GCW “Rock N Roll Forever” (07.03.2022) (Wrestling Review)

GCW

Rock N Roll Forever

Evansville, Indiana

July 3rd, 2022

 

Singles Match
Calvin Tankman vs. Jordan Oliver

An okay opening match. Tankman is always solid but I just don’t enjoy Oliver in ring. Just super bland as always and it showed here. Nothing more than a forgettable match sadly. 

2 / 5

Singles Match
Tony Deppen vs. Kerry Morton

Deepen is a really good wrestler and personality. He also carried this match. It was fine and had its moments but thats about all that can be said. Kerry has potential but a ways to go.

2.5 / 5

Singles Match
Axton Ray vs. Nick Wayne

Two young guys with a lot of talent and time to perfect it. A fun quick spot fest. Not the cleanest but still really good. Wayne moves like his idol Ospreay and with how young he is could one day rival him. 

3.5 / 5

Singles Match
Shane Mercer vs. Blake Christian

Mercer was hurt so this was a shorter match. Nothing special but at least Blake had to use a lot of weapons and big moves to put him down.

2 / 5

Six Man Tag Team Match
The Second Gear Crew (1 Called Manders, Mance Warner & Matthew Justice) vs. The Bloodfighters (AKIRA, Alex Colon & Dale Patricks)

SGC vs a mishmash of other hardcore / deathmatch guys. A fun hardcore brawl at that. The beginning brawl around the venue was lackluster but it picked up. Some good door spots and Matt Justice jumping off a stupidly high area. This was exactly what you’d want for this match since its not a deathmatch. 

3.5 / 5

Six Way Scramble Match
Nate Webb vs. Carter Gray vs. Larry D vs. Jimmy Lloyd vs. Alec Price vs. Yoya

Your typical GCW scramble. Some nice spots, a lot of missed action, slow moments, and just nothing to make it stand out. A finish that seemed unexpected or off too. 

2 / 5

Singles Match
Joey Janela vs. Cole Radrick

A really solid match with Janela and Cole. Cole who also just got out of the hospital from a deathmatch injury. It was a bit long and slowed down in parts but really good. Cole has become a deathmatch heavyweight so its nice to see him back in a normal match. Janela always does well with people too.

3 / 5

Singles Match
Dark Sheik vs. Billie Starkz

A really bad womens honestly. Billie has improved a lot lately but this match didn’t show it. Between some really sloppy moves and moves like her dives which were slowed to a snails pace. The crowd wasn’t behind it and neither was I. 

1 / 5

Tag Team Match
The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express (Ricky Morton & Robert Gibson) vs. The Rejects (John Wayne Murdoch & Reed Bentley)

A lot of talking from The Rejects then Rock And Roll Express come out. I mean lets just say this for what it is, RnRe are old and shouldn’t be doing much. This match showed it. A few moves, a light tube spot shockingly, and end of match everyone goes home happy seeing their final appearance here.
