Devil’s Last Dance Ultimate Hardcore Team War Match

Alex Misery, Magic Inc. (Cody James & Jake Dumas) & The Miserably Faithful (Judais & Max The Impaler) (w/CJ & Father James Mitchell) vs. Koa Laxamana, Magnum Muscle (Dak Draper & Mims) & The Miserably Faithful (Gaagz The Gymp & Sal The Pal) (w/Kallies)

A mess of a match. Horrible story and gimmick here. Action was sloppy but Max looked like a monster sort of.

1 / 5

Loser Leaves Town Match (Special Referee: Rolando Freeman)

Brady Pierce vs. Rush Freeman

A horrible match outshadowed by an interference and a prolonged horrible “shoot” with Cardona and Billy Corgan.

.5 / 5

NWA World Junior Heavyweight Title Pillar To Post Match

Colby Corino (c) vs. Joe Alonzo

This was a really fun falls count anywhere. Corino is a good champ here and these matches he excels in.

3.5 / 5

Rock N’ Roll Tag Team Match

The Head Bangers (Mosh & Thrasher) vs. The Southern 6 (Alex Taylor & Kerry Morton)

The drinking stipulation here was awful. The Headbangers aren’t relevant in the slightest and this was just a boring garbage match.

.5 / 5

Submission Match

Jax Dane vs. Blake Troop (w/Chris Silvio Esq.)

A submission match with one guy completely out of his element and little heat between them from the crowd. This wasn’t anything good.

1.5 / 5

NWA World Women’s Tag Team Title Match

Pretty Empowered (Ella Envy & Kylie Paige) (c) vs. Natalia Markova & Taylor Rising

This was a fine match. Nothing special but compared to most the card so far even an average match is acceptable.

2.5 / 5

NWA National Heavyweight Title Burning Lake Brawl Match

Silas Mason (w/Ricky Morton) (c) vs. Chris Adonis

A big man hard hitter. Nothing amazing and the crowd wasn’t into this at all it seemed but it was a solid big man match.

2 / 5

Six Man Tag Team Riddle Box Match

The Brothers Of Funstruction (Ruffo The Clown & Yabo The Clown) & Violent J vs. La Rebelion (Bestia 666 & Mecha Wolf) & Vampiro (w/Jerry Other)

This went way too long. A really boring gimmicky brawl type match that just dragged on with endless nonsense.

1 / 5

NWA World Women’s Title Match

Kenzie Paige (c) vs. Ruthie Jay

This was fine. I never felt the title was actually gonna change but it did have some good moves.

2.5 / 5

NWA World Tag Team Title Medieval Knights Of The Round Table Match

Blunt Force Trauma (Carnage & Damage) (c) vs. Knox And Murdoch (Mike Knox & Trevor Murdoch)

The stipulation here being you can only finish the match by putting someone through a round table is weird considering the ring area only had normal tables. The crowd for this was mostly dead and the match itself really wasn’t that fun.

2 / 5

NWA Worlds Heavyweight Title No Limits Match

EC3 (c) vs. Thom Latimer (w/Kamille)

This was a super boring main event. Ending it with an interference was even worse.
