NWA-VA ACTION ZONE WORKRATE REPORT RESTART #1

Hey the Action Zone is finally back, I hope we get more then a couple of weeks this time. This was really paced like an old 80's territorial TV show, which was fun, but I hope this doesn't mean that we won't get to see all the main event matches that NWA-VA is running. Watch it at www.nwavirginia.com

What Worked

Jesus fuck Damien Wayne is crazy, I don't know what kind of bumps he took in the ladder match proper, but in the impromptu match he lands on his head like four times, and flies off a legitimate 15 foot ladder steps and dies hard. I don't care for the booking of the title change. I think it makes the face look pretty weak, if he only can beat the champion running in fresh after the champ wrestles a ladder match, and then only after the champ knocks himself out. I assume they aren't booking Sean Denny as Mikey Whipwrecht so I don't know why he won the belt in such a Whipwrechian way.

The OSE match was a pretty classic Center Stage style squash match. If Masked Superstar isn't Preston Quinn, Preston Quinn showed him how to punch. As he has the multiple different great looking punches. I also really liked the postmatch interview too, as all three of the OSE are really good at that kind of promo

What Didn't Work

The Scotty Blaze v. Lazarus match had way too much Lazarus on offense. Scotty has a ton of fun offense, so if he is working a squash match, he shouldn't be selling that much. Especially because Lazarus doesn't have a ton he can do.
