This time GCW Aura
I know in more extreme wrestling leagues things like rules are mostly optional, but it's hard to call that a tag match when nobody needs to tag in or out (not even roll in our out Lucha rules style).
That said, that match was decent. Kinda wincing at the fact The Mane Event uses the Shaker Heights Spike given the history of that move breaking peoples necks IRL.
Turns out promos in the indies are not dead with Matt Cardona and Jordan Oliver. That's the part of wrestling we find is missing from these shows and we're glad they happened here.
Once again this shows that GCW gives the best wrestling out there atm.
Cardona has an Ethan Page face.
Man GCW's folks lean young, like they have actual minors (i.e. Nick Wayne).
So we got a fatal 4 way now?
We notice it's mostly the wrestling veterans who go heel (Matt Cardona, Tony Deppen). Understandable, few people are really drawn to that role.
That might be why a lot of more experienced wrestling fans are drawn to the heels, they tend to be more experienced. The few younger folks who go heel tend to have cleaner ring work (J Bouji, AC Mack, MJF, a young CM Punk, etc).
(I do make an exception for Sammy Guevara since he was forced into a heel role because we was openly flaunting his stereotypically cishet relationship, that's different).
This 4 way is mostly quick high flyers and a heel technical wrestler.
Ninja Mack looks like if Eddie Kingston did a Lucha role
That was an interesting finisher
This 6 way tag team looks interesting, but we always love Effy.
Holy fuck, Sawyer Wreck and Dark Shiek on the oppoosing tag team. Holy SHIT we're gay.
Our wife says we would rock Sawyer Wreck's look. We gotta say she knows us well and we do agree.
While he doesn't give us gay feelings like his team mates, Raddy Daddy won us over.
Fuck we love Maki Itoh. It takes a special something for a Joshi werestler to get over in the US, especially in a place like GCW, and she did it.
She's going against Mosha Slamovich? Very nice.
Slamovich puched Itoh in the tits.
That match was fun.
Oooo, fellow gay Allie Katch is next. She looks a lot like our wife so we're biased.
Charles Mason doesn't quite do the devil thing as well as others do.
This fear angle fears a bit forced, but we do appreciate secondary storytelling in a match like that.
Charles Mason looks like he just came and is trying not to show it.
There went a tooth.
That was certainly a heel finish.
Streamer in the fan.
Alec Price vs Nick Wayne? Interesting. This will be a match of agility.
What is with Nick Wayne's blue tape on his shoulder. Is that like the AEW tape to show where the injuries are?
"He's Gahbage," Alec Price is certainly playing up the Boston aspect his character.
Not surprised the New England favorite won that one. Still a fun match.
Chris Hamrick looks like Craig T Nelson. I don't remember him in ECW.
Jimmy Lloyd? He's a lot of fun.
And now new blood with Mark Mathers.
Does Manders think he's Black Jack Mulligan?
Shane Mercer, who looks like DDP. He's fun.
Dustin Waller? We've seen him in action, he's interesting.
Scramble matches are hard to follow, but this is an interesting meshing of styles.
Did the bell ever ring?
Oh that combo, oooo, that was good.
Booooing, Lloyd bounces.
John Gresham vs Mike Bailey? Ohh, that's nice. An awesome technical wrestler vs an excellent quick striker with a martial arts motif. This is good.
Fuck, that was good.
Anyway, that was us being a wrestling nerd again.
