XPW We Are Not Your Kind

 

XPW is a company that I couldn't get behind politically at first but after watching the tvs and the last show I feel stupid for it now.

Soul Taker squash match

Soul Taker wins via pinfall
1/5

Juventud Guerrera v. Nzo

I wouldn't necessarily say this match was good but it was entertaining. The promos in the beginning were the best part. Action wise nothing to write home about.

Juventud Guerrera wins via pinfall
1/5

The Body v. Lucky 13

This was fun. I love the body's character and how over the top he is at. Lucky 13 is decent too.  The syringes are kind of a rough one for me to watch. Other than that the match was too short.

The Body wins via pinfall
1.5/5

Chelsea Durden v. Sage Sin Supreme

These ladies had a war. The little I've seen of Sage has been great and Chelsea Durden I didn't see much of but I took notice from this. We had some cool spots with tubes. I hope Chelsea's back is OK after that suplex onto the wooden box.

Sage Sin Supreme wins via pinfall
3/5

Big Fn Joe v. Drake Younger

This was insane. So Joe had on his usual gimmick of tighty whities and a white shirt and drake had on some American flag boxing shorts. By the end of this match there was no more white left in either of there gear,only red. This match had more broken glass than a 10 car pileup. Great stuff.

Drake Younger wins via referee stoppage
3.75/5

Masada defends the XPW Championship against Tom Latimer

This match was really boring but at least Latimer got stabbed in the face with skewers.

Masada retains via pinfall
1/5


Kurt Bale v. JJ Escobar v. Charlie Bonifer
The term death match is appropriate for this one because the 3 of these men all almost died here. I saw some shit here I've never seen before. A chainsaw was used here,I've seen it teased but never actually used before. When Bonifer used the weedwacker on Escobar I got scared and thought we were gonna get to see a limb hacked off live. None of these men are stable and I loved it,good lord.

JJ Escobar wins via pinfall
3.75/5

Luidark Shaitan v. Lindsay Snow for the XPW Women's Championship

This moved kinda slow for me. I think just after the ridiculousness of the previous match of the night this was in a bad spot to follow. Both women tried but just was ok for me.
Luidark Shaitan retains via pinfall

Shlak defends the Death Match Championship against Maga Butcher

This looked like a real fight. There was a brawl all over the arena. Shlak threw a chair at Jasmine St. Claire which was Hallarious.  And just blood and brutality.

Shlak retains via pinfall.
2.75/5

GCW Take A Picture

 

Brogan Finlay v. Yoya v. Teri Yaki v. Donny Primetime v. Brandon Williams v. Jimmy Lloyd v. Marcus Mathers v. Hunter Drake

Your typical gcw scramble.  Alot of high spots. Which is extra dangerous tonight due to a carpeted floor. Some botches but it happens.

Hunter Drake wins via pinfall
1.75/5

Cabana Man Dan v. Blake Christian

This match was really boring to me. It could be there trying to appeal to the southern style of wrestling but not into this at all.

Blake Christian wins via pinfall
1/5

Arez v. Gringo Loco

Really good lucha action. Arez to me really stepped it up this weekend and Gringo is Cicero's finest. Some good use of the doors too in this match,good stuff.

Gringo Loco wins via pinfall
3.25/5

Marko Stunt v. Action Mike Jackson

For what this was,that being a lighthearted comedy match it was fun.

Action Mike Jackson wins via pinfall
1/5

Sawyer Wreck v. Billie Starkz

Great match. Sawyer Wreck is primarily known for death matches and in this match she proved she can go in the ring too. Billie Starkz is a phenomenal talent as well and needs a bit more experience but has something.

Sawyer Wreck wins via pinfall
3/5

Tony Deppen v. Adam Priest

This was a decent match that when it got going ended too fast. I like both guys but wanted more out of this.

Adam Priest wins via pinfall
1/5

Cole Radrick v. Allie Katch

This was a fun match. Another comedy esque match. Despite previous posts I am a Allie Katch fan,her story line just isn't too good right now. Radrick is great too.
Cole Radrick wins via pinfall
2/5

Christian Cane v. Corey Hollis

I was not familiar with either man but this match was slow. This has kinda been the theme of the night

Christian Cane wins via pinfall
1.5/5

Los Macizos defending the GCW Tag Team Championship against East West Express

This match delivered. You get 2 of the best teams in GCW in the ring together what do you expect? Crazy spot after Crazy spot and that Spanish fly Nick Wayne did through the door was insane.

Los Macizos retain via pinfall
4/5

ICW NHB 40

 

Akira v. Eric Dillinger

Good way to start the show. Both men proved they could wrestle. The knife spots were very gnarly and I wanna see Eric Dillinger got more shots in ICW.

Akira wins via pinfall
3.75/5

Crowbar v. Tommy Vendetta

Wasn't too into this match and went too long for a Crowbar match in my opinion. Tommy tried to get something out of him but it just didn't happen. It was cool to see crowbar use the tubes though

Tommy Vendetta wins via pinfall
1.75/5

Bobby Beverly v. Jeff Cannonball

What a fucking war! Both men bled like crazy and they used anything that was not nailed down. When Cannonball did that big splash onto that bed of silverware,ouch. Glad Jeff Cannonball is back in the chains and hope to see him back around.

Bobby Beverly wins via pinfall
4/5

Dr. Redacted v. Neil Diamond Cutter

This was a really good match. Redacted was being a great heel by making fun of Neil diamond cutter for coming out to Sweet Caroline and him going over on commentary and talking shit to that crew. Redacted did his signature trash can dive and the way NDC navigates those chains is unreal. Ropes,chains no difference to NDC.

Neal Diamond Cutter wins via pinfall
3.5/5

Eric Ryan v. Toshiyuki Sakuda

Another banger of a match.  They started the match with broken flower pots in the ring. From there Sakuda did his signature Skewer spot,which I've seen before but grosses me out every time. Those 2 were suplexing eachother all over the ring on said flower pots. Amazing stuff. 

Toshiyuki Sakuda wins via pinfall
3.75/5

Hoodfoot v. Matt Tremont in a Texas bullrope match

Match was ok. It was kinda slow and I get it Hoodfoot and Tremont are not gonna have a lucha match,although hoodfoot said he wants to do a 450 and I would like to see this. Tremont had a river of blood coming from his head and Tremont was laying in those cowbell shots.  The ending was what it was and the crowd hated it but that's a bullrope match.

Matt Tremont wins via touching all 4 corners
2.25/5

Brandon Kirk defends the American Death Match Championship against John Wayne Murdoch

This was a good match. It had so many lightubes broken that the ring looked like the after math of an atom bomb. Murdoch is such a shit heel and it's amazing how he can pull off being so cocky,like when he had Brandon kirk pinned and pulled him up to inflict more punishment, great old school shit. The finish was the PSYCHODRIVERFUCKYOURLIFE and that never ceases to amaze me how he can do that and not actually kill someone.

Brandon Kirk retains via pinfall
3.5/5

GCW Don't Talk To Me

 

Show started with A tribute to Jay Briscoe. As it should.

Real quick Briscoes were a huge deal for me when I started watching indies with ROH. I never got the opportunity to meet him but you never want this to happen to anyone. I'm not even talking about never seeing him wrestle again sucks for his wife, sucks for his kids who now gotta grow up without a father,sucks papa Briscoe and Mark gotta bury him sucks all the way around. Rest in peace.

Arez v. Nick Wayne

This match was fast paced and great. This may be the best Arez performance I've seen and Nick Wayne. How is he This good at 17? He keeps getting better too!

Nick Wayne wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Andrew Everett v. Blake Christian

This match was ok.  Honestly Andrew Everett doesn't do much for me. But I am loving Blake Christian's new heel persona. As for the match alot of high flying stuff but nothing too crazy.

Blake Christian wins via pinfall
2.5/5

Jordan Oliver v. Kerry Morton

Match didn't do it for me but neither does Kerry Morton.

Jordan Oliver wins via pindall
0.5/5

Cole Radrick v. Cham Pain

While Cham Pain was entertaining and Raddy Daddy fired up good. The match was slow for my liking. Both were fun but match wise it did nothing for me.

Cole Radrick wins via pinfall
1.25/5

Los Macizos defend the GCW Tag Team Championship against Ugly Ducklings

Great match. Macizos keep killing it right now and I haven't seen much of the ugly ducklings but GCW needs to bring them back in more. Some of those chair shots were brutal and on the spot when ciclope came off the top rope with one of the Ducklings I thought he was dead.

Los Macizos retain via pinfall
3/5

Jimmy Lloyd v. Axton Ray v. Marcus Mathers v. Zenshi v. Terry Yaki v. Yoya

Started off sloppy but got good towards the end. Not much to say about it this was your typical gcw scramble

Axton Ray wins via pinfall
2.5/5

Bussy v. Charles Mason and Parrow

If you've read previous stuff I've written you know I'm not a Charles Mason fan. But with that said this match was pretty good. The story was working throughout the match for me and they got pretty violenvt with the chairshots.

Bussy wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Tony Deppen v. Ricky Morton

Ricky is still fun to watch do his thing. And prefect heel for Ricky.  It was slow but come on,Ricky been doing this since the 70s his hips partially work like they used to.

Tony Deppen wins via pinfall
1.25/5

John Wayne Murdoch and George South v. Second Gear Crew v. Bojack and Ali v. The Revolt

This match was a clusterfuck but in the best possible way. I was really impressed by this Bojack and want more of him in my GCW. Alot of chair shot and table madness so it was a good time.
Second Gear Crew win via pinfall
2.75/5

Gringo Loco v. El Hijo De Vikingo

About time AAA let's GCW show Vikingo on there streams. And if this is what they've been hiding I'll need to go back and watch the previous matches he has had,really good lucha stuff Vikingo was unreal with some of the stuff he did,mainly that 630 through the door, Gringo Loco held his own too. There were a few missed spots but Loco got them back on track.

El Hijo De Vikingo won via pinfall
4/5

GCW Save Me

 

Sorry for the late post but I was on vacation.

Cole Radrick v. Arez

Pretty good way to start off the show. Arez is a pretty good lucha wrestler and Raddy Daddy  is Raddy Daddy.

Cole Radrick wins via pinfall
2/5

Starboy Charlie v. ASF

2 great young,and I mean young wrestlers went out there and tore it up. What else can I say?

Starboy Charlie wins via pinfall
2.75/5


Los Macizos v. Bang Bros for the GCW Tag Team Championship

What a match! Los Macizos are hands down one of the best teams on the indies right now and Bang Bros are from my home promotion of Freelance and they kill it every time. In this match they broke the seal on the fuckery and made this match really fun.

Los Macizos retain via pinfall
3/5

Blake Christian v. Leon Slater

This was straight our of the glory days of PWG. 2 great high flying athletes giving us a great match.  Glad Blake is adapting the heel persona and GCW needs to bring Leon Slater in for another US tour.

Blake Christian wins via pinfall
3/5

Joey Janela and Jimmy Lloyd v. Second Gear Crew

This was great and chaotic. This was supposed to be Joey janela and Tony deppen but deppen had travel issues. This plus side is we got this insanity including Matthew Justice doing a balcony dive. Sucks I was out of town for this one.

Joey Janela and Jimmy Lloyd win via pinfall
3.5/5

Alec Price v. Rocket v. Mago v. Robert Anthony

This to me was a weird scramble.  Love Alec Price and loved Robert Anthony in Freelance but not as familiar with the other 2. The match was ok though but didn't have the pizaz of the usual scrambles.

Alec Price wins via pinfall
2.5/5


Mason's Mercenaries v. Thrussy

Charles Mason no showed tonight so it was a handicap match

The match itself wasn't too good, I mean how you gonna have Slade and not have him try to kill someone within a minute? But the thing with Billy Dixon was cool.

No contest
1.75/5

John Wayne Murdoch v. Homicide

Homicide looked fucking good in this match! My only complaint was it was too short and since there wasn't allowed to be alot of death match stuff on this show it wasn't to JWM advantage.

Homicide wins via pinfall
2.25/5

East West Express v. H8 Club

Match was ok. I like that Gage and Tremont who are 2 primarily death match guys stepped out of there element and had a straight up wrestling match against 2 of the best pure wrestlers on the GCW roster in Jordan Oliver and Nick Wayne. The match itself started slow but once Gage got the comeback picked up and when the doors came Into play it really picked up.

H8 Club win via pinfall
2/5

GCW 56 Nights 2023

 

Cole Radrick v. Masha Slamovich

From what I could see of this match it was good. The problem was I was watching on fite and the audio was bad and it took me out of it, when they came to it looked like a good match but again I missed the beginning so I don't think it's fair to rate this.

Masha Slamovich wins via pinfall
NA

Leon Slater v. Nick Wayne

What a great match. Both young cats went out there and put on a barn burner. cannot wait for Wayne to graduate high school to be on national TV every week and Leon Slater looked great this weekend and I hope gxe keeps bringing him back.

Nick Wayne wins via pinfall
3.5/5

Tony Deppen v. Willie Mack v. Joey Janela v. Jordan Oliver v. Alec Price v. Blake Christian

Fitting this match is in a casino because this is a big gamble. Winner is number 30 in the do or die rumble and the loser will be replaced in that match. This was your average scramble, very high spot heavy.

Blake Christian wins via pinfall on Joey Janela,so Blake Christian is number 30 in the rumble and Joey Janela will be replaced
2.75/5

Sawyer Wreck v. Dark Sheik v. Billie Starkz v. Maki Itoh

This was a really fun. Really been digging Sawyer lately, and Maki you can't deny her charisma. Sucks that Sawyers cut from yesterday reopened but that's part of the job.

Maki Itoh wins via pinfall
2/5

Mad Man Pondo v. Matt Tremont

I was really anticipating this match and it delivered.  If you're expecting something fast paced this match isn't for you. If you are into 2 legends trying to kill eachother then this is for you. Tremont getting stabbed in the face was gnarly and that structure towards the end of the match they built was sketchy but it worked

Matt Tremont wins via pinfall
3/5

Do or Die rumble

I don't really know how to review a rumble so I'll skip that part. Kinda dragged on to me because I'm tired but that could be it.

Masha Slamovich won the rumble
2.75/5

JCW Battle Bowl

 

 I'm hungover as shit so this is perfect for me

For those not familiar with the old WCW pay per view rules
2 teams are selected to random
The winners advance to a main event battle royal for some shitty ring




Midas Black and Charlie Tiger v. Ellis Taylor and Jay Lyon

The story of the match was team v. Team as in 1 person from each tag team was on one side. Match was ok

Ellis Taylor and Jay Lyon advance via pinfalll
1.5/5

Kerry Morton and Axton Ray v. Wasted Youth
Man Kerry has some heat,rightfully so though. He ain't no Ricky. Wasted Youth were great here but still not that great of a match

Wasted Youth advance via pinfall
1.5/5

Gabriel Skye and Austin Luke v. Griffin Mccoy and Alec Price

This was a pretty good match. I didn't know much Skye or Mccoy but I am a fan of Price and Austin Luke.

Griffin Mccoy and Alec Price advance via pinfall
2.25/5

Beastman and Sam Stackhouse v. Yoya and Mago

Big guy versus little guy match Not much to it
Beastman and Sam Stackhouse advance via pinfall
1/5

Sawyer Wreck and Azriel v. Billy Dixon and CPA


This match was fun and everyone get their signature stuff in,only thing was it's hard to get into these matches on battle bowl because there thrown together teams so it kinda brings the match quality down.

Billy Dixon and CPA advance via pinfall
2/5

Jimmy Lloyd and Rob Shit v. Manders and Bam Sullivan

There wasn't much too much to this match honestly burnt out on this show and it's not these wrestlers fault I just don't like the concept.

Manders and Bam Sullivan advance via pinfall
0.75/5

Billy Starkz and Big Vin v. Janai Kai and Brogan Finlay

Not much to this,honestly now I know why this was bad in WCW

Billy Starkz and Big Vin advance via pinfall
0.25/5



Battle Bowl

This took awhile to get going but by the end it got really fun and picked up the momentum of the show.
Happy Alec Price got the win and he's on track to have a break out year

Alec Price wins the battle royal
3/5

GCW Til Infinity

 

*Disclaimer: this show was new years eve. So if stuff doesn't make sense by the end I was drinking and eating homemade nachos,happy 2023*

Nick Wayne and Jordan Oliver v. Wasted Youth

They let young (dumb and broke) guns go our there and wake up the AC crowd whose I'm sure been drinking all day. What a way to do it though.  Both teams on point and what else is there to say . Oh and sick name for Oliver and Wayne,East West Xpress baby.

East West Xpress win via pinfall
3.5/5

Kerry Morton defends the NWA Junior Heavyweight Championship against Jimmy Lloyd

Was kinda bored with this match to be honest and it wasn't Jimmy lloyd because that man embodies charisma.

Kerry Morton retains via pinfall

0.75/5


Effy v. Blake Christian

Match was pretty good. Not sure why AC hates blake Christian though. It was a nice change of pace to get people back into the show to just have a lighthearted fun match.

Effy wins via pinfall
2/5

Leon Slater v. Tony Deppen

Great match. I keep saying this but why is Deppen not signed? And Leon Slater got that please come back chant for a reason and I really hope to see more of him. That dive over the ring post,yeah that spot is done alot but still sick to see.

Tony Deppen wins via pinfall
3.25/5

Maki Itoh v. Allie Katch

This match was incredible. If Maki wanted the respect of the king I think she earned it with that pizza cutter. This is the best I've seen Allie look in awhile and hope she can keep it up.

Maki Itoh wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Los Macizos defend the GCW Tag Team Championship against Masha Slamovich and Akira

What a fucking match. Ignorance just total ignorance. Masha took a jackass bump with a shopping cart. Everyone there was bleeding and honestly this proved Akira isn't just opening show material he can do mid card,main event he can do it all. Total war and way to start 1 year and end another.

Los Macizos retain via pinfall
4.75/5

Sam Stackhouse, Axton Ray,Shane Mercer and Rob Shit v. Manders, Cole Radrick,Dark Sheik and Mance Warner

This was just a crazy ass spot fest with brutality and I'm here for it

Second Gear C**t win via pinfall
2.5/5

Speedball Mike Bailey v. 2 Cold Scorpio

This was a great match. Speedball had a great comeback to the states this year and 2 cold still has it in 2022 going on 2023.

Speedball Mike Bailey wins via pinfall
3.5/5

Starboy Charlie v. Willie Mack

Pretty good match. I don't have too much to say about it other than starboy is an appropriate name because Charlie is gonna be a star.

Willie Mack wins via pinfall
2.5/5

Sawyer Wreck v. John Wayne Murdoch

Last death match of 2022 and it was a good one. Both people bled really good and I hope Sawyers arm is OK because that cut on her shoulder looked really deep. But she didn't lose any momentum at all.

John Wayne Murdoch wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Yokai v. Billie Starkz and Brogan Finlay

Match was short but a nice pick me up match.

Yokai win via pinfall
1.25/5

ICW NHB Pit Fighter 14

 

 Akira v. Alec Price

I know it's a running joke on ICW to have Akira to start the show but this match is an example of why he does. Whether you need a death match or a straight wrestling match, as seen here Akira's got you. With that said it was a nice change of pace for ICW to have a straight match basically to kick things off and Alec Price held his own and was the hometown favorite here in Worcester.

Akira wins via pinfall
3/5

Chris Bradley v. Kristian Ross

This is the 4th match in this series.  I wasn't too into this because it moved very slow. These 2 both have the potential to be amazing wrestlers but right now there still missing something to me. Though I will say the end where Ross was tied up and took those head shots was pretty sick.

Chris Bradley wins via Referee stoppage
1.25/5

Hoodfoot v. Jimmy Lloyd

This match was like a tornado. A short violent burst. Sucks Kasey Kirk couldn't be there but Jimmy Lloyd is a very suitable replacement.  Both men bled like stuck pigs and I'm surprised the cage didn't break.

Hoodfoot wins via pinfall
3/5

Casanova Valentine v. Dr. Redacted

This was a fucking war! They brawled around the building for a bit. That spot where Redacted jumped off the cage with a garbage can on him through the doors. Both men bled buckets. Man Cass is great but Redacted is becoming one of my favorites quick. 

Casanova Valentine wins via pinfall
3.75/5

Danny Demanto v. Masha Slamovich

This match was cool and they did a lot of crazy spots like the body bag spot where Danny did the psycho driver.  But the crowd is dead tonight and it showed here.

Masha Slamovich wins via referee stoppage
2/5

John Wayne Murdoch v. Slade

The best part of watching wrestling is the ability to suspend disbelief.  Well every time Slade steps into a ring I can do that without issue. I honestly don't think Slade is a gimmick and dude is a criminal who wants to kill people in the ring. Sucks his match with JWM was short but that wound from the gusset plate looked nasty so I get it.

John Wayne Murdoch wins via pinfall
1.75/5

That son of a bitch Atticus Cogar skewered Mittens.  The fuck did Mittens ever do besides love wrestling?

Brandon Kirk defends the American Death Match Championship against Matt Tremont

Reoccurring complaint about this show is the crowd there tonight. I understand it's part of an all day event and this is the last show of the night but damn Worcester act like you wanna be there. These dudes busted there ass and Tremont looked like a horror movie after but crowd was dead and it took away from the match.

Brandon Kirk retains via submission
2.5/5
