Thanks to Jason Solomon I was able to hear about the House of Glory show. In my ventures into reviewing pro wrestling, I want to check out all I can, and this was an independent that I heard had a good following and some great matches. So here we go, my thoughts and results from House of Glory Beware the Fury from 5/19, streamed on FITE Plus.
Nolo Kitano defeated Jodi Aura
Two smaller guys here, and I don’t mean just height.
Overall, small guys, which meant fast paced good wrestling. These two put on a
show with some high flying, fast paced reversals, and good overall back and
forth. In the end Nolo Kitano would get the pinfall, in a solid opener, but nothing
too crazy stood out to me. Good stuff, don’t get me wrong.
Blackmon defeated Evander James
I had to double check on who these people were, but the
match wasn’t half bad again. A little back and forth here, some good moments,
and nothing to write home about. A standard modern wrestling match.
Cashflow Inc. defeated The Brick City Boyz
Not a long match here, and a fast one. The two battled
nicely, back and forth tag action, but in the end, it was too short for me, and
really was blink and you’ll miss it. It was under 7 minutes, to be exact, and
well, not much to write home about again. Still a good effort, I liked it fair
enough.
Charles Mason defeated Jake Something in the HOG Crown
Jewel Title Match
Now this went a good amount of time, and it was fun to see
the two work together. I haven’t heard of these two before, so it was
interesting to see them grapple. Lots of back and forth action, with some solid
power moves, and nice offense from each. Mason would get the upper hand in the
end, and boom, the 1,2,3.
Joey Silver wins a HOG Cruiserweight Title Gauntlet Match
HOG doesn’t have the names of their talent on screen, so you
have to pay attention to who is coming out. I couldn’t make out everyone that
came out, but I know that joey Silver won this matchup, and it was really cool.
There was a lot to offer here with a great deal of kicks, high flying maneuvers,
and action that spilled outside of the ring at times.
The Ultra Violette defeated Miyu Yamashita in the Hog women’s
title match
The women’s match for HOG featured a great deal of back and
forth, some good fighting and awesome moments. I loved it to be honest. Yamashita’s
style meshed ok with Violette and the two put on a back and forth option that
was fun to watch, and simply a good call.
The Mane Event defeated the Motor city Machine Guns
This wasn’t for a title or anything, but it was one of the
main advertised matches. I thought that this was a lot of fun, and featured a
great deal of back and forth. I loved the tandem moves, and the fact that both
teams worked together. I was impressed by The Mane Event at times, and
definitely have seen the Machine Guns wrestle beforehand. Great tag match, but I
though the Machine Guns had it, nope, they lost but what a match.
Matt Cardona defeated Jacob Fatu for the HOG Heavyweight Title
This match was quite good overall. I loved the back and
forth here, with Fatu picking up Cardona with relative ease at times. Cardona
was fast, and showcased his stellar offense at times, and proved why he is
currently being called the king of the indies. I liked the match, and see Fatu
joining the Bloodline eventually. I would have him join, anyways. As for Cardona,
he is so smooth at times, it’s tremendous, and I’m a fan now.
Overall Thoughts
Overall, I thought that this night of wrestling was good.
Not great, but really good. I loved the action, and didn’t need any storyline
like in WWE or other federations. I liked the back and forth of the wrestlers,
and really appreciated the effort of everyone involved. I really liked that
main event, and recommend that everyone check it out.
