XPW

We Are Not Your King

Newark, New Jersey

Jan. 21st, 2023

 

Pre-Show Match
Soultaker vs. Sean Lawhorn

A boring pre show match. Both guys moved with zero speed here and even the light tube spots were boring. 

.5 / 5

Singles Match
Juventud Guerrera vs. Real1

Not a fan of the ore match promos by either guy at all. Felt just empty really. The match itself was fine. Moved along nicely but never was super impressive at all. 

2.5 / 5

Death Match
Lucky 13 vs. The Body

Some sick but not out of the ordinary spots here. Not very bloody or fast paced even for a deathmatch though. 

1.5 / 5

Death Match
Sage Sin Supreme vs. Chelsea Durden

Some good spots here but a slow and sluggish deathmatch. It never felt like it reached a point of excitement really. 

1.5 / 5

Death Match
Drake Younger vs. Big Joe

A really good bloodbath of a match. Tons of light tubes and both Joe and Drake were just bleeding a ton. Joe is one of the hottest newer guys and Drake here showed why he was a top deathmatch guys years ago. 

4 / 5

XPW World Heavyweight Title Hardcore Match
MASADA (c) vs. Thom Latimer

A slow and sluggish match that just never became exciting. Masada isn’t so great in ring anymore and this dragged on for far too long with a horrible finish.

1 / 5

Three Way Death Match
Charlie Bonifer vs. JJ Escobar vs. Kurt Bale

A handful of big dumb spots that between them didn’t flow that well. The chainsaw bit too was beyond dumb as well as there’s no chain and it just looks dumb to begin with. 

2 / 5

XPW Women’s Title Death Match
Ludark Shaitan (c) vs. Lindsay Snow (w/Mother Endless)

A decent bloody match here. Some good moves with the tubes carving each other up. It was just a slower feeling match that never hit the excitement too much. 

2.5 / 5

XPW King Of The Death Matches Title Exposed Boards, No Rope Barbed Wire, Sheets Of Glass Match
SHLAK (c) vs. Necro Butcher

 This had its moments of fun but it was overall messy and not always in a good way. Maga Butcher is a horrendous gimmick here but Necro bled a ton especially when he went through the barbed wire. Horrible ending here though for the match. 

2.5 / 5
