The Mane Event VS Lee Moriarty/Sonny Vice - Ryse Pro Wrestling 6/16/2018

JJZ: I know we aren't that far removed from featuring my new favorite wrestler Lee Moriarty but this match was too much fun not to play forward. The Mane Event look like a million bucks man. At times it looks like adults wrestling children. The size difference is pretty ridiculous but these four men really make it work with the build and the story in this match. I bet money that the Mane event will be on weekl TV at some point in the not-so-distant future. Loving Lee doing the gaga in this match. Adding another layer to his thick ass skillz. We've been able to watch some less is more matches recently that I've been in love with. Add the fact it's on recent independent shows has been such a breath of fresh air. All four wrestlers delivered in this match and I'm hoping you dig it brother.

CJD: I love the Mane Event as our first ever Forever Forward Tag Team Champions. And I love getting back to "Skinny Dipping In A Sea Of Lee" Moriarty so quickly. But I can't say I loved Moriarty Vice as a team. I'm good with goofy pro wrestling, but these guys together had me actively rooting for the heels to beat their asses. The Mane Event continue to impress me with their timing and chemistry. I am amazed they've stayed such a well kept secret. I definitely wouldn't take your bet, they'll be on TV in no time. This match was solid, I could imagine it in the #2 spot on a card or right before something big to break up the action. I wasn't over the moon on it but it served its purpose nicely and finished strong.

The Mane Event VS PB Smooth/Colby Redd - IWC TLC 2/17/2018

CJD: I've never seen PB in a plunder-filled match so I was curious to give this a go. But I still wasn't optimistic with four relatively unknown guys in a TLC setting. Well there's egg on my face because these guys baked me up a layer cake of delicious destruction. Totally different style match than last week but once again I love how much they get out of a relatively simple structure, and I love how big the commentators make everything feel. Literally big, they highlight the size of the wrestlers constantly, and rightfully so. IWC is a promotion that's been around forever that I've always meant to check out more from. For two Philly boys it seems like we've really slept on the indy wrestling scene on the other side of the Keystone State. Hopefully FFFridays help us change that. And I hope all the wrestlers in this match get back on their feet after the pandemic because I want to see more of all four of them.

JJZ: Well well well. Got a little joined in progress action. An indy TLC match has an even more dangerous feel to it because you know the quality of the weapons are not the same as in WWE. Not saying that WWE TLC matches aren't dangerous. This was a really fun spotfest that made me want to watch the feud leading up to this match. All four wrestlers came out of this match looking better for it. The spots were hard to watch and it made you really feel for the talent in this match. Like you said the commentators did a great job and made this feel like a Wrestlemania moment for everyone involved. You know all four guys limped out of bed the next day very sore but very proud of what they did in that ring.
