H2O: Take Off 2025

 

Matt Tremont defended the DMDU World Death Match Championship against Gabriel Skye in a Stairway To Hell Match

Gabriel Skye started off strong with a tope. A vicious chair shot and jammed a gusset plate into Matt Tremont's head. Tremont got Gabriel Skye back by Sabuing him with a chair and throwing Skye through a ladder. Matt Tremont gave Gabriel Skye a powerbomb off of a ladder. Matt Tremont gave Gabriel Skye a Death Valley driver off of the ladder through a door in the corner. This was a great match, and from this and some no-ring stuff I've seen, Gabriel Skye has been impressing me, and I hope to see him continue to tear it up on more stuff I watch. 

Matt Tremont retained

3.5/5

Cecilio Vega defended the Hybrid Championship against Wayne Mohsi, GG Everson, Andy Otimal, Franky Hendrix and Leroy Robinson 

I'm not a fan of scrambles, but this had some cool athletic spots, and it was short. But it's still a scramble.

Leroy Robinson won the Hybrid Championship via pinfall 

1/5

Louie Jr. V. Low Life Louie Ramos 

We got a father versus son match. These two exchanged shots with pans on the outside of the ring. Louie Jr. Used a paddleboard with knives on Low Life Louie and then proceeded to stab his father with the knives. Low Life Louie used a spike on Louie Jr. Louie Jr. Slammed Low Life Louie onto a Four Loko can board. Louie Jr. Drove needles into Low Life Louie's head. These two exchanged shots with computer screens. This was a great vicious and bloody match, and it was great seeing both men have fun doing it because, as you can imagine,e, this meant a lot to both men, and this was a nice hallmark moment.

Louie Jr. Won via pinfall 

3.25/5

Snack Pack (JB Anderson and Jess Moss) v. The Extricated (Mouse and Bam Sullivan)

Shout out to Jess Moss in the Stout shirt. This was a sample of the Ultraviolent Kingdom tournament. Jess Moss hit Mouse with a pizza paddle. JB Anderson put a gusset in Mouse. JB Anderson used a boxing glove with Thumbtacks on it on Bam Sullivan. Mouse hit JB Anderson with a Nintendo and then DDT'd him on said Nintendo. This was a pretty fun match, and if this is a taste of the Ultraviolent Kingdom, I can't wait for the tournament.

The Extricated won via pinfall 

3.5/5

Jimmy Chondo Lyon. Toby Farley in an Anything Goes Match 

After some good Hardcore wrestling and interference from Marc Angel Toby Farley gave Chondo a suplex onto chairs. Chondo gave Toby Farley a DDT off the middle rope onto a chair. Toby Farley gave Chondo a spine buster through 2 chairs. And Toby Farley finished the match off with a Rocket Kick. This was a simple match that was decent and only really used one weapon and that was a chair.

Toby Farley won via pinfall 

2.75/5

Neil Diamond Cutter defended the Danny Havoc Hardcore Championship against Anthraxx, Braxx, and Alex Stretch 

This was a fatal four-way match for the Danny Havoc Hardcore Championship. Anthraxx, Stretch and NDC bulldogged Braxx through a door. Braxx slammed Neil Diamond Cutter onto Thumbtacks. Alex Stretch carved Braxx with a knife and then stabbed Antraxx with the same knife. Neil Diamond Cutter went nuts with skewers on everyone. Antraxx gave Alex Stretch a shot in the head with a chair. Neil Diamond Cutter broke a cinderblock over Alex Stretch. Neil Diamond Cutter put skewers into Braxx then hit him with a chair. Alex Stretch slammed Neil Diamond Cutter onto a board with cans on it. Braxx beat Alex Stretch over the head with a door. Neil Diamond Cutter finished the match with a dive onto a barbed wire board. This was an amazing match and was what it wanted out of a Deathmatch. Pure chaos and pure violence.  

Neil Diamond Cutter retained via pinfall 

5/5

Deklan Grant defended the H2O Championship against Kody Manhorn 

Kody Manhorn came in like a wrecking ball with a headbutt and even had the crowd chopping Deklan Grant. Deklan Grant got some offense and screamed at Emil Jay mid-match. Kody Manhorn hit the rings, but Austin Luke distracted the referee. You break it up. Deklan Grant got Kody Manhorn with the cross face. This was a good, fast-paced wrestling match. I enjoyed it, and it was a good palette cleanser from the previous classic Hardcore match.

Deklan Grant retained via submission 

2.75/5

After the match, Austin Luke booted Ginger Mittens and Matt Tremony, and the H2O locker room emptied out. Tremont told Grant and Luke that they would take on Low Life Louie and Homicide on February 22nd.

Overall

This was one of the better H20 shows I've seen. Every match on the show, minus the scramble, was good to great. Tremont continues to put out a great product in 2025 and we had a moty Contender in the 4 way for the Danny Havoc title.
