You know when you watch a wrestling show on television or on a streaming platform or however you consume this sport we all love, and for like 10-20 seconds they show you a shot of the crowd??? For 1 second I was in one of those!!!
First of all, let’s get it out of the way, Owen Cruze was effin’ robbed, ladies and gentleman. Robbed with a capital robbed. Regan Street was robbed. Syren was robbed, James Evans was robbed… a lot of folks got robbed tonight, (including me, but not at the wrestling show, hahaha :-(,) but that main event tho…
I could say the audience was robbed for not seeing Xander Valentine’s match, but as I left the Enterprise Center on the 27th of October, I could barely remember my own name let alone the scheduled Empty Arena match that none of us were going to see, anyway.
SCW’s Under Attack came and went, we got a new World Champion in Sienna Swan, Bree Lancaster retained her US Championship, a 2019 God of Wrestling was crowned in Alban McConnell, Asher Hayes stole an Adrenaline Championship win and we got some new Tag Team Champions in Autumn Valentine and Ryan Watson.
This was a big night for SCW fans, capped off with a chamber match that gave us a lot more questions than it did answers. Who were all the masked people?! What kind of fallout should Sienna Swan and Chris Cannon expect after Cannon all but assured his fiance a victory in a match she could’ve just as easily have lost?
Honestly, I expected Alistaire Allocco to pull that off. I grew up watching Adam Allocco killing it in SCW. I had far less experience watching his son wrestle, but honestly the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, so when Glory Braddock eliminated Alistaire, I feel like the crowd itself realized we were in for something entirely unexpected. I also thought Owen Cruze was going to have this one in the bag once Allocco was out, but again, in a night of twists and turns, I was wrong, and I loved this show because of it.
Tension. Suspense. This is what you come to a wrestling show for, and we had it in spades! I guess, when Chris Cannon and Sienna Swan are involved in something the unexpected should be expected, these two are like the Bonnie and Clyde of SCW right now, imo, but I think I speak for most of the people when I say that pretty much every pinfall was like a fresh mic drop. The crowd in St. Louis didn’t get a chance to breathe, and it all came down to the promise Chris Cannon all but made that this would be a night that everything would change.
I recommend you stream this event. I will say that SCW has set for itself a pretty high bar to meet each and every event. I wasn’t as invested in a few of the early matches as I was in seeing whether Glory Braddock would honor her father with a win, or just how that would go, but I guess that was the point. This chamber match was worth the ticket price, and the lineup outside waiting to get in. The hell these competitors put each other through was worth the hell of finding my luggage at the airport, or dealing with someone stealing my cell phone from my hotel room after the event.
Of course, if all this was worth it, then watching how it all shakes out in the months to come?
That’ll be priceless.
