Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell ya something about the latest GEW show, and I gotta say, it was a real mixed bag of outlaw carny mudshow bullshit! But hey, that's the wrestling world we live in these days, so let's dive right into it.
First up, we had Kameron Chase taking on Scott Simmonds in a Deathmatch. Now, I don't mind a good old-fashioned brawl, but this match was tainted by Kameron's son, Ryan McGrath, sticking his nose where it didn't belong. I mean, what's the world coming to when we got family members interfering in matches? Disdain doesn't even begin to cover it. This was a classic example of everything that's wrong with modern wrestling.
Next, we had MC Inc, consisting of Lance Murphy and Casey Black, going up against Zeke Colton Spence and Napoleon Collins III in a Tag Team match. Now, Lance Murphy, he's a real talent, no doubt about it. But Casey Black, that goofy sideshow clown, well, he's got no place in the ring. It's ironic, ain't it? The guy's scared of clowns, yet he's the biggest joke out there! Lance carried that team to victory, and he deserves all the praise for it.
And finally, we had Shooter Load, with Shaun Irvine and Phil Hunter, taking on Alex Chambers and poor Takeo Shima. Now, this was the best thing of the night, folks. Seeing a rookie like Takeo Shima get stretched by two veterans, that's wrestling tradition right there. I love me some old-fashioned hazing of the new guy, and Shooter Load delivered. Alex Chambers, he showed his true colors by abandoning his partner. That's what happens when you can't hang with the big dogs.
You know, folks, the more I think about it it takes me back to the good ol' days of wrestling, back in the late 80s/early 90s when I was running my own "Southern Slam Championship Wrestling." We didn't need no fancy booking committees telling us what to do either. No sir, it was just me, my trusty notepad, and my gut instinct for what worked in the ring and protected the business.
I remember this one guy, Randy Steele, he was a big bad motherfucker and he was just ready to be made into the next big star. He had the look, he had the charisma, just like we got in GEW now with Lance Murphy. So I booked him in a grueling series of matches against some of the toughest veterans we had. Week after week, he'd go toe-to-toe with 'em, and the crowd ate it up. That's how you build a talent, by testing 'em, pushing 'em, and letting 'em shine. Not by pairing them up with a fucking goofball and having them play Dumb and Dumber.
You want to talk about tag teams, I'll tell you another one, we had Big Tex and Wild Bill, the fucking Texas Titans, and they beat the ever loving christ out of teams across the territories. What I saw from Shooter Load was a throwback to that and they just, I mean, they took no fucking prisoners.
Thinking about that and now, seeing Lance Murphy and Shooter Load, who could be just as big as those fucking guys, being wasted by the GEW booking committee, it just makes my blood boil. These guys are talents that should be in the spotlight, not stuck in mediocre storylines and gimmicks. It's a damn shame, and it's proof that sometimes, the old-school ways of booking had more merit than what we see today.
In the end, GEW may have its ups and downs, but it's still a place where you can find some real wrestling action if you sift through the nonsense. And that's the way it is in the world of pro wrestling, folks. James Coronet out!
