No Peace Underground:of Omen and Doom


 

Tye Hyll v. Dillon McQueen

I don't feel this is fair to review due to the stream not working.

N/A

Adam Priest v. Simon Gotch

This looked like a real fight. Adam Priest is an amazing heel from what I've seen of him in ICW and GCW but he can actually do a hard hitting style between the ropes too. I don't think this man is long for the indies. Simon Gotch got strapped with a more or less comedy gimmick in WWE but not that the gimmick is stripped away this dude is a badass. This reminded me of a UFC fight so it was cool.

Simon Gotch wins via submission
2.25/5

Devlin Macab v. Kelsey Reagan

I'm sure I'm butchering Devlin's name and I apologize but she is a replacement for su Yung. This mystery girl was great though and I'm sure I'm gonna find more out about her soon. Love the way Kelsey Reagan carries herself and she is a boss bitch and a witch all in one. And that sunset flip through the table? Goddamn!

Kelsey Reagan wins via pinfall
3/5

Mad Man Pondo v. Killbilly v. Ozzy Killmeister

This match was just pure Mayhem. There's a reason Mad Man Pondo is a legend. He's been doing this for about 30 years and still kicking ass. Driving people through glass and using a certified birth control method with that sledgehammer cinder block on Killmeister.

Mad Man Pondo wins via pinfall
2.75/5

The Hallowed v. Casanova Valentine and Kit Osbourne for the No Peace Underground Tag Team Championship

This wasn't what I expected from this match given Otis Cogar and Casanova Valentine were involved. I wanted more bloodshed and fuckery from these 2. Match was a let down for me.

The Hallowed win the No Peace Underground Tag Team Championship
1.75/5

AJ Gray v. Dr. Redacted

This was fucking awesome! Dr. Redacted is easily one of my favorites right now and he tears it up every time. Just ignorant Mick Foley esque spots and just bleeds perfumery. AJ Gray is great and sucks GCW doesn't really use him too much anymore. These 2 just beat the fuck out of eachother, threw eachother threw anything they possibly could and bled everywhere.  Check this out!

AJ Gray wins via pinfall
4.25/5

Cole Radrick v. Alex Xcean

I loved this match. Can we talk about how much of a badass Cole Radrick is? Dude got a nasty looking cut on his hand,just taped it up with duct tape and still proceeded to jump through a pane of glass. Are you fucking kidding me? Alex Xcean I don't know much about be he came across as a cocky heel but looks like he has real potential.

Alex Xcean wins via pinfall
3.25/5

Atticus Cogar defends the No Peace Underground Championship against Lyndsay Snow

For a last minute match this was pretty good. Atticus is great when he wants to be in the ring and he's probably in the top 3 heels in the death match world right now. Lyndsay Snow I'm definitely intrigued by. She has a great look and I want to see more of her.

Atticus Cogar retains via pinfall
2.5/5



Parrow v. Dillon McQueen
This match was gaining momentum but had a no finish. Parrow was destroying Dillon McQueen,then McQueen hooked him and got some submission offense going and as it got going Krule came out,destroyed Parrow and threw a fireball in his face.  Parrow took that shit with no hands though.

No Contest
0.75/5

ICW x Rise Underground


 

Akira v. Johnny Storm

It was nice to see Akira in a straight up wrestling match and I know Johnny Storm is a legend in the UK,however the match was paced slow for my liking and kinda got boring.

Akira wins via submission
1.75/5

Michael Caden and John Wayne Murdoch v. Iceman v. Jack Harrop

This match was very short but my guess is it had something to do with how bad Michael Caden's hand was bleeding. Vicious match but again,too short.

John Wayne Murdoch and Michael Caden win via pinfall
1.5/5
After the match Iceman and Jack Harrop sang American Pie so that was cool.

Kasey Kirk v. Big Fn Joe

I liked this match.  Kasey had her usual boss bitch swag going. Big Fn Joe was a monster in this match,More so than usual. That cut he got on his face from a tube looked nasty. The only spot that made me uncomfortable was the hanger to the female parts of Kasey,some people may be into it but I am not one of them and very uncomfortable to watch.

Big Fn Joe wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Eric Ryan v. Clint Margera

So this was a Taipei Death Match. I'm not a fan of this stipulation because these Taipei Death Matches are boring usually. Not really into dudes just punching eachother.  That said they had a cool spot with the TKO on the flower pot but I still didn't like it.

Eric Ryan wins via submission
1.5/5

Leonardo Darwin v. Danny Demanto

This match was decent. Leonardo Darwin is definitely a good heel and him super kicking Mittens got alot of heat. Danny Demanto was doing alot or comedy in this match but got this guy good with a tube to the head that scraped Darwin up pretty good on the side of the head. 

Danny Demanto wins via pinfall
2.5/5

Casanova Valentine v. Saxon Huxley

Wasn't much to this match. It wasn't a squash but the match was just Casanova Valentine beating Saxon Huxley around the building,a punch trading spot then Casanova Valentine got pinned.

Saxon Huxley wins via pinfall
0.5/5

Brandon Kirk defends the American Death Match Championship against Lou Nixon

This was pretty good. I didn't know Lou Nixon was that good of a heel. Him breaking the sword of light tubes and pissing the crowd off was great. Brandon Kirk was great per usual and that spot where he put Lou Nixon through that table with tubes was great.

Brandon Kirk retains via pinfall
2.75/5

ICW NHB 42

 




Akira v. Lou Nixon

I really enjoyed this match. Akira and Lou Nixon both had very similar styles to the point it was like watching wrestling in a mirror. Not too heavy on the death match but some brutal strikes and kicks.

Akira wins via submission
3/5

Danny Darko v. BA Rose

Incredible match. This Danny Darko really impressed me on this tour. He can bleed buckets and do just about anything in the ring.  Plus he's no small dude either,very Mike Awesome esque. BA Rose also impressed. Dude looks like Casanova Valentine's drunk uncle and has no problem taking power tools to the face.
Danny Darko wins via pinfall
3.75/5

Kasey Kirk v. Eric Ryan

This was a good match.  I think whatever Kasey Kirk was losing she is starting to get back and she was back to her bad self in this match. Eric Ryan was good in this match I just didn't like how rushed the finish was.

Eric Ryan wins via referee stoppage
2.5/5

Micheal Caden v. Casanova Valentine

This was a brutal hoss fight. Like the first fight both of these guys are almost mirror images of eachother and they pulled out all the stops with barbed wire,tubes and anything else that wasn't nailed down.

Casanova Valentine wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Danny Demanto v. Session Moth Martina

This match stopped just as it was getting good. Way too short. Session Moth Martina carried over her momentum from the night before with Kasey and Danny Demanto was being a great shit heel but again way too short.

Session Moth Martina wins via pinfall
1.75/5

John Wayne Murdoch v. Big Fn Joe

Great match. I totally missed Big Fn Joe getting injured on the previous night but he gutted it out and had some brutal spots.  That landing on the razor wire while only wearing tighty whities and a button down? Come on now. John Wayne Murdoch what else can I say? He's at the top caliber of death match wrestlers for a reason.

Big Fn Joe wins via pinfall
3/5

Brandon Kirk defends the Danny Havoc Death Match Championship and the American Death Match Championship against Clint Margera

This was a great match. I like he Brandon Kirk flipped the switch from biggest heel the night before to biggest baby face on this nights show. Dude is truly amazing and proving he is worthy of his American Death Match Championship run. Clint showed great fire in this match and kept up with Brandon Kirk very well but no one is kicking out of 2 PSYCHODRIVERFUCKYOURLIFE.

Brandon Kirk retains via pinfall
3.5/5

ICW NHB 41


 


Akira v. Clint Margera

This was a pretty good match.  Akira opening the show again and I know I keep saying this but he is the master of utilizing those chains. Always good to see Clint Margera and I got worried once the top chain broke because he was getting a bit sloppy but he brought it back.

Akira wins via pinfall
3/5

Kasey Kirk v. Session Moth Martina

This match was awesome. Kasey is just a bad bitch and that's all that needs to be said. I love the way she carries herself. I did not Know Session Moth Martina did death matches but I learn something new every day. She held her own to the point I wanna see her do more death matches.
Session Moth Martina wins via pinfall
3.5/5

Danny Demanto v. Iceman

This was a decent match. It was a pretty violent hoss fight. I had to miss the first half of this match to take care of some business but the chair shot iceman gave to Danny Demanto,shesh. And that Iceman can bleed buckets.

Danny Demanto wins when Iceman's son threw in the towel.
2.25/5

Danny Darko v. Eric Ryan

I had alot of fun watching this match. I don't know this Danny Darko but I already love him. Him coming out to Tubthumper and how much he bleeds. Eric Ryan dominated this match and made it super violent.

Eric Ryan wins via referee stoppage
3.25/5

Casanova Valentine v. Big Fn Joe

This was another really fun match. Casanova Valentine is honestly the king of using the bar for death matches that should be his spot and his spot alone. Big Fn Joe changing up the gear from white to black,not sure how I feel about that.

Big Fn Joe wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Lou Nixon v. John Wayne Murdoch

This was a nice match.  I see the hype on this Lou Nixon but in all honesty I wanted more out of him and wanted to see what he can do. John Wayne Murdoch is a legend what can I say?

John Wayne Murdoch wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Brandon Kirk defends the American Death Match Championship against BA Rose


This was another fun match. Brandon Kirk talking shit on The UK in the beginning was hallarious and that PSYCHODRIVERFUCKYOURLIFE is an amazing finisher. This was my first time seeing BA Rose but after this I wanna see more. He really layed his stuff in. The only thing I didn't like was Rose selling a weedwacker that wasn't even on.

Brandon Kirk retains via pinfall
3.25/5

GCW Middle of the Night


 

Eli Everfly v. Jimmy Lloyd v. Starboy Charlie v. Alec Price v. Cole Radrick v. Tony Deppen

This was your typical gcw scramble. Everyone looked good its just that nothing really stood out to me that much. I like these matches but they get hard to review sometimes.

Tony Deppen wins via pinfall

3/5

Nick Wayne v. Matt Cardona

This was a really good match. Cardona's promo making fun of Wayne's age at the beginning of the match was hallarious. The match itself accomplished its mission of letting Nick Wayne shine and the stuff at the end with Nick Wayne's partner Jordan Oliver at the end is interesting. 

Nick Wayne wins via pinfall
3/5

Jack Cartwheel, Mago and Arez v. Gringo Loco and Los Vipers

Another epic lucha trios presented by GCW. If you blink you will miss something crazy. Was worried about how Jack Cartwheel would fit in here but he fit like a glove. Just dives,dives,dives and all kinds of good stuff.

Gringo Loco and Los Vipers win via pinfall
3.5/5

Jordan Oliver defends the JCW Championship against Mance Warner

This match was so good! For a relatively straight up wrestling match Mance Warner really held his own and still found a way to bleed. Jordan Oliver is really coming into his own and if this is the pace he's going with the JCW championship I hope he hangs onto it got a very long time.

Jordan Oliver retains via pinfall
3.75/5

Allie Katch v. Mason Ryan

For me not being into this feud at all this match wasn't bad. Allie Katch bled in this match and looked the best I've seen her look in awhile. Charles Mason is the main reason I'm not into this feud and I'm still not sold on him,however he looked good in this match.

Charles Mason wins via pinfall
2/5

Los Macizos defend the GCW Tag Team Championship against The Bollywood Boys
This was a decent match. Los Macizos never cease to amaze me and these dudes both bled buckets. Only time I've seen the Bollywood Boys was in WWE where they didn't do too much for me there and they didn't do too much for me either. To me they were just there which is not how you stand out.

Los Macizos retain via pinfall
2.75/5

Lio Rush v. Kommander

Very fun,very fast paced match.  Lio Rush,when he's motivated he does some amazing stuff and it seemed like he was motivated in this match. Kommander is incredible. How he does this rope walking stuff and never falls is unheard of.

Lio Rush wins via pinfall
3/5

Willie Mack v. Blake Christian

This match slapped! Willie Mack I've been watching since 2014 in PWG. It seems like once he signed and released from WWE he lost his touch and it hasn't been til lately where he's been getting back into his groove. This match has by far been his best performance since leaving PWG. Blake Christian is amazing in ring and again I'm loving his heel persona.

Blake Christian wins via pinfall
3.75/5

Nick Gage defends the GCW Championship against Speedball Mike Bailey

This was a so so match. I hate speaking Ill of the king but if it's not a death match he can't do it. He tried and Speedball tried but it just didn't mesh too good.

Nick Gage retains via pinfall
2.25/5

GCW Jimmy Lloyd's All Grown Up


 

 East West Express v. Arez and Kommander

Fairly decent match. Some cool lucha stuff from Arez and Kommander and East West were good at keeping up with them. Lack of crowd heat though.

East West Express wins via pinfall
2.5/5

Dante Leon v. Cole Radrick

This was a really good match. I wish we could see more of Dante Leon in the states but glad he's killing it in Noah.  And Raddy Daddy is amazing. This match mixed good wrestling with some comedy pretty well so check it out.

Cole Radrick wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Rob Shit v. Kit Osbourne in a intoxication match

This match was alot of fun. But on thing was Kit. I'm glad he's back and I'm glad he's getting a chance to shine again in GCW and I hope they keep bringing him back,however this man does not know how to shotgun a beer. Heel heat my ass that was a botch. Just fun stuff though.

Rob Shit wins via pinfall
2.25/5

Matthew Justice v. Ciclope in a coffin match

This was a really fun match as well,some of these coffin spots.. good lord. Now I know a coffin can break. And justice with these headshots are brutal.

Ciclope wins
2.75/5

Darren Corbin v. Jai Vidal

Was just a squash.

Jail Vidal wins via submission
0.25/5

Miedo Extremo v. Speedball Mike Bailey

Really good match.  For Macizos I'm honestly more of a Ciclope guy but Miedo holds his own. And Speedball is one of the best wrestlers in the world right now so you put those 2 together what do you expect?

Speedball Mike Bailey wins via pinfall
3/5

Santana Jackson v. Dark Sheik

Really fun lighthearted match. Santana Jackson does the Micheal Jackson gimmick perfect and Sheik did a good Britney impression too.

Dark Sheik wins via pinfall
1/5


Jimmy Lloyd v. Effy in a no rope barbed wire match


Very short very brutal match but I'm sure both men would not have it any other way.  Happy birthday to Mr. Jimmy Lloyd

Jimmy Lloyd wins via pinfall
2/5

GCW Jersey J-Cup

 



Alex Shelley v. Jordan Oliver in a round 1 match.  


Really good technical style match. What can I say? There's a reason Shelley is a legend and Oliver is the man.  


Jordan Oliver advances via pinfall

3.75/5 


Marcus Mathers v. Yoya v. Dante Leon v. Dylan McKay v. Cole Radrick v. Grim Reeferin a first round scramble 


This scramble hit different for some reason. It may be that all these guys are already good but since they're young this match meant more to them so they cranked it up? Good scramble never the less and full of all the scary high spots you would wanna see. 


Cole Radrick advances via pinfall

4.25/5 


Alec Price v. Blake Christian in a First Round Match 


Great match and I'm loving Christian as a heel. The match started off a little slow and sloppy but once it got going it got going. 


Blake Christian advances via pinfall

3/5 


Starboy Charlie v. Joey Janela in a First Round Match 


Fun little match. Joey Janela has been one of my favorites for awhile and he's proven time and time again he can do it all in that ring. And tonight he shined the hell out of Starboy. 


Joey Janela advances via pinfall

2.75/5 


Lio Rush v. Tony Deppen in a First Round Match 


This match flowed a little weird to me. Deppen was his assholish self but it felt like Rush was holding back a bit. He really didn't get going until the end of the match and kind of took away from it to me. 


Lio Rush advances via pinfall

2.5/5 


Charles Mason v. Billie Starkz in a First Round Match 


I don't need to keep rehashing this but not a fan of Charles Mason so wasn't into this match.  Billie had good fire. 


Charles Mason advances via submission 

1/5 


Kommander v. Arez in a First Round Match 


This match. Blink and you'll miss something crazy. Seriously how is kommander so good? 


Kommander advasnces via pinfall 

2.75/5 


Speedball Mike Bailey v. Jonathan Gresham in a First Round Match 


This was really fucking good. Both men are 2 of the best wrestlers on the indies right now and they put on a classic. Gresham worked over the leg the whole match and Bailey sold great and Speedball got in all his signature strikes.  Do yourself a favor and check this match out. 


Speedball Mike Bailey advances via pinfall

4.75/5 


Speedball Mike Bailey v. Kommander in a Second Round Match 


This match was good but not really what I wanted out of it. These guys coulda had a match of the year candidate. I get it it's a tournament and there's still more matches to come.  For what it was it was decent but could have been better. 


Speedball Mike Bailey advances via pinfall

2.5/5 


Charles Mason v. Jordan Oliver in a Second Round Match 


I honestly thought Oliver was gonna be eliminated last round and didn't think he was gonna beat Mason so as of right now Jordan Oliver is my bracket buster. Jordan Oliver had a good match with Charles Mason too so that's something. 


Jordan Oliver advances via pinfall

2/5 


Lio Rush v. Joey Janela in a Second Round Match 


This was a really good match. What Lio was missing in the last match he brought here and Janela is always great. 


Joey Janela advances via pinfall 

2.75/5 


Cole Radrick v. Blake Christian in a Second Round Match 


This was a pretty fun match that centered around old school heat on Blake Christian.  Blake kept using an eye poke on ol Raddy Daddy so that was the story of the match.

Blake Christian advanced via pinfall 

2.75/5 


Jordan Oliver v. Joey Janela in a Third Round Match 


What a great match. I'll be honest for someone who I thought would be out in the first round Jordan Oliver is having a hell or a tournament. In this match he beat the person who I thought was gonna take it all in Joey Janela.  I usually hate restarts and I didn't mind this one. And the way Janela sold his foot being injured was great. 


Jordan Oliver advances via pinfall 

5/5 


Speedball Mike Bailey v. Blake Christian 


Fairly decent match. But the story happened after.  Blake Christian you no good son of a bitch! How dare you put your hands on scarlet! You'll get yours! 


Speedball Mike Bailey advances via pinfall 

2.25/5 


Marcus Mathers and Jimmy Lloyd v. Alec Price and Dante Leon v. Billie Starkz and Starboy Charlie v. S.A.T 


This was some nice tag team chaos and I wanna see Alec Price and Dante Leon team more. 


S.A.T win via pinfall

2.75/5 


Speedball Mike Bailey v. Jordan Oliver in the finals for the JCW Championship 


What a way to end this phenomenal tournament.  It's great that my bracket buster in Jordan Oliver made it and won the finals making me look dumb. That fucking shooting star into the Clout Cutter was a work of art. 


Jordan Oliver wins the J-Cup and JCW Championship via pinfall

4/5

RPW This Time It's War


 


Brutus Atwell v. Riley Rose 


Wasn't really much to this match. It was a basic big guy,little guy match we've all seen a thousand times. 


Riley Rose wins via pinfall

1/5 


Justin Kyle defends the RPW Championship against Karam 


This was just an ignorant hoss fight. Chairs were thrown which in that venue looked hard to get out of the way of. And just beef on beef violence. 


Justin Kyle retains via pinfall

2/5 


Apollo Q. Starr v. Hoodfoot 


Never seen hoodfoot in a non death match but it wasn't bad. This really reminded me of a ROH match circa 2004. Short but hard hitting. My main complaint is it wasn't long enough 


Hoodfoot wins via pinfall

1.75/5



TJ Meyer v. Schwartzy 


This was a really fun match. With Scwartzy I love the character and he's a really good wrestler it seems like. ICW,GCW,XPW book Schwartzy. TJ Meyer seemed good too. Many broken glass to be had,tacks blood what more could you ask for? 


Schwartzy wins via submission 

3/5 


Dr. Redacted v. MM3 


Amazing match. Yes this got ignorant and had all the blood,guts,gore and glass we all know and love about death match wrestling but both these men can go in the ring. MM3 doing alot of cruiserweight style stuff not on glass made me regret even more on sleeping on him for so long and those Nigel esque uppercuts from redacted! Redacted was on another level with his heel antics insulting the Monroe family which got real heat. Enough talk just fucking watch this. 


Dr. Redacted wins via pinfall

5/5 


Hardway Heater v. Remington Rhor 


This one didn't really do it for me. It had to follow the amazing match before it plus I'm not too big into Hardway Heater. I like that he comes out to Bloodstains but in the ring not a fan. Him and Remington Tried but it just didn't do it for me. 


Remington Rhor wins via pinfall

1.75/5 


Randi West defends the Rust Belt Championship against Satu Jinn 


What a very bloody fight. This is what it would look like if Randi and Satu had a domestic situation somewhere and I loved it. Both combatants were covered in blood what more could you ask for? 


Randi West retained via submission 

3/5 


Tommy Vendetta v. Toshiyuki Sakuda 


This was a really fun match. And the fact these guys were not Bleeding more is remarkable.  I don't know where had more broken glass that ring or the back alley in that Detroit building. And the fact that Sakuda did the dive with that barbed wire chair and tube concoction not once but twice was insane. 


Toshiyuki Sakuda wins via pinfall

3.5/5 


Midwest Scum defend the RPW Tag Team Championship against The Cogars 


This was an absolute banger.  Just a all put brawl all over the arena.  By far the best Atticus match I've seen in awhile. When Atticus is motivated there's few better and brother, he was motivated tonight. That spot where Atticus got thrown through the tube cabin,jesus fuck. How did Atticus not die there? 


Midwest Scum retain via pinfall

4.5/5










Monday, February 6, 2023

GCW v. New South


 


Jordan Oliver v. Tyler Franks

It took awhile to get into this match. The match started off very slow going but once it kicked into gear got really good. Jordan Oliver is a professional and I don't know this Tyler Franks but the kid can go.

Jordan Oliver wins via pinfall
3.25/5

Tony Deppen v. Cabana Man Dan

It was supposed to be Deppen against Dan Williams but Williams had a broken leg so we got this. The night before Cabana Man Dan didn't really impress me but tonight he wasn't bad in this match. Tony Deppen was being a shit heel the whole match and the story was Deppen attacking Brandon Williams in the end that backfired though.
Cabana Man Dan wins via pinfall
2.5/5

Donnie Primetime v. Sawyer Wreck

Loved this match. Don't know much about Donnie Primetime but he was a great heel and really obnoxious.  Sawyer has been on fire lately.  I loved how they made this a death match with no blood too.

Sawyer Wreck wins via pinfall
3.75/5

Kenzie Paige defends the New South Championship against Billie Starkz

This was a decent match. Billie is another one of these up and comers who are underage but can already go at a high caliber and this was my first time seeing Kenzie Paige. Sucks the match stopped and got restarted and it took away from it.

Kenzie Paige retains via pinfall
2.5/5

Team New South v. Team GCW in a 12 person tag



Way too much going on for me. Fun match but way too much going on.

Team New South wins via pinfall
2/5

Bussy v. The Carnies

Wasn't into this at all. Very southern wrasslin and I got bored with it quick.

Bussy wins via pinfall
1/5

Hunter Drake v. Blake Christian

This match was decent. Didn't know much about hunter Drake before this bit I will keep an eye out for more or his stuff. Blake Christian is still evolving in his heel role and it's great.

Blake Christian wins via pinfall
2.5/5

Los Macizos v. Infared

This was a very good match. I knew nothing of Infared going into this but these guys have a lot of talent. They had a really cool spot where Macizos did there doomsday device through a door stack flawless to one of Infared with very little room to work with. And a lot of cool near fall spots towards the end. Wouldn't recommend this show necessarily but would recommend this match.

Los Macizos win via pinfall
3.75/5










GCW: Dream On 2025

  Lucky 13 came out and insulted the crowd, then Hacksaw Jim Duggan came out and insulted Lucky 13. Ray Jaz came out and attacked Lucky 13. ...
