UWA 11.05.06 Show Review - Kick 'Em in the Taint

Just a couple of weeks off the big Deadly Draw II show, UCW returns to UWA in hopes of regaining some lost ground after the last two shows. Can UWA stop UCW once again or will the back to back losses motivate UCW more than UWA predicted?

Scott Slavins and Prototype, the AAR, come out to cut a promo. It should be noted that this is the first time the AAR has come out together since April. Prototype has somewhat of a gangster look, for some strange reason. Prototype demands the music to be stopped then points out that Mike Moros left the AAR to join Calypso. He mentions that he's not on either side of UCW or UWA as he simply loves wrestling and both federations have helped him a lot. Oddly enough, Prototype joined UCW during the UWA break. Prototype asks for a title shot which prompts the UWA Undisputed and Heavyweight Champion Calypso, with Mike Moros, to come out. Calypso welcomes PT back to the UWA and mentions how the last time we saw PT he got knocked the fuck out by Calypso. Calypso pulls out some history and brings up 2 Out of 3 Falls from 2005. Calypso then says he doesn't "give a fuck" which side Prototype chooses. That Prototype hasn't done anything and hasn't earned anything. But, Calypso, being the fighting champion, he's going to give him the title shot. Calypso announces the main event which is an Open Elimination match for the Undisputed Championship. And the match begins.

Calypso(c) Vs Prototype (UWA Heavyweight Championship):
Both men grapple and Calypso hits a backbreaker for two. Calypso pounds the back of Prototype, followed by a knee and a kick to the face. This is also the first time these two have had a singles match in the UWA, though they had one in UCW. Calypso uppercuts Prototype for two. Big suplex and a kick to the stomach. It's mentioned that the AAR has been around one year to the day. A suplex is followed by a roaring elbow and a set of knees. Gutwrench to Prototype but PT slaps Calypso and gets some stuff forearms and a suplex to take control. PT locks in the PTFU but Calypso gets the ropes quickly. Calypso rolls out and Moros fans him off with the shovel. Another grapple, Calypso goes for the backdrop but PT reverses hit into a rolling headlock and followed by some stiff kicks to the back. Calypso rolls to the outside once again. PT chases Calypso but runs into a forearm, but PT fights back. PT goes for a powerbomb but Calypso reverses it into an Emerald Fusion. Both men crawl to their feet and exchange slaps until Calypso punches the stomach and hits a DVD for two. Prototype is now bleeding as well. Calypso drops about four knees onto the back and ribs of Prototype and then one to the upper neck and another roaring forearm. Calypso locks in a pretty nasty camel clutch right into the Curb Stomp. A big splash gets two. Calypso headbutts Prototype multiple times until he goes down. Calypso misses a diving elbow off the ladder, allowing Prototype to work on the leg of Calypso. PT eventually gets about fifteen kicks to the legs, ribs, and arms of Calypso and the champion is down! Calypso hits the Proagra and Calypso rolls out of the ring as Moros fans him off. Calypso gets a kick to the gut though but gets Clothesline. PT tells a bedtime story and Calypso is knocked out! Calypso has no reaction to Prototype's offense as he's deadweight and lifeless. PT climbs the ladder and hits the legdrop. PT hits a springboard Proagra which wakes up the champion. Calypso gets up and follows up with nine taint kicks and a ShellShock for three. (12:33) ** After the match, Moros shovels PT out of the ring. Decent enough match but it was mostly a squash. PT got some token offense in and proved to be tough, but once again he ended up looking stupid for not following up with the Bedtime Story. Calypso showed his new confidence, however, and that was the main point; the put over Moros/Calypso and prove that the losing streak of Calypso is over.

The Unbearable One comes out and says that he got his "ass flipped in the air" by Josh Bobb. He refuses to go down like that, however, and wants Bobb one-on-one. The UCW Heavyweight and Tag Team Champion comes out. Josh Bobb accepts the challenge.

Josh Bobb(c) Vs The Unbearable One (UCW Heavyweight):
Unbearable One charges but gets brushed off by Bobb. Unbearable one attacks from behind, but Bobb rolls over him and tosses him off easily. Staredown but a headbutt sends Unbearable down. Bobb hits a tombstone and unbearable lands right on his head. Bobb climbs the ladder and hits a big splash for two. Bobb hits a big suplex and a huge kick to the taint. Unbearable One gets Bobb Dropping Out and then a reverse BobbDrop. Unbearable fights out of a Powerbomb and hits a lowblow but gets caught in a chokeslam. Josh Bobb hits a powerbomb and goes for the 12 Gun Salute. Bobb just tosses Unbearable One and hits a bodyslam for the two count. Unbearable One rakes the eyes and hits the arm drag, leg drop, and reverse DDT. Unbearable climbs the ladder and hits the elbow for ONE! Unbearable One goes for a Stroke but Bobb blocks it and hits the Bobb Bottom! Bobb hits the People Elbow for two! A DDT is followed by an attempt at the Twist of Fate but Unbearable One moves out and hits an Evenflow DDT and a senton elbow. Bobb powers out though and hits a legdrop and teabags him for good measure. Bobb nails Unbearable One with the chair. Bobb dropkicks the chair into the knees of the Unbearable One. Bobb hits a piledriver on the chair and Bobb pins him with one leg while sitting on the chair for the three count. (8:00) * A total squash and nobody believed for a second that Bobb would lose. Probably not the best match to have as the first UCW-only match in the UWA. Oh well.

Bobb comes out with the Bear and says that he's being forced to defend his title but the General isn't there. So the Bear has replaced The General. Scott Slavins comes out alone and says that, "due to an unforeseen asskicking", Prototype can't wrestle this match. So to replace Prototype is the newest member of the AAR...GAGE!

Damn fine match, though plodding at some points. ****

Calypso(c) Vs Prototype Vs Scott Slavins Vs Gage Vs Josh Bobb Vs The Bear Vs The Unbearable One (Undisputed Championship)

(42:20) After the match, Gage and Calypso stare one another down and shake hands.

Damn fine match that really seemed like six or seven separate matches. The first twenty minutes or so saw everyone taking turns wearing everyone down and looking out only for them. Then Gage and Slavins battled one another leading to Gage winning. The we had a mini-match between Gage and the Unbearable One which Gage also won. Bear and Josh Bobb then had their own match, with Bobb clearly upset that the Bear lost the UCW tag titles. Bobb would win that one. This, along with the tag match, shows that while the Bear is a tough son of a bitch, he's focused soley on beating people up. He makes very few, if any pinfalls, like a Bear. Prototype would attempt to defeat Josh Bobb quickly after. Bobb won that, once again, with the Brippler Bobbface. So that move is also established as something to fear. Calypso quickly came in and attacked Josh Bobb with a chair, using everything he could to take out Josh Bobb. While Calypso won this "match", he had to use chairs and cheap tatics. Kind of like what he did at UCW Invasion. Not to mention Josh Bobb just battled The Bear and Prototype. The final two men, Gage and Calypso, destroyed one another. While they did some crazy stuff in the finals of the Deadly Draw, they took it over the top with these finals, using ladders and chairs like headlocks and armbars. This was probably the most hardcore thing UWA has ever done and it was exciting as hell because you honestly had no idea how they could top what they had just done. Calypso's last two title defenses have been huge multi-man matches, yes, but they have been some of the best UWA has ever done and this one had so many stories intertwined along with an incredible last ten minutes, you HAVE to see this match. ****1/2

Overall: This show was just great. You have a pretty interesting angle going on between the AAR with Prototype sort of getting booted unofficially for Gage and Prototype trying to prove himself. Calypso's maniac ways led him to two title defenses in one show with the Heavyweight match being entertaining and the Undisputed match being amazing. We also got a great tag team match and new tag champs. Two ****+ matches and just a fun show all around, with the only downer being Bobb/Unbearable (which, even then, the commentary is fun and the match is only 8 minutes), you HAVE to see this show. Highest recommendation.
