GCW: The Aftermath 2023

 

Violence is Forever defends the GCW Tag Team Championship against  Wasted Youth

This was a good match and it was cool to see Austin Luke in a GCW ring. VIF has grown on me and I'm liking this title run.

Violence is Forever retained via submission
2.75/5

Lio Rush v. Cole Radrick

Considering the injury to Cole Radrick earlier this match was okay. This moved kind of slowly for me but understandable.

Lio Rush wins via pinfall
2/5

Joey Janela defends the Extreme Championship against Emersyn Jayne

This was a great match. I think the world of Joey and Emersyn had a breakout performance in the NGI. These two went hard and in the end, Emersyn Jane got a please come back chant, and rightfully so.

Joey Janela retains via pinfall
3.5/5

Violento Jack v. Speedball Mike Bailey

This was an interesting mix of styles but it worked. Violento Jack showed the world that he is more than a Death Match wrestler.


Speedball Mike Bailey wins via pinfall
3.5/5

Charli Evans v. Risa Sera

This was a great match. Good to see Charli back in a GCW ring and Risa impressed me this weekend. Tubes, blood, and violence. What more could you want?

Charli Evans wins via pinfall
3.75/5

Daiku Wakamatsu v. John Wayne Murdoch

This was so fucking good. The airport robbed us of Wakamatsu in the NGI and I hate them for that. Wakamatsu can jump so high and I want to see more of him. JWM is a modern-day legend so add all the violence to this and that is the recipe for a great match.

John Wayne Murdoch wins via submission
4/5

Blake Christian defends the GCW Championship against Miedo Extremo

This was a good match. The story of this was the newfound alliance of Shane Mercer and Blake Christian against Los Macizos. And man you gotta see the kind of heat Blake gets at Showboat live.


Blake Christian retains via pinfall
2.75/5

Do or Die Rumble

This was a typical Royal Rumble-style match. The end played with people's emotions as we thought Effy won but then Mance Warner came out and gave Effy the title shot and took it for himself.

Mance Warner wins the Do or Die Rumble
2.25/5

Jun Kasai v. Nick Gage

This was great and there is no other way I would have rung in the New Year than seeing this match. Both men went hard as fuck. We got glass, tubes, blood, skewers, and a Dream Match. What a way to start 2024

Jun Kasai wins via pinfall
5/5
