Footage from last week where Jeff G. Bailey was embarrassed by Lazz and it was suggested that Bailey was sodomized by Lazz (he wasn’t). Caprice Coleman cut a promo saying people are tired of talk and was promptly taken out by Bad Attitude. Lazz helped out Romeo Bliss against the NWA Elite pinning Onyx after a spear. NWA Elite also attacked Romeo Bliss in a gas station parking lot. The beatdown took place in front of Romeo’s wife.
MATCH #1 JASON CROSS VS. RICKY NOBLE
FINISH: Noble wins by disqualification after Air Paris and John Phoenix attacked Noble. After the match, Noble is tripled team until the American Males come out to make the save. An eight man tag match is signed for Fright Night, which has already happened by the time this aired.
Bob’s Take: The match is joined in progress with Noble hitting a powerslam and backdrop. Noble clotheslined Cross to the floor, as well. Cross battled back dropping Noble over the top rope from the apron. Cross hits a standing shooting star press. Cross continued with a hurricanrana, but missed a leg drop. Cross drops Noble with a superkick. Noble stops Cross with a high knee lift. Cross stands on Noble when Noble is in a tree of woe. Cross misses a baseball slide hitting the post. Cross fights back with a spinning heel kick in the corner. Cross drops Noble with a neckbreaker. Cross missed a corkscrew dive and crashed hard to the mat. Noble hit a float over DDT for a near fall. Noble hit a full nelson slam, but Air Paris and John Phoenix slide into the ring and attack Noble.
Match Rating: **
MATCH #2: ULTIMATE CREATION VS. COLE BROTHERS
FINISH: This is an no contest due to the Cole Brothers attacking before the bell. After the beatdown, Total Destruction attack the Cole Brothers.
Bob’s Take: Cole Brothers attacked Ultimate Creation before the match started and the match is thrown out. So, this is a no contest. I didn’t care for this all that much.
Match Rating: ANGLE
Total Destruction remained in the ring to call the Cole Brothers cowards and want them in the ring for a butt kicking. They ramble about the match at Fright Night.
MATCH #3: WILDSIDE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION STONE MOUNTAIN VS. TIMBER
FINISH: The match ends in a no contest due to brawling on the floor.
Bob’s Take: They brawled on the floor to kickoff the match with Mountain gaining the advantage. Mountain hits a sit out slam for a near fall. They go to the floor again where Timber whacks Mountain with chair shots. Back from break. Timer has put a bloodied Mountain through a table and hit Mountain with a piece of broken table. Timber rakes Mountain’s forehead with a barbed wire axe handle. Some wrestlers try to enter the ring, including Gotti, who I’ve never seen before. Timber takes out Gotti with a spinebuster. Timber elbow drops Gotti from the top rope. Timber eventually leaves the ring. I feel like seeing this before watching the supercard would have been beneficial to show that Timber could harm Mountain severely.
Match Rating: *1/2
Backstage, Jeff G. Bailey cuts a promo saying that Stone Mountain has embarrassed him for the last time. Bailey talks about the blood and hair on the barbed wire. Timber chimes in and cusses causing his audio to be dropped. Bailey promises the end of Stone Mountain’s career.
MAIN EVENT: WILDSIDE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS BOOGALOO CREW (WRENN & DAZZ) VS. AIR PARIS & JOHN PHOENIX
FINISH: Phoenix pins Dazz after Bad Attitude attacked the Boogaloo Crew.
Bob’s Take: I don’t know if I’m not paying attention, but the Boogaloo Crew is coming out to the Pitbulls ECW theme now. Wrenn and Phoenix kicked off the tag match with Wrenn press slamming Phoenix and tossing Paris into Phoenix sending them both to the floor. Paris counters a press slam for a near fall and heel kicks Wrenn. Paris stops Wrenn with a middle rope side Russian leg sweep. Wrenn tosses Paris overhead with a t-bone suplex. Dazz and Phoenix enter the match with both men hitting arm drags. Dazz nails Phoenix with a superkick. Back from a break, Paris has kept control on Dazz. Paris kept Dazz on the mat with a head scissors. Dazz continues to be worked over by Paris and Phoenix. Dazz plants Paris with a DDT. Paris is sent over the ropes to the floor after hitting the corner, but Phoenix prevents Dazz from making the tag. Jason Cross hit a top rope hurricanrana on Dazz and Phoenix hit a springboard moonsault for a near fall. Dazz gets a sleeper on Paris, but can’t get momentum going. Phoenix turns Dazz inside out with a clothesline. Phoenix misses an impressive corkscrew senton splash. Dazz spikes Paris with a Michinoku Driver and powerbombs Jason Cross. Wrenn gets the hot tag and cleans house with clotheslines before accidentally taking out the referee. Boogaloo Bounce on Phoenix. Bad Attitude come out and David Young smashes Wrenn with a chair shot. Young delivers a spinebuster to Dazz and Rick Michaels frog splashes Dazz. Phoenix is put on top of Dazz leading to a three count. They got plenty of time, which was nice to see. Boogaloo Crew are much better together than they are on their own. I’m sure at some point they will be split again, but they are 100% a better team than singles. I enjoyed the match. Phoenix and Paris are solid workers, and I’m curious to see where the trio with Cross could lead to. The aftermath by Bad Attitude was fine, too.
Match Rating: **1/2
Wildside Champion Stone Mountain cuts a promo saying that Timber doesn’t know what he’s getting himself into. Mountain says he’s not hard to find and the tape abruptly ends there.
Final Thoughts:
I wish this was shown before Fright Night as some angle advancements took place that could have added some hype to matches I’ve already seen. I’ll consider this an average to good show for Wildside.
Thanks for reading.
