Jack Cartwheel v. Griffin McCoy
We had a standard curtain jerker. There was nothing wrong with the people in it and the match was fine but nothing stuck to me either.
Jack Cartwheel won via pinfall
2.25/5
Tony Deppen v. Galleno Del Mal
This was intended to be a good wrestling match. I like that Tony Deppen was showcased as the great wrestler he is here, it's a shame the Rings didn't work for him. And Galleno looked good here as well doing good strikes. This was a good and solid wrestling match so it delivered on what it was supposed to.
Galleno Del Mal won via pinfall
2.5/5
Speedball Mike Bailey v. Zilla Fatu
This was set up to see how well Zilla can hang with one of the best wrestlers going right now. Speedball was great power usual but fucking Zilla again. This man can wrestle a straight match as well as fuck you up in a Death Match. This was an amazing match
3.75/5
Charles Mason v. Fuego Del Sol
Charles Mason has been targeting Fuego Del Sol for some reason. It did have the surprise of Richard Holliday sliding a chair to Fuego Del Sol and causing him the match and the Parrow and Holliday turning on Charles Mason and there was a weird angle with Charles Mason getting arrested for murder. Charles Mason is still very boring but he did stab Fuego in the head with scissors so that's cool. The match itself was okay but way too long so I wasn't too into it.
2.5/5
Alec Price v. John Wayne Murdoch
This was an unannounced match that's a clash of styles with Alec Price as a great wrestler and John Wayne Murdoch as a Death Match Wrestler. Alec Price was already a great wrestler and he has been stepping up his game lately. This man even did a Death Match spot by taking a bump through a pane of glass. John Wayne Murdoch even won with a straight wrestling hold. This was a good match for a clash of styles.
John Wayne Murdoch won via pinfall
2.75/5
Masha Slamovich defended the JCW Championship against Megan Bayne
I did not know about this match ahead of time but I'm glad it's happening. Honestly wrestling wise there wasn't much to this match and this was focused on the end where Steph DeLander came out and cost Megan Bayne the match.
Masha Slamovich retained via submission
2.25/5
Violence is Forever defended the GCW Tag Team Championship against Los Macizos
Even though Los Macizos are having problems can they coexist to win the Tag Titles? We had a nice start with the two teams brawling in the aisle, we even had a cool spot with Miedo Xtremo breaking a Storage Bin over Dominic Garrini's head but when Ciclope went for the Tag and Miedo left him so there was the turn. This was a nice short brawl but I'm not ready to see Los Macizos end.
Hot start
Miedo breaking plastic bins on Garrini
Miedo turns back on Ciclope
Violence is Forever retained via pinfall
2.5/5
Drew Parker, Big Fn Joe and Lou Nixon v. Matt Tremont, Brandon Kirk and Hoodfoot
6 of the best Death Match Wrestlers destroying each other let's fucking go! This was very chaotic as you would expect. Lou and Tremont are insane for going from King of the Kill to the Showboat overnight. That bump Tremont took off the Scaffold through the door stack was insane and Drew Parker doing the Swanton off the top of the Scaffold into the empty ring after coming off and nearly ending his career was nuts too. This delivered and I'm glad the UK guys got the shine here.
Matt Tremont, Brandon Kirk and Hoodfoot won via pinfall
3.25/5
Hunter Drake, Brayden Toon, Mr. Danger and Bobby Flaco v. Thrussy and Sawyer Wreck
This is probably just them trying something different other than a scramble. This was exactly that but it had Thrussy and Sawyer in it. This was a throwaway match but at least it wasn't a scramble.
Chrissy and Sawyer Wreck won via pinfall
1.75/5
Death Match Royalty v. Matt Hardy and Joey Janela
This is Matt Cardona's return from injury. Matt Cardona was great here but let's talk about Matt Hardy. This man was leg-dropping through tables off of ladders like it was 2001 and using Light Tubes. What the fuck was I watching? This was a very fun match and a great way to end the show.
Matt Hardy and Joey Janela won via pinfall
4/5
Overall
This show had a few moments like the Main Event, The UK v. USA 6 person, Macizos breaking up and Alec Price hopefully getting into Death Match but it was a lot of filler. This was not a complete waste but they've had better Showboat shows.
6/10
