GCW:Ashes To Ashes 2025

 

Terry Yaki v. Bobby Flacco v. Hunter Drake v. Jay Lucas v. Jack Cartwheel v. Jimmy Lloyd 

We started with a scramble. It was a typical scramble with many high spots and wrestling things.

Jimmy Lloyd won via pinfall

3/5

Zayda Steel v. Tony Deppen 

This was an okay wrestling match. Zayda Steel has potential and Tony Deppen is one of the best unsigned wrestlers right now. This wasn't bad. 

Tony Deppen won via pinfall 

2.5/5

Garbage Daddies (Cole Radrick and Alec Price)defended the GCW Tag Team Championship against Legion of Rot (Frightmare and Hallowicked) 

Gahbage Daddies defended the titles against 2 chikara legends. This was a good wrestling match mixed with some good comedy spots especially Perch scaring the Legion of Rot. I enjoyed this one.

Gahbage Daddies retained via pinfall 

2.75/5

Violence is Forever v. Matt Tremont and Ciclope 

Matt Tremont started off by stabbing Kevin Ku in the head with a fork after VIF came out and attacked Gahbage Daddies. Ciclope speared Kevin Ku through a door. Ciclope did a splash off a high ladder onto Kevin Ku who was on a door bridge below. This match ended abruptly with Gagbage Daddies coming out to Attack violence is Forever. The match was a good and very bloody match but the finish killed it. 

No Contest 

2.5/5

Charles Mason v. Gringo Loco 

Charles Mason put Gringo Loco through a table. Other than that, this was a straightforward wrestling match. It was okay.

Gringo Loco won via pinfall

2/5

Atticus Cogar v. Fuego Del Sol 

This was a well-wrestled match by both men, and the only death match-type stuff done were a few chair spots and Atticus using the skewers. Other than that, it was a fast-paced indie match. I enjoyed this.

Fuego Del Sol won via pinfall 

3/5

Effy defended the GCW Championship against Slade

Effy and Slade had a chair-throwing exchange. Slade busted a tube over Effy. Effy stabbed Slade with the end of a tube. Effy finished the match with a Death Valley driver through a barbed wire door in the corner. This was a great match and a good way to start the Ultraviolent festivities in AC this weekend.

Effy retained via pinfall 

3/5

Hoodfoot v. Dr. Redacted in a Tournament of Survival Qualifying Match

A TOS spot was on the line here. Hoddfoot gave Redacted a bulldog onto some chairs that were stood up sideways. These two busted tubes over each other. Hoodfoot put Redacted through a barbed wire board. These two used an Ironing board on each other. These two broke tubes over each other. Hoodfoot gave Redacted a brainbuster through a pane of glass. Redacted finished this off with a splash onto a garbage can. This was a very good match.

Dr. Redacted qualified for the Tournament of Survival via pinfall 

4.25/5

Mr. Danger v. John Wayne Murdoch 

Mr. Danger dove with a tube bundle. John Wayne Murdoch used a gusset ping pong paddle on Mr. Danger. Mr. Danger got blasted with tubes by John Wayne Murdoch. Mr. Danger got back body dropped outside of the ring, and went through a table covered in tubes. John Wayne Murdoch used a weedwhacker on Mr. Danger. Mr. Danger did a Swanton off of a lift. Mr. Danger jumped off the lift again and did a coast-to-coast to Murdoch with a pane of glass stood up in the corner. John Wayne Murdoch finished off the match with a Deep South destroyer through a tube bundle for the finish. This was a great match, and I want more of Death Match, Mr. Danger.

John Wayne Murdoch won via pinfall

3.75/5

After that, John Wayne Murdoch challenged Mr. Danger to a House of Horrors Match at TOS.

Overall

This was a great return to the showboat, and I miss GCW doing Death Matches, hence the lack of coverage on GCW here. This was one of GCW's best efforts in a while.
