Welcome to Progress NastyYaffa. 'Progress' is sometimes a misnomer, but you picked a quality show to come aboard. What an electric crowd/great venue! Keen through-line of tonight's gig, that of J Havoc attacking his (too? ) many foes w/ a baby's thirst for vengenance, but it fit his denouncement as those who are too-focused on their immediate concerns are oblivious to the long-term: the Main was no-DQ, and thus one of these foes will get back at Havoc. Ospreay hasn't won a match in this fed since '15, so it's a testament to his skillset & success elsewhere that he can be taken seriously and not as a losing laughingstock. Though selling in the Main Event was non-existant, there was a lot of entertaining 'smoke and mirrors' w/ tables, barbed wire, and my favorite - J Havoc slicing the skin, as if a paper cut, between Dunne's fingers and then pouring lime juice over the fresh wound. W/ Havoc's loss I hope he moves on to settle his blood feuds, and Dunne is given a fresh challenge. The evening opened w/ the SPPT finally getting their shots at the tag shields. Banks has an admirable serious-minded intent, but as a stand-alone he may lack the charisma to be a star. As a longtime veteran, older than most of the current British talent, one would think T Seven would put more effort in scultping his body as he's no C Hero. Is he hurt? I dug Ligero's comedic presentation against the bluster of Z Gibson. Ole! So tonight Sexsmith wanted to be taken seriously. Improve as an in-ring storyteller, dude, and not just execute tons of moves. Ospreay/Andrews was my match of the night - incredible - and I don't know how Os gives this much night after night. Easy prediction: RingKampf will win Progress's tag belts in '17. Cruz/Webster went on-and-on... Did Cruz previously send Webster packing as there were too many incredulous kickouts. NN's arms look like Rousey, not Bailey = gimmick does not match appearance. Jinny has presence and like many I have a crush. 7. 25
