Review:

The show opens up with Scott and Tony Khan getting to talking but Don Callis comes out to talk about the potential Triple Threat with Callihan, Moose and Omega by trying to convince both of them that Sami Callihan. The two owners actually… come to the agreement that Callihan won’t be in the championship match. Moose against Kenny Omega at Against All Odds.

…whoever wins, gets Sami Callihan at Slammiversary!

Havok vs Rosemary-

Since both these ladies are so familiar with each other, Rosemary takes it early win two Spears and locks in a Chancery hold but Havok breaks out and lets out her aggression. After a bit of craze and bedlam going on and Rosemary actually miracles a win so Havok will not be part of the Knockout’s Championship match this Saturday.
(Aftermath: Susan, Deonna and Kimber beat down Havok and Rosemary and Susan demands Tasha comes down for the match against Tasha that was scheduled)

Tasha Steelz vs Kimber Lee-

Tasha has a quick and fiery advantage but the strength of Kimber comes into play and takes it to Steelz, pillar to post. Tasha actually comes back with her own strikes to get some distance but Kimber uses her strength again to take it to her smaller opponent. When Kimber goes to the sky though, Tasha capitalizes on the opportunity by finishing Kimber Lee with a driver.

Petey Williams & Trey Miguel vs Chris Bey & Rohit Raju-

Petey and Rohit start it off and is very back and forth so in comes a little more speed than technical with tags from both sides. More and more tags to everyone comes in as more speed and hitting comes in from every side. Trey showed the most offense for his team, taking a lot of them down during the match, even 2 on 1s and sooner, rather than later, locks a armbar and gets the win for his team.
(Aftermath: Ace Austin comes in with Mad Man Fulton and tries to stack the deck in his favor but Josh Alexander comes in to even the odds and everyone helps out to do an Avalanche Canadian Destroyer with a double powerbomb to hopefully eliminate Madman from the match this Saturday.)

Joe Doering vs Eddie Edwards –

Joe takes it early to Eddie, basically man handling him in all corners. Doering absolutely takes Eddie apart with strikes and laying into Eddie with his weight but Eddie gets a burst of energy and suplexes Joe to separate himself from Doering but VBD comes in and attacks Eddie to get a disqualification.
(Aftermath: VBD attack Eddie more and more but Kojima runs in to run off VBD and hits a Cozy Lariat to take Joe Doering out of the ring.)

W. Morrissey vs Willie Mack-

Morrissey gets the first blood by hitting Mack with a punch and even uses a personal Balaz favorite with a Foot Choke in the corner. Even though Willie gets a punch or two in, Morrissey hits harder and goes to the outside to continue the beat down. Willie gets the separation and uses the weapons first with a chain and chair. Willie gives a good amount of offense but Morrissey shows how ruthless he is with chair shots (Aye we got another viewer) and digging the chair against Willie’s face. Morrissey gets too much hubris though and Willie gets a measure of revenge with the chair. Willie goes to get the Six Star on to Morrissey with a chair but misses, more things ensue but a Big Boot with the chair in the face to Willie and a Massive win for the Massive man.
(Aftermath: Morrissey tries to do more damage to Willie but Rich comes out to stop him and security attempts to break them up. Swann gets hit with a Stinger Splash but Swann gets the last laugh with a Chairshot as the show ends.)

Final Thoughts:

This was a pretty damn good show. Not going to lie. It even started with Tony Khan and I didn’t push it away. I like the fact they are making Moose and Kenny a one on one, I like that they acknowledged the fact that Sami has been on the rise and will give him the grand stage of a Championship match. A lot of things are looking good. My one and only gripe is having too many potential multi-wrestler matches. They teased Callihan to be in the championship match, they teased Jessica Havok to be in the Knockout’s match, there is a five way for the number one contender for the X Division championship. I know you want to try and make it exciting but, you don’t need multiple multi matches.

Other than that, it was a good wrap up show. Hopefully Against All Odds will live up to the hype that the last show had and be a great way to start Slammiversary.
