GSR Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 As E.Z. Money is being introduced and doing his bicep pose he’s jumped by Youngblood who just unloads on him, bad mouthing Money as he does so. He heads upstairs but it’s too early for that and as he comes flying off is met by a dropkick whilst in mid-air. A big running clothesline sends Youngblood over the top rope to the outside and Money then nails him with a plancha from the top turnbuckle to the floor. High release belly to back suplex for a two. Arm bar with E.Z. digging his elbow into the shoulder of Youngblood for added pressure. Somersault clothesline from the apron into the ring. E.Z. whips Youngblood into the ropes, leap frog, however Youngblood slides under and kicks Money in the knee before dropkicking him in that same spot. A combination inverted Indian deathlock/butterfly stretch and Money is tied up with seemingly nowhere to go. He gives up on the stretch thinking his opponent won’t tap, giving him the opportunity to reach for the ropes to break the hold. Money with a reverse crossbody off the top but Youngblood uses his momentum against him, rolling over and is shade away from getting a three. E.Z. ducks the clothesline and rebounds off the ropes with the Tajiri handspring elbow. ‘Crash landing’ release suplex and a beautiful Moonsault as Money picks up the win. And so another ECW alumnus hits the independent scene (though not for long in this case). With Wildside having such close ties to WCW I wonder if this is the match that got Money a look in from them as he debuts less than a month later. Nothing overtly spectacular or anything here, although Money has some unique stuff in his arsenal (somersault clothesline, handspring elbow, ‘crash landing’) that even if you’d never seen him in ECW you know he’d be a reliable hand for you.

soup23 Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Money is a fun spotfu guy that probably should have been utilized more. He seems to know when to stay in his lane and know what he does best. This match got real slow when Youngblood was on top and overall it suffered. *1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
