I didn't like their CZW and didn't think much of this either even though I would say it's far better than the aforementioned CZW match. I really like Riddle, but his constant no sell fighting spirit bits are moments I could do without. Starr I haven't really gotten yet and he's too thigh slap friendly for my liking.

Looking forward to the MLW card this Thursday: Unsanctioned Match: Low Ki vs. MVP MLW World Title Tournament Semi Final: Matt Riddle vs. ACH MLW World Title Tournament Semi Final: Shane Strickland vs. Jimmy Havoc Fans Bring the Weapons Match: Joey Janela vs. Darby Allin Sami Callihan vs. Brody King Último Ninja vs. Garza Jr. Jimmy Yuta and Jason Cade vs. the Dirty Blondes Barrington Hughes vs. Vandal Ortagun Maxwell Jacob Friedman vs. Lance Anoa'i

I got a chance to re-watch this again as I loved it live and had seen it previously, but forgot to post about it. Anyway, it's a pretty fantastic match between these two. Not sure if I'm more impressed by Cobb ragdolling Riddle or Riddle deadlifting Cobb. The match is worked pretty evenly. It starts out slow with them keeping it clean as they're friends and it eventually breaks down and they go all out on each other. Cobb does a fantastic job throwing Riddle around and cutting off his hulk ups and Riddle is pretty great at deadlift suplexing and hitting Cobb with some brutal strikes, namely with some stiff knees that bust up Cobb. The finish was awesome with Riddle nailing Cobb with a brutal knee.

This is my new favorite shoot clip:

https://twitter.com/WalterAUT/status/969265942705434624 WALTER pretty much says the rumor in the WON that he received an offer from the WWE are not true.

During Markus Crane vs. Shlak at GCW Hit 'Em Up, Lowlife Louie brings out a gigantic mirror and the deed with a CC and a straw/folded dollar bill and they do the deeds or at least it looks like they did the deed.

This has the potential of being the best card this weekend.If only GCW would take more of this type of approach regularly instead of the buffoonery it does with having death match workers sniffing cocaine mid match... Buffoonery? It is called WORKING!I don't mind death matches, but having guys shoot/work snorting cocaine during death matches in front of children who are in the crowd is not cool...

I'm not a ZSJ fan by any chance, but check out his matches with Darby Allin, WALTER and Chris Dickinson this year. They're quite fantastic.

This is an odd/fantastic list.

Can't believe Elias didn't take his stool and the guitar into the pod with him. It would have been awesome if he played the guitar and sang throughout the match until it was his turn to enter.

Is it a safe to say Sasha's going to turn on Bayley at some point during the match? Edit: Yes.

Mickie's entrance was fiery. She was packing some heat behind those elbows.

Watching GCW Hit 'Em Up from last month and the Headhunters were on the card. They looked as out of shape as they usually did and gassed out 10 or so minutes into it despite only having brawled around ringside. One of them also botched the finish by teasing a top rope moonsault like the good ol' days before slipping and falling to the mat. This was also the first regular GCW event I've ever seen aside from the Joey Janela Spring Break show and it's my last regular GCW show as it's utter trash.

If anything, the last thing to worry about in the Joey Janela vs. Great Sasuke match is blood and/or a piledriver...

Talk about throwing a wrench into things... I can see some indy show having a rudo referee for the match trying to stop a técnico from doing a piledriver, only for a ref. bump occurring and a rudo hitting a piledriver for the finish.

This is the stuff I dig. Big dudes beating each other up. However, this is more so a WALTER beatdown for the most part. Excellent experienced monster vs. upcoming underdog story developed. I'm convinced Davis' wasn't really selling for the most of this and was just physically broken. Overall, not quite on the level of WALTER vs. Thatcher, but still very good stuff. I think I can safely say WALTER is my favorite wrestler to watch today. ***3/4

Yeah, I didn't like this as much. I thought this was a poor mans version of the ZSJ vs. Darby Allin match from EVOLVE. I'm not a fan of ZSJ and his act and this was everything I dislike about him taking to the max. Here he basically takes the cute exhibition submissions to the extreme. The commentators made it worse for me by oozing over every ZSJ movement. I did dig Bate's counter to guard kimura with a modified piledriver. Not my thing.

Talk about it here.

Fred Yehi has parted ways with EVOLVE.

Add Tom Lawlor vs. WALTER to Matt Riddle's Bloodsport.
