AWF: OVERDRIVE 2016

I’m sadden to say this, but AWF OVERDRIVE didn’t get out of first gear for most of the event. Most defiantly it was a far cry from last month’s Summer Explosion (http://wrestlementary.blogspot.com/2016/08/awf-present-summer-explosion.html).

Honestly, it was mostly an average event and (it pains me to say this) was one of the lesser shows in AWF’s stellar history.

First I want to say that the AWF Arena was packed from door to door – literally. This was the third event in a row that there was STANDING ROOM ONLY. Which is Awesome. Fortunately, I was able to sit, if barely. It was the first AWF event in their history that I wasn’t in the front row. Which basically meant that none of the talent sat in my lap. :-( :'(

The Highlights of the Night were Aydan Colt versus XXX Lawrence Tyler, after Aydan made an open challenge.

The return of Hudson Envy, who looked freaking awesome in a hard luck loss to Mystique.

Indie Star Mike Camden also shined in his AWF debut (Arizona Debut?) against the man himself, R3, in a match with AWF Title implications. This was a hard fought, gritty match that could have gone either way until the Champ himself, Alvaric Reiner, made sure there wasn’t a winner, only to get taken out for his interference. (Triple threat at the next show?)

AWF OVERDRIVE finally went into Maximum Overdrive in an EPIC TLC Match

between Exciting Evan Daniels and Alexander Hammerstone for the AZ State Championship. This match literally had everything one might want front a TLC match: Blood, sweat, tears, torn flesh, a table splintered by a falling Hammerstone, broken ladders, bruised bodies and a metal chair literally torn asunder by Thor’s Hammer. (No really, this happened.)

In the end, Hammerstone stood tall in victory, holding high the AZ State Championship and winning a new contract, all the while defying the deluge of pop tarts meant to distract him (this makes perfect sense I am told).

FINAL THOUGHTS:
An average show with some good moments and an F@#$%*G awesome Main Event.
