GCW Slime Language – Recap

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.

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.
