Master Class - Controlled Chaos
by Dennis DuBay
Now, before we begin let me be very transparent here. I've only watched the last three matches of the GCW show, Run Rickey Run; so i'm basing entire thoughts on those matches. I'll go back later today and get the full scope of the show, in the meantime, if you want to read about the whole show, click here for Tiffany's column.
Anyways.
Last night we saw a masterclass in controlled chaos. Because, as chaotic as it all seemed last night as the glass began to turn to dust and the blood began to bleed a different color red all of this was set in motion matches and months before.
The chaos trigger was pulled way before the Rickey Shane Page v. Nick Gage battle began to rage, last night. It was a little moment in between that fucking intense intergender battle between Mance Warner and Allie Kat.
In the middle of this beautiful story about a girl trying to find a place to call home - and a dude who cares too much for the house he's helped build that he'll protect and honor it at any cost, something happened.
A fan in the crowd said something. Screamed something. I'm not sure exactly what he said. Sometimes I get lost in the action that I stop listening to the commentary. And that's not a slight on commentary. It's my ADHD issues at play. Editors note, Brady Childs shared this tweet with me, regarding the fan:

I'm assuming it was something bigoted towards Allie, or maybe it was just something at Mance, and being the amazing talent Mance is, took the opportunity to slow the ring action down for a minute and play with the crowd.
But it was that subtle interaction - and the question of, is this legit ... is this a shoot, are things going sideways, are we going to riot here for real ... that watered a seed that's been festering in the GCW soil for quite a while now.
It loosened up the dirt.
The flower bloomed it's plum red petals at the conclusion of RSP/Gage after Page, with the help of his scumbag brigade, stole the match from Gage.
Bottles, cans, chairs and I assume tampons and handfuls of human excrement hit the ring with a ferociousness that made the Hulk Hogan/NWO angle look like an episode of the fucking Smurfs.
For a second, I actually fell out of watching the show for what it was and began to wonder if they'd even get out of the show alive.
And in that moment, controlled chaos was complete. Buy the replay today:
