Hello my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to my coherent and honest Mae young classic tournament review and overall this is a good hour of wrestling that made me feel I want more.
Before I talk about the matches, I want to give my quick thoughts on the commentary and It was a step up to last year's. Micheal Cole, Renee Young and Beth Phoenix all did a great job in not only telling a story in the square circle but also filling the excitement and passion about this entire tournament and you can tell it just by listening to them. Anyways, on with the review.
Tegan nox was supposed to be in last year's mae young classic tournament but she tore her ACL. This is, in fact, a comeback story for nox (No shit, Omar). There was a point in the match where zatara told the fans to shut up which was funny in my opinion. Anyways, the overall match was decent. Zatara was aiming for nox's knee and did submissions that I don't know, to be honest. Tegan nox wins with the shining wizard
Since last year's mae young classic. Ripley had a completely gimmick/ attitude change. She went from an innocent girl next door type of character to a punk rock, no shits given attitude type of character which I actually like. This match was better than the opening match. During the match, Ripley hit a brutal looking dropkick to Jenkins that send Jenkins to the outside. Ripley wins with that pump handle powerbomb which looked amazing by the way.
Right off the bat, Vanessa Kraven reminds me of Kevin thorn from the revived ECW brand. Feels like I’m burying her just by saying that. At one point, Kraven did a spinning sidewalk slam which looked good but that didn't get her to take the W because lacey lane wins with the crucifix bomb into a pin. Not a bad match.
Killer Kelly by the way, looks like an actual killer. To be honest with you, this is my first time seeing Meiko wrestle in the ring and she impressed the crap outta me. Not only this match was hard hitting but as well as the match of the night. My goodness, what a match. When Meiko did a back flop of some sort and hit killer Kelly's head just looked brutal. Not surprised if she got a concussion from that. Meiko wins with a death valley driver.
Well, I hope you enjoyed my take on the first round tournament of the mae young classic. Let me know what is your favourite match of that episode and follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions. Anyways, stay safe smarks.
