Tony Stetson vs Tommy Cairo
This
is for Cairo's Pennsylvania Heavyweight title. Actually a pretty good match
here, thought Stetson was really good. Loved him jawing at the crowd and
suddenly poking Cairo in the eye. Stetson controls with a nice flying
clothesline and a throat chop. Also, loved the mule kick as he re-enters the
ring, just flowing round into it in one quick movement. Cairo isn't great here,
his belly-to-belly looks unimpressive and his leg lariat looks more like a
clumsy hip attack, but he's perfectly carryable. The match ends with a clash of
heads, the ref getting bumped and Hunter Q Robbins putting Stetson on top for
the win.
Jimmy
Snuka vs the Metal Maniac
Oddly,
the face/heel roles seem off in this match. Snuka has been heel for his whole
ECW run, but here he’s leapfrogging, moving quickly and posing for the crowd.
Meanwhile, Maniac does stuff like a cheap shot knee to the stomach. Everything
Maniac does looks slow motion, making this feel more like a training match.
Snuka gets the win with a small package.
The
Public Enemy vs Jason Knight & Ian Rotten
This
is a full match from Ultraclash 93, and is a squash for the Public Enemy. Ian
Rotten is oddly billed as coming from Newcastle, England. It’s an overlong
squash, though TPE look impressive throughout. Liked their double-team
tombstone on Rotten, though the bit where Rotten leaped over the top rope off
an Irish whip just so Rocco Rock can hit a big tope looks off. The end sees
Grunge hit a reverse DDT and Rock hits a swanton for the victory.
