i think they don't bother me as much to look at because they look like movie stills and so my brain registers the blood and stuff as make up. i've scrolled past worse in this topic. that isn't an invitation to be more gross. these pics are still dumb but interesting that a little photography skill can take the edge off.
Hear, hear.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
That has happened a ton of times.
Remember what I said about "10th level carny shit" a couple days back? Yeah.

these are pro pics so it was actually kind of interesting to look at, but sometimes you get these awful gory pics someone probably took on their phone and y'know, people are eating while browsing sometimes, or don't want to see depressing photos of low paid people with no boundaries humiliating and cutting themselves up.
just put the pics behind something anyone who wants to see them can.

I actually quite enjoy any exploding electrified barbed wire matches, especially cage matches. Onita vs. Hayabusa in Onita's first retirement match is one of my favorite matches ever.
Are there any other good ones? I happen to remember one between Tenryu and somebody where Tenryu got pushed into the cage just as the time bomb went off, but I've never been able to find it.

Nah, that's the best one.
BJW did a few exploding barbed wire board matches some years back, but that's it. They normally stick with light tubes, razors and that shit.
This is my second favorite match. It had wargames stipulations, which is a huge plus.

There are matches with really good wrestling + ultraviolence as well.

I didn't make it up to the first set of pics you posted before... 😱😱😵😵
It's all hit and miss in my eye. I prefer deathmatches to have some sort of storyline or at least some type of storytelling in the match. A random deathmatch just seems stupid in my eye. The last deathmatch match that I seen recently that was considered good was Cage of Death 2014. I loved that match because all four wrestlers were trying to kill each other for the gold.

Or maybe WWE is pissed that a Kevin Steen figure could be out on the market before A Kevin Owens figure can get out. It would seem petty, but since it potentially affects merchandising since WWE is poaching Indy talent more aggressively now, it would actually make sense to nip it in the bud.

Sick stuff, I know. But hey, we're in a June Ultraviolent thread.
Will link them next time.
Strong style Nikki...
Doubt that is it. Vince / Triple H probably want Gabe for his foreign connections.
He's always known how to get in with those places and breaking into China before WWE did probably got him on their radar.

It's not mutually exclusive. China would be a big factor, but merchandising, if that plays a role, would also be a big deal to a company like WWE.
That sounds like a big ask, real_slime. People that enjoy death match wrestling a tend to be reaction fetishists, pushing gore onto others against their will.
Notice how everyone in that crowd has their cell phone out? They're recording, so later they can walk up to family members and co-workers with one simple question: "Hey dude, wanna see something awesome?" It's their desperate attempt for a cheap thrill. They want to watch their faces as they cringe, or pretend to enjoy it as their mind searches for a convenient excuse to leave.
So no, real_slime, I don't think Corpsepyre intends to take the photos down. He wants one more cheap thrill that his Facebook timeline no longer provides.
Exept WWN Live has never been that big on the merchandising side. They don't even produce that many t-shirts and certainly don't keep up with DVD releases.
So if merchandising was an issue here, they would be going after Ring of Honor, not WWN Live.

Yeah, I've taken them down entirely as I didn't know they were to be linked. Way to go on the assumptions.

Heading to the NXT show in Cleveland Friday, and I would sincerely appreciate advice:
1. Especially to those who went to the show on March, anything one should know in advance? i.e. - when best to arrive for a good spot, where to park, what not to do at the Agora
2. Any Cleveland GAFfers recommend a great underrated spot to grab a meal?
Have most of the trip planned, but I want to fill out the rest with suggestions from the locals. Thanks in advance.

Two separate things happening then. Maybe WWE is buying into WWN Live for its China relationships, and it's separately pissed about the Steen figure.
In other words, Lord Cena is squashing Owens like a bug Sunday.

Most likely, and if WWN Live stuff includes talent deals....WWN Live works with a lot of the major non ROH and TNA talent out there.

There are rare occasions where an ultraviolent death match can be very compelling. But it's rare. And very few things in wrestling illustrate diminishing returns as clearly as an ultraviolent deathmatch tournament, IMO. It's really hard to not glaze over after a while in a tourney, or a show that has a lot of gimmicks thrown out there.
Plus, if you are pulling that level of insanity out there, you'd better have a ton of fans in the seats and making money, or you're just being stupid.
It's much better IMO to have an angle build and build and build up to a violent match, like a street fight, and have that match be a singular event on the card.
My favorite example of this that I have seen lately was the Street Fight for the Inspire Pro championship between Dirty Andy Dalton and The Centerfold, Matthew Palmer. It didn't have glass or light tubes, but boy, was it violent. The build was so good the crowd wanted desperately to see every bit of violence Palmer could inflict on Dalton, and the stakes were high, with a stipulation that Palmer would have to leave Inspire Pro if he lost. Within the first 90 seconds of the match, the canvas was covered in Andy Dalton's blood and hair, and it just got crazier from there, but it was still mostly stiff brawling and wrestling moves. Certainly there were extremely dangerous wrestling moves, involving stuff like chairs, ladders and a table, and some 90s Japan caliber head-drops, but they were wrestling moves nonetheless. And it all made sense. It was a great violent, visceral match that was totally appropriate for the audience.
There are certainly a few ultraviolent deathmatches that reach the kind of brutal artwork of a match like that, but they are few and far between, IMO. That's why I'll pretty much always prefer a classic southern-style or Texas-style dramatic gimmick match to an out-and-out ultraviolent deathmatch.
