Pops & Botches: GCW’s Bring Em Out – 9.6.2020

GCW Indies Pops & Botches

 

Welcome back, everyone! I have returned, from my break, after dropping FIVE Pops & Botches nearly two weeks ago! This weekend, I deliver to you some hot and fresh P&Bs from GCW latest! Are you ready? I said, Are you ready? Just kidding, I’m not doing that. Let’s dive on in to GCW’s Bring Em Out!

First things, first.

POP: GIF Lord

Follow Sir Lariato on Twitter if you don’t already. They are the best wrestling GIFer out there. Following them years ago was one of the best Twitter decisions I’ve ever made and exposed me to a world of wrestling I was missing. If they gave out Pulitzer Prizes for GIFs, Sir Lariato should be at the top of the list.

POP: Card Subject To Change

The first match on the card was Jordan Oliver versus Benjamin Carter, Originally, it was suppose to be Alex Zayne taking on Benjamin Carter, but . . .

That sucks, get well soon.

Lucky for us though, Oliver is a very good replacement! These two got the show off to a great start with a fast paced match. Which, no surprise with the talent involved, provided us with some good highlights.

Finish came not that long after the spinning tombstone, when Oliver hit Carter with a pumphandle looking driver. I would give you the name of the move but, it happened so fast, I’m not sure what I even saw. Very good match from these two. Also, I am happy to report, Carter listened to me and did NOT go for three consecutive dives, as the third one always fails.

POP: A Wrestling Match!

Chris Dickinson and Alex Colon. Now, before you get two excited, it was a standard match. Seriously. Now that I’ve braced you for that, you have to know that it was a pretty good match. These two took there time to work submissions and target each other’s leg. They still beat the crap out of each other and a chair did get involved.

Ouch.

I really enjoyed this match, as these two can adapt and are very familiar with a variety of styles. Dickinson grabbed the victory when he submitted the defending Tournament Of Survival Champion with an STF. Hope we get these two again soon.

POP/BOTCH: Maybe its just me.

So, the next match was a match I was really looking forward to. The Gatekeeper of GCW, Tony Deppen went head to head with Calvin Tankman. Now, I love these two, I love them immensely. Unfortunately, I didn’t really love this match. Something felt off, at least to me. Now, I don’t want you to think this match was terrible, it wasn’t.

I’m pretty sure the above move is now called, Tope Con Wiggum, according to Deppen

Tankman wrecked shop and gave Deppen an ass kicking but, Deppen stole a win when he rolled up Tankman and pinned by putting his feet on the ropes for leverage. Again, this wasn’t a bad match. Something just felt off to me. Anyway, I love them both and I hope they don’t hate me for this match not truly clicking with me.

POP: Tag! You’re It!

Hey, look! KTB and Shane Mercer are a team now! And, they’re called, Iron Beast! I’m into it. Iron Beast took on Tre Lamar and Lee Moriarty and, these four guys delivered a fun tag match, that gave you all the flying and hard hitting action you’ve come to expect from them.

I’m really digging KTB and Mercer as a tag team, guessing GCW does too. Kudos, to Lamar and Moriarty as well, those two keep getting better and better each and every time I see them. The finish came when KTB powerbombed the shit out of Lamar and then tossed him to Mercer, who hit a bridging german suplex for the win.

POP: Meow, meow, meow, meow. Meow, meow, meow, meow. Hey, hey, hey. Goodbye!

Allie Kat’s here to issue an Open Meow-llenge, and it was answered by none other than “All Ego” Ethan Page. Page, though, didn’t want to fight Allie, he just wanted to talk some shit and issue an open challenge his own. After some back and forth between the two, Page decided to face Allie and even put his career on the line. What an ego on that guy. Luckily, this wasn’t a Broken Rules Match and, thankfully, neither one of them took a bump that had us all holding our collective breaths thinking we witnessed the ending of a man’s life. The match was short and Allie beat Ethan Page with a backslide. Wait? Ethan Page’s career is over? He’s retiring?

Not really, it was all a set up for Joey Janela to come out and ask Ethan Page to be a part of the Clusterfuck at Joey Janela’s Spring Break 4 on the weekend of The Collective. Page accepted and his career has been revived! Hallelujah!

POP: Hoss Fight!

Next up, we had Mance Warner taking on AJ Gray. Warner and Gray polled the crowd. shortly after the bell rung, asking them if they wanted a wrestling match or if they wanted to watch Warner and Gray beat the shit out of each other. It was unanimous. BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF EACH OTHER!

These two beat each other from pillar to post and the match ended when AJ Gray choked Mancer out. Good, fun match that didn’t overstay it welcome and gave the people what they want. Now give AJ Gray his title rematch GCW!

POP: Scramble time! Aw, this fucking guy!

Ah, yes, my favorite part of the show, The Scramble Match! The match that always delivers the goods! Our participants are: “Scramble King” Jimmy Lloyd, Cole Radrick, Ace Austin, Dlyn McKay, and Nate Webb.

What?

No.

I don’t want to!

Fuck. Fine. The sixth person in the scramble is 44.OH’s Atticus Cogar.

THAT GUY SUCKS.

How much does he suck? He interrupted Nate Webb’s entrance. He denied us our full serving of Wheatus’s Teenage Dirtbag! I hate you Cogar! You’re the second worst member of 44.OH now!

Anyway, the scramble delivered the goods once again, giving us everything we could want or need.

The finish came after that very cool laddersault, Nate Webb hit on Dyln McKay. Unfortunately, Webb was unable to secure the victory because, Atticus Fucking Cogar tossed him out of the ring and stole the win by pinning McKay.

(Screams into the void)

Anyway, great showing by all involved, breakout performance goes to McKay who was making his debut.

POP: Daddy and his Bad Boy

The first of what was said to be three main events, was a match between EFFY and Joey Janela. These two are know quantities at this point, so you know you’re going to get a good match. Also, with a Janela match, you’re going to get at least one big bump.

Things seemed to be going EFFY’S way at that point but, Janela was able to take control and pick up the win after a super kick. Post match, saw Janela invites EFFY to be a part of Joey Janela’s Spring Break 4 and announce he would be attending EFFY’S Big Gay Brunch during The Collective weekend. He also said he would be bringing a friend from AEW to the Brunch. Hmm, I wonder who? Maybe that “Fucking Idiot” John Silver? The options are limitless.

BOTCH: (Insert Picture)

So, next up, we had Matthew Justice versus Rickey Shane Page in a non-title match. Unfortunately, the feed was lost for most of the match. I haven’t gone back to watch it yet, not sure I will. As much as I love watching Rusty Slap Pud. . . I mean, Rickey Shane Page get his ass whooped, I don’t have the energy. Fuck 44.OH.

POP: Dream Match

Blake Christian versus ACH. This match ruled and you should definitely check it out. I’ll bless you with two GIFs and send you on your way to buy the replay on FITE

I’ll mention the finish because, Christian hit the elia to beat ACH. Shocking? Damn, right it was shocking! ACH has been on a tear since his return. I did not see him losing this match at all. Big things are definitely on the horizon for my Ginger Messiah in GCW. Or, this is the first of several matches we’re getting between the two.

That’s the show, folx! GCW delivers again and, I can wait for the next show! Make sure to follow them on Twitter for updates, pretty sure the next time out for GCW will be at The Collective. I, though, will be back soon with coverage of Black Label Pro’s empty arena show, Through Being Cool. Sound like a plan? Cool! See ya then!

As always, thanks for reading, be safe, and take care.

Wear A Mask.
