X-Brand x Loko: Fear and Loathing in Houston 2025

 

I urge you to check out Vulgar Display of Loko the day before. I quit reviewing no rings on here but it's worth checking 

Insane v. Christian Starr v. Nino Extremo v. Nicco Grey v. Marty 2 Fly v. Jeff Shock v. Nino Extremo v. Mikey Vargas

This was a Death Match scramble and it was elimination rules. We had tubes immediately then these guys battled outside of the ring. Since there was no commentary, I'm unsure who is who, so forgive me, but someone was put through a pane of glass. I was able to tell who Nino Extremo, Marty 2 Fly, and Nicco Grey were. Nicco Grey jammed a gusset into someone's head. Nino Extremo and Nicco Grey had a good battle in the ring. This match was fun and I liked it, but I wish I knew who I was watching. 

Nino Extremo won via pinfall 

2.5/5

Primo Cuhh v. Hardcore Hillbilly 

Primo Cuhh put Hardcore Hillbilly through a pane of glass to start off. Primo Cuhh jammed a gusset plate into Hardcore Hillbilly's head. Once they got back in the ring Hardcore Hillbilly attacked Primo Cuhh with a barbed wire apparatus. Primo Cuhh finished the match by lighting fireworks on Hardcore Hillbilly. This was a decent match

Primo Cuhh won via pinfall 

2.25/5

Ludark Shaitan v. Angel Metro 

After some strikes, Ludark Shaitan jammed skewers into Angel Metro's head. Ludark Shaitan broke a tube over Angel Metro. Angel Metro threw Ludark Shaitan through a tube bundle that was placed in the corner. These two wrestled over a gusset with Ludark Shaitan getting the better of Angel Metro. The match was okay, but the ending was sloppy with a clunky-looking roll-up.

Angel Metro won via pinfall 

2/5

Anthraxx defended the X-Brand Championship against Hardcore

Hardcore stepped in for an injured Mickie Knuckles. After some battling outside Hardcore blasted Anthraxx with a tube bundle and put Anthraxx through a pane of glass. And Anthraxx finished off Hardcore with the rings. This was a short match but intense as fuck, so I loved it. 

Anthraxx retained via submission 

2.75/5 

Necro Butcher v. Jesse Daniels v. Jimmy Chondo Lyon v. Deranged

This was gauntlet style. Necro whooped on Jesse Daniels and stabbed him in the head with a foreign object. Jesse Daniels retaliated with vicious chair shots. Necro Butcher finished off Jesse Daniels with a chair. Necro Butcher moved on to the next round. After Necro and Jasmine St. Clair beat Chondo. Chondo got eliminated by Necro. Deranged came out next, and he and Necro beat on each other. Necro Butcher threw chairs at Deranged. Necro finished off Deranged with a stiff punch. This was a great way to end the show. 

Necro Butcher won via pinfall 

3/5

Overall

This was a good show. I want to watch more Loko because they have good talent, and I want to see more from them and learn more about them. X-Brand continues to grow, and it's cool to see them go outside of the New Jersey area. Chicago next, please? This show itself had some solid matches, I just needed commentary so I knew the stories. 

6.6/10
