Event: GATHERING OF THE MANIAKZ 2

Duration: 12:51
I apologize for the camera angle. This was one of those shows where the camera was turned on, sat in place, and left there all night. It’s like a security camera angle. The match isn’t much prettier. This is a garbage match at its worse. Tank had plenty of better matches than this one and I’d even say Eddie Jacobs might of too. I’m still sickly entertained by this match. The action is odd and the whole thing is awkward, but it’s still like a hardcore wrestling train wreck. Kerisa brings the barbed wire ladder to the ring way too soon and just seems to casually bring the two in the ring more and more weapons. The crowd sits there quiet and most likely just dumbfounded. With it being a “Texas Death Match”, the rules are that the wrestler has to be down for a ten count AFTER being pinned for a three count. I don’t think the crowd got this, but by the time they teased near falls they were already balls deep into the hardcore spots. There is a cat fight between Kerisa and Pookie that’s fun and gets the crowd a live for a little while, but then the match just goes odd. Tank was supposed to go over much sooner in the match, but Jacobs just kept getting up. After barbed wire ladder spots, chair shot, table shots, and all that hardcore stuff the match ends with a stiff as hell chair shot and an extremely acrobatic dive from the top. This match is really long. I believe there are parts to this that are cut out and it’s still way too long. In retrospect it would have been cool to see Kerisa vs. Pookie instead..or maybe a mixed Hardcore Tag Match…. Ah, retrospect.
