The Super Destroyers vs The Wolfman & Super Ninja
Really basic squash here. Wolfman, despite the name, is just
a fat guy in jeans. One Destroyer does hit a nice enzuigiri, but then barely
gets Wolfman up for a slam. Super Ninja doesn’t fare much better and gets
pinned following a senton. Nothing to this.
Jimmy Snuka vs Tommy Cairo
This isn’t much better. Short match with Cairo working a
headlock for a long time to start. Not in the fun way, where Mike Quackenbush
can work five minutes of schtick around frustrating his opponent with a
headlock, just Cairo holding a headlock for a long time. Cairo barely stays
down for a piledriver, before a ref bump sees Johnny Hotbody interfere, laying
out Cairo with a weapon to allow the Superfly splash to win.
Eddie Gilbert vs Glenn Osbourne
Gilbert decides to go for smoke and mirrors to make this
bout work. Lots of fighting outside the ring to start, making it hilarious to
hear ECW commentators bemoaning the use of a table as “not wrestling”. Gilbert
is clearly holding Osbourne’s hand through this to make it interesting.
Osbourne works a weak comeback, with a milky clothesline, before Gilbert pins
him after a brass-knucks blow. Commentator Jay Sulli informs the referee
however, and the ref reverses the decision after finding them in Gilbert’s
tights. This leads to Snuka vs Osbourne for the TV title tonight, as if we need
another Osbourne bout.
Rockin’ Rebel vs Frank Cody
Squash, after Rebel flies into a rage when Sandman’s valet
Peaches gives him a slap instead of a kiss. Barely 30 seconds, though I liked
Rebel’s match-winning spinebuster.
Glenn Osbourne vs Jimmy Snuka
Yeah, this really isn’t great. Osbourne can barely hit a
hiptoss on Snuka. There’s a terrible ref bump, as Snuka has to guide Osbourne
round to get into position to be pushed into the ref, and Gilbert returns to
break up a pin, leaving Osbourne prone to the Superfly splash to win the ECW TV
title for Snuka. Really poor.
