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
