Winner via pinfall: ‘King’ Shane Williams
A bit sloppy and slow at times, but not a bad match between these two. A good way to open the show for these week. Williams has had some good matches since returning to TCW, but I would put this at the bottom of the list. Even so, this is still one of Greg Anthony’s better matches.

Sigmon is in the ring with Jason Jones. Sigmon is tired of proving that he is a winner to all the fans. He claims he never lost the Rumble Riot, was not defeated in his triple threat match for the TCW Heavyweight Title, and pinned Vordell Walker a few weeks ago. Sigmon attacks Jones after he says Sigmon also did not win those matches. Sigmon locks in the Winner’s Circle on Jones.

Winner via pinfall: Hounds of Hell
Basic tag team match between the two teams. Magic Men have not been too impressive since their debut, only having spouts of offense in their matches. Even with their win, the Hounds of Hell did not look any stronger coming out of this match than they did coming in.

Cerebus says he will Genetic Perfection’s faces. He also says he is giving GP a title shot so they can get revenge for Boyd Bradford.

Match is called a double disqualification
I don’t like lumberjack matches. I always thought they were a terrible idea. This match is a prime example of why I do not like them. The heels attack the faces, and vice versa. I also love how the commentators state that the lumberjacks are not suppose to attack the wrestlers in the match. Anyway, Saxon hasn’t had a match in TCW for a while now, and he did a good job here. Why Anthony decided to oversell everything is beyond me. The last two minutes of the match were great, beyond the finish.

The 411: This weeks how felt somewhat disappointing. The matches were fine, I just thought they should have been better. There also was not a lot of story buildup here, beyond the upcoming Walker/Sigmon match. Leaving this show, I found myself just wanting to see more of Kincaid, Americos, and Jon Saxon. So that's good.
Final Score:  7.0   [ Good ]
