[2001-03-31-IPW] Mikey Whipwreck vs Little Guido

IPW appears to be a Pennsylvania indy. Love the top 10 list, which includes the Sandman, Crowbar, Chris Candido, and of course, champion King Kong Bundy. Looks like  pretty good sized crowd, though. Guido taunts a young fan in the front row on the way in. Guido was supposed to face someone else, but they're not here, and Mikey is the replacement.

This is pretty fun. They mostly keep it in the ring. Of course, there's some meandering brawling, but the IPW set is so weird (potted plants?!?) that it's somewhat amusing. After seeing these guys in a couple of three-ways, it's nice to see them just work their match - sort of an indictment of how messy and pointless most indy three-ways had become at this point. Really nice series of reversals leads to the Whippersnapper and the win for Whipwreck. Nothing earth shattering here but a very enjoyable outing from both guys.

Prior to the match we get a run down of the IPW “Top Ten” which includes George ‘the Animal’ Steele, Jerry Lawler, Julio Denaro (sic), The Patriot and the current champion, King Kong Bundy!  This appears to be a different IPW to the Florida group with the same initials.  Guido’s entrance music has been silenced, presumably for copyright issues, although he’s having some fun shadow boxing against this one fan in the front row.  The Chairman (I assume?) of IPW is out and says that they have a problem as Guido’s scheduled opponent didn’t show up.  Guido thinks it’s understandable someone wouldn’t show if they know they’re wrestling him, so suggests they raise his hand and he can get out of this hick town.  The Chairman says it’s not that easy in the IPW and that this is an important match because the winner also gets a Buick car from their sponsors.  He just happens to have an opponent for him, someone from his past, Mikey Whipwreck.  Guido takes some time out early as Mikey gets the better of the opening wrestling exchanges.  Nice transition from the bodyscissors into the Fujiwara armbar, Mikey rolling through to alleviate the pressure.  He pulls Guido to the outside dumping him across the guard rail before lying him across the timekeeper’s table where he places the ring bell over his groin which he rings.  Back inside Guido reverses the Irish whip keeping hold of the arm and hits a Sicilian Slice.  He tosses Mikey to the concrete however he steps out the way of the pescado, seeing it coming a mile away.  They head up to the stage area, Mikey blasting Guido in the head with a plant pot.  Bodyslam on the wooden stage.  On returning to the ring the two trade chops in the middle.  Spinning DDT by Mikey.  He unloads with punches in the corner, Guido lifts him up as if for a powerslam but Mikey counters with a huracanrana for a near fall.  Guido blocks the tornado DDT, there are all sorts of reversals and then Mikey catches him with the Whippersnapper for the win and the car from the sponsors.

Reminded me of an ECW house show match and an easy way to pass ten minutes or so.  Actually, considering how many of the old ECW crew have been half-assing it or going through the motions, this is probably towards the upper end of matches in the post-ECW climate from the former regulars.
