Extreme throat thrusts Spade in the ring and delivers an elbow strike to the neck for a two count. Spade elbows free from Extreme, but Extreme hits a leapfrog Fame-Asser for the win. (*1/2. There was mostly a focus on the weapons and brawling. It wasn’t too bad and I can get behind Mr. Extreme as the resident hardcore guy in Wildside.)
Backstage, Romeo Bliss is pissed saying that Behrens and Chance have never liked how Bliss conducts business. Bliss says that Taylor is a recovering alcoholic and doesn’t even know how to party.

However, the Boogalou Crew get on the apron to distract the Pistols. Estrada and Powers rolls the Pistols up from behind and manage to pin the champs in a non-title match! (**. A decent tag match and the finish with the Crew costing the Pistols the match worked for me.)

Horne backdrops Bliss and hits a running clothesline a couple of times. Bliss kicks Horne to avoids a backdrop and spikes Horne with a piledriver for the win. (**. I enjoyed this for what it was. Bliss is a good worker and a solid heel.)

After the match, Romeo Bliss comes out and beats on Taylor with a liquor bottle. Bliss pours the booze into Taylor’s mouth. Bliss spikes Taylor with a piledriver and taunts the crowd to end the segment.

Rivers climbs to the top rope hitting a leg drop and covers Banks for the win. (*1/2. Not too bad of a match between these two. Rivers is solid in the ring and has some good intensity that connects with the crowd. Banks seems to be a young high flyer who could grow into a fun wrestler if given time.) After the match, Rivers cheap shots Banks before leaving the ring.
Before the main event, Jeff G. Bailey calls their opponents house Negros, but is chased from the ring quickly.
Main Event: Ruckus, Bad, Black & Beautiful (Billy Simmons & Sean Powers) vs. K-Krush, Ice Pick & Vic Violent: Violent hip tosses Powers to start the match.

Violent delivers a leg drop to Powers. Ruckus and Krush are in the ring after a commercial. Krush avoids Ruckus while there’s brawling on the floor. The referee has counted to ten and the heels lose by count out. (*. I’m glad they avoided any interaction between Ruckus and Krush. They must be meeting at the big event coming up in October. I was worried that Ruckus not being tagged into the match was going to lead to Ruckus turning, but thankfully that didn’t happen.)
Final Thoughts:
Another good episode of NWA Wildside TV. These shows have a great flow and each week something is advanced or introduced.
