H2o:Tremont's Death Match Tournament 4

 

Chris Bradley v. Jimmy Chondo Lyon v. Mouse v. Neil Diamond Cutter

This was a decent match. Mouse was entertaining and had a fun spot where he used a Taser. NDC continued to be on another level as well.

Neil Diamond Cutter advances via pinfall
2/5

Sean Campbell v. Tim Donst v. MM3 v. Lucky 13

This was a good match. All 4 men impressed me in this one. I have heard the name Tim Donst but have never seen him wrestle. This was his return and I hope to keep seeing him. Every time I see Sean Campbell wrestle he cheats death and I'm glad he is getting an East Coast shot. 

Lucky 13 advances via pinfall
2.75/5

Ron Bass Jr v. Hardway Heeter v. Mickie Knuckles v. Bam Sullivan

This was a great match and Mickie Knuckles was the star of this match. Her use of the gusset wings was great. And Bam bled so much in this match.

Mickie Knuckles advances via pinfall
3/5

Kristian Ross v. Danny Demanto v. Tommy Vendetta v. Deklan Grant

This match was good and it had a lot of light tube breaking but the end where there doing the Danny v. Attic storyline was weird and should be kept in the promotion the feud is happening.
Deklan Grant advances via pinfall
2.75/5

Low Life Louie v. GG Everson in an Anything Goes Match

This was a good and hard-hitting match with a lot of violence but nothing stood out to me.

GG Everson wins via pinfall
2/5

Presidents Cabinet v. Tremont's Angels of Death in an All-Out War match

While not being a great match this served its purpose of being a light-hearted match to lighten everyone up before the finals

Tremont's Angels of Death win via pinfall
1.75/5

Alex Stretch v. Anthraxx in a Last Man Standing Match

This was great. We had a lot of crazy stuff like a pumpkin wrapped in barbed wire. We had the use of fire and the finish where they threw it back to the 1999 Royal Rumble was great.

Anthrax wins via stoppage
3.5/5

Neil Diamond Cutter v. Lucky 13 v. Mickie Knuckles v. Deklan Grant

This was great and this was a fucking fight. My takeaway from this is I'm Glad Mickie won and she deserves it.

Mickie Knuckles wins the TDMT 4 via pinfall
4/5

H2O:Bound By Blood 2023

 

Ron Bass Jr. V. Matt Tremont

This was a good match. It was a bit slow moving but them beating the shit out of each other made up for it. Ron Bass Jr. Is gonna be a legend.

Ron Bass Jr. Wins via pinfall
2.5/5

Cecilio Vega and Homeless Von defend the H2O Tag Team Championship against Fully Loaded


This match wasn't too good but I was into the Homeless Von gimmick. Not sure where Rocket was for this match but I hope all is well with him.

Cecilio Vega and Homeless Von retain his pinfall
1/5

Adonis Valerio v. Leroy Robinson

This wasn't a bad match but it needed more time. I felt just as it was just getting going it was over.

Adonis Valerio wins via pinfall
1.5/5

GG Everson v. Mouse

This match didn't do it for me. While Mouse looked awesome in the ring, this match just didn't gel well with me.

Mouse wins via pinfall
1/5

Brian Neil v. Duncan Aleem in a Singapore Cane on a Pole Match
This was a good match. We had some athletic wrestling then these two beat the shot out of each other with a Singapore cane as advertised.

Duncan Aleem wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Jess Moss defends the Hybrid Championship against Bobby Orlando

This was a short good and violent match. Bobby Orlando had a lot of charisma and was very over with the crowd and I would like to see more of him.

Jess Moss retains via pinfall
2/5

Deklan Grant v. Neil Diamond Cutter

This was a war. Neil Diamond Cutter has been on top of his game all of this year and tonight he brought the fight to Grant. Deklan Grant is really good and has been impressing me since I saw him at Circle 6 in September. These two beat each other with anything that was not nailed down and I loved it.

Neil Diamond Cutter wins via pinfall
3/5

Austin Luke defends the H2O Championship against Frank Bonetti

This was a good straight-up wrestling match. In the ring, Frank Bonetti doesn't do so much for me but his heel work is great. Austin Luke is a great wrestler who continues to get better.

Austin Luke retains via pinfall
2.75/5

Bam Sullivan defends the Danny Havoc Hardcore Championship against President Hawkins

I'll just be honest.  This match was just okay but I just enjoyed President Hawkins getting his ass whooped.

Bam Sullivan retains via pinfall
2/5

IWA Mid-South: House of Hardcore 2002

 

Dysfunction v. Brad Bradley

This wasn't a good match. Nothing about it was impressive.

Brad Bradley wins via pinfall
1/5

Adrian Serrano v. Cash Flo

There wasn't much to this match either but Cash Flo looked good.

Cash Flo wins via pinfall
1.25/5

Vic Capri v. Colt Cabana


This was a great match. If you need a reminder Cabana can go watch this match. Dont know a whole lot about Vic Capri other than he's a local legend and apparently, he can go as well.

Vic Capri wins via pinfall
3/5


Rollin Hard and Mitch Page defend the IWA Mid South Tag Team Championship against Mitch Ryder and Todd Morton in a 2 out of 3 falls Match

I wasn't too into this match. There was a lot of blood and it was hard-hitting but the promo at the beginning and the end of the match went on too long and took away from the match for me.

Rollin Hard and Mitch Page retain via pinfall, 2 falls to 1
2/5

Ace Steel v. Mike Quackenbush

This was a good match. This was your typical 2000s indie match but Ace Steel could do some cool stuff.

Ace Steel wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Trent Baker and Bull Pain v. Bad Breed in an I Quit Match


This match was okay. A lot of crazy brawling in the arena and the spot where Bull Pain hit Ian Rotten in the wrist with a baseball bat was sick. But the end was kind of sudden.

Bad Breed wins via submission
2.5/5

CM Punk defends the IWA Mid South Championship against Chris Hero in a TLC Match

I've been told to check this match out for years. And why the fuck did I wait so long? This lives up to the hype for me. These two went hard for an hour with little to no regard for each other and did some crazy ladder spots as well. Please don't wait as long as I did and watch this match.

CM Punk retains
5/5

Circle 6:Thriller 2023

 

Dale Patricks v. Orin Veidt in a Barbed Wire Bundle Match

This was a good and brutal match. As promised there were a lot of light tubes and barbed wire. What amazes me most is Thar two just worked Chicago the night before and hopped a plane to LA. These two must be exhausted. The assault driver at the end looked sick but Orin Veidt had to be carried out and I hope all is good.

Dale Patricks wins via pinfall
2.25/5

Mad Man Pondo v. Otis Cogar

I enjoyed this match. It's always good to see Mad Man Pondo and Otis is always great. Pondo brought it to Otis early carving up Otis with scissors and then shoving them into Otis's mouth. Otis got Pondo back by suplexing him onto cinder blocks with light tubes on top of them. We got the good old-fashioned staple gun spot. And Pondo got to do the headshot this time.

Mad Man Pondo wins via pinfall
2/5

Journey Fatu v. AJ Gray in a Pane Killer match

I loved this match. This one is easy to review.
Two big men went in there and beat the fuck out of each other.

AJ Gray wins via pinfall
4/5


Dale Patricks v. Drake Younger

This match was decent but I'm not gonna lie. I still have a hard time watching a Drake match in 2023. If you know you know, sorry but not really.

Drake Younger wins via pinfall
2/5

Matthew Justice v. Masato Tanaka

This match was great. Masato Tanaka can still move like he did in 1998. We got all the classic spots like the roaring elbow, dives through tables, and CTE shots and they were all done flawlessly. Matthew Justice was a wild man here as well and there is nothing this man will not jump off of.

Matthew Justice wins via pinfall
3.5/5

GCW:Blood In The Hills 2

 

Jordan Oliver defends the JCW Championship against Jordan Cruz

This was a great match. I like this fire out of Jordan Oliver. And I haven't seen a whole lot of Jordan Cruz but he was really good here. This reminded me of a PWG match from 2016 and I was here for it.

Jordan Oliver retains via submission
3.5/5

Bobby Flaco v. Lil Cholo

This was okay but it felt like this was just there for filler.

Lil Cholo wins via pinfall
1/5

Los Macizos defend the GCW Tag Team Championship against Violence Is Forever
This match was decent. Violence Is Forever still isn't what I'm into. They do a MMA-type gimmick but it's missing something to me. Macizos are the best so that is what kept this interesting.

Los Macizos retain via pinfall
2.25/5


Thrussy v. Gahbage  Daddys and Bodhi Young Prodigy


This was a good match. It started with a lot of comedy but as the match went on the action picked up and Bodhi Young Prodigy got to showcase himself. I can see BYP being able to fill some of the void Nick Wayne left.

Thrussy wins via pinfall
2.5/5

Jack Cartwheel v. Tony Deppen

This was a great match. It's what you would expect from these two. Tony Deppen is a dick and a great in-ring performer. Jack Cartwheel doing all the flips and crazy stuff. The surprise of Jack Cartwheel pulling off the W was great as well.

Jack Cartwheel wins via pinfall
3.75/5

Jimmy Lloyd v. Sawyer Wreck


This was a good match. Jimmy Lloyd has been on another level in his matches lately and this is no different. That chokeslam he took on the door/chair on its side combo was sick.

Sawyer Wreck wins via pinfall
3/5

Blake Christian defends the GCW Championship against Paul London

This match was good. Blake was great and Paul London doesn't do many shows anymore but he did play the hits and do all the cool stuff he did in the early 2000s. Pacing this started a bit slow for me but once I got going it was great.

Blake Christian retains via pinfall
2.75/5

JTG v. Santana Jackson

This was a fun match. The Santana Jackson gimmick is cool. Sucks Joey couldn't make it but it was good to see JTG.

Santana Jackson wins via pinfall
2/5

Arez and Gringo Loco v. Aramis and Rey Horus


This was a great match. The only thing I can say about this was it was like watching a video game. The stuff the Lucha division in GCW does questions what little I know about physics every time.

Arez and Gringo Loco win via pinfall
3.25/5

CZW:Bloodbath 2000

 

The Kashmirinos v. John Dahmer and Trent Acid

This was a good match. I had never seen this gimmick from Johnny Kashmer but this was fun. Fuck Trent Acid was so good.

John Dahmer and Trent Acid win via pinfall
1.5/5

Mercury v. Reckless Youth

This was a good match. This was pre ROH so this one would have fit right in there.

Mercury wins via pinfall
2.25/5

Haas Brothers v. Wifebeater and Big Mack Smack

This was an okay match. The Haas Brothers were a great team and did some groundbreaking stuff back then. Wifebeater in a non-death match capacity doesn't do it for me though. 

Haas Brothers win via pinfall
2/5

Ric Blade defends the Junior Heavyweight Championship against Low Ki

This was a great match and you can see how CZW in this era was ahead of its time. We got an athletic hard-hitting match with a lot of crazy high spots.

Ric Blade retains via pinfall
3.25/5

Justice Pain and the Thrill Kill v. Nick Gage, Lobo, and TBK

This was an insane brawl. I see why most of these men in here are regarded as death match legends.  And everyone in this match was young and full of piss and vinegar. 

Justice Pain and Thrill Kill win via pinfall
3.5/5

Ian Rotten v. Mad Man Pondo

Well, this match was interesting. It was very bloody and very violent. But it had a nonfinish. I did see the infamous scissor incident. So Axl Rotten made a surprise appearance and cut Pondo in the arm with scissors but he cut deep. That was very gnarly looking.

No Contest
2.5/5

ICW NHB 54

 

Orin Veidt v. Eric Ryan

Before the match Danny Demanto got jumped and Otis Cogar joined 44oh. So this got jump-started. This was a really good match that was chaotic and had a light tube galore.


Eric Ryan wins via pinfall
3.5/5

Tommy Vendetta v. Dale Patricks

I enjoyed this match. I hadn't seen Dale Patricks around much until recently. I don't know if he was out with an injury or dealing with life but I'm glad to see him back. This match had a lot of glass and a lot of blood so thats a good thing.

Tommy Vendetta wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Eric Dillinger v. MM3

This was a really good match. Not only did we get a Death Match with all the trimmings but we got an arhletic wrestling match as well. It was cool to see everything I love about wrestling mixed.

MM3 wins via pinfall
3/5

Jeff King v. Matt Tremont

This was a good match. The thing I respect about Tremont is not only is he a legend but he knows how to make anyone he works with look good. If you wanna know where you stand in the Death Match world get in the ring with Tremont. Jeff King was great and this weekend I didn't know much about him but I want to know more.

Matt Tremont wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Krule v. Dr. Redacted

This will be short. This match was great because going into this one if you were in the building you knew not to sit down because you knew that you would have to have your head on a swivel the whole time and this lived up to the hype. These two just killed each other.

Krule wins via submission
4/5

Hoodfoot defended the American Death Match Championship against Pagano

This was a good match and these two brawled all over the Berwyn Eagles Club but my only gripe was this seemed rushed. Given more time this could have been better but I get it. The show started late so it was what it was.



Hoodfoot retains via pinfall
2.75/5

RPW:Devil's Night Urban Harvest 2023

 

Sam Beale defends the RPW Championship against Hoodfoot

I enjoyed this match. What I got out of this is how good of a heel Sam Beale is. Hoodfoot is always great and He's now a dual champ.


Hoodfoot wins the RPW Championship via pinfall
2.25/5

The Bruisers v. Eric Dillinger and Dale Patricks

This was a great match. There was a lot of outside brawling. There were a lot of tubes and glass spots. There was also a great spot where Robby from the Bruisers suplexed Eric Dillinger off of the stage and through a door bridge waiting below. And speaking of Robby he also got hit with a cross with gussets on it.

The Bruisers win via pinfall
3/5

MM3 v. Jeff King

I enjoyed this match. This may have been my first time seeing Jeff King but he was impressive here. Let's not forget MM3 either whatever You want out of a pro wrestler, 3 has got it.

MM3 wins via pinfall
2/5

Schwartzy defends the Kamikaze Championship against Remington Rhor

This was a great match. There was a nice blade spot that was right next to me. And my apologies for being oblivious and not moving out of the IWTV man" 's way right away. These maniacs were blasting each other with tubes in the crowd. There was an insane spot where Remington Rhor slammed Schwartzy through a stack of doors and glass. And Remington Rhor won the title and got the You Deserve it chants, which I agree with. Remington has been on an absolute rampage and I can't wait to see what he does with that championship.


Remington Rhor wins the Kamikaze Championship via pinfall
3/5

Judge Joe Dred v. Otis Cogar

This was an absolute hoss fight where these two beat the fuck out of each other with tubes. I did not know this going in but Judge Joe Dred was working with a broken wrist so they worked over his wrist the whole match. It was cool to see ring psychology used here.

Otis Cogar wins via submission
3/5

Randi West defends the Rust Belt Championship against Tommy Vendetta

This was another great match. I hadn't seen too much of Tommy Vendetta as a heel but it's good and I wouldn't mind seeing this side of TOV on more shows. The only issue of this match was they had a door stack outside of the ring and Tommy fell onto it, Randi West then dove onto it, and nothing. That's OK because the match was still great.

Tommy Vendetta wins the Rust Belt Championship via pinfall
3/5

Dr. Redacted v. Shlak

I can keep this one short and sweet. This was amazing. It was an insane brawl throughout the Berwym Eagles Club and at various points, I feared for my life during that match.

Shlak wins via pinfall
4.5/5

Atticus Cogar v. Matt Tremont

This was supposed to be Atticus v. Pagano but Pagano had travel issues so Matt Tremont stepped up. This was a good match but it seemed rushed. We got all the signature Atticus and Tremont spots but the venue had to be cleared out so the next show could start so these guys were the victims of time.



Atticus Cogar wins via pinfall
2.5/5

ICW NHB 53

 

MM3 v. Orin Veidt

I enjoyed this match. Both men were very charismatic and we had a lot of glass and tubes used in this one.


MM3 wins via pinfall
2.5/5


Eric Dillinger v. Tommy Vendetta

I enjoyed this match as well. We had a lot of brawling through the crowd. Tommy Vendetta delivered a nasty Piledriver to Eric Dillinger through a stack of tubes on top of a door. And either Darren McCarthy was selling well or he got fucked up with the bundle of tubes he took to the head.

Tommy Vendetta wins via pinfall
2.5/5

Joshua Bishop v. Krule

I liked this match. It was just a straight-up hoss fight. And they kept this one short and sweet.

Krule wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Dale Patricks v. Danny Demanto

This was supposed to be Eric Ryan v. Dale Patricks but Eric Ryan had car issues so the match got changed to Danny Demanto v. Dale Patricks. I'm not complaining this was a good match. There was a lot of brawling throughout the arena. Danny hit a nice-looking destroyer off of the stage onto a chair with light tubes across it. And I'm glad Dale Patricks is popping up again. He's the man.


Dale Patricks wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Kaplan v. Dr. Redacted

This match was a lot of fun. I think this may have been my first time seeing Kaplan but I loved what I saw. He's a big man that can do some high-flying. And Redacted is one of the best wrestlers going right now. His matches are always a lot of fun and always leave you wondering how he walks out of the arena after everyone with the crazy stuff he does in the ring.


Dr. Redacted wins via pinfall
3/5

Matt Tremont v. Remington Rhor

This was my match of the night. Remington Rhor is so good. This man is having a breakout year and as soon as he gets booked on the east coast there will be no stopping him. Tremont needs no introduction. These two behemoths beat the shit out of each other. This was a very bloody affair and we even had a knife board spot. This seemed like it was designed to put Remington over as a major player and in my eyes, mission accomplished.


Matt Tremont wins via pinfall
3.25/5

Hoodfoot defends the American Death Match Championship against Mickie Knuckles

This was another great match. Hoodfoot is on a rampage right now and his title reign is legendary. Mickie proved why she is a legend in Death Match wrestling here by taking a lot of punishment and giving a lot more punishment back. These two had great timing chemistry and this match worked great due to that.


Hoodfoot retains via pinfall
3/5

GCW:The Wrld on GCW

 

Bussy and Maki Itoh v. 3 Kikutaros

This was a good comedy match to start it off. The other two Kikutaro's ended up being Abdullah Kobayashi and Jimmy Lloyd and I just had fun watching this.

Bussy and Maki Itoh win via pinfall
2/5

Toru Suiguira and Takashi Sasaki defend the GCW Tag Team Championship against Los Macizos

This was a good match. For Ciclope to take bumps on barbed wire after nearly dying 5 days ago he is not human. I noticed over the weekend as well that Suiguira is good with crowd interaction and has a lot of charisma which makes his matches fun.

Los Macizos won the GCW Tag Team Championship via pinfall
2.5/5


John Wayne Murdoch v. Toshiyuki Sakuda v. Violento Jack v. Masashi Takeda

This was a great match. Takeda was lying in those chair shots that would give you CTE no problem.  The Sakuda skewer spot always makes me cringe. And we had tons of blood and violence. Plus some good straight wrestling at one point in this too.

John Wayne Murdoch wins via pinfall
3/5

Gringo Loco v. El Hijo Del Vikingo

This match was insane. Vikingo continues to amaze me. I mean how the fuck did he do the hurricanrana off of the rail with such ease? And Gringo continues to up his game. I feel this was a year Gringo Loco let everyone know what he's about and he's on track to being one of the best luchadors in the world.

El Hijo Del Vikingo wins via pinfall
5/5

Blake Christian defends the GCW Championship against Blakd Christian

This was a good match. Started slow and technical but once the ref bump happened things started to pick up. Jordan Oliver decided to try and out-cheat Blake but it didn't work.

Blake Christian retains via pinfall
3/5

Joey Janela v. Jun Kasai
This match was so good. Joey keeps proving to me why he is one of the best all-around wrestlers in the world. Janela can have a high-caliber match in any type of match with anyone right now and is really on top of his game. Jun Kasai played the hits here with the boards of sharp objects coming into play. I loved this.

Jun Kasai wins via pinfall
4.25/5

Rina Yamashita defends the Ultraviolent Championship against Masha Slamovich

This is a peak behind the curtain but this show aired before I had to go to work so all day I had been hearing the hype on this match and by god did this deliver? These two warriors beat the fuck out of each other.  I'm not sure if Masha was known for death matches but after this match, she is now. And if Rina isn't your death match wrestler of the year you're not thinking. Rina's title run is history in the making and I'm here for it. In the match itself, we had a ton of tubes. A ton of blood and a scary spot where Rina's sidewalk slammed Masha through a tube bridge from the apron. This whole match was unreal. Watch this shit.

Rina Yamashita retains via pinfall
5/5

CZW:Tournament of Death 2023

 

Bobby Beverly v. Eric Dillinger

This was a good match. The only weapon used was tubes. These two were so good that they had some creative spots. Bobby Beverly using the tube for a chop. Eric Dillinger placing a tube under his leg and doing a leg drop reminded me of Sick Nick Mondo. And the fisherman suplex finish Bobby Beverly did through the glass was insane.

Bobby Beverly advances via pinfall
3.25/5

Mickie Knuckles v. Otis Cogar

This match was great and very intense. We had a barbed wire unicorn being shoved up Otis Cogar's ass. Otis did his signature CTE shots. We had a water jug with thumbtacks used. And this was just pure insanity.
Mickie Knuckles advances via submission
3/5

Shlak v. Eric Ryan

This was a good match. This one started with chain wrestling which you don't see in every Shlak match. This picked up the pace towards the end and had many tubes and terakata pots. Plus that cut on Eric Ryan's chest was pretty gnarly.

Shlak advances via pinfall
2.75/5

Judge Joe Dred v. Big Fn' Joe

This was a great match. They had the crowd scattering so much that it reminded me of a Godzilla movie. Big Joe was beating Joe Dres with a chicken at one point. And the Finish where Big Joe stuffed Joe Dred in a plastic bag full of tubes and bludgeoned him to death.  Great shit.

Big Fn' Joe advances via referee stoppage
3.75/5

Bobby Beverly v. Mickie Knuckles v. Shlak v. Big Fn' Joe

This was a good match.  My only gripe was it was a 4 Way so it was a bit chaotic and hard to keep track of. I liked it but it didn't have the feel of a Tournament of Death final.

Big Fn' Joe wins Tournament of Death via pinfall
2.25/5

GCW:To Live and Die in Tokyo 2023

 

Unagi Sayaka v. Masha Slamovich

This was a great match. This was very hard hitting and both of these ladies went for it. I wasn't very familiar with Sayaka going into this but I am a fan now and I want to see what else she can do.

Masha Slamovich wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Maki Itoh v. Jimmy Lloyd

This was a good match. Jimmy is on another level lately. And Maki is great as well. We got a pizza cutter used from Maki and that's always fun to see.

Maki Itoh wins via pinfall
2.5/5

Gringo Loco and Joey Janela v. Jordan Oliver and Blake Christian

This was a good tag match. Given who was in it what would you expect?

Gringo Loco and Joey Janela win via pinfall
2/5

Bussy v. Los Macizos

First off. How the fuck is Ciclope still walking after War Games? This match was okay and more on the comedy side but I get it. Like I said props to Ciclope for even doing this. He has to be injured still. 

Los Macizos win via pinfall
2/5

Rina Yamashita defends the GCW Ultraviolent Championship against Takayuki Ueki

This was a great match. I can't recall seeing a Ueki match yet but he was impressive here. We had a lot of use of barbed wire. Ueki had creative ways to use a cheese grater. This maniac Ueki also was doing double stomps onto a barbed wire board while barefoot. Rina made a slash onto the barbed wire with no care. This was great stuff.

Rina Yamashita retains via pinfall
4/5

Violento Jack v. John Wayne Murdoch

This was a great match. This is very easy to describe. Two Great death match wrestlers went in there and beat the shit out of each other and used a shit ton of tubes.

John Wayne Murdoch wins via pinfall
3.25/5

My Trip to GCW Fight Club 2023 Weekend.

 To commemorate my trip to the Death Match Mecca aka The Showboat in Atlantic City I wanted to do something a bit different and just let you guys hear about my trip.

In September when the War Games announced I had no intention of going. I had wanted to get out there since I started watching Death Match but I get bad social anxiety around a bunch of people I don't know, didn't think I would fit in at all and never had the money line up. But my dude Loren at Your Dose of Death Podcast basically told me I had to come out to this one and gave me the pricing of everything I figured out this time I can afford it and I decided just bring my vape to try to ignore the anxiety and I'll be fine, plus I may not get another chance to see Mr. Jun Kasai so why not. 

Friday

After getting on a flight from Chicago to Raleigh, another flight from Raleigh to Philly which got delayed because no one wanted to assist in case of emergency in the exit rows, I appreciate the honesty though. And a train from Philly to Atlantic City I was at the Showboat. The first night I ran into my boys Hugo and Maijin from Texas and there crew. got invited down to meet people and after a bit Loren introduced me to a lot of the crew and I instantly got treated like family and was wondering what the fuck was I so afraid of right then and there. Mittens, Joe, Benecio, TG all the people that were there I'm forgetting the names of because I'm an idiot(feel free to call me out on it) if you read this thanks for your hospitality. 

For real Fuck Southern Hospitality, Showboat Hospitality is where it's at.

Saturday

I woke up and got Breakfast at Oceans and after a nap got Wet Willie's for the first time which you should all believe the hype. For real if I lived in A.C. I would become an alcoholic off of these. Went and walked around the boardwalk and got amazing food from Tony Boloney's the went to the show which here is review 1)

Alec Price v. Tony Deppen

These were two of the best pure wrestlers GCW has on the roster doing what they do best and that's wrestling. This was the best Tony Deppen outing since his return from injury and I'm glad he found his stride again.

Alec Price wins via pinfall
4.25/5

Jack Cartwheel v. Jordan Oliver v. Jory janela v. Masha Slamovich

This was an okay match but by now we all know how I feel about scrambles by now and that's more or less what this was.

Joey Janela wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Charles Mason v. Richard Holiday
This match was okay. The story was Charles Mason paid off the ref which got the Ref a lot of heat. Richard Holiday was great here and I hope to see him get more opportunities at GCW.

Charles Mason wins via pinfall
2/5

Team Radrick v. SGCunt

This was good but very chaotic and hard to keep track of.

SGCunt wins via pinfall
3/5

Blake Christian defends the GCW Championship against Jimmy Lloyd.

This was a good match. Jimmy was the crowd favorite. And they did a screwy finish but it was to further Jimmy Lloyd's feud and let that son of a bitch Blake Christian keep his heat so I get it.

Blake Christian retains via pinfall
2.75/5

Team GCW v. Team Freedoms in War Games

So shout out to Loren from Your Dose of Death for convincing me to take a risk and come out to AC for this because holy shit. Takeda, Suiguira, Sasaki, Violento Jack, Jun Fucking Kasai, Rina, John Wayne Murdoch, Macizos, Nick Gage. It's a who's who of death match in this. We had glass and a lot of blood. Ciclope almost dies after being thrown off a scaffold and A Nick Gage and Jun Kasai face off. How the fuck can you not love this match? This was worth the trip alone.

Nick Gage was the soul survivor
5/5

After this I went back to my room and chilled a but then went to the after party. Then went back to my room and slept. 

Sunday

I was slightly hungover even though I did the majority of my drinking before the party so I went and got breakfast and headed to JCW. Where were at review 2)

Alec Price v. Manders

This was a great hard-hitting match to open the show. Manders is a real one for doing this match and then getting on a plane right after to go wrestle in Revolver.

Manders wins via pin
2.75/5

Brayden Toon v. Matt Makowski

This was a great match and these two guys beat the shit out of each other. It reminded me of an ROH-style match from 2006.

Matt Makowski wins via submission
3/5

Miracle Generation v. Wasted Youth

This match was good. Wasted Youth is a great tag team and keeps getting better. I don't know much about Miracle Generation but I liked what I saw here and I want more.

Wasted Youth wins via pinfall
2.5/5



CPA v. Beastman

This was a fun comedy match that was hindered by the finish. Beastman went up for a splash off of the middle rope and the rope broke. I'm glad CPA is okay because Beastman landed on his head, but that was scary.


Beastman wins via pinfall
1.5/5

Charlie Tiger v. Griffin McCoy

This was a good match. Griffin McCoy was good as a heel and I like this angle of him gaslighting the rest of YDNB and turning them against Jordan Oliver. Charlie Tiger showed great fire in this as well.

Griffin Mc Coy wins via pinfall
3/5

Jordan Oliver defends the JCW Championship against Tracy Williams

This was a good NJPW-style match. It got a little boring with all the chain wrestling at first but then once they picked it up and added strikes it got really good. Tracy Williams was great and hopefully, JCW keeps bringing him in.

Jordan Oliver retains via submission
3.5/5

After this I made a trip to White House subs and did another Wet Willie's run then went to the next show where we get review 3)

This was an okay match. Jack did his usual flip spots and Masha looked like a badass.

Shane Mercer v. Tony Deppen

This was a good match as well. We got the usual power spots from Shane Mercer and Tony Deppen kept his momentum from the night before and im glad we have full on dickhead Tony Deppen back.

Bussy and Rina Yamashita v. Charles Mason Blake Christian and Parrow

This match was supposed to be Bussy against Charles Mason and Blake Christian but there was so much bullshit going on in this Rina had to come out and this turned into a 6 person tag. This was a good match and Rina once again proved Death Match wrestkers can work as well.


Bussy and Rina Yamashita win via pinfall
2.75/5

East west v. Gahbage

This was an insanely good tag team match. Both teams were super athletic and could do some crazy shit. The way this was presented was this was a send off for Nick Wayne so Nick, if you read this. Not that youll need it but good luck in AEW. Beat Edge for me.


East west win via pinfall
4/5


Mance Warner v. Masashi Takeda

This match was insane! Mancer is no slouch but this may be the best match I've e ever  seen him in. We had a ton of glass and tubes used. And there was a spot where a table was lit on fire and Mance Warner was driven through it. I loved that i got a fire spot live.


Masashi Takeda wins via pinfall
5/5

Jun Kasai v. Matt Tremont

This was the match i was looking most forward to on this night. We had a ton of glass and tubes. There was a contraption with a door bridge and tubes on it that Jun Kasai got dropped off the ring apron onto. And to put the cherry on top of the weekend i got to see Jun Kasai do a Pearl Harbor splash off the top of a ladder.


Jun Kasai wins via pinfall
5/5



After this I made 1 last Wet Willie's run ate and went to the after party then went back to my room and slept for a bit. 

Monday 

I went home but even on my way back at the train station and airport I was meeting people from this amazing weekend. 

I can't wait to go back. See you at T.O.S weekend if not sooner

Colby Corino v. Low Life Louie in an Anything Goes Match

This was a great match. Colby has come into his own as a heel just like his dad. And where does Louie come up with some of the weapons he uses? A pool noodle with forks and barbed wire in it. Thats nuts. Other than that we had fire and chairs.

Colby Corino wins via pinfall
3.5/5

Jeff Cannonball v. Neil Diamond Cutter

This was a great match too. NDC has upped his game lately both in the ring and in the quality of his death matches. Jeff Cannonball did a sick spot with cinderblocks where he had NDC in the tree of woe, put a cinder block next to NDC's head, and threw the cinderblock.

Neil Diamond Cutter wins via pinfall
3.75/5
