----I have only five of the seven or eight matches of the show. Good way to promote a big show; huh?? I have really enjoyed most of the storylines in NBW throughout the year, but right now I am a bit pessimistic on what they will deliver for “Legacy II”. A “big show” is suppose to be the blow off of all the hot angles and start of some new ones; right?? This is not going to be accomplished here, because four of the top five matches are all just the start of the feuds and the main event is a gimmick match to bring in Eugene. Let’s take a look at what I got..
*Chris Rocker vs Phoenix X. This feud just started last week with X spraying the mist in Rockers’ eyes. Rocker may be the perfect opponent for X – in that Rocker will not make him look tiny and X will not make Rocker look small. Rocker will also be able to slow X down and have an actual wrestling match. Could be a real good match. Finish involves some kind of screw job to continue the feud.
*Jeremy Moore/Shannon Lee vs. "The Posse". This version of the “Posse” is Simon and Shawn Reed. I had to edit that from the original report. “Posse” gimmick is so babyface, unless they totally change what they are doing. Moore and Lee would not be my pick as a good babyface team to wrestle again them either. This angle could totally backfire in Moore’s face and more fans could start booing him. I mean really – who would you cheer??? “Posse” over to continue the feud. “Big Boss” might be revealed.
*Fans Bring The Weapons: Motley Cruz vs. Danny B. Goode. NBW has been guilty of just presenting too many gimmick matches at the big shows with wrestlers that can actually wrestle. I would love for Cruz to refuse the match and just have him/Danny wrestle. Cruz needs to go over if it is Hardcore and leave Goode lying to continue the feud. It will be a good match no matter what kind of match it is.
*NBW Tag Title Match: BLS vs. S.O.B. Two of the best tag teams in the area. Kilo was the star of the last NBW big show, it will be interesting to see him in with Robbie/Void. Douglas has continued to improve and it could be just fun in the ring with guys like Mark/Kilo – who are two of the easiest guys to hate in the area. BLS should be totally over as faces and crowd should go crazy for a title change. Not sure if that will happen, but I am looking forward to this match.
*Eugene vs Seth Knight. Knight has proven he can work and has been here now for awhile. He is one of the most underrated in the area and this match could be off the charts. Nick Dinsmore is probably one of the overall better wrestlers to come out of the OVW school – he was actually training guys that were “stepping over” him to get spots in the WWE. Whether we get just comedy with Eugene or Nick actually works will determine if this match is good or not. I would put Knight over as he is the NBW champion and as a rule the one that is “staying” [there every week] should get the win. A Dusty finish with a restart would not even hurt it, if the match is real good.
----As stated rest of the card has not been announced and I hope it is not 2 or 3 gimmick matches. Tim Edwards, who has been featured in the main event the last two weeks, is not even listed here. Neither is Chris O’Neal, but I think O’Neal is gone because of his shoot job or something. All matches listed should be above average with the exception of Moore/Lee vs “Posse”, but it can be good just to hear the fan reaction.
