Pro Wrestling Revolution Workrate Report 3/21/15

More matches from the 10/4/14 King City show (that's right, King City! This isn't Salinas motherfuckers!)

1. Virgil Flynn & Orion vs. Willie Mack & Ultimo Panda

Ah Pro Wrestling Revolution, where wrestlers I enjoy go to have boring matches. And this was another program highlighting their staggeringly awful time management. This is an 11 minute match. This is a 30 minute TV show. The only thing they showed was this match. No promos, no highlights, nothing else. Just one 11 minute match, stretched out over a 30 minute broadcast. Unacceptable. And the match itself was very much nothing. I like Virgil Flynn, always love Willie Mack, and yet here Mack had one of his weakest showings. I get that this is not a workmate fed, so why would guys ever bust ass more than necessary if the live crowd is entertained? I get it. Ultimo Panda actually handles the first 50% + of this, which is bad. The guy is not good. He's fine in a six man when he can come in, hit some okays fat dude offense, and then dance while other guys do the heavy lifting. Here he works half the match around slapping Virgil on the ass and then dancing. Amusing once, unbearable after you realize this is the only match they're gonna air. Mack does none of his awesome fat dude flying spots, also relying on dancing, as well as a couple of his nice kicks. I'm still beyond tickled the promotion just calls Virgil Flynn "Virgil" on its advertising. Like what other reason could there be for that!? I would LOVE to see the one person who wanted to see Wrestling Superstar Virgil. I'm surprised they don't bill Orion as "The Viper" Randy Orion. The match was much filler. Much, much filler. Again nearly half of it was Panda working ass slapping and/or dancing exchanges with Flynn. Mack didn't do any of his impressive flying spots, instead sticking to some schtick and the occasional nice kick (I do like his fast flying heel kick). Panda and Mack hit a pair of nasty stereo over-the-shoulder piledrivers for the win, and this was essentially an 11 minute squash, broadcast over 30 minutes. Rough, rough stuff.
