Forrest Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) The Grocery Store Deathmatch is actually my second favourite match of all time, so I can't tell you how incredibly delighted it would make me for you to review it. I appreciate that I have terrible taste in favourite matches of all time, by the way. Edited August 3, 2012 by Forrest

Richie Freebird Posted August 3, 2012 Author Posted August 3, 2012 The Garbage Store Deathmatch is actually my second favourite match of all time, so I can't tell you how incredibly delighted it would make me for you to review it. Garbage store? I take it this is a different one from the grocery store deathmatch I posted the cover art for on the previous page? Give us the details of it (promotion, competitors etc) and if it
Forrest Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) I meant Grocery Store. This thread's given me Garbage on the brain. EDIT: Not that's a bad thing. Edited August 3, 2012 by Forrest
Gladstones Bitch Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Here's a compilation I found on Youtube the other day which might interest you Richie, I remember a fair few of these matches especially the one involving the flame-thrower in disc 1 BJW Blood & Death History Dics 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k25TfAmZ9c4...feature=related Disc2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKlWJOkPVVU...nel&list=UL Disc3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Se3aAZ4pBn4...nel&list=UL Disc 4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGuDsKCcvoU...nel&list=UL

G-Unit Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 That looks fantastic Richie may have to check it out! Just finished this years TOD and was very impressed. Was DJ Hyde seriously hurt as he rushed out of there pretty soon. Hopefully my copy of the carnage cup 08 arrives today!

G-Unit Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Yeah Gages arm was awful so I suppose they can't afford to take the chance. Carnage Cup 08 turned up today so will thoroughly enjoy watching that this evening before the UFC!

Forrest Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Amazing! That's my day made! It really is just the most fun match ever. Richie did a fantastic job of conveying the carnage, but the only way to live it is by watching the damn thing. The tear-jerker saga of the guy who cuts their arm (sad music and all), the guys hitting each other with obsolete consumer electronixs, the fucking Brass Band! It also pinpoints the main fault, in my eyes, of American Deathmatches. I'm as big a fan of obese people being stabbed in the arm with box cutters as the next, but it just lacks the spark of creativity and insanity that the Japanese infuse their deathmatches with by putting them on an island, or the abandoned set of a family sitcom or an unsuspecting town market. In America. It's [weapon x], [weapon y] and Lighttubes for every match, but the Japanese promotions have fun with it, adding in bizarre effects, sad music and the like. I'm really surprised there hasn't been an American fed that's tried to mimic the home-video random municipality deathmatch carnage, to be honest. They'd be shite at it, but I'm still surprised nonetheless.
Snitsky's back acne Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 I saw the 'Big Japan Shopping Mall Brawl' years ago and still have it on an old video tape gathering dust somewhere. I guess the 'fighting in weird places' title must now go to Kota Ibushi. Recently bought a DVD of matches of his that take place in a book shop, in several shopping malls, in a street, at a funfair in the rain, in a forest and at some sort of concert. Bizarre but truly unmissable - Ibushi doing a flying headscissors from a seated position off a swing is quite the sight to see.
