CZW "From Small Beginnings Comes Great Things"

Sami Callihan vs Alex Colon

This was a pretty solid upstart vs established star match. Sami was Sami, lots of hard shots and crazy facial expressions. Colon seemed pretty fair, his stuff looked kind of weak when exchanging blows with Sami, but he was playing a sleazy cheating heel, so it made sense atleast, and he also had some nice facial expressions. Nothing great, but it atleast made me interested in a rematch, and Sami going apeshit on everyone and breaking some kid's back post-match was awesome.

Philly's Most Wanted vs The Briscoe Brothers

This was pretty good if not without flaws. The main problem with this was the awful dead CZW crowd and that Mark Briscoe didn't allow the heels to build up heat on him for long during his FIP section. Otherwise this was a pretty heated match with all four guys really going at it. Sabian is a guy I thought sucked in the past, but seemed pretty decent here as a bitch heel with small man syndrome, and Joker is a guy who can brawl and trade blows with guys like the Briscoes. The finishing run was also pretty good with lots of good exchanges and sequences. Still you wish the crowd was better, but I'm excited about the No DQ rematch. Good match.

Post-match promo from the Briscoes is five stars. GO LOOK AT FUCKIN YOUTUBE, GO LOOK AT MUTHAFUCKIN YOUTUBE.

Jon Moxley vs Brodie Lee

This was another good brawl that suffered from the awful crowd. Brodie has grown his beard out and looks as intimidating as he has ever done, and seems to have really grown into being a great big man worker. Early on he dominated Moxley and was shrugging out all of his stuff, including a chairshot to the head. Mox took some nasty garbage bumps including one through a table which broke awkwardly and looked real nasty. This kind of lost it near the end though, and stuff like a figure four felt out of place. Didn't care for the CZW garbage spots at the end and the finish came off feeling really underwhelming.
