Like I did with the match reviews for Kick Your Face's matches, I'm going to put my thoughts in spoiler tags in case people haven't seen it, yet. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}Out of curiosity, what caused this match to have that stipulation, if there was any reason at all.
The last match you shared, I thought had too much outside the ring brawling, this match, conversely, I thought this match suffered by forcing it to stay in the ring, because the rules said so.
I'm hoping that extremely annoying guy in the crowd was a plant, otherwise... Yikes. At one point, it sounded like the commentator was trying to explain exactly what the rules were, but extremely annoying guy was being extremely annoying, and talked over him.
I think the ending of the match was very weak. He kicks you out of the ring, so you lose. I would have thought in this case, intentionally knocking your opponent from the ring would be like the old throwing opponent over the top rope being an automatic DQ thing.
And then afterwards, you weren't allowed to get any heat back because he took off once you got back into the ring.
Match wise, it seemed fine, from what I could see, but the stationary camera was a hindrance at times. |

Ok, I'm gonna pause the video and comment as they come to mind.
1. It's cliche, but I'd like to see you step over the ropes, not go through them.
2. If the ref is gonna check you and not give you instructions while he's doing it, at least bother to pretend he's checking you. He just kind of felt everyone's knees for no reason. Looks like he's doing something he saw once and doesn't know why he's doing it in a work context or what I should believe he's really doing.
3. Grow your hair longer, man! Only because I think long hair is cool.
4. Your opponent is one oddly proportioned individual.
5. I still think you get knocked down too quickly
6. Didn't like him going for a pin after working your leg briefly, I should believe during a pin, you might lose.
Keep posting your stuff man, I like watching your matches.

I haven't stepped in to the ring once in my life, so i don't think i'm the one to comment, but here's what i thought of the match. First, your pants look like they're falling, tighten em up, or lose them. You're a huge guy, i think you'd look better without them  the Heel work is Okay. The match finish was rubbish. gotta agree with Cole here, Step over the rope. that's all i can come up with at this time of morning, Good work! |

I'm trying to work on the not getting knocked down part. I can't exactly get over that rings ropes since they are cable, I end up crouching my self when I do. With the ref thing I was trying to be an asshole to him and ignore him trying to check me. I'm working on the hair I haven't cut it in years. |

Also, that guy should not have done the Bronco Buster to you. That looked awful, and possibly painful for you. Besides the one irish whip botch, it wasn't too bad of a match. And yeah, that ending was pretty stupid. If they were gonna do that, they should've had you rush him, he ducks, making you fly over the ropes to the floor. |

What are you considering for a new name? The American Sasquatch I wouldn't. Tower is a decent name. |

I wouldn't. Tower is a decent name. I find it to generic and can't think of much merchindise wise for t-shirts and stuff. |

Are you aiming for a full repackage of your wrestling persona, or just a name change?

I wouldn't. Tower is a decent name. I find it to generic and can't think of much merchindise wise for t-shirts and stuff. Instead of calling yourself 'Tower', why not adopt the last name 'Hightower'? I'd suggest 'Reno Hightower', but I don't want Kurt Russell to sue you. LOL |

With your current name, I don't know what your finisher is, but if it's not called the Towering Inferno, that must be rectified immediately.

I'm certainly not entitled to make an opinion, but I will.
I think you need more presence, a bit more full on anger. When taunting the crowd, perhaps a bit more grunt... It came off more sarcastic than sadistic, again, not sure what you're going for. Having said that, one static camera doesn't really help the cause.
Also not sure that the very very very loose pants suit
With that being said, I'll continue to keep an eye on your work, good stuff
