Kumite: Beef 2024

 

David Grant v. Dante Durden

This was a weird match. Dante Durden sold being burnt by s cigarette too early and this was just too indierific for me.

David Grant won via pinfall

1/5

Harley Harris v. Luke Douglas 

This match was pretty decent for a straight wrestling match and I see potential for both wrestlers to be bigger on the UK scene sooner rather than later.

Luke Douglas won via pinfall 

1.5/5

Joseph Cardinal v. Roarke

We had an average Big Guy versus Little Guy match with nothing that stood out. 

Joseph Cardinal won via pinfall

2/5

British Top Team v. Franco Fate and Blue She 

This was a fun tag. Blue She is super over as a baby face and Lou Nixon is a killer in the ring.

Franco Fate and Blue She won via 

2/5

Clint Margera v. Big Fn Joe 

I liked this because not only did they smash each other into oblivion with light tubes but, these two showed that they can legit wrestle too. This is why Clint Margera and Big Fn' Joe are two of Europe's best. 

Clint Margera won via pinfall 

3.25/5

Tommbie v. Antonio Gonzalez

This was a cool match from two people I know little to nothing about. This was my first time seeing Antonio Gonzalez and this guy can hold his own in a Death Match and can strike pretty hard. Tommbie bled buckets and seems to be a legit Death Match Wrestler. I'll keep being on the lookout for both. 

Tommbie won via pinfall

3/5

B.A. Rose v. Alton Thorne 

This was a nice hoss fight. Did you see B.A. Rose do the pele kick? That's athleticism.

Alton Thorne won via pinfall

2/5

Jack Bennett v. Tim Strange 

The only shame in this match was the flaming cowbell spot. Tim Strange lit a cowbell on fire, which didn't stay lit and Jack Bennett went down too early. This was still a fun match though. And Jack Bennett stabbing Tim Strange with all those syringes was pretty uncomfortable but cool to watch at the same time. 

Jack Bennett won via pinfall

3.25/5

Danny Darko defended the Kumite World Heavyweight Championship against Michael Caden 

This was a nice hard-hitting match to end the show. That lariat Darko gives with the tubes is great. 

Danny Darko retained via pinfall

3/5

Overall

This company is growing at a great pace and gives me Progress vibes from 2014-2018. Kind of so-so undercard but the main events of this show more than made up for it. I'm excited to see what Kumite puts out as they continue to grow.  

6.5/10
