DMDU:D.R.E.A.M 2023


 


My apologies to DMDU for not posting on their last show I accidentally deleted it before posting it. I'm an idiot.

Jarrad Slate v. Hex v. Micheal Weaver in a No Rope Barbed Wire Match

This match was brutal. It had every barbed wire spot you could imagine.  That dive Hex did through the barbed wire door was gnarly. And the suplex Hex took on the needles was gnarly as well.

Jarrad Slate advances via pinfall
2.5/5

Xavier Black v. Clint Margera  in a Day The Music Died Death Match

This was a fun match. These 2 just beat the shit out of each other with instruments.
Clint Margera advances via pinfall
2/5

Will Walker v. Felix Young

I wasn't into this match but I liked seeing Will Walker get his ass beat.

Felix Young advances via pinfall
1/5

Vic Craig v. Joel Bateman

This match was insane. The Kasai Razorboard spots were insane and these two bled like crazy and cut each other up with Razor Wire. What more could you ask for?

Vic Craig advances via pinfall
3.25/5

James Hartness v. Neil Diamond Cutter
This match was good. It had a weird stipulation of every time a buzzer went off a bucket would get emptied containing some type of fuckery. It worked though.

Neil Diamond Cutter advances via pinfall
2.75/5

Jordan Samson v. Vixsin

This was a good behemoth match with a lot of broken glass.

Jordan Samson advances via pinfall
2/5


Jarrad Slate v. Felix Young v. Neil Diamond Cutter

This was fun but the ending got messed up. Those damn skinny tubes wouldn't break then the ref screwed up the count.

Neil Diamond Cutter advances via pinfall
2/5

Vic Craig v.Jordan Samson

This was a good match. It sucks Clint Margera got injured and couldn't be in this but There were still these two suplexing each other onto tacks.

Jordan Samson advances via pinfall
2.5/5

Cool Guy Squad v. The Valentines v. Axxton and Great George

This was a mess and very hard to keep track of. But it did what it was supposed to and got GCS over as heels.

The Valentines win via pinfall
1.25/5

Jordan Samson v. Neil Diamond Cutter

This was what a Death Match tournament final should be. Both men went hard. We had crazy spots like Samson getting dropkicked into a wine case of light tubes, the ring apron being moved, and having glass panes put over it and the finish with Samson suplexing NDC onto fire and then choking him out was incredible.

Jordan Samson wins D.R.E.A.M via pinfall
5/5

GCW v. The World 2023



Jordan Oliver defends the JCW Championship against Latigo

This was getting good but this was a sudden ending for some reason.

Jordan Oliver retains via pinfall
1/5

Bussy v. Maggot and Baby Allison

This was a good match. Maggot and Baby Allison were an entertaining team and i wouldn't mind seeing them stateside.

Bussy wins via pinfall
2.25/5

Amboss v. SGCunt

This was a hard-hitting affair and this was very chaotic but this was also good

Amboss wins via pinfall
2.5/5

Rina Yamashita defends the GCW Ultraviolent Championship against Lou Nixon

This match was great. I haven't seen enough Lou Nixon matches but he impressed me here. He can do great strikes and work a death match well. We had a few crazy spots like Rina using a staple gun on Nixon's Balls and Taint. We had a weedwacker used and Rina did the splash mountain through a barbed wire board bridge. Man, Rina has been on another level lately and stealing every show she is on.

Rina Yamashita retains via pinfall
3.75/5

Jimmy Lloyd v. The Rotation v. Aigle Blanc v. Mizuki Watase v. Arez v. Gringo Loco
This wasn't your usual GCW Scramble. This was very good. Gringo Loco's new destroyer move off the top rope is unreal. And I loved Rotation climbing the steel beam like a spider monkey and then diving off of the balcony.

Gringo Loco wins via pinfall
3.75/5

Blake Christian defends the GCW Championship against Axel Tischer

This was ok. Blake was great but Tischer didn't do it for me.

Joey Janela wins via pinfall

GCW: Jimmy Lloyd's Halloween Fright Fest 2019




Blake Christian v. Lucky 13

This was a great match and I got to see how athletic Lucky 13 is. I also enjoyed seeing Blake before he was a piece of shit.

Blake Christian wins via pinfall
3/5

Jordan Oliver v. Chris Dickinson

This was good. It was just Chris Dickinson beating the fuck out of a young Jordan Oliver.

Chris Dickinson wins via pinfall
2.5/5

Matt Tremont v. Atticus Cogar

This match was way too short but the way Tremont's head went through the door it may have been for medical reasons.

Atticus Cogar wins via pinfall
1/5

Effy v. Shlak

This match was insane. There was a lot of glass and a lot of blood. Shlak looks to have gotten a hole in his head from landing on a gusset-covered door and I loved the finish of Shlak jumping through a pane of glass onto Effy.

Shlak wins via pinfall
3.75/5

Scramble

We're back from break so I don't know who's in this. This was indeed and scramble and it wasn't very good but I got a table spot at least.

KTB wins via pinfall
1.25/5

Nick Gage defends the GCW Championship against Ruckus

This was getting good but the match was cut short to continue the RSP/MDK Feud. That's a feud I look forward to seeing more of.

No Contest
1.75/5

Rich Swann v. Alex Zayne

This was a good match and the balcony dive Alex Zayne did was nuts.

Alex Zayne wins via pinfall
2.5/5

Shotzi Blackheart v. Jimmy Lloyd

This was a great match and this was a side of Shotzi I've never seen. This girl went through tacks, stacks of chairs, and glass. But Shotzi got her stuff in by using many variations of destroyers and She used a fucking weedwacker! I will never watch another Shotzu match the same again.

Jimmy Lloyd wins via pinfall
4.5/5

GCW:Long Live GCW 2023


Jordan Oliver v. The Rotation

This was a really good match and I loved the nods to Trent Acid.

Jordan Oliver wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Gringo Loco v. Leon Slater

Shinghiro Irie v. Arez

This match was decent. I expected more out of the match itself but the finish with Irie larioting Arez's head off was crazy.

Shinhiro Irie wins via pinfall
2/5

Rina Yamashita defends the GCW Ultraviolent Championship against Jimmy Lloyd

This was great. Jimmy Lloyd has been underrated for a bit and tonight he showed people what he's about. Rina was vicious as usual here. She stabbed Jimmy Lloyd with skewers.

Rina Yamashita retains via pinfall
3.5/5

Norman Harris v. Dark Sheik

This was alright. Norman Harris looked good here and Dark Sheik continues to improve.

Dark Sheik wins via pinfall
2/5

Bussy v. Second Gear Crew

This was a great hard-hitting match. Effy bled a lot and that springboard DDT Allie busted out was great.

Bussy wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Blake Christian defends the GCW Championship against Peter Dihagni

This match was good. This Peter Dihangi is a great athlete and I see big things for him but tonight he was no match for Blake Christian and his heel tactics.

Blake Christian retains via pinfall
2/5

Joey Janela v. Nick Gage

This was a fun match. It was great to see Gage be able to go to another country and he tore it up. We got the signature Pizza Cutter spot. And tacks. A lot of tacks.

Nick Gage wins via pinfall
2.75/5

ICW NHB 52


 


Colby Corino v. Tommy Vendetta

This was a good match. We had water jugs, doors, and a tube. I liked Tommy Vendetta's Three Piledriver Amigos. And D-Mac going through a door and then busting out a stunner was nuts.

Tommy Vendetta wins via pinfall
2.5/5

Casanova  Valentine v. Otis Cogar

This match was good. Otis Cogar flew like a cruiserweight in this one. That dive Cogar did off the platform through the door was nuts. And I guess Otis's new finish is the CTE Chairshot. It's scary but effective.

Otis Cogar wins via referee stoppage
2.75/5

MM3 v. John Wayne Murdoch

This wasn't what I would call a death match but this was good. Yeah, there was a tube but these two for the most part worked a straight match and proved they can work.

John Wayne Murdoch wins via pinfall
2.5/5

Danny Demanto v. Atticus Cogar

This was a good match and an even better story. Atticus used a sample of Larry Legend introducing him so they used the internet to their advantage. The match was a crazy ass brawl and the skewer spots with Atticus putting them into Danny made me cringe. And after the cheap win, the story continued career v. 6 months of Atticus in ICW. Let's go!

Atticus Cogar wins via pinfall
3/5

Dr. Redacted v. Eric Ryan

This was a great match by 2 of the best in the game right now. These two beat the shit out of each other until they were both pools of blood and then did a sick submission sequence finish.

Eric Ryan wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Matt Tremont v. Reed Bentley

This was a good hard-hitting match between 2 behemoths. But more importantly, Reed Bentley opened up about his depression issues before the match and 1)thank you for powering through, I know from my issues it's way harder than it sounds 2) thanks for being honest with the fans and 3)you killed it, Reed.

Matt Tremont wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Hoodfoot defends the American Death Match Championship against Brandon Kirk

This was good. The spot of the match for me was the PSYCHODRIVERFUCKYOURLIFE through the pane of glass.

Hoodfoot retains via pinfall
2.5/5




Saturday, September 23, 2023

GCW v. TNT 2023


 

Tony Deppen v. Scotty Rawk v. Robbie X v. Gringo Loco

Gringo Loco wins via pinfall
2.5/5


Alexxis Falcon defends the TNT Womens Championship against Lizzy Evo

This was a squash match.

Joey Janela wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Rina Yamashita, Masha Slamovich, and Jimmy Lloyd v. Big F'n Joe, Clint Margera, and Paul Robinson

This was a great chaotic match. We had so much brawling around the arena that it was hard to keep up with. The craziest spot was Masha putting a saw in the mouth of Paul Robinson.

Big F'n Joe, Clint Margera, and Paul Robinson win via pinfall
3.25/5

Act Two v. Bussy

This was a decent match and Act Two looked impressive.

Bussy wins via pinfall
1.75/5

This was a good athletic match. This Man Like Deiress has something and I can't wait to see more of him.

Blake Christian retains via pinfall

Helen Charlotte Campbell v. Dark Sheik

This was a good match. Dark Sheik continues to improve in the ring and HCC looked great as well.

2.25/5

Mayfair wins the TNT Championship via pinfall
2.5/5

GCW:Liverpool 2023



The Boys v. CPF

This was a fun and quick match. Great team name for Jimmy Lloyd and Starboy Charlie in the boys and this better not be a one-off. CPF was amazing too. I forgot where I saw them before this and want more from them.

The Boys win via pinfall
2/5

Man Like Dereiss v. Jordan Oliver

This was a great athletic and high-flying match. Both men were very athletic and did some impressive shit.

Jordan Oliver wins via pinfall

This was a fun match. Blue Kane does the Kane spots well and was very worth the internet buzz.

Joey Janela wins via pinfall
2/5

Arez v. Latigo v. Gringo Loco

This was a great match but the star of this was Arez. This guy is getting better every time out and he's on the path to being one of the best unsigned talents out there right now.

Gringo Loco wins via pinfall
3.25/5

Rina Yamashita defends the GCW Ultraviolent Championship against Session Moth Martina

This was fun. It ended up being more of a comedy match but it worked. Rina was able to pull off comedy well and Martina bled like crazy.

Rina Yamashita retains via pinfall
2.25/5

Thrussy v. Team Mayfairs

I wasn't into this match. Thursday was good but Mayfair didn't impress me.

Masha Slamovich v. Tony Deppen

This was a great and hard-hitting match.

Masha Slamovich wins via submission
2.75/5

Blake Christian retains via pinfall
3.75/5

Los Macizos v. Big F'n Joe and Clint Margera

This match was so good. Both these teams used a ton of glass to beat the fuck out of each other. We had Joe using a dart gun on Miedo. We had 2 dolphin-covered glass panels used. One of which cut Big Joe badly to the point they had to rush to the finish.

Los Macizos win via pinfall
3.75/5

.
Hy-Zaya was looking good until he almost broke his Neck doing a Senton. Match wasnt good but injuries will do that.

Cash Flo wins via pinfall
0.75/5

Brad Bradley v. Chuck E. Smooth

This was not a good match. This was very sloppy and had some very dangerous botches. Which Chuck E. Smooth was moving afterwards so im glad he was seemingly okay.

Brad Bradley wins via pinfall
DUD

This match wasnt great. Chris Hero looked good but Trent Baker didn't do anything for me.

This was more of a comedy match so it served its purpose.

Mitch Page and Rollin Hard win via pinfall

This was getting good then it was over. This needed to be longer.

Axl Rotten wins via pinfall

Rey Mysterio Jr. V. Eddie Guerrero v. CM Punk
This was a great match. It was a very lucha-style match. All three men were doing crazy stuff and this shows why these guys are all talked about as 3 of the biggest stars in wrestling of the 2000s.

Eddie Guerrero wins via pinfall
3/5

Spyder Nate Webb and Mad Man Pondo v. Corporal Robinson and Necro Butcher in a Barbed Wire Board Death Match

Corporal Robinson and Necro Butcher win via pinfall
3/5

This match wasn't great but Frank Bonetti did impress me here. I could be coming around on Bonetti.

Frank Bonetti advances via pinfall
1.25/5

Leroy Robinson v. Marcus Mathers

This was a good and very athletic match. Leroy Robinson is having a breakout performance here.

Leroy Robinson advances via pinfall
2/5

Austin Luke defends the H2O Championship against Gabriel Skye

This was a pretty good match by two great athletes. I feel Gabriel Skye has more to offer than is being showcased in JCW and Austin Luke is so good. Luke needs more opportunities in other promotions.

Austin Luke retains via pinfall
2.75/5

Frank Bonetti v. Leroy Robinson

This match was good but tainted by some interference I didn't understand. I haven't been following H2O for long so that could be it but that still took away from the match.

Leroy Robinson wins Hustle Cup via pinfall
2/5

Saturday, September 16, 2023

Gringo Loco v. Dan Moloney

This was a good match.  I was impressed by Dan Moloney here. It's been a while since I've seen him wrestle and he has improved by leaps and bounds. Good signing by NJPW.

Dan Moloney wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Rina Yamashita defends the GCW Ultraviolent Championship against Emersyn Jayne

Great fucking match. Rina is one of the best going right now but Who is Emersyn Jayne and where the fuck has she been? These two hit each other so hard with tubes. And Both ladies bled so much. Emersyn used a hacksaw in this match! Goddamn! If Emersyn Jayne isn't in TOS next year the Brett is fucking up.

Rina Yamashita retains via pinfall
5/5

Jordan Oliver v. Geoff Crowley
I love Jordan Oliver but this match felt like I was watching RAW so I didn't like it.

CZW:Tournament of Death I



Zandig v. Nate Hatred

The match never got going because it was interrupted by Lobo and company

No Contest
DUD

Adam Flash v. Messiah

This was just a fast match for the moment. Messiah had made his return from having his thumb cut off if I'm not mistaken. So fuck yeah! for that.

Messiah advances via pinfall
0.25/5

Green Phantom and Arsenal v. Hardcore Ninjas

This was a good match. Arsenal could do some cool stuff so I have no idea why I have heard more of his name. We had a CTE shot onto Green Phantom which I will never get used to head shots.

Arsenal and Green Phantom win via pinfall
2.5/5

Necro Butcher v. Wifebeater

This was a great hard-hitting match. Both men bludgeoned each other with anything that wasn't nailed down and Widebeater pile drove Necro Butcher off the stage through a table below.

Wifebeater advances via pinfall
3/5

Nick Gage v. Toby Klein

This match was violent and too short and I felt both men had more to give.

Nick Gage advances via pinfall
1.75/5

Homeless Jimmy v. Sick Nick Mondo

Great match but let's skip the bullshit and get to the real reason this match is infamous. Sick Nick Mondo doing the assault driver off a Ryder truck through a table stack and tube cabins below. That's not even what made this spot sick. An inch more back and they would hit the ramp of the truck. This was Insanity!!!

Sick Nick Mondo advances via pinfall
3.75/5

Eric Tuttle and John Dahmer v. GQ and Chris Ca$h v. Sanjay Dutt and Derek Frazier v. Backseat Boyz
This was good and had a lot of great wrestling in this. Chris Ca$h, and Sanjay Dutt both Backseat Boyz. Goddamn CZW had some great talent in 2002.

Backseat Boyz win via pinfall
2.75/5

Nick Berk v. Ruckus v. Justice Pain

This was a great match. For Ruckus to be that big back then and do the things he was able to do was unreal. Plus Justice Pain was a great wrestler that is what could have been the story.

Ruckus wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Nick Gage v. Wifebeater

This was great. These two beat the fuck out of each other and threw each other through numerous panes of glass.

Wifebeater advances via pinfall
3/5

Sick Nick Mondo v. Messiah

This was a great match. Considering this was right after the Thumb Incident Messiah did some athletic shit. And these two broke anything that wasn't nailed down on each other. 

Sick Nick Mondo advances via pinfall
3/5

Sick Nick Mondo v. Wifebeater

This was insane. These two both went to war in this one. And the infamous weedwhacker spot in this is real. Yeah, Wifebeater won the match but this tournament solidified Sick Nick Mondo as one of the all-time greats with his performance in this.  I'm sure this contributed to his career being cut short but what else is there for him to do? If you read this Mondo thank you for real for your sacrifices that night.

Wifebeater wins Tournament of Death via pinfall
3/5

These two did not have much time but they made use of it. These two beat the fuck out of each other and that's what I like to see.

Manders wins via pinfall
2.25/5

Jordan Oliver defends the JCW Championship against Griffin McCoy

This was a great technical match. And Jordan Oliver had a gnarly cut on his elbow from landing on the floor from a dive. That thing needs stitches for sure.
Jordan Oliver retains via pinfall
3/5

Alec Price defends the Battle Bowl Ring in a Ladder Match against Joshua Bishop

This was good. It was what I expected it to be with Joshua Bishop doing the big man spots and Alec Price doing the high-flying.

GCW:Crushed Up 2023


 

Bussy v. Los Macizos v. Wasted Youth v. Cole  Radrick and Alec Price

This was a nice change up from the scramble they usually do. Los Macizos did some new tricks. I like the one where Miedo takes a hit and Ciclope walks across their opponents.

Los Macizos win via pinfall
2/5

Richard Holliday v. Charles Mason

This was a pretty good match. Richard Holliday is a great wrestler and to have that caliber of a match with Charles Mason proves this.

3/5

Maki Itoh v. Killer Kelly
This was good. Maki is getting better and better each outing I see her in.

Maki Itoh wins via pinfall

Both teams worked at a very fast pace and this was a great match. For the match only being 10 minutes both teams got everything in.

East West Express won via pinfall
3/5

Joey Janela v. Alex Couglin

This was a great match. I honestly think Janela can make a case as one of the best wrestlers in the world right now.  And that deadlift suplex Couglin did to Joey off of the floor was insane and NJPW is doing Coughlin wonders because from the start of this year to now he has improved greatly. And these two went hard as fuck in this match and beat the shit out of each other.

Joey Janela wins via pinfall
4.5/5


Bobby Flaco v. Grim Reefer

This match was interrupted by Jacob Fatu

No Contest
0.25/5

Jacob Fatu v. Mance Warner

This was a great fight. Fight because this wasn't a match it was a legit fight. And holy shit can Jacob Fatu do some stuff. This man dove 3 quarters of the way across the ring through a door. Then proceeded to do a Best Moonsault Ever onto Mance Warner who was holding a door twice!

Jacob Fatu wins via pinfall
3.5/5

Steph DeLander, Matt Cardona, and Blake Christian v. Masha Slamovich, Akira and Jimmy Lloyd

This was good and I liked that this continued the Masha and Blake feud.

Masha Slamovich, Blake Christian, and Jimmy Lloyd win via pinfall
2.25/5

Speedball Mike Bailey v. Rina Yamashita

This was amazing. We had another clash of styles that worked out well. Speedball was the one to get color here and Rina proved once again that just because you wrestle Death Match doesn't mean that you don't know how to work all styles.

Rina Yamashita wins via pinfall
4.75/5

This was a very fast-paced match that I thought was too short.

Austin Luke wins via pinfall

Kennedi Copeland retains via pinfall
2/5

Ron Bass Jr. Defend the H2O Tag Team Championship against B3CCA and Aaron Rourke and Kaos Control

Sawyer Wreck wasn't in this match but it was still great. This was a nice way to showcase everyone involved and if this is the future of H2O the future is bright.

Kaos Kontrol won the H2O Tag Team Championship via pinfall
3/5

This was a fun match. I liked that Mouse had ska playing in the background New Jack style and Bam bled like crazy from his back.

Bam Sullivan retains via pinfall
2.25/5

Manders defends the H2O Championship against Matt Tremont

This was a great match.  Both men beat the fuck out of each other.  Both men were bleeding like crazy and the finish where Manders suplexed Tremont off the top rope through a barbed wire board, held up by bails of hay was insanity.

Manders retains via pinfall
3.5/5

After the match, Austin Luke called out Manders for a title shot and Manders accepted

Manders defends the H2O Championship against Austin Luke

For what this match was it was hard-hitting af.

3.75/5

East Coast v. Midwest

Honestly, nothing stood out to me in this match.
Midwest won via pinfall

This was a very good very physical match.  These two brawled around the arena and Sawyer bludgeoned Billie with a door.

Sawyer Wreck wins via pinfall
2.25/5

Bussy v. Sonny Kiss and Pimpinella Escarlata

This was a very fun and very entertaining match. This is the best Sonny Kiss outing I have seen to date and Pimpinella proved why Pimpinella is a legend.

Another Scramble

This was a good match.  And Violence is Forever impressed me this time so maybe I'm starting to come around on them.

Violence Is Forever wins via pinfall
2/5

Los Macizos v. Rina Yamashita and Masha Slamovich

This was a great match. Four of the current greats doing what they do. We had a nice door spot where Ciclope drove Masha off the apron through a door bridge. We also had Rina giving Miedo CTE with a chair shot.

Rina Yamashita and Masha Slamovich win via pinfall
3.5/5

Joey Janela v. Lash LeRoux

This was a good match. Lash LeRoux can still go like he did in 1999 and for him doing door spots thats insanity. Welcome Back Lash.

Joey Janela wins via pinfall

Cole Radrick and Alec Price v. Bang and Mathews

This was decent. This was very fast-paced and needed to be longer. 

Bang and Mathews win via pinfall
1.5/5

This was a great match. Both men doing what they do best. Tony Deppen using powder to win was great too.

3/5

Swoggle and Colt Cabana v. John Wayne Murdoch and Tony Deppen

Swoggle and Colt Cabana win via pinfall
2.25/5

El Hijo De Vikingo v. Nick Gage

This was a really good match.  Vikingo got his Lucha spots in. But this turned into more of a Hardcore match. Vikingo held his own there and Did a sick drop kick through a door. Also, the spot where Gage DDT'd Vikingo through the stack of chairs was great.

3.5/5

GCW:Joey Janela Lost in New York 2018


 

Spyder Nate Webb v. MJF

This was a good match. Did not know MJF did GCW but I'm glad to see it. Nate Webb impressed me here because around this time he could do some cool shit in the ring. The involvement with Wheatus was cool too.

MJF wins via pinfall
2/5

KTB v. Marko Stunt

This was a good match. This appeared to be the star-making performance of Marko Stunt and KTB did some cool power moves.

KTB wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Nick Gage defends the GCW Championship against Sabu
This was a cool dream match scenario but the match itself wasn't great. This is when MDK was in his prime but everything Sabu did back in ECW was catching up to him. A for effort but very sloppy. 

Nick Gage retains via pinfall
1.5/5

Jimmy Lloyd v. Eli Everfly v. Gringo Loco v. Tony Deppen v. G-Raver v. Orange Cassidy in a Grab the Brass Ring Match

Penelope Ford v. Ethan Page

This was a good match. I was impressed by Ethan Page and the power moves he could do.

This was too short for me. Shinzaki played the hits in this but I wanted more from him.

P.C.O v. Matt Riddle

This was a really good match.  I finally got to see the car battery spot with PCO. And god was Riddle a beast in this era. Don't get me wrong Riddle is still good in the E but this was a great time for him.

PCO wins via pinfall
3.5/5

Circle 6: Sickest of the Six 2023

 


Dale Patricks v. Deklan Grant

I liked this match. There was a lot of tubes. Barbed wire boards were used and at the end Dale Patricks finger looked like it was going ti fall off. Glad he was okay.

Dale Patricks advances via pinfall
2.5/5


Akira v. Orin Veidt

I liked this match because it had a good mix of wrestling styles. We had good wrestling to where it was more than just grab a headlock and sit there for 10 minutes. There was a lot of glass and tunes to satisfy my death match needs and at the end of the match there was blood squirting out of Orin Veidt's hand so im glad hes good.

Akira advances via pinfall
3.5/5

Otis Cogar v. Remington Rhor

This one was a hoss fight. It was a good match. Remington Rhor is one of my favorite discoverys this year and glad he's killing it on a bigger stage. That chair shot Otis gave Rhor at the end of the match had to have given Remington Rhor a concussion.

Otis Cogar advances via pinfall
2/5

Atticus Cogar v. Mathew Justice

This was a great match. We had a nice brawl around Reggie's and some really good wrestling too.


Matthew Justice wins via pinfall
3.25/5

Deklan Grant v. Remington Rhor v. Orin Veidt v. Tommy Vendetta

This was a grear match. It was a very blink and youll miss something affair. And the star that got made during this Tournament was Deklan Grant and now i see why hes pushed so much on H2O. Keep it up kid and lets see you take over the world in a few years.


Tommy Vendetta advances via pinfall
3.25/5

Dale Patricks v. Otis Cogar

This was a really good match. I usually dont like dog collar matches but i was into this one. We had a lot more glass used and both men bled like stuck pigs.

Dale Patricks advances via pinfall
3/5

Tommy Vendetta v. Akira

This was another good match where again,both men proved death match wrestlers can work. There was a fun brawl in the crowd and a lot of glass used.

Akira advances via pinfall
3/5

Matt Tremont and Bobby Beverly v. Alex Colon and AJ Gray

I was already taken back because i got to see a legend like Matt Tremont in a venue like Reggies. Now add the surprise of a Death Match legend like Alex Colon and you got a good match. We had a brawl around the arena and Matt Tremont putting AJ Gray through a shower door right in front of me.


Matt Tremont and Bobby Beverly win via pinfall
3.5/5

Dale Patricks v. Akira

I liked this match but by the end the tubes felt a little repetitive. It was a good match dont get me wrong but i wanted something different by that point. The match had to be stopped at one point so Dale Patricks could tape up his finger so i hope that worked out for him.



Akira wins sickest of the six via pinfall
2.75/5

H2O:Barbed Wire City Showdown 2


 

Jess Moss v. Deklan Grant in a No Rope Barbed Wire Match

I enjoyed this match. The spot where Deklan got caught in the barbed wire at the beginning was scary. This was very reminiscent of an ECW match in '97. The end kind of took away from it with Jess missing the double stomp onto the barbed wire fence but it was still a good match.

Jess Moss wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Ryan Redfield and G.G. Everson v. Jay Marston and Devil Dog

This was just an average tag match.

Jay Marston and Devil Dog win via pinfall
1/5

Cecilio Vega v. Rocket

This wasn't bad. They went really heavy on the strikes here and I wouldn't mind another go around from these two with more time

Cecilio Vega wins via submission
1.5/5

Anthraxx v. Alex Stretch v.Lady Blakely

This was good. Both Alex Stretch and Anthraxx were gushing blood from gusset-play shots. The floor is the H2O Center is now covered in blood from this match.

Alex Stretch wins via pinfall
3.5/5

Jayden Newman v. Jimmy Chondo Lyon

This was fun. It was just a giant brawl around the arena that saw the Chondo getting whopped and dragged around the arena.

Jayden Newman wins via pinfall
2/5

Kennedi Copeland defends the Hybrid Championship against Jimmy Lloyd


This was a good match. I don't know what it is but I see star potential in Kennedi Copeland and she had a good showing against Jimmy Lloyd. The match started a bit but once it got going it was good.

Kennedi Copeland retains via pinfall
2.25/5

Matt Tremont defends the IWTV Championship against Austin Luke

This was a good match. Austin Luke is another one from the H2O roster that I think is a future star. He got a good non-Death Match out of Tremont so that should say something.

Matt Tremont retains via pinfall
2.25/5

Brandon Kirk defends the Danny Havoc Hardcore Championship against Bam Sullivan in a Ladder Match

I enjoyed this match. We had some crazy spots. Like these two exchanging light tube shots on the ladder and Brandon falling off a ladder through a pane of glass that was on fire and then being lit on fire.

Bam Sullivan wins the Danny Havoc Hardcore Championship
2.5/5

Outback Adam wins via pinfall
3.5/5

Caveman Ugg defends the ROW Championship against Solomon Blackwell



This was a good match but for some reason, the Table wouldn't cooperate with Caveman Ugg again. I guess Ugg has bad luck with tables.

Caveman Ugg retains via pinfall
2/5

Charli Evans and Everett Connors v. Steph DeLander and Punch Drunk Istria

This match was good because of the chemistry Charli Evans and SDL have with each other. Everett Connors did some great high-flying stuff as well.

Steph DeLander and Punch Drubk Istria win via pinfall
2/5

El Hijo De Vikingo defends the AAA Mega Championship against Mitch Ryder

This was a great match. We all know how good Vikingo is. But this Mitch Ryder hung well with him and I want more Mitch Ryder.
