Rise Underground: Embrace The Chaos 2024


 


Brett Semtex defended the Rise Underground Championship against Saxton Huxley 


This was a good wrestling match and I see an upside in Brett Semtex, in a way he reminded me of Kurt Angle. 


Brett Semtex retained via pinfall

2.75/5


Iceman v. Isaac North


This was just a brawl with no finish, Iceman deserves better.


No Contest

0.75/5


Nathan Black v. Will Cruz


I liked Will Cruz here and was impressed by what he can do for a guy his size and how much charisma he has. However the interference at the end with the guy Kemper I'm not familiar with took away from this decent match.


Nathan Black won via pinfall

1.75/5


Dara Diablo v. Jack Harrop


This was a lot of fun. Both men were bleeding and stabbing each other with anything and everything. We got the use of the infamous Skinny Tube. I liked them brawling outside and I feel Dara Diablo's pain on not being able to move that recycling bin, that happens to me at work all the time. Plus we got Iceman and Issac North coming back and finishing their brawl from earlier. This was straight out of an Episode of Hardcore TV in 95.


Dara Diablo won via pinfall

3/5


Lou Nixon defended the Rise Underground European Death Match Championship against Drew Parker 


There was no ring rust on Drew Parker. After returning from retirement this guy tore it the fuck up. We got the dart through-the-mouth spot on Lou Nixon and speaking of the darts Drew Parker put a little extra power on those when he threw them into Nixon's back. It's like Parker never left.


Lou Nixon retained via submission 

4.75/5


Jack Hackenbeard v. Tim Strange


This was just a pure comedy match and it served its purpose of letting everyone up before the main events.  

Time Strange won via Disqualification 

0.5/5


Emersyn Jane v. Jack Bennett 


This was a certified banger. Both went hard and showed people what UK Death Match is about. That spot where Jack Bennett does a Swanton onto a Tote always ceases to amaze me but this time it was wrapped in Barbed Wire. Emersyn Jane also got really good in the ring. Her Death Matches are always good but her actual wrestling ability was on point here as well. 


Emersyn Jane won via pinfall

4.25/5


Big Fn Joe v. Boy Wonder v. B.A. Rose v. Michael Caden v. Leonardo Darwin 


This was a pretty standard TLC match. A bunch of crazy bumps and people falling off ladders, but it was okay.


Leonardo Darwin won

2.5/5


Overall


This was a pretty solid show. We got a nice wrestling match to start the show and 3 very solid Death Matches. Drew Parker returning was the highlight for me and the main was fun but average. 


7.5/5
