SVN: Soul Doubt 2025


 

Bestia 666 v. Phil Insane 


The 2 styles went well together. Bestia 666 incorporated a lot of Lucha moves and got Phil Insane to bleed with a chair shot. Phil Insane was just an unstoppable maniac as well. The match itself was good but I could have used more of it.


Phil Insane won via pinfall 

2.5/5


Bad Dude Tito v. Shlak


When I saw this was the match, I got excited and knew this would be a brutal hoss fight, and I was not let down. These two suplexed each other through chairs and beat each other to bloody pulps. This was very good.


Shlak won via submission 

3.25/5


Human Tornado v. Hoodfoot 


The main thing these guys did that was cool was keep Natural Born Killaz playing on a loop throughout the match. RIP New Jack. As far as the actual match goes, as far as I know, Human Tornado had not done many Death Matches, but he did great in this, taking tubes and launching Hoodfoot through a pane of glass. I had fun watching this one.


Hoodfoot won via pinfall 

2.75/5


Masada defended the Ultraviolent Championship against Tank


This was the first defense of Masada's newly won Ultraviolent Championship. It was a battle of two legends and both men beat the shit out of each other and gave each other all the signature spots. This was very enjoyable. 


Masada retained via pinfall 

2.75/5


Eric Ryan v. Aero Boy 


This was a fast-paced and violent match. It's just too bad it was so short. This wasn't a bad match I just needed way more of it. 


Aero Boy won via pinfall 

2.25/5


Judge Joe Dred v. Nick Gage 


Before the match, Judge Joe Dred and Steven Jury cut a great heel promo on Nick Gage, which set the tone of this match well. Nick Gage came out like a house of fire and destroyed Dred with tubes and even a popper bat. Dred got his revenge with tubes and tried to get Steven Jury involved but a mistake from Jury and a chokebreaker from Gage ended this. This was a solid match and had great storytelling. Plus, Gage came into this with a purpose, and when that happens, you always get magic out there.


Nick Gage won via pinfall 

3.5/5


Bobby Beverly v. Violento Jack 


They tore away the canvas and put up light tubes and barbed wire on the ropes for this battle of two of the best in their respective countries. This lived up to my expectations. They made very good use of the elements around them, the bare boards. The tubes and the Barbed wire and these two beat the fuck out of each other. Unreal match and this is worth the price of the IPPV itself.


Bobby Beverly won via pinfall 

5/5


After the match, Bobby Beverly and Hoodfoot turned heel by attacking and attempting to unmask Aero Boy. Journey Fatu came u to seemingly make the save, but he turned on Aero Boy to align with Hoodfoot and Bev. Eric Ryan came out to save Aero Boy and a new faction looks to be born here. 



This was a solid show. There were a few great matches on here: Tito/Shlak, Dred/Gage, and Bev/Jack, to be specific. The rest of the card wasn't too bad either. 


7/10

SVN: SVN Days a Week 2025


 


Bestia 666 v. Sefa Parisi


This match wasn't my jam. It was just average wrestling, and I wasn't trying to see that. 


Bestia 666 won via pinfall 

1/5


Phil Insane v. Slice Boogie


This was a good hitting match. Both men used a lot of strong-style wrestling mixed with some nice chair spots. Not a bad match at all.


Phil Insane won via pinfall

3.25/5


Rob Shit v. Journey Fatu 


These two went hard and I was here for it. Both Journey and Rob Shit busted tubes over each other and this achieved the goal of making Journey look like a monster. Good stuff.


Journey Fatu won via pinfall

2.75/5


Eric Ryan v. Bobby Beverly 


Eric Ryan set out an open challenge and Bobby Beverly answered. I was into this match, and it was cool seeing these two suplexes each other into the terra kata; however, this was too short. Give these guys more time dammit. 


Eric Ryan won via pinfall 

2/5


Hoodfoot defended the Ultraviolent Championship against Masada 


Masada laid down the challenge for Hoodfoot and Mo answered. This was a very violent hoss fight. Masada used a bat to smash a pane of glass on Hoodfoot, almost nailing Hoodfoot in the face. Hoodfoot did a great dive that he overshot the distance between him and Masada and ended up in the 3rd row. Shlak and Bobby Beverly brawled Ringside to set up something and we had the shock of a new champion. This was a decent match but this was another case of not having enough time.


Masada won via submission 

2.5/5


Bloodfighter (Judge Joe Dred and Alex Colon) v. Los Compares (Aero Boy and Violento Jack)


This was billed as an international faction: Death Match of Bloodfighter being an Australian faction and Los Compadres being a Mexican faction. This was exactly what I wanted when I saw this match announced. 4 great Death Match wrestlers destroying each other. Tubes were used, there was a crazy brawl outside of the ring, and we had great wrestling in this match, too. Watch this match; it's excellent. 


Bloodfighter won via pinfall 

4.75/5


Overall


This show had a great main event and some decent matches, but the majority of the matches on here would have benefited from more time, and a lot of stuff felt rushed.

Rise Underground: Live in Sheffield 2025


 


Lou Nixon defended the European Death Match Championship against Joe Wade


These two exchanged some brutal kicks. These two then exchanged tube shots. After a GTS, tube shot, and a choke, Lou Nixon won. This was a great match, and Joe Wade showed me something here, and I hope to see more of Joe Wade.


Lou Nixon retained via submission 

3.25/5


Risen v. Danny Demanto and the Pillars


This was an interpromotional match. This was a hard one to keep track of but Danny Demanto used a Thumbtack crucifix on Franco Fate. While this match was cool most of it was sensory overload. The finish with the chair with tubes was cool, but too much was happening. 


Danny Demanto and the Pillars won via pinfall 

2.5/5


Otis Cogar v. Iceman 


After a vicious hoss fight, Otis used his straight razor on Iceman. Otis finished off Iceman with a moonsault. This was okay I just didn't expect Iceman to barely get any offense.


Otis Cogar won via pinfall 

2/5


Big Fn Joe and Leonardo Darwin v. Millie McKenzie and Brett Sentex 


Brett Semtex started right off by Hitting Joe with a tube. The only other Death Match spot was Brett Semtex hitting Joe with an exploding bat; otherwise,, this was a nice, standard wrestling match.


Big Fn Joe and Leonardo Darwin won via pinfall 

2.5/5


Daniel v. Michael Caden in a Crucifixion Match


The way you win this match is to crucify your opponent, so this wasn't for the weak at heart. Michael Caden started off assaulting Daniel with tubes and a staple gun. Caden put Daniel through a tube pentagram. Then Daniel's crew tied Michael Caden to a cross. This was a good beat down from Caden, but this will be interesting to see how the story plays out, and Caden gets his revenge. 


Daniel won

2.25/5


Danny Darko v. Tim Strange 


This was a match to determine the Number One Contender for the European Death Match Championship in Las Vegas. Darko used a Kendo stick and water jug on Tim Strange to start off. After being hit in the chest with a tube, Danny Darko hit Tim Strange in the nuts with a tube, then Darko raked Strange across the head with a cheese grater. Then, to make matters worse,, Darkopoureded lemon juice into Strange's wounds. Darko gave Strange a frog splash onto a pile of fuckery. Tim Strage finished it off with a lariat. This match was great.


Tim Strange won via pinfall 

3/5


BA Rose v. Boy #1


After some good high-flying, Boy's momentum was cut off with a light tube shot from BA Rose. Boy wrapped himself in barbed wire and did a frog splash onto Rose. BA Rose put Boy through a pane of glass and barbed wire to get the win. For this being Boy's first Death Match, Boy did good, and I'm excited to see what the future holds for him. Good match.


BA Rose won via pinfall 

2.75/5


Atticus Cogar v. Drew Parker 


Drew Parker came out to the ring bleeding. These two put each other through doors with tubes on them. Parker through darts into Cogar's back. These two played all their hits and Atticus got his Skewer spot in and the brain hemorrhage to get the win. Yeah, this was both men doing their signature match, but honestly, there's nothing wrong with that. You had 2 high-caliber Death Match wrestlers doing what they do, so if it ain't broke, don't fix it.


Atticus Cogar won via pinfall 

3/5


Overall


This was a good show. This was what I wanted in UK Death Match, and with ICW being in the area, this made for a solid card.

SVN: Love Don't Live Here 2025


 

Journey Fatu v. Masada

We had a hoss fight to start things out. Right on cue, these two behemoths went hard on each other, and many chair spots happened. I enjoyed this and it was a good way to start the show.

Masada won via pinfall
3.75/5

Hoodfoot defended the Ultraviolent Championship against Krule

The beef kept coming with another hoss fight in this one. This was the first defense of the SVN Ultraviolent Championship against Krule. These two had the same style as the match that went on before it but the tack spot with Krule jamming tacks into Hoodfoot's hand and Krule's selling about made this one stand out.  Another banger
Hoodfoot retained via submission
3.5/5

Killah Kash v. Hardcore Hillbilly

This match featured a debuting Hardcore Hillbilly against a new up-and-comer in Killah Kash. Even though Hardcore Hillbilly bled like crazy this was too slow for my taste. Steven Jury caused Hardcore Hillbilly the match and Killah Kash joined forces with Steven Jury.

Killah Kash won via pinfall
1.75/5

Sean Campbell v. Phil Insane

This was the battle of 2 new comers. This was a very chaotic brawl in the crowd and Phil Insane is a monster.  Sean Campbell also had a good showing here with a lot of jumping off of stuff. I liked this match a lot.
Phil Insane won via pinfall
3/5

Judge Joe Dred v. Aero Boy

Considering who was in this i was expecting a lot and I was not let down. The only real weapon used here was tubes but these two made that count. Judge Joe Dred is such an amazing heel and Aero Boy did a lot of cool lucha spots using the tubes and I liked that even though he was wearing a mask I could see him bleed. This was fantastic and worth the watch alone.

Aero Boy won via pinfall
4/5

Masada and Hoodfoot v. The Covenant of the Goat

This had an interesting dynamic where Masada and Hoodfoot are getting ready to face off for the Ultraviolent Championship but they teamed here together. This was utter chaos but in a good way. Tank, Nathan Mowery and Masada got all there spots in with the stabbing of there signature objects. There was a lot of brawling in the crowd and the ropes were covered in tubes and barbed wire which all 4 combatants made good use of those elements. This was a great tag match and Hoodfoot and Masada actually teamed well together with no issue.

Masada and Hoodfoot won via pinfall
4.5/5

Overall

This was a great show with 5 solid Hardcore and Death Matches. The Dred/Aero Boy and the main event tag were both bangers and you should watch this show. It's free what else are you doing?

7/10

Rise Underground: Rise Rumble 2025


 


Big Fn Joe and Leonardo Darwin v. Myles and His Dad


This was a fun comedy match that I enjoyed to get things going. 


Myles and His Dad won via pinfall 

2/5


Millie McKenzie v. Natalie Sykes 


This was a quick match; I didn't see much from anyone.


Millie McKenzie won via pinfall 

0.5/5


Daniel v. Michael Caden in a Last Man Standing Match 


After a weird ass, Sermon, Daniel's group pounced on Micheal Caden. After the Attack Daniel sent his group back. These two gave each other multiple vicious chair shots. Daniel's group came out and attacked Michael Caden and gave the win to Daniel. Until the finish, this was a hard-hitting and fun match, but the finish took me out of it.


Daniel won

2.25/5


Lou Nixon v. Jeff Martial 


This was a nice strong-style match, and I wanna see more from Jeff Martial.


Lou Nixon won via submission 

2.5/5


Rise Rumble for the Rise Championship 


This was a Royal Rumble-style match. This was a fun Rumble, I'm not really sure how to review these. 


Brett Semtex won

3.5/5



Overall


This was an alright show, but I wanted some Death Match, dammit! Well, it was free, so I can't complain that much.


5/10

X-Brand: Jawnstown Massacre 2025



 

This was a no-ring show which, if they run Philly, I back more than the boxing ring, to be honest.


Jimmy Controversy v. Hellaware Assassin 


This match was decent. It had a lot of tubes, Hellaware Assassin bled a lot and Jimmy Controversy got good heat with the crowd. Good opener.


Jimmy Controversy won via pinfall 

2.5/5


After the match, Hellaware Assassin threatened Veronica Cane with a tazer; that wasn't cool. 


Nicco Grey v. Jimmy Chondo Lyon 


This was a march to qualify for Unlucky 13. The hammer in the mouth spot Chondo gave to Nicco Grey was cool. Other than that, this match was a throwaway for me. Since Jimmy Chondo Lyon won he advanced to Unlucky 13.


Jimmy Chondo Lyon won via pinfall

1.5/5


There was a 3-way pillow fight 


Sinister Minister v. JC Extreme 


I like the creativity with the weapons, i.e., the tube sphere, and the board with tacks. And I liked JC Extreme and think that kid has Something. However, the match was short and ended suddenly after Sinister Minister suplexed JC Extreme through the door with tacks I was talking about. I wish this wouldn't have suddenly ended, but other than that, this wasn't bad. 


Sinister Minister won via pinfall 

2/5



Jeff Shock v. Hardcore 


This was another Unlucky 13 qualifying match. Both men went hard in this one. I like how Jeff Shock worked over Hardcore's injured leg. In the match, Jeff Shock got a nasty cut on his elbow to where you can see gore coming out of his arm. And Hardcore finishing this off with some legit wrestling moves was the icing on the cake. This was some good stuff and I get my wish of seeing Hardcore in a Tournament. 


Hardcore won via submission 

3.25/5


Jesse Daniels v. Willy Tiny


Jesse Daniels was a good heel, but other than that, this match wasn't for me. It was slow, and other than a few tube spots, it didn't really offer me anything.


Jesse Daniels won via pinfall 

2/5


Tobi Mara v. Kevin Khaos 


There was some wild stuff in this one. Tubes, Razor Boards outside brawling and Tobi Mara getting lit on fire. I was entertained and the match wasn't bad. I'd say run this back at a ring show.


Kevin Khaos won via referee stoppage 

2.75/5


Overall


I'm not super big on no-ring shows, and there was only a handful of talent I was familiar with on this show, but this wasn't terrible. 


5/10

GCW:Cage of Survival 4





 


Slade v. Bear Bronson


This was Bear Bronson's first ever Death Match and what a first impression! His back looked disgusting from going through 2 Tokyo Towers, and these two men took an insane spot from a forklift through doors with a tube bundle on top of it waiting below. Slade was a monster here and that's what this match needed. This was great.


Slade won via pinfall 

4.5/5


Charles Mason v. Jamie Lynn Senegal 



This, like most Charles Mason matches, was boring. Jamie Lynn Sennegel was okay but it didn't get into this match.


Charles Mason won via pinfall 

1.5/5


Jeffrey John, Jay Lucas and Terry Yaki v. Charlie Tiger, Jordan Oliver and Alec Price 


We just had a spot fest here to get some wrestlers on the show. It was good but nothing too crazy.


Charlie Tiger, Jordan Oliver, and Alec Price won via pinfall 

2.75/5


Masha Slamovich defended the JCW Championship against KJ Orso


Masha is one of the best strikers going now and looked great here. I also liked the KJ Orso heel character. The match was an indie wrestling match but a good one.


Masha Slamovich retained via pinfall 

3/5


Dr. Redacted and Daiju Wakamatsu v. Lil Sicko and Mr. Danger 


On paper, I was looking forward to this match, and it did not disappoint. Redacted came back to this match after being eliminated with a vengeance and tore it up. Wakamatsu is so strategic with his tube spots and that got me pumped up. Lil Sicko showed out here and did some really cool high-flying spots like jumping off of a tall ass ladder onto Dr. Redacted, who had a tube bundle on top of him. And Mr. Danger impressed me again mixing high flying and Death Match as well as greats Sick Nick Mondo and JC Bailey. This was a chaotic and beautiful tag.


Dr. Redacted and Daiju Wakamatsu won via pinfall 

4.75/5


Atticus Cogar v. Joey Janela in a Dog Collar Match 


To be fair I'm not into dog collar matches. I think they're usually slow and Boring and this was no exception. The end was cool with Vandal 48 crucifying Joey Janela but it was too little too late by then. If they're gonna do a blood feud do it.


Atticus Cogar won via pinfall 

2.5/5


Team JCW (2 Tuff Tony, Mickie Knuckles, and Brothers of Funstruction) v. Team GCW (Effy, Matt Tremont, John Wayne Murdoch, and Jimmy Lloyd)


This will be a short review because I can't even describe what I saw. I don't know what the hell I just watched but I loved it 

No Contest

4/5



Miedo Extremo v. Ciclope in Cage of Survival 4


These two came into this wanting to destroy each other, and they accomplished this. Miedo gave Ciclope a suplex onto the side of the cage lying down with tubes on it, and Ciclope was moving funny after, so I hope all was good there. Other than that, we had tubes galore, hard-hitting wrestling, and the spot off the Scaffold where Miedo gave Ciclope a Death Valley driver off of that into the ring through a few layers of doors was great. This was an awesome way to end the feud.


Miedo Extremo won via pinfall 

4.5/5

Overall


Other than the Dog Collar Match the main attractions were solid. We got a beautiful tag in Redacted/Wakamatsu and Danger/Sicko and the JCW/GCW Brawl was fun. The rest was filler but to be expected. This was a solid show.


7/10

GCW:Tournament of Survival 10












Zandig came out to start the show and bring the trophy to the ring. 


John Wayne Murdoch v. Mr. Danger House of Horrors First-Round Match 

This was how you start a tournament! House of Horrors Death Match was the rubber match in the series Murdoch and Danger were having that was tied 1-1. Murdoch, being the veteran he is, made sure not to take it easy on the Death Match Tournament rookie and destroyed him with tubes. Mr. Danger, though, impressed the fuck out of me. This guy was diving off the House of Horrors structure, including climbing up this seemingly 20-foot Scaffold and diving off it onto Murdoch.  Danger also has a lot of good high-flying offense. This was amazing.


John Wayne Murdoch advanced via submission 
4.75/5


Dr. Redacted v. Beastman v. Otis Cogar 

During the entrances Beastman had a shock master moment when he tripped over a chair he knocked down. While I did enjoy this match it was mainly for the stuff Otis and Redacted did. Beastman was very sloppy here. I don't know what happened if he just had a bad night or what, but this wasn't the Beastman I saw in January at the Big Japan tournament. Also, I'm not saying Redacted should have won, but this was the wrong move having him be the one to be eliminated here.



Otis Cogar advanced via pinfall 
2.75/5

Daiju Wakamatsu v. Bobby Beverly in a First-Round Match 

I haven't seen much of Daiju Wakamatsu, but from the few matches I had seen, I was looking forward to seeing him here. He didn't disappoint. He did some great tube spots, and I love his elbow finish. Bobby Beverly showed here why he is one of the best in the country and took and gave some insane tube shots here as well. We finally had some tube fans used here, which I liked, and this match had great psychology to it as well.  This match was incredible and you need to see it.


Bobby Beverly won via pinfall 
5/5

Matt Tremont defended the Ultraviolent Championship against Jimmy Lloyd and Shotzi Blackheart in a First-Round Match 

So a lot is going on here to break down.  Matt Tremont's Ultraviolent Championship will be defended throughout the tournament,  and there was set to be a surprise entrance but we got 2. GCW Legend Jimmy Lloyd and fresh out of WWE Shotzi Blackheart. Shotzi was the story of this match. I love how reckless her dives are, and she took the glass and barbed wire her 2nd match back into the Indies;  amazing. Tremont is a modern-day legend, and Jimmy Lloyd is underrated. Enough said. Another great match. 

Matt Tremont retained and advanced via pinfall 
3.75/5

Richard Holliday addressed the crowd and was booed out of the building. 

Otis Cogar v. John Wayne Murdoch in a Second-Round Match 

Otis was great here with the ring psychology. John Wayne Murdoch suffered a bad cut to the side in the First, and Otis was working that over, including using the straight razor to open the cut more. John Wayne Murdoch, even though he was badly hurt still had an outstanding performance as well. The match itself was a bit slow, but it told a good story.

Otis Cogar advanced via pinfall 
3/5



Matt Tremont defended the Ultraviolent Championship against Bobby Beverly 

This was a blood bath. There was a gusset spot, and of course, both men were gushing blood. Matt Tremont actually squirted blood from his forehead.  Bobby Beverly got to show off how hard he can swing tubes and throw chairs and Tremont protected Bobby Beverly's fisherman's buster finish. This was a solid match. 

Matt Tremont retained and advanced via pinfall 
3/5

Jeff Cannonball came out to bring the trophy to the Ringside for the winner. Blake Christian interrupted Jeff Cannonball's speech but Tony Deppen made the save.

Matt Tremont defended the Ultraviolent Championship against Otis Cogar in the Finals of Tournament of Survival 10
They covered the canvas in Cinderblocks and put light tubes around the ropes for the finals. During Tremont's entrance, he came out to Hungry Like The Wolf to pay tribute to Danny Havoc. I was expecting a battle of the behemoths here and I got it. There were a few cool spots with the cinderblocks and a lot of nice tube shots. At one point, Vandal 48 came out to help Otis to win, but that was in vain as Joey Janela made the save for Tremont. The last 2 slams on the pile of cinderblocks were brutal as well. This was a very good way to end the Tournament and the right person won

Matt Tremont retained and won Tournament of Survival 10 via pinfall 
4/5

Overall

This was a solid tournament, and one of the better GCW shows in a while. The right person won in Tremont, and there wasn't a lot to complain about on this show other than the first 3 ways (see review above). 

8/10

ICW NHB:Vol.71

.


 

Big Fn Joe v. Tommy Vendetta 


I enjoyed this match. There was a lot of comedy and creative spots with tubes. There was a nasty spot in the match where Big Fn Joe carved Tommy Vendetta in the arm with a tube, and Tommy had a nasty cut. But Tommy Vendetta powered through and won. 


Tommy Vendetta won via pinfall 

2.75/5


Gary Jay v. Danny Darko 


This was more of a strong-style match, but it was decent. These two beat the shit out of each other, and there wasn't a lot of weaponry which I was kinda bummed on, but I'll get over it. 


Danny Darko won via pinfall

2.25/5


MM3 v. BA Rose


This was nuts. We saw some insane spots like BA Rose cutting MM3 with an electric saw in the Nether regions, BA Rose going through a barbed wire net, and Multiple bumps on a bed of nails. I loved this match.


MM3 won via pinfall 

4.25/5


Danny Demanto v. Drew Parker 


I was hoping for this to be better, but this was from two people who are very beat up, and to set the stage, this ICW show was right after another one earlier in the day, so you got what you got,, and it was what it was. I hope these two rest up. Feel better. And run this back the way it should be.


Drew Parker won via pinfall 

2/5


Jack Harrop v. Iceman


We had a battle of father vs. Son here. This was pretty intense.  These two beat the shit out of each other like Jack crashed the car back in the day and the fuckin finish. Jack Harrop had Iceman tied to the middle chain and then used jumper cables to electrocute him. This was a good match.


Jack Harrop won via pinfall 

2.5/5


Lou Nixon defended the Rise Underground European Death Match Championship against Clint Margera 


This match was okay. It was 2 death-match guys who could work. The jousting with swords made of tubes was cool. It got a little slow at times but there was still enough to enjoy. 


Lou Nixon won via submission 

2.5/5


Atticus Cogar defended the American Death Match Championship against Otis Cogar 


The match was Brother versus Brother. Otis Cogar tried to lay down for Atticus Cogar for a cheap win, but Danny Demanto came out and restarted the match and said If they didn't have a legit match, Atticus would be stripped of the American Death Match Championship and left in the UK. After that, this match was very intense. Atticus got his skewere spot in and Otis got his razor spot in. Otis gave Atticus a powerbomb from the top chain through a pit of light tubes. Both men went hard and this was great. 

Atticus Cogar retained via pinfall 

3.75/5


Overall


This was a good show. The show's match was MM3/BA Rose, and the battle of the Cogars was great too. ICW continues to be on a roll and giving me good Death Match content to watch.


7/10

ICW NHB Vol. 70


 


Gary Jay v. Kody Manhorn 


This was a straight-up wrestling match, and it was fine. It's just that technical style isn't really my thing. It was okay for what it was.


Kody Manhorn won via submission

2/5



Danny Darko v. MM3 

.

The skinny tube used in this match was gigantic. That thing had to be at least 7 feet tall. This match was very straightforward. It was good wrestling with a few tube spots but both wrestlers were phenomenal. I enjoyed this.


MM3 won via pinfall 

3/5


Tim Strange v. Big Fn Joe v. Iceman v. Michael Caden 


This one was very chaotic. It reminded me of a later WCW Hardcore Match because it was too much to call. I still had fun watching it though. This was an alright match from 4 of the UK's best behemoths. 


Tim Strange won via pinfall 

2.5/5


Danny Demanto v. Clint Margera 


This was good. Clint Margera might have one of the best Death Valley Drivers in the game and Clint gave him many. Danny went through tubes, doors, and all kinds of things in this.


Clint Margera won via pinfall 

3/5


After this match, Clint Margera called out Lou Nixon for the later show.


Tommy Vendetta v. Drew Parker 


This match was perfect. Tommy Vendetta took a great deal of punishment here, even though he was wearing his Death Match hoodie. Tommy went through a barbed wire gate and had darts thrown at him. Drew Parker here looked like he did in 2022 with great Death Match spots and Japanese-style wrestling. 


Drew Parker won via pinfall 

3.5/5


Jack Harrop v. Otis Cogar 


We had a hoss fight here. This was slow as expected but the spot where Jack Harrop speared Otis through the door and Otis hit his head on the tire around the ring post was good. I liked this but again, this was a bit slow for me.


Otis Cogar won via pinfall 

2/5



Atticus Cogar defended the American Death Match Championship against Lou Nixon 


These two wrestled for most of this, and other than Atticus Cogar's skewer spot, there wasn't much Deathmatch, which is fine because both are good at it. I liked this match but the Otis powerbombing Lou Nixon to get Atticus the win was a bit flae. 


Atticus Cogar retained via pinfall 

2.5/5


Overall

This was another good show from ICW who are firing on all cylinders right now. Stand-out matches were Danny/Clint Margera and Drew Parker/Tommy Vendetta. Keep it up ICW

GCW: Dream On 2025

  Lucky 13 came out and insulted the crowd, then Hacksaw Jim Duggan came out and insulted Lucky 13. Ray Jaz came out and attacked Lucky 13. ...
