Everyone remembers when watching wrestling other than WWE first became a thing. This happened back when the internet was still young and somewhat innocent, but these days, it’s Capitol Wrestling that’s going further and pushing the boundaries of creative storytelling. Someone has to be pushing at the boundaries because otherwise, we wouldn’t know where the boundaries were and we’d just be huddled in the middle of the schoolyard swapping WWE stickers.
Matches:
Texas Tornado Match: Nyla Rose, Ronnie Burton, and Joey Ace vs. the Danger Sanctuary and Stan Styles: Intergender tag-team matches, or just intergender matches in general, are a very tricky subject. They have the potential to do well, but more often than not, they flounder, mainly because some think that man on woman violence is wrong in today’s day and age, but we’ll get into that another time. Some cases of intergender matches are Mark Mero vs. Sable, and James Ellsworth vs. Becky Lynch on SmackDown Live, with the latter being one of the worst matches of 2017, and that’s out of all the things in the world.
Anyway, before the match backstage, Stan Styles has an obsession with a shake weight, and his manager, Portia Vaughn of Luxury Muscles Inc., is upset because his behavior is “unladylike.†Surely wars have been fought over less. Vaughn then looks at Styles and says that if he loses the match, she’ll take the shake weight away from him.
So could Styles focus? He tried, but he came up just a bit short. In the closing moments of the match, Burton and Ace used the bottom rope of the ring (they detached it, of all things) to choke out the Danger Sanctuary. While this is going on, Styles tries to distract Rose with his shake weight. It didn’t really work. Rose responds to this chivalry by hitting him in the nether region with it and then nailed the Beast-to-Belly slam to end it.
