Pretty brutal striking as he does, had the crowd on their feet cheering to "beat the streak" of Cross who was 21-0 in Smash Wrestling. The funny thing is that they played the Undertaker theme song to open the match with a list of all the guys Cross has beaten in the past 2 years to get him to 21-0. Cross was able to pull off the win to go 22-0.
The best match of the night was definitely the Young Bucks vs. Super Smash Bros. Amazing non-stop action, one of the better tag team matches that I've seen in person (my fave is still Bryan Danielson / Tyler Black vs. American Wolves in 2009). The Young Bucks are definitely a lot more over since joining the Bullet Club in NJPW, and have improved a lot since I saw them in RoH a few years ago.
Rich Swann also was there in place of Jay Lethal, and I think that was an upgrade. Swann was able to pull the fans into the match and got things going pretty crazy with cheering and dancing. This was my first time seeing him and he really is great.
Today on Twitter the Young Bucks declared Smash Wrestling to be the Canadian version of PWG which is a huge compliment. I'd have to agree, the place was small but packed, the action was super close because there wasn't a railing and you definitely felt much more a part of the action. It definitely felt like by being there you were a part of something special.
My son was able to get a ton of pictures with some great wrestlers, and after the show the bar attached to the venue showed Summer Slam and we sat beside the wrestlers table. Overall a great night and I will definitely be going to more Smash Wrestling shows in the future.
