| Becks stuck to the Argentine football team earlier in the day! |
WAW made a welcome return to the town of Fakenham this evening, in front of a crowd that was very vocal, and probably one of the loudest crowds I have heard in recent months.
BASH v DETROIT (with Mini Michaels)
The ever-improving American star had the chance to gain a measure of revenge following Bash's baseball bat attack in Thetford last month, and with the country's youngest pro wrestler backing him up, he did not disappoint.
Bash's experience showed early on, and the face-painted warrior showed some good moves, and he was able to keep a few steps ahead of the rookie. But with the Mini Michaels cheering him on at ringside, Detroit fought back, even if it was for just a short amount of time.
However, the night belonged to the American. Despite missing a spear, which sent him crashing into the ring post, and escaping from one "home-run" attempt, and kicking out of another, Detroit gained the victory, it must be said with a little help from his friend, after his impressive jumping DDT. The best way to describe this outing - it was all good!
SWEET SARAYA (with Katrina) v ANGEL
The series between master (or should that be mistress) and pupil continued. Throw in an extremely vocal and passionate crowd, and a young manageress at ringside who doesn't seem to like me saying anything, and you have quite a good mixture.
Once again, Saraya showed that she is head and shoulders above the rest. Taking Angel back to wrestling school, Saraya opened the proverbial can of whoop ass on the youngster, demonstrating all of her skill, and showing us a few heel tactics as well! Even Saraya's newest protégé, Katrina, got in a few shots, much to the disgust of the fans in the front row.
Angel once again showed that she does have the potential to become one of the biggest female stars in the country. She has made great strides since the first time I saw her wrestle last December. But when it comes to an opponent like Saraya, Angel still has a lot to learn.
At the end, it seemed like Saraya had the victory, pinning Angel after dominating the proceedings. However, referee Joe Williams reversed his decision, awarding Angel the victory by disqualification, because of Saraya's constant use of the ropes. I've taken heat for this sort of thing before, so all I will say is, mmm.....
THE BULK (with Tease) v THE KRAFT
Having had no joy with the other Pitbull, the Kraft decided to try his luck against the larger of the brothers.
This match proved one thing - that with the physical gifts they have been given, a Pitbull can win on his own, and it does mystify me a little when these two choose to interfere in each others matches.
Kraft improved on his showing from Watton a few weeks back, but despite throwing all of his arsenal at the big man, there was literally nothing he could do to halt the Bulk's attack, Bulk winning with his always impressive looking leg drop.
Like many of his classmates, the Kraft does show promise. His day to shine will come soon.
A special mention to Tease here. Boy she looks wicked with that whip of hers!
BIG DAVE (with Tease) v THE LINEBACKER
The artist formerly known as Tank went back to his other sport for his gimmick, coming to the ring decked out in his American football outfit, butting the ring posts with his helmet, before his big singles bout.
A slow, methodical kind of match here, which is only to be expected when you have two mountains in the ring before you. Each went straight ahead with their attacks, literally battering each other with everything they had. While not exactly to my tastes, it was interesting to watch nonetheless, especially when Dave tried for a head butt, but found himself hammering away at something hard in the Linebacker's head.
Big Dave's cunning and experience won out here. After battering away at the Linebacker, Dave caught him in a Crippler Cross-Face like submission hold. The Linebacker tapped out. A good effort, but his inexperience was his downfall.
THE SUPERFLYS v THE U.K. PATRIOTS
Always a pleasure to see Jimmy Ocean return to the ring, this time in his hometown, to once again team with his long-time comrade Ricky Knight, against the current tag-team champions, Hot Stuff and the Zebra Kid. Despite this being only his third match since last October, Jimmy showed that he can still go, even if father time is catching up to him a little.
Now, this may sound like I'm kissing you-know-what here, but I really couldn't find anything wrong with this match. All four men put in very good performances, and, as always, the exchanges between Ricky and Zebra were a joy to watch. The match went back and forth several times, but it was always the Superfly's underhanded tactics that brought them back into the game.
Indeed, if it wasn't for these underhanded tactics, the veterans probably wouldn't have won this match. After nearly twenty minutes of good exchanges, Hot Stuff went for a monkey flip in the corner, which Jimmy Ocean reversed with a roll-up. Placing his feet on the second rope, and with Ricky holding them in place, the referee was blind to the rules infringement as he slapped the mat three times, and declared the Superflys the winners.
But that wasn't enough for the old boys, they wanted more. Announcing that they were back as a team full-time, the Superflys demanded a shot at the Patriots tag-titles. The match was agreed for the next Fakenham show in September. But that wasn't enough for the old men. Calling out the Pitbulls, they put forward the idea of a three-way dance in September, with not just the Patriots tag titles on the line, but all of the Pitbulls titles as well. Not ones to back down from a challenge, the big men from Sheringham agreed, with, should all the titles be retained by then, a massive seven championships on the line.
And before you ask, yes, Ricky did slap me in the head.
It's the moment you've all been waiting for - match of the night time. Got to go to the Superflys/Patriots match. All matches were good tonight, but this was the best. A perfect example of tag-team wrestling here, showing that the Superflys, if indeed they are back as a unit on a more permanent basis, are still a force to be reckoned with.
