ICW NHB: Vol. 88

 

Akira v. Eric Ryan

These two started off chain wrestling then Akira got dropkicked through a barbed wire board. These two went back to wrestling and then Akira worked over Eric Ryan with a barbed wire chair in the corner. Then Eric Ryan hit a sit-out powerbomb to get the win. This was good while it lasted, and I wanted more. But that's kinda Eric Ryan's thing, to get a sudden win. 

Eric Ryan won via pinfall 

2/5

The Pillars (Tommy Vendetta and MM3) v. Unsigned and Don't Care (Gary Jay and Eeron Wade)

We had a tag match in the chains next. Other than some doors, chairs, and one gusset spot, this was just a solid wrestling match among four people that can go on.

The Pillars won via pinfall

3.25/5

Hoodfoot v. Reed Bentley 

These two broke VHS tapes over each other. Reed Bentley hit Hoodfoot with records. Hoodfoot used a cheese grater and a tennis racket with a gusset plate on Reed Bentley. Once they got back in the ring Reed Bentley used the cheese grater on Hoodfoot. Hoodfoot finished off Reed Bentley with a saito. This was a pretty fun match with some cool outside-of-the-ring brawling spots.

Hoodfoot won via pinfall 

2.75/5

Danny Demanto v. Angel Metro 

Angel Metro got Danny Demanto with a gusset plate early on. Danny Demanto got Angel Metro back with a tube bundle. Danny Demanto jammed gussets and skewers into Angel Metro's head. Angel Metro got her revenge with a tube bundle to Danny Demanto. Danny threw Angel from the stage through a sign and a tube bridge. Danny barely got it but Angel Metro took that like a champ. Angel Metro got up and hit Danny Demanto with a popper bat. Danny Demanto gave Angel Metro a Demanto driver through a tube cabin. Angel Metro took a Demanto driver through the Ultraviolent dance floor. Angel Metro not only got up but wore out Danny Demanto with tubes. Danny Demanto finally finished off Angel Metro with a Demanto driver off the top chain through a door bridge. This was a great match and Angel Metro was a badass!! She took so many crazy bumps, and I think a star was made here. 

Danny Demanto won via pinfall

4.25/5

Dr. Redacted v. Ludark Shaitan 

Ludark used a gusset and Tubes on Redacted to begin the match. Outside of the ring, Ludark worked over Redacted with a gusset, but Redacted smashed a chair into Ludark and worked over Ludark with a gusset. After they got back into the ring Ludark hit Redacted with a tube bundle and a chair, then Ludark put Redacted through a door/ tube bundle bridge. Redacted got Ludark with a tube bundle. Redacted got put through an Ironing board. Redacted and Ludark had a tube exchange. Redacted finished off Ludark with a frog splash off the top chain onto a fork board. On paper, I was most excited for this match on this ICW weekend, and this delivered. Solid stuff from both parties involved.

Dr. Redacted won via pinfall 

4/5

John Wayne Murdoch defended the American Death Match Championship against Dale Patricks 

Dale Patricks wore out John Wayne Murdoch with tubes. Dale Patricks used a knife board on John Wayne Murdoch. John Wayne Murdoch used a knife on Dale Patricks. John Wayne Murdoch went off the apron through a door bridge on the floor. Dale Patricks gave John Wayne Murdoch a suplex through tubes. Then, after John Wayne Murdoch kicked out, Reed Bentley attacked Dale Patricks. John Wayne Murdoch hit a running knee through a pane of glass. John Wayne Murdoch hit a brainbuster to retain. This was a decent enough match, but the bigger story was Reed Bentley attacking Dale Patricks mid-match. Rejects heel run?

John Wayne Murdoch retained via pinfall 

2.75/5

This was a pretty good show. The Danny/Angel and Redacted/Ludark match was both a banger and pretty much everything else on the card wasn't bad either. I got no complaints

6.9/10
