Beyond Battle of Who Could Care Less (2016)

Emenating from 'The Aurora' in Providence, and not Fete, the production aesthetics for the DVD viewer is a lot less pleasant. The poor lighting, jittery editing and odd viewing angles had me frustrated all night. Because it's been a constant for years I'm very accustomed to PWG's well-positioned hard-cam giving us TV viewers a clear, if distanced, observance of what's going on. Here Beyond was constantly searching for the best vantage point a DVD audience can view the proceedings so I did not enjoy the ride the director put us on. Anyway, EE was a late replacement for a banged up Hero and they had a fine match that stayed in second gear too long but wrapped up nicely. J Janela interrupted the long-winded Starr post-match speech and I look forward to seeing them after DS returns from his Oct sojourn in Germany. The teamwork of The Secret Society upended the larger and more experienced trio of D H Squad +. I'm a big LuF fan so her getting comeuppance on Alexxis (from a WWR show) was pleasing. This month's Crusade for Change match was better than the norm thanks to the high spots of the former trainees of the WWA4 wrestling school. Lee/Fox-y was lovely if it felt the spots came off as too pre-planned. CO'N/D Barry was mic-fun but only 68 secs. long. Of the final three singles bouts avoid the empty first ten minutes of JG/TW but all else, CD's bitterness/ring intelligence of T End/DD eager to have a gr-8 match w/ a man he greatly respects, is gritty, captivating stuff.
