CZW:Deja Vu Ii


 


Z-Barr and Scott Chong v. Rockin Rebel and Greg Matthews


This was just ok. It was your run-of-the-mill tag match. 


Rockin Rebel and Greg Matthews win via pinfall

2/5


John Dahmer and Cory Castle v. Adam Flash and Ian Knoxx


This was another so-so tag match.


Adam Flash and Ian Knoxx win via pinfall

2/5


Gauntlet Match


This was a fun way to see the juniors of this era. Chris Ca$h was great and for a guy that tall, he can do some shit. Sonjay was a standout as well and his athleticism was ahead of its time.


Sonjay Dutt wins via pinfall

2.25/5


Cody O'Neil v. Arik Cannon


Well the match itself didn't stand out but Arik Cannon looked great.


Arik Cannon wins via pinfall

2/5


Jimmy Rave v. AJ Styles


This was a very good match. You can see flashes of what these two would become and these early years matches live up to the hype. 


AJ Styles wins via pinfall

2.75/5


Johnny Kashmere and Rain v. Sick Nick Mondo and Simply Lucious


I enjoyed this match. This proved to me that Sick Nick Mondo was not just one of the best deathmatch wrestlers of that era but, one of the best wrestlers period and I will put him up against any ROH or TNA legend of that era. Kashmere held his own and both female wrestlers were way ahead of their time as far as in-ring goes. 


Sick Nick Mondo and Simply Lucious win via pinfall

3/5


JC Bailey defends the IWA Mid-South Junior Heavyweight Championship against Sanjay Dutt


This was a great fast-paced match. 


JC Bailey retains via pinfall

3/5


Nate Hatred v. Nick Gage


This was a great match. Nate Hatred is a beast and his suplexing Nick Gage through the stack of chairs was insane. I look forward to seeing more of Nate Hatred on this nostalgia journey. 


Nick Gage wins via pinfall

2.75/5


Tony Mamaluke v. Jimmy Rave


This was a good match as well. It was a good cruiserweight-style match and I saw how underrated Tony Mamaluke was and Jimmy Rave as well.

Tony Mamaluke wins via submission

2.75/5


B-Boy and Trent Acid v. Homicide and Mafia


This was a great hard-hitting match that was reminiscent of a 90's All-Japan match. Great athleticism is shown here which Mafia doing a tope was insanity. And lord what could have been with Trent Acid? 


B-Boy and Trent Acid win via pinfall

3.5/5


Zandig v. Ian Rotten in a Taipei Death Match


Im not really a fan of Taipei Death Matches but this was good. For me it wasnt about the match so much as it was about the IWA v. CZW feud which is something i want to explore more of. Both sides are stacked with legends so it should be great.

Ian Rotten wins via pinfall

2.75/5
