CWA Maiden Voyage 2014

[Dylan.]

I'm not sure of how I feel about this, but as usual for my hard work and trying-ness I'd like a review or twelve.
Anyone who reviews will get a review from me on their next show.

Opener was great. Christian suplexing Nattie to the outside was awesome, great way to start it off. Mysterio walking on Orton and Christian into the DDT was so good. The handstand springboard into Orton's backbreaker was so creative, loved it. Ending was awesome, liked the surprise win by RVD and Mysterio, and the beatdown of Nattie at the end. Good match.

Loved Styles hitting the dropkick on Punk in the middle of the Nigel rebound. AJ reversing the pumphandle into the Styles Clash was so good, really thought that was it. The piledriver to end it was vicious, great finish.

Gargano vs HBK was good. Loved Gargano's sunset flip powerbomb to the outside. That sequence with the lawn dart reversal and the double superkick was awesome, one of the best sequences I've seen in a while. Loved the appearance by Dolph at the end, looking forward to seeing where this feud goes.

I gotta tell you, I really expect this to be the one time that a contract signing went smoothly. I was so shocked it didn't go well. [/sarcasm] Really excited for this match.

Six man tag was good. Loved Reigns catching Mankind off the barricade into the Samoan drop. Ambrose's piledriver through the Guitar Hero table was sick. That poor Steve Austin can't catch a break with piledrivers. Finish was good, nice win for the Shield.

Tag match was great. Loved Barrett's suplex off the apron to the outside. Cesaro reversing the double team move to knock Sheamus off the top rope and hit the Swiss Death was awesome, such a great sequence. Loved the finish as well, awesome way to end it.

Cena catching Bourne out of the cartwheel was nice. Loved when Cena caught Bourne out of the standing shooting star into the AA attempt, that was crazy. Shield's attack at the end was good, but Sami's appearance at the end was awesome. So glad to see him back.

Good show overall. Posing was good, you've definitely improved from the last show. Pacing was good. Sequences were great as always. Looking forward to the next one!

Opener: match started quick and good, nice diving spots to open it up. Always loved the team of Nat and Christian. Also loved the team of Van Dam and Rey. Handspring reversed into that back breaker! Damn! That was cool. Rolling Thunder into a powerslam! The moves they were doing were awesome! Glad to see them win. The attack to Nat and Chris after the match was vicious, Natalya took an effin' beating.

Styles vs. Punk: This is gonna be a really good match. Nice opening sequence between them. Went back and forth for a while. I just think they were going for their finishers a little too early. That spaceman moonsault to the outside looked really good. Nice Styles Clash reversal. This match is really good so far. Punks got in the Anaconda Vise! And AJ gets out. These are killing each other in this match. Punk kicked out of the Styles Clash! And that ducking Piledriver! Wow. Awesome match. Looks like Punk is a bit hurt after match. Wonder what this means for him.

Gargano vs. Michaels: Match started pretty fast. This is gonna be another really good match. Love the way that you use Gargano, always have. Liked the spot where Michaels was chopping him on each side of the ring. I personally think it was a little bit too early for HBK to do a super kick. I know it's supposed to be an epic match but I think it was too early for him to do it. Like that HBK attacked Bryan's leg. Gargano got up pretty kick from the super kick. Nice outside dives by Gargano! Oh and HBK fights back! A lot of awesome fucking reversals! Michaels locks in the Figure 4! And Johnny gets out. Like that Gargabk did the Yes! Chant. Gargano is fucking nuts in this match. And he wins! What a victory for Johhny Gargano. I like what transpired after the match. Guess Ziggler and Michaels are gonna be a team in CWA now.

Joe & Lesnar contract signing: Joe coming out with the Shield was cool. Lesnar coming out with the Attitude Era guys was also a nice touch. Aw, I would've liked to see Lesnar and Joe exchange some words at least but they're going right to it. These guys are gonna destroy each other right now. Uh oh, Joe is setting up Lesnar on the chair for something. DAMN! Crushing Lesnar's head on that god damn chair. I honestly can't wait to their match. It's gonna be really good, looking forward to it.

Shield vs. AE Guys: Liked the back and forth that was going on in the match. Thought it was a bit early for everyone to be in the ring at once but I still liked the carnage that was happening. The Shield is another team that is used well in your fed. That Samoan drop to Mankind on the outside looked cool. HOLY SHIT! REIGNS CAUGHT THAT CACTUS ELBOW INTO A GOD DAMN SPEAR! He almost killed that motherfucker! That was sick. And Amrnsoe with a Piledriver right through the god damn table! That was a really good match. It actually exceeded my expectations. I'm happy that the Shield won.

Barrett & Sheamus vs. KOW: cool to see KOW team for this show. Liked Barrett's entrance attire. Started pretty quickly for me, but it was good. The reversals were really nice. Like that outside suplex to Hero & Sheamus by Barrett. Oh no! He accidentally knocked out Cesaro! This was a pretty quick match for me but that's all I can say about it. Probably my least favorite match of the night.

CWA Title Match: Bourne and Cena is gonna be a good main event. Let's see what Bourne pulls off this time. This match is another that started pretty quick for me again. It seems like throughout the show the opening of the match was fast, probably too fast. It felt repetitive for me to see it start fast like that for me. I think it should start a little slower, not too slow though. Reversals between the two were cool. Good way to show off Bourne's athleticism. Nice dive by Cena. Ooo! Liked that handsprinf cartwheel into the spin out powerbomb by Cena. That Canadian Destoryer was sick! Bourne is looking good in this match, as well as Cena, and it looks like Cena is gonna win! Oh man oh man! He's got in the STF! Aww. And The Shield interferes. Booo. And Evan retains. Looks like Storms and Bourne have formed a pact of some sort. Uh oh. Off Air? NO. NO WAY. HOLY SHIT SAMI CALLIHAN IS BACK. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. HOLY FUCK. OH NO. Finally! Sami Callihan is back.

Well, what a show. I enjoyed it a lot. My biggest pet peeve through this show was that the matches started too fast for me and some of the matches felt too short. And sometimes some of the guys were going for their finishes too early. But that's about it. I really liked the show a lot a lot a lot. Nice ending to the show. Wasn't expecting that at all! Good show Dylan.

This show was ok just felt like a filler. The opener was great. Really liked the Rhythm of the match. Styles vs punk has to be motn for me. The rhythm here was good aswell and i liked how it ended. In most Feds, people would have someone land on their neck from a powerful move and come back like if it was nothing. Thank God you didn't do that lol. How ever, through out the whole show there was a was large amount of awkward poses like hands, legs and boots. Be careful with that. Hbk vs gargano was ok. Felt like hbk got dominated up to the point that he should've won for story purposes but the ending was nice. Liked how you mixed the dolph and gargano fued with bryan and hbk. That should be a good tag team match later on in your fed. Kow vs barret and sheamus was cool. This felt like a filler but I i understand its for story purposes. Liked how you made barret and shampoo win. The shield vs rock n sock and Steve Austin was kind of all over the place. I understand its a bit difficult to work with austin and Rock because their moves are so limited, but try to make them have chemistry with the shield next time. Bourne vs cena was the second best match but posing was a little off. Shield coming out at the ending to attack cena was cool bevause it gave me that feeling cena was going to win and bam, the shield attacked him. Work on some poses and the attitude era guys.

Ratings
3 way tag: ***1/2
Styles vs Punk: ****1/4
HBK vs Gargano:****
Shield vs AE Guys: ****1/2
KoW vs UK: ***1/2
Cena vs Bourne:***3/4 
Thoughts: Tremendous show overall as I was into this show from start to finish. My original MOTN would've been Styles vs Punk but the Six man tag was just too good. The contract signing was pretty good and got me more interested in seeing Brock vs Joe, plus transitioned right into the Six man tag which was awesome. Now I would've gave the main event 4 instead of 3 3/4 but the DQ didn't do it justice as overall it was a tremendous main event. Now at first I thought that was the ending but the return of Callahan was AWESOME!! Also him making a statement for his return with the lariat to reigns was too good. But overall great show so 9/10.
