Hmmm� ok, maybe that�s a little harsh. The NPWA does not suck. In fact, it�s quite good, but now that I have the second edition of Sabotage under my TV-viewing belt, I must say that I am not nearly as impressed as I was last week. However, before I start tearing into the NPWA, let�s take a look at the one thing that I really feel it has going for it. The wrestling.

Azmyth kicked off the night�s matches by absolutely dismantling Quintin �Q� Lucas, ending with the Blackout through a chair. A good ol� fashioned assbeating is always fun to watch, and so was this match. The Paladin and DJ Deadly followed that up by putting on quite a show, especially considering how low the match was in the card. Paladin scored the win, and it�ll be interesting to see where Chang puts him in next week�s booking. Throw in two simply amazing tag-team matches that would be Main Event material anywhere else and the brutal baseball bat match, and I admit that the NPWA may have the best wrestling in our circuit. But� and this is a but as big as J-Lo�s� what the hell was up with those promos?

Ok, ok, I know Miss Chang�s been hyping the sex and violence of the NPWA, but seriously, if I wanted to watch cheap porno, then I�d� well, I�d watch cheap porno! Having Haywood nail Christina Knight on camera didn�t serve any purpose at all except to show Haywood nailing Christina Knight. It didn�t push an angle, it didn�t serve a purpose, and it seemed completely out of place to me. Yeah, so Draven stole his clothes, big deal. I mean, five minutes later, Haywood is getting crippled in the hallway by Smirt, and then he�s back getting down and dirty with no rags? Either the NPWA accidentally ran some footage that was scheduled for later in the night, or they are simply trying too hard to do too much. Venom bumping into Kanyon, Draven hawking Jublome�s clothes, Smirt�s encounter with Sanders, and Haywood arguing with Willmott, it was all just too much. If you were to take out all of that from Sabotage, I don�t think anyone would have noticed, and in fact, it probably would have made it a better show.

Now, not everything seemed over the top. Ray Willmott pulled off a great promo, and made the crowd hate him even more. The Latino Powers entertained as always, and Sean Boden�s search for a partner made his big battle with Tryst seem even more deadly than it already is. That�s the kind of television that I tune in to see, and that�s the kind of television that the NPWA needs to push. Hopefully tonight on Malice they�ll change their ways, or at least tone it down a bit.

Tone it down a bit? Geez, I never thought that I�d ever say that about wrestling. Anyways, that�s enough about the NPWA, let�s get to the other big two, starting with the EWA. A solid card and an impressive Main Event made the first Warfare in a year and a half a resounding success. There�s already plenty of people going over the matches and such in various other articles that you could read here on The Dirtsheet, so I�ll simply call it an amazing show and leave it at that.

Now to the NYSWF. First off, I must say congratulations to Jonathon Storm. With his defeat of NOTHING at the BJC� 01, and his win over the rising Sigel Pheonix on Sunday Night Heat, I think Collins is finally starting to give him that final, big push. And this new gimmick of his may be the one that leads him straight into the NYSWF World Championship, and I think that he�ll undoubtedly bring some respect back to that belt. Not to say that Dark Messiah isn�t a respectable wrestler, because he is, and when he was first crowned champion I had high hopes for him. But he wasn�t �on his game� against Krow, and title match or non-title match, the World Champ ALWAYS has to be �on his game�. Jonathon Storm is, and so is one Loco Martinez, and that�s why I feel that those two could be looking at a feud, and the World title, very soon.

Well, that�s all for this week�s edition of Wrevelations. Now all you little marks out there can start flaming me for bashing the NPWA, but at least I have the balls to diss on something besides the NYSWF. Anyways, it�s still one helluva time to be a wrestling fan.
