The East West Specific (Jordan Oliver & Nick Wayne) & Mike Bailey def. The Rock N Roll Specific (Ricky Morton & Robert Gibson) & Kerry Morton
Two for 2 on enjoyable matches. I actually loved Kerry’s annoying heel work as the middle of the match. Ricky’s destroyer continues to be a enjoyable spot. Congratulations to Mike Bailey for lastly discovering himself on the profitable facet this Wrestlemania Weekend. ***¼
Dragon Gate Traditional (Dragon Child, Kzy & YAMATO) def. Reiwa New Era (Ben-Okay, Kota Minoura & Shun Skywalker)
This was simply the match of the present and having Jae on commentary was a terrific contact. That is the match you count on to see if you hear there’s going to be a Dragongate six man on the present. The graceful offense, the enjoyable spots, Shun Skywalker being an asshole, every thing was right here. Dragon Child hits the Bible to win as you may hear Shun faintly whining within the background. This one is price your time. ****¼

Matt Cardona def. Blue Kane Ache
This was enjoyable, regardless that it ran just a little lengthy. Clearly overbooked, however that’s what it wanted. We had a wheelchair pushed off a stage. We had an urn with blue ashes. We even had a 2011 Zack Ryder cosplayer. Cardona wins after a fireball and a Radio Silence. A great time/5
Wonderful Pink def. Gringo Loco
This match wasn’t dangerous, but it surely didn’t land for me. They labored arduous, but it surely was sloppy at factors and felt just a little uninteresting. It did have a terrific ending stretch although as Pink wins with a killer poisonrana, double stomp, frog splash, and Code Pink sequence. ***¼
I Stop Match
Mance Warner def. Effy
Superb video bundle earlier than this match. It didn’t want virtually 25 minutes, however the hatred was there. Effy made positive to refill on his cool I Stop one liners earlier than the present. This didn’t attain the degrees of violence I used to be anticipating till the arrange on the finish, however they labored arduous. Good end as Effy quits when Mance threatens to take a drill to Allie Katch’s head whereas Effy was ziptied to the ropes. ***
Maki Loss of life Kill (Maki Itoh & Nick Gage) def. Ramhausen (Danhausen & Ram Kaicho)
This wasn’t for me. The comedy in the beginning of the match didn’t work and the work after that wasn’t inspiring. Maki Loss of life Kill wins with the MDKokeshi. **
GCW World Championship Match
Blake Christian (c) def. Joey Janela
This was completely too lengthy. The match began with a Blake Christian management phase that fully took the air out of the gang, they usually couldn’t get them again. Christian wins after Missy Hyatt activates Janela. **¾
