The event was built around a time machine theme (complete with an unseen Delorean, ala the film, "Back To The Future) complete with a Mad Scientist Ring Announcer.
First bout of the night saw White Ranger draw an opponent from the the time machine, R2TD2. R2DT2 had a robot persona, which he maintained throughout the match, and all the way to the back. White Ranger gave it his best, but fell victim to an old fashioned kick to the face and was pinned.
Next up was Dave Manzo, his foe from the past was "Kamikaze" Keith Calhoun, who emerged in a 1986 edition complete with fanny pack! The crowd was really taunting Calhoun, calling him "Biff," which really incensed him. Manzo, and calhoun put on a solid bout with Manzo scoring the pin after what looked to be a variation of the "attitude adjustment" (slam from a fireman's carry position).
Next was a trip back into more distant eras, as "Caveman" Tyler Elkins (obviously from the dawn of time) saw Matt Cross emerge from the time machine (circa 490 BC) in Spartan warrior garb. Spartan skills proved no match for primitive power as the Caveman overpowered the Greek Warrior with a "Neanderclaw" applied to the mandible, for the victory.
Next up was a "Mosh Pit Battle Royal." With headbanger musical accompaniment by The family. This one was won by N8 Mattson, and included, among others, one of the "Bumpin' Uglies" tag team. It was loud, it was wild, it was a wonder no one got hurt!
Thefirst half of the show concluded with an interview segment featuring Jenny from VH1;s "Rock Of Love" show . Jenny's guest was Simon Dean, former WWE star. When Jenny attempted to ask a question, Dean called her a "dumb blonde," much to the crowd's displeasure. Then Dean called out Clash Champion, Gavin "GQ" Quinn, who credited Simon's system for his success After verbally jousting with the fans, the heels turned their attention to Jenny.
Things looked bad for the reality show star, until, like chivalrous knights of old, tag team partners "Too Sweet" came to the rescue of the damsel in distress! This set up the main event: Dean and Quinn against" Too Sweet." It also led into an intermission and more music from "The Family."
After the break, "H3RD," Tommy Treznick, and Ded Vaughn, took on the challenge of Danny Danger and Josh Thor. But not before mad scientist Treznick presented his "monster" of a partner, with a female monster as a gift! Treznick, et al, took home the win after Ded delivered a pile driver to one of their foes.
Next up was "Ace High" Cameron Skyy, taking on fast rising star, Mena Libra, in an intergender match. This was one of the few miscues of the night. Libra, came to the ring in a walking cast from a fractued foot suffered three weeks ago in Lakewood, Ohio. The "hook" was that Skyy did not really want to wrestle Mena, but she insisted and was eventually flattened! In my humble opinion, she had no business in a wrestling ring with her injury.
Yes, I know there is a long tradition of wrestlers "working hurt." But not all traditions are worth preserving. Working with broken bones can delay healing, and shorten a career! Okay, I'll get off my soapbox now because it is eime for the main event!
The main event was a classic. Simon Dean played "old school heel" to perfection. Gavin Quinn complemented Dean as his partner, as the duo took on the high flying, if smaller tam "Too Sweet."
This was an exciting and satisfying tag battle, as both teams played their roles to perfection, After a back and forth battle, "Too Sweet" gained a well earned win, and Dean and Quinn teased turning against each other, before harmony was restored.
The real winners of the night were the fans, who went home happy after an exciting night of professional wrestling! Kudos to Clash Pro Wrestling for a very successful show!
