Deathmatch interest thread

Surely the deathmatch style could contribute in a case like this?

 

Perhaps it's drugs to deal with the pain? Drugs because of depression due to $25 payoffs and being skint and having to borrow Ian Rotten's Pizza Oven? Depression due to blunt head trauma? Look at Mike Awesome, I refuse to believe that his style had nothing to do with his suicide.

 

Why do you refuse to believe it? Anything could have caused him to be so glum. Maybe he was frustrated that he wasn't more popular. Or maybe he'd run out of Bovril or something.

 

I wonder if anyone has ever committed suicide due to running out of meat extract. Hmm.

That's a terrifying website to read through in full.

 

Basically, if "the blues" do not go away after two weeks, you probably have depression.

 

Shit.

This really shocked me in a big way, takes a lot to render me speechless, but when I heard about this from his family, it shocked the hell out of me. The 2 years that I knew him, he was a far cry from his "Terminator" gimmick when we talked, one of the nicest guys I knew in wrestling. Yet, one of the nastiest, toughest motherfuckers inside the ring.

 

He had his demons as I'm sure some will know, but I never thought it would come to this. R.I.P big man!

My favourite ever hardcore style match is Magnum TA vs Tully Blanchard, and that's because everything is built to the end with the broken chair into the eye. Wrestling is about emotion not braying each other, and that's why I struggle to consider the deathmatch style to be pro wrestling.

 

Indeed. It's just pornography really. Just look at Richie's reviews, which are about 80% pictures. What other style of wrestling is reviewed in that manner?

Blonde guy in that insane GIF is dead, isn't he? Chris Ca$h? Died in a motorcycle accident, IIRC.

Match gets better when you hear the rumour that Tully caught Magnum in bed with his wife the night before.

 

Magnum indeed got with Tully's wife and ended up marrying her, according to Wikipedia.

Look at this idiot:

That looks nutty, but its actually pretty well done by them considering what they are doing. It doesn't look safe, but it doesnt look like either would be that hurt either. If the tables were closer to the crowd, and the crowd were a bit further away from the ring, it wouldnt look much worse to what the big E were doing in the late 90s. It looks worse then it is because Ruckus is going in blind. Still fucking barmy though. I appreciate A LOT could go wrong, but like someone else said there were other crazy things in this match (Jack Evans anyone?). And this was at the peak of CZW's popularity IMO.

I don't think thats relevant. There are plenty of reviews here without pictures. It just makes sense that if you can show a picture of someone falling off a ladder through 20 tables when you describe it then you might as well. I wouldnt buy a magazine that reviewed a wrestling show and not want any pictures, regardless of the style. And this thread is pretty much for people who don't see much deathmatch wrestling and want to know the main bumps and spots, so its easier with a picture. 9 out of 10 people reading this just want to see what happens, and probably skim through the actual text, so Richie is just catering to his "audience".
