GCW:Rather You Than Me 2024


At the beginning of the show, it was announced Matt Cardona was the GM of GCW

Jimmy Lloyd v. Megan Bayne

Megan Bayne was great and I look forward to seeing more of her.

Megan Bayne wins via pinfall
3/5

Eli Knight v. Mr. Danger

This was a good flying match and I would like to see more Eli Knight. 

Mr. Danger wins via pinfall
2.25/5

Los Desperados v. Jack Cartwheel and Gahbage Daddies 

Another great GCW Lucha Trio.

Jack Cartwheel and Gahbage Daddies win via pinfall
3/5

Jordan Oliver v. Timothy Thatcher

When I saw this on paper I thought it was gonna be a match along the lines of that pure wrestling crap ROH does, however, this was a good hard-hitting match and Timothy Thatcher brought it here. 

Jordan Oliver won via pinfall
2.75/5

Zilla Fatu v. John Wayne Murdoch

This match was good. It was as ignorant as you can get without it being a Death Match. Also, Zilla Fatu was great here and he will be fine without Jacob Fatu as a main event player.

Zilla Fatu won via pinfall
3/5

Alex Zayne v. Microman

This was a fun match. There was some comedy with Microman but a lot of good lucha spots too.

After the match Parrow came out and attacked Microman and Nick Gage came out to make the save

Violence is Forever defended the GCW Tag Team Championship against Bob 'N Go v. Mane Event v. Hunter Drake and Rico Gonzalez 

This match was what it was designed to be. A spot fest to showcase VIF

Violence is Forever retained via pinfall
2/5


Miyu Yamashita v. Joey Janela

This started slow for my liking but then turned into a pretty good Japanese-style match. 

Joey Janela wins via pinfall 
2.75/5



Effy v. Mance Warner in a Last Man Standing Match 

This was a great match where Mance Warner was laying in a pool of blood but the fucking match got stopped when Effy poured gas on Mancer.

No Contest 
2.75/5

Blake Christian defended the GCW Championship against Danhausen 

This was a good match. Both people were entertaining and the Dusty finish with Danhausen beating Blake Christian then GM Matt Cardona restarting it was a nice touch.

Blake Christian retained via pinfall 
2.75/5

Overall

Pretty nice show, I like where the Matt Cardona GM story is going and there wasn't a bad match on the show. 

7.5/10
