NYWC Championship
“Flawless” Blake Morris © vs. Big O vs. Mike Mondo
Decent match that quickly ended in a triple countout, when all three guys brawled out of the building. NYWC management calls for the match to be re-started. Morris tries to walk out, which is a weird move, since a pinfall in his absence would have meant a new champion. Eventually, Mikey Whipwreck interferes and goes after Whipwreck, ending in a giant schmozz for the no contest finish. Post-match, it’s announced that Morris, O, Mondo and Whipwreck will compete in a 4-way steel cage match for the title.
What I liked: Morris played a ‘tweener pretty well, though the crowd didn’t really seem to pick up on his babyface hints. O is intense, and Mondo is great. The schmozz was fine to set up next month, but mostly because this was not the main event.
What made me angry: I’m so happy to see Blake Morris get the chance to be carry the ball as NYWC champion. I’d like to see him get the chance to get a few clean wins under his proverbial belt while carrying the actual belt, or else his title reign won’t mean much in the end.
