AAW
Day Of Defiance 2013
Smart Mark Video
Synopsis:
AAW returns to the Berwyn Eagles club for more action in May 2013. AAW has been the top promotion in the midwest for my money as a fan from California. This show promises the performances of the midwest's best, as well as many others. We'll get Sami Callihan vs. Shane Hollister, and Samuray Del Sol vs. Silas Young amoung other great bouts. So any AAW fan knows we are getting our money's worth even if the undercard dissappoints; which in this case: it didn't.
Matches:
1. Louis Lyndon & Marion Fontaine vs. Zero Gravity
2. Heidi Lovelace vs. "Miss Natural" Heather Patera
3. Jake Crist vs. Jimmy Jacobs
4. Davey Richards vs. Mixed Martial Archie
5. Davey Richards & Kyle O' Reilly vs. Michael Elgin & ACH
6. Dan Lawrence, Keith Walker & Tweek Phoenix vs. Colt Cabana, Juntai Miller & Mat Fitchett
7. Eddie Kingston debuts in AAW
8. Silas Young vs. Samuray Del Sol
9. Last Man Standing: Sami Callihan vs. Shane Hollister
1. Louis Lyndon & Marion Fontaine vs. Zero Gravity
Good opening tag match. Lyndon and Fontaine have been building their presence as a team while Zero Gravity are veterans of the Chicago tag scene. About what I expected.
2. Heidi Lovelace vs. "Miss Natural" Heather Patera
Heidi looked really good in this outing against Miss Natural. Patera has been most impressive since returning to the ring last year. Heidi put up a good fight, but the experienced veteran showed her up in this much needed Women's match on the card.
3. Jake Crist vs. Jimmy Jacobs
A deepening aftermath of the Crist Bros. VS. Cannon & Jacobs fued presented our next match with some long running heat. Combined with Jake's ring ability meeting Jimmy's consistently good performances made this an entertaining undercard match.
4. Davey Richards vs. Mixed Martial Archie
Easily the most entertaining part of the show as "Mixed Martial Archie" (Archibald Peck) debuted in AAW against Davey Richards in a humorous matchup under MMA rules. Fans of Chikara and comedy wrestling would love this as much as I did.
5. Davey Richards & Kyle O' Reilly vs. Michael Elgin & ACH
Back to serious business; Davey was joined by his partner Kyle O'Rielly to face the threat of AAW Champion Michael Elgin and Heritage Champion ACH. ACH's incredible athleticism, Michaels Elgin's Incredible Strength, and Davey and Kyle's Incredible ring Talent were all on display here in this fantastic tag match. A amin event quality show we got in the undercard.
6. Dan Lawrence, Keith Walker & Tweek Phoenix vs. Colt Cabana, Juntai Miller & Mat Fitchett
A reasonable but forgettable six-man tag match was up next. Good performers and wrestlers, but the match left nothing to be remembered.
7. Eddie Kingston debuts in AAW
Eddie Kingston is a badass; as he easily proved by putting away Jordan McIntyre, Marcus Crane, and Knight Wagner with relative ease. He was entertaining throughout and proved (at least for the time being) that he was a wecome commodity in AAW.
8. Silas Young vs. Samuray Del Sol
This was a very good match for solid wrestling fans. Silas is a true star of the midwest indies, while Samuray is an amazing performer whom I've had the pleasure of seeing live and can say he's no joke. Needless to say; I was very excited for this match. It was A technical tou de force, and a hell of a show by both with Silas coming out on top.
Silas would then be confronted by Eddie Kingston; who delivered a fan-upsetting speech (turning heel in the process), to which Silas responded by displaying a rare glimpse of likability (turning face in the process). Kingston assauted Val Malone, and put Silas through a table. He announced himself a new force to be reckoned with in AAW, and to be honest; I hope Silas kicks his ass next time around.
9. Last Man Standing: Sami Callihan vs. Shane Hollister
For our final match we have the incomparable Sami Callihan vs. AWW's brightest shining new star in a Last Man Standing Match. As much as I love sexy Scarlett; I was glad she stayed out of this one for the most part, and when Marcus Crane tried to get involved: he got demolished. I won't spoil it for you, but this match lived up to the hype as it went all over the building, and really came down to the last man able to stnd at the end of this war. An awesome match that will only make me miss Sami that much more as he leaves for the circus, and truly make me respect Hollister as the new guy for the future.
