At the Crescent Ballroom
Phoenix, AZ
Two weeks ago (2 years to the date I survived my brain anyeusm) Dave Parrish and I attended a RockStar Wrestling Alliance event at the Crescent Ballroom in downtown Phoenix. Neither of us had heard of this promotion, and as it turn out this was their one year anniversary show.
We thought it was a good sign that we knew most of the wrestlers on the card, even though they never listed any matches.
The number 3 comes up a lot in life.
There is a myth that woman know within 3 seconds if they will sleep with a guy or not.
The Holy Trinity is 3.
One can win or lose a wrestling match by a 3 count.
Bad things happens in three.
Such as: Dave and I finding out about this event, getting tickets, and attending this event.
One more thing in 3, the main words to describe this wrestling show: Terrible, Atrocious and Negative.
TERRIBLE
This venue is a small music hall, whose set up is terrible for wrestling. The ring takes up almost the entire floor, ring side seats are literally ringside. There is no room for the wrestlers to do anything outside. The ceiling is so low that a 6’ tall wrestler can almost touch the rafters and equipment for the stage with his head.
ATROCITIOUS
The execution for this event was atrocious. It started way late for beginners. The ring announcer seemed to be barely conscious and had no life to announcements. Plus, he would announce the wrestler, music would play, and it would be two minutes before the guy(s) would appear!
There was a live commentary in the house. Yes, someone was on the house mic doing a terrible job at commentary during the show. This I have never experienced before. How terrible was it? A wrestler named KRUGER, came into the ring and the commentator stated, “Don’t touch Kruger, you’ll get Demon Aids.” He later mentioned that two of the wrestlers were such good friend that they even spoon. Nice.
The main event was particularly pathetic, basically used to set up the next event. It was cut short because two refs were taking out, the only two ref the promotion has.
Then the was the real low point, almost forty-five minutes of pathetic cover band, that made me long for my stay in the hospital.
NEGATIVE
Overall, this was a terribly negative experience. It was the first, and last RockStar Wrestling Alliance events I will ever attend. I believe my fellow Wrestlementary Crew member Dave feels the same way.
What really made this a truly negative event is that we have seen many of these wrestlers numerous times before, and know they are much better then what this event showcased.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
We both agreed, this was the worst wrestling event we ever attended together or not. Piss poor with a terrible cover band. It was so bad we also agreed on something else, it doesn’t even deserve a rating. Even a 0 rating would be too high.
We could only hope that the AWF show the next night would save us from this horror.
RATING: DOES NOT RATE.
Witness!
