I like to keep my PPV purchases to a monthly minimum in this Great Recession I decided to forgo No Way Out and support the Indy scene this past weekend. While on the subject let me again remind you of the abundance of independent promotions in Cali. You can easily get your wrestling fix in the Golden State, but I digress. I found myself in Sacramento (at the invite of Ultragirl Brittany Wonder. Thanx sista!) at the monthly Supreme Pro Wrestling show. I love the fact that a large portion of the performers are graduates or trainers at SPW training school. This turns it from simply a show into a full on showcase. We must protect this house!!!....Excuse me. Feeling it there.
My attention was caught from the start of the opening match, as it should be. I was surprised and delighted that the show kicked off with Pro Wrestling Illustrated Indy Wrestler to Watch Perry Von Vicious. Despite the high spot of the match going to Brittany Wonder the win went to Von Vicious. Solid match to kick off the show. This match was followed up 15 minutes of pure innovation and creativity. Funny what happens when you let guys have adequate time to tell a story with their match (talking to you WWE creative). Between Virgil Flynn & D-Torch and the Code Warriors I had my locked my picks for most awesome ring attire and innovative move set of the night. Video games and Power Rangers turned me into a 4th grader for a few minutes. Thanks fellas.
Jr Kratos might have been in the mid-card but manage to grab the audience in a kung fu grip from the second he walked down the ramp. If this recent grad of the SPW academy get a little more polish on his technique you could be looking at the next hot name in the industry. If the E wants a do over on the Camacho character I know a guy. My throwback mark out moment of the night......former ECW Tag-Team Champion Mustafa Saed. Try not to make the X with your hands, I dare you. Match of the night, hands down can be no one else but Cjay Kurz and Joe DeSoul! SPW Extreme Title match with a randomly drawn gimmick. Besides DeSoul having the coolest ring music of the show he provided the sickest spot of the evening. These two literally brought down the house, being that their match covered the entire building only ending with the loser being locked outside for a full 10 count. Damn fine show gents! Very rarely do I get nervous around mere mortals but I had to do a double take when the Reno Scum hit the ramp. You ever get that sinking feeling that a meth lab is about to get robbed or some minorities are about to get beaten up? That about describes my feelings during the match that saw The Reno Scum retain their SPW Tag-Team Titles. In the SPW Championship main event match raining champ Bobby Hart held on to the biggest prize in the company. The champ was overshadowed by his challenger Rik Luxury. This dude oozes charisma and held the crowd for the entire match.
The show and the finished product of the Supreme Pro Wrestling Academy get the get the thumbs from this fan. OVW could stand to send a few of their players out west to get an extra dose of heart before hitting the big stage. Remember to keep your ears to the street and eyes on the web for the next indy show in your area. Support the foundation. Your favorite wrestler started somewhere. Holla back
