Roddy Piper monologue..."no one in this organization will kiss Vince
McMahon's ass"

Jimmy Hart and Hail make their way to the ring to confront the commissioner
Piper...

This leads to the opening bout:
Greg Valentine defeated Hail (7 minutes) after Jimmy's interference with the
megaphone backfires.

Kid Krash (Kid Kash from ECW) pinned Josh Mathews (Finalist of Tough Enough)
(15 Minutes)...This was the best match of the night. The match began with
lots of chain wrestling followed by multiple arm drags. There were several
high spots followed with top rope body splashes onto the outside. Dozens of
near falls occurred before both men executed some finishing maneuvers
resulting in more near falls. Brainbuster suplexes, senton bombs,
superplexes, and last but not least...the patented Kid Kash piledriver. This
was definitely a must see match, and these two gentlemen worked their asses
off. They both deserve to be in the spotlight, and the fans appreciated
their talent immensely with a standing ovation.

Dave Penzer gets annoyed by "What?" chants in-between his
advertisements/announcements.

British Storm Ian Harrison made Norman Smiley tap out to a headscissors
submission maneuver (9 minutes). Yes, Norman Smiley did the wiggle...on his
opponent as well as the female referee Little Genie.

Drezden defeated Big Vito as a result of a disqualification after Big Vito
low blowed Drezden a half dozen times (7 minutes). This match was absolutely
miserable, and they called for the obvious quick finish after a negative
crowd response.

Intermission: Take your picture in the ring with the XWF title belt and with
the XGI girls....Chiquita (former Nitro girl), Chris (a former Asian Nitro
girl...but not Chae), and Gorgeous George (caked up in make-up as
usual)...the line clearly had over 300 fans and was cut off so the show could
continue ($10 per picture).

Hacksaw Jim Duggan defeated the Wall (9 Minutes) with the running clothesline
out of the three point stand. The Wall has certainly transformed his body
immensely and appears to be in excellent shape although this match was barely
watchable at best.

The Road Warriors defeated the Nasty Boys (15 Minutes). This match included
about 8 minutes of stalling which was definitely unnecessary. Since Jerry
Saggs can not take too many bumps, Knobbs performed most of the grunt of the
wrestling match which was quite slow and sluggish. Hawk performed a top rope
clothesline for the victory (nope...not the doomsday device). At a PCW house
show in the Chicago land area a few months ago, Hawk performed a frog
splash...but he did not attempt one at the XWF inaugural event.

Three Way Jeopardy Match: Vampiro scored the one and only deciding fall to
defeat his two opponents Buff Bagwell and Curt Hennig (16 Minutes). Vampiro
performed several spin kicks including one from the top rope. Hennig
successfully hit two hennig plexes for near falls. Vampiro accidently knocks
out the referee. Piper interferes and takes out Curt Hennig running him into
the steel barricade. Vampiro pins Buff Bagwell when Little Genie makes the
three count to win the three way match with minimal fan cheers, responses, or
approval.

Overall, the entrances and the crowd responses were extremely positive
although the wrestling product was pretty lackluster and lame. The second
bout involving Kid Kash and Josh Mathews stole the show, and you will get
your money's worth if you are able to observe these two in action against one
another. The rest of the matches were snoozers. XWF hats=$15, XWF
T-shirts=$20. A near capacity crowd of nearly 3000 viewed the show. Jimmy
Hart's entrance themes are laughable but catchy. I will not be attending
another XWF show in the future...but it certainly made me giggle.
