Forever Forward Fridays


JJZ: So I've seen a lot of Aussie Open matches over the past for years. Most of them are on the longer more epic side. So bringing two shorter more light matches gave me an appreciation for Kyle and Mark. What put this match over for me was the comedy touches during the match. It got more serious towards the end but the build is what made the match for me. I was not familiar with CCK before this match. Chris Brooks and Kid Lykos seemed new to me but if you told me I've seen them before I would be shocked. Side note, CCK is a stable and Travis Banks(who I do know)((not personally, from NXT UK)) is the third member. Fyi. All four man brought there A game I thought babycakes. The strikes were popping and the boys were flip flopping all around. Can't wait to hear you comments.

CJD: Chris Brooks seemed familiar to me but he may just have reminded me of Angelico. Which is interesting because in a roundabout way Angelico brought us to this match! This was some big time indie energy. Shades of old school PWG and CHIKARA. I'll be honest, I could have done with a few less thigh slappies. But the match built nicely and brought it home at the right time. A crowd pleaser for sure that left all four guys looking strong. I'm very curious to see where this one takes me next. Kyle Fletcher got to shine a bit more in this one than in other matches I've seen from them. I left this match wanting to see him in singles action, which I don't think I ever have before! Put a pin in that for later.

Forever Forward Fridays


CJD: When this match caught my eye, I expected two things. This match would get a little sloppy at times (especially with that indy as fuck tiny tiny ring), and the oddball pairing of these two teams would make for a really exciting dynamic. Well, check and mate. The future Sunshine Machine were so easy to root for. Credit to all 4 wrestlers for building a hot babyface struggle all match long. Aussie Open are clearly on their way to being stars. Chuck Mambo has put some real work into his craft over the years and I'm leaving these two weeks of matches a big fan. And all that said TK Cooper might have been my favorite guy in match. Everything he did had such a must see pop to it. I love how the crowd is so along for the ride, everything about the mom and pop feel to the presentation. This match feels so right for Forever Forward Fridays and gives you some real options playing forward from here!

JJZ: Jesus Chris, you're right, this match was made for Play It Forward. And baby. This might be the smallest ring I've ever seen. These four guys had such a fun match. Super independent wrestling match. Really exciting spots that popped the intimate but loud crowd. Delightful tag team moves that actually worked in the small ring. The bigger Aussie Open guy (his name is escaping me for some reason and I've watched so many of his matches) performed some good big man moves. CJD this bout was just entertaining. If we saw this at the Southhampton Armory everyone would have loved it. Good shit baby.
