Wrestling Society Xtra 2/27/07
D.I.F.H. (Tyler Black and Jimmy Jacobs) vs. Team Dragon Gate (Horiguchi and Yoshino)
Wrestling Society X, a bright flame snuffed out before it could truly…illuminate? That metaphor fell apart. Nevermind, WSX was an interesting experiment. It aired on MTV, featured a crowd full of plants, musical guest performances (and musical guests on commentary which was a terrible idea in hindsight), Indy stars of the time (Matt Cross, Age of the Fall, Yoshino, Luke Hawx, Sara Del Rey for like two episodes), oh and shit blowing up. WSX brought a lot to the table that American fans didn’t get on tv. Piranha Tank Death Match, [Redacted] electrocuting a guy, an exploding coffin…and yet they got canceled because Judas Mesias threw a fireball at Vampiro. Go figure.
History lesson out of the way, Doing It For Her! Jimmy’s gimmick was being emo (emotionally secure) and often getting distracted by the cute women at ringside which angered his intense, metalhead (I guess?) partner as it cost them matches. Team Dragon Gate are of course Indy legends that were two/six of what is considered an all-time Six Man Tag Match in ROH.
If you haven’t figured it by now, the match is incredibly short. Jacobs and Geniki start things off with some chain wrestling. Jacobs tries to hug Tyler before he tags in but the future star has better things to do…getting into a chop battle with Yoshino. Things speed after this and we start to see some patented teamwork from the DG crew. Not to be outdone, D.I.F.H. show their own teamwork which ultimately leads to a Senton from Jacobs followed by a Michinoku Driver by Black for the win.
For what this was, it was alright. The DG crew and Black are cabs old of much more and if they had more time, they probably could’ve soon off a little more and got a really great match going. But as it stands, a decent from four capable workers…oh and one last note, Pusha T and someone else from the group Clipse are on commentary. It’s not good, and they insinuate that the uber-sensitive Jacobs is gay. 2007 ladies and gentlemen!
