He\u2019s been doing compelling work this year in CZW and absolutely deserves more exposure. Moriarty is the Pure Champion, so I do wish he was in singles vs stuck in tag competition but I won\u2019t criticize that too much as at least he\u2019s on the card. Shane Taylor is not entertaining but at least this was short. It is announced Moriarty will be facing Blue Panther next week, so we can look forward to that at least!<\/p>\n<h3>Pure Rules Match: Deonna Purrazzo vs. Marti Belle: Miss<\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019m sorry, but this was bad. Marti Belle needs a lot more development and she hasn\u2019t shown me anything over time either.<\/p>\n<h3>The Frat House backstage segment: Miss<\/h3>\n<p>They call out the Dark Order, so I guess we\u2019re getting a trios match soon. This would be worth investing in&#8230; if they had to disband when they lose. They were fun to watch for a brief time but man did Frat House get annoying fast and not in a heel heat way. It\u2019s more of a \u201cget the hell off of my screen way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>ARTICLE CONTINUED BELOW&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Check out the latest episode of &#8220;Wrestling Coast to Coast&#8221; with Chris Maitland and Justin McClelland, part of the PWTorch Dailycast line-up: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/episode\/wrestling-coast-to-coast-maitland-mcclelland-review-action-wrestling-s-spin-incl-bosby-vs-priest-good-hand-vs-alex-kane-top-team--66619083\">CLICK HERE<\/a> to stream (or search \u201cpwtorch\u201d on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or any other iOS or Android app to subscribe free)<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Wrestling Coast to Coast - Maitland &amp; McClelland review Action Wrestling's Spin incl.

Genuine question. Call them out, make them respond, have a title match. This is just a vague appearance for the sake of an appearance.<\/p>\n<h3>Top Flight (Dante Martin &amp; Darius Martin) &amp; The Kingdom (Matt Taven &amp; Mike Bennett) vs The Infantry (Carlie Bravo &amp; Shawn Dean) &amp; Grizzled Young Veterans (James Drake &amp; Zack Gibson): Miss<\/h3>\n<p>This wasn\u2019t a terrible match, until you look at the talent involved and how underwhelming it was considering that.
