Bang Bros v. Cole Radrick and Alec Price
This was a good way to start the show. This was my first time seeing Alec Price live and in living color and he's got good charisma. Cole Radrick being a heel and engaging with the crowd that way was great and I am really happy that local standouts are getting a chance in a promotion like gcw.

Arez v. Jack Cartwheel
I saw Arez live but he is really good to live as well. Another thing I take for granted on TV is how high Jack Carthweel can jump. This was a great match, very lucha-influenced and very fun.
Jack Cartwheel wins via pinfall
3/5
Robert Anthony v. Lufisto
I didn't hear the commentary so I'm not sure what happened to Steph DeLander but Robert Anthony was good. Replacement and his disparaging LuFisto and the crowd before the match were very entertaining. Im loving the resurgence of LuFisto too. She killed it in the Death Matches in ICW last weekend and she killed it in a straight-up match this night in gcw.
LuFisto wins via pinfall
2.5/5
Jordan Oliver defends the JCW Championship against Komander
This match was so good. This was a clash of styles between the Technician in Jordan Oliver and the high flyer in Komander but these guys made this gel well. Jordan Oliver has been improving in his technical skills as I've documented and now his striking game has stepped up. Komander got his signature rope walking spots which was a treat to see live.
Jordan Oliver retains via pinfall
3.5/5
Los Macizos and Rina Yamashita v. The Rejects and Manders
The whole match was an all-out brawl throughout the arena and I loved it. There is no deathmatch at Thalia Hall but we still got hard-ass chair shots and plenty of doors.
Los Macizos and Rina Yamashita win via pinfall
3/5
Hunter Drake v. Teri Yaki v. Bobby Flaco v. Kinzie Page v. Starboy Charlie v. Jimmy Lloyd
Here we are with another GCW scramble but they got to showcase a lot of the southern talent and I got to see balcony dives so I'm ok with it.
Starboy Charlie wins via pinfall
3/5
Bussy v. Sawyer Wreck and Joey Janela
This was a pretty fun match but this ended up being hindered by the finish. It was supposed to be Joey Janela getting speared through a door by Allie Katch but the door didn't break and Sawyer was supposed to Chokeslam Effy through a door but, I don't know if someone slipped or there was a timing issue but they came short of the door. Anyways fun match minus the finish
Sawyer and Joey via pinfall

El Hijo De Vikingo v. Metalik
We had a sick Lucha Libre match until Blake Christian, that no good son of a bitch fucked it up and attacked both men!
No Contest
4.5/5
Blake Christian defends the GCW Championship against Gringo Loco
The hometown crowd was really into Gringo Loco and Blake Christian is such a shit heel it was a very easy story to follow. The hope spots got everyone to jump up and the false finish where Gringo got the pin but Blake had his foot on the rope and had the crowd get out of their seats. In the end, Blake Christian got the win.
