I went to the Brawl at the Ballpark in Buffalo Saturday night.
the 1st match had Jimmy Hart and some local indy wrestler teaming against a local radio DJ and another indy wrestler, who was dressed like a teenage mutant ninja turtle... I repeat DRESSED LIKE A TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLE. He had the music and eveything. This match basically sucked until the end when Abyss came in and destroyed both indy wrestlers. Jimmy Hart then announced Abyss was the mystery wrestler in the 8-man tournament for the Natural Heavyweight title and that Hart would be managing Abyss.
we the saw round #1 of the tourney
Julio Dinero beat Petey Williams in a great match
Ron "the Truth" Killing beat Buffalo's own Johnny Swinger
Abyss destroyed some local guy who I never heard of
Teddy Hart stole the show by beating Dangerboy Derek Wylde. Teddy gets a lot of bad press but he was amazing to see live.
it was a little disappointing that a lot of the guys who were advertised weren't there (Chris Sabin, Zack Gowen, Konnan) but Teddy, Julio and Petey were awesome to watch.
next matched advertised for the card was a legends match between Hacksaw Duggan and Greg Valentine. Valentine didn't show! I know all of us CotG players were suprised by this. ;D But it wasn't exactly a bad thing since Buff Bagwell took his place. It was actually a pretty decent match much better than I figure Duggan would have with Valentine.
next we were treated to a live Piper's Pit. ;D Roddy started talking about all the good times he had in Buffalo in the past, including stuffing Jimmy Hart's underwear down Jimmy's throat. This brought Jimmy to the ring with Abyss. Piper then challenged Hart that if Piper could get someone to beat Abyss then Piper could get 5 minutes with Hart. Hart agreed and out came another unadvertised wrestler to the show, SEAN O'HAIRE! ;D O'Haire and Abyss just went at it for a while, O'Haire hit the swanton bomb but Jimmy Hart came in a Piper came in an then the locker room cleared. It was great to see Piper and O'Haire.
The main event was scheduled to be Shane Douglas vs. Chris Candido w/ Sunny vs. Bam Bam Bigelow. They announced before hand that Bigelow retired last week and I'm not really sure why Shane Douglas wasn't there, I was really looking forward to seeing Shane though.
But they had a excellant 45 minute anything goes match between Chris Candido and Al Snow. This match was pretty entertaining and it included Al doing the Worm, Stone Cold Stunner, Sweet Chin Music and a Pedegree. Candido did a Rock Bottom, a People's Elbow, and after being beaten for a while Candido started "Hulking Up" and did a funny as hell Hogan impression ending with the big leg drop (it only got a 1 count). Al ended up winning.
