UWA New Beginnings - 04.15.05

A new guy, Mike Moros, comes out to start the show off. He says he's the new GM and is granting Outlaw a rematch against Calypso from the 04.09.05 match.

Outlaw Vs Calypso (UWA Heavyweight Title)
Outlaw has new music - it's gangsta’. Calypso has Mike, the special ref, check on Outlaw for weapons only to attack Calypso for the start. Calypso stomps on Outlaw, then hits a suplex, followed by two high elbow drops, but that only gets two. Outlaw gets tossed and hit with a Kobashi Clothesline from Calypso, who follows with a jumping knee to the back, then steps on Outlaw's chest for good measure. Calypso misses an elbow off the ladder, and Outlaw follows up with a high angle dropkick. Outlaw with a headlock, but gets tossed out, only to hit Calypso with a clothesline, and then a sidekick. That only gets two. Calypso into to the ladder, then a stiff shot to the ribs. Outlaw goes for another headlock, but Calypso backdrops his way out. Calypso puts in a modified sharpshooter type thing, it's hard to describe, but Outlaw fights out only to be rammed into the gas pipe. Calypso with a stiff chop, then followed by a huge running knee from Calypso, followed by a DDT which gets two. Stiff kicks to Outlaw's back, followed by an elbow drop for two. Calypso locks in a single Boston Crab, then falls back and locks the leg for added pressure as we cut to commercial break. We're joined in progress with Calypso working on the leg more with legdrops and elbow drops on Outlaw's leg. Calypso climbs the ladder and misses a splash, and Outlaw runs in with the elbow, followed by a bulldog, which gets a two. Outlaw locks in the sharpshooter, but Calypso gets to the ropes and Outlaw breaks the hold. Outlaw gives Calypso a chance to get up, which proves to be a mistake as Calypso nails Outlaw with a huge superkick. More stiff kicks from Calypso, followed by a running knee to the fact. Outlaw kicks out at two and goes for the Lights Out, but Calypso fights out and catches him with the F5 for the three count.
(7:13) **1/2 Decent enough opener but Outlaw didn't sell too much and the leg work didn't really go anywhere.
Winner and Still Champion: Calypso

(8:35) *** Both men really put a lot of effort into the match and hit all their spots, but it was lacking some flow and transitions. The score is now 1-0, Gage.
Winner: Gage

Scott Slavins, Gage, Outlaw, and the newcomer Steiner come out for a fatal four way match for the #1 contender spot against Calypso on the next show. Calypso comes out though and said he wants to wrestle one more time tonight, so he proposes a five way match, with the winner getting a title shot, but if Calypso wins he gets the week off title-shot wise. The promo itself is the oddest one in UWA history, with everyone chanting 'You got served' at the champ. Calypso ran down every wrestler, telling how he's better than them, to which Slavins replies, "How about we beat your mom?” So, the match is a five way dance.

Calypso tosses Slavins into the ropes and turns a headscissors into a sidewalk slam. Calypso picks up the near-dead Slavins and hits the F5 for the pin.
(13:26) *** It was a fun brawl with pretty much non-stop action, but the ending fell a little flat considering the final two, but everything else was entertaining enough.

Decent show from the UWA, not the best but there's a lot of good stuff in here along with the debut of Steiner and the new GM. Thumbs up since there's nothing too offensive.
