Wrestling's Bloodiest Wars Review

After reviewing the legends edition last month, the producers of "Wrestling's Bloodiest Wars:Death Wish" asked if I would view the ultra violent episode in the series and I took the opportunity to watch the show, which airs on various cable systems.

 Ron Mathis vs. Joe Gacy
The show opens with two upstarts, Ron Mathis and Joe Gacy in a dog collar match from CZW, and chaos ensues immediately, as Gacy waffles Mathis with a chair. A variety of weapons are used in the ring, including a kendo stick, a Sponge Bob Square Pants pinata with thumbtacks in it, and a VCR. Mathis is bleeding, but counters and hit Gacy with a flat liner on a chair. However, the momentum switches again, as Mathis climbed to the top and Gacy used the dog collar to send him crashing through a chair. The action spills outside of the ring and Gacy hits a power bomb on the ground, which he followed with another power bomb on the apron. Eventually, the competitors make their way into the ring and Mathis mounts a comeback, as he uses a running power slam to put Gacy through a door. After the furniture was smashed, Mathis used a pile driver on thumbtacks to get the win.

Bestia vs. Masada
This is an ultra violent underground match, where they are only two groups of spectators and it looks like something similar to Fight Club. Masada, who is a twelve year veteran, is a hybrid competitor and despite his extensive career in death matches, he was actually trained at Shawn Micheals' Texas Wrestling Academy before he began his career in 2002. During his notable career, he worked in Big Japan for eight years on a full time basis,which is very rare for foreign wrestlers. Masada also had a lengthy run as CZW world champion a few years ago and he was one of the top stars for the company. A combination of injuries and political hurdles led to his departure from CZW last year, but he currently still wrestles in Texas regularly and various other independent shows. It's somewhat surprising that Masada hasn't had the opportunity for more main stream exposure because as mentioned, he can wrestle a variety of styles. Bestia is the son of lucha legend, Damien and his few American appearances for the defunct Extreme Rising promotion impressed fans. This match is a complete brawl and they battle outside the building mere minutes into the match. The two exchange chair shots and stiff chops before Bestia hits Masada with a piece of dry way, which prompted him to stumble into the venue. Another sheet of dry wall to the head and Masada is bleeding, but he counters as the momentum switches again. In what could only be described as insane, Masada sticks BBQ skewers into Bestia's head and as they are sticking in his head, the luchador begins to bleed as well. A ladder is bridged between two chairs and Bestia lands a hurricanrana, which sent Masada crashing onto the ladder. Eventually, Masada power bombs Bestia on the ladder in the corner and stabs him with the skewers to get the submission.

Matt Tremont vs. Joe Gacy
This is another CZW bout from the series of violent contests between this two competitors and this match is one par with their  previous encounters. Tremont, who won the CZW Tournament Of Death a few weeks ago, is one of the competitors that has kept the death match style relevant on the independent scene and he definitely deserved to win the tournament for his hard work during the past few years. They start brawling around the ring until Tremont hits a DDT and they action goes into the ring. Tremont attempts to stab Gacy with a BBQ fork, but he avoids it and gets control of the fork. Gacy stabs Tremont in the head and The Bulldozer is bleeding. Eventually, Gacy throws Tremont from the top rope onto a wooden crate and it's a brutal bump. Gacy followed up with a boston crab and Tremont refused to tap, but the referee called for the bell after he was unresponsive in the submission.

Ron Mathis vs. Rory Mondo
The fans bring the weapons match provides a wild atmosphere for this battle and Mathis is bleeding minutes into the match after a DDT on a car battery. Mondo follows up as he hits Mathis with a video game system and the blood pours from his head. Mathis counters and hits an STO on the apron, which sent Mondo crashing to the floor. When the action goes back into the ring, Mathis lands a tiger driver, but Mondo counters with a kendo stick shot to the head. Mondo sets up a chair and drops Mathis on it with the burning hammer for the dangerous bump. Eventually, Mathis hits a tombstome from the ropes onto a section the guard rail to get the win.

BC Killer vs. Eddie Carnage
This is another ultra violent underground death match and it represents the insanity of the series. As soon as the match starts, BC smashes several light tubes onto Carnage, but the momentum switches and Carnage throws chairs at him. Carnage hits BC with some light tubes and digs the edge of a light tube into his head as the blood continues to pour during the match. BC uses a staple gun to Carnage's head and he sets up a pane of glass against a wall. BC uses a chair to smash the pane of glass on Carnage and the action goes back into the ring, but Carnage hits a suplex through a pane of glass in the corner. Carnage lights his wrist tape on fire and hits BC with an elbow to get the win.
