GCW: One Night Only 2026

 

Marcus Mathers v. Emersyn Jayne 

This was a solid opener. Emersyn Jayne is solid in a Death Match realm, but I never really see Marcus Mathers do this style of match, and he did great here. There were also many cool wrestling spots. 

Emersyn Jayne won via pinfall

3.25/5

Anakin Murphy and Logan Cavasos v. Bang and Matthews 

This match was decent, but I had a hard time following the previous match.

Bang and Matthews won via pinfall 

2/5

Mr. Danger v. Orin Veidt 

Danger started the match off with a tope while holding a bundle of tubes. Orin Veidt threw Mr. Danger through a Tokyo Tower. Orin Veidt took Mr. Danger around the ring and carved up Danger with tubes. Orin Veidt suplexed Mr. Danger through a door of tubes. Orin Veidt did an Assault driver to Mr. Danger through a tube bundle. Mr. Danger finished off Orin Veidt with a 450. 

This was a great match and both men brought it.

Ciclope v. Vipress 

Vipress dropkicked a tube bundle into Ciclope. Ciclope put Vipress through a barbed wire pane of glass. Vipress broke multiple tube bundles and a tube fan over Ciclope. Ciclope did a fisherman's buster to Vipress through a pane of glass. Ciclope finished off Vipress.

This match was solid, and I was impressed by Vipress and didn't know she could have a Death Match. Good stuff.

Ciclope won via pinfall

2.75/5

Atticus Cogar defended the GCW Championship against Lil Sicko 

Lil Sicko used a skateboard with tubes on Atticus Cogar. Atticus Cogar suplexed Lil Sicko onto a Tube Pentagram. Atticus attacked Lil Sicko with skewers. Atticus suplexed Lil Sicko into the ropes that had skewers in them. Atticus Cogar used a tube bundle that had skewers on it on Lil Sicko. Sicko sliced a piece of bread for Atticus, and they went through a barbed wire door. Atticus Cogar finished off Lil Sicko with a brain hemoredge. 

This was a very good match and it had very creative weapons.

2.75/5

Krule v. Bobby Beverly 

Krule went through a soda can door and a barbed wire door. Bobby Beverly threw a Chair at Krule. Bobby Beverly gave Krule a saito suplex through a barbed wire door. Krule finished off Bobby Beverly with a chokeslam on top of a pile of broken doors and barbed wire.

This was a decent and hard-hitting match.

Krule won via pinfall 

2.5/5

Matt Tremont and Dysfunction v. VNDL 48 (Otis Cogar and Christian Napier)

This was supposed to be Matt Tremont defending the Ultraviolent Championship against Dysfunction, but Napier and Otis came out and attacked Tremont and Dysfunction, so this was made into a tag. 

Dysfunction used a jug stick on Christian Napier. Tremont jammed a gusset into Otis's head and busted a tube over Otis. Otis Cogar broke a crutch with a tube on it over Dysfunction. Otis Cogar used a popper bat on Matt Tremont. Otis Cogar used the straight razor on Matt Tremont. VNDL 48 used salt and Lemon juice on Matt Tremont. Christian Napier gave Dysfunction a Hurricanrana through a door that had Tubes and soda cans on it. Tremont finished the match with a tube splash onto Otis Cogar.  

This was a solid match and a great way to end the show. After the match, Dysfunction was announced to be in the Death Match HOF this June. Well deserved. 

Matt Tremont and Dysfunction won via pinfall 

3.75/5

Overall

This was a solid show. Most of these matches delivered, and there wasn't anything that insulted me on the show. This dude lacks some star power, but people who don't normally do these types of matches, like Marcus Mathers, have to step up, and Vipress had a breakout performance. 

7.2/10
