Konley superkicks James to avoid a clothesline and drops James down to the mat face first out of a crucifix bomb. Konley locks in an arm trapped Boston Crab to win the match by submission. (**. Not a bad opening match to begin the show with Konley looking good. James looks to be a rising heel as he garners some good heat from the crowd. I could see James getting a major push down the road just from his persona and heel work.)

Second Contest: Tommy Dreamer vs. Joe Gacy: Gacy takes Dreamer down to the mat with a front face lock, but Dreamer reaches the ropes quickly.

Dreamer tries for a piledriver, but Gacy blocks it. Dreamer tries for a Death Valley Driver, but DJ Hyde causes a distraction., Gacy superkicks Dreamer and leaps off the top hit a splash for the win. (*1/2. Nothing really going on here and I don’t like a cheap interference finish to protect Dreamer. Dreamer didn’t really accomplish much in the match while Gacy was solid enough. I don’t think that Gacy really benefits from this win all that much.)

Castle screams in pain as Thatcher bends Castle’s wrist backwards. Thatcher takes Castle down with a headlock to keep the advantage.

Castle breaks free with a Death Valley Driver into the corner. Castle connects with a dead lift German, but Thatcher kicks out and puts an arm bar on Castle to win the match by submission. (**. A slower pace match, but there’s enough here that held my interest and there were a few spots that were big enough to keep me focused. I liked the finish that Thatcher was able to get the submission seemingly out of nowhere. Castle was playing a more deranged version of himself, which was interesting to see.)

Fourth Contest: CZW Tag Team Champions Alex Reynolds & John Silver vs. Jaka & Sozio: Silver and Jaka kickoff the tag title match. Silver gains arm control, but Jaka breaks free by biting Silver’s hand. Silver tries for a shoulder block, but Jaka doesn’t budge. Silver dropkicks Jaka into the corner.

The champs hit their move on Jaka taking him down off their shoulders with a modified DDT to win the match and retain the titles. (*1/2. The match isn’t bad, I just wasn’t invested in the challengers to Reynolds and Silver. There were a few repetitive moments and I didn’t buy into the challengers as serious threats. The crowd likes the Beaver Boys, but there wasn’t much heat attached to this one.)

Fifth Contest: Pepper Parks vs. Greg Excellent: Parks attacks Excellent before the bell and wins with match with a quick rollup. The match lasted only three seconds. The crowd was not happy about that. As a result, Parks got his wife, Cherry Bomb, back.

Pepper Parks grabs a microphone to cut a promo telling the fans that he told them. Parks told them all that he’d get his wife back and he did just that. Parks insults Greg Excellent for being an embarrassment and claims that 2014 will be their year. Excellent gets a microphone and admits that he’s been chubby his whole life. Excellent admits he may not have a lot of friends, but he may have one. That brings out LuFisto for a mixed tag match.

LuFisto sends Parks into the corner face first. Excellent superkicks Bomb followed by stereo cannonball splashes in opposite corners. Excellent spikes Parks with a Tiger Driver after LuFisto dropped Bomb leading to a double pin for the win. (**. A decent match that doesn’t really standout. The crowd seemed to respond fairly well to everything. A fine undercard mixed tag match that didn’t over say its welcome.)

Dickinson stops Busick and tosses Busick over the top to the floor onto everyone. Colon kicks Dickinson to the floor, but gets tripped and Azireal hit a top rope double stomp for the win. (**3/4. The finish was a little abrupt and I don’t think was the best way to end it. Once the match broke down, the action was more enjoyable. Dickinson, Busick and Azireal stood out to me throughout the match. Dickinson comes across like an absolute monster and should be used far stronger at some point.)

Havoc puts over Dysfunction as a great death match wrestler and mentions that he’s retiring. It’s announced that Dysfunction will return in May to wrestle Havoc in his final death match.

Hyde is annoying as all hell to watch in the wrestling ring and the finish here was predictable. Jeez is a talented worker and I’d like to see him against people on the same level as him.)

I’d say this was one of the better matches I’ve seen Moore compete in. Moore showcased some fun offense and wrestled much differently than I usually see him wrestle. Strickland didn’t really standout throughout the match, but the potential is obviously there to breakout.)

Going into this match, I was a little worried about how their styles would mesh. Despite the differences in styles the match was very enjoyable and for a near half hour match it didn’t feel all that long. Fox is a lot of fun to watch with his dives and overall wild offense. Gulak didn’t stall the match with anything boring and came back with fantastic suplexs and kept the action going at a tolerable rate. A really good main event to close the show.)

Final Thoughts:
It’s a mostly average show with the undercard featuring a lot of talent that I’m interested in and that would go on to become accomplished acts in bigger promotions. Some of the hardcore focused matches and DJ Hyde wrestling were the only real negatives from the show. I’d say this is an average show with a strong main event and thus I’d give it a mild thumbs up.

Thanks for reading.
