Tonight, the EWA Presented "The Full Revolution 3" on Pay Per View. Without further ado, here is the recap:
The show opens with the usual hype, followed by Myst in the back being interviewed about Rob DiMarco. He basically gives Sakyo a stern warning for not following his lead, and threatens to get both him and Arthryn back come later on tonight.
Alright interview. Not the way I would have chosen to start the Pay Per View, but not bad. Myst is kind of a wild card right now, I wonder how he'll effect the Japanese Death Match between Arthryn and Kyuma later on.
Ethan Tyler is seated in the upper deck. A kid walks up to him, and he gives the kid his autograph.
Looks like Ethan Tyler is back, and probably going face. SMELL THE RATINGS!
Divine d Shawn Rocker via small package to retain his North American title. After the match, he and Tito kiss much to the disgust of the fans.
Ok match, nothing special. This whole homosexuality routine from Divine just doesn't do it for me. I also have no idea who Davy Jones is, but I assume he's the next to fued with Divine. Not really Pay Per View worthy material if you ask me.
More "coming home" stuff.
Well $hit, I think I'm wrong. It's not Chandler, it's ET!
The official for the main event, Lee Flemming, finds Tom Stone and Scott Hunter and warns them against any monkey business for the main event, they basically blow him off.
A pretty pointless segment, and since when did Scott Hunter and Tom Stone become so buddy/buddy?
Sakyo Kyuma interview.
Once again, this should have been saved for the pre-match. He basically talks junk about Arthryn, and responds to Myst's warning. Nothing really worthwhile.
The 10 man Television title clusterf*ck ends in a no contest after Jay Flash, new look and all, shows up and destroys everyone.
A nothing match showing the lack of depth at the bottom of the roster. Stone could do some good by giving a good number of wrestlers their pink slips. Hopefully Jay Flash will take advantage of what looks to be a small push.
I'm coming....I'm coming....I'm coming....I'm coming....I'm coming....
You know, I think Chandler f*cked up and accidentally inserted an old porn tape of him and Tabitha when he was putting this little vido together....$hit happens.
Deuce retires.
Basically the same thing as Vinny D, but I don't buy it. He's been putting in WAAAAAY too much effort to just leave now, right when he was finally starting to get somewhere again. This is definitely leading somewhere, where that is, I have no idea.
Lee Flemming goes to warn Raines about foul play in their match tonight, only to have the lights go out, and to be tied upside down from the ceiling by a rope when they come back on.
Hehehe, I got a good laugh out of this.
Myst and Sakyo Kyuma confront each other backstage. Myst offers some sort of agreement, and extends his hand. Kyuma is tentative, but shakes it eventually. Things seem awefully shaky.
This one is kinda hard to follow, as they are making things a bit too complicated. Kind of a filler segment if you ask me.
Vinny D and "Crystal Clear" Cody Covington d Nomad and Eric Walther after c4 hits Clearly Crippling off the balcony through a stack of tables. He got the pin at the same time Nomad hit the Journey's End on Vinny D, and the ref chose to count c4's pin instead of Nomad's.
Very good match, with a nice ending. Having c4 as the mystery partner wasn't what I expected, but I liked the choice. I'm not sure whether this tag team fued is going to continue, or whether they'll split up with Nomad and c4 and Vinny D and Walther, but either way it should be money.
He's coming again.
ENOUGH ALREADY......THAT DAMN LOGO TAKES TOO LONG TO LOAD. WE GET THE POINT CHANDLER....YOU'RE COMING, AND YOU'RE GOING TO KICK ALL OF OUR ASSES.
Arthryn d Sakyo Kyuma via Lights Out B!tch onto Explosives to become the NEW Extreme Champion. During the match, Myst came out to help Kyuma, only to be thwarted by The Question.
AWESOME MATCH. I liked the booking of it too, as it looks like we'll get something between Myst and The Question now, while hopefully both Arthryn and Kyuma move on to bigger, and better things.
Ethan Tyler's seat is empty.
Uh oh, the plot thickens.
CHANDLER COMES HOME!!!!!!!!!! *orgasms*. He is in the rafters. He tells everyone that he's been in Japan for the last 4 months, working for APPW, and that he was kept off tv due to the tragedy of September 11th. He ends his speech by saying that he's hear to extract revenge for a friend that got screwed.
Ok, I'll be serious about Chandler's comeback now. I liked this a lot, because it leaves us wondering what he was talking about. Chandler doesn't have many friends after all.
Scott Hunter d Holden Raines via DQ. Ethan Tyler is announced as the special guest referee. Hunter has the match won when the lights go out, and a doll of The Dark Angel is hung above the ring. He has the match won a second time, whent he lights go out again, and Johnny Hardcore is there in the ring. He nails Hunter in the head with a lead pipe, causing the DQ. Hardcore then charges Tyler, who ducks, and hits him with Illegal in 48 states. Total pandemonium as the show ends.
Much to everyone's shock, I liked this. Hunter gets screwed, but that sets him up as the sympathetic face who SHOULD get another shot sometime in the future. Ethan Tyler turns face, and to be honest, I thought he would allign with Raines and Hardcore to form a new triple threat. I'm glad this didn't happen. I really liked the sequence at the end of the match, with the two blackouts. It really was a good way to end the PPV.
OVERALL: Good PPV. As always, there were good points, and there were bad points. The matches were solid for the most part, some solid angles were either started or continued, and basically while this wasn't the STRONGEST show in the present tense, it seems to have done a great job in setting the EWA up for the future.
