Monstrosity Championship Wrestling had a show at Club Famous on Friday night. The idea, for those unfamiliar, is that monsters such as werewolves and vampires wrestle each other. The audience was made up of wrestling fans, monster fans, and people who are into horror/goth rock. Not only did we get a wrestling show, we also got to see a performance by a band called Casket Creatures. It isn't just a novelty show. I can honestly say that I saw some of the best wrestling there from The Phantom and The Curry Kid in particular.
The first match of the evening started out like a normal wrestling show. It was a tag team match between Worst Case Scenario and the Washington Bullets. Like every PCW show I've attended, the bullets get a lot of love from the audience. I can say that they have the best in ring chemistry of any tag team I've seen work together. This match was interrupted by a a zombie invasion, and was declared no contest.
The second match was between The monster killer Assesino and Von Reaper. This was the first time I'd seen Von Reaper wrestler,and I was pretty impressed with him. I love his mask. The place was packed by this time, and it was hard to see from the chair I'd staked out by the bar earlier in the evening, so details for the match are sketchy.
My favorite moment of the night had to be the promo that a wrestler named Markie Dreamer came out and cut. Apparently his "hollywood" agent had booked him to be in the show, and he was ticked because he never wrestles for fewer than 500 people. He also went on about how Monstrosity Championship wrestling was a joke, and how the people running it were ruining the industry. He called the show a disgrace, and said that it was disrespectful. I'm not sure, but I believe his comments reflected the beliefs of a certain other wrestler also named Dreamer who'd said similar things on Facebook this past summer.
The women's match between Pandora and Nina Monet was also very good. Pandora's body paint was amazing. Nina won the match, and I'm not certain but I think that might have been the first time I'd seen Nina Monet beat Pandora with a clean finish. Pandora was turned into a zombie after that.
The Alabama Wolfman and the fabulous vampire Dragula settled some of their long standing rivalry as the Wolfman's racist homophobic cousin, the Kentucky Wolfman came out to fight Dragula. These two were funny. Dragula had a lot of fun flirting with the referee. In the end, Dragula wins because the Kentucky werewolf got himself too drunk to fight by chugging his moonshine. Dragula picks up the pin.
The match between rock, paper, and scissors was the match the piqued my curiosity the most before the show. I was most amused by how they were going to handle the costuming for that one. Paper comes out and he's wearing a white paper suit, white mask, and he's carrying a cardboard belt that says "paper champion". Rock wore foam rocks around his head and arms and his face was painted. Scissors came out with a pair of big scissors and wearing a mask with scissors on it. Scissors ends up winning the match by defeating paper. This is a rivalry, however, that I doubt we've seen the last of.
The final match is the elimination tag team match to save humanity from the evil Papa Marco and his zombies. There is great teamwork on both sides of this match. Mason and The Phantom pulled off a particularly good double team move. Fred Yehi does beautiful clotheslines. The Curry Kidd not only does a good move called the "curricanrana" but he also put someone in a crossface. Curry Kidd was the first eliminated, and Supernatural was the second. Mason is stuck in the opposing team's corner for a while getting the crap kicked out of him. He has fortitude and perseverance. He won't give up even though he's being beaten. Eli Ellis from worst case scenario is the next eliminated. Yehi is elminated next by Ethan Case. Phantom eliminates Ethan Case next after doing a very cool aerial move. Mason is eliminated by Marco after a chokeslam. It is now down to just Papa Marco and the Phantom. The Phantom wins with a brainbuster. Humanity is saved from the evil zombies.
El Phantasmas, author/creator of the blog Needless Things, was a fun addition as ring announcer. He managed to get a lot of pop for a box of meat that was the grand door prize for the raffle. He made a lot of great jokes throughout the show.
Overall, I really enjoyed this show and I look forward to the next time it happens.
