Narrator here. This is a unique promo style, but why not, right? This is another tribute to the IWC over at Bleacher Report, because, frankly, this is what they do. They take the tiniest molehill, and turn it into a mountain because, well, until or unless there’s a way to witness 24 hours of quality wrestling, there’s just not enough wrestling on TV to only talk about the main points. So EVERYTHING gets dissected. And dissected.
So here’s to you, Bleacher Report. I present, what fans of APW would be saying about this burgeoning feud between Kid Dynamo and Dan Quinn, if they were also B/r writers as well.
APW News: Is the Feud of the Year going by without fans even knowing about it?
At last night’s annual awards show, APW fans voted CJ Gates vs. Biggs as the Feud of the Year, and deservedly so. There’s nothing like personal feelings and the Undisputed Championship to help elevate a conflict. But, like every award category after the 2011 winner was announced, fans are left looking ahead and wondering who and what will be nominated next year when the 2012 awards come around.
In this case, an early nominee may be throwing its hat into the ring, but, since that ring is a House Show ring, many fans are missing out.
I’m talking about two newcomers to APW: Kid Dynamo and Dan Quinn, both part of the APW’s effort to jump-start 2012 by grabbing some fresh faces at the end of the year. As they have done in the past, these guys have been competing in house shows since getting signed earlier this month against some of APW’s unnamed jobbers in an attempt to give them opportunities to showcase their moveset and demonstrate their personas prior to making it to television in January. Squashing people who are paid to do nothing more than sell whatever offense is projected upon them is nothing substantially new, but what has begun to brew between these two is.
Seymour Wenderfleffen from WeWatchWrestling.jl reports:
Unexplained bad blood has formed between rookies Kid Dynamo and Dan Quinn recently during APW’s latest house show tour. It appears to have started after Dynamo’s debut win at the House Show on the 28th. Following his win, a pre-taped promo aired on the big screen, with Dynamo ripping Dan Quinn seemingly for no reason other than the fact that Quinn was a heel that was also at the show.
Since then, the two have been lobbing increasingly venomous promos back and forth at one another, quickly becoming the talk of the house show circuit as people are struggling to recall such a feud developing entirely at the House Shows and independent of Overdrive and Asylum, much less between two newcomers who have never met before.
Venomous is right. Dynamo has quickly dubbed Quinn a hack with no wrestling skill (something Quinn hasn’t exactly disproven in his house show bouts so far) and labeled him as uncreative and cliché (which sounds like a very polite way to call him an idiot). None of this compares to Quinn, who has accused Dynamo of being a pedophile and registered sex offender, seemingly based solely off of the “weirdness” of Kid Dynamo having “Kid” in his ring name. (Even if he has never heard of Kid Kash or Kid Romeo, you’d think a British wrestler would know Kid McCoy)
The best part is how this is growing. Word is spreading about this feud and anticipation is growing for these two promising newcomers to step into the APW ring and settle their differences, but that so far is yet to be determined. The House Show tour continues to keep them separate, wisely saving rookie vs. rookie matches for television in order to get one or both of them a following, and neither Asylum nor Overdrive are advertising this match.
I will say this: anyone who has seen these two compete has to be looking forward to this. Dan Quinn seems like an unlikely candidate for the monster heel, seeing as how his 6’1” 260 frame is far from imposing, but he has been tearing people apart so far.
Dynamo, on the other hand, shows up completely differently. While his moveset is as impressive as anyone would expect from a seasoned Cruiserweight, two things stand out when you watch him compete. One, he offers some unique offense, and not just the kind of general one-upmanship that is prevalent through the luchador community. A couple of the moves that left me and others wowed were a strange twisting snap suplex where, instead of hoisting up his opponent, he spins downward out of the suplex, propelling his opponent to flip on his back onto the mat in a way that looked cool, looked painful to the opponent and, best of all, looked like it could have been done to a 300-pound opponent. Another was seeing Dynamo’s Bad Luck Charm flying chokeslam setup move. It’s impressive to see unique offense that isn’t even his finisher. Since all faces inevitably end up with a “Five Moves of Doom” sequence, I can certainly sit through his: Nothing Left superkick, twisting snap suplex, Moonsault Reverse DDT, Bad Luck Charm flying chokeslam, and his Hangover frog-leg drop. (And that’s not even including his SICK submission finisher; you’ll have to wait and see that one).
But the thing that really stood out for me was his selling. I mean, these rookies tend to make short work of the jobbers, leaving a lot of fans without the time and desire to get behind or against a star. Dynamo, on the other hand, has drug his enhancement opponent through amazing matches, at least for a house show, that have rivaled some of the midcard matches we get from APW TV, and that’s setting the bar pretty high. When you see him sell the jobber’s vanilla offense the way he does, you get the impression that, if you wait patiently, Dynamo is going to find himself in more than a couple five-star matches.
The way this feud is going, the first one of those five-star Match of the year candidates might take place in the first week of 2012 APW programming, because it is only a matter of time before this war of words becomes a war inside the ring.
What do you think? Can two rookies steal the show this year? Can a feud over nothing be a Feud of the Year candidate? Post a comment below and let me know what you think!
