Tony Stetson vs Tommy Cairo
Another solid Stetson performance here, though this dragged
a bit more than their previous match. Cairo is a guy who can throw some nice
suplexes but not much else, so Stetson is kinda forced to work around those limitations.
It works when Stetson is in control, as he heels it up nicely. Nasty looking
chop to the throat, grinding his boot into Cairo’s face and stalling outside
the ring when Cairo gets any advantage. It’s when Cairo is in control that it
drags a little, as he’s not really sure how to fill the void. I liked his
flying leg lariat here, but only because it came across like Cairo just hurling
his body at Stetson rather than specifically his legs. Stetson hits a nice
flying clothesline and uses his Pennsylvania title for the match winning belt shot.
Salvatore Bellomo vs the Wolfman
Hilariously, Joey Styles uses this match to illustrate how
much the ECW crowd love Bellomo, as he wrestles to not much reaction. This was
terrible, two lumbering oafs throwing weak blows, exchanging some scarcely applied
holds (witness Bellomo’s Camel Clutch where he can barely be bothered to hold
Wolfman’s head) and the Wolfman adds some ineffectual biting. Just so bad, but
thankfully short before Bellomo gets the win with a splash.
