Normally I would be watching Monday Night Raw, but I’m pretty sure nothing interesting enough is happening that could make me pass up this opportunity. I have never checked out Prestige Wrestling before and thanks to their poster for the card I was excited. When you see the names Davey Richards and Malakai Black (f.k.a. Tommy End & Aleister Black) you think veteran guys who have traveled the world honing their craft for years. You think two guys that could easily be too guys wherever they go in the world of wrestling and here they are meeting at Prestige Wrestling’s Roseland 2 from the Roseland Theater in Portland, Oregon on Sunday night for what was a mega main event on a card that already featured some fantastic matches. The two have plenty of experience fighting each other in the indies in the past whether it be singles action or tag team warfare, but they are meeting for the first time in years and Malakai has had a resurgence since introducing the House Of Black to the world in AEW. With a sold out crowd in hand, it was an opportunity for both wrestlers to once again showcase what they had and the contrast of styles would come into play for sure.
Both men valiantly went at it from the very start of the bell as both jockeyed for an advantage. Black has some of the most deadliest and Lethal offense in all of wrestling where at any moment in the blink of an eye he can change the complexity of the match. He was able to gain an advantage on Richards as he worked on the knee even executing an inverted figure four, but soon they would get into an exchange of thrusts kicks and surprisingly Richards would get the best of the exchange when he ended it with a well executed German suplex. The two would continue to trade advantages until it seemed like Richards was close to victory. After managing to escape an ankle lock, things looked ok for Black until Richards hit him with a double stomp. Black would kick out of the ensuing pin attempt only to be hit with a brainbuster, but Black would kick out again. Then as I said before, Black has the deadliest offense and he proved it by hitting Richards with a black mass out of nowhere. The rest is rather elementary as Black picked up the victory.
