[2001-02-28-CZW-Destruction in Dover] Reckless Youth vs Trent Acid

[GSR]

It looks like this show is being held in a nightclub or bar somewhere with a ring set up in the middle of the building.  A rematch from the ‘Break on Thru’ event a fortnight ago, and not only has Trent got Z-Barr to keep him company but Zandig too, returning from a tour of Japan.  ‘The Boss’ doesn’t know “what the fuck” Reckless Youth is doing in his company as last time he saw him he was off to the big leagues and doesn’t really appreciate him only coming back now because that didn’t work out.  If he’s back in CZW he’s going to have to work like he knows Reckless Youth can, and prove it, starting tonight.  He won’t be facing Trent Acid though, he’s booking him in a gauntlet match against four other men and only if he gets through that will he get his match with CZW’s best Junior Heavyweight.

Zandig calls out Johnny Kashmere who doesn’t look like he’s ready to wrestle wearing a long sleeve shirt and hat.  The two exchange some bad looking punches until Kashmere blocks one and suplexes Reckless overhead.  They screw up a headscissors, although Reckless with one of the smartest cover ups you’ll see, making it look like he blocked it instead.  Only issue is they go right back and do the headscissors again so you know it was a screw up!  Reckless backdrops Kashmere over the top rope to the floor, when from the opposite side of the ring comes Ric Blade.  That’s why Kashmere didn’t look like he was ready to wrestle because he was only doing about ninety seconds and it clearly wasn’t worth his while to get changed into his wrestling gear!  Blade ducks a lariat and hits a neckbreaker, however Reckless has started to fall to the mat before Blade has even grabbed him.  Some wacky ‘submission’ by Blade which actually looks like it doesn’t hurt one bit.  Reckless catches a swinging arm and plants Ric with a reverse DDT.  A couple more of Zandig’s henchmen appear in the form of Ruckus and Jay Briscoe.  Double dropkick followed by a double flatliner and with their job already done, they leave.  With Reckless laid out, now Trent wants a part of him although takes an eternity over his first move and ends up failing to connect on the tumbleweed.  Tornado DDT by Reckless, spinning rabbit lariat and finally a torture rack into a sit out powerbomb that Trent kicks out of.  They make a complete hash of a Toyota roll to the point that the ref doesn’t even bother counting when they end up in some sort of pinning predicament.  Reckless with a cover and he has to shout at the referee to do his job as he wasn’t paying attention.  A few pinfall reversals are botched and this is a right mess.  Youth counters the attempted top rope rana with an inverted atomic drop and then hits the ‘Northern Lights 2K bomb’.  Z-Barr grabs the referee to put a stop to the count with Gargiulo claiming that he’s trying to “cop a feel” of him.  When you think this can’t get any worse they struggle working an Irish whip reversal!  Trent grabs Reckless as he looks for the tip up, ‘Acid bomb’ and this one is over.  The look on Trent Acid’s face at the end says it all!

It was a neat idea; Zandig pissed off that Reckless has only returned to CZW seemingly as a ‘last resort’ after things didn’t pan out for him, so he’s going to make him pay, make him work some before he gets a chance at Trent Acid, it was just badly executed.  Even if it was prelim fodder, lower level CZW guys, have Reckless run through three of them so he’s tired before finally facing Trent.  I just don’t see the point of a few sequences with a wrestler and then the next one coming in.  I doesn’t help that Kashmere wasn’t dressed for wrestling foretelling that they weren’t going to do much of a ‘match’.  The Reckless/Trent section was an even bigger disaster with a glut of blown spots and a referee who wasn’t paying attention.  When will these two have a straight up match without all the extra curricular activities and shit?
