Recap from TJ Hawke:

Bradley has been one of the big projects for Resistance Pro since their very first show.  Vader started getting a lot of attention around this time for this match, some appearances in Pro Wrestling Syndicate, and obviously, because of a pair of Monday Night Raw appearances.

 

Vader dominated early (duh).  It took a while, but Bradley was eventually able to get some offense in.  Bradley even managed to hit a delayed scoop slam, which got a big pop.  Vader came back though with a running body splash, which took Bradley down.  Vader then hit the Vader Bomb: 1…2…3!  The match went just under seven minutes.

 

I remembered reading this result at the time and thinking that it was quite strange.  Bradley seemed to be a dominant heel that R-Pro was trying to build up.  I think this match actually added a lot to his character (from what limited videos I’ve seen), and in the long term, Bradley may be better off for having lost to Vader here as opposed to going over someone of much less stature.  This was a real fun match.

Match Rating: **1/2

About TJ Hawke

TJ was a fan of wrestling as a kid (starting around 1999), and his first concrete wrestling memory is some kid bringing Hulk Hogan his old yellow and red gear backstage during an episode of Nitro. Hogan needed the gear to defeat Kevin Nash in a title vs. career match at the next WCW PPV. Nash lost the match and his career, which sadly resulted in the world losing out on seeing Kevin Nash matches for the last 13 years. Like almost all young kids, TJ’s interest in wrestling fluctuated over the years until an episode of Raw on July 3, 2006. TJ was curious and excited to see his beloved RVD show up with the WWE Title belt and what he thought was the revitalized European title. TJ decided he must turn to the the internet to figure out what was going on. Almost 6 years later, TJ is still searching the internet every day to find out what is going on in wrestling. Now though, he writes for the pop culture site (411mania.com), has his own blog (The Best of Chikara), and is the creator of the very site you are reading now.
