| Favourite Non-ROH Indy match(es)?
I thought it be best to ignore ROH in this thread because, let's face it they are sort of seperate to the rest of the indy scene and a "Fav Indy Matches" thread would be filled with ROH-ness, so I thought it would be good for people to share their love for matches outside of the Code Of Honor. So what are your favourite matches from PWG, CHIKARA, CZW, IWA et al?
Mine would have to be a CM Punk vs Chris Hero vs Colt Cabana triple threat from IWA-Mid South. I can't remember the date but it was back when Punk was the heel champion over there. So many factors make this match great in my opinion. I was kind of sceptical going into the match because I'm not really a fan of Chris Hero as a face, and my experience of IWA matches has been mixed, but I was seriously surprised by how epic it got. It starts with Punk bringing the heelness in full force and walking out early on, leaving Colt and Hero to make with the fun chain wrestling. Punk eventually returns, middle-fingers raised and the match really builds and builds into a war between the three. For the majority of the match Colt and Hero remain respectful to each other and double team Punk. At one point steel chairs are brought into play and they both KILL Punk will them and some brutally stiff spots. Punk dies and they inevitably turn on each other, leading to a great finish will all three men struggling to put their opponents away. The finish as well, a Pepsi Plunge from Punk on Hero onto a floored Cabana, is quite the sight.
So what are yours? |
