Jesus Christ it was nuts. One of the bloodiest shows they've had in a while. During Hoodfoots match I kept waiting for that cut on his arm to open up again. I don't mind blood and cuts but that chair shot SLADE did was nauseating.

Monday Night Death was a good show if you enjoy garbage house wrestling.

I know you said not south jersey but H2O is probably only 30 minutes outside of Philly and there's also a post Chikara company in Lehigh Valley that has alot of those wrestlers.

I was living by Lansdale, now I'm closer to Hatboro. The only H20 arena show I've been to was a weeknight and it was a bit exhausting going out there and getting back after working all day. I've been to a bunch of the LVAC shows, and it's the same issue that it's a bit of a hike when it's a weeknight. I was dead on my feet for the ending of Bash at the Brewery and then I had to drive home. I was hoping maybe I was missing something and there was someone running shows in Philly, but no luck I guess.

Does it have Struggles and Ron Niemi on commentary and is there building hot and/or are there inebriated fans?

Struggles was there. I think Ron had a date with LSD. Fans were too entertained to act a fool.

If anyone has independentwrestling tv sub, the Ask MDK vids on the GCW channel are hilarious.

Host:

"Our next question from twitter user XYZ:
Hey Nick, what is your favorite ice cream flavor?"

Nick Gage:
*15 seconds of silence*
What the gently caress kind of question is that?

Then the host eventually pries it out of him and in case anyone was wondering, his fav flavor is vanilla

It's really funny watching Nick just be absolutely miserable answering the dumbest twitter questions.

He's the walking example of everything bad about deathmatches, a modern day Mean Mitch Pain or Wifebeater.

I'm sure if anyone can drag him to a watch i enjoy it'd be Takeda but if is on these shows then I'd rather see him against one of the lesser Freedom dudes like Fukki or Mogami or Kamui

If we're talking about Shlak, no. MASADA can work when he has to and Mr. Pogo was cool. Neither of those apply to Shlak.

It just means a bunch of dumb stuff is going to happen, some of it will be botched, some of it will be gruesome and if Shlak tries any power moves they will look really really funny. The perfect match.

I grew up on FMW, Mr Pogo could not work even when he wanted to. He took like ten bumps during the 90s

Shlak looks so tough and dangerous but has that giant warhammer 40k (or at least thats what my friend told me it is) face tat, NERD

Yeah it looks like the Chaos Undivided symbol or whatever GW are calling it these days.

Shlak looks like a killer and he comes out looking mean as gently caress and you go ‘holy poo poo what a beast this is going to kick rear end’ and then he starts wrestling and oh no.

This was pretty cool though

Yeah I agree I think he's got the terrifying image/physique/persona but his actual wrestling is holding him back. In my opinion deathmatch wrestlers are 100x more interesting when there's actual wrestling, and technically competant wrestling. It makes the show better, and allows the match to build before the blood starts flowing heavy.

Funny how the world works since GCW stopped booking Shlak because he was working ICW.

ICW:NHB has canceled their Houston show to run opposition to XPW in NJ.

I'm not interested in constructive criticism, believe me.
shlak had hands down the worst, but very funny, bloodsport match ever where he bladed himself while he had super beast in a headlock and then took a back body drop and came up gushing, then got DQ'd for biting super beast's toes

saw shlak impale someone on a shopping cart because he couldnt get the guy up for a powerbomb fully and almost break either his or his opponents neck trying to do a technical roll up move

He is gassed to the gills but has no conditioning so he’s tired as poo poo about 30 seconds into any given match.

I just remembered that time he gave some dude a sit out powerbomb onto a filing cabinet and impaled his thigh on one of the drawer dividers lol.

Shlak actually wrestling makes you go "Holy poo poo, someone is going to die" but not in a good way

I'll be honest, I picked a random IWAMS DM regular because I just assumed any deathmatch guys I liked 20 years ago was probably bad, could've just as easily gone for Corporal Robinson or Rollin' Hard. I haven't actually watched any deathmatches from that era since

And still managed to break his neck! Pogo's incredible laziness adds something to his matches, in my opinion. Plus he was pretty cooked by the time he got to FMW - he was much less of a slug in Puerto Rico and smaller US territories before then.

Mean Mitch sucked but Fat gently caress Barrel Boy was a legend.
