From: Cornelia, GA
The show starts off with footage of a match involving Onyx being interrupted by Crowbar and Jeff G. Bailey. Bailey cuts a promo saying that what he has to say is much more important than the match. Bailey tells us that he warned Chance Williams about getting involved in his business, but Chance couldn’t help himself. Bailey wants K-Krush to come out because they have a present for Chance. Bailey says he’s the wrong man to mess with. Bailey believes he has all the power in the company. K-Krush comes out through the crowd with someone in a bodybag. Krush rolls the person into the ring and Bailey wants Chance to come out and see the present. Krush reveals it’s Chance’s wife! Chance slides into the ring and is held by Crowbar. Bailey calls her a tramp for being in so many hotels. Bailey suggests that she had been performing oral sex on the wrestlers. Bailey says that they gave her a mani, pedi and a facial. Crowbar tosses Chance to the mat as the heels leave the ring. Chances checks on his wife. (I was not expecting such a promo by Bailey, but it was great. I only dislike these angles because Chance isn’t going to get involved wrestling wise, I doubt it.)
There’s a new opening video for the promotion.
Chance Williams comes back out and calls Jeff G. Bailey out to the ring right now. Bailey and Crowbar come back down to the ring. Chance tells Bailey that he’s making a match for January 8th at Y2-Kaos. Chance says if Bailey wins he gets control for thirty days, but if he loses then AJ Styles gets a title match against Krush. Bailey insists that he’s going to control the company and he’s not too worried about the match. Bailey promises to fire Chance and Styles when he has control of the company. Chance also notes that Krush and Crowbar are barred from ringside. Bailey doesn’t mind because he doesn’t need them to take out Chance. Bailey signs the contract.
Opening Contest: NCW Television Champion K-Krush vs. Jorge Estrada: Krush starts off with a scoop slam and taunts the crowd. Krush arm drags Estrada and goes to the corner. Krush scoop slams Estrada again, but misses an elbow drop. Estrada arm drags Krush followed by a dropkick. Estrada continues with a backdrop and Krush bails to the floor to regroup. Krush decks Estrada over the back a strike and continues with right hands. Krush misses a splash in the corner and crashes to the mat. Estrada dropkicks Krush on the mat for a two count. Estrada forearms Krush a few times and delivers a back elbow leading to a near fall. Estrada controls Krush with an arm bar, but doesn’t get a submission. Krush eye rakes Estrada and continues with strikes against the ropes. Krush clotheslines Estrada and taunts the crowd again. Krush leapfrogs Estrada and delivers a heel kick for the clean win. (*. This was an extended squash for Krush, which is perfectly fine by me. Krush comes across as a star for Wildside.)
Al Getz is in the ring and cuts a promo about a woman in the front row taunting Getz regarding JC Dazz stealing his girlfriend many years ago. Getz thinks the crowd should be booing Dazz and not him. Getz isn’t going to yell and jump around. Getz talks about the summer camp and how he hung out at the arts and crafts bunk while everyone else played basketball and played sports. Getz didn’t have a lot of friends growing up, but did have one friend in a girl named Cara. Getz got her a present and picked some flowers, where he was going to give her the flowers at her bunk at night. Getz went there and found Cara, but she wasn’t alone because she was kissing another man. Getz saw the face of JC Dazz and it has haunted him for years. Getz tells the music guy to hit JC Dazz music because he’s calling JC out to the ring. JC Dazz makes his way out to the ring to confront Getz. Getz has an announcement and says the promoters have been begging for a match between Dazz and Wrenn. Getz reveals the match will take place at Y2-Kaos, but on his terms. Getz has two more bounty hunters for Dazz to get through. Getz says Dazz will get a match if Dazz beats bounty hunter at the Y2-Kaos event. Getz claims that Dazz broke his heart and spirit. Getz gets a chair from a security guy and says that Dazz has hurt him in many ways, except for one. Getz wants Dazz to hit him with a chair. Getz will call off the bounty hunters and Wrenn if Dazz hits him with the chair. Dazz goes to hit Getz with the chair, but Getz sprays Dazz with pepper spray. Getz wants Dazz dead and calls out the first bounty hunter named Shank.
Second Contest: JC Dazz vs. Shank: Shank misses a clothesline, but drives Dazz down with a chokeslam. Shank stomps on Dazz as Getz explains that Shank is a paroled convict from West Virginia. Dazz dropkicks Shank and hits a missile dropkick for a two count. Shank clotheslines Dazz to regain control of the match. Shank tries for a powerbomb, but Dazz counters with a rollup for a near fall. Shank elbows Dazz to the mat. Shank stomps on Dazz and they mess up a clothesline spot. Shank backdrops Dazz to the mat and taunts the crowd as the show goes to commercial. Dazz delivers a few strikes, but Shank plants Dazz with a gut wrench powerbomb. Shank plants Dazz with another powerbomb for a two count. Shank punches Dazz out of the corner and gains wrist control. Dazz hits a side Russian leg sweep and both men are down. Dazz climbs to the top rope, but is crotched by Shank. Shank hooks Dazz for a superplex and hits it. Shank goes to the top rope missing a splash attempt. Getz throws a chair into the ring and accidentally pepper sprays Shank. Dazz decks Getz to the floor and chases Getz on the floor. Dazz goes to the top with the chair and whacks Shank over the head for the win. (*1/2. Shank has a good look and didn’t look too bad in the ring for the moments he shined in. The stealing of the girlfriend angle just doesn’t work for me and the angle should be focused more so on Dazz and Wrenn.)
Main Event: Ruckus vs. Toad vs. White Trash vs. Damien Steele vs. Q-Sick in a hardcore elimination match: All four men start in the ring, as expected. Sick nails Steele with a heel kick and clothesline. Ruckus sends Toad into the railing. Ruckus is double teamed on the floor with a chair shot. Ruckus is brawling with Steele on the floor as the railing is tipped over. Ruckus chops Sick on the floor several times. Toad sends the referee to the floor and crotches Steele on the top rope in the process. Ruckus no sells several strikes by Sick and chokes Sick. Trash hits a somersault neckbreaker on the mat. Ruckus continues to destroy Sick in the crowd. Trash hits Toad with a stop sign on the groin. Trash hits a middle rope splash on Toad for a near fall as Ruckus breaks the cover. Ruckus clotheslines Trash coming out of the corner. Sick chops Steele on the floor as Ruckus hits Trash with an overhead suplex onto the stop sign. Ruckus drives Trash onto the stop sign with a slam for a near fall. Toad got into the ring to break the cover attempt by Ruckus. Toad sends Ruckus into the corner and hits a splash as the show goes to commercial.
Toad splashes Ruckus in the corner while Steele works over Sick on the floor. Ruckus drives Toad to the mat with a slam, but Toad rolls to the floor to escape a pin attempt. Trash hits Sick with a piece of wood. Trash plants Sick with a DDT. Steele misses a heel kick and is powerbombed by Trash. Sick works over Trash with chops in the corner. Sick hits a sit out powerbomb on Steele, but doesn’t go for a cover. Sick goes to the top, but is crotched by Trash running the ropes. Steele hits a middle rope face buster, but Trash hits Steele with a stop sign and pins Sick. Steele tosses Trash with a German suplex for a three count. Toad plants Steele with a flatliner, but Ruckus gets on the top rope and hits a diving headbutt on Steele to pin Steele. Toad and Ruckus advance to the Y2-Kaos match. (1/2*. I mean, there was nothing of true substance here and it was mindless brawling and typical hardcore action.)
Ruckus grabs a microphone and says he’s going to take it up a notch. Ruckus doesn’t know where Toad is from and doesn’t care. Ruckus is going show Toad on January 8th because he’s coming like he’s never came before.
Final Thoughts:
A subpar overall episode for Wildside this week. Shank has an interesting look and could have potential if he’s used regularly. The Bailey/Chance segment was nicely done and entertaining. I tend to be wary of owners getting involved in feuds as they can take the heat away from the actual performers. Bailey is a strong performer that if he were to lose to Chance, he’d recover quickly anyway. I think the right call would be Bailey winning and he gets control for a month.
Thanks for reading.
