Game Changer Wrestling 4/17/2026 Gringo Loco’s The Wrld on Lucha

 
We are in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Thoughts: It was a spotfest as only it could be. We got some cool spots with RQ's handspring sitout powerrbomb being the coolest spot. No one botches too much and they didn't overdo it that bad so it was an okay opener.

Thunder Rosa vs. Julissa Mexa

They compete for cheers and shake hands. They trade waistlocks. JM trips her then rolls her around. Rosa hits shots to the head to escape and JM tries a pin on her. Rosa rolls her into a pin then crossfaces her. Rosa armdrags her for 2. Rosa pulls her by the hair.

Rosa hits kicks on her then death valley drivers her. Rosa bangs JM's face off the buckles. They fight on the buckles. JM top rope moonsault slams her for 2. Rosa hits forearms, slaps and a backhand. Rosa fire thunder drivers her and wins.

Thoughts: I'd say it was about average. They didn't have a great flow to it. The trips outside hurt this a little and it was a not a great bout. I don't think they got some of the stuff down between the various moves and spots. Both girls also have some limits. 

Mexa Boys (Noisy Boy & Spider Fly) & Briyante Jr. vs. Mala Fama (Toxin & Latigo) & Rey Horus

They totally messed up the intros for this with the Mexa Boys coming out too early. The mic cut off and there was no music for either team.

They all shake hands and The Boys hit triple superkicks. The Boys then do triple tope con hilos outside. Lat (purple) takes a springboard reverse headscissors from Spider.

Bri 2nd rope step up top con hilo's outside. Horus enzugiri's Noisy in the corner. Horus rolling bodyscissors bombs Noisy off the top and pins him.

Thoughts: They tried but it wasn't that good. The faces were sloppy. Toxin couldn't kip up. They were clearly working together at times and it should have been a lot better than it was. Noisy came very close to dying here when he tried to moonsault off Toxin. 

Galeno del Mal vs. Jack Cartwheel

JC puts his head in Mal's chest and Mal shoves him away. JC dropkicks him and lands on his feet. JC dropkicks him then Mal flying forearms him. Mal chops him in the corner.

They go in, Mal is pulled out. Jack is caught off a flying space tiger outside and spinning ddt's him on the floor. Jack body springboard elbow drops him then springboard corkscrew 450's him. Jack hits his arm on the landing and is hurt and injured. The match is stopped.

Thoughts: It's a shame this ended the way it did. I was looking forward to it. Jack's new corkscrew springboard 450 move always looked like a hard move to land. I hope Jack is okay. This wasn't all that much before the injury. Gal blocking Jack on all of his dives and not just selling them got a little annoying.

Team Dragon Gate (Hyo, Kzy, Yuki Yoshioka) vs. Team Gringo (Gringo Loco, Arez, Vengador)

Loco armdrags Kzy. Kzy casadora armdrags him. They botch a spot and Loco gyrates at him. Kzy armdrags him, ducks a shot then does the worm. Kzy then dances. They shake hands and danceoff of it. 

Arez and Yuki go at it. Arez wristlocks him and Yuki reverses it. Arez headflips out of it. Yuki blocks a flying headscissors and does a la magistral. Yuki flips out of Arez's monkey flip.

Loco and Hyo dance. Loco is superkicked in the face then Yuki suplexes him for 2. Arez overhead kicks Kzy. Arez takes a powerbomb + top rope blockbuster combo. Yuki tope con hilos outside then Loco does the same. Veng does the valiente special outside (walk up the ropes blinde moonsault). Veng takes a flatliner then a canadian destroyer. Hyo 2nd rope diving cutters Veng for 2. 

We get a dangerous Loco double crucifix driver. One of the DG guys lands bad on his neck. Veng cutters Hyo and Arez top rope double stomps Hyo. Logo top rope moonsaults Hyo and pins him.

Thoughts: It got enough time to play out. It was okay but nothing too special. The top rope double crucifix bomb spot was so dangerous. This was all about the flying and spots as expected.

Lucha Extrema - El Desperado vs. Vipress

There's really only one way to work these matches and it's to have the male cheat and be a jerk which turns the female wrestler into the face. We didn't get that here. It was a straight 1v1 match without them playing up size differences. They overdid it with canadian destroyers and top rope bumps through tables not really meaning all that much. I was expecting barbed wire, glass and that kind of stuff but they just stuck to doors and chairs here. And that's fine, just Despy does that kind of stuff all the time, so I don't know why he didn't do it here. The crowd wasn't super hot for this, or really anything on this show and I don't blame them. Despy won this with an angel's wings on chairs. I didn't think it was anything special.

Overall thoughts: The show was just so-so overall. The opener was acceptable. Rosa/Mexa was average. The trios match with The Mexa Boys had a lot of sloppy moments and the faces were just of their game. Galeno/Cartwheel ended early due to injury. Team Dragon Gate vs Team Gringo was the best match of the night but was just okay. The main wasn't something I was going to enjoy but it was not the bloody hardcore match with glass and light tubes that I was expecting. The crowd was also not that good here. I'd give it a 4 out of 10 as half this card really wasn't that good.

Game Changer Wrestling 4/16/2025 WWE ID Championship Tournament

Game Changer Wrestling 4/16/2025 WWE ID Championship Tournament

This is a pretty big deal as WWE is basically lending it's name to an indy. This oddly aired at the same time as WWE Evolve and four people on this show were actually on the Evolve show.

Thoughts: It was short and fine. Zara won as expected here. It wasn't great or anything but they kept things moving and I had no issues with it. Hopefully Swipe Right getting involved leads to something.

Zara has words for Zayda after. All of Swipe Right gets in and Zay hits Zara from behind. Zay hits an unprettier on Zara. Izzy and Zara are both sent out of the ring.

Smoks gets on the mic after. He says remember when Jordan Oasis had a banger match and got everyone on their feet? He says me neither. He says Jordan and Izzy suck and don't deserve to be ID'd. Smokes says you gotta surround yourself with successful people to be successful.

Brad says just to look at them to know all about WWE ID. Brad says they do whatever they want. They say they will prove they aren't all talk when they win tonight. They say they will make sure someone becomes the first WWE ID champ.

They clarify that the WWE ID Tournament is double elimination.

Thoughts: The crowd this one as well by not really reacting to anything. To their defense, there weren't any real clear faces or heels here and the match wasn't too great. I don't know what Rourke is doing or who it's for, but I'm not it.

WWE ID Men's Title Tournament First Round Triple Threat Match - Atticus Cogar vs. Ice Williams vs. Aaron Roberts

Thoughts: It wasn't bad. There was nothing too great in it though. AR doesn't move bad for being such a big guy. I'm not sure why this was a 3-way match and other matches weren't. That's kind of unfair since some people only have to beat 1 person to advance.

Swipe Right attacks Ice after. Ice takes a pendulum slam from Brad. Zayda gets on the mic and says Ice sure does look like a winner right now. She says that's what will happen to Ice on Friday. Zay says Kylie Rae is an idiot if she thinks she will be the ID Women's champ. She says her name is already on the belt.

Thoughts: It wasn't that interesting. The work was pretty average here and there wasn't much of a story. I think people assume Kylie is great because she has a name and has been around for so long, but I've never really seen that. Zay's probably a better personality than a wrestler at this point.

Thoughts: This went too long and wasn't that great. They really focused on chairs here and that only gets you so far. The idea and logic was fine but it just went too long and wasn't super spectacular.

The ref helps Sam up. Sam lariats him after.

Jones top rope elbow drops Brad for 2. Drake top rope hurricanrana's Jack then dropkicks Jones off the apron. Jack takes a super swipe and is pinned.

Thoughts: This went way too long and the crowd was awful all throughout. They tried and the match made sense and all but it was too long and just never felt like it would end. Jack overdid some of the cartwheels and flips here and made what he was doing look fake.

Sean is beaten up by Swipe Right after. Smokes M. Bison stomps him. Freedom Ramsey comes out to help and gets beaten up. Jordan Oasis comes out to help. Ice Williams then comes out.

Sean says he's still standing and says Ricky Smokes is in trouble if that's the best @ss kicking he can give. He says he will show why legacy is always super on Friday. Ice says he will see the bootleg Brad Baylor at FSW and says he will put him in the freezer. 

Overall thoughts: It was a long show with an awful crowd. The crowd didn't react at all and ruined every single match due to it. The matches also all went long and just weren't that impressive. It was a hard show to sit through that was boring at times. I would not recommend this one at all and would just give it a 4 out of 10, almost all due to the crowd.

Game Changer Wrestling 1/26/2024 Look At Me

The first half was okay then it just kept going. I didn't like AJ getting powerbombed by the smaller guy here and I thought they did way too much.

Los Macizos (Ciclope & Miedo Extremo) & Rina Yamashita vs. Gahbage Daddies (Alec Price & Cole Radrick) & Mr. Danger

The two teams charge at each other and miss. Rina's team takes triple superkicks. Cole hurricanrana's Ci then Price springboard crossbodies him. Danger springboard legdrops Ci. Price hits knees on Ci then takes his headphones off. Price suplexes him for 2.

Rina then top rope splashes Danger and wins it.

It was garbage as expected as it was a hardcore intergender match. Rina's dives really looked weak here and Mr. Danger's dives were the only good part about this one.

Tony Deppen vs. Mansoor

Mansoor is flipped out of a wristlock. Mansoor armdrags him and Tony rolls through with it then arm throws him. Mansoor walks up Tony's knee and takes him down then arm flips him three times. Tony forearms him down then Tony puts his own shirt over his face. Mansoor then dropkicks him.

The first few minutes were good, then Tony's shorts got pulled down. It then dragged, going on for another 10 minutes and lost my interest.

The Fatu's pose on the apron and get dropkicked. Jay then tope con hilos through a hula hoop onto them. Jacob goes into the post. Zilla is euro'd > tripped > double stomped.

The Fatu's hit headbutts then Jay handspring back enzugiri's Jacob. Zilla spears Jay through a door then Jacob pop-up samoan drops Black. Jacob double jump moonsaults Black. Zilla samoan spike slams Black and wins it.

They did way too much here and didn't sell much at all. There were tons of highlight moments here with moonsaults to the outside, people going through tables and lots of flips.

Zilla looked good here and like Jacob, has a ton of potential. He's big, he's agile and he's scary. I'm not sure how many matches he has had, but he's way better than he should be at this stage. I just don't know how the Anoai/Fatu family just keeps producing talent like this. I'm a big believer in genetics determining some things in people's lives and this family was created for wrestling. These guys seriously need to be studied and cloned or something.

I hadn't seen The Mane Event for a while, but they've really upped their in-ring work and are a lot better now than they were on AEW Dark. They have a gimmick as well and if Jay Lyon could just drop some weight, they'd be a lot more marketable. I could see them getting a deal with TNA if nothing else.

Local Competitor vs. The American Giant

So, The American Giant has been around since the 1990's, even making an appearance on WCW Saturday Night. He's tall, he's old, he's thin and he looks like a crazy version of Christopher from The Sopranos. Local Competitor is a wrestler named Faboo Andre. LC tries shots and gets nowhere. He's swatted down while in the air and is thrown into the buckles where he really bumps like crazy for him.

Giant throws him off the top then pins him with one foot off of a chokeslam.

This was a freakshow match and was indeed something different. The American Giant can't really move or do much and Local Competitor really bumped like crazy for him to the point of it being comedic. Giant is basically doing comedy.

Joey Janela tells Giant he's impressed by him after. Giant starts a USA chant while Joey talk to him. Joey asks him to come to another show. Giant asks if people want to see him and he agrees.

MM flips off the 2nd rope and his leg gives out. Blake springboard 450's him and taps him out with a combo texas cloverleaf/sharpshooter.

I didn't think it was anything special and I wasn't impressed with the selling of the leg, or lack thereof. 

Shane beats up MM some after. Joey Janela then comes out and wants to fight. Blake said he beat him 3 times and asks what he wants. Blake asks him to put his title on the line and then says he will put his own title on the line too, making it a title vs title match. Joey agrees. Joey said they are making a mockery of GCW and Joey says he is GCW. He then says it's time to finish his story and win the title. He said people will find out that he's a bad boy and the GCW champ.

Overall thoughts: It was a GCW show. It's as indy as it gets. They do put together some interesting matches and bring some interesting people in but it doesn't lead to quality most of the time. They did way too much in almost every match and everything was basically under hardcore rules. Rush vs Cartwheel was entertaining and maybe the best thing on here. Zilla Fatu had a good showing, though they did way too much in his match. I wouldn't recommend this one.
