Game Changer Wrestling 2/25/2022 - Welcome To Heartbreak
Here's what I saw:
The Briscoe Brothers vs Jacob Fatu and Juicy Finau
Mark hits some nice chops and did a huge bump for a Fatu palm strike. Jay did a nice hurricanrana on Fatu and Mark got samoan dropped through a chair. Fatu hit his handspring moonsault then Finau hit a big splash. Mark hit a nice dropkick on Fatu. Mark then jumped off a chair, over the top and tope con hilo'd Juice, going into the 2nd row.
Mark set up a door in the corner and threw a chair at Fatu. Jay then got overhead suplexed into the door. Fatu then did a pop-up samoan drop and Finau senton'd Mark. Fatu then top rope swanton'd Jay for 2.
Mark was thrown into the seats then Fatu tope'd Jay into the seats. Jay dove on Juicy and broke a chair then Fatu dove on Mark and broke a chair. Juicy Finau got into it with Starboy Charlie who was on crutches, then he dove on them off the stage.
Mark slammed the door over Finau's head. The door got put on a chair and Mark elbowed Finau through it to win.
It ran a little longer than it should have but this was a wild brawl that I really liked. Tons of dives here and various chair shots in front of a hot crowd.
This went on forever. I started the review and started making a sandwich when it was clear I wouldn't like this, then actually finished the sandwich before this ended. This went something like 20 minutes and was as indy as it gets with botches, tons of big moves and endless kickouts. They also used a door here too for good measure.
Ninja Mack vs Mike Bailey
They do a karate bow and then do karate stances at each other. They both counter their karate attacks and Ninja lariats him over the top. Both go over and both land on their feet, then kick each other at the same time.
They both do flying kicks at each other and Ninja gets kicked and lands hard. Mike goes into the wall then drops double knees on Ninja's back. Mike hits a flurry of kicks in the corner. Ninja goes up top and falls back only to hit a kick then he gets axe kicked. They both miss running SSP's and Mike does a corkscrew flip. Mack then does a capoeira move into a tornillo.
Ninja misses a 450 then tope's him. Mike then gives him one back. Mike is on the apron and Ninja handsprings into the ropes to knock him over, then does some flips into a backflip over the top rope onto him. Mack climbs a ladder and goes up on a very steep ledge.
Mike goes up and joins him. They kick each other up high on the ledge then Mack goes through a door with a can underneath. Of course that doesn't end the match and they flip off each other in the ring. Mike then buzzsaw kicks him for 2. Mike hits a hard superkick to the face then Ninja Mack just kips up and kicks him. He then goes up top and gets caught on Mike's shoulders, then hit with a version of the one winged angel for the match.
The match started off cool and they dangerously went up top. Mack got thrown off it but of course that couldn't be the finish. He then popped up and did a flip after like he was fine. This was as indy as it gets and it's a shame.
Dr. Wagner Jr. vs Homicide
Wagner takes off the mask and teases throwing it to the crowd but then just gives it to the ref. Doc does some poses and gives Homicide the finger. Homicide then does the same to him. They both strut and do poses. Doc armdrags him then they both stand off.
Doc dropkicks him in the head and throws him into chairs. They trade shots and go into the stands. Doc hits him with a crutch. They go back in the ring and Doc puts a chair in Homicide's crotch then chairs it. Doc hits a chair shot then hits la escalera. Doc then surfboards him but gets explodered.
Homicide then hits the top cone hilo through the ropes. They trade chops and Homicide ddt's him for 2. Homicide misses a top rope headbutt and gets dropkicked. Doc then cutters him off the top for 2. Homicide ended up spearing a chair in the corner then got TTD for the Dr. Wagner Jr. win.
The first half was good (though a little too much hotdogging) but both guys kind of slowed down for the 2nd half and it brought it down a little.
Sean Waltman and Joey Janela vs Matt Cardona and Bryan Myers
I'm a big Walman fan. Joey hits a hard back elbow on Myers then back body drops Matt. Pac hits a backdrop on Matt then legdrops him. Matt evades a bronco buster but Pac flip dives him. Pac and Joey hit a double elbow on Matt. Myers hits Pac when he runs the ropes and Pac decks him, then gets nailed by Matt.
Matt and Bryan then split Pac's legs. Matt's wife Chelsea Green chokes Pac on the outside and Matt tells Pac to suck it. Pac makes the hot tag and Joey crossbodies off the top rope. Joey then death valley drivers Myers.
Joey hits a rebound german on Myers then lariats him over. Chelsea gets right in the ring and canadian destroyers Joey while the ref isn't looking....and of course he kicks out of Bryan's pin. Matt hits the broski boot on Joey for 2.
Ryder gets in and hits hard boots on Pac and Joey to put them down. Joey hits a sunset flip powerbomb from the top on Myers. Pac comes in and hits some spin kicks then Matt tries for a hurricanrana but is powerbombed down. Pac then hits the bronco buster on Matt and tries to do it on Bryan, but gets hit in the crotch. The two split off in pairs and do bad Frye/Takayama spots.
Matt misses a 2nd rope dropkick and gets a michinoku driver. Matt zigzags Joey over the top rope then a door is brought in. Matt accidentally hits his leg drop on Bryan through the door then Joey topes Matt. Pac hits a facebuster then Joey top rope elbows Matt for....another 2.
Matt chairs his opponents. Joey is put Bryan's shoulders then Matt blockbusters Joey off of them. Pac hits a facebuster off the top through a door and wins it.
This went way too long and they did too much. It just never ended for no real reason. If they cut this about half way through, it would have been an alright match, but it just went on and on. I didn't like the canadian destroyer being used as a mid-match move either.
Overall thoughts: They did too much and went too long in almost every match I saw. These matches would have been so much better if they did about half of what they did.
