ICW Monday Night Collision episode 20: Last stop

Opening video was pretty good. Nice little recap of what happened last week, which for me, literally was last week..

MVP being used is good. He has some really good raw potential. Hopefully you re-gimmick him though, because his outer space gangsta who comes out of an inflatable entrance gimmick is really lame. Harry Smith has always been good.

Nice little promo from Angle. Served it’s purpose.

Odd promo from Jericho.. He basically just changed his tights, even though his gear has more or less always been the same?

Haas and Benjamin attacking Tanaka. I was really hoping Tanaka would win the match. Something about a dude who has no problem power bombing his opponent into an “exploding pool” (and even I have no idea what that is, and I own the god damn tape!) to win a match appeals to me.. A Team Angle reunion is only good if you’re planning a few good technical marathon six man matches, perhaps even elimination rules..

Punk & Tanaka. THERE’S a team I wouldn’t mind seeing. Burning Hammer + Pepsi Plunge = Happy Me.

Poor Haas, didn’t even get to say anything L A decent promo, another one straight and to the point. No shenanigans from Angle. I like my Angle with shenanigans, tbh..

Dinsmore versus Punk. This is a match I wouldn’t mind seeing, as long as Dinsmore isn’t intellectually- disabled or a super hero. Excellent WCWA/Jannetty reference in there. Needed more coke, tbh. WELCOME TO CHICAGO MOTHER ERS!!! Glad to see you’re expanding Punk beyond his normal WWECW routine moves. I miss Punk hitting top rope Pedigrees and Tiger Drivers..

Intense promo from Taz. I think Taz needs a manager, honestly. It’d be cool for Taz to just not speak, look like an angry mother er, and just stand and stare, while someone else does all his speaking.

Buried Alive match.. Don’t think I’ve ever read a buried alive match.. Nor a stretcher match. I haven’t even seen a stretcher match in a good 10-15 years, since Steamboat versus Austin in WCW.. The career match can only be good one way, and you know what I’m talking about..

Sandman, the only longer, and more drunken, entrance than Nate Webb.

Sandman versus Homicide was a good brawl. I can’t say I was expecting Homicide to go over..

Main event was pretty good. You know what would have been good, perhaps even better though? After Sting requested the match, he just doesn’t show up, making it a 2 on 3 match. This would put Sting over as a mysterious and quite dickish individual. Then at the end of the match, he can just show up and beat the dog crap out of Kane, igniting the big in ring brawl at the end, but that’s just my opinion.

Overall, a pretty good show, a strong way to go home for the PPV. Can’t wait for WWC.

*Crickets chirping*



Anyone? Anyone

The board was cluttered due to that idiot, so I will help your post get topped with a review

Weird seeing Benoit first......but not your fault.

Title vs. Career is always interesting. I like Test as the champion, it's different.....

Solid battle royal but I don't think MVP should have to earn a spot on the roster.

I liked the Angle promo but I think he is too good to be the TV champion.

I like the re-uniting of Team Angle. I don't like though how Punk, 1 guy, chased off 3.

I was actually hoping Team Angle would cost Punk his match but it was a nice match anyway.

I like PPV hype, I usually do it myself as well.

I saw the almanac and your shows.....what's with Marty Jannetty lol?

Really glad Homicide won the old school vs. new school battle.

I liked the main event as well.

My review may have sounded noobish since this is the first show I have read of yours. It was greatly detailed and I liked your PPV hype. Keep up the great work

GReat opening. Really set up the scene from last episode of Collision. Its odd what has happened since then and I guess the timing was perfect for you. Sandman vs 'Cide!!!! Michaels/Benoit vs Daniels/Test!!!! Great main event here.

Ohh nice little scenario with the Battle Royale. The Miz with Trishelle? lol that is great. She has nice boobs. I dont know who i want to see win out of these guys. I sure hoope Harry SMith wins it. He is a star waiting to be showcased. I love the all out action with this match. Byebye Eljiah. Byebye Miz. I would have thought Trishelle would have interferred somewhere in the match but no such luck. I dont see a point of her coming out since she did nothing. Good thing Carlito got thrown out. MVP and SMith being the last two is really good in my eyes. Both men out?? Who won?!!? I liek the double winner ending.

Wow! Killer promo by ANgle. That may have been one of the strongest promos i have ever read. I mean I felt his anger. Great Job!

Jericho going back as Y2J gives you more to work with so i enjoy that. I wonder what this huge surprise will be??

ANgle/Tanaka is a very interesting matchup on paper. Back and forth action here so far. Crimson Mask! Thunder Fire Bomb! Come on Masato! Aw man. World's Greatest ruined this match. I loved the match up to that point. I figured Punk would chase off Team Angle. Maybe a 3 on 3 match??

Decent promo by WGTT and Angle, but nothing out of the ordinary liek that first promo by ANgle.

Punk/Dinsmore has the opportunity to steal the show let's see what you got set up. Punk takes the early lead to start. Im thinking about it and I can't say that a loss for either one of these men willbe good heading into the PPV. I love the brutal shots each men are giving. G2S!!! For a two?? Great! Love the mention of WCWA. Welcome to Chicago MFer'! The Plunge!! thats got to be it now. As I said in the beginning of this match, it might have stole the show.

Ohh yeah! Homicide/Taz 2!!! I can't wait for this one.

I really am pumped from When Worlds Collide. FBi vs MNM should be good. Surprised its not a 3 on 3. Stretcher match= golden. Ip versus Sandman/Dreamer should bring me back to old ECW memories. HBk/Fallen Angel= instant classic! RVD/Dinsmore...With Dinsmore losing this week is this the end to his reign or will he come out with even more fire? And of course Benoit vs Test.

Cide vs Sandman should be good.... I hope to god that we get some crazy action in this one and not a huge amount of people interfering. Decent action here so far. Im surprised No chain shot to the head by Cide. Flying headshot! COp Killa!!!!! Homicide wins it! I love the staredown its sets everything up for the match on the PPV.

Dont know how much i enjoy Kane and Stinger getting involved in the Main event i would have kept it off till WWC. Time for the Main Event! Daniels/BEnoit is an intriguing matchup. I figured Test wont meet up with Benoit until he is damn well ready. All out brawl!!!! Undertaker disappears? If Cris Angel appears I m leaving... Figured Stinger would except.

Great show. I really can't wait for the PPV. Great show my only regreats with this show was the lack of the FBI/MNM feud building up the feud. I really enjoyed the ANgle promo at the beginning of the show I can't wait for him/Punk to boil over.
