[the lifeguard]

good looking card to me. dont really see the need to book Necro, especially against Evans again. from the shows ive been to lately it seems the fans are getting tired of his same old shit matches. id love to see the ME and Aries/Stevens was very good the first time,this one should be the same. I wish i was going so i could see the local guys that get much internet love,Sterling,Denny and Wayne

[The Franchise]

maybe another time i wouldve done this double shot. i look forward to the ME and Danielson to kick ass.

.there is a return date of August 1st.

No pre-show matches apparently. cm puns says "not very many people here at all"

1. Chris Hero d. Pelle Primeau with a roaring forearm & big boot. Larry Sweeney made Bobby Dempsey get under the ring after a "Bobby" chant broke out, and then promised to get out of town as quickly as possible because Manassas is disgusting. Pelle got a nice head scissors in. At one point, Hero hit a "HUGE" atomic drop.

Sara Del Ray has come out. She chokeslammed one of the crew and is still in Sweet and Sour Inc! Sweet and Sour headed to the back.

2. Rhett Titus & Rex Sterling d. Mitch Franklin & Sean Denny. Titus hit a huge clothsline on Franklin, and Titus and Sterling worked over Franklin for some time.

3. Brent Albright d. Damien Wayne, Nigel McGuinness, & Claudio Castagnoli in a Four Corner Survival when the ref stopped it while Albright was repeatedly hitting Wayne with knees while he had his arms trapped. Albright came out with Sweeney, but sent him to the back. Claudio and Nigel had a face off during the hand shakes. Nigel did the usual "heel champ won't work with his next challenger" thing. Eventually Claudio got his hands on Nigel and reversed the jawbreaker into a big swing and hit a big European. Eventually though Albright got left alone with Wayne and won it.

4. Austin Aries d. Erick Stevens with The End Time! Aries came out in street clothes and called out Jacobs. Stevens music hit, and he came to the ring. Aries continued to yell for Jacobs. Stevens asked Aries if he was scared of losing to him again, and grabbed Aries to start the match. At one point Stevens missed the Choo Choo. Stevens also had to fight to hit the TKO with Aries fighting out of it a couple of times before hitting it. Aries reversed the Dr. Bomb by kicking Stevens in the face as well. After the match, Aries continued to call Jacobs out and said that Jimmy threw Lacey away, Austin didn't steal her. He continued to call Jimmy out, calling him an insecure little boy. Finally said Jacobs was nothing but a bitch and left.

5. Necro Butcher d. Jack Evans in a No DQ Match with the backbreaker across 2 chairs. Necro started off killing Jack with punches, kicks and throws. Necro back dropped Jack onto the guardrail. Necro then hit a big chairshot on Jack's back and the Chair Scoop Slam. Necro set the chairs up with the backs together, but Jack reversed with an ace crusher and hit the 630 for a 2 count. Necro then hit the backbreaker across 2 chairs for the win. Match was said to be "pretty sick, Necro killed Jack".

Intermission Time!

6. Jimmy Jacobs d. Jay Briscoe with the End Time. Aries ran out from the back and AOTF jumped him. Jay came out and it turned into a big brawl for a bit. Finally got down to Jacobs vs. Briscoe, with Jay beating on Jacobs outside. Jay hit a flatliner onto a chair in the corner, and then a big Death Valley Driver. Jay tried for a top rope Jay Driller at one point, but didn't hit it. Jacobs missed the Senton at one point, landing on chairs. Jay hit a chair shot, but got locked in The End Time, he stood up however and threw Jacobs. Necro ran in, which led to the End Time getting locked in for the win. Didn't let go after the bell, leading to Aries coming out, and a big pull apart brawl with Aries, Jacobs, and Necro with Aries chasing AOTF to the back eventually.

7. Bryan Danielson d. Tyler Black with a heel hook. Black started out in control. Danielson took control then with the surfboard stomp, then multiple submission attempts (single leg crab, indian death lock, etc). Dragon then locked in a dragon sleeper with a grape vine. Dragon and Black each took turns with big dives to the outside. Black reversed Cattle Mutilation and hit a powerbomb to the corner on Dragon. Black reversed the top rope back drop but missed the phoenix splash. Dragon started hitting elbows, but Black reversed that, eventually Dragon caught the heel hook for the win. Said to be a "great, great match"! Dragon tried to shake hands with Black, but Black spit in Dragon's face and walked out.

8. Takeshi Morishima, Naomichi Marafuji, & Go Shiosaki d. Roderick Strong, Davey Richards, & Rocky Romero. Go "KILLED" Davey with chops early on. Morishima did the Azucar dance at one point! Marafjui got the pin on Romero after the shiranui. Very good, hard hitting match!

That's all for tonight,

[summer of George]

sounds like a real good show,one ill pick up on dvd. glad they drew well in the new market. i can imagine that area is tough on a Friday night,especially with the show starting at 7. i think theyll look to run another city nearer than NYC in the future so they dont have to haul ass back to NYC for the next night. obviously it wont be next time since NYC follows the return date in August.
