Rachel Summerlyn and Matthew Palmer Are Hardcore



That's a clip shot by the esteemed Brandon Stroud from yesterday's Anarchy Championship Wrestling event, Peace Love and Anarchy 2012. Rachel Summerlyn challenged Matthew Palmer for his World Hardcore Championship, and The Mohawk, ACW's venue of choice, built a new balcony. Put two and two together and find your face on the mat and bam, you get people flying off said balcony to the ring. I don't care that Palmer shrugged off the first balcony dive like it was nothing. Summerlyn staring at him and waiting for him to come back up made sense because she just watched a guy she threw off the balcony shrug it off without so much as dusting himself off and was probably in shock. Why do I care enough to put that in there? I don't know, maybe it's just the preemptive arguer in me that likes to anticipate the case against something I find awesome. I dunno.

Anyway, if ACW isn't on your radar, it should be, and not just for stuff like this. Because it's awesome. THAT'S WHY.

ETA: B-Stroud dropped this knowledge on the Facebook post:
If you need proper context for why Palmer shrugs off the balcony fall, it's because jumping from/being thrown from things is his Thing. Two months ago he got stabbed in the head with skewers and thrown from a scaffold by Masada, so of COURSE this isn't going to hurt him.
So there, that's the reason why Palmer shrugged off getting tossed from a balcony.
