Results from Bristol Hippodrome, west of England
Monday 5 May 2008
Another excellent show from All Star last night, this time at the Bristol Hippodrome. Great to see All Star back at Bristol and they delivered a loaded line up in front of a huge crowd and a great atmosphere. Nice to see some of the regular fans from the Colston Hall days in attendence and really special to see Danny Collins wrestle in Bristol again for the first time in many years. Danny helped the regular Colston Hall shows keep going in the really low period of British wrestling (mid 90's) with a tremendous feud with Marty Jones when most other venues weren't running. The only down point of the show was the Flatliner Vrs Frankie Sloan which the audience didn't like - not sure if there really is any space for 'comedy' matches these days with a much more demanding audience and personally I've disliked the Flatliner matches since the first time I saw them but usually they get a good reaction but on this night the crowd genrally didn't want to see it.
On a positive note, the other matches were excellent and results were:-
Mikey Whiplash beat Dean 2 Extreme 1-0
Doug Williams beat James Mason 1-0
Rob Brookside beat Karl Kramer 1-0
Chad Collyer beat Jonny Storm 1-0
Elimination Over The Top Rope 8 Man Tag
Pierre Oulett, Rene Dupree, Mikey Whiplash & Robbie Dynamite beat Danny Collins, Dean 2 Extreme, Kid Cool & Pete Collins
(Sole survivor was Oullett who eliminated Danny with help from Dupree. Brookside then came to the ring and challenges were made for a Danny & Brookside Vrs Dupree & Oullett tag for later in the year which should be excellent - hopefully that will happen)
Flatliner beat Frankie Sloan 1-0
