GCW:Tournament of Survival 8

 

Very nice open to the show with Nick Gage greeting everyone as only the king does and trading out blows with the man,the myth the legend John Zandig,thats the death match answer to the Wrestlemania 30 open.

Ciclope v. Green Phantom v. Miedo Extremo

We kicked the show off with in all honesty the tournament match I was least looking forward to. Not because of whose in it but because of how loaded this tournament is. This match was a bit sloppy at times but had some really cool stuff like ciclope doing a senton through glass then a frog splash through glass. I thoroughly enjoyed it though.

Tomoya Hirota v. Toru Suiguira v. Joey Janela

I am pumped after this match. These guys beat the ever living fuck out of eachother. Forget about all the fuckery these guys all dud stiff ass strikes. We had chair shots Ala Mike Awesome and Masato Tanaka.  The double stomp Joey Janela did to Hirota through the tube cabin and doors was insane. Holy shit what a good match.

Toru Suiguira advances via pinfall

El Desperado v. John Wayne Murdoch v. Matt Tremont

This was a decent match. A little slow for my liking though.  The spot with John Wayne Murdoch doing a destroyer through a glass bridge was cool. And the barbed wire net spot Matt Tremont took was cool.

John Wayne Murdoch advances
2.5/5

Kasey Kirk v. Sawyer Wreck v. Rina Yamashita

My expectations were very high for this match. In March Kasey Kirk and Rina Yamashita was a match of the year candidate and I love me some Sawyer Wreck.  But I think this match was good but coulda been better.  It was kinda slow and I wanted more violence than just tube shots. The spot where Sawyer threw Kasey and Rina through the glass outside was cool but maybe my expectations were too high.

Rina Yamashita advances via pinfall
2.75/5

Alec Price v. Gringo Loco v. Jack Cartwheel v. Blake Christian

Usually I'm bored with GCW scrambles but this was very good. It was the Blake Christian being an asshole show featuring 3 great athletes.

3.75/5

John Wayne Murdoch v. Ciclope

This was pretty brutal. Really good stuff from two great guys. No one swings a tube harder than John Wayne Murdoch and Ciclope should get a purple heart for some of the bumps he's taking through panes of glass tonight.

John Wayne Murdoch advances via submission
2.75/5

Toru Suiguira v. Rina Yamashita

This was amazing. Suiguira hits so hard and now I get what all the hype is on him now. GCW,if you read this keep booking this guy. Rina showed everyone why she is the death match amazon.  That shot to the nuts with tubes over Suiguiras nether regions and her busting the chair on him was a certified method of birth control. Great stuff and this got me pumped for the finals

Rina Yamashita advances via pinfall
4/5

John Wayne Murdoch v. Rina Yamashita

This was a really good way to end the tournament. John Wayne Murdoch put alot of heat on Rina by just butchering her with light tubes but her come backs were great. The spot where she did the splash off the scaffold onto Murdoch I thought was it. In the end the right person won and I can't wait for tomorrow.
