Aggression 42 Review and WOTM

Aggression 42 started off as one of the best shows I've read. I think with two or three more segs it would've been one of the best since I joined EPW. The matches were very well-written, the segs were extremely entertaining and the wrestlers are all exceptionally talented.

The show started with the best seg of the night in my opinion. Aston wrote a hilarious segment that also had a lot of strong content. I don't know how long Hart has been coming out to "Look At Me" by Geri Halliwell, but I had to youtube this video. It's pretty damn funny thinking about a premiere wrestler like Shawn hitting the Hart On, getting the 1, 2, 3 and having this pop rockette jam hitting over the PA.

Like I said, every match on this card was well-written and the opener was no exception. A big win for Wells over Olvir, who's potential knows no bounds. There's so much talent at the beginning of this EPW roster and a lot of opportunity for big wins. Wells got a well-deserved one here.

I'm very happy with the way things are going in the Fuse/Stalker feud. Will Fuse finally give in now that he's a member of The Fallen? Will Stalker once again ruin the career of another EPW wrestler, or will Fusenshoff be better for this and turn into an evil heel? How does JA and Lindsay Troy play into the equation? Will Fuse and Stevens get along? What are the terms and conditions of this mysterious new partnership? Time will tell.

Speaking of Troy, her role in this show was perfect. She popped in a few segs and laid down the law. I feel like every time she's in a couple of segments it boosts the show's excitement. The confrontation with The First was another good seg. We all know what her relationship is with the World Champion, but there's some irritation between her and The First and Forsaken too. This adds some intrigue if the Forsaken vs. Stevens/The Fallen feud continues.

The Miles vs Westcott feud has some added spice with the addition of Anarky and Felix. Things took a surprising turn when Anarky went after Miles. Is there a Felix/Westcott beef? I like the transition here as I have no idea where all this is going. Looking forward to all of it.

Big win here for Cam as he wins the Intercontinental title. The Anthology is obviously a major player now in EPW and their first gold is big gold. I don't know if Cruise is the leader of this group or if they even need one. I want to see more Anthology segs with some collaboration between all four members. Four top-notch guys are together now and I want to see the dynamics of keeping these egos in check as well as the havoc they'll cause on the other guys backstage.

Things ended well too. Mike wrote a great main event match and showed a great deal of humility in pushing Stevens so well. This is another tribute to the maturity of the entire EPW roster. There is no OOC issues ever here because everyone realizes that what's good for EPW is good for them, and put the fed first. It makes it a lot of fun to be a part of it all. Also, first title defense since LT, as Jamar pointed out, which leads me to my Wreslter of the Month.

February 2009 Wrestler of the Month: "Triple X" Sean Stevens.

I was going to make this a shared WOTM with Cruise and Stevens, but I felt like the rp period was much more competitive for the World Title match. I hope Shinder makes it back to EPW soon and apologizes on no-showing for a title match. I'm glad it wasn't a ppv. Jamar gets a big win in what could've been a coin flip as Mike showed up and proved himself with The First. There's a reason The Forsaken can't be beat and both Felix and First showed why in singles matches. Congrats, Jamar on a big win.

WOTM Runner-up: Cameron Cruise.

Congrats to Tom on winning the EPW IC Title again. Cruise has been as hot as anyone in EPW for a while now and he caps it off with this win. Anyone challenging for his title better bring their best.
