H2O: Hardcore Kingdom 8

 

Kaos Ctrl ( Sean Smith and Cecilio Vega) v. GG Everson and Leroy Robinson in a First-Round Match 

So, to explain this edition of Hardcore Kingdom.  There are 4 First-Round matches.  If you win you go into a gauntlet in the main event. This was the first of those matches. After some good wrestling, Sean Smith double-stomped some trash can lids into GG Everson and Leroy Robinson. This match started off well but fell apart and got sloppy towards the end. 

Kaos Ctrl advanced via pinfall 

1.75/5

Matt Tremont and Braxx v. C.U.M ( Low Life Louie and Louie Jr.) In a First-Round Match 

We started the second match of the first round with a nice strike exchange.  After some brawling outside Matt Tremont jammed a gusset plate into Louie Jr's arm. Matt Tremont hit Low Life Louie with a water jug stick. Louie Jr.  Hit Matt Tremont with a stick that had tacked on it. C.U.M. used straight Razors on Matt Tremont and Braxx. Matt Tremont busted a monitor over Low Life Louie's head.  This was a solid match that was fast-paced, but not fast enough. You'll miss things and be super violent.

Marc Angel and Jimmy Chondo Lyon v. The Extricated (Bam Sullivan and Mouse)

This was our next First-Round Match.  Marc Angel used a gusset plate on Bam Sullivan.  Jimmy Chondo Lyon used spiky Legos on Bam Sullivan. Jimmy Chondo Lyon used a popper bat on Bam Sullivan to break up a pin.  This was a nice match. There was some cool stuff in it weapon-wise, but there were a few clunky spots, and this was slow at times.

The Extricated advanced via pinfall 

2.5/5

Snack Pack (Jess Moss and JB Anderson) v. Peace, Love, and Death Match (Alex Stretch and Anthraxx)

This was our last First-Round Match. Jess Moss started the match with a dive. Peace Love and Death Match jammed a gusset into JB Anderson's head. Alex Stretch was thrown through carpet strips that were set up on the ropes.  JB Anderson used a gusset cross on Alex Stretch. This was a really good match with a lot of chaotic violence, just the way I like it.

Peace, Love, and Death Match won via pinfall

Neil Diamond Cutter defended the Danny Havoc Hardcore Championship against Kit Osbourne 

This was an open challenge that a returning Kit Osbourne answered. I'm glad Kit is back and hopefully takes the run he deserves on this one. Kit Osbourne gave Neil Diamond Cutter a slam onto a chair that was on its side. These two threw chairs at each other.  Neil Diamond Cutter gave Kit Osbourne a brainbuster onto a chair. Kit Osbourne gave Neil Diamond a Cutter and elbow onto a slab of Cinderblocks. Kit Osbourne hit Neil Diamond Cutter with cinderblocks. Neil Diamond Cutter gave Kit Osbourne a Death Valley driver onto Cinderblocks they ended this one on some good wrestling. This was a solid match with some crazy bumps on those cinderblocks. 

Neil Diamond Cutter retained via pinfall 

3.5/5

Deklan Grant defended the H2O Championship against Low Life Louie 

After going to war in Hardcore Kingdom Low Life Louie is coming out for a title match. Deklan Grant headbutted Low Life Louie to the point he bled. Even though the crowd really wanted Louie to win this was really just Deklan Grant beating down Louie and them furthering the story or Deklan Grant and Austin Luke running over H2O. I was disappointed by the match.

Deklan Grant retained via pinfall 

1.5/5

Hardcore Kingdom Tag Team Turmoil

This is a gauntlet match the Team of GG Everson and Leroy Robinson and the Extricated started this off. After some wrestling The Extricated advanced by pinning Leroy Robinson. Peace, Love, and Death Match came out next. We had Anthraxx using a barbed wire board on Mouse. Alex Stretch went through a barbed wire board. Peace Love and Death Match put syringes through the cheeks of Bam Sullivan.  Mouse gave Alex Stretch a sliced bread through a barbed wire board.  Then, With the assistance of Mouse and a chair, Bam Sullivan pinned Anthraxx for the Extricated to advance. Then their final challenge was Matt Tremont and Braxx. Matt Tremont put both of them Extricated through barbed wire boards. Bam Sullivan put a gusset plate into Matt Tremont. And just like that Matt Tremont and Braxx won. This was honestly a solid match, and I hope to see this again next year.
