2 To Go: WCPW/UAPW would have to do something jaw dropping amazing the next two weeks for me to even keep watching - they've put on disinteresting TV shows on so far and there has yet to be a match or person I'm all that interested in. The only reason I'm not dropping it now is that I said I'd go to the 15th and I might as well keep that promise. It's not like this show is horrendously bad, it's just very slow (30 minutes every two weeks - if they get the new episodes on air - per each promotion) and the matches are either meaningless or showcasing some really overbooked finishes.
Open.
Sam DeCero and Ritchard T. Sin hype the show.
D.O.C. talks to the nameless woman interviewer in the back. D.O.C. is a guy doing the prisoner gimmick, down to the orange jumpsuit (#06660.)
D.O.C. vs We'll Be Right Back. Battle of the Belts, Usual sponsors.
D.O.C. vs Acid Jazz - Scott Thomas and Ritchard T. Sin
are your announcers. Before the break, Sin pointed out that D.O.C. probably
stood for "Department of Corrections", but then after the break he was
astounded when Thomas pointed out that D.O.C. probably stood for
"Department of Corrections." That could have something to do with that
part being the "live look at the desk shot" and the voice over being
taped later, but I'm not sure they do a voice over later. Lockup, Acid pushed
down, he's back up. Lockup, DOC with a slam. Right. Right. Right. Corner whip,
reversed, running up DOC enzuiguri, nice. Acid Jazz is hyped as a Giant Killer.
Corner whip, charge in, DOC charges out with a clothesline. Right. Right. Right.
Open hand slap, open hand slap, open hand slap, open hand slap, kick, kick,
kick, kick. Well, I guess it does make sense that the prisoner isn't much of a
wrestler. And that he argues with the referee. Suplex. Push in the corner, kick,
right, right, whip, reversed into an Acid Jazz back elbow. Jazz immediately goes
for the Acid Drop (a reverse DDT version of Spike's Acid Drop
Dudley Dog) and that's good enough for the one two three. (1:54) Jazz
pants are STILL misspelled. Let's take a break.

"The Airtime for Tonight's Edition of the Junkyard has been purchased by Vic Ferrari."
Vic goes around the picture board of champions and makes fun of them. He actually gets some funny lines off for once instead of being 100% annoying. Maybe about 85% "Hey look, that's Lorenzo Lamas! Oh wait, that's Dawber. That's Robby Dawber. Yea, I don't care either." We do learn that there's no more trios titles from these.
Sam DeCero interviews WCPW League Champion Terry Allen. The acoustics are not very good at all in gym, at least when this microphone's involved. Anyway, Allen's hurt from defending his title so many times, and needs some time to rehab. DeCero gives him whatever time he needs - he can defend the title when he's healthy again. Baltazar shows up to argue that - he wants the title right now, he doesn't want Allen to get time off. They argue - Baltazar wants the belt! He gets the belt upside his head, of course. Allen says when he's back, he'll sign the contract and Baltazar will get his match. Break.
Eryk oh no not the Ys no no no anyway Eryk was the one carrying Juli(sometimes y)n.
Eryk (w/Angel) vs Taped Earlier Today - "Julian the Warlock" - I guess they broke up over spelling differences. I'm taking Julian's side here. Anyway, wouldn't you know it, but Julian was actually the won carrying Eryk, not the other way around. And about the Warlocks, well, there was (and is and will be) only one Warlock all along and it was Julian. Now you know. GROWL.
Eryk (w/Angel) vs Julian (w/Drusla) - WHEN SOMETHING SOMETHING SOMETHING. Anyway, this match stems from the mixed tag SIX WEEKS ago; those reruns/BOTB shows killed any momentum right off the bat, which is kinda sad. From reading results, it does sound like they're going to stop doing separate WCPW/UAPW shows (or at least TV Tapings), which could improve things slightly. Eryk (wearing white so you know he's good now) attacks Julian with a lame punch as we start and it's off. Exchange of punches, Eryk eventually taking control. Whip, back elbow. Forearm. Announcers remind us that in that match two weeks ago (their time, if there had be no reruns, six weeks ours, same night taping wise), Julian, Drusla and Baltazar tried to destroy Eryk's left leg but he's not really showing much damage right now. Whip, powerslam, one two no. He hurt that knee on the injury and now he's selling it. Forearms on the mat. Whip, head down too soon, so Julian dropkicks the knee. Bret sit down on the leg. Again. Rights to the head. Right. Whip, no he's to hurt to even bounce off the ropes, so Jul9ian sweeps the leg and slams it into the apron. Smash into the ringpost. Again! Julian in, whip, Eryk again hobbles and can't make it to the ropes, so Julian punches him and drops him with a gut buster. Julian puts him in position - going up to the second rope - flying elbow smash. Julian going up again as Eryk struggles up - and then superkicks Julian on the rope with his right leg. Shouldn't that have been really really tough to do? Eh. Julian falls to the floor and he's getting counted out. It's to eight but Eryk stops the count, because he wants to win this match in the ring. He's a fool, you know? Julian thrown back in. Going for a suplex, but he takes for ever and gets dropped on his knee. Sharpshooter! That'll be it - unless he can get to the ropes, no Julian's pulling him back. There's the tap. (3:50) This is the best match they've had but I could get the same from a Storm squash on Jakked, so...Why doesn't Storm seem to work Jakked anyway? Oh, right, Julian won't let go, and now Drusla and Angel are fighting in the ring. Julian stands and watches for a while, then goes back to stomping Eryk. Finnaly Julian goes to break it up - Erky pulls ANgel and himself to safety while Julian prevents Drusla from doing more.
Bonus Footage: Steve Boz vs Vito "2 Fingers" Fontaine for the WCPW Heavyweight Title Match (Hardcore Rules?) - this is all clips, and clips of a hardcore prop match too. And then they start doing RVD moves. And it's not very interesting. Somehow, there's not only an ironing board under the ring, but also a Christmas Tree. There's an always very painful Styrofoam Christmas tree shot for a two count. And then people start running in, but the clips make it very confusing. Sandra D is first, for to distract Boz for a "kendo shot to the head" (back.) Angel does the WORST LitaCanrana ever and they don't clip it out. Now the Brotherhood's out to beat on Boz - Acid Jazz, who is presumably Boz's friend, is visible standing at ringside and not really helping out his buddy. Superkick, ref pulled but he gets the three anyway, it's very confusing. But it is over. (5:45) That's it.
