[2002-06-09-PWF-Lockdown in Pottstown] Jody Fleisch vs Jonny Storm

[TonyPulis'Cap]

This is part of the American tour that Jody and Jonny were on in the summer of 2002 and just a day after they had torn the house down at CZW Best of the Best the previous night in one of the best spotfest matches you will ever see. This was the classic UK indie matchup at the time that the two were now doing as a touring match. After the adulation of the CZW fans the night before, this is something of a comedown (and the less said about the very loud "you're a f*g" chant aimed at Jonny before the match the better).

As I say, this is their touring match, but they do vary up some of their standard sequences. Jody is so good with his high flying at the beginning, nailing all his big spots including the springboard shooting star press to the outside. Storm for his part is good at providing an effective base early on. As ever, they are just so smooth in their exchanges, and the rapid countering of each others offences making sense given their level of familiarity. Storm is actually a lot more vicious than in some of their other matches and we also get some brawling on the outside which includes a disgusting chair shot from Storm to Fleisch.

As we hit the closing stretch, Storm nails a killer sit down power bomb to counter a leaping rana, and actually kicks out of Jody's 720 DDT before nailing a rewind rana from the top for the win. At the end, both guys have won over the crowd - it's non stop action, but that's what you want from these guys. (*** 1/2)
