Let me go over the highlights of the show:
Though the opening match, which was fan-favorite Thunderbolt versus some crappy guy who was supposed to be Canadian, seriously reeked because both wrestlers lacked technical ability, the “Blam Canada” chants made it interesting enough.
Besides, the follow up match was the best of the night anyway. ECW’s Mikey Whipwreck took on WCW’s Crowbar. The chemistry between these two was amazing; you’d swear it was a main event. There was no title at steak, but it went on for well over twenty minutes. In fact it was also the longest of the night. Both of these competitors were major crowd pleasers . . . and they knew it. After Whipwreck made the pinned, he made sure the crowd gave an equal cheer for his opponent, who he then hugged and walked out with amid chants of, “Tag-team, tag-team!”
The tag team of Striker and Damian was another duo that surprised not only me, but the people who attended the show with me. They fought the team known as The Backseat Boys (and you can guess who they emulated). Despite their cheesy gimmick and over-done false cowardice, The Backseat Boys were an amazing team with a very fluid chemistry, reminiscent. The only thing they didn’t do right was look like they were supposed to be losing. Striker and Damian were hardly lacking in technical skill, but had this been a real match, there was no way they would have won. Should they drop their gimmick, don’t be surprised if either team finds their way into WWF or WCW.
