Now Available on FITE.tv
The first of GCW’s two Midwest shows this weekend! We have a pretty stacked lineup on this night (ahead of the inevitable bloodbath that will be the Nick Gage Invitational on Saturday). Emil Jay is your ring announcer and will be joining Kevin Gill at the commentary table.
Match 1: Matthew Justice & Effy vs Alex Zayne & Tony Deppen
Well, I love this opener already. Justice brings in some beers and they had a good toast before the chaos. Effy and Zayne ambush their respective opponents mid-chug and kick this match off. Zayne going quick but Effy eye pokes. Zayne gets Effy to dive into Justice and the dive party begins. Deppen and Zayne work Effy over. Assist flip corkscrew senton for two. Deppen sticks his boots in Effy’s mouth. Grosssss. Justice in there and hypes Effy up. Effy pull up his bandana over his face and reveals a makeshift Mance Warner mask. Effy goes wild and drops the kneepad to ram it into Deppen and Zayne. Effy powerbombed off the top. Zayne rana’s Justice into a Legpdrop on Effy. Great spot. Second Gear Crew hit a doomsday blockbuster on Zayne! They have this wrapped. Zayne kicks out! Time for hardware. SGC create a double stack table. Zayne cuts it off but Effy hits the sack ryder. Table 1 collapses, Zayne thrown on top of both tables and Justice hits a top rope splash for the pin! Super fun opener.
Winner: Justice & Effy
Match 2: Gringo Loco vs ASF
They play to the crowd but Gringo cuts off ASF with a gut kick. ASF with the first gif moment of the night, handspringing across the ring with his opponent. Gringo starts to work him over but ASF staying ahead…though he’s eating some big moves in the process. After a huge Samoan drop-style facebuster, Gringo hits a chop that sends the spit flying. ASF tries a poison rana but Gringo hits a sitout facebuster for two! ASF hits a springboard sling blade! He tries another but has to flip it into a tornado ddt! ASF tries a poison rana off the top but Gringo flips it into a sitout super bomb. ASF kicks out! Gringo tries a driver off the top but ASF hits the rana. Running dropkick for two! ASF heads back, Gringo drops him on the buckles and hits an avalanche falcon arrow to get the pin! A rare singles match for these two and it delivered!
Winner: Gringo Loco
Match 3: Jordan Oliver & Nick Wayne vs Atticus Cogar & Eddie Only
Oliver and Wayne are testing their mettle as partners after previously being opponents. Ain’t nothing like 44OH to bring people together. Cogar won’t start with a fired up Wayne. Only starts and powers Wayne down with chops and a shoulder block. Oliver tries his luck and Only gives him similar treatment. Cogar in and wants to use the skewers but Wayne stops that quick. Oliver and Wayne find their groove as a unit and 44OH is getting pummeled. Stereo suicide dives and the crowd is fired up. Cogar gets back in and abuses Nick Wayne, stomping and taunting Oliver as he tries to tag. 44OH keep this up, frustrating Oliver to allow them to do cheap heel double teams but Wayne keeps kicking out. Oliver finally gets the tag! Jordan wipes them out, double German, exploder to Only, powerbomb to Cogar for two. Wayne back in and they want a double superplex but 44OH cuts it off. Cogar with an air raid crash off the top! Jordan springboards back into the ring to send Only flying to break up the pin. Only sent out, Oliver and Wayne set Cogar up for a double superkick. Gregory Iron & Eric Ryan make their presence known and create a distraction that cuts off the finish. 44OH with a 4 on 1. Cogar off the top and stomps the knee of Oliver. Huge F*** Ohio chants. Wayne gets Oliver to safety as the refs break it up. 44OH keeps trying to attack an injured Oliver and they challenge Wayne to get back into the fight with all of them. Bad odds but the kid gets in there. Wayne fires up and sends Ryan & Iron flying. Wayne hits a flying crossbody! Cutter to Cogar! Dive to the outside! Cogar intercepts Wayne on the top and hits the headlock driver to get the pin! Wild final minute here where Wayne really looked like he might take the upset win.
Winner: Cogar & Only
Match 4: Allie Katch vs Chelsea Green
This is a social media war that has finally made its way to the ring. Green takes the mic but Detroit wants none of it. She asks Deteoit to not treat her as they do Matt Cardona and she gives a full baby face promo. Detroit still wants Katch to murderlize her. She says that she broke her arm before the match and she can’t wrestle…so they’ll go to intermission early and take photos. The crowd is turning for her as Katch takes the mic…and Green blasts her with the cast. OF COURSE IT WAS A RUSE. Ring the bell! Dropkick into the corner for two. Green pummels and stretches Katch for a while, multiple pin attempts as the crowd realizes their initial impression was indeed correct. Green running in and Katch hits a seated senton. Corner splash and a cannonball for two! Green reversing some big moves, and manages to Jack up Allie’s leg on the rope. Green grabs a staple gun and tries to staple a Matt Cardona 8x10 to her head. Allie fights it off with a headbutt and staples the photo to her face instead. Green tries an Unprettier but Katch throwing hands and hits a big kick. Green gives Katch a low blow but that doesn’t work. The hair pull takedown does. Curb stomp! Kick out! Green grabs a non-folding chair but Katch escapes and crumbles her with a kick for two. Piledriver! Katch grabs the cast that Green threw off and uses it to leverage a deep crossface and Green frantically taps out!
Winner: Allie Katch
NOW we go to intermission! We come back to a Leon Ruff promo, who is STOKED to make his GCW debut in his hometown of Detroit.
Match 5: Chase Burnett vs Cole Radrick vs Brayden Lee vs Yoya vs Leon Ruff vs Nate Webb
Huge response for Ruff. Webb gets his full Teenage Dirtbag entrance and wipes out the entire scramble in the process….Detroit Loves Spider Nate Webb. The competition right back in and on fire. Yoya cleans house early but Uncle Chase hits a sick rebound moonsault. He’s definitely still got it. Brayden with a big dropkick to Cole. Yoya with a double stomp ddt combo to Lee & Cole. Ruff in to cut this fire off. Crazy double flip wrist lock double takedown! Ruff with some great rope transition evasions and dropkicks Lee to the outside! Great sequence! Radrick with a tornado ddt to Ruff. Webb and Chase go at it, Chase almost gets the sunset flip. Everyone trying quick pins! Ruff almost gets a double stack jackknife pin. Radrick with a stunner and Blu-ray to Ruff! Lee Blu-ray’s Radrick into Ruff and cannonballs. Yoya hits a double poison rana to Radrick and Burnett! Nate Webb hits Soylent Green on Yoya! Ruff breaks up the pin! Everyone cleared and Ruff with a big senton to the outside! Ruff and Chase trading shots in the center. Chase locks up the legs and tries a pin. Close two. Ruff flies off with a super cutter. Chase kicks out the knee but misses a senton! Ruff hits a backflip DDT on Chase Burnett to win the scramble. There’s a reason GCW puts a scramble on damn near every show. Great energy and emotion to kick off our second half. Great return for Leon Ruff!
Winner: Leon Ruff
Match 6: Matt Cardona vs Alex Shelley
Cardona is out wearing an Effy jacket. This war is clearly not over. Detroit HATES Cardona, who grabs the mic to remind him that he is the two time Internet champion and that he beat Effy to do that. He apologizes for calling Detroit a B town…Nono, it’s a F TOWN. Cardona thought he was supposed to be the Celebrity guest host. He doesn’t WANT to fight Alex Shelley. He doesn’t care about having a good match. He just wants his payday. The mic keeps cutting out and the crowd loves it. Cardona vs the Indies remains magical. He knows Shelley can wrestle but Cardona can talk. So says the DEATHMATCH KING. Shelley is out and steals the Internet title from Cardona, getting right in his head. Cardona powders right at the bell. He comes back, Shelley throws forearms and Cardona runs away again. Cardona back in with a cheap shot and shoulder block before posing. Shelley offers middle fingers and a head kick sends Cardona to the microphone. He calls Shelley a great wrestler and Detroit an A town. He offers to lay down for Shelley so this night can be over. The crowd doesn’t want that. Shelley chops him, atomic drops and pulls in with a lariat. Cardona runs again but Shelley grabs his nethers and drags him around the ring by them. Mandible claw with the same hand! Cardona kicks the rope and staggers Shelley in the low parts. Cardona goes to work FINALLY…well he throws Shelley out and demands the ref count him out. He steals some beer and hates it, spitting in Shelley’s eyes. Shelley returns the favor. Cardona keeps the momentum, ramming Shelly into the apron. He does a Hogan shirt rip and chokes Shelley with the shirt. He misses a Broski boot. Shelley with a flatliner to the second buckle! Cardona with a double underhook but Shelley kicks his way free. Pop up powerbomb, Cardona kicks out! Cardona with an Unprettier, kick out! The Broski boot lands for a near fall. Cardona grabs the Internet belt but accidentally wipes out the ref! Shelley DDT’s him on the belt and gets a 10 count before the new ref shows up. Chelsea Green pulls out the new ref! Low blow to Shelley! Green is gonna blast him with the belt! Allie Katch is in but Cardona blasts her down! Effy is out! Cardona sets him up for a belt shot, Effy dodges and Green blasts her man. Effy with the sack ryder to Green! Shelly with a low blow to Cardona! Effy with a sack ryder! Alex Shelley gives Cardona a smooch on the forehead and HITS SISTER ABIGAIL FOR THE WIN! This was great.
Winner: Alex Shelley
It’s time to load the ring with f***ery (in this case, a lot of light tubes)
Match 7: Charli Evans vs Rina Yamashita
Yamashita brings a giant light tube fan to the ring. This is gonna get wild. They test each other’s power at first but go to the light tubes quickly when it’s clear they’re evenly matched. Trading light tube shots to the head. Evans with a forearm through a tube to the face! Time to carve up Yamashita’s head. Yamashita is bloodied and fires up, blasts Evans with several tubes before cutting her own forehead up more. Evans is bloodied too as Yamashita tries a pin. That ain’t it though. Yamashita is enjoying the violence. Evans with a knee to the chin and a suplex into tubes! Kick out! There’s broken glass everywhere. Evans with a superplex! They’re both wiped out from THAT crash. They trade forearms, snap suplexes (the one Yamashita gets hit with is SUPER GNARLY), lariats. Evans slips a powerbomb and gets to trading headbutts before hitting a saito! Big clothesline for two! Evans caught running, Yamashita hits a tonic for two! She grabs the giant light tube fan and and blasts the entire thing across Evans’ head. Charli rolls out of the pin. Spooky gas everywhere! Yamashita sets up as many tubes she can find in a pile. Yamashita hits a sitout crucifix bomb into about 15 light tubes to get the win, punching her ticket into the NGI against Atticus Cogar tomorrow. This was awesome.
Winner: Rina Yamashita
Clean the ring, add more tubes, the main event is here!
Main Event: G-Raver & Jimmy Lloyd vs Alex Colon & Masashi Takeda
From one wild deathmatch to another. Wild brawl to start this out, Raver and Lloyd putting aside their differences to be a team tonight. Colon & Takeda send them crashing into the tubes early after a brief tease. Takeda rolling in broken glass like a madman. Takeda breaks a tube in Raver’s mouth! Colon carves up his forehead. Raver is gushing. Lloyd is just stunned on the outside. Colon and Takeda working Raver over and TAGGED IN AND OUT WITH LIGHTTUBE SHOTS?!? We have tags in deathmatches? No wonder Lloyd is refusing to help his partner….not that he’s even ON the apron. Colon & Colon just killing Raver. Running knee through tubes in the corner. Lloyd back in to break up the pin! Lloyd saves Raver from a double superplex. Raver with a senton to Colon on the top buckle. Raver with double knees into Colon and tubes for two! Takeda breaks it up! Takeda attacks them both and carves up Raver’s head with a giant pair of scissors! Lloyd with his first real offense, hitting colon with tubes and setting up Takeda in a fireman’s carry for Raver to springboard off of to hit a meteora to Colon! The scissors are back! Also I dont think we’re caring about tags anymore. Colon with a double stomp and suicide dive with a light tube to the front row (eeesh). Takeda sets up a pane of glass on chairs. Colon sets up a table. Takeda sentons Lloyd on the glass but it does t break?!! Takeda cannonballs the glass pane himself to get the break. Sick bastard. Raver gets Colon on the table and dives from the equipment through it. Raver back and trying to finish off Takeda. Colon back and throws a tube bundle into Raver’s face. Takeda hits a razor’s edge while Colon assist with a double stomp to get the win. Takeda and Colon celebrate but butt heads slightly as they may find themselves across the ring from each other tomorrow. This was utter chaos. Takeda is a madman.
Winners: Colon & Takeda
