Snitsky's back acne Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) Good write-ups Richie, I was going to initialise your username but it turns out to be RF which is very unfortunate, especially on a wrestling forum. Anyhoo, if you don't like Kenzans then you won't like gusset plate deathmatches: Yeah, what the fuck are Gusset plates anyway? I thought the razor blade chairs Drake Younger and Thumbtack Jack used in their SAW death match were pretty sick, but I hear these are even worse.

I thought the razor blade chairs Drake Younger and Thumbtack Jack used in their SAW death match were pretty sick, but I hear these are even worse. From Wikipedia: Gusset plates are thick sheets of steel that are used to connect beams and girders to columns or to connect truss members . A gusset plate can be fastened to a permanent member either by bolts, rivets or welding or a combination of the three.[1] Gusset plates not only serve as a method of joining steel members together but they also strengthen the joint.[2] They can be used in bridges and buildings along with other structures. Also the person who asked about the fool who got pretty messed up from the shopping trolley full of light tubes was called Blood and it happened in a student Battle Royale/Rumble at CZW Tournament of Death 4. The same match was also the first glimpses of Danny Havoc. EDIT: Blood's incident at TOD 4: Ouch! Edited March 1, 2012 by Rule One Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adorable Adrian Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Masashi Takeda vs. Ryuji Ito from the July 30, 2010 Big Japan Show is an absolute bloodbath. Takeda suffered a nasty cut to his eyelid due to glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rule One Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) Anyhoo, if you don't like Kenzans then you won't like gusset plate deathmatches: It’s not that I don’t like them, as such. They would be fine used on the back, arms, or pretty much any other body part. I just think that hammering them into the skull with chair shots is asking for un-necessary trouble. Hit one of them in too hard and you could break a skull. We’ve seen the trouble they had getting them out of Kobayashi already. Even just putting them on the head would be okay, I suppose. It’s just the “hammering in” aspect that I think will end in tears. Check out the "other uses" section in kenzan's wikipedia I like neither, they are unnecessary just like cinder blocks, syringes, electric saws, non tempered glass and all the other bullshit that has come along in recent years. The US deathmatch scene is dead and no amount of shock tatics is going to revive it. However I'm depraved and will happily watch people fuck themselves up for little to no money. Richie, are you going to compile an injury hitlist to accompany this? Edited March 1, 2012 by Rule One Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was me that was talking about that, that match was hilarious, a student ultraviolent rumble is just asking for trouble isn't it? That was when I was watching the odd deathmatch so I guess I'm pretty behind the times, some of the spots that have been come about in the last 7 years are way too extreme for me.

I'd never heard of a kenzan before opening this thread, I can't fucking believe the shit with them I've seen in here, it's so grim! I can take the blood and light tubes and barbed wire spots and stuff, and risky high spots and shit but there's shit going on now that is gonna FUCK YOU UP no matter how well the spot is pulled off, surely that's not the point? Having said that though, give me a few more days in this thread though and I reckon I'll be proper desensitized to it all and well up for watching it. AAAARRRGGHH!!!! What the fuck?!!?!?! PS; Nice review Ritchie, a fun read again, keep em coming. Does this retarded Uncle Fester Abdullah dude live in the states? I can't imagine it would be worth traveling from Japan for these whack paydays. Edited March 1, 2012 by Steve 'Big' Jobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine it would be worth traveling from Japan for these whack paydays. No, BJPW and CZW have some kind of a working agreement. DJ Hyde (CZW owner.) will more than like have flown him in on his own expense. Like Britwres promotions they'll usually throw in with other promoters to spread the cost out. Something is clearly tapped in Kobayashi's head. The fucker eats glass as a sideshow attraction too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted March 1, 2012 Moderators Share Posted March 1, 2012 It's such a weird, grotty little subculture, I'd love someone to do a proper documentary about it. It's a shame Louis Theroux's already done wrestling, as he'd be a good fit, although the perfect call would be Werner Herzog. Werner's got a dim view of normal wrestling though, let alone this shit.

G4 did a little piece on CZW and deathmatches a year or two back. Wasn't great but gave a small insight, as you said, it would be interesting to delve deeper into it. Just the sleaze alone is enough to do a mini-series. I remember years ago, Tarrant on tv featured the weedwhacker shot from TOD 1, Chris himself was not amused by it.

Rule One Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Louis is revisiting either Wrestling or Porn can't quite remember. It's porn. Shame really, he could at least attempt to blur the two as deathmatches are wrestlings equivalent of porn. Very seedy, not many people will admit to watching it and even when they do, it more than likely that they do it on their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
