Eddie Kingston vs. Homicide UWF 6/3/11 - EPIC

PAS: This was a tourney match for the Urban Wrestling Federation title and was quite an awesome spectacle. Homicide was repping Brooklyn and was managed by Uncle Murda, and Kingston was Bronx affiliated and seconded by Melle Mel. Julius Smokes was on commentary along with two other black guys I didn't catch the names of, and all three were great at one point the Play by Play announcer mentions that Homicide is a heavy partier and especially susceptible to liver shots. This one of the those great semi out of control Homicide brawls, felt like a Puerto Rican guy from Brooklyn and a Puerto Rican guy from the Bronx unloading on each other in the middle of the street. Both guys were lacing each other with chops and punches, and there was some epic shit talking in between blows (including Homicide telling Melle Mel to suck his dick). They both threw out some big moves including a back drop driver by King and a Cop Killa by Homicide, only goes about 10 minutes but it is a hellacious 10.

ER: This was fantastic, it was like an all time great WorldWide match given twice the time. Homicide brings stiff work and Kingston provides all the rest, seamlessly saving a couple early spots from Homicide (Homicide comes in high on a cannonball off the apron, Kingston clutches him tight while going down; later Homicide doesn't get both legs up on a top rope rana, Kingston whips over fast to avoid any clunk), bringing big personality and even mugging to a couple fans. The work here was real mean, some of the deepest thudding chops around, rough tosses into the guardrail, Homicide trying to take Kingston's arm home with him, bending it behind his back and over his head in painful ways. The home stretch is great with increasingly bigger and violent moves. Kingston drops him with a huge backdrop and a backfist, then a diving elbow drop. Homicide no sells a bunch of hard as hell chops and then snaps off a headbutt, later drops a big headbutt from the top, and just wrecks Kingston's neck and shoulders with a Cop Killa. This was a brutal drop, no idea how Kingston was able to work after that. One of the most nasty finishes I can remember. AND YES, the commentary team was absolutely incredible. The greatest 3 man booth around. All were as quick with Melle Mel references as they were with wrestling observations, really one of the most energetic, informative, and exciting commentary performances I've heard. With insight like "Homicide downs that Hennessy like it's water, so if Kingston works over the liver he could win this." That's why we watch all of this. That's why.
