Another one for the 2006 Necro Butcher hit list. What a year that maniac had. This was probably only about the seventh or eighth best match he had that year but it ruled in all of the ways you'd expect a Necro Butcher/Monsta Mack match to rule. Right away they crack each other in the jaw and from there it escalates to them recklessly brawling in the crowd. I love this venue they're in. It looks like the inside of a barn that a goth's turned into a nightclub. If you told me this happened in the Glasgow Cathouse I'd have believed you. Necro and Mack fight up the bleachers and I've mentioned AMBIANCE in almost every one of these Necro write-ups so far, but it's a pertinent point to make and the lone cameraman trying to follow this madness really does capture the chaos superbly. He has to sit his camera down on the apron for a second to hop the rail, all we can hear in the background is shouting and the crash of stuff being battered off other stuff, then when the camera pans around again Mack has just full force launched a chair at Necro's elbow from fifteen feet. Necro takes an insane running powerslam on the floor and Mack takes an even more insane suplex off one of the benches. Mack throws open chairs at Necro like he's trying to pin him to the wall, paying absolutely no heed to those chairs ricocheting dangerously close to the woman sitting in the stands right next to Necro. Necro's bar fight bit is the kind of thing I like fine in moderation, and I haven't seen him do it in ages so this one totally worked for me. The finish itself might've fallen a wee bit flat, but every punch they threw before it scrambled YOUR brains just watching. Mack headbutting Necro as hard as possible in the cheek was also vile so maybe I'll change my mind about that finish.
