Hey guys! This is Mid-Atlantic Miller and I’m here with some more CWF content. This week, CWF blessed us with a double portion of content. With this, comes a variety of stories. This week in particular is a good combination of new stories and continuations of current stories.
I would like to start with one of the new stories. Here, we have the beginning of a new tag team feud. The team of Corruption (Cain Justice and Ethan Sharpe) has officially started a rivalry with the team of So Time (Dirty Daddy and Snooty Fox). The teams battled for supremacy via two singles matches. Ethan Sharpe fought Dirty Daddy and Cain Justice battled Snooty Fox.
Before each match, the respective Corruption member cut a promo. I enjoyed both promos. In my eyes, both Cain and Ethan are good on the mic. However, during Cain’s promo, I noticed something interesting. When Cain mentioned wrestling the Heavyweight champion and almost winning the gold, Ethan had this look. I could see it in his eyes and on his face. It was almost a look of jealousy. Does Ethan have any animosity towards Cain?
Based on what I saw during the matches, my answer would be no, for now. Cain and Ethan were able to outsmart Dirty and Snooty and win both matches. I haven’t really interacted with Snooty or Dirty through social media like I have Cain and Ethan. With that being said, from seeing them wrestle in the ring, I can tell that they are two intense, emotional guys. Cain and Ethan used this to their advantage, as well as referee manipulation, to get the dukes.
Last week, I talked about the evolution of Kool Jay. This time last year, he was the guy that always got destroyed. Now, he still gets destroyed, but he has a certain toughness about him that he lacked last year. Something that gets mentioned frequently in Japan is fighting spirit. In my opinion, that’s where Kool Jay has improved leaps and bounds.
His opponent is Donnie Dollars. Donnie has always been a fantastic tag team wrestler. He’s a wrestler that I would categorize as a tag team specialist, winning the Mid-Atlantic Tag Team championships with Nick Richards and Corey Edsel.
They say that one day, Alexander The Great looked at everything he conquered and wept. He cried because their was nothing left for him to conquer. Minus the crying, that’s the vibe I get from Donnie. Donnie knows he’s a great tag team wrestler, he wants to conquer the singles division. Back in 2012, he started this conquest, but never really finished it. He was a great TV champion with a pretty impressive reign. Donnie held the title for nearly a year before losing it to one of CWF’s all-time greats, Trevor Lee.
On that note, I would like to take a brief moment to give my condolences to Trevor. He tragically lost his father this past Sunday. May all our positive thoughts be with Trevor as he gets through this tough time.
Donnie and Kool Jay are a really good pair because they play off of each other. Kool Jay is a fantastic underdog to Donnie’s bully. At the same time, Donnie serves as an excellent base for all of Kool Jay’s aerial maneuvers. Anytime these two face off, it’s guaranteed to be fun!
This week, Andrew Everett defended his Ultra J Championship against Cam Carter. For those new to the product, the Ultra J division is essentially CWF’s spin on the cruiserweights. If you’re a fan of Impact, you’re probably very familiar with Everett. With that being said, Cam is really starting to make waves himself. He had an absolute classic with Slim J at ACTION Wrestling back in June. If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend checking it out on Powerbomb TV.
I thought this was a very good title match between two of the best high-fliers in the game! To me, it had a bit of a tit-for-tat feel to it. Both men wanted to see who was the best. This was evident from Everett’s pre-match promo. The Mid-Atlantic Sportatorium is more or less Everett’s home. He’s been mastering flips in that ring since he was a teenager. He plainly stated in the promo that he’s willing to risk it all to keep his title!
In a way, Everett foreshadowed his own demise. I mentioned earlier that the match was very even, almost tit-for-tat. While this is true, there was one determining factor in the end. Everett took one too many risks, and Cam capitalized for the win!
Last week, I thouroughly looked at the history between Trevor Lee and Chet Sterling. I implied that maybe Chet had some animosity towards Trevor deep down. Maybe that bottled up anger as well as him continuously saving Trevor during their matches led to him lashing out. It’s possible that Chet just genuinely felt that the Kernodle Cup was Trevor’s off day. CWF WorldWide fans wanted to find out exactly what Chet meant!
Chet tried to blame his words purely on tension. He gave off the vibe of someone that doesn’t want to fight Trevor. There are two plausible ideas going on in Chet’s head. Either he doesn’t want to fight his best friend,or he doesn’t think he can beat him.
Arik Royal and Mace Li interrupted and tried to stir the pot. This led to a Teddy Long special. I noticed that in this match, Trevor was the superhero and Chet looked vulnerable. This has to weigh in on Chet’s mind and maybe lower his confidence. Will he be even more hesitant to cash in? The clock is ticking!
