End of Show

My Take: Ajax/Edwards was a simple and repetitive match. Isys/Vida was a solid contest that saw both men get a good amount of offense in. I personally believe that Isys Ephex is one of the better performers on the 2CW roster. Loca Vida is also a fun character and displayed some very good moves. Zaquary Springate is your typical heel, but that is a good thing. He got some good cheap heat when ripping on the fans. I do think that he may have needed to start a feud with someone bigger in size, than Spike Dudley. The JD/Gordy match, and Axe/Law match/segment were completely unentertaining to me. Thankfully there was a good tag team match between AMIL and the Killer Steves. Those four guys had some good chemistry and I can’t wait to see more of those guys in a 2CW ring. The main event was nothing special and that had a lot to do with the size difference in my opinion. Anything Spike did on ZSIII was not realistic to me. But, it is wrestling and wrestling isn’t supposed to be realistic. Big win for ZSIII, wasn’t expecting that at all but it was great to see. The street fight next month should be a better outcome and performance considering their will not be any restrictions.
