GCW:Nick Gage Invitational 6


Atticus Cogar v. Rina Yamashita

This match was insane. Atticus and Rina used a lot of tubes but got creative with them. That Tube fan was ridiculous.

Atticus Cogar advances via pinfall
3.25/5

Charli Evans v. Kit Osborne v. Shlak

This was a really good match. Shlak is  cocaine bear. This man was bleeding out from his arm and then was still taking bumps through Barbed Wire Boards and panes of glass. Kit Osborne impressed me here as well through swinging Light tubes like he was Sammy Sosa back in the day and taking that bump through the gusset board like a champ. Why wasn't he on many shows I watched after this?

Charli Evans advances via pinfall
3/5

Akira v. Alex Colon

This was a good match. Got a bit repetitive with the tube shots but the knife board was cool.

Alex Colon wins via submission
2.75/5

Eric Ryan v. Masashi Takeda

This was very good. These two were bloody messes and beat the ever-living shit out of each other. That's all I ask.

Masashi Takeda advances via pinfall
4/5

Spyder Nate Webb v. Ninja Mack v. Yoya v. Cole Radrick v. ASF v. Brayden Lee v. Gringo Loco

There was a lot of athleticism displayed here but this was very sloppy.

Ninja Mack wins via pinfall
2/5

Charli Evans v. Alex Colon

This wasn't a bad match. But the only thing that stood out to me was the suplex through the glass. This was standard for what you would expect from these two.

Alex Colon advances via submission
2.5/5

Atticus Cogar v. Masashi Takeda

This was a great match. Takeda not selling the skewers was insane. Also, I forgot how good the 44OH function was at this time in GCW. I also loved the finish where Takeda drove Atticus Cogar through the bundle of tubes.

Masashi Takeda wins via pinfall
3.5/5

Alex Colon v. Masashi Takeda

What an amazing match. I forgot to mention that Takeda was defending the Ultraviolent Championship throughout the tournament. The cut colon got from going through that glass door bridge was gnarly but, the bandage he put out made him look like 2 Pac so I'm here for it. These two destroyed each other with tubes and the end when John Wayne Murdoch came out was a great moment.

Alex Colon wins the NGI and the Ultraviolent Championship via submission
4.5/5

GCW:Wrestle Cade 2023


 


Gahbage, Charlie Tiger, Manders and Shane Mercer v. Fuego Del Sol, Sam Stackhouse, Hunter Drake, Facade and Bobby Flaco

For this being a 10-man and hence being a complete clusterfuck this was pretty fun. Shane Mercer is a beast for lifting Sam Stackhouse like that.

Gahbage, Charlie Tiger, Manders, and Shane Mercer win via pinfall
2.5/5

Kylie Alexa v. Maki Itoh

I wasn't too into this. Maki was great but Kylie Alexa didn't do anything for me here.

Maki Itoh wins via pinfall
2/5

Speedball Mike Bailey v. Matt Cardona
This was a good match. They did a few tribute spots to Eddie Guerrero. And You got one of the best wrestlers going against one of the best heels going so that's always good.

Matt Cardona wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Jordan Oliver v. Masha Slamovich

This was a great wrestling match. This was built well and had strikes in the right places.

Jordan Oliver wins via submission
3/5

Santana Jackson v. Action Mike Jackson

This was a fun match and entertaining but not the best match. Both guys are good at what they do but this match wasn't for me.

Santana Jackson wins via pinfall
1.5/5

Kaleb Conley v. Richard Holliday

This wasn't great but this was designed to showcase Richard Holiday so it accomplished that.

Richard Holliday wins via pinfall
1.5/5

George South and The Mortons v. Insane Clown Bussy

This was a fun match. George South and Kerry Morton were great as heels and Violent J was impressive here as well.

Insane Clown Bussy won via pinfall
3/5

Blake Christian defends the GCW Championship against Billie Starkz

This was a great match. Billie has upped her game lately. She was never bad but lately, she has been taking it to another level. Blake is still progressing as a bigger and bigger shit head and I'm here for it.

Blake Christian retains via pinfall
3.5/5

Joey Janela v. Mance Warner

This was a good match and Mancer bled a lot but the only thing that hindered this was that the damn tables wouldn't break. Joey's neck broke more than those damn tables.

Joey Janela wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Circle 6: Highway to Hell 2023


 


Juicy Finau v. AJ Gray in a Barbed Wire Bundles Match

I enjoyed the match. It was a good hoss fight with tubes.

AJ Gray wins via pinfall
2.5/5

Tommy Vendetta v. Dale Patricks in a Pane Killer Match

This was okay. I like both participants in this match but this one got a little repetitive with the glass.

Dale Patricks wins via pinfall
2.5/5

Journey Fatu v. Remington Rhor

This was a good match. I liked how they fixed a botch when Remington Rhor was supposed to go through a pane of glass but it didn't break so Journey hit the glass with a chair. That's how you turn a negative into a positive. Journey did a sick Sabu spot when he dove out of the ring and put himself through a table.

Journey Fatu wins via pinfall
2.5/5

Drake Younger v. Aeroboy

This was a cool match. Drake put on a good performance here and that cut he had in his back was gnarly. There was a lot of glass and a lot of chaos.

Drake Younger wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Matthew Justice defends the Circle 6 Championship against Krule in a Last Man Standing Match

This match was crazy. Matthew Justice got chokeslammed through a double stack of tables. These two bludgeoned each other with chairs to the point I'm surprised both men don't have CTE. And Krule being buried under guard rails was the cherry on top.

Matthew Justice retains
4/5

ICW NHB 55


 



The Pillars v. K. O. B.K

This was pretty enjoyable and you don't see tags too often in the chains. You got regulars in Tommy Vendetta and 3 and Southern staples in Hardway and Sean Campbell so that's a recipe for a fun match.

The Pillars win via pinfall
2.75/5

Brett Ison v. Tank

This was a nice hoss fight. Both men were covered in blood and that's what I like to see.

Tank wins via pinfall
2.5/5

Krule v. Adam Priest

This match was good. Adam Priest came in writing a check his ass couldn't check. Adam Priest's mic work and heel tactics were great. Krule was a maniac in this and threw Priest around the ring like he was nothing.

Krule wins via referee stoppage
4/5

Danny Demanto v. Shiny Shoes

Danny Demanto issued an open challenge and Shiny Shoes Accepted. This match wasn't too good. Danny was a good heel and Shiny Shoes taking a gusset plate was fun but it wasn't for me.




Shiny Shoes wins via pinfall
2/5
The Rejects v. The Goons

The Goons came from the TWE School and worked their way from the ring crew to get their shot against an established tag team like The Rejects. This match was good. The Rejects were the Rejects and the Goons delivered. I mean that spot where the purple-haired Blair took the players to the head. Jesus Christ.

The Rejects win via pinfall
3.75/5

Matt Tremont v. Jaden Newman

Matt Tremont is still moving in his Resurrected Character. The match was good and I like this reboot of Matt Tremont but the finish with all the factions coming out was wonky and it took away from the match for me.
Matt Tremont wins via pinfall
2.25/5

Hoodfoot defends the American Death Match Championship against Dr. Redacted

Dr. Redacted is the best thing going right now and Hoodfoot is the champ that can't be beat. This was an amazing match. Both men were bleeding a lot and there was glass everywhere. This delivered.

Hoodfoot retains via pinfall
5/5


Saturday, November 25, 2023

GCW:Going and Going 2023



Alec Price v. Jordan Oliver

This was a good straight-up wrestling match. Two young guns doing what they do.

Jordan Oliver wins via pinfall
3.5/5

Nicole Matthews v. Maki Itoh

This was good. Maki has a strong connection with the crowd and Nicole Matthews is good and can hit hard, GCW needs to keep bringing her back.

Maki Itoh wins via pinfall
2.75/5


Violence is Forever defended the GCW Tag Team Championship against the Bollywood Boys and Second Gear Crew and Jimmy Lloyd and Sawyer Wreck

Well, the start of this was seemingly a clusterfuck but it made sense later. This ended up being a good and pretty brutal match.

Violence is Forever retained via pinfall
3/5

Los Desperados v. Aramis, Laredo Kid, and Rey Horus

Another trios match that was like a video game. Great shit.

Aramis, Laredo Kid, and Rey Horus win via pinfall
4/5

Matt Cardona v. Santana Jackson

This was okay. It's cool that the Cardona/Lloyd story continues but I'm losing interest in the Santana Jackson gimmick.

Santana Jackson wins via pinfall
2/5

Sovereign v. Thrussy

This was a good match. This was well wrestled and the Presence of Nick Gage put this one over the top.

Thrussy wins via pinfall
3.25/5

Blake Christian defends the GCW Championship against Shaft

This was good. I feel Shaft not coming out to that song is a missed opportunity. Oh well, he's still a bad mother shut your mouth. I'm learning the Pacific Northwest has some underrated talent from this show. Blake is still a shithead and still champ.

Blake Christian retains via pinfall
2.75/5

Speedball Mike Bailey v. Joey Janela

This was a great match but what else would you expect from two men who are at the top of their game right now?

Joey Janela wins via pinfall
4/5

ICW NHB: Pit Fighter X18


 


MM3 v. Dr. Redacted

These two pulled out all the stops and I'm a big fan of anything these guys do so I'm a fan of this.

Dr. Redacted wins via pinfall
3/5

Anakin Murphy v. Gary Jay

I enjoyed this.  That Anakin Murphy can take a whooping.

Gary Jay wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Tommy Vedetta v. Tank

This was pretty good. This was a brawl around the TWE Arena. And these two beat the shit out of each other.
Tank wins via pinfall
2.5/5

Shazza McKenzie v. Danny Demanto

This was a good match. Death Match Shazza is the best Shazza but my only complaint is this was too short.

Shazza McKenzie wins via pinfall
2.5/5

Isaiah Brohner v. Krule

This was okay. This was a hoss fight but not much substance to it.

Krule wins via pinfall
2/5

Sean Campbell v. John Wayne Murdoch

This match was insane. Sean Campbell takes a ridiculous amount of punishment and the spots with the gusset bats and the board of forks were insane.

John Wayne Murdoch wins via pinfall
4/5

Hardway Heeter v. Reed Bentley

This was a good match. They had an arena brawl where Hardway Heeter took a crazy bump on the Concrete and I'm surprised he didn't break his shoulder. Then these two smoked weed and beat each other's ass in the ring.

Reed Bentley wins via pinfall
2.5/5

Jaden Newman v. Matt Tremont

This was a good match. I dig the Unhinged Tremont character and Jaden Newman can do it all.

Matt Tremont wins via pinfall
2.75/5

IWA Mid-South: Breaking Balls 2003


 

Fun Fact: this is the building I had my 16th birthday party at and played Basketball as a kid.

Steve Stone v. Trik Davis

This was a decent match. Steve Stone was hitting hard in this match and Trik Davis was very athletic.

Steve Stone wins via pinfall
2/5

Matt Sydal v. Delirious

This was a great match. I've always heard how legendary the Sydal/Delirious feud was and if this match is any indication of how this feud is I'm looking forward to seeing more. What made this work was the crazy shit Sydal could do back then.

Matt Sydal wins via pinfall
3.25/5

Jamie Cox v. Corporal Robinson

I wasn't too into this match. Jamie Cox was boring. But after Necro Butcher stabbed Corporal Rubinson with scissors.

Corporal Robinson wins via pinfall
1/5

Mickie Knuckles v. Daizee Haze

This match was getting good but not given enough time. Luckily it wasn't long after this that we had the Volcano Girls tournament and Shimmer so these ladies could showcase their talent.

Mickie Knuckles wins via pinfall
2/5

Arik Cannon v. Nigel McGuinness

This was okay but a bit too much grappling for my liking. I know both men would go on to be great but they weren't there yet.

Nigel McGuinness wins via pinfall
2/5

BJ Whitmer v. Petey Williams

This was great. BJ Whitmer was a great heel and I forget about some of the athletic stuff Petey Williams could do and how ahead of his time he was.

BJ Whitmer wins via pinfall
3/5

Colt Cabana v. Chris Hero

This was a decent match. It was pretty technical but picked up the pace some towards the end.

Chris Hero wins via submission
2.25/5

Alex Shelley defends the WXW Heavyweight Championship against Jimmy Jacobs

This was an okay match. This was before both men really got to be the legends they became and you can see hints of it here but there still not there yet.

Alex Shelley retains via pinfall
2/5

Sanjay Dutt defends the IWA Mid South Light Heavyweight Championship against JC Bailey and Spyder Nate Webb in a TLC Match

This was a great match. Sanjay was entertaining even back then. And I haven't seen a lot of Spyder Nate Webb's old matches but he did some crazy stuff back then. I mean that flipping Van Terminator was insane.

JC Bailey wins the IWA Mid South Light Heavyweight Championship via pinfall
3.25/5

Danny Daniels, Ryan Boz, and Brad Bradley v. Balls Mahoney and Bad Breed

I didn't like this match because it took forever to start and Balls didn't hit anyone with a chair

Danny Daniels, Ryan Boz, and Brad Bradley win via pinfall
1/5







Tuesday, November 14, 2023

JCW:The Quick and the Dead 2023




Bang and Matthews v. Wasted Youth

This was a good match. Every time these two get in the ring together they elevate each other every time.

Wasted Youth wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Clark Connors v. Matt Makowski

This was a good hitting match. Very technical but not in a boring way.

Matt Makowski wins via pinfall
2.5/5

Man Like Dereiss v. Lee Moriarty


This wasn't too bad but this was very much the technical style I didn't like. They did a bit more than roll around on the mat and did some athletic stuff but too much mat rolling for me.

Lee Moriarty wins via submission
2.5/5

Yoya v. Ellis Taylor v. Brayden Toon v. Griffin McCoy v. Charlie Tiger v. Jimmy Lloyd


This was your average scramble but the story with Young Dumb and Broke splitting up was continued here.

Ellis Taylor wins via pinfall
2.5/5

The Rejects v. War Dogs

This was great because this looked and felt like a real fight.

War Dogs win via pinfall
3/5

Speedball Mike Bailey v. Billie Starkz

This was amazing. These two combatants beat the shit out of each other and this has got to be the best Billie Starkz match I've seen so far.

Speedball Mike Bailey wins via pinfall
4/5

Janai Kai v. Charles Mason

I wasn't too into this match. The only thing that stood out about this match was the heat Charles Mason was getting. 

Charles Mason wins via pinfall
2.25/5

Jordan Oliver defends the JCW Championship against Manders

This was a really good and straight-up hard-hitting wrestling match.

Jordan Oliver retains via submission
3.5/5

 

Thursday, November 9, 2023

CZW:Un'FnBelievable 2001


 

Nick Berk v. Z-Barr

This was okay. Nick Berk was decent but Z-Barr didn't do it for me.

Danny Rose and Jeff Rocker v. The Briscoes

This was okay. Still amazes me that the Briscoes were wrestling at 16 in CZW.

The Briscoes win via pinfall
1.75/5

Hurricane Kid v. Ruckus

I wasn't into this match but Ruckus as nig as he was back in the day could fly.

Ruckus wins via pinfall
1.25/5

Nick Gage and Nate Hatred v. VD
This was a good brawl around the arena. Still weird to me seeing The Dew with hair. He used to look like Favio.

Nick Gage and Nate Hatred win via pinfall
2/5

Trent Acid v. Reckless Youth v. Ric Blade

I liked this match.  All three men were ahead of their time, especially Trent Acid but it had to end on a countout.

No Contest
3/5

Justice Pain and Johnny Kashmere v. Sick Nick Mondo and Jun Kasai in a Fans Bring The Weapons Match

This was insanity! All four of these men beat the fuck out of each other with glass and anything that was not nailed down. Jun Kasai took a beating here and his back was all fucked up and he had a hole in his arm. This was amazing go check it out.

Jun Kasai and Sick Nick Mondo win via pinfall
4/5

Lobo defends the Iron Man Championship against Mad Man Pondo in a Barbed Wire Ladder Match

This was good. These two took some dangerous spots off the ladder into the barbed wire, as expected. Looks like Lobo messed up his knee when Pondo dove as well. But this was a war and fun to watch.

Lobo retains
3/5




Tuesday, November 7, 2023

GCW:Si Or No? 2023


 

Hunter Drake v. Brayden Toon v. Rico Gonzalez v. Mr. Danger v. Alec Price v. Man Like Deriess

For some reason, Atlanta scrambles always hit differently. I don't know if a lot of the hidden gem talent is there or if there's something in the air but this was good and I usually don't like scrambles. Dereiss lifting Toon are you kidding me? And Speaking of Brayden Toon I hope he's ok after that dive over the fence. His leg looked bad.


Alec Price wins via pinfall
3/5

Charles Mason v. Mike Jackson

This match wasn't great. Although Mike Jackson was fun to watch Charles Mason again didn't do it for me.

Charles Mason wins via submission
1.5/5

Maki Death Bussy v. Young Dumb and Bros

This was a good match. This is the best I've seen Allie wrestle in a while. Maki was super over with this crowd. And Jordan Oliver keeps stepping his game up.

Maki Death Bussy won via pinfall
3/5

Brogan Finlay v. Tony Deppen

This was a hard-hitting match. I just wish it was a bit longer.

Tony Deppen wins via pinfall
2.25/5

Steph DeLander v. Jimmy Lloyd

The match itself was just okay but this was more about furthering the Cardona/Lloyd story. Those choke slams on the chairs looked brutal though.

Steph DeLander wins via pinfall
2.5/5

War Dogs v. Second Gear Crew

This match was good until the interference.  Before Jacob Fatu interrupted the match it was a stiff-ass one that reminded me of the Miracle Violence/Steiners matches.

War Dogs win via pinfall
2.5/5

Speedball Mike Bailey v. Santana Jackson

I enjoyed this. Speedball keeps proving how he can get a good match out of anyone.

Santana Jackson wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Blake Christian defends the GCW Championship against Tank

This was a good match. This was your cat v. Mouse story here but it's always cool to see Tank in GCW.

Blake Christian retains via pinfall
2.5/5

Gringo Loco v. Masha Slamovich

This was a great hard-hitting march. And who knew Masha could keep up with a Lucha-style

Masha Slamovich wins via pinfall
3/5

Los Macizos defend the GCW Tag Team Championship against Violence Is Forever

This match was insane. Both Violence is Forever were bleeding and in the case of Dominic Garrini, profusely. The finish was crazy with Kevin Ku wrapping the chain around his boot, Violence Is Forever doing the Chasing the Dragon, and Ciclope getting put through a pane of glass, i often speak ill of Violence is Forever but they impressed me here tonight.

Violence is Forever won the GCW Tag Team Championship
3.5/5

Jacob Fatu v. Joey Janela

This was a good match. Jacob Fatu never ceases to amaze me with his athleticism. And all the interference played into this match here.  So I don't think we've seen the last of Joey/Jacob Fatu.

Joey Janela wins via pinfall
2.75/5






Monday, November 6, 2023

GCW:Please,Buddy 2023


 


Blake Christian defends the GCW Championship against War Horse

This was a pretty good match. I wasn't the biggest fan of War Horse before, but after seeing this match I want to pay closer attention to him. Blake being a shithead still rules and he stabs people with a screwdriver now to cheat.

Blake Christian retains via pinfall
3.25/5


Man Like Deiress v. Alec Price v. Jordan Oliver

This was a pretty good match. All three men got to showcase their athleticism here and Alec Price stood out here as the MVP of this match and on his birthday. 

Jordan Oliver wins via pinfall
3/5

Bang and Matthews v. War Dogs

This was an okay match. Alex Coglin is good but Gabriel Kidd doesn't do anything for me. Bang and Matthews looked good though.

War Dogs win via pinfall
2/5

Shazza McKenzie v. Maki Itoh

This was good. I love the way Maki is locking in that cloverleaf lately.

Maki Itoh wins via submission
2.25/5

Gringo Loco v. Speedball Mike Bailey

This match was great. We had hard-hitting action and great high-flying as well.

Gringo Loco wins via pinfall
3.5/5

Violence Is Forever v. Bussy

This was an okay match. Even though they're growing on me I'm still not sold on Violence is Forever.

Violence Is Forever wins via pinfall
2/5

Santana Jackson v. Dan The Dad

This was very entertaining. It was very much a comedy match but both wrestlers are good at what they do.

Santana Jackson wins via pinfall
2.75/5

KLD v. Brayden Toon v. Bobby Flaco v. Adrian Alanis v. Jefferey John v. Tony Deppen

I crack on scramble matches but they hadn't had one in a bit so I'll save that for another time.  Tony Deppen was his dickhead self. Brayden Toon is 300 lbs and can do a shooting star. KLD was impressive

Tony Deppen wins via pinfall
2.5/5

Masha Slamovich v. Joey Janela

This match started slow but once it kicked up and both wrestlers beat the shit out of each other.

Masha Slamovich wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Deathmatch Royalty v. Charli Evans and Everett Connors

This was just an okay match but this was more about Matt Cardona's promo work and him furthering the story with Jimmy Lloyd.

Death Match Royalty wins via pinfall
2.5/5

Jimmy Lloyd and Los Macizos v. Second Gear Rejects

This was what this match should have been. Crazy, and chaotic. Loved Lloyd and Macizos stabbing people and I always love to see a pane of glass.

Jimmy Lloyd and Los Macizos win via pinfall
3/5

Friday, November 3, 2023

IWTV:The Death of....


 


This was what I thought it would be. I liked the cinematics of this and it looks to me as if the Krule v. Kirks feud continues. The match itself was what it should be and I got to listen to Bury Your Dead so I'm happy. And the Botchy Boys got a film credit so it's a great day to be alive.

Krule wins via Killing Matt Tremont
3.5/5

Thursday, November 2, 2023

GCW:Run Rickey Run 2020


 

Blake Christian v. Treehouse Lee v. Cole Radrick v. JJ Garrett v. Jonathan Wolf v. KTB

This was a pretty good scramble. It served its purpose of showcasing everyone. 

Blake Christian wins via pinfall
2.5/5


Jimmy Lloyd v. Chris Dickinson

This was a good match. Dickinson is a great striker and Jimmy Lloyd was great at keeping up with him which proves how good Jimmy Lloyd is.

Chris Dickinson wins via submission
2.5/5

Effy v. Tony Deppen

This was a good match. I can see the beginnings of the phenomenon Effy would become here and Tony Deppen's in-ring work at this time was top-tier.

Tony Deppen wins via pinfall
3/5


Jordan Oliver v. Joey Janela

I enjoyed this match. This was before both men were at the level they at now. Jordan Oliver looked a bit sloppy here but to see what he turned into you can see even then the potential he had. And Joey Janela was good back then but soon after this he would kick it up a notch and be at the level he is now.

Joey Janela wins via pinfall
3/5

Alex Colon v. Takashi Sasaki

This was a good match. These two beat the shit out of each other.

Takashi Sasaki wins via pinfall
2.75/5

Matthew Justice v. Matt Tremont

This match was insane. Justice ripped a giant gash open on Tremont's elbow. And Matthew Justice did a Van Daminator that would give Mr. Monday Night a run for his money on a door. Tremont bled buckets and this was just great stuff.

Matthew Justice wins via pinfall
3.25/5

Shlak v. Danny Havoc
This was so fucking good! I love Shlak but onto Danny Havoc. This guy was a master at putting together spots in Death Matches and one of the reasons I started this project of Throwback Thursday was to watch people like him that I hadn't seen much of. I mean that spot to the outside onto the barbed wire door with the glass pane across the top was ridiculous and Danny Havoc took 2 dangerous power bombs onto tubes. This was amazing. 

Shlak wins via pinfall
4.5/5

Mance Warner v. Allie Kat

This was good. This appears to be the breakout performance of Allie Katch. And this was a very bloody match.

Allie Kat wins via pinfall
3.25/5

Ricky Shane Page defends the GCW Championship against Nick Gage

To me the match itself was good but this crowd made it great. The crowd was invested in everything Gage and RSP did and when Eric Ryan joined 44OH and RSP retained these people lost their minds. This is the match that made the Showboat the mecca for deathmatch wrestling.

Ricky Shane Page retains via pinfall
5/5

Spooky Dust: Famous Monsters of Death Match 2023


 


I know all of these are cinematic matches going into this but the work these two put into their podcast and promoting this show deserves some notoriety so that's why I'm reviewing this.

CJ Lawler v. Killbilly Nathan Mowery in a Blue October Death Match

This was a fun backwoods fight and I'm surprised that the rusted-out bus held up with those two on it.

Killbilly Nathan Mowery wins by putting his opponent through a flaming table
1.5/5

JJ Escobar v. Tarzan Duran in a Ghetto Freakshow Death Match

This was insane.  I lived in the West Side of Chicago for 5 years so I knew the ghetto and this was a real ghetto. It took place in an abandoned Warehouse and JJ Escobar took a ridiculous amount of punishment. He had a nasty gash in his arm. And he almost got his arm sawed off. I also like how Tarzan wrestled with a blunt in his mouth.

Tarzan Duran wins via pinfall
4/5

Sean Lawhorn v. Alex Stretch in a Blair Witch Death Match

I wasn't too into this match. It was just two guys fighting in the woods so it didn't do it for me.

Sean Lawhorn wins via pinfall
0.75/5

Vixsin defends the DMDU Championship against Joel Bateman and Mad Dog in a Destroy All Monsters Death Match

This was a good match. It was more or less an empty arena match but still very violent. The end with Vixsin jamming a gusset plate into Joel Bateman's head and dumping salt on him was crazy.

Vixsin retains via submission
2.5/5

That Kyle v. Hardcore in an Electric Frankenstein Match

This was very entertaining. All 3 men played their part well. Especially at the end where v everyone got electrocuted, that was hilarious.

Hardcore wins via electrocution
2.75/5

Chuck Stein v. Remington Rhor in an Eloise Asylum Death Match

This was great because it looked like a horror movie. These guys beat the shit out of each other and made each other bleed heavily with glass. And each scene where they changed rooms got my heart pumping. Mission accomplished with this one Spooky Dust.

Remington Rhor wins via pinfall
4.25/5





GCW: Dream On 2025

  Lucky 13 came out and insulted the crowd, then Hacksaw Jim Duggan came out and insulted Lucky 13. Ray Jaz came out and attacked Lucky 13. ...
