[2000-09-30-NWA Wildside-TV] Kid Kash vs Eddie Golden

[soup23]

It was fun to see Kash in a different environment but I think it is time to pull the plug on Golden as a worker. He seems like someone that could put it together but I was higher than most on the AJ Styles match and only had those as good. He was worst here not being able to react to Kash’s speed in any way. The back and forth of the match as a result felt sloppy and the match ended in a lame DQ that featured a decent pull apart but also didn’t have a lot of juice overall. *1/4

Steven Prazak is interviewing Kid Kash in the ring when they’re interrupted by Jeff G. Bailey and Eddie Golden.  Bailey takes exception to the fact that ECW’s David Jericho, Kid Kash, or whatever he’s calling himself now, is out here on NWA Wildside television and thinks that the way he is talking is an insult to a man of Eddie Golden’s status.  Kash says that he’s got the weekend off and thought he would come and hang out with some of his old friends.  Golden then questions, since he is his friend, how many times he has called him since he became a big ECW superstar before slapping him across the face.  Kash takes off his shirt as Golden hides behind Bailey while a couple of officials are out to try and calm the situation.  Bailey threatens Kash saying that if he puts his hands on Golden they will sue him, and that ECW contract of his will be supporting him for the rest of his life, but if he wants to wrestle the NWA Wildside TV champion they will be up for that.  Kash reminds Golden that he always beat him in the past and accepts the match for later in the show.

The commentary team point out that while Eddie Golden is the TV champion this will be a non-title affair because Kid Kash is an ECW contracted athlete and, as such, he’s not allowed to compete for a title belt in another organization.  Not one stand-off, but two!  Golden backdrops Kash over the ropes and onto the apron, however when he charges at him, Kash pulls down the top one and Golden goes flying out over it to the floor.  As Bailey helps his man to his feet, Kash with a pescado onto both.  We return from a commercial break just in time to see a Kash leaping rana from the top.  That draws a “Kash is money” line parodying what Joey Styles would constantly scream.  Golden blocks the ‘monkey maker’ and they run through an ugly series of pinfall reversals and counters.  Kash hits his finisher at the second time of asking, but before he can get the three count is jumped by A.J. Styles and Onyx for the DQ.  The Boogaloo Crew run out to even things up and Kash with a ‘money maker’ on Onyx as the NWA Elite scarper out of there.

The commercial break did hurt the flow of the match but it wasn’t like we were witnessing an all-time classic as Kash pretty much wrestled like it was his weekend off.  Golden wasn’t much better and that series of pinfall reversals towards the end looked terrible.  The only surprise was that it was a DQ finish as I was convinced by the commentary that Golden was lying down.  Really not much to see here.
