ANyone going to the BCW Nash show in Kilmarnock friday night?

Nah. As soon as Dragon Gate confirmed their shows, I decided anything not named ICW that's happening before I've paid for it is a no go.

So this is the opening match of this big show right here. Forearms from Whitmer and Maff with slaps and then a high knee from Whitmer and Maff shouts in his face. The fans applaud for that.

Whitmer then runs into a brutal chop again and Maff lands more of the same. Exploder Suplex from Whitmer and that turns the tide again. Forearms from Whitmer and then he misses the high knee as Maff heads for the floor. Maff is walking away from this one and Whitmer stops him and lands some chops and then to the floor and he gets sent HARD into the railing. He then gets sent into another side. Into another side goes Maff and that sounds nowhere near as good as the guys in commentary are trying to make out. Whitmer gets sent into one and THAT sounded better.

Match Comments : This was good solid four way stuff. It wasn't the spotfest style all action that we have seen in the past.

It's good stuff all the way.

Match Winner : The Backseat Boys

Match Rating : *

Match Comments : I'll give it a snowflake for having some fun spots, but mostly this match is disgusting. Fucking disgusting. All four men have seemingly forgotten what wrestling is at this point and Jody Fleisch trying to fight through a serious injury is ridiculous.

Match Winner : Samoa Joe

Match Rating : ****1/4

Match Comments : This was a bit of an epic battle right here. Samoa Joe was the aggressive big man and Homicide took an absolutely vicious beating. The spell when he got fired up was the only real downpoint as it was a bit anti-climatic paired with the ending, but this is a fantastic battle.

This is a consistant show most of the way with a cracking main event worthy of it's slot. There is one match which is actually painful to watch at times though. Anyways, a good 2003 show.

TNA Wrestling also features the lovely and lethal TNA Knockouts, and the no-limits, high-flying X-Division.

Adam Howarth, Fuel TV Australia Channel Manager, said TNA iMPACT! is a welcome addition to the channel’s ever-expanding action sports portfolio.

“We’re absolutely wrapt to be bringing IMPACT to FUEL TV and building on our TNA wrestling offering for its legion of fans across the country,” said Howarth.

“Since April 2010 we’ve screened the classics series, TNA Epics, and now we’ve secured TNA’s most popular television series which is a massive win for fans. Now they’ll be able to tune into FUEL TV to get their total TNA fix,” he said.

"We're glad to partner with FUEL to provide Australian wrestling fans with the best professional wrestling in the world today. Bringing "iMPACT!" to FUEL will allow TNA's Australian fans a one-stop destination for programming," TNA Executive Vice President Andy Barton said.

If you're going to BCW tomorrow tomorrow, you'll be happy to know that Kevin Nash is in the UK and on his way up here.

The card is actually decent. Kevin Nash's opponent hasn't been announced. There's one mystery spot on the card, but I can't see it being him taking it as it's a heel. I reckon it might be Waltman. Anyways, the card...

"Bad Bones" John Kay vs "Darkside" James Scott

Johnny Moss vs. BT Gunn

Joe Coffey and The Highlander vs. The Aggrssion ( A combo of Chris Rampage, Davey Blaze or Steven Xavier, I think Kid Fite is in 1PW )

Sean Maxer vs. ???

Andy Wild vs. Red Lightning

"Tango" Timm Wylie vs. Jack Jester

Then you have some extra Kevin Nash on the show. The top two matches will deliver, and Nash is Nash. There's potential in another couple of the matches.

ANyone going to the BCW Nash show in Kilmarnock friday night?

I've been watching some old Nash videos in preparation.

Anyone remember this cracking feud? HHH was in his pomp, Nash looked like a monster and Foley was brilliant in his role.

I should note that I only think it's Waltman because it'd make sense if he was was with Nash, ya know?

He had a pure belter with El Generico earlier in the year with CHIKARA so he's having something of a resurgance at the moment.

Match Comments : It was a good opener. The action was pretty hot and the CSC's charisma made the match work. The fued worked because of the characters and the differences in them, so watching the CSC in action was very satisfying.

Match 2

I get the feeling that this match is just here to give Matt Stryker something to do while there's other things going on. We have the handshake and this one is going to get going!

Match Rating : **3/4

Match Comments : I like how Matt Stryker is ALWAYS going for the pinfalls at every oppertunity. I don't like how Chance Beckett's big submission was the exact same as Tom Carter's. It was a decent match with good counters and good action.

Match Rating : ****1/2

Match Comments : LOVE the mindgames from the start of the match. It created amazing tension between the two guys. It was definately one of the smartest matches that ROH had ever had. Paul London was just trying to outsmart AJ Styles at every turn, working on the leg to delete the high flying stuff while Styles flung everything at him just to give his leg some rest. The ending made sense but just seemed like a big cop out, especially considering that Paul London was going to be going elsewhere soon enough.

Match Winners : The Prophecy

Match Rating : ***1/2

Match Comments : The heel vs. heel dynamic of the match made much of it very awkward and the fans never got into it, but by the end they wanted the Prophecy win because it meant more Christopher Daniels. Yeah, that confuses me too. Anyways, this was a very solid six man tag which was ruined a wee bit by the dynamic.

The main event itself makes this a must-see show, but there is also a typically fun four way and one of the better instalments in the Raven/Punk fued with a chaotic brawl. There really is a something for everyone sense on this show that makes it worth your while.

And here the lucky fella in question

awesome-kong-01.jpg

I imagine that bedroom scene would be akin to the one in Family Guy when Lois puts on all the weight.

"Fat sex is the best sex we've ever had, there were so many boobs I didn't know whose boobs I was grabbing, your boobs or my boobs"

Apologies for lowering the tone lads, it had to be done.

I missed it. What WILL he be doing?

He said something along the lines of "one of my friends called me, he's seriously outnumbered and needs my help". I'd guess Colin McKay will be getting beaten down by the Agression, only for Nash to emerge and squash the lot of them.

Dunn and Marcos vs. Prince Nana and Jimmy Jact Cash

A fan chants "You Still Suck!" at Nana. He's probably right as well. Nana and Cash get cheap shots in and then Dunn and Marcos avoid moves and get two counts.

Match Rating : **1/2

Match Comments : I wasn't fussed about the big moves or anything. That's part and parcel with matches like this, but at LEAST have it resemble a match. I appreciate the big moves and a couple of them were cringeworthy brutal, and those spots are brilliant which is why I went as high as I did on the rating, but that's it.

The main event is spectacular, but it's also disjointed as hell and not the selling point that I thought it used to be. Thankfully the undercard has a whole bunch of stuff and like all ROH stuff from those days, there's the whole "something for everyone" thing that makes these shows easier to get through than the 2002 stuff.
