RPW: Gator Scum 2025

 

Joey Chaos v. Ruby Flyer

These two had a pretty intense brawl outside of the ring. Joey Chaos gave Ruby Flyer a DDT into tacks. Ruby Flyer got the win. This match wasn't great. The problem here was that these two didn't hit each other hard at all. I don't want CTE or to actually hurt your opponent for real, but fuck don't just tap your opponent with a chair.

Ruby Flyer won via pinfall 

1.5/5

Buddy Badcock v. Nathan Mowery 

Nathan Mowery used antlers on Buddy Badcock. Buddy Badcock wore out Nathan Mowery with tubes. Buddy Badcock used a knife on Nathan Mowery. Once they got back in the ring Nathan Mowery suplexed Buddy Badcock onto a tube bundle. Nathan Mowery used a saw on Buddy Badcock. Nathan Mowery hit Buddy Badcock with a flaming knee and Badcock kicked out. Nathan Mowery finished off Buddy Badcock by dropkicking him through a flaming door. This match was insane, and I think people will know who Buddy Badcock is after this. 

Nathan Mowery won via pinfall

Incredible match, and what makes this even more incredible is that Mickie Knuckles had just gotten out of the hospital with a dire situation with a cut on her head that was getting infected. Love you, Mickie, and heel up.

Overall

Since this was RPW's 2nd-to-last show ever, it's good to see they're going out with a bang. This was a very solid show. The Mowery/Badcock match was my favorite match.
