ICW NHB 64

 

The Pillars v. British Top Team

We had a Tag Match to start things off. This was more of a Hardcore match and I feel that's being generous, but all 4 athletes in this match showed that they could go somewhere the match was good.

The Pillars won via pinfall

2.5/5

Leonardo Darwin defended the Rise Championship against Kody Manhorn 

This was a surprise defense for Leonardo Darwin.  Leonardo Darwin was great at shit-talking the crowd and getting great before the match.  Kody Manhorn also got to show how good of a wrestler he is and this was a cool win for him. The match was good but nothing too crazy. However, somehow the match got restarted and that was lame and killed the momentum of the match.

Leonardo Darwin retained via pinfall

2.5/5

Dr. Redacted v. Otis Cogar v. Jack Harrop v. Alex Stretch

Micheal Caden was supposed to be in this match but had travel issues. I love that Alex Stretch got an opportunity in ICW NHB. These guys took out Otis Cogar early by ganging up on him with tubes and Thumbtack bats. Otis ended up getting everyone back with a dive that looked like a falling bus. Alex Stretch took a hellacious bump when he got slammed by Jack Harrop through a barbed wire-wrapped Ironing board. Alex Stretch also got bludgeoned by CTE shots by Otis and Jack Harrop and was laughing. This was great and all 4 wrestlers killed it.

Dr. Redacted won via pinfall

3.25/5

Big Fn Joe v. Danny Demanto 

We got the boss versus one of the best in the world. Joe took a gusset in the balls. Danny Demanto took a Jung Woo Drop Kick into a door that didn't break and hit his head so the finish was rushed. This was a good brawl until the finish but it's understandable, a wrestler's health is more important than a good finish. 

Big Fn Joe won via pinfall

2.75/5

BA Rose v. Hoodfoot 

On paper, this was one of the more evenly matched battles on this card. This is what it should have been a U.S. versus U.K. hoss fight. I enjoyed this and BA Rose is having a great Faces of Death weekend. 

Hoodfoot won via pinfall

2.75/5

Lou Nixon v. Bobby Beverly 

Another match featuring 2 of the best going right now. Also how badass is Lou Nixon doing 2 matches in 1 show? These two beat the shit out of each other like they should have.  I enjoyed this and wouldn't mind them running this back. 

Bobby Beverly won via pinfall

3/5

Tank v. Iceman

Behemoth Legend fight time. To be honest this was slow for me. I get it these guys are legends and I am a fan of them but this still wasn't for me. 

2/5

Atticus Cogar defended the American Death Match Championship against Matt Tremont 

This was Atticus's first defense of the title against the man he beat for it, Matt Tremont.  Atticus stabbed the skewers into Tremont's hand. The Death Valley driver Tremont gave Cogar onto the chair was ridiculous. Tremont was chokeslammed onto a bed of nails and kicked out. But due to the interference of 44OH Yellow and the H2O team Atticus was able to distract Tremont for the pin. This was a great match and I like this Atticus story of him holding the belt hostage.

Atticus Cogar retained via pinfall

3.5/5

Overall 

This was a strong comeback for ICW, we had a lot of solid matches on this, the Atticus/Tremont match was phenomenal and so is the storytelling with Atticus holding the title hostage I'm excited to see what the future holds for ICW NHB.
