in a lot of ways. Gresham looks like he came to steal the show tonight.
*That top rope hurricanrana roll up back and forth segment was awesome. Crowd rightly cheering hard for it.
*Will we see a draw? I guess that's a possibility that I didn't even consider.
*I like this part where Sabre is just scooting closer to Gresham on his booty. And now they are going to just slap each other whilst sitting down.
*I really like the fact that these guys seem to targeting specific areas of their opponents' bodies.
*Gresham locks Sabre into a sweet Octopus hold in the middle of the ring. Sabre tries to power out, but Gresham wins.
*The other guy on commentary was Brian Fury by the way.
*Sabre doesn't take the win in a good way. He is a poor poor sport. Hyping a two out of three falls match for the two.
Match 2: Veda Scott vs. Lufisto
*Kimber Lee joining on commentary.
*I like the title graphics that Beyond has for their introductions. Crowd is heavily into Lufisto.
*Veda begins the match by berating Lufistio who answers by throw huge shots at her.
*Lufisto just wants to wreck/destroy Veda Scott. And now she is just kind of toying with Veda.
*"Not going to call that one" - You mean where Lufisto smacked Veda in her lady parts?
*Veda's strikes aren't the most convincing. She needs to lay into them a bit more.
*Veda is so so good at character work/playing a heel.
*Veda gets powerbombed into the apron by Lufisto, ouch.
*Lufisto gets Veda back into the ring and has all the momentum. Just hitting moves left and right, but there is no quit to Veda Scott.
*Scott is so resilient and determined. I love it.
*Unsurprisingly, Lufisto manages to get the victory over Veda Scott. Match ends with a Burning Hammer.
*I want to see more Women's Wrestling Revolution matches and/or shows.
Match 3: Team Pazuzu (EYFBO [Mike Draztik & Angel Ortiz] & Jaka) vs. Team TFT4 (Da Hit Squad [Danny "Mafia" Maff & Steve "Monstaî Mack"] & Brian Fury)
*Tracy Williams on commentary for this one.
*Pazuzu having a pretty fun entrance going on.
*Two dad looking dudes who you don't want to encounter. Love how Tracy Williams describes the Hit Squad.
*"Jaka has trimmed down quite a bit in the past few months" - Yes, yes he has.
*I like how Da Hit Squad shirts are just the Grand Theft Auto font.
*I wish Da Hit Squad went without the shirts...
*I like Brian Fury's look. Just saying.
*DA HIT Squad wears shirts, but also their gear should cover their bellies. Why am I so confused by their ring gear choices?
*The Penguin Splash is the silliest and also the coolest of moves.
*It feels like Fury hasn't been in this match at all. Come on, get that boy in there Da Hit Squad.
*Mike Draztik hitting both the big boys and taking them out at once.
*They are running Catch Point try out matches on EVOLVE - that's interesting, I suppose.
*Brian Fury throwing on a sweet double Boston crab, that's a cool spot.
*Pazuzu with a sweet double team move on Monstai Mack. Saved by Maff getting in the ring.
*How old are Da Hit Squad? Because they are going for some pretty crazy stuff.
*Ending seemed a bit rushed, but I'm glad that Team Pazuzu won.
*Also - when did Team Pazuzu get so cool? I remember not liking them when I saw them in ECW.
*So the Crusade for Change is just rushing DA HIT SQUAD. Oh my goodness.
*The facepaint that the Crusade for Change uses is pretty silly.
Match 4: Chris Dickinson vs. Pinkie Sanchez
*I have no clue when Pinkie Sanchez went so crazy/awesome.
*Also, I'm in love with Chris Dickinson's theme song.
*I didn't catch who was on commentary in this match. It's somebody from Team Pazuzu, but I do not know who it is.
*Chris Dickinson's booty tends to hang out of his briefs every so often. That's always an interesting thing to notice.
*Pinkie Sanchez has impressive/beautiful hair.
*"FEED ON THE FLESH OF PAZUZU" - this guy on commentary is crushing it. Ok - I finally caught that it was Jaka. Jaka is frigging cool.
*Production crew audio bleed in is always cracking me up.
*"If there is anybody in that group who has a soul, it's that guy right there, the long hair one"
*Why is Jaka's commentary stealing the show for me? Is it the best thing of this show so far? Probably not, but it's highly entertaining.
*Dickinson gets the victory, holla.
*Oh hey Jaka showing mad love to Pinkie. Just let him back into Pazuzu.
Match 5: JT Dunn vs. Kimber Lee
*Sweet we get the Dirty Daddy on commentary.
*I'm all about Kimber Lee right here.
*In less than a minute of commentary, Dickinson already made a reference to WCW/NWO Revenge. So money.
*So there is a ref storyline apparently int his match, and I don't know if this is a ref who is in favor of JT Dunn or against him.
*"I remember the one time I smacked Kim so hard the day after show I went to confession" 5 seconds passes... "I"m just kidding"
*Kimber Lee has dance experience? Hmm.. what do they mean by that.
*Such an awesome segment where Kimber Lee hits like 5 suplexes onto JT Dunn.
*Hahahaha. Team HBK - Hard Body Karate. Please.
*Also Dirty Daddy is asking if Kimber Lee is on what Brock Lesnar got popped for.
*They are just letting Kimber destroy this fool. And suplex the hell out of him.
*This match is brutal, Kimber Lee has hit like 20 suplexes and now they are just trading hard shots.
*JT Dunn's trunk colors/panty colors are pretty legit.
*This match is cool, intergender wrestling is cool. More or less.
*JT Dunn tries to get into a confrontation with the fat ref (sorry I don't know your name), which allows to Kimber Lee taking advantage of that. She gets the roll up and wins the match.
*Uhh, Dickinson saying that you have the same birthday as Hulk Hogan isn't cool. "I got the same birthday as Hulk Hogan so you can kiss my ass" - Nope.
*The scheduling for Beyond is interesting.. Idk. 2 weeks from now seems like a quick time to run your big show.
*Crowd is all about Ciampa's last match in the promotion.
Match 6: Tommaso Ciampa vs. Matthew Riddle
*Ciampa getting such a dope entrance. "A professional wrestler with professional wrestling boots" - among other things.
*Oh dang we got Sabre Jr. on commentary too. Let's see how he works in this scenaro.
*I like Ciampa's asthetic, can't wait to see this boy in NXT.
*They do a real good job at selling Riddle's inexperience.
*"OOOH IN THE NECK" - That's a shrill commentary mark.
*Ciampa gives no fucks and is just like whatever Riddle, kick me.
*I like that Riddle still rocks the UFC trunks.
*Ciampa and Riddle both look so good int his match.
*I like that Riddle went for a tombstone in this match.
*Oh shoot, Riddle wins off a submission move. Didn't expect that would be how Ciampa goes out.
*Catch Point gets into the ring and hugs Riddle which I guess means he will be the next Catch Point member. (Yep)
*Team Pazuzu crashing the end of the show.
Additional notes:
*Rich Palladino seems like a pretty good announcer/cool guy.
*I like how every once in awhile the mics get audio pick up from somebody in the crowd or somebody on production and it's always really really funny.
*Denver Colorado is really good at his job/commentary.
*What does Pazuzu even mean anyway?
*Beyond is doing such a good job of hyping up their future events though.
