Eddie Kingston vs. Arik Cannon vs. Drake Younger vs. Facade vs. Davey Vega vs. Ethan Page (7/1/12)
Absolution is typically the biggest show on the AIW calendar, so I was a little surprised to see this match, which happened just a little over two months ago, uploaded on YouTube today. Three of indie wrestling’s best and three up-and-coming wrestlers met in a six-man scramble in the evening’s second match, and despite everything that happened at that show, despite a good number of contests that will go down as bests in AIW history, this is one that still sticks. Being a six-man scramble, there’s not really a narrative arc to follow here, but that’s fine. It’s a combination of talent, big moves, and surprise appearances. It’s a taste of what’s to come in AIW. And, since this is my blog and since I’m biased, it’s about that one time I got to announce a match featuring one of my favorite wrestlers. -

This Friday, he steps out of his role as a tag team specialist to take on the phenomenal ACH in round one of the J.T. Lightning Invitational Tournament. Fans who’ve been paying attention to AIW know that ACH is quickly becoming a focal point of the promotion. He recently had a mind-bending 30-minute Iron Man Match with AR Fox at Straight Outta Compton just a month ago—a match that should be in contention for many “Match of the Year” accolades—and, in a post-match speech, ACH made it clear that it is his intention to walk out of Turners Hall this weekend with the JLIT Trophy and a shot at Absolute Champion and TNA stalwart Shiima Xion. Many fans predict that ACH will go far in this weekends tournament, but those same fans may in fact be underestimating Vega. (more…)
