MIGO's TAKE

(*Audio Disclaimer: The audio is jacked up. It’s probably best to watch it with the audio up to a lower level. If you adjust a little, it works and you can still hear some commentary, the crowd, and the bump sounds. This is a horror of dealing with old VHS tapes. I suppose it’s good that I’m transferring these over to some form of digital copy before these tapes turn to ash or something. Sorry about that, but it’s still definitely worth checking out. *)


Before Tristin Hayze settled on a name, he rocked “Malakim”. I really don’t know the difference. “Malakim” was kind of just the greener and more reckless version of the same persona. I loved him all the same. This was the opener of this infamous event and I thought it was pretty cool. Wendell and Hayze weren’t shy about killing themselves and throwing psychology out the door to get the crowd into it. Both would mature in the ring really quickly after this, but this was a fun little spotfest. The opening match… face versus face… and for no reason at all, they bring in a ladder. Reason was not something needed here and this is by far one of the tamest events of the night. There is a certain naïve innocence here between the wrestlers, production, and company at the time that made for some pretty crazy nights and very memorable spots. They didn’t have to go this balls-out, but they did and I’m certain it was appreciated by the unexpected crowd. I liked this match.
