Mac Attack



By Jonathan McMahon


First off, welcome to The Dirtsheet. I'm proud to be affiliated with this, and at the same time, I'm proud to be writing this for all of you to see/read/laugh at. Let me start off with a few things...

Before we start, congrats to Jonathan "The Impact" Storm from reaching the 102 win mark. He's probably one of the most underrated competitors in this circuit, and the guy takes bumps like it's nothing. He got win 102 in big fashion at The Big Japan Classic, which I'm here to review.

Anyways, the show had a hot opener with Julian Dreamwalker and Virus. Julian's got a lot of work to do to prove that he deserved his singles push, and he's not just a tag competitor. Virus pulled off a spectacular win, and he's the most underrated NYSWF competitor. I expect huge things from him, and I wasn't disappointed later in the night.

Then around came Shawn Hunter and Spyke facing Xtreme and Krow. Mediocre tag match, with the stablemates Xtreme and Krow picking up the win. To be honest, I'm not a fan of those guys, and their push, if they're getting one, better be for a really good reason. Hunter looked a little sluggish, but Spyke really showed me something. I like his style.

Angel has to be one of the most hardcore competitors in the company. Bumping like she did for Dark Messiah showed that she's a hell of an athlete. I was shocked she didn't advance, but she's following up her performance by drawing NOTHING as an opponent this weekend. That's a huge reward, and a a sign for things to come for young Skie Taylor. Messiah, on the other hand, proved me wrong. I had Loco Martinez picked as the tourney winner, and Messiah as a struggling guy, but nonetheless, a top star for the future. This only speeds up the process...but I have to see how he'd hold up against the veterans of the company. I'll be waiting for the Boden/Messiah, or even Storm/Messiah match.

The returns of Jason Phoenix and Execution shocked everyone, and nobody saw it coming. Maybe they can propel themselves to the next level this time around...I see Spiral/Dreamwalker vs. Ex/Phoenix at the Supercard...hopefully it'll be worth watching.

Speaking of Spiral, it was good to see him put Sigel Pheonix over in the street fight. Nothing spectacular there, but it shows that Sigel has arrived. I look forward to more of him.

Nightmare and Loco took each other to the limits, in what stole the show. I personally believe it was match of the night, and it set the pace for what's going to be a good main event run for Nightmare. Nightmare's had a good run training for this level, and Collins has a strong main eventer in this guy.

Was I the only one disappointed by the OCW deathmatch? It ended a bit abruptly, but NOTHING and Jon bumped like mad for each other. I wasn't disappointed with the results, but I really wish they would've used a bit more of what they had. They did have the spot of the night, with the DDT through the glass. They did show some wrestling skills, with the big time reversals and ability to still draw a crowd with their charisma. If Jon doesn't take the next level up, I'm going to be disappointed.

Azazel and Rune was a bit of a bore to watch, as I never viewed either as a huge draw, but now I'm looking forward to the Virus/Azazel feud brewing from all of it. Maybe even Rune/Sigel? Who knows, but I expect it to be worth watching.

Finally, Messiah and Nightmare went nuts on each other, and the two of them displayed their skills to the fullest. It was a violent match, and something I had to rewind the tape to watch it a few times. Each of these guys deserved to be there, but that's in the class of rookies. The real factor of whether or not either has arrived will happen when they face the veterans.

Overall, this PPV was definitely proof that the NYSWF is alive and well, despite rumours of the opposite. Without further adieu...The Mack's first ever NYSWF Honour Roll.

5) Jonathan Storm- A spectacular win, following up an excellent whirlwind two weeks for Jon. I expect a good follow up to him this weekend against Sigel.

4) Angel- This girl's got herself another tough challenge, but if she can turn away NOTHING, I expect her to be right in the running for Storm's Lightweight Title, or Messiah's World Title

3) Loco Martinez- Hey, he's the longest reigning champ in the NYSWF currently...gonna argue with that?

2) Nightmare- He bumps, he bruises, he's wrestling this weekend. I won't argue, but I'll stand back in awe.

1) Dark Messiah- A brittle hold on #1. I don't know how long he'll stay, but I hope it's a while.

That's all from me this week. Next week, I'll recap this follow up weekend..
