Megaslam Wrestling Live Experience
On Saturday night I had the pleasure of attending Megaslam Wrestling live in Brighouse, West Yorkshire, a show that was part of the promotion's 10th Anniversary year-long tour. The event was centered around the great feud between Team Megaslam and Team Nasty, two waring factions. The feud added a solid foundation for the show and gave something for the fans to invest in and really get behind, rather than just watching a series of random matches.
The show kicked off with a clash for the Megaslam Heavyweight Championship between the heel Champion Danny Hudson, and the challenger Stixx. Hudson built up some mega heat (pun intended) with the crowd by slating those in attendance, with Stixx serving as the perfect fan favourite. The action was back and forth with both of the big men connecting with hard blows and heavy slams but it was Hudson who won, and retained the belt, after a low-blow and roll up pin. The referee, Max Brooker kicked-off his heel antics after the match, something he could continue throughout the show, adding psychology to the fans' experience, something which a lot of promotions forget to dabble with.
The second match was between Team Nasty's Timberwolf, a lunatic-esque brawler, and Megaslam's Riley Evans, the youngster who was out to prove his worth. This match was a step up from the opener in terms of in-ring action as both men were able to showcase their talents. The running time was decent, lasting around 15 minutes, most of which was dominated by Timberwolf until Evans got the win, evening the score between the factions.
The third, and best match of the evening, was between Megaslam's Craig West and Nasty's CJ Banks, a name renowned around the world. These two wrestler a classic for almost 20 minutes, with the match being a wrestler's match, and by that I mean the quality of wrestling itself came before any peripheral antics. The crowd was fully behind West, thanks to his unique look, which reminded me of early-2000's skater punk, and his natural magnetism. Unfortunately for the crowd, and the face team, it was Banks who got the win, but it was West who came off best, proving to all that he is one to watch in the future.
The main event was a six man over the top rope tag team elimination match as Team Megaslam (Stixx, Evans, and West) took on Team Nasty (Hudson, referee Max Brooker, and Timberwolf) in which Brooker was quickly eliminated as many would have expected. Once West and Evans had been thrown over it was down to Stixx to do battle with Timberwolf and Hudson. Even with the odds stacked against him Stixx was able to get the win after the 'Action Man' dodged a punch from Hudson that accidentally connect with Timberwolf, eliminating him from the match. Stixx speared Hudson then rid him from the ring getting Team Megaslam the win.
The show was solid from start to finish and was suitable for fans of all ages with the in-ring action being supplemented with crowd interaction. I will definitely be keeping close eyes on Megaslam in the future, and I highly suggest you do the same. Find them on YouTube now.
