Just got back from PNC arena. Photos haven’t synced yet, so I’ll post them later, maybe.
After I entered, I went looking for the way to my seat, when I see a guy coming toward me, dressed in black and wearing a box over his head, lettered “Under Rated Over It” Wait, is that Shia LeBouf? Nah, can’t be. I find my seat, about 20 rows away from the ring on the floor, then I start yelling “Hey! I just realized I saw Kip Sabian in the hallway!” to the people nearby.
Dark Elevation taping - Spoilers ahead
Lee Moriarity and Matt Sydal vs. J.D. Miller and Markus Kross
Miller has a mullet, so I yell “The Eighties called. They want their mullet back.” Moriarity makes Kross submit ftw.
Tay Conti vs. Amira
Tay’s pretty over with the crowd and wins with the Spinning GTH.
Gunn Club vs JD Bull and DIM(?)
One thing ring announcer Justin Roberts does is that he’ll announce the star with enthusiasm, but kind of mumble when introducing the enhancement talent, like they’re not worth getting excited about. That’s mainly why I couldn’t get their names right. Aubrey Edwards is the ref and gets a big pop when she comes out. So does Billy Gunn, even though his sons are heeling it up. “Let’s Go Ass Boys” chant gets the Young Guns upset. Colton is wearing a head band. I yell “Karate Kid called. He wants his headband back.” Colton gets thepin with the Sideways Death Valley Driver.
Frankie Kazarian vs Levar Posey?
The dude had dreadlocks and a KC on his butt, so I’m not sure of the connection. Match is pretty quiet until somebody yells “Pull his hair” and that gets a pop. Kaz wins with submission.
Ruby Soho vs Blonde chick with red and black streaks in her hair
Ruby gets a respectable amount of babyface heat and wins with a Spinning Heel Kick.
Private Party (w/o Matt hardy) vs. vs bald bearded guy and pudgy Kurt Angle wannabe
PP actually get a few cheers as they win the Hurricarana Cutter.
Jay Lethal vs Moss?
A lot of people are quoting Randy Savage during this match. I yell "Snap Into a Slim Jim!’ It looks like Moss is about to kibosh Jay, but he turns into the Lethal Injection ftw.
During Intermission, they show the Fan Code of Conduct on the overhead screen. I talk with the fellow in front of me. He sounds like Mr. Haney from Green Acres. His wife is clearly not interested in the show, as she’s reading a paperback.
