Recap from TJ Hawke:

This was a number one contender’s match for the RPW Heavyweight Title.  Anthony was posing on the top rope, and Bradley immediately him with a super German suplex.  The bell rang, and the match started. I expected Bradley to be in control after that, but it was 50/50 for a while. Bradley went for a tope suicida at one point, but Anthony blocked it and then hit a slingshot plancha.  Bradley came back and dumped Anthony to the floor.  Bradley climbed up to the balcony and yelled at Billy Corgan.  They started brawling in the backstage area, near the merch and food stations.  They made their way back to the ring, and Bradley was still mostly in control.  After a good while, Anthony was finally able to hit a middle rope dropkick.  Anthony then got a nearfall with a rolling DVD.  Anthony then hit a powerbomb and locked in a Boston Crab.  Bradley managed to get to the ropes.  Anthony then managed to hit a Vertebreaker variation: 1…2…NO!  Anthony went for a moonsault, but Bradley rolled out of the way. Bradley went for a lariat, but Anthony hit a couple of boots.  Bradley finally unleased the lariat: 1…2…3!

 

This match was really, really good.  Both guys are strong prospects for Resistance Pro to build around, and it’s matches like this that makes me keep an eye on RPW (even if the promotion has many faults in other areas).  I also greatly enjoyed Dr. Keith on commentary for this match. Both of these guys should be getting bigger and better opportunities in independent wrestling.

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.
