I'm going to do the doofy thing and argue against a nomination in the nomination thread (please forgive me). This wasn't a great match at all, but it was a great angle. Given how hot the crowd was for the teased Wardlow face turn afterwards, I don't think you can really call this a failure in terms of getting that over.

Plus Wardlow couldn't afford to lose cleanly, and Punk getting absolutely hosed up by Wardlow and squeaking out an iffy win fits into the tone of the angle.

Check out the replay for West Coast Pro Wrestling's Situation Critical on IWTV

MOTYC- Speedball Mike Bailey vs Rey Horus vs Aramis - West Coast Pro Wrestling Situation Critical 1-14-21 This match is absolutely insane. A must watch. They did some poo poo I've never seen before. The crowd tossed money into the ring afterwards.

MOTYC- Nicole Savoy vs Masha Slamovich - West Coast Pro Wrestling Situation Critical 1-14-21. Nicole and Masha went to war. Both wrestles in Japan and went full Joshi battle here.

Well worth catching this. AZM is great, Momo is great (how is their combined age just 40?), MOMOAZ was a great tag team who will be missed, and now Momo is out to destroy Queen's Quest.

If you like big hard hitting action then you will like this. That said, after their 2019 match this is a tiny bit of a disappointment. But still stand by this at ****�, it's a banger. Just that these dudes have even better matches in them. Even stiffer.
