[2000-09-08-ECW-Buffalo, NY] Chilly Willy & Balls Mahoney & Mikey Whipwreck vs C.W. Anderson & Simon Diamond & Johnny Swinger

[soup23]

Same basic setup as the match involving Mikey the night before with Simon starting on the mic and then Mikey responding leading to his teammates coming out. Action is less inspired than the night before as it seems like overall with this house show, the roster was just providing the status quo. The face team is extremely unique with Chilly Willi and Balls mixed in with Mikey but I didn’t think they developed any engaging story of these unlikely partners working together. **1/4

A lot of the same pre-match schtick from the night before. Sinister Minister gives Simon the claw in the corner again, too. CW and Chilly Willy make for a fun meaty pairing in the early going and I liked the strikes they threw at each other. After some aimless brawling the heels work over Chilly a little bit until he nut shots Simon. This sets off a nice cascade of nearfalls as everyone hits a signature move but it's not enough for the win, thought the nearfalls were pretty smoothly put together. The faces take turns doing the Balls jabs and then each hits a finishing move for the win.

 

**1/2

Definitely my favorite match of this show, as this did a nice job of being exactly what it needed to be. They cut to the brawling, get a bit of heat on Willy, have a nice series of big moves and then the crowd pleasing finish. It didn't prolong the brawling (which some of these ECW six mans have definitely been guilty of), everyone got to show their stuff, and it was the right length.

Another day and Simon, Swinger and C.W. have another problem.  Oh, it’s the same problem he had yesterday in that he’s still not over the World Tag Team tournament.  The set up here is the same as what we saw in Cleveland last night, right down to Mikey putting on Simon’s robe which he steals, to the Sinister Minister calling the three of them “Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Da-Fuck”, only difference being Mikey’s partners turn out to be Chilly Willy and Balls Mahoney.  The match follows a similar pattern, C.W. and Chilly being the ones in the ring while everyone else battles it out on the floor.  ‘Swing Thing’ on Mikey, at which point Swinger starts shaking his stuff like he’s Jimmy Garvin.  He catches the kick but an enziguiri knocks him silly.  Mikey ties Swinger in the ‘Tree of Woe’ and the Minister and his testicular claw are back.  Chilly misses a legdrop off the top following a Balls powerslam and C.W. with a superkick as Willy replaces Tommy Dreamer as the one the heels get the heat on.  Combination side slam/reverse DDT for a two count.  The Irish whip is reversed and a sit out spinebuster by Chilly before making the hot tag to both his partners.  A pier sixer ensues as Balls orchestrates the crowd in getting a “Balls, Mikey, Chilly” chant going as they alternate throwing jabs at their opponents.  Iceman Parson flying butt attack!  C.W. decks Chilly with a straight left but is dropped by a Balls superkick.  The spinebuster is fast becoming an overused move and we get our fourth of the match, this time from C.W. on Balls.  ‘Problem Solver’ on Mikey is broken up, the heels get whipped into one another and the faces hit their respective finishers as all three men do the job again.
