ICW “Insane 8” 2022 (Wrestling Review)

ICW

Insane 8

Waukesha, Wisconsin

July 31st, 2022

 

ICW World Title Anything Goes Match
Drake Daniels (c) vs. Joey Avalon

A non deathmatch opener that at 6 and a half minutes felt way longer. A basic non DQ normal low card indy match. A run in, a door spot, and just a lot of being bored. 

1 / 5

Insane 8 2022 Quarter Final Death Match
Mickie Knuckles vs. Eric Dillinger

Solid deathmatch opener. Some close calls and good spots here. Moved along a bit slow at times making it feel longer than it was but their passion here worked to counter that. 

2.5 / 5

Insane 8 2022 Quarter Final Doors Of Death Match
The Carver vs. Orin Veidt

A sluggish match with plenty of misses. Carver just doesn’t do deathmatches well really from what I’ve seen. This moved along slowly with not really anything memorable from it. 

1 / 5

Insane 8 2022 Quarter Final Fans Bring The Weapons Death Match
Satu Jinn vs. Remington Rhor

Another solid deathmatch just ultimately uneventful. Both men are great and had some solid moments but it didn’t feel like either did much here. 

2.5 / 5

Insane 8 2022 Quarter Final Trailer Park Death Match
Neil Diamond Cutter vs. AKIRA

A fun match between Akira and NDC. Ring was littered with smaller items, this was a deathmatch of just random items at times it seems. Nothing special but at least consistent enough to be entertaining. 

2.75 / 5

Insane 8 2022 Semi Final Death Match
Orin Veidt vs. Remington Rhor

For being a semi finale this was just lackluster. Slow and uneventful for two good deathmatch guys. 

1.5 / 5

Insane 8 2022 Semi Final Death Match
AKIRA vs. Eric Dillinger

Another deathmatch were it seemed severely lackluster. A few spots then a lot of slow parts in the second half

1.5 / 5

Insane 8 Title Insane 8 2022 Final Death Match 
Orin Veidt vs. Eric Dillinger

A good finale to this lackluster event thankfully. A lot of cool spots, good deathmatch action, tons of tubes used, and even with the few moments that didn’t look great the match was solid enough to be enjoyable. Rather lame finish though sadly. 

3 / 5
