Hugh Thesz Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I though it was Pogo the Clown who had a rep in XPW for taking advantage of folk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're correct in that Pogo did have that reputation, but it's not like there was only one person there who did that. Supreme, Pogo, New Jack, Sabu... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) Less than 15 minutes in to the Nick Gage Invitational 5 and fuck, Mance Warner just messed up some shitarse called Lowlife Louie. Blood flying everywhere like this during the pandemic and fans close together, close to the ring seems daft as fuck.

andrew "the ref" coyne Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 If anyone is interested, a good friend of mine if launching a deathmatch promotion in Melbourne Australia. One of the key owners has experience helping promote shows for both NJPW and Australian super promotion MCW, so certainly got the right guy for the job. You can read more about it:Â http://snapmayorsmedia.com/professional-wrestling-news/australian-wrestling-news/new-melbourne-wrestling-promotion-deathmatch-downunder-is-coming-in-jan-2021/ But their launch video is below.

Â They need to be much more original with the names of their wrestlers. Way too many called "Deathmatch Ready"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 (edited) GCW Seem to have been doing shows pretty much since the pandemic began. Mostly outdoor shows, but still everyone sitting next to each other. Crazy stuff. Â Stumbled across a video of the Necro Butcher from this year on Youtube recently. The comments are turned off, and its easy to understand why. Hes not looking good at all. Plenty from the 2000-ish 'glory days' of deathmatch wrestling are now dead, reading up on it. Justice Pain, Nate Hatred, Trent Acid, Chris Kash, Brain Damage, Supreme, Danny Havoc, JC Bailey, probably other ones Ive not seen as well.

Paid Members Chris B Posted November 16, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted November 16, 2020 Just done a little searching around - that's from February, and in June/July, he announced he was battling cancer. Is apparently in remission and in better health. I'm also blown away to learn he's only 47. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RancidPunx Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 How does it work when death match wrestlers need to go to hospital ?  Like what do they tell the doctors /Nurses happened to them ? Would they ever be refused treatment because they’ve essentially needlessly done damage to themselves ?  Besides isn’t medical treatment crazy expensive in the states ?

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted November 17, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted November 17, 2020 I've also always wondered this. Do they just turn up drenched in blood with glass and thumbtacks sticking out their entire body and pretend they had a DIY accident? My guess is unless it's a proper emergency they close the cuts with glue, slap plasters on and take a shit load of drugs. Most deathmatch wrestlers don't come across as people with their lives together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheffbag Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 im sure it was Necro that did an interview in PS where he talked about it. He was on about being in Canada and patching himself up before he realised they had healthcare up there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Chris B Posted November 17, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted November 17, 2020 I'm pretty sure, in the Vice documentary and some other bits and pieces, some of the 'larger' shows have paramedics around (although I'm guessing they're closer to St John's Ambulance and first-aiders than they are actual paramedics). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
