AAW "War is Coming" Quick Results

Very good show.
If any one ever wants to book Samuray Del Sol please don't let his family sit in the audience. I really, really, really, enjoyed them screaming "Fight Samuray" in my ear during SIlias promo about being unbeatable.
ALso, making your own WWE universe page is slightly douchy

Absolutely one of the best shows I've seen in a long time! Each wrestler gave it 110% as well as all the staff. Intense action from start to finish.

I'm going to get raked over the coals for this one, but this show did not move me. I can't figure out why. Talent was OK. Booking wasn't awful. Crowd was rather limp, especially in the second half. Hard to get any chant or heat going after intermission, until Rhino came out in the main event. Maybe the biz has left me limp.

I don't have most of my notes, so I'll update as I get them. Callahan and Colon didn't have trans to get to Chicago, so they did not appear. Why they would drive that far is beyond me.

8-man was solid, Miller OK. Skyy got kicked in the face after trying to save somebody. I think CLASH as a gimmick is more heelish when they turn up the religious/self-righteous aspects of their group. Some dives outside, but they didn't over do it. Lawrence needs to bring back the "suds and buds" chant.

Mena and MsChif came out right after the match for their showdown. Some brawling on the floor. Crowd was dead. Treznik distracted Chif and Mena won with a rollup and help from Tommy.

Eryn tried to get involved vs. Iron/Faith. Faith's firemans' neckbreaker on Wagner looked good. I like that cat.

Elgin vs. Beck was more than passable. Elgin won clean with the powerbomb. Not sure if it was the right time for a switch, but crowd reacted well and both guys worked hard.

Martini vs. Eastman promo featured Joey kissing Truth on the lips. Jesus wept. I think.

Street Fight stole the show. Danny got bloodied up by Walker and went to the back. Eastman hit a double stunner on N8 and Emerson and knocked Truth down. Good heat. Walker got blasted in the head with an unprotected chair shot, which looked brutal, but is beyond dumb. Danny came back and put Corbin into some chairs, leading to the finish. Beatdown afterwards. No idea why Danny turned.

Walker, who was heeled pretty well, called himself a f'n freak. This brought out Steiner to a good reaction. Steiner used a bunch of f-bombs, and Walker jumped him. Steiner came back with a belly-to-belly. He then suggested Walker go f Martini in the a. Too much cursing for an all-ages show, and I have no idea why a broke down Steiner was basically allowed to make Walker look so bad via beatdown, especially if there's no return match signed. The names should be getting the locals over in some way or form (see Punk, Greg Iron).

Next three matches were hard to watch. I was tired, and the crowd didn't help at all.

Tag title match was OK starting out, but crowd heat went down.

Cross d. Hollister with Shooting Star. Hollister gave a cursory hand slap, so the heel turn continues in a subtle manner, so good for that.

Lot of blood between Jacobs and Cannon, but not much heat. Jacobs won via End Time.

Crowd was happy to see Rhino. I always enjoyed his in-ring intensity. Silas was awesome as usual. He missed the plunge. PJ got bumped. Table was set up. Val Malone got in Rhino's face and Rhino gored her through the table. Absolutely brutal. She sold it like a champ and the crowd was bonkers. Two belt shots later, Silas won via pin. Silas walked out with the belt and Beck carried Val out, so maybe that will be furthered next month.

I hope the crowd noise is piped in during editing. It would make the second half of the show much better to deal with. If no, then I would not recommend a PPV buy based on what I saw.

I go to indy shows nearly every weekend (sometimes 3 a weekend), and this show was one of the best/ most professional shows I've ever been to- crowd was a bit quiet at points, and I think even a bit tired by the time semi-main came around, but great show none the less- the Steiner segment was awesome, I rarely mark out anymore, but I definitely did for that segment - highly recommend getting the ippv if you were not able to attend-
