This week Ken Anderson debuted on Velocity, and I swear it is worth the time to check this guy out. He was so awesome. I knew roughly what he was going to do, but when he did it he made me into a life-long fan. Congradulations, Mr Anderson.
Velocity itself in general was a brilliant show this week.
Paul London and Frankie Kazarian put on the most exciting match I've seen in a long-time. I'm not too sure yet, but I'm willing to believe that the reports of cruisers being told to slow down is bullshit. Great match, and I'm loving that Irish whip reversal London's pulling out these days. If you watched Velocity last week, or if you watch this week you'll know what I mean.
Jimmy Jacobs was on, and he and Nunzio put on a nice showing. Jacobs' attire is awesome, as is Josh Mathews' commentating. Mathews and Jonathan Coachman are the future of the booth in this company, and they would make a near perfect announce team if you ask me. Coach is especially good at making you care about the performer, highlighting their attributes and really hitting some home runs as far as being an honest and believeable voice are concerned (I love it when Coach says Val is extremely talented, but needs to lose the gimmick and start focusing to be sucessful, and then there was when La Resistance was feuding and Todd Grisham asked Coach who he thought was the better member of the team, and The Coach flat-out told him "Rob Conway".), and Mathews has a great knowledge of the acual wrestling side and the backgrounds of each performer. Plus he finally connected Paul London's mushroom stomp to Super Mario, which was awesome to hear.
London is now wearing "Pac-Man" attire, with an "L" taking the place of Pac-Man. Plus he is seemingly going through with a "mid-career crisis" type angle. I am personally impressed with his promo ability.
Oh, and Velocity had it's own little "Last Week" highlight video with Nunzio winning the Cruiserweight Title being highlighted.
Steven Richards and Hardcore Holly also squared-off, and I dunno, there is just something so awesome about Steven Richards coming out dressed as "Big Stevie Cool" to his "I'll Show You, You'll See" theme and playing the heel in a match. It seemed to really fit in with his character, and it made it seem like he was slightly confused, and I could even see a little bit of "I don't need The Blue Meanie and Hollywood Nova" arrogance in his performance tonight.
It was just a genius show, and I really think Velocity was the best show put out by the WWE this week. Of course they need to lose the recap bits, but apart from that, it was perfectly awesome, IMO.
