ICW NHB 1

 

Tessa Blanchard v. Nick Gage

What a way to start off the ICW NHB Promotion. This wasn't much of a Death Match but, rather a good wrestling match. The only thing that took away from it was the sudden finish of Nick Gage getting his shoulder up before the three. 

Tessa Blanchard wins via pinfall

2.75/5

Casanova Valentine v. Homicide

This was a great match. This was the Homicide I like to see, the version I saw on ROH comps. Pouring bleach on Casanova then stabbing him with a fork, good lord.  

Homicide wins via referee stoppage 

3/5

Alex Colon v. Jimmy Lloyd 

This was decent. There was a lot of barbed wire used which I like. 

Alex Colon wins via pinfall 

2.75/5

John Wayne Murdoch v. Eric Ryan

This was great. These two can't have a bad Death Match now and even back then they couldn't. I mean that spot where the Razor Board was dropped on Eric Ryan was ridiculous. 

Eric Ryan wins via referee stoppage

3.5/5

Tony Deppen v. Killer Kross

I wasn't too into this but I'm not a Kross fan so that makes sense I wouldn't like this.

Killer Kross wins via submission 

1/5

Shlak v. Necro Butcher

This was awesome. Necro showed why he is a legend. Even though this was around the time he was sick he was still hitting hard as fuck and bled like crazy. 

Shlak wins via pinfall

3/5

Mance Warner v. Dan Maff

I enjoyed this match. Goddamn can Dan Naff hit hard.  

Dan Maff wins via pinfall

2.75/5

Masashi Takeda v. Low-Ki

This was a good match but the ref stoppage at the end was unnecessary. Takeda went toe to toe with a legend like Low-Ki and did without weapons. Who said death match his can't work again?

Low-Ki wins via referee stoppage

2.75/5

Overall

Great first show for ICW NHB. it accomplished what they wanted it to and had an all timer with Eric Ryan v. John Wayne Murdoch.
