GCW Tag Team Title Match
Violence Is Forever (Dominic Garrini & Kevin Ku) (c) vs. Alec Price & Jordan Oliver (w/Cole Radrick)
Jordan returning got a pop and this was a fine opening match. Short and mostly action that got the crowd going.
2.5 / 5
Six Man Tag Team Match
Los Desperados (Arez, Gringo Loco & Jack Cartwheel) vs. The Wagner Family (Dr. Wagner Jr., El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. & Galeno Del Mal)
Three younger guys vs 3 lucha vets here. It had its moments but suffered from pacing and some moments looking like they were slowed down and set up for some of the older guys to get ready.
2.5 / 5
Singles Match
Megan Bayne vs. Bozilla
Two women powerhouses but the match never felt exciting really. It never picked up steam or got fully exciting.
2.5 / 5
Singles Match
Zack Sabre Jr. vs. 1 Called Manders
Another one similar to the last. Was shocked by how short this was and it just never seemed to pick up.
2.5 / 5
Mask Vs. GCW Career Match
Atticus Cogar vs. Fuego Del Sol
This was leagues better than even I anticipated. Cogar is always good but Fuego put on match of his career here. Outside interference was a bit annoying but understanding.
4 / 5
Non Title Match
Minoru Suzuki vs. Matt Tremont
A lot of hard hits and slaps in what was otherwise just another fine match that wasn’t too interesting.
2.5 / 5
JCW Title Match
Masha Slamovich (c) vs. Suzu Suzuki
No one thought Masha would let her title here and this was a fine match. Good pace and interesting enough.
3 / 5
Singles Match
Gabe Kidd vs. Mance Warner
Mancer literally spraying blood 2 minutes into the match was just insane. This was a straight hard hitting brawl and a bloody good one.
4 / 5
Senior Scramble Match
Robert Gibson vs. Ricky Morton vs. Damian 666 vs. George South vs. Mike Jackson vs. Kerry Morton
A scramble with nothing but men over 60. Dumb idea just to get a few legends and older indy names in there. Kerry Morton barging in to make it seniors vs the young kid saved this but it still dragged.
1 / 5
No Rope Barbed Wire Match
Sabu vs. Joey Janela
Sabu’s retirement match as a no rope barbed wire. The run in with Cogars wasn’t needed and even more so Sandman’s prolonged mid match entrance killed the pace of this. Sabu took a few nasty spots though and seemingly mid match got a concussion. For a dude that seemed to have issues walking to the ring, he did go out with a bang. Props to Janela for always doing great in these types of matches.
3.5 / 5
