Akira v. Dr. Redacted in a Falls Count Anywhere Match 

This was Falls Count Anywhere rules. This wasn't what I would consider a Death Match, but it was still hard-hitting and reminiscent of a Hardcore Match from the Attitude era. This was some good stuff.

Dr. Redacted won via pinfall 

3.25/5

Tommy Trainwreck v. Terry Shaw v. Sean Campbell 

After some brawling outside and tube shots, Terry Shaw cut his opponent's finger webbing with figure skates. Other than that, this match was chaotic, violent, and beautiful. 

Tommy Trainwreck won via pinfall 

3.75/5

Cousin Condry v. Tank

Tank and Rev dedicated this match to Ace Frehley. Tank went back into the locker room and came out as Poon Dog. This was a comedy-based match that was enjoyable and helped lighten the mood. I had fun watching it, but it didn't particularly stand out to me. 

Tank won via pinfall 

2.25/5

Jameson Shook v. Danny Demanto 

These two went in strong swinging tubes. Danny Demanto hit Jameson Shook with a popper chair on a YouTube video. Jameson Shook's back was cut up good. Danny Demanto threw a Tokyo Tower at Jameson Shook. The match ended abruptly when Jameson Shook got cut off by the side of the light tube debris. Danny just did a shot with the Tokyo Tower and got the win. I loved this match, and even though Shook got hurt, he had a star-making performance here. Next Death Match tournament, I think Jameson Shook should be in.

Danny Demanto won via pinfall 

4/5

Nathan Mowery v. Dale Patricks 

Narhan Mowery stabbed Dale Patricks with Deer Antlers. After some battling that involved tubes, Nathan Mowery used a bonesaw on Dale Patricks. Nathan Mowery used the flaming knee on Dale Patricks and shouted out Mittens for putting out Nathan Mowery. Dale Patricks chokeslammed Nathan Mowery through a flaming table to get the win. This was a pretty good match.

Dale Patricks won via pinfall 

2.75/5

Dimitri Alexandrov v. Hoodfoot 

This match was fun to watch. These two went hard, and it was very violent, but I loved that I could tell these two had fun beating the fuck out of each other. The match didn't reinvent the Death Match Wheel by any means, but that's just as good sometimes.

Hoodfoot won via pinfall 

3.5/5

John Wayne Murdoch defended the American Death Match Championship against Vixsin 

John Wayne Murdoch worked on Vixsin's leg with tubes. Vixsin got tangled in a bunch of barbed wire. John Wayne Murdoch put a safety pin in Vixsin's eyebrow and left her covered in a bloody pool. Vixsin broke many tubes over John Wayne Murdoch. John Wayne Murdoch finished off Vixsin with a brainbuster on a chair. This was a great match and Vixsin showed the US she was a killer this time out. Please come back.  

John Wayne Murdoch retained via pinfall 

4.25/5

This was an even more solid show than the previous night. Another case of all killer no filler. Great stuff, and my favorite match was the main.

8/10
