i liked the closing stretch of that match, and just about all of his non-sami callihan defenses before that

The main event was extremely bizarre and easily the worst thing all weekend if we're including the pre and post match stuff. I thought the title match wasn't anywhere near as bad as the people savaging it. Stuff before that was all good except for whatever the hell Peter Kaasa was doing. Cody/Hero and Riddle/End were both great.

i think this weekend really exposed how sloppy kaasa is. and evolve needs a better sound tech because they blew out their speakers with even trashy tim's guitar theme that i can't place.

cody's second night gear was miles ahead of how bad it was on friday. ethan page is trash.

HELLO here are your results from AAW showdown.

preshow: eddie machete & connor braxton d. curt(?) steiman(?) & markus crane. no scarlett with the black and brave boys this month, maybe she was at ROH. I don't think I'd seen curt steiman before but he was a string bean who really wanted the stiffness of his strikes over. it was vaguely awkward. no hoverboard spots and eddie might have even thrown connor's hoverboard which is hosed up. I think braxton got the pin on steiman

team tremendous opened the show and big bill carr is big. trevor and everett came out with tambourines and maracas to maximize the shaking of it off. dance battle to open and then we got a pretty good match. crazy ranas and poo poo by all four guys and trevor dived off the stage into the ring and bill caught him in a sidewalk slam which was pretty sick. also the carolina boys started literally doing a hardyz tribute gimmick and yelling delete at them and ending up winning with a twist of fate and swanton.

video promo by sami. says he made the aaw title a world title and started drawing the big houses to aaw. said he's coming for pentagon and the big belt and his whole family

ricochet v. dezmond xavier. went 17 minutes and was probably the best match of the night. started with competent chain wrestling and went into an extended flips and parries sequence and then only briefly did rico kill kayfabe so we got the majority of the match treated seriously. crowd got behind dezmond as the match went on and the kick-outs started piling up. ricochet pinned him with a second benadryller IIRC and then got on the stick and put him over, saying he's heard people call dez 'ricochet lite' or 'ricochet jr' but from now on they'd be calling him dezmond xavier, so was pretty clearly meant to be his coming out party and establish him as a singles guy

https://twitter.com/AAWPro/status/767203073651539969

killer cult (ohio is 4 killers+jessicka havok) d. the besties in the world (fitchett/vega) and heidi lovelace. this started pretty slow with OI4K getting the heat on fitchett for a long time. dave crist called him or Vega a human being so that got legit heat; the bourbon street crowd is more alt-hip than the berwyn crowd i think. when heidi finally got in and went on like a 10-superkick spree it started heating up and then everyone started chaining dives and the crowd got really into it. ended up being a good match

https://twitter.com/AAWPro/status/767048332443258881

homicide video promo about coming to back up his boy eddie again and they were gonna put down the killer cult but first they were gonna beat up the sister-kissing hooligans etc.

chris hero vs. shigehiro irie. the crowd was very receptive to irie and hype for this one so that was good. it built as you might expect with trading a bunch of heavy strikes and elbows and eventually trading no-sold suplexes etc. irie started getting people behind him with a spot where hes going for the superplex and hero keeps pushing him off the turnbuckle but dude just kept getting right up from the big back bump and going right back to the turnbuckle. hero put him down with the first rolling elbow of death, then got on the mic and said this was the first time they'd wrestled each other but it won't be the last. please come back chant for irie etc.

also his twitter is pretty adorable looks like he went to the air and water show

intermission~

hooligans vs. kingstone/homicide next. the ring announcer, i dunno what the heck, he kept implying that this match was gonna have brawling out into the crowd when he gave his little show-opening disclaimer and then again when announcing intermission was ending. when that did not in fact happen the crowd soured. homicide had also made a display of getting the hammer for the ring bell and then never used it. outlaw inc won. i think their time got cut and maybe for the next thing:

the hooligans manager buck nasty took the mic and was mad about losing and about the hooligans taking a few L's lately and so he issued an open challenge. buck nasty is a hilarious sleazeball and i highly recommend him. kimber lee came out to accept the challenge; I think this went like 9 minutes which was probably a minute and a half more than the advertised tag so weird choice but obviously kimber won by pop-up powerbomb

video promo by jack evans where he did some slam poetry about beating ar fox????? like a really long sincere slam poem??????????????

4-man for a spot in the bola-killer was next. moose, josh alexander, kongo kong and matt cross, who is very gray. this was considerably more disjointed than the 4-way with moose, cedric, trevor, everett a couple months ago, but the crowd got into it off a tower of doom spot with the big hosses involved. josh alexander pinned cross so that was a lock

ar fox d jack evans. i think this was pretty good. evans attacked him after the match

main event was sami callihan vs john morrison. morrison came out and gave his coolguy sunglasses to a guy on the stage who did a slo-mo jomo impersonation which was pretty funny. sami took and broke the glasses for big heat. oi4k got involved and the ref ejected them; this match ended up brawling into the crowd and maybe involved a table idk i couldnt see that part. jt davidson, the cult's manager, got involved to break up a pin. his arm was in a sling selling pentagon breaking it last month, so morrison hosed his arm up further. ended up pinning sami with starship pain. morrison got on the mic and cut a lame promo about how its all the fans in the back who remind him why he loves wrestling, and the first thing he heard when he won was 'please come back' and he'd love to come back any time. insincere-rear end platitudes, i wouldve preferred they rehab sami here tbh

good show but a little down from the big pentagon win and the cedric/zsj spectacle. all the talent was putting the company over on twitter afterwards so thats cool

the pentagon/ciampa title match is 9/1 in berwyn. first row tickets sold out about 5 minutes after doors opened, fewer than 50 tickets left by the end of the show
Pentagon Jr. vs Tommaso Ciampa
Tommy End vs. Chris Hero
Colt Cabana, Silas Young, Michael Elgin, Sami Callihan, Cedric Alexander, Fenix, Zack Sabre Jr., debut of Drew Galloway

9/18 back at bourbon street
Jeff Cobb vs. Matt Riddle - 'earn your spot match' for a shot at regular aaw bookings I guess
Abyss vs. Mil Muertes w/ Katrina, as has been discussed
also announced: the return of Prince Mustafa Ali

in addition to Gulak, Silas, Kamaitachi and Chuckie T, we now have Josh Alexander and

I had assumed that he was implying that someone would be going into the crowd at some point in the second half, not immediately.
