MCPW Live
Calihan Hall
Detroit MI - 3/20/07


Christian Cage came down to the ring to a chorus of boos as he let the crowd know what he thought of them. He grabbed a mic and started by saying that tonight is the first day of the last day of Samoa Joe's run as MCPW heavyweight champion. He continued by saying for weeks he watched Joe walk around with that belt thinking he was some kind of God but tonight it all ends. Tonight Joe will fall and Cage will be there to grab the belt and take his rightful place on top of the pecking order.


Barbed Wire Board No-Time-Limit-Match:
Kenny Dykstra and Raven defeated CM Punk and Harry Smith when Kenny pinned Punk
with the Guillotine Legdrop in 0:29:55.
Rating: *****

It was announced at the last moment that this would be a Barbed Wire Board Match and to no surprise this worked into the sadistic plans of one Raven. Once again Raven and Dykstra got the best of Smith and punk but they didn't make it easy for them. Kenny got the pin while Raven made sure Smith learned a painful lesson.

MCPW Heavyweight Title - MCPW Television Title No-Time-Limit-Match:
Low-Ki pinned Samoa Joe in 0:03:18.
Rating: ***
(Low-Ki won the MCPW Heavyweight Title.)
(Low-Ki retained the MCPW Television Title.)

Halfway through the match Low-Ki was in control as both champs were getting their shots in. Austin Aries came down to the ring and distracted the ref when AJ Styles down and hit the Styles Clash on Low-Ki. The ref looking back was taken out by Aries. With no ref Styles and Aries started to beat up on both men when Joe started to get his second win and took the action back to Styles. Cage slipped in from someplace and kicked Joe in the mid section and then hit the Unprettier. With both men out Cage revived the ref and tossed him back in the ring. Confused and dazed the ref looked around and started to give both men the 10 count. Low-Ki was the first to move and slowly crawled over to Joe and placed his arm over him. The ref counted to 3 and we had a new heavyweight champion. There was no time to celebrate as Cage, Aries and Styles came into the ring and started to beat down both men again. Cage  grabbed the heavyweight tile and Styles picked up the Television title and walked away to the back to the boos of the sold out crowd.

Okay, this is pretty cool.  I can get into this :)

Can't comment a whole lot, as I'll have to go back through MCPW's older stuff to get a feel for it, but what I see, I likes.

Huge Kings of Wrestling guy, so way to go for them!

I like the feel of the circuit and the write-up style... I might "borrow" that from ya ;) Bill DeMott as commish is interesting... in a good way.

Nice main event and post-match beat down.  I love Cage as the dastardly heel, and Joe is a great guy for him to play off of.  Don't know about the double champion thing, but we'll see where it goes.

One more thing: booked or unbooked?
