Indy TV Sampler- Showtime All-Star Wrestling

This is the indy that actually shows up on my TV, the episodes are a little sporadic and out of order sometimes, but is a consistently fun show out of Nashville

http://www.twnworldwide.tv/saw170.html

They show us highlights of last week and inform us Hammerjack was severely injured by a mystery assailant and Crippler Jeff Daniels. It felt like they were writing Hammerjack out of the promotion which is fine with me, Hammerjack always struck me as a poor mans Balls Mahoney.

Crippler Jeff Daniels v. Chris Kane

Daniels is an awesome veteran who has worked the Southern indies for years. He was coming off a brawling feud with Hammerjack, but the start of this match was Southern scientific, with Kane working an armbar and Daniels trying a bunch of reversals. Daniels kicks him low and lays in a nasty beating, great looking punches, nasty elbow drops and a great finish where he hit a Russian leg sweep flowed into a fishermans buster. Daniels is great.

Daniels cuts a great promo denies having an accomplice in his beating of Hammerjack but mellentions the Brotherhood coming in and tells us he would rather go to his mama's funeral then his own. Daniels is great

A country singer talks about a benefit she is throwing for a child with Autism. Manager Paul Adams interrupts her and talks trash, but he gets dragged away by the bounty hunters employed by Grumpy Bail Bonds. Amusing bit and a funny way to promote a sponsor.

Picture Perfect (John Michael Worthington/Christian Jacobs) v. Mike Cobb/Chris Lex

Picture Perfect are pretty big guys and this was basically a squash with Picture Perfect throwing around Cobb and Lex with power moves. No one got injured, so that was good

Leah the Bond girl gives us pictures of Grumpy's Bail Bonds most wanted bail jumpers. If anyone has seen Levar Five Daly call 1-877-GRUMPYS. Leah has enormous fake tits. Leah interviews her investigator who tells us more about Levar.

Sean Williams cuts a promo on Arrick Andrews. Williams is working a gimmick where he thinks he is Jerry Lawler. He doesn't actually do much of a Lawler impression, although he has some funny lines, talking about his 534 Southern Title reigns. Mike Davis as fake Dusty was better.

Teen Excitement Drew Haskins v. Arrick The Dragon Andrews

Haskins is one of my favorite acts in SAW, he works sort of a Justin Beiber gimmick and is a great bumper and has nice offense. He is accompanied by Derrick King, Johnny Bandanna and Sister Ophelia. Cody Melton who was injured the previous week tries to attack Derrick King. I hadn't particularly cared for Andrews before, but he was working really stiff here and took some big bumps, including falling face first off the apron to the floor. Haskins was great as always, excellent shtick, big bumps and really crisp offense. Match ends with Melton running out again and attacking King, distracting Haskins which leaves him vulnerable to Andrews head drop finisher. Man alive does Haskins take a headrop well. He feels like an indy guy who really should be huge in a couple of years, it is nuts that King and Haskins aren't TNA tag champs.
