Last time GCW came to Los Angeles Joey Janela had to Escape from LA, this time around it’s SLIME LANGUAGE! Below are the results of the show along with some miscellaneous notes (and maybe some bloodshed) along the way. If you like what you read and want to watch the show for yourself, you can stream it at Fite TV here.

Pre-Show Notes:

  • Spoiler alert – there was no slime at the show. There was language though.
  • Your boys from the Wrestling Examiner were at the show and made it out it one piece! Give us a follow and share the column wherever you can please!
  • The show started exactly on time, which doesn’t always happen at indie shows so nice job GCW!
  • There was so much insanity on this card I could barely keep up! For all the awesome spots I’ll be noting there were tons more I didn’t get to make note of but were equally incredible.

Match One: Alex Zayne Vs Blake Christian Vs Jimmy Lloyd Vs Eli Everfly Vs Jordan Oliver Vs Arez

WINNER: Blake Christian won with a twisting top rope splash.

Match Two: Mance Warner Vs Matthew Justice

WINNER: Mace Warner won with a knee to the head following a missed elbow drop off of a 700 foot ladder through a door by Justice.

  • This was the only official deathmatch on the card and it was the deathiest deathmatch I ever did see.
  • Sakuda struck first with light tubes and busted Veidt open.

  • Kikutaro hid behind a fan to avoid an outside dive by Tornado.
  • Kikutaro made his way back into the ring and refused to fight Tornado outside.
  • Kikutaro tried thrice to turnbuckle splash Tornado in the corner, each time getting a kick to the face. The only successful attack Kikutaro pulled off was whipping the ref into Tornado.
  • Top rope drama as the battle of who could knock off who first commenced. It ended up being a draw.
  • Kikutaro tried to whip the ref into Tornado again, but Tornado reversed the ref back into Kikutaro and ate a headscissors takeover from the ref, which led to Tornado hitting the match winning elbow drop.

WINNER: Nick Gage won via two piledrivers.

NOTES:

  • More than a few times I lost various parts of matches to the shifting crowd. This match everyone was on their feet from the start so I lost more of this match than the other matches.
  • Atlas tried an outside dive but Gage threw a chair at him at what looked liked 90 MPH on the radar gun.
  • Atlas FU’d Gage through a door on the outside.
  • Nice moonsault from Atlas got a 2 count.
  • Atlas got booed when he didn’t get all of Gage with a broken door shot. When Gage got a hold of the door he fully connected and the crowd popped.
  • Gage dodged the LGBDDT and hit piledriver #1 onto Atlas for 2.
  • Post match Gage reminded the crowd he’s a good regular wrestler too (along with ruling at deathmatches) and put Atlas over big. He also put over all the other matches on the show, and the fans too, saying the fans make him want to die for GCW.
