[2001-03-10-CZW-War at Station 44] Nick Gage vs Lobo

[GSR]

Jimmy Washington is out with Natasha for an interview segment.  He proclaims that as of tonight Pastor Jim is dead before going on to introduce his guests, Nick Gage and the Dew, along with the Briscoe Brothers.  Gage is using the same music that Cornette used for that quality Leviathan music video in OVW last year.  The Dew claims that he’s going to mould the Briscoe’s into the best tag team in CZW, just like he did with the Backseat Boyz.  When the former Pastor talks about Gage’s less than stellar record against Lobo (who he calls “Captain Caveman”) he takes exception to being spoken to like that and gives him a brainbuster.  The Briscoes hold back Natasha, they then lay her out and Gage comes off the top onto her with a frog splash.  Captain Caveman, sorry Lobo, out to the rescue.

Lobo’s save is great and fiery, then after Gage regroups on the floor, sending the Briscoes to the back in the process letting them know he’s got this, they go into chain wrestling mode.  Gage complains of a hair pull, played purely for laughs seeing he’s as bald as a coot.  Head and suplex by Lobo.  Gage ducks under the arm and hits a belly to back for a two count.  He tosses Lobo out to the floor and this is more like it, slamming his head into the side of a truck that is parked up inside the building.  A fan holds up a metal chair which he runs him into.  A bit of a walk before Lobo reverses the whip into the lockers.  He then throws a garbage can at him and swing a chair like he’s swinging a baseball bat.  They return to the ring where Lobo telegraphs the backdrop and Gage catches him with a sunset flip.  We’re back to wrestling mode, almost like the brawling was an aberration or an interlude.  Roaring elbow by Gage.  The Dew is in the ring and goes to powder Lobo, however he ducks out the way and the powder blinds Gage who was holding him.  Lobo with a quick roll up and he retains the Iron Man title.  Post-match the Dew tries to apologise, Gage encouraging the crowds “fuck him up” chants.  It was just a tease, he and the Dew hugging it out.

Strange match with the brawling in between two bouts of wrestling.
