----Jason Hall opens the show holding IWA United States Title. The audio does seem to be better.
----“Big CA” Carnage Antwane comes out for an interview. Audio was much clearer. Not bad interview from Antwane. He challenges The A.N.T. [Amazing Natural Talent]. Ant comes to accept the challenge. Dre Black then comes out and says he will be tagging with Antwane. Armageddon comes out with Victor Reed comes out to be Ant’s tag partner.
----CA/Dre Black vs Armo/Ant. There was little psychology. Almost double heat, but I am not sure they knew they were doing it. Armo is a big guy and looked good in his role.
Armo ended it with a chokeslam on CA. Not good.
----This was the first match of the US Title Tourney with Cymba with Victor Reed vs Malik “The Great”. Cymba used a suplex reverse face plant kinda of thing that should have been the finish. Cymba kept having Malik in a pinning position, but not pinning him. If he is in a tournament for a belt, then why does he not pin him to advance? Headbutt from second rope from Cymba and Malik kicks out. No way! Malik comes from the dead with a dropkick and a Pele type kick he calls the “Trouble In Paradise”. He goes to the top and Reed pushes him of in front of ref and Malik wins by DQ. Not great, not good..but not horrible.
----“Aslyum” [Psycho/Pappy] vs Suicide/"The Samoan Savage" Samoan Raja. “Asylum” go after them before the bell. Pretty much a squash. Raja does nothing but chops – horrible. Suicide does a good job here taking a double arm bar slam and various double team kicks and moves. Pappy tripped at one point. Suicide gets a swinging DDT for one spot and then “Fall from Grace” finisher to end it. Syn/DJ Stunner jump Asylum after the bout. I thought Syn/DJ were babys?? They were using chairs also?? “Full Scale Assault” [Xander Raines/Jason Steele] jump in after that. Psycho starts whipping every one with chairs, which looked brutal. He hit Raja three times and I thought he killed him. Raja actually comes back from this and nails Xavier Raines.
----Precious comes out for an interview. He asks what the US Title is?? If they are supposed to be having a big tournament shouldn’t everyone know what the belt is?? Sniper comes out to get on the mic to challenge Precious. Precious got some good punches and kicks in. Announcers were totally overacting here - it sounded like a couple of little girls screaming. Not a good bout, but Precious was bumping all over the place for Sniper. Sniper never takes a good beating – not enough of just basic psychology here. Precious uses a chain to pin Sniper.
----“S&S” Syn/DJ Stunner vs “Full Scale Assault” [Xander Raines/Jason Steele]. Steele with some horrible chops…Double team moves from S&S. Pretty dropkick from DJ to Steele. Heat on Syn. A double team move from FSA with a legdrop from Xander and a rolling senton from Steele. Raines looks like a short PN News. LOL Syn hit a flying head scissors for the DKO and hot tag. Match turns into fustercluck and then Asylum run in to finish everyone off.
NOTES
----I like Ant. Not bad on the mic. Needs some work in the ring, but has potential…Not a big crowd…Audio was much better. Jason Hall was a bit toned down and Eddie Spain is ok as an announcer. They both totally overact on stuff like simple chokeholds. They also need to understand; no matter if you are a heel or babyface announcer, you got to get over the product, not yourself. And just because Hall is a heel, doesn’t mean he can not put over some of the babyface talent and vice versa…V-Man, who has worked various promotions in this area, is playing the role of Armageddon. He does a good job doing the old Lord Humongous/Jason gimmick...Malik is sooo small and still green in spots…They put over the fact that last night at “Deception” S&S had won the tag straps and all three teams in the angle on TV were wanting the belts. “Asylum” did look better in role of just kicking everyone’s ass on the show…They really need at least 2 camera shoot. The stuff in with Asylum would have been sooo much better, if there would have been a camera in the ring…Hall put over that Precious’ match at “Deception” was a [*****] “Five Star Wrestling match” Nah, I don’t think so. LOL…Main event was the best match…The show did not have anything just GREAT on it and some of the stuff was bad, but it was way better than last week’s show. They still need to tweek the audio and put it thru so that the TV audience hears the announcers clearer. In reality, the crowd does not have to hear the announcers – the TV audiences are the ones that need to hear them….Tapings are held every Saturday at 2:00pm at the IWA Arena, located at 1225 State Line Road in Southaven, Mississippi. The building is located right beside Sonic and across the street from Dale's. FREE Admission!...This group’s next big show is “Fall Out” on 9.25.09…Thanks to D-Rock for his help with all the names.
