127.11.2018Paul Allain6.0FIP is still experimenting with its no rules format, and while there are still kinks to work out, they managed to produce a bonafide good show here. The intro segment fits the tone, but provided only the marginal enjoyment a faceless squash could. The tryout five-way had a nice assortment of unknown wrestlers and they put efforts in, but the bout is a typical disjointed nervous rookies affair. Barry/Barboza featured two ridiculous farcical characters, and thus wasn't relatable. The surprise of the night came in Konley/Cade, who vastly surpassed my expectations, with Jason Cade pulling an extraordinary performance as a resilient fighter, while Caleb Konley was light years more interesting than usual, provided dense action and played is role to perfection. Aria/DiDi was a cooldown match that, complete opposite to the previous match, felt shorter than it was with little substance in it. The bounty angle is a bit cliche, but provides motivation for midcard workers, which didn't make Henry/Barry was less tedious and redundant. The second Stone/Davis match was just as fun as the first, with Martin Stone being an absolute beast, but Jon Davis keeping an hope that he could dethrone the british bruiser, especially come a third opus. Yehi/Cage was short but brilliant, with the resourceful champion finding a unique strategy to dismantle the powerhouse and vainquish him, bolstering his title reign even higher. The main event was even crazier than the previous show's, with all six wrestlers throwing themselves with reckless abandon in creative fashion all around their varied environment, making the Uncle John stable look even more dangerous, yet the FIP Resistance even more fierce, which should build to an absolute climax at the end of the year. There was too much filler and weak match-ups to make this a great show, but when matches clicked they were fantastic and you should come away remembering the pros more than the cons, making this a good evening of solid explosive action.
