GCW
Ride Or Die
Chicago, IL
June 23rd, 2023
A decent opening match. Some good moves but an unexpected win.
2.75 / 5
Two really good spot guys here. A lot of big moves and the crowd was into this.
3.25 / 5
Egos pre match promo was great. This was a solid match even if Ego should have won personally and LuFisto isn’t close to Egos size so this match up was odd on paper alone.
2.75 / 5
Still not a fan of Oliver at all but this was a solid match. Felt a little laid back compared to what we know Komandar could do though.
2.75 / 5
Honestly this wasn’t that great. Thalia Hall doesn’t allow glass so this was an 8 minute very light and generic hardcore match with no blood.
1.5 / 5
A solid scramble match. Bit odd to make 2/3rd of the people in it unknown by the crowd but its going towards their GCW vs New South PPV. Some good moves here and everyone impressed me.
3 / 5
What a horribly botched ending. This was fine but just too long for what it was.
2.75 / 5
Vikingo messed up a spot and might have hurt his leg some but then went right away to pulling off an even more insane move. His move set is insane to see even if he does them every match. This was fun once it got going. It wasn’t the nonstop spot fest you’d expect but the ending was atrocious. I get it was likely to save both guys from someone having to lose and giving Blake Christian heat but man what a way to ruin a match.
3.5 / 5
This was a fine match. Gringo Loco as a Chicago guy was super over. Didn’t care much for the end though with the fake finish and match restarting.
3 / 5
