Its been rewarding watching Low Ki and Homicide in these humble beginnings but LIWF is the shoddiest of shoddy promotions and the level of competition in this match reflects that. As a result, Ki and Cide do some of their signature stuff but it felt pretty obvious they were taking it light compared to the other stuff weve seen them compete in this year. As a result, this is probably their worst match of the year even including the CZW debacle for Ki because it is less memorable. *1/2

Our second visit to the Long Island Wrestling Federation.  Oh great, another Indy where the commentary is being provided by someone over the house mic!  Homicide murders Rex Rockwell of Just Chillin’ with a lariat and he’s not moving when Ki tries to drag him to his feet.  They get him out of there and after he collapses to the floor you later see him being carried to the dressing room.  Willy fares no better than his partner, Ki showing him what strong style is all about.  Power drive elbow, but the referee is not paying attention and late on the count.  Ki gets in his face and that allows Willy to club him from behind and tag in one of the Legion to see how they can do.  Camel clutch by Father Legion and the camera zooms in to see him throw these weak, pulled punches to the temple.  Ki reverses the Irish whip and stuns the Father with a clothesline.  Running forearm smash in the corner by Homicide, Ki with a handspring forearm smash and finally another vicious looking clothesline out of Homicide.  At least Legion appears to still be conscious!  Argh, those ludicrous rules which mean anyone can tag anyone and partners can end up in the ring against one another.  Fortunately Ki and Homicide treat those rules with the contempt they deserve, Homicide laying down and the other teams having to break up the pin.  Once is just about bearable, but that spot is then repeated a further two times in the match.  Cradle suplex by Deacon Riot on Ki who does a bit of FIP work.  Whip to the corner is reversed, Ki with a flying clothesline and he hot tags Homicide.  Combination Tiger bomb/frog splash from the Hit Squad.  Ki makes the cover with one foot on Willy’s chest, but he grabs him by the pants and rolls him into a single leg crab.  The tags being made by the Legion and what’s left of Just Chillin’ are aimless.  After being ‘forced’ to go at each other again, this time with Ki laying down for Homicide, they drag Father Legion into the ring.  As Riot does nothing and casually watches on from the apron, a Homicide Mafia kick followed by a ‘Ki Krusher’ sees the Hit Squad come out on top.

Watchable when Ki and Homicide are wrecking and dismantling these fools, but as a match it’s bad.  Both the Legion Knights and Just Chillin’ are pretty clueless and haven’t got much of an idea in there, Deacon Riot especially coming across as someone who has been dragged in as a late replacement.  The live ‘in house’ commentary sucked and was there any need to repeat the partner vs partner spot on three separate occasions?  In regards to talk of it being Ki’s worst outing of the year, I think I would still put this ahead of that Jersey All Pro three way elimination match from 3/31.
