July 31, 20178 yr comment_5809236 I am looking forward to this project bringing out some discussion on Gypsy Joe. For a guy who is somewhat legendary and influental, he really is hardly discussed. So IWE books a nazi and a gypsy as a team. Is that insensetive? This type of IWE match is the ancestor to all sleazy 90s indy brawls. They fight around the arena to start. Kimura, for a guy who has looked impossibly dull in the 70s, is pretty fun here slapping the shit out of both these dudes. Joe bumps like a motherfucker. Then Krupp rolls in to excite you with his variety of nerve holds, bearhugs and toe kicks! But before the evil nazi can ruin the match Kusatsu comes in and salvages things with an awesome punch combo! Joe kicks him in the dick and Krupp follows up with the dreaded DICK CLAW. Things quickly devolve into chaos with all the guys piling into a salad and the ref rings the bell, but the chaos continues. We also get to see Joe absorbing a bunch of really, really, really hard chairshots. Fun stuff.

In two different IWE matches I've seen him get his head legit, no stopping with his hands, smashed into a table about 30 times HARD and take Rusher Kimura punches to the dome repeatedly without backing down. What do you expect from a guy he got shoot pummeled with a chain, an aluminum baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire, and vicious chair shots by the fucking piece of shit New Jack AND STILL KEPT COMING!
November 22, 20177 yr comment_5821684 Im not familiar with this promotion. This was a super stiff brawl though, very rough chairshots and stiff slaps from Rusher. I really wish this had blood though, that would have added a lot I think.
December 31, 20195 yr comment_5908315 Rusher vs Joe interactions here were really good and Joe being worked over was effective. Both bookended brawls had enough chaos to be enjoyable. They were too many lulls in the middle for this to be classified as good but it was enjoyable and a promotion I want to see more from. **3/4
