The Acro Arena. a crazy really open arena.
The new ICW theme song, released from THE FUTURE. SHAME ANT, SHAME FOR BREAKING YOUR TIMELINE, SHAMEEEEEEEEEEEE
I find it interesting that Samoa Joe debuts and is thrust into the title picture right as Taz leaves, considering they are basically the exact same gimmick.
Last Mand Standing? Particularly more brutal than the Last Man Standing match, because they are mend and now men.
The busting up of the ultra expensive Jeritron 5000 was a bit anti-climatic. it's a Wrestling Society X logic. You can't just bring something in the enviroment out when you're going to smash it. it needs to be around for a little while, so that people expect it to be there without anything happening.. then when it gets smashed, they are shocked. WSX had a structure of light tubes that spelled out WSX. It was there for 8 episodes. then someone got thrown into it. if there were just light tubes there, it'd make as much sense as a toaster under the ring, but because it was set up properly, it made sense. As the debut of the Highlight Reel, it didn't make sense that the Jeritron got smashed, since it just got introduced.
Very promo heavy open to ICW. Recap, promo, in ring promo, commercial, promo.. Can't say I'm thrilled with that format layout.
What did Rey Mysterio say to the kid? I assume it was something about butt raping him while he sleeps
Sydal beats Mysterio in a pretty well paced match. Mysterio is still winless, Sydal picks up momentum.
How dare Gregory Helms insult poor peanut head Teddy Long. He also assaulted him. the nerve!
Head better keep her mouth shut and not egg on Al any more. Head is a woman right?
I'm disappointed that there was not a toaster under the ICW ring. Vic Grimes is apparently not hungry on ICW sets.
Homicide and Snow was a good match. I'm glad you didn't go over the top with the weapons. kept it a simple, hard hitting match where they really used the weapons at hand a lot more, rather than a bunch of weapons. these are my favorite style of hardcore match.
A GREAT Mankind promo. Seriously awesome.
This is a VERY promo heavy show. there's seriously been like 2-3 promos or recaps for every match, if not more..
Albert-Burchill was a good "mean guys match" as Bryan Alverez would say. I like that it ended in a double count out because it's a good set up for a return match.
I kind of knew either Regal was going to turn on Tajiri or Tajiri on Regal. the three way wouldn't make sense otherwise, nor would the handicap match have made any sense. Right thing done.
Joe destroying Christian is of no shock. Joe was built as the star. It was just a formality to beat Christian.
This was a good episode, it was just a bit too promo heavy. there were a few promos that, while they assisted character development.. just weren't entirely needed. not when the show was very promo heavy as is. And there were a couple of promos that seemed to lose their focus and drag on, which really wasn't needed in a promo heavy show. Like the Corperation promo with Christian. It could have been kept shorter and would have been just as effective. Just my opinion. Less is more sometimes when it comes to the promos.

I'm not gonna go into full detail with this review, i'm feeling lazy Nice opening sequence recapping everything. great segment with Paul Heyman and Samoa Joe. ugh, linkin park >_> interesting to have Randy Orton as the guest on the highlight reel. A last man standing match at the PPV sounds like a great idea for this feud between Jericho and Orton great match between Mysterio and Sydal, glad Sydal won Pretty good Hooliganz promo great hardcore match between al snow and homicide Fantastic promo with Mick Foley transforming to mankind! I absolutely loved it and i could picture everything in it. fantastic job on that part. good match between Albert and Burchill, i was looking forward to seeing him be used for more than a body guard in ICW decent match between Dinsmore and Tajiri, i don't really care for dinsmore's work though. Great match between Cage and Joe. Good ending to your show too. overall rating: 4.5/5 i've always liked your work, and this another great installment of ICW. Keep up the good work bro

Great show! What I liked-The description of events -Your intro -The way Samoa Joe is made as a monster -The Highlight Reel -Chris Jericho's voice being resembled correctly -Matt Sydal being on the ICW roster -Your matches -Al Snow and head What I disliked-Paul Heyman being color commentator and Samoa Joe's alias/manager -Rey Mysterio in a jobber role An okay thing is having too much detail. I don't think I'm the only one, but I hate reading long shows like this no matter how good they are. I hope to see some more ICW soon though.
