WWE VELOCITY FOR 9/24: IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG FOR US TO GET RESURRECTED LIKE JESUS

By -


Hey. Remember when I used to write for this blog? Yeah, me neither. But that's what happens when real-life interferes.

But I promised I would recap the last broadcast edition of Velocity, so here's the short, short version using a format established by one Mr. Rosser. Enjoy.

VELOCITY FOR 9/24 (TAPED 9/20)

MATCH 1: WILLIAM REGAL/PAUL BURCHILL v. SCOTTY 2 HOTTY/FUNAKI

+: EEEEEEEVIL~~ theme and robe for Regal. Gotta love it.
+: Nice subliminal shout out to the Cat by Josh.
+: Also a nice DeMott-like match breakdown from Josh.
-: When is Scotty going to change his gimmick?
---:To my VCR for almost eating my tape. Or maybe it’s my tape that has become shitty.
+: Damnit, we need a heel push for Regal.
+: Nice job by Burchill to kick the hand away.
+: FUNAKI IS A HOUSE AFAR.
+: Nice double team shoulderbreaker by Regal and Burchill.
+: Arm breaker!

YOUR WINNER VIA SUBMISSION: REGAL/BURCHILL

Not bad. If Burchill can hold his own, they could be a good tag team.

Commercials.

?: It was kinda funny to see Taker in the coffin, but he’s got to put Orton over clean. Or clean for the Undertaker at least.
-: It’s not going to happen in a handicap casket match, though.

MATCH 2: BRIAN KENDRICK v. RUSSELL SIMPSON

+++: SPANKY~~~~
+: Good call by Josh to point out their matchups in Japan. I didn’t know that.
+: Gotta love the flipout of the leglock.
-: Can’t whiff on the splash, though.
-: I don’t like Kendrick’s haircut.
?: Nice kick, but he almost landed on his head.
+++: SLICED BREAD DADDY!

YOUR WINNER VIA PINFALL: BRIAN KENDRICK

Damnit, get this man a feud on Smackdown, stat!

Commercials.

---:Gay doctor? Laaaaaaaaame.
+: Good on Eddie to “steal” the win and not let Batista get one on him.

Commercials.

MATCH 3: MEXICOOLS v. FBI

--: Why aren’t the Mexicools on Smackdown?
+: I would like a “Juan Deere,” though.
+: Nice clothesline by Vito.
+: Crazy’s dropkick.
+: Sweet rollthrough double team move by Psicosis/Crazy!
?: Nice pescado by Psicosis, but they’ve got to take more of the blow.

Commercials.

+: Nice inziguiri by Psicosis.
+: That’s how you drop an elbow.
-: For that matter, why isn’t Nunzio on Smackdown more? PUSH THE CRUSIERS!
++: “Mexicools!” chant! It’s there, it’s there!
?: Good Lord Vito is glowing. Weird.
+: Hard cheap shot by Vito.
+: Nice block by Psicosis!
++: SUPER CRAZY ES EN FUEGO!
-: Man, he almost pulled a Hayabusa on that moonsault, though.
+: Spinning DDT! That gets the win!

YOUR WINNERS VIA PINFALL: THE MEXICOOLS

Awesome match…but you’re still ugly, Psicosis.

So, with that in the books, I'd like to name a few Velocity matches that were top notch. Shane already did the ground work, but I'll kick in some that he missed.

-Chavo Guererro v. Ultimo Dragon for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship (3/20/04)

The best match Dragon ever had in the WWE.

-Rey Mysterio v. Akio v. Billy Kidman v. Nunzio for the number one contender for the Crusierweight title (4/10/04)

If this had gone 20 minutes instead of eight, it would have been awesome.

-Rey Mysterio/Ultimo Dragon/Billy Kidman v. The FBI (10/25/03)

Awesome six man tag.

-Billy Kidman v. Tajiri (5/25/02)

Sadly I never got this on tape, but it was a great 15 minute match on the very first show.

And with that, we bid Velocity on Spike adieu. Hopefully I can head over to my brother's place to watch Velocity on the web (but if you need a recap, Cubs has the hookup.)

Stay tuned for mine and Shane's recaps of IMPACT!

The flurry of Heart Punch activity continues, as I bust out a Video Vault post, just so I can say that we had new content every day for a week. Because that's certainly worthy of merit, right? RIGHT? Chris Hero & Team F.I.S.T. (Icarus & Akuma) v. Mike Quackenbush & ShaneSaw (Shane Storm & Jigsaw) (CHIKARA - Return of the Son of the International Invasion of the International Invaders: 1st Stage - 8.19.06) Spreadin' the CHIKARA love! Seriously...if you can watch CHIKARA and not *love* CHIKARA, you might be dead inside. I'm about to dive into the King of Trios shows tonight, so huzzah to me. And, uh...this match is heaping helpings of awesome. Just watch it. Necro Butcher v. Roderick Strong (IWA:MS - Hurt - 3.24.06) Not as fun as most of the Necro "dream matches" that have happened over the past year. Which is odd, as you'd think Roddy would be the perfect guy to beat the shit out of Necro (because really…that's what most of these matches amo...

Wrestling Society X #5

Two recaps in two days? Perish the thought! What are the odds that I can make it through all six shows without skipping a day? That would be nutty. -Tonight, The Filth and the Fury faces Team Dragon Gate. 6-Pac answers Human Tornado's challenge. Arik Cannon debuts versus the also debuting Delikado and Ricky Banderas SPEAKS! -Opening montage. - Jibbs performs. -Clips of the fireball angle from the last show. This leads into the Banderas promo (w/subtitles, even though he speaks decently clean English). Apparently, Vampiro is the cause of his facial scarring after he rigged Banderas' coffin to explode. What is it with Vamp and exploding coffins? He promises Vamp that his days are numbered. Team Dragon Gate v. The Filth and the Fury - Teddy Hart and Yoshino open with a quick armdrag sequence. Hart takes control, taking him down with a Russian legsweep and picking up a two count. Both guys tag. Genki tackles M-Dogg, then takes him over with a hiptoss. He charges, but gets elevated...

The 2009 post

None of us type into this here blog thing very often, do we? Are we too busy? Too lazy? Too stupid? I speak only for myself when I say ALL OF THE ABOVE! But hell, I think even I can manage one post a year and this is it! Actually, this is all shit that I've already posted elsewhere over the past year, but cut and paste is one of my many skills. I don't even remember watching some of this stuff, but yeah...here you go. I finished the first disc of the '08 Champion's Carnival (covering the A Block). Lots of good stuff here, with a ton of stories woven through. You have Kojima's injured lariat arm, Kea busting his ass like crazy, but not being able to eke out a win, Tanahashi just generally being a douchebag (in the best way possible!) and Mutoh/Kawada bringing the veteran presence. Favorite match so far was probably Mutoh/Tanahashi. Tanahashi dicks it up, eventually going to work on Mutoh's gimpy knees. Mutoh makes the comeback to show the young buck how to proper...
