UWA 07.07.05

The concept of this show is simple...Mike Moros hates Calypso and is willing to do anything to get the title off him. There's also a couple of other matches as well.

Gage Vs Scott Slavins (Match 4 in the Best of Five)
Slavins is leading the series 2-1 right now, so Gage has to win or Slavins will win the series.

Gage rolls out of it again and hits the Spinning TKO for the three count! (14:44) After the match, Slavins hits Gage with a chair. It was a good match and told a good story, mostly Slavins working on the arm, but if Gage was going to win he needed a lot more offense in. The match was all Slavins and it looked like Gage won by fluke, which hurt the match. ***1/2

(16:05) While not as bad as the 05.20.05 match, it also wasn't as entertaining. There was improvement from last time, and the commentary made the match watchable. Steiner's injury really changed the face of the match, I'm sure and it left Sarge, the least experienced, to carry the match. While Outlaw has the most experience in the match, he's not one to carry a match. They all tried, however, and you can't fault them for that. *

Calypso promo, one of the longest in the UWA thus far. Calypso talks about how Moros hates him and how he's willing to do anything he has to in order to keep his title.

The Deadly Draw
The rules to this match are simple, really. Calypso starts out with Sarge and every five minutes another wrestler comes out. The match ends if anybody pins Calypso, but in order for Calypspo to win he has to outlaw everybody. Calypso does have the advantage of not having wrestled a match prior to this one, however. This match also marks the first encounter of Calypso and Sarge, and the debut of Calypso's orange hair.

Calypso poses then tosses Sarge into the ropes and we get a double clothesline as Outlaw comes out. Joe takes his time to the ring and clotheslines Sarge. Outlaw stomps on Sarge and hits a suplex.

Calypso picks up Gage and hits him with the F5 for the three count! (21:26)

To be totally honest, the match wasn't all that great. The match went downhill after the Gage moonsault spot and even then the match was only decent. It did, however, tell a few stories. Calypso tried to keep things slow, knowing he would have to wrestle the longest in order to win, while everybody else tried their best to hit their biggest and best moves on the champ, which is why the match didn't last as long as you might first think. Everybody was hitting the big moves as opposed to trying to wrestle the champ. Gage came out and acted differently than we've ever seen him, which plays along with the promo he cut after his match saying that Slavins has made him do things he's never done before. Slavins played his part well, practically running away from Gage, which cost him the match in the long run. Outlaw and Sarge looked better in this match than they did in their own match, though I would have liked to seem them sort of continue their match in this one, but they didn't get much of a chance as they were so focused on the champion. Even with all the story-telling in the match though, the wrestling simply wasn't that great. Everybody seemed to be having an off night of sorts, especially Slavins, and the ending just felt flat. **

Overall, the show is just 'ok'. They went for an epic battle and got a disjointed mess for a match. I would like to see them try it again though, hopefully with a little bit of planning. I'm sure the 80+ degree weather didn't help either. The opening match was good, however, and it's always nice to see a title change. But, one decent match out of three in an hour-long show just isn't good. Thumbs down for the "Deadly Draw."
