wXw 16 Carat Gold 2012

[Evolution4life]

Noam Dar would be nice. I liked his performance in wXw a couple of months ago. But in my eyes his gimmick isn't suitable for a wrestling crowd, especially regarding Germany's history!

He has a gimmick? God I feel like an idiot now, only seen him wrestle twice (november against Eddie Edwards & Yesterday against Sami Callihan) but he just got his arse kicked (in spectacular fashion) in both those matches, I had no idea he really had a gimmick?

[heavenshallburn]

Well actually he referred to Germany's inglorious history getting cheap heat.

[lightningxlock]

I reckon Tommy End could have a decent match with just about anybody so I dont mind who wins that 4 way. Though I do agree Gresham may be the best, stylistically, to replace Fox.

 

Starting to get pretty excited now. Fridays line up is the best looking first night in years, maybe ever. You've got the big marquee EVOLVE rematch of Finlay vs Sami, hard hitting war of Bones vs Sasaki, a mat wresting fans dream of ZSJ vs Ryan, the IPW UK rematch of Generico vs Marty and thats only naming afew.

 

Bring it on

[Evolution4life]

It is looking fantastic, the 3 of us are heading off from Gatwick at the crack of dawn tommorow!

 

3 days of nothing but drink and watching the best wrestling in europe, possibly the world!

Zack to win this do you think? Beating Generico in the final? After knocking off Finlay in the semis?

[heavenshallburn]

I gotta admit that this tourney was very unpredictable so far. Didn't expect Sami and Axeman (who had a fantastic 2011) to be eliminated in the first round. Production of the show is really great with a big entrance stage, video walls (which have not been used though) and even pyros.

 

Ryan vs. Zack was bloody brilliant

So the last four are: El Generico, Johnny Moss, Tommy End & Zack Sabre Jr. The thing is, I can see logical reasons for any of the home grown guys to win it.

I think that Johnny might end up winning this.

[Random German Fan]

Walter beat Daisuke in the Battle of Oberhausen

 

Zack vs Sasaki was great. First Zack went all Jim Breaks on Sasakis arm, then Sasaki lariated him off the ropes like Hansen vs Kobashi. It was just about 10 minutes long and full of awesome.

 

Weekend has been off the charts (as usual)

[Sixteen Degrees]

Sami Callihan will not be wrestling on the third day, as he needs to get a flight back to the US for monday.

[Snitsky's back acne]

Shame Marvin v Zack or Finlay v Zack isn't going to happen.

 

So many great match possibilities, to be fair. Sounds like some cracking shows, nonetheless, however.

[ROHSteven]

Would be great for Zack to win it - thoroughly deserves it!

[Sixteen Degrees]

Night 3 results.

16 Carat Gold 2012 – Semifinal Match: Tommy End beat Zack Sabre jr. - It sounds like End may have broken his nose in this match

I wont go into it too much as im bloody exhausted but finally back home after a cracking weekend of wrestling, beer and laughs.

 

A very unpredictable tournament with Sami going out straight away, Finlay losing to moss and a few other things but the right guy won with El Generico, sent us away happy and still Tommy End gained alot from this tournament and I now see him at a higher level than I did prior to this weekend. No one gets the crowd going like Generico though, his near falls, comebacks and the whole reverse decision/restart finish against Karsten Beck was a great example. I have to commend Karsten for having a victory dance of the Macarina, absolutely epic heelish stuff. I wanted a dance off with him and Marty on the 3rd night but it was not to be Finlay got a nasty cut on the side/back of his head due to a mental looking chair shot from Moss and was laying in a puddle of blood at one point. Will be disapointing to see Marty back in his usual setting in the UK, without the mental crowd pop, electric entrance with fist pumping etc. It really is something else. I was also a big fan of the entrance set up, a bit stupid not using the video screens but regardless it looked fantastic and can only improve.

 

All around great entertainment, great weekend. You just don't get that atmosphere anywhere else and the banter, the german fans were friendly as ever to us. Didn't end up spending nearly as much money as I though and got pissed every night, especially last night, picked up a t shirt and one of those old school style posters which I got signed by most of the roster. Whole trip including spending money only ended up costing around
