Indy TV Sampler- Global Championship Wrestling

From the great state of Alabama we bring you Global Championship Wrestling

Episode 224

Fancy opening graphics, by far the most professional looking opening, although it is matched to awful Gabe Sapolsky style scream metal.

Alabama Attitude (Mike Posey/Corey Hollis) v. High Definition (Cody O'Conner/Jody Foster)

This is pretty much the definition of not my thing. Four guys in shiny pants doing 45 combo moves all ending in a lungblower variation, but nobody can throw a punch or a kick that doesn't look like crap. Hollis looked the best, but I hate this Young Bucksish Cole and O'Reilyian garbage.

Tracey Taylor v. Pandora

Pandora looks like she took a wrong turn on her way to the Birmingham scenester Roller Derby league. This is barely above fetish video level stuff. Although the announcers do mention that Lola Gonzalzes is coming into the women's division soon. Does that mean Fishman is going to be working in their workrate tag division? Since when did Alabama indies fly in 50 year old luchadoras? Am I going to have to keep watching this show to see if they bring in Martha Villalobos?

Spiral v. Inhuman Fly

Spiral is kind of working a Jesse Pinkman gimmick. Weird structure for this match, the Fly has the TV title but Spiral takes 80% of the match, mostly working the arm in fancy ways, some of which work, a lot of which do not. The Fly does very little, but reverses him into an Unprittier for the win.

Outside of checking for old lucha ladies, I don't think I am going to revist GCW. They seem to want to be Alabama EVOLVE, and I don't even dig regular EVOLVE

Amusing you mentioned Cole and O'Reilly in the review for the Alabama Attitude match, considering Cole and O'Reilly once destroyed them in a squash match on ROH TV.
