IWA MS Eyes wide open DVD reivew
IWA MS Eyes Wide Open November 24th 2001 Charlestown,IN
Match 1
Dysfunction
vs
Hy-Zaya
Not a big fan of either guy. But Hy-zaya isn't horrible. Both are spot machines. But Hy-Zaya at least tries to sell sometimes. OK match to open the show with but nothing special.
Match 2
Mean Mitch Page
vs
Paul E. Smooth
Mean Mitch is OK. And with the right opponent can be decent. Paul E. is pretty much crap. So this match was horrible. What is it with IWA MS wrestlers and ICP? I see lots of them coming out wearing ICP gear and lots of them use ICP songs for their entrance music.
Match 3
Adrian Serrano
vs
Corporal Robinson
Adrian is a pretty good worker. And when Corp isn't doing death matches he is fun. Really well done match. Lots of stiff shots and some nice pacing of moves.
Match 4
Paige is on the left and Holly Wood is on the right.
Holly Wood vs Paige
This is the reason IWA MS lost this building. This is a bubble bath match between two strippers. The show was suppose to be 18 and older. But Ian being a fucking idiot let some people come in with young kids. What I have heard is the building owner found out and kicked IWA out of the building. Not much to say about this "match". Neither lady is anything special. They look like the types of girls that work at a somewhat sleazy strip club. While they are not ugly,they aren't stripper hot either. I do love that after the match Ian is out there on the mic letting everyone know they can get their pictures taken with Holly and Paige for $10.
Match 5
Rollin Hard (RIP)
vs
Rugby Thug Trent Baker
Rollin was never a good wrestler. He was entertaining and would have made a good manager. But in the ring he was crap. Sadly he died a few years back from cancer I think. Rugby Thug isn't bad. You can tell he is a huge fan of the Japanese Strong Style wrestling. Basically the match is Rugby just hitting Rollin with stiff as fuck punches and some nice crisp moves.
Match 6
Chris Hero
vs
Ian Rotten
vs
Cash Flo
So far this is the best match on the show. Hero was young here but you can see all the potential he has. Ian isn't bad. People seem to forget that Ian,when not doing death matches,can be good. Cash Flo is the weak link in this match. It would have been much better if it was just a normal match without Cash.
Match 7
Too Tuff Tony
vs
Spyder Nate Webb
Been big fan of Webb for years now. And wish he was still wrestling. Last I heard he was traveling around with one of those hardcore midget wrestling groups. Too Tuff Tony is OK. Nothing special. Nate makes this match. Really fun match but kind of wondering why it is the main event. I would have had this after the bubble bath match and made the three way the main event.
Then after the main event we get a bonus. We get to see all the guys that paid 10 bucks to get their picture taken with Holly and Paige. And it is a long ass line. I wonder how much of that money Holly and Paige got and how much of it Ian kept. And then spent on Orioles gear and pot and pills.
Overall this isn't a good show. There is a couple of meh matches. 1 decent match and 2 good matches. Unless you can find this cheap,say $5 or less,skip it.
