The WRLD on GCW @ Hammerstein Ballroom

Saw the last three matches of this show after the Chiefs/Bills game and...I gotta say, I just don't get GCW. Bloodsport? Sure. Some of Janela's shows? Sure. But mainline GCW shows (as well as whatever the fukk Effy thinks he's doing), I can't wrap my head around it. It's like watching an ECW tribute show put on by people who have no idea why ECW worked.

At least Mox/Homicide was alright. I might pick through the rest of the show to see if there's anything worth watching on the undercard.

I watched some of it. It just reminds me of CZW with a bigger budget and a better production value, and lesser talents. Even the booking is CZW-like with all of the dumb shyt going on.

Please tell me he got a “you fukked up!” Chant.

I always got CZW Lite from them. Nothing will ever touch 2001-2007 CZW again. Lots of people give ‘em shyt for their deathmatches, but they had a lot of wrestling matches too.

That Janela vs Cardona match was the biggest clusterfukk I have ever seen in my life.

was this their biggest show ever? it looked like they were trying to push this show as their big "hello" to the world or something. A whole lotta "nikka we made it" energy, like working Hammerstein is the pinnacle so far. If this was their best foot forward, then yeah i'm good on watching this shyt.

I am also very confused that Allie Katch hasn't been signed to a long term deal with TNA already because she has the body type that they like down there in Tennessee.

Shoot for the stars but end up on botchamania, brehs. I almost bought into the hype and watched this show, I’m glad I didn’t waste my time

Her name, look…she looks like she’d be a natural “knockout.” She could take Kimber Lee’s place or some shyt

Ladder match had some truly heinous bumps

Lucha trios had some truly spots

Lio vs other guy was fine

Ryder vs Janela was absolute fukking dogshyt. Just the worst of ECW fukkery, Jarret death reign era TNA fukkery, WWE parody, indie meme wrestling, plus Ryder and Janela are pretty shytty in the ring anyway. I keep seeing all this shyt about Ryder "reinventing himself" and he's just doing the lamest cheapest of cheap heat bullshyt and isn't even doing it well. It could be literally any ex WWE star doing exactly the same thing. It's bad. Janela is bad. All the nonsense in that match was bad. Awful, awful pro wrestling on just about any level you focus on or enjoy about wrestling. The wrestling was bad, the fukkery was completely hackneyed cliches, the execution of Ryder's gimmick is bad, the comedy was bad, the cameos were bad. shyt fukking sucked. fukking X-Pac was the best part and best worker in the match.

Idk any of those guys there for the promo and Sabu spot, but they all look and sound fukking terrible. Playing RVD's theme to celebrate Sabu hitting dudes with chairs
Allie Catch vs Ruby was not good. Ruby has yet to have a good match since leaving WWE

The Last Outlaw Jeff Jarrett The irony of 2022 Jeff Jarrett match not having the TNA fukkery that the Ryder/Janela match had and Double J somehow did manage to reinvent himself as a credible old b*stard beating the shyt out of young stars. The ominous remix of his TNA theme This Effy fella seems not very good outside of his gimmick stuff. His execution of moves and selling seemed really subpar. I had never seen him work, only saw the name online a lot but I was not impressed at all.

Mox vs Homicide was okay I guess. Homicide moving like an old man. B-Boy moved like that in the battle royal, too.

Briscos vs the other white trash sucked even as it was clearly cut short but probably would have been worse had it gone longer anyway.


All the "homegrown" GCW talent ranges from not good to fukking terrible. The only people that shined at all were all the talent known from other, bigger promotions. They kept saying it was the "biggest indie show of all time" and I guess of All In was the biggest indie show of all time over the Sinclair era indies, this was like the big budget CZW/IWA Mid South/RF Video ROH super show from 2003 that never happened. With all the good and bad that entails.

No idea why a new viewer would see that and want to keep up with GCW.

I do want to see what JEFF fukkING JARRETT is going to be up to next in 2022, though

I liked it, y'all doing too fukkin much with the bytching and crying, it's fukkin wrestling and guess what it fukkin worked because it got marks talking and complaining.. it was a good show, the crowd was dope, the interaction between the wrestler's and crowd! Ryder getting that heat, I was highly entertained.
