Mississippi Championship Wrestling TV show 02/19/2011

This episode of MCW for some reason is only 30 minutes long.But the promoter has told me starting next week they will go back to the normal hour long show. I assume this is the episode that was supposed to air over 2 weeks ago.

We start off with a nice video package to "Land of Confusion". Then We see a match in which the Wild Childs of the city attack Calvin Rose. I am betting this is pay back for Calvin beating Monty Warbucks on the last episode. Warbucks beats Calvin with a belt then starts choking him in the corner with said belt. OK they are using some weird video effect on it that causes the picture to kinda warp back and forth from the left to the right. The beat down continues Hard to tell if the crowd is into it,cause again we are hearing "Land of Confusion".

We cut to a commercial advertising an upcoming card. And another telling us who to call to get MCW merch.  We come back and it is Whiskey Hangover vs Capitol City Muscle. In what we are told is a best of 7 series. The winners of the series will get $7000. Match starts off with CCM double teaming Whiskey Hangover. But Ron Horn gets the upper hand and proceeds to beat down on the smaller member of CCM. Ron tags in Barry Wolf. Wolf hits a stiff clothesline and starts to choke the CCM guy while he is on the mat. Wolf tags in Horn. Horn takes his opponent to the corner and chops the shit outta him. Horn catches him with a DDT and goes for the pin. But CCM guy kicks out. Horn knocks him to the mat again and stomps on him. Then picks him up and throws him to the ropes. CCM guy hits what I think is a Thez press and makes it to the corner for the hot tag. But Horn also manages to tag in Wolf. Wolf gets slammed by the bigger member of CCM. While the smaller guy and Horn fight outside the ring. Wolf ends up getting the pin by holding onto to the tights of the bigger member of CCM.

We come back from commercial and Jason Rose vs Raging Rick Morgan. Rose looks a lot like Doug Sommers. Rose gets on the mic and says he will give Morgan one chance to get outta the ring and save him the embarrassment of getting beat. Playboy Rose taunts Morgan by jiggling his bitch tits. Morgan knocks Rose down and goes for a pin. But Jason Rose kicks out at 2,and then rolls outta the ring. Morgan gets tired of waiting and goes outside the ring to bring the fight to Rose. Rose gets back in the ring and hits Morgan with a  cheap shot as he is coming back in. Jason sends Rick to the ropes,but Rick hits a shoulder tackle and knocks Rose to the mat. Rick then gets a nice looking suplex on Rose. Rose makes a comeback and knocks Rick to the mat. Morgan tried for a roll up after Rose misses with a shoulder tackle to the corner. Morgan runs to the ropes but is tripped by Monty Warbucks. This allows Jason Rose to hit a rolling Samoan drop. Then the 21st Century Playboy goes to the top rope. And hits a great leg drop. 1,2,3, Jason Rose gets the win. Rose and Warbucks celebrate at ringside while "Do you think I'm Sexy" plays.

We come back from a break and it is The Bruise Brothers 2k vs Mike Carter and Anton Leveigh. Carter isn't wearing the dog chain this week. The Bruise brothers go outside the ring and heckle the crowd for awhile. Sweet Porkchop Cash is at ringside. Porkchop Cash has to be the best name in wrestling ever. Brother Love starts the match in the ring with Anton. Leveigh works the arm then tags in Mike Carter. Carter keeps working the arm,but Brother Love rolls outta the ring. Brother Love tags in his partner,Roosevelt. Then Mike Carter tags in Leveigh. Leveigh hits a few high impact spots and Roosevelt rolls out. Brother Love hits the ring and gets double teamed by Leveigh and Carter. Porkchop Cash gives his guys some advice. And Roosevelt  gets back in the ring. Seems he wants to shake hands with Anton. The crowd keeps on telling Leveigh not to do it. But instead of shaking hands Leveigh hits Roosevelt with a big slap. Roosevelt hits Anton in the back with a loud ass kick. Then he throws Anton out the ring and goes over and taunts Mike Carter. While outside the ring Brother Love slams Anton onto the hard concrete floor.Roosevelt rolls out the ring beats on Anton for awhile. But Anton gets up jumps to the ring apron and hits a hurricanrana on Roosevelt.Leveigh hits 3 stiff punches,before Roosevelt throws him back into the ring. Roosevelt goes for the pin ,but the ref sees that his feet are on the ropes. So Roosevelt tags in Brother Love he hits Anton with a series of elbows,then a running knee lift.Love lays Anton across the bottom rope. And while the ref is distracted Porkchop Cash chokes Leveigh with the bottom rope. Love hits Anton with 3 leg drops. Then hits the ropes does a little dance and hits a elbow drop on Anton. Roosevelt is tagged in and he does a great looking hanging vertical suplex. And we cut to commercial. We come back and Roosevelt has dragged Leveigh to his teams corner. Roosevelt hits a nice looking split legged moonsault. He goes for a pin but Leveigh reverses it. Leveigh comes off the ropes and hits a huge clothesline on Roosevelt. Leveigh hits a Pele kick. And now Leveigh and Roosevelt are flat on the mat. The ref starts a 10 count. Leveigh gets up and tags in Carter. Carter cleans house and  hits Brother Love with 2 huge headbutts. Leveigh rolls Love outta the ring . While Carter stays int he ring . Carter hits Roosevelt with a powerbomb into the turnbuckle. Carter then picks up Roosevelt and hits a running powerslam. But he only gets a 2 count. Brother Love grabs the briefcase and hits Carter with it for a DQ. And the show ends with a bunch of pictures while "Land of Confusion" plays.

This show while only being 30 minutes is a major improvement over the first episode. None of the matches seemed to be clipped. And the sound was a lot better. Can't wait to see more of the Whiskey Hangover/Capitol City Muscle best of 7 series. And what seems to be a big feud between The Bruise Brothers 2k and Anton Leveigh and Mike Carter. Plus it is always great to see Porkchop Cash.

Why there wasn't a review of MCW this past weekend.

The second episode of the weekly MCW show did not air this Saturday. Instead Fox 40 aired an hour of infomericials. I contacted teh MCW promoter and was told that something was wrong with the dvd they sent to Fox 40. And that the dvd wouldn't play. A new episode should be airing this Saturday morning at 6am central on Fox 40.

On the screen they inform us this will be video highlights. Whiskey Hangover are Ron Horn and Barry "Mr 500" Wolf. Damn I wish this was the entire match. I have seen Horn and Wolf face each other 5 times now,but have never seen them as a tag team. For some reason there is no sound . One of the CCM guys slams Wolf. Then it cuts to Horn and Wolf double teaming one of the CCM guys. And "Let the bodies hit the floor" starts playing. We get to see Whiskey Hangover beating the crap outta one of the guys from CCM. The CCM guy hits a shoulder tackle and manages to tag in his partner. Who comes in the ring and beats up both members of Whiskey Hangover. One of the CCM guys picks up Barry Wolf.

And we get a nice collection of pics of the various wrestlers while Genesis's "Land of Confusion" plays.

Overall not a bad show for the first show. There was a few sound problems and sometimes the video showed some breakup. But it was a fun introduction to the MCW product.

Deathsport

Deathsport

This was supposed to be a sequel to the surprise hit "Death Race". But somewhere along the way the script got changed and it become it's own standalone film. Starring David Carradine and Claudia Jennings this film is set in the near future. And fits into the whole Post apocalypse genre of film. Seems in the future people are placed into the Deathsport game. Which from what I can figure out is 2 people armed with laser swords vs about 10 people on motorcycles that also have lasers. Kinda a cheesy film but worth a watch. But a few warnings about the dvd release from Shout Factory. It seems the only print they could find in good shape was an editied for tv print. So everytime the film gets to a scene with violence or nudity,they had to use a print that is in pretty bad shape. Most of these scenes have green lines running down either the left or the right side of the screen. Also the sound on these scenes is pretty bad. Thankfully this is out on a dvd with another film and can normally be found for around $15. The dvd also includes a commentary with Alan Arkish. Overall it is a fun way to waste and hour and a half. Deathsport gets a C+.
