Relly cool video on Shank to metal music showing clips of him beating up people including a match on the ground outside surrounded by a cage. Shank as the tattooed freak teaming with Shank is a nice contrast. Shank and Lazz have a good shine sequence. A rough moment where Knight takes over on offense in two awkward moves in a row including a weird big knee. Getz and Prazak on commentary discuss which station ECW will end up on throwing out CSPAN2 as a landing spot. Lazz is a good FIP timing little bits of hope spots before he goes back down again. Onyx hits a swantom and powerslam throughout this match and the announcers keep talking about his improvement. A great line where they give credit to Jeff G Bailey for training Onyx but they say he doesn’t take credit, only cash. The commentary does help Wildside a good bit from a presentation standpoint. Inside the ropes, what we are seeing here is either on the level or below the OVW guys but with the interference being placed better and the commentators not screaming non stop, it is easier to digest. Right as I type that we have a weird bit during the hot tag where we cut to the outside and a police officer pulls up with accusations from Bailey for stealing Onyx’s belt. Lazz invites being cuffed by the officer. Bailey has some choice words for Lazz. Onyx interferes and the cop pounces him off. Lazz and Shank get taken out. *3/4

The SHANK video before the match was great. I remember that Yard cage match cause it got so much hype and they used to sell a video of it. I did not expect SHANK to do moonsaults. As for the match, it was pretty basic with lazz taking most of the punishment before the hot tag. SHANK was killing dudes before the Monday night Raw finish happened. Makes sense with SHANK's character but was still stupid.

A cracking music video for Shank prior to the match which includes clips of a bout held outdoors at night, with no ring and the wrestlers fenced in.  That’s a hell of a visual with the fans watching on in the dark and the highlights from it look crazy.  The ‘odd couple’ of Lazz and Shank are clearly on the same page here.  Double clothesline by Shank and Lazz with a double dropkick.  Lazz goes for a double ‘Stinger splash’, however Onyx snatches him but they blow whatever it was they had planned.  Things don’t get much better for the heels as Knight proceeds to lose his balance and fall over on the very next move when delivering a high knee.  Spinning belly to back by Onyx, ‘Swanton bomb’, but Lazz is able to get a shoulder up.  Knight drops a knee across his forehead as it becomes clear their plan is to try and keep Shank on the apron for as much of the match as possible.  Onyx telegraphs a backdrop however, when Lazz goes for a leap frog, Onyx catches him mid-air and turns it into a powerslam.  Lazz counters the jumping DDT with a Northern Lights for a near fall.  Overhead throw and he struggles to his corner where he finally makes the hot tag.  Shank cleans house and hits that awesome finisher of his that starts out like a superplex but he then rotates 180 degrees and it ends up as a face first variety.  Just as he does we cut from the action to the parking lot to see a Sheriff’s car arriving at the arena.  Jeff G. Bailey, who has been conspicuous by his absence, is in the car too informing the officer that the thieves are in the ring.  He says how Lazz stole Onyx’s title belt and tonight they’re going to jail.  Lazz assumes the position to be handcuffed a bit too eagerly as Bailey calls him a “sick freak” and how he’s going to be “someone’s prize tonight”.  Preferably Big Bubba Black’s if Jeff were to have his way!  Onyx cheap shots a cuffed Lazz who continues to protest his innocence as they’re taken away.  An announcement then comes over the house mic saying that the referee threw the match out and the official result was a no-decision.
