This match is probably my best match to date. All three of us were on our A Game that night. What really made this match great was that the fans were going crazy all the way through the night. I've been going for more of a more "serious" gimmick recently. Not using that over exaggerated strut but keeping the trash talking in the ring (more of an intimidating, imposing heel than an animated, cowardly heel)


Side note, the guy who suggested the dubbed "900 lb Tower of Doom" was the guy on top.

I'll have to watch when I get on my friend's computer with Flash installed. I don't use the plugin on my computer due to how much it would lag. I'll watch and comment here by Friday!

My grandfather was from Arkanas, and was one of the biggest wrestling fans I've ever known. He never got to watch me wrestle though before he died, it's my little homage to him.

Your description of the match made me excited to watch. However, the slow pace for the first four minutes nearly put me to sleep. Was there a gentleman's agreement to not body slam each other until after the third guy came out five minutes in? I tried focusing long enough to count the suplexes and slams but didn't notice any other than a neck breaker by King Kong Bundy Clone #2 (Kore) on King Kong Bundy Clone #1 (Hambone) and the powerbomb / suplex spot at the end.

The Mexican music or whatnot with the repeating lyric "[something] [something] gorditas" was annoying as heck. That and the waving of the Mexican flag is a staunchly conservative region means your stable knows how to get heel heat. I heard fans both cheer and boo, so there was definitely audience engagement despite the open garage door making more obvious the handful of fans returning from the restrooms as occurs more disceretely in a more completely enclosed venue.

You're correct that the fans were relatively vocal, and that surprised me because the pace was about half that of even the slowest JAPW match. To his credit, Kore's electronica music is relaxing to help the put the fans in a more compliant mood for a slower match. That one obnoxious kid chanting, "Put him to sleep! Put him to sleep!" thankfully ran out of steam after about half a minute.

I hope that didn't sound like a snide smark rant, but when I read "on our A game," I had imagined a somewhat different, faster match with a few additional slams. To each their own, of course. I respect that you and the other performers are trying to avoid unnecessary risks to have longer careers less interrupted by injuries, but that was a plodding "big man's match" without the ratio of slams to non-slams (1/5?) I've expected in these situations. You do seem to know your audience, and I doubt you're interested in IWA, JAPW, or ROH due to the wear and tear their respective styles place on the body. So for staying in ?CW (I couldn't quite decipher the ring announcer's acronym), your play-it-safe style shuffices.

I re-watched and saw the T-Bone Suplex which I missed the first time. I like the pacing in your other matches, and so maybe the Bundy Twins (looked like brothers due to video quality) were deliberately slowing the match, although Kore moved alright for his first minute in. To be fair to you, I don't know what moves were common in the matches earlier in the card, and so it is more understandable to have a more mat-based match if the two previous ones were slams and suplexes galore.

Maybe when Kore loses the strap, he and Hambone can re-gimmick themselves as the Bundy Bros., Bing Bong Bundy and Ping Pong Bundy! OK, that last idea was a horrible booking idea, but if they faced a Ding Dong tag team knockoff... :)
