Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted August 1, 2012 Awards Moderator Share Posted August 1, 2012 As others have mentioned this kind of madness is beyond me, but your reviews are a good read. Thanks for the work Richie Freebird. Â Just wanted to echo this. I have no interest in ever watching a death match but have found this thread to be one of the best reads on UKFF this year, cheers Richie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Freebird Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) Are these saw matches legal? It seems like they're starting to really take things too far, stabbing someone with a knife is beyond what one could call wrestling and I was a huge CZW fan back in the day. Â I have no idea about the legality of these events. I Edited August 1, 2012 by Richie Freebird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradyisgod22 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 First of all Great thread pal. Those reviews are class and I think im defo going to check out both Carnage Cups with the Saw matches! Â Is there a minimum age for competing in this kinda match in the states? Surley no one under 18/21? And I also half remember something from the UK (possibly scotland?) About a deathmatch involving a schoolboy infront of like 20 people? Any idea on if that was on a paid show for a promotion or a one off for there friends to see who the craziest kid was? Â Also guys just wondering what everyone would say was the sickest spot ever? Im struggling to think from the top of my head but that spot with the electric knife back in the thread looked grim!

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted August 1, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted August 1, 2012 I'm not condoning it, but that stabbing incident sounds about on a par with the Kevin Sullivan / WING Kanemura incident from SMW about 20 years ago. Absolutely fucking ridiculous, all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted August 1, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted August 1, 2012 It may be illegal to let children into these kinds of events though, which is something that does unfortunately happen. i watched a highlight video of some random death match tournament yesterday, and i swear to go there were only about 30 young teens in attendance. It was by far the worst attended tournament ive seen footage of. I can't remember what it was called now, i'll try finding it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rule One Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) Yeah, I'll add the love for Richie's work. Â As for death matches being held. It depends on the state, Philadelphia has a state athletic commission which has certain rules and regularities in place, this is also why light-tubes and a few other things can no longer be used there. Â For a long time, Delaware, home of CZW's Tournament Of Death, didn't have an athletic commission so as long as a promoter had insurance and liability insurance then all was fair game. This year though, TOD nearly didn't go ahead due to Delaware's new rules, AFAIK, everyone participating had to have a blood test done and have insurance. Â Overall depending on the state and venues, each event is under certain regulations or none at all. Â Edit: I did post pictures a few pages back which shown children underneath a rubble strewn ring from Carnage Cup 2012.

Adorable Adrian Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Have you seen many King of the Deathmatch tournaments Richie? 2003 is probably my favourite year for deathmatch stuff with this tournament and TOD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradyisgod22 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Also another question but other than the obvious choices such as, Foley and Funk and the like. Who would be the biggest star to compete in this style of wrestling? And maybe the most talented too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted August 2, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) Richie, to save me looking....you know what happened to any of the XPW death match guys? Supreme, Hardcore Jimmy, The Messiah, Angel etc? The 2nd XPW Deathmatch show was pretty cool too, any chance of a write up on that?
