Ronnie James doesn’t offer much here but at least he wins so we can say goodbye to the awful fro looking hair style Youth is working with right now. Youth was fine but again James didn’t offer much. The best part of the match was the finish where after a ref bump, Ronnie cheats by grabbing a chair and piledriving Youth on it for the pin. Seven runs out afterward and beats Ronnie down as the announcers are in shock. This was given a good amount of time but was disappointing. *1/4

Reckless is whining like a child about Kevin Kelly booking him in this hari vs hair match. A pair of dropkicks by James and a high hip toss. Lariat off the top followed by a series of left jabs topped off by an almight right that drops Reckless. Youth ducks a clothesline and catches James with a spinning heel kick. Leg drop off the middle for two. Reckless sits on a rear chinlock as James looks to get the crowd behind him however he’s not getting much back from them and a jawbreaker eventually forces the escape. Suplex, Reckless heads upstairs but James avoids the big splash. Spinebuster and Youth only just manages to get his shoulder up before the three. James runs into a back elbow after whipping Reckless into the corner and Youth with a ‘Sicilian slice’. Much to the commentators surprise James kicks out of that. Bulldog by James as the near falls continue. He signals “it’s over”, but Reckless counters the powerbomb with a backdrop, only to backdrop James into the referee who gets taken out. Reckless picks up a steel chair from ringside and is about to nail James over the head with it, when he gets in first with a boot to the mid-section. Youth drop the chair, James with a piledriver onto it and the ref has recovered just at the right time in order to count the three. James starts to shave Reckless’ head with some clippers (not making a very good job of it I may add), when he’s attacked from behind by Seven who destroys him with a kendo stick and leaves him laying after ‘the Redemption’.

 

I don’t think I had ever seen Reckless’ afro so big so there is your outcome before they’ve even laid a finger on each other! For a supposed major stipulation like ‘hair vs hair’, this didn’t have much heat outside the initial “chia pet” chants aimed at Reckless; even when James tried to get them behind him as he was trapped in the rear chinlock they weren’t responding. Strong post-match debut from Seven who has transferred over from Power Pro by the looks of things.

Amusing to hear the crowd chanting "chia pet" at Reckless. Reckless tried here and they worked within a fine blueprint but James works like a guy whose time has passed. They do an admirable job of playing out the story but it never really came together to mean much of anything other than a fun finish with Reckless losing his hair -- briefly -- before a run in by Seven.

 

*1/2
