UWA 04.02.06 - UWAGAY(ge)

We open the show with a Gage promo in which he "kind of wants a title shot." He demands a title match, which brings out the AAR. Slavins stands in the middle of the ring on a chair and reads a poem that his dear distant cousin who recently died wrote. After the reading, Gage says his time was wasted and demands his title shot. Moros says the match isn't happening until he goes through "PT Bruiser." The match begins.

Gage Vs Prototype (Singles)
A little trash talk starts the match, and the AAR is at ringside. Both men lock up and Gage rolls out of it and tosses PT. Another lock up sees a Gage headlock, but Slavins distracts Gage and PT hits a backdrop and a suplex. He follows up with the Protowhatever but only gets a two. Gage gets up and argues with the AAR. Prototype says he has a bronze penis. Lockup again and PT goes down with a knee. Prototype rolls up Gage after taking an aeroplane spin then hits the Protodriver, but gets low blowed when he goes for the pin. Gage locks the crossface, so Slavins covers the ref's face and Moros pulls PT's hand to the ropes. Gage stomps on PT in the gut then hits a backdrop of his own for two. Slavins pays the ref off as Prototype hits an elbow from the ladder followed by a knee to the back as we take a break. We come back with PT hitting a DVD and a leg drop. He hits an elbow drop off the chair and calls Slavins the best wrestler alive. PT locks in a Walls of Prototype on the chair and hits a low blow. Slavins runs in and stomps on Slavins and Prototype slams Gage on his knee. PT applies an STPT and then the ProtoCurbStomp. Slavins brings in the chair and helps PT spank Gage. PT debuts the ProAgra. Gage misses a clothesline in anger but eventually pounds on PT and a nasty looking curb stomp. Gage applies a crossface chicken wing, but PT doesn't give. PT hits the ProtoPowerBomb and then puts Gage in a Protoboard. Gage spears PT down and follows up with the Spinning TKO. Gage goes for the TKO but Slavins hits him with the tennis racket in the back, calling for the DQ. (7:56) Slavins hits him with the belt and then a spear. Calypso runs in and nails Slavins with a chair and runs Prototype off. Probably Prototype's best singles match to date, but, it still wasn't a classic. It was entertaining for what it was, and was mostly used to set up an angle. It served it's purpose well. **

Slavins and Calypso argue about how the AAR always beats up Gage. Calypso steals the belt and Mike Moros sets up a 15-Minute Tag Team Ironman match between the AAR and Calypso/Gage.

All-American Rejects Vs Calypso/Gage (15 Minute Ironman)
Slavins and Calypso start out. Slavins flops after rolling around and Calypso goes for the pin...for two. They grapple and Calypso tosses Slavins off, but gets caught in a headlock. Calypso tosses him but Slavins slides out. Another grapple sees a headlock takedown by Slavins, a nice reversal sequence ending with Calypso dodging a dropkick. Slavins works on the arm though with stomps and kicks. He snaps it over his shoulder and tags in Prototype who puts Calypso in a hammerlock which Calypso reverses for a two count. Protoplex on Calypso and a reverse DDT gets two. PT hits a legdrop over the arm of a standing Calypso and hits a curbstomp. Gage breaks up the STPT, and Calypso hits a back body drop and tags in Gage. Gage double stomps PT's arm and puts him a backbreaker. We take a break and come back with Slavins smashing Gage's arm over a chair. Slavins hits a shoulder tackle, misses a clothesline, and hits a dropkick on Gage. Slavins stomps on the arm and hits a single arm DDT and smashes it down again. Slavins hits a few stiff punches and hits the Shining Wizard. Slavins tosses Gage into the ropes but gets dropkicked for his troubles and a suplex for fun. Two of them, actually. Gage tags in Calypso who puts him in the legscissors, Slavins kips out, climbs the ladder, kicks Calypso in the stomach, hits the DDT, and locks in the Dragon Sleeper.

After the match, PT takes Gage to the back and both men brawl until Gage hits him with a stick. This match had a couple of stories within itself; mostly Calypso's experience versus PT's youth (throughout the match PT would mess up and Calypso would easily take over the match and make sure PT knew he messed up. Slavins and Gage also continued the feud as well. It was a fun match and the 15 minutes really flew by. ***

We go to break and come back with Slavins hitting Calypso in the back with the chair and Moros laughing at him. Slavins hits a tornado DDT on the chair off the ladder, but only gets two. Slavins suplexes the ref and powerbombs him ontop of Calypso, followed by a suplex ontop of Calypso. Slavins does a doublestomp on Calypso, then bounces off Calypso to the ref.

Slavins goes for a headscissors, Calypso takes him down, locks in a headscissors; Slavins tries to roll out of it and Calypso holds it in for the three count! (16:57) After the match, Slavins Rock Bottoms the ref and says the loss doesn't matter since it was no DQ. While not as good as their Ironman match back in January, it wasn't meant to be. It got half the time and was more about getting over the fact that the AAR isn't invincible. And it also helped get over the fact that, even after a loss, the AAR thinks they are unstoppable. Calypso, however, overcame the odds, despite being cheated multiple times. It's rare to see a fluke win such as this in UWA, which makes it all the more interesting since Slavins obviously never expected it. Calypso also shows a sign of shock after getting the three as well. This was a very over-booked match towards the end, but it made sense. The AAR will do anything to win...but sometimes that's not enough. Calypso needed a win like this as it's his first single's win in 2006...and what better way to win than by beating the champion. The match itself was very good and they managed to work without difficulty despite the rain at the beginning of the match (it stopped about half-way through) and the wet ring in the later portions. Overbooked for a UWA match, yes, but just as entertaining. It was something new and, that's what matters. ****

Overall, we got a really solid show with each match being better than the previous one. And each match flowed easily into the next one and it felt like everything was tightly streamlined in a sense. It was a very different show and it also took place on the day of Wrestlemania XXII. Who would have guessed Sports Entertainment would take over? While I wouldn't want the UWA doing something like this every show, it was a nice change of pace and the action never stopped. The matches were entertaining, the promos were fun, and the forty-seven minutes the show lasts flies by. High recommendation for this.
