TIWF TV Report 8.02.07 by the Rambling Critic

Show opened with Jon Seymore and Wildside sitting at the desk. Seymore talks about holding up all the TIWF titles and tells that in the show there would be a TV title match and matches from the TIWF title tourney. But first why is the TIWF title held up?

MATCH # 1
TIWF Regional Heavyweight Title Match
P.K. Ripper vs Way Cool (c)

In this match the camera went black about 6 times. And the match was edited twice. Basic spotfest match with the problem being that they botched too many spots and got blown up quick. Hotrod stated during the match that with the TIWF title came millions of dollars. MILLIONS....where do I sign for a match? Finish had a ref bump with a german suplex double pin. Title gets held up by Seymore. 2 Stars. This match had MAYBE 15 people watching.

MATCH # 2
Title Tourney Match
Big Boy Bob w/Steven Rampage vs Johnny Thunder

The less said about this match the better. Match was edited four times. Basic big vs big match. Johnny Thunder wins with a big splash. 1 Star cause I was surprised by the finish. Taped on a different day, this match had about 35 people watching.

MATCH # 3
Title Tourney Match
Moondog Rex vs Wyked

First thing I noticed was that Wyked works to the wrong side. This match was a total squash match with Moondog winning with a spear....yes a spear. 1/2 Star. Same crowd as before with about 35.

DANCE OFF
Boogeyman vs Wyked

Wyked attacks Boogeyman and Lawman Williams makes the save. Wyked hits Lawman with powder and so Jonathon Storm makes the save. Announce the formation of Law and Order.

MATCH # 4
Triple Treat Tag
Azreal & Kraven Hunter vs Brimstone & J.R. Rich vs Law and Order

Again they don't use spellcheck. The screen said that Law and Order consisted of Lawman Williams and J.R. Rich. WTF? Kraven Hunter is now in a mask, last week he was in Spellbinderish face paint. BTW, the mask is baby blue....not the best choice. Couldn't tell if Brimstone and J.R. were Babys of Heels. Finish had Kraven taking a Doomsday Device from Lawman (holder) and Storm (flyer). 2 Stars, mostly for the Doomsday Device. Again 35 in crowd. Also, J.R. Rich should NEVER do a leg drop again, it looked horrible, like he was scared of the butt-bump.

MATCH # 5
Battle Royal for the JEA 6 TV Title

Kraven Hunter thrown out by Johnny Thunder, Weasel by Azreal (although he went through the ropes), Wyked by J.R. Rich, J.R. by Spyder, Azreal by Spyder, Johnny Thunder by Spyder. Spyder pulled down the rope and Thunder flew over. Funny / Scary part in the match had Azreal and Thunder spear each other at the same time....MISCOMMUNICATION. Spyder is sorta doing a Fit Finley gimmick and I love it. Spyder has gotten SO MUCH better than he used to be. Since I am a fan of battle royals....3 Stars. But again they edited the match. But I really do like the Fit Finley gimmick.

Notes

They had some commercials this week. The commercial was for the live show and for the website. Wildside was still in gimmick behind the desk. Wildside was REALLY GOOD on the mike. Seymore was better than last week but still nowhere in Wildside's league. Way Cool was suspended two weeks for attacking P.K. Ripper after their match. Most of the wrestlers on the show wore pants and t-shirts. GET GEAR. Please GET GEAR. Overall a better show than the last but they need to get the glitches gone and have their workers LOOK LIKE wrestlers and not some bums from wal-mart.
