No Man's Land: If It Bleeds...


 

Midwest Scum defend the RPW Tag Team Championship against Kristian Ross and Chris Bradley

I'm expecting a total beef fest With this match. A team as big as Midwest Scum should not be able to move around the ring like they do and it's amazing. The series of spears from Ross and Bradley was sick. This match was pretty good, Four big guys just throwing eachother around the ring.

Midwest Scum retain the RPW Tag Team Championship
2.25/5

Jess Moss v. Kelsey Raegan

This Kelsey Reagan is impressing me in the ring and something about her presence says star to me. Jess Moss is really good too and has a good connection with the crowd. Given how hyped these ladies were getting me on there wrestling abilities the match never really got going for me. Not long enough for my liking but would love to see them tear it up for more time.

Kelsey Reagan wins via pinfall
1.25/5

Scwartzy v. Jimmy Chondo Lyon v. I Am Provider

This is basically a comedy match. Schwartzy using coke during this match was pretty good.

Scwartzy wins via pinfall
1 25/5

Anakin Murphy v. Austin Luke v. Aaron Williams v. Deklan Grant

Very fast paced match. All the people involved in raising are really good wrestlers. Great match and this just speaks for itself. Watch if you wanna see the future of wrestling. The finish was wonky and I hope Austin Luke just botched the kick out but still great stuff.

Anakin Murphy wins via pinfall
3.75

MM3 v. Brandon Kirk

I am a fan of both men so I was looking forward to this one. MM3 has some of the best kicks in wrestling. Have not really seen a lot of Brandon Kirk in non death matches but this guy can go,I'm very impressed with his in ring skills. But in the end the PSYCHODRIVERFUCKYOURLIFE got him. Pretty good match.

Brandon Kirk wins via pinfall
2/5

Gary Jay v. Tommy Vendetta

Both of these men I've only seen in Death Matches but they are having a straight wrestling match and its really good. I'm really impressed by both men and would want to see them in straight matches more.

Tommy Vendetta wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Mouse v. Satu Jinn

Satu Jinn's back is bleeding buckets.  Always good to see Satu use the Kitana blade. Mouse doing the curb stomp through the pane of glass was sick. Great match and Glad Satu Jinn is back around.

Satu Jinn wins via pinfall
3/5

Kasey Kirk and Randi West v. Hoodfoot and Matt Tremont

This is a very chaotic match. To the point it's kind of overwhelming to watch. Randi West burning Matt Tremont with a joint looked painful. Hoodfoot and Tremont busting out the light tube fans was sick. This was a good match but given who was in it and the caliber of matches they have I expected more.

Kasey Kirk and Randy West win via pinfall

Clint Margera v. Neil Diamond Cutter

This match was very slow to start but once it got going it was great. The amazing thing here is NDC working with a broken arm at this level. The suplex through the pile of fuckery finish was insane.

Neil Diamond Cutter wins via pinfall
3/5

GCW:Worst Behavior

 


Big Vin v. Micheal Richard Blaze v. Manders v. Starboy Charlie v. Alec Price v. Blake Christian

Big Vin doing a huricanrana was sick. This us yet another chaotic GCW scramble.  The Blake Christian and Alec Price exchange was great,those 2 should have a match sometime.
This was a pretty good match to start off the show.

Blake Christian wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Wasted Youth v. East West Express

Not a lot to say about this match. Just 4 young guns doing what they do. Great stuff

East West Express win via pinfall
4.5/5

Benjamin Tull v. Joey Janela
Joey Janela Death Valley Driving Banjamin Tull onto that chair was insane. Benjamin Tull returning the favor was even crazier.  This was a definite slugfest and it wasn't bad.

Joey Janela wins via pinfall
2.25/5

Matt Cardona v. Sexxxy Eddy

This match Is very entertaining.  A lot of dick spots. Sexxy Eddy's thong broke so he had to wrestle the match buck ass naked. While not a great match I still had fun watching it.

Matt Cardona wins via pinfall
1.25/5

Cole Radrick v. Mance Warner

This is just a total brawl. I hope Cole Radrick's back is OK after Landing on that table the way he did with his back landing on the spot where the leg is. This was a really good match that just felt like a real fight. 

Mance Warner wins via pinfall
3/5

Casanova Productions v. Yokai and Tony Deppen

The story of this match was Tony Deppen and Yoya hating eachother. Im glad GCW kept this story going. There wasn't much else to this match. It really didn't do anything for me other than the story.

Casanova Productions win via pinfall
1.75/5

LuFisto v. Rina Yamashita

This is a match I'm very much looking forward to and these two are putting it all put there. LuFisto using the skewers was great. Loved LuFisto doing the Samoan Driver off the apron through the table. The amount of punishment Rina is taking in this match is insane. After all that Yamashita had the strength to do the Black Mountain Bomb to LuFisto and carry her around the ring. Good match with two legends in it. Love to see it.

Rina Yamashita wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Gringo Loco v. Jack Cartwheel

I'm expecting a good lucha match with this. I don't know how to explain the apron spot with Gringo and Cartwheel other than crazy and ouch. Jack Cartwheel can jump so high. Insanity in this just indescribable insanity. I loved it and the crowd loved it so you should love it too.
Gringo Loco wins via pinfall
3/5

TDT and Green Phantom v. Los Macizos and Jimmy Lloyd v. Bussy and Sawyer Wreck

This TDT team is great I really want GCW to bring them to America. This was a very blink and you'll miss something affair. I liked it and there was some cool stuff including some wild table spots.

Bussy and Sawyer Wreck win via pinfall
3/5

Masha Slamovich defends the GCW Championship against Speedball Mike Bailey

These two are really going hard with these strikes. I noticed that Speedball is being very heelish in this match and I don't know how I feel about this. Speedball used a knife to take the turnbuckle pad off the top rope then proceeded to unscrew the rope. Masha hit a nasty looking Snow Plow onto the apron. Speedball still continued to dismantle the ring. The way Masha ended the match was sick by basically hanging Mike Bailey with a choke through the exposed ring. Really fucking good match.

Masha Slamovich retains via submission
5/5

ICW NHB:Pit Fighter X16


 

In the beginning was a tribute to Sean Patrick O'Brian. Rest in Peace man I hope you're at ease wherever you are.

Akira v. Matt Tremont

The forehead of Matt Tremont fascinates me because it's just a hole of scar tissue. I don't think Akira jamming a gusset plate in there helps but it sure did look cool. Akira was in sicko mode tonight.  Akira wiped his blood on a door he eventually got put through and jammed a fork into his own head. The match was a great way to lighten the mood.

Matt Tremont wins via pinfall
2.5/5

Kasey Kirk v. Jeff Cannonball

I love Kasey Kirk's swag as a heel. She fits the bad bitch persona well.  Edibles being used during a match that's a first. I will say that Jeff Cannonball was very entertaining in this match and I would wanna see more of Cannonball like this. The fire thunder driver Jeff Cannonball gave to Kasey onto the cinder blocks was insane.  Finish with Brandon Kirk coming out was a little bit wonky but it was still a fun match.

Kasey Kirk wins via referee stoppage
2.5/5

Clint Margera v. Tommy Vendetta

Tommy Vendetta taking that bat with the poppers to the face was absolute insanity. Clint Margera giving the Deat Valley Driver to Vendetta through the chairs was great too. This match needed to be longer though but other than that really fun.

Tommy Vendetta wins via pinfall
2/5

Dr. Redacted v. Danny Demanto

Dr. Redacted started the match by sabuing Demanto open. Danny Demanto got Redacted back though with a popper bat to the head.  Redacted jumping off the bar onto Demanto sitting onto 2 chairs was very Mick Foley esque. So was Dr. Redacted jumping off of a ladder,wearing a trash can and attempting to do Said spot to demanto and missing. The way Redacted landed I'm glad he's ok. This match was a all out brawl I could not take my eyes off of really good stuff.

Danny Demanto wins via pinfall
3.25/5

Casanova Valentine v. Hoodfoot

Hoodfoot gave a sick looking cutter to Cass onto a chair. Casanova Valentine using a dildo with nails in it on Hoodfoot was entertaining. Now hoodfoot is using candle wax on Cass,am I watching wrestling or something else? Entertaining don't get me wrong but I wasn't expecting that.

Hoodfoot wins via pinfall
2.25/5

Brandon Kirk defends the American Death Match Championship against Neil Diamond Cutter

Wasn't much to this match.  Yeah the staple gun spot with the wad of bills. But this was more designed to build up Brandon Kirk as a heel.

Brandon Kirk retains via pinfall
2/5

GCW Eye For An Eye


 

Jimmy Lloyd v. Yoya v. 2 Hot Steve Scott v. Starboy Charlie v. Alec Price v. Cole Radrick 

This Yoya has really been stepping it up for me lately. Sick spot with Alex Alec Price doing a Boston destroyer off the turnbuckle onto Yoya then Cole Radrick doing a death valley driver after catching him into the corner. The match was ok,your typical GCW scramble.  

Cole Radrick wins via pinfall
1.75/5

Blake Christian v. Jack Cartwheel 

Jack Cartwheel needs to give up football and focus on wrestling because this man is a talent. I also love how hated Blake Christian is now,he is a great heel. Really good stuff. Jack Cartwheel brought his A game 
Blake Christian wins via pinfall 
3.25/5

Willie Mack v. Tony Deppen 

Willie Mack went away for a bit but ever since his re emergence he's been killing it again. Plus Tony Deppen being one of the most underrated talents. Of coarse it was a great match what would you expect?

Tony Deppen wins via pinfall
3.75/5

Matt Cardona v. Homicide

Matt Cardona is another amazing heel and his whole run in GCW shows how bad WWE misused him. Homicide is a true legend and it was cool to see him tease the fork. That tope Homicide does never ceases to amaze me and it always looks like it kills his opponents. Steph DeLander came out and distracted Homicide. Is Chelsea ok with this? 

Matt Cardona wins via pinfall
2/5

Los Macizos v. Sawyer Wreck and Rina Yamashita 

This will be interesting to see since in NYC death matches are illegal. Rina is still amazing even without all the weapons and such,very charismatic. I am really enjoying Yamashita and Sawyer and I want them to do more as a tag team. Los Macizos are a very formidable opponent for this team of Yamashita and Sawyer,great tag team and most likely the best tag team on GCW's roster. Great spot with Sawyer Wreck power bombing Macizos and Yamashita through 2 doors,Sawyer is very strong. This was a really good match but what do you expect given who was in it?

Sawyer Wreck and Rina Yamashita win via pinfall
3.25/5

The Mane Event v. Wasted Youth v. Bussy v. Second Gear Crew 

I'm into this match but in these 4 ways there are always non finishes so I don't wanna get my hopes up. Was not a non finish though and was a very good match. The Mane Event and Wasted Youth both shined well in this and Second Gear Crew is always great to see. 

Bussy wins via pinfall
2.75

Gringo Loco v. Bandido

I would love to watch this match but the venue keeps losing signal. Once the stream quit lagging the match was really good. That cut throat driver Gringo Loco gave Bandido off the top was phenomenal. This was good but the Damn signal getting lost took away from it for me.

Gringo Loco wins via pinfall 
2.75/5

Joey Janela v. Grim Reefer 

The springboard Russian leg sweep Grim Reefer does is insane. This Grim Reefer can do a flip out to the floor with a joint in his hand,that's amazing. There was a scary spot where Grim Reefer tried a springboard ddt and Joey Janela landed right on his head I'm glad Janela is ok. This was a pretty good match. 

Joey Janela wins via pinfall 
2.25/5

Time Splitters v. Jordan Oliver and Speedball Mike Bailey 

I'm looking forward to this match because with all 4 men you can't go wrong and I hsvnt seen Time Splitters wrestle together in years. This is a great 2000s indie style match. 

Time Splitters win via pinfall
3/5

Nick Gage defends the GCW Championship against Masha Slamovich 


This match was a shocker,I don't hate it but I totally was in shock about the finish. I don't even have words 

Masha Slamovich wins the GCW Championship via submission

Circle 6 Obey Your Master

 




Spyder Nate Webb v. Jake Crist


I haven't seen much or Jake Christ lately but ge has really improved in the ring. I love that Nate Webb is still doing dives like it's 2005. This was a good open. The crowd was into it and it never got boring.

Jake Crist wins via pinfall
2.25/5

Dale Patricks and Ace Perry v. Midwest Scum

There wasn't too much to this match. It had some cool brawling outside the ring but I didn't see anything that stood out.

Dale Patricks and Ace Perry win via pinfall
0.75/5

Christian Napier v. Kevin Giza v. Vincent Nothing

Shout out to Keven Giza for shoving that dude who threw a drink into the ring,more of this please. Vincent Nothing just came out randomly and was added to the match.  This Kevin Giza is a really good wrestler and can keep up with anyone. Giza's comeback against Vincent Nothing was phenomenal.  Kind of a weird match with Vincent Nothing just inserting himself for no reason and then putting an unconscious Christian Napier on top of Giza for the win.

Christian Napier wins via pinfall
1.75/5

Alice Crowley v. Sebastian LeSean

Alice Crowley seems to be a really good heel. This was more or less a squash match. 

Alice Crowley wins via pinfall
0.75/5

Casanova Valentine v. Otis Cogar in a Barroom Blitz match.

The match started with Otis Cogar stage diving into Casanova. That big of a guy doing that is impressive. Otis cutting Cassanova was pretty gnarly to see too. These guys just beat eachother down and endangered the fans and I loved it.

Casanova Valentine wins via submission
2.75/5

Remington Rhor v. Eric Ryan in a Tera Kada Torture Match

The way both men were suplexing eachother into the Tera Kada was a work of art. That spot with Remington Rhor suplexing Eric Ryan on a chair covered in Tera Kada looked like it hurt like a motherfucker. Eric Ryan made his comeback though and stomped out the big man. Brutal stuff I would check it out if I were you.

Eric Ryan wins via referee stoppage
2.75/5

Lucky 13 v. Bobby Beverly in a Fans Bring The Weapons Match

This was a insane brawl. The Bev was using the pizza cutter Ala Nick Gage. We had Lucky 13 getting suplexed on a Nintendo. I hope Lucky is good after Landing on his knee after that botched dive. These 2 just exchanging light tube shots on eachother was ridiculous,seriously few swing a tube harder than The Bev. Great stuff.

Bobby Beverly wins via pinfall
3.75/5
Atticus Cogar defends the Circle 6 Championship against Zachary Wentz

The First stage was a lumberjack match. There wasnt really too much to this. The first fall went to Zachary Wentz. The second fall was a Strap Match. Atticus Cogar won the second fall and there wasn't much to this either but at least both men were bleeding. Now we got the 3rd fall which is a Last Man Standing Match. We had Atticus Cogar dishing out a head shot with a Chair,CTE City there. That dive Zachary Wentz did off that wall that looked like Jenga blocks looked dangerous but I loved it. And the ending of this match is an image that will do down in history as one of the craziest spots ever.  44OH took the boards off of the ring and put a pane of glass in place of the boards. Then Zachary Wentz put Atticus Cogar through the pane of glass to win. Holy Shit indeed!

Zachary Wentz wins the Circle 6 Championship

3/5

ICW NHB 43


 

Brandon Kirk defends the American Death Match Championship against Akira


This match was more about the story. Akira got attacked by a mystery person at the beginning of the match and throughout Brandon Kirk was acting very heelish. Akira had a quick comeback but it was quickly stomped out and PSYCHODRIVERFUCKYOURLIFE was dished out. And it looks like the Kirks are full blown heels now.


Brandon Kirk retains via pinfall 

2/5


 Sean Campbell v. Hardway Heeter


The match was decent. This Sean Campbell kid has got something. After the showing here and last night I think he deserves a shot out east. This had a fun spot with those 2 drinking and chopping eachother and the gusset spot was cool but for real. More Sean Campbell. 


Hardway Heeter wins via pinfall

2/5


 MM3 v. Hoodfoot 


This was a great match. I love how MM3 can mix traditional wrestling with the Death Match stuff. Hoodfoot is a monster. Those suplexes were brutal and he has even upped his striking game. Really good stuff. 


Hoodfoot wins via pinfall

3.75/5


Tommy Vendetta v. Kasey Kirk

This was a fun match where it was again about the Kirk's being heels. Kasey. I liked her as a baby face but love her as a heel so I can't wait to see where this goes. 


Kasey Kirk wins via pinfall

2.75/5


Danny Wayne Murdoch v. Johnny Demanto 


This was a really fun match. Both men did spot on impressions of eachother then proceeded to beat eachothers brains in with light tubes and throw eachother through doors. Isn't that what life is about? 


Johnny Demanto wins via pinfall

2.75/5


Kristian Ross v. Chris Bradley 


I know I haven't been a big fan of these guys in the past but this was great. The crowd asked for a hoss fight and these wrestlers delivered. These men beat the living fuck out of eachother. Also shout out to Sean Patrick O'Brian for being used as a support to a door and ladder and crushing his skull. I hope he's ok. 


Chris Bradley wins via pinfall

4.5/5


 Matt Tremont v. Tank


These 2 hosses had a war! Naturally this was a slow moving match but given how long both men have been around and them both not being small this was to be expected. Just vicious head butts and tube shots. Them carving eachother up like a pot roast with forks. I love to see it. 


Matt Tremont wins via pinfall

3.5/5















Friday, March 17, 2023

GCW v. IWS Un Fn' Sanctioned

 



Fresh Air v. East West Express

So this will be an ongoing theme on this show but I'm not familiar with really any of the IWS talent but look forward to seeing what they have to offer. This match started off slow but once it going going it got going. Both teams are just mirror images of eachother.

East West Express win via pinfall
4/5

Sawyer Wreck v. LuFisto

We got a battle or the 2 bad chicks right here. Hell these 2 women can most likely kick most dudes asses. Really love that a legend in LuFisto and one of the best in the game in Sawyer Wreck are not holding back at all and going h.a.m. That burning hammer Sawyer Wreck took through the table was brutal and I'm glad she's ok. It was appropriate that was the finish.

LuFisto wins via pinfall
2/5

Los Macizos v. TDT

Los Macizos are insane and TDT seem like some ignorant ass brawlers so of course this was an all out brawl. Loved TDT throwing macizos around the ring like they were nothing. Los Macizos still busted out there high flying offense but one of those big motherfuckers from TDT moonsaukted 3 quarters of the way across the ring! The Fuck?! This was a really good match and I wanna see more of TDT. Side bar it's weird for me to see tables but I don't hate it.

TDT wins via pinfall
4.25/5

Matt Falco v. Manders in a Beer Bash Match

I'm not too into this Match. I'm not the biggest Manders fan and this is match was very slow. That keg falling onto Matt Falco's leg did not look fun I'm glad he's ok. The chokeslam Matt Falco gave Manders through the table to end the match was cool but nothing in this match stood out to me.

Matt Falco wins via pinfall
2/5



Gringo Loco v. Speedball Mike Bailey

I was looking forward to this match because both men's styles are so similar and this one delivered. Speedball is over in his home town of Montreal and rightfully so because he is one of the best pure talents in the world right now. That Rana into that Power Bomb onto the apron Gringo delivered to Speedball was insane. Mike Bailey also delivers some of the most brutal kicks I've ever seen. Great match through and through.

Speedball Mike Bailey wins via pinfall
3.75/5

Melanie Havok defends the IWS Women's Championship against Allie Katch

I'm not really into this match. It could be they just followed that terrific match before but the crowd is a bit quiet for this and the match is very slow paced. It ended up being decent but something seemed off that I can't quite put my finger on.

Melanie Havok retains via submission
2.25/5

Benjamin Tull Defends the IWS Championship against Tony Deppen

I like the story of this match. A cocky heel in Tony Deppen against a Behemoth in Benjamin Tull. Deppen can do some good stuff and is a really good wrestler but in the end a Death Valley Driver through the table took care of him.

Benjamin Tull retains via pinfall
2.25/5

Green Phantom,Sexxxy Eddy and PCP Mannyv. Rina Yamashita,Mance Warner and Nick Gage in a Fans Bring The Weapons Match

A whole Lotta legends in this one. Also glad to see Nick Gage was able to be on the show MDK can go worldwide now. What can I say bad about this match it's just a all out fucking brawl. You got Nick Gage stabbing up PCP Manny like it's 2005 and Rina doing Vasectomy stuff to Sexxxy Eddy with light tubes. Then Nick Gage attempted to murder PCP Manny by throwing him off a balcony through a stack of tables. And finally Manny get cut really bad on his ear at the end which I hope he's ok. Amazing stuff.

Nick Gage,Rina Yamashita and Mance Warner win via pinfall
5/5

ICW NHB Pit Fighter 15


 

This show is a mystery vortex so from here on out Is a spoiler.

Akira v. Hardway Heeter

This match was a lot of fun. Akira opening the show again and loved the spot with him saving the records he was supposed to be smashing over Hardway Heeter's head. Not super into Hardway Heeter but he had a great showing here and he bled buckets from those gusset plates.

Akira wins via referee stoppage
3.25/5

MM3 v. Sean Campbell

This was an interesting match.  MM3 is legit and I'm stoked to see him on another show. What a badass! Those kicks are so brutal. This Sean Campbell may actually be insane. I thought the bump he took through the door legit knocked him out. He jumped off the cage with a chair taped to his back and let MM3 hit him. He reminds me of a less athletic Sick Nick Mondo and I wanna see more.

MM3 wins via referee stoppage
2.75/5

Noah Hossman v. Hoodfoot

This match was slow paced for my liking.  Hoodfoot was great but I'm not sold on this Noah Hossman. They tried but like I said not my thing. 

Hoodfoot wins via pinfall
1.75/5

Lizzy Blair v. Danny Demanto

This was a good match. I honestly was ignorant to the fact that the Blair sisters wrestled,I just saw them as the ring crew for ICW but I was impressed and this is very inspirational and should teach people to keep grinding and dreams will come true. Both women took gussets and doors like Champs. How can I say anything bad here,please come back?

Danny Demanto wins via pinfall
2.5/5

Chris Bradley v. Tommy Vendetta

Very short match. Too short if you ask me. These dudes worked hard and the spot through the door of Legos was great but I wanted more.

Tommy Vendetta wins via pinfall
1.75/5

Kristian Ross v. Tank

This was decent but again way too short for my liking. It was a hoss fight and probably the nowt believable on the card but I wanted more for this match.

Tank wins via pinfall
1.5/5

Matt Tremont v. John Wayne Murdoch

Great fucking match.  What do you expect with the names involved in it?  Both men pulled out all the stops,John Wayne Murdoch came out in a furry costume with barbed wire on it and was a great heel the whole time. Good shit.

Matt Tremont wins via pinfall
4.75/5

GCW Ransom


 

Jimmy Lloyd v. Yoya v. Gabriel Skye v. Carlos Romo v. Alec Price v. Gringo Loco 


Another gcw scramble. All these men brought it. And if your in a opening match and can wake a hungover showboat crowd up you got talent. 


Alec Price wins via pinfall

3.75/5


 Shane Mercer v. Speedball Mike Bailey 


Great match. Shane Mercer was a replacement for an injured Drew Parker and he really made the most of this with sick power moves mixed with high flying. Speedball Mike Bailey may best one of the best in the world right now for match quality. 


Speedball Mike Bailey wins via pinfall

3.5/5


Los Macizos defend the GCW Tag Team Championship against Motor City Machine Guns


Interesting match. MCMG are legends and most teams owe what they have in their move set today to them but totally was not expecting them to win. Macizos are great and I'm left wanting to see where this goes.


Motor City Machine Guns win the GCW Tag Team Championship via pinfall

3/5


 John Wayne Murdoch v. Masha Slamovich 


This was starting to be a good match but the finish ruined it for me. Both people are really good and were doing some really violent stuff. Even Masha was jamming Bullets into JWM's head. But the finish was supposed to be Masha doing a driver through 2 chairs on there side with a pane or glass on top but the glass didn't break so JWM just landed on the sides of 2 chairs.  


Masha Slamovich wins via pinfall 

2/5


 Janai Kai, Billie Starkz and Sawyer Wreck v. Rina Yamashita, Maki Itoh and Venni


Loved this match. A few of these ladies are pigeon holed as death match wrestlers so I will say this. If you don't think death match wrestlers can work you're fucking stupid and just watch this match. These ladies all brought it and I'm here for it.

Rina Yamashita, Maki Itoh and Venni win via pinfall

3.75/5


Jordan Oliver defends the JCW Championship against Blake Christian 


While I'm digging Blake Christian being this kind of a heel not into non finishes


Jordan Oliver retains via disqualification 

1.75/5


Joey Janela defends the GCW Extreme Championship against Brandon Kirk 


This was a good match. Joey Janela was having way too much fun with Brandon Kirk in that shopping cart. But in all seriousness Brandon Kirk had a great showing here and I hope they keep bringing the Kirk's back in because I love the Kirk's.


Joey Janela retains via pinfall

3/5


Young Dumb N Broke v. Bang Bros v. Wasted Youth v. Second Gear Crew 


Was into this match and really into the fact that the Bang Bros were getting a shot outside of the Midwest however this was just to set up IWS attacking the GCW locker room. 


No Contest

2.75/5


Allie Katch v. Charles Mason in a Steel Cage Match 


This match exceeded my expectations. I'm not really a Charles Mason fan and to me Allie Katch is hit or miss. I will give credit where it's due. Storytelling here was second to none. This was a bloodbath and everything done played well into the feud which doesn't happen much in indie wrestling. 


Allie Katch wins via submission 

3/5

GCW Holy Smokes


 


Jimmy Lloyd v. Shane Mercer v. Carlos Romo v. Alec Price v. Grim Reefer v. Gringo Loco

This is one of the better GCW scramble matches I've seen in awhile. The stand out to me in this was Alec Price and he gets better every time I see him wrestle. Just crazy spot after crazy spot.

Gringo Loco wins via pinfall
3.75/5

Jordan Oliver defends the JCW Championship against Alex Coughlin

I don't mean to be an asshole and I get it it's personal preference but this match was boring. I know Jordan Oliver can do shit. I don't know this Alex Couglin but they just rolled on the mat for 12 minutes . Can I get a strike or something? It reminded me of UFC stuff I don't like.

Jordan Oliver retains via pinfall
2/5

Akira v. Blake Christian

This was a good match. It was weird seeing Akira wrestle not first but I get it different promotion. He did not disappoint and as I've said in my ICW posts this man can do it all.  Man was Blake Christian hated. Atlantic City were the ones to see it first and he got the appropriate reaction.

Blake Christian wins via pinfall
2.25/5

Joey Janela defends the GCW Extreme Championship against Venni

What a great match! I'll say this Joey Janela is one of the best going right now. As far as pumping out great match after great match there's not many on his level. And I don't know who this Venni is but I really hope I see more of her.  Great wrestling ability and can do pretty much anything it looks like. A small set back with that door but they got it figured out. 

Joey Janela retains via pinfall
5/5

Effy v. Slade

This was a good match. Wrestling is supposed to be about suspending disbelief and I can definitely do that for slade.  I for sure believe that Slade has killed a person before. Him laying on stuff on Effy was amazing.

Effy wins via pinfall
2.75/5
Los Macizos defend the GCW Tag Team Championship against The S.A.T

This was a decent match. Both had that high flying style but nothing really stood out to me.

Los Macizos retain via pinfall
2/5

Alex Zayne v. El Hijo De Vikingo

Really great match.  El Hijo De Vikingo does some stuff in the ring that defies what little I know about physics. That 630 through the doors will never not pop me. Glad to see Akex Zayne can still kill it. And this may be the best match or his I've seen thus far.

El Hijo De Vikingo wins via pinfall
5/5

Rina Yamashita defends the GCW Ultraviolent Championship against Kasey Kirk

Another great match. Kasey Kirk has been one of my favorites for awhile and stoked she is getting to show what she's got in GCW. And always a pleasure to see Yamashita this was sort of a dream match for me and boy did it deliver. Both women did all the violence spots you would want and seriously all I can say is it was everything I hoped it would be.

Rina Yamashita retains via pinfall
5/5

LuFisto v. Maki Itoh

This match was decent but had a hard time following the last match. Maki is really over so that helped a bit. Technically a good match but I'm just for the main.

Maki Itoh wins via pinfall
2/5

John Wayne Murdoch v. Drew Parker

This is bitter sweet. Drew Parker said that this is going to be his last death match ever. Just wanted to say before it starts I've only been seeing Drew Parker for a year now and every time he's killed it. I support his decision and good luck in whatever this man chooses to do. And this was a good match to go out on. John Wayne Murdoch is one of the best death match wrestlers in the game. And I don't know much on why Drew is stepping away from death match but thank you Drew and God speed.

John Wayne Murdoch wins via submission

Wasted Youth v. 2 Hot Steve Scott and Gabriel Skye 


This was a good match to kick off the show. It was a little sloppy in spots but by the end both teams got it together. Wasted Youth get better every time I see them out and I only expect them to keep moving in that direction. Havnt seen Steve Scott in a bit he may have had an injury I don't know. And Gabriel Skye was the main one being sloppy in this match but by the end he got it together. 


Wasted Youth wins via pinfall

4/5


 Carlos Romo v. Yoya


This was a good match. I don't know much about this Carlos Romo but this guy can go. Would fit in with PWG in 2015 and I see his name on more and more shows so let's see what he can do. Yoya is very underrated and he looked great in this match. 


Yoya wins via pinfall

2.75/5


 The Mane Event v. Young Dumb N Broke


I liked this match. I havnt seen much of the Mane Event but they impressed me and can do some really cool stuff. This seemed like a match for the Mane Event to showcase and this delivered on that.


The Mane Event wins via pinfall

3.5/5


 The Mecca v. Griffin Mccoy 


This was a decent match. I don't know who this Mecca thinks he is but he's an asshole. Griffin McCoy can do some stuff but I'm not too into the Mecca in ring ability. 


Griffin Mccoy wins via pinfall

2.5/5


 Joshua Bishop v. Big Vin


This was a cool and quick hoss fight. What more can I say than 2 behemoths best the shit out of eachother?


Joshua Bishop wins via pinfall

2/5


 Alec Price defends the JCW Battle Bowl Ring against CPA

This was more of a comedy match. Both are fun to watch but a athlete the caliber of Alec Price should be tearing it up in classics. Both men are good at what they do but the styles just didn't mesh well.


Alec Price wins via pinfall

2/5


 Sawyer Wreck v. Bam Sullivan 


I honestly expected more from this match. I like Bam Sullivan and I'm a huge Sawyer Wreck fan but for whatever reason this match went slow and didn't mesh well. I can't put my finger on why it was just off.


Sawyer Wreck wins via pinfall

2.5/5


Billie Starkz v. Janai Kai in a 2 out of 3 falls Match


This was a good match. Great to see Billie Starks tearing it up and glad she's been getting opportunities with AEW lately. Janai Kai was brutal with those kicks tonight. You can tell She's been hitting those kicking bags. 


Billie Starkz wins 2 falls to 1

2.75/5
