Ah, IWA Deep South - there's deathmatch wrestling, then there's shitty deathmatch wrestling, then there's IWA-DS. IWA Mid-South's uglier cousin. The Carnage Cup is their yearly deathmatch tournament and it's usually good for a laugh, but I've never watched an IWA-DS show that wasn't all deathmatches, so I'm not expecting much out of this one...
IWA Deep South - March 16th, 2013 - The Cage of Carnage
Jake 'The Man Scout' Manning vs Joe Hogan is up first. Joe Hogan looks like a used car salesman. Oh, apparently he's a city councilman. Fair enough. Commentary guy says "What d'ya get if you cross a man scout with Jerry Lawler? I don't know, but he sure likes eating brownies". Hah. Pretty standard heel goon vs hometown champ match, Hogan retains his whatever title.
Up next, CHOO CHOO!!! Freight Train vs Kaos vs Big James. Lol, Freight Train keeps calling Kaos 'kosher'. "Dis belt staying on my smooth bellay and I'm walkin' out of here with da W. Dat stand for win.". Kaos offers a beer to Big James and then knocks him to the floor and laughs in his face as The Freight Train makes his way to ringside. CHOO CHOO!! Kaos punches the crap out of Big James, but bounces off of Freight Train's smooth belly. He hits a DDT and Train sells like Cena. Big James has done nothing but get beat up. Freight Train hits some 'strikes' and then Kaos...I don't know what the fuck that was. Kaos spears Big James and hits a shitty ass drop off the top rope. Freight Train breaks up the pin by touching Kaos very lightly on the shoulder, who then rolls off James. Freight Train looks very pleased with himself, lol. The crowd are kinda bemused. Freight Train chops Kaos like a young Ric Flair, but Big James scores with a Stinger Splash! Kaos throws him outside, but Freight Train hits Kaos with a devastating leg drop! Kaos kicks out at 2! Freight Train hits the running forearm and it's over. Freight Train retains! CHOO CHOO!!
Kaos hits...something;
The most vicious leg-drop in all of wrestling;
CHOO CHOO!!
The Batiri vs Some Local Dudes is next. Kobald scaring kids in the crowd...wait, why the fuck are there so many kids in the crowd? Hopefully their parents aren't planning to stay for the deathmatches. This isn't a bad match. Local dudes are pretty good. Ophidian tweaks his knee badly and they have to rush home to the finish, the smallest local dude 'hitting' a 630 senton on Kobald for the pin.
Tim Donst vs Chrisjen Hayme - haha, the look on Donsts face when he sees the shit-hole he's wrestling in. Some nice arm-work from Hayme in the outset, but Donst thumbs him in the eye. They do a criss-cross, but Chrisjen ducks under the ring and surprises Donst from behind. He won't stop running the ropes. "STOP!" Donst pleads, only to be thrown to the floor. Hayme puts him in a wheelie bin and then botches running it into the post. He rolls Donst back in, but Tim scores with a nice snap suplex and goes to work. Hayme fights back. His offence sucks. Hayme crashes and burns on a 450. Donst rolls him up, but Hayme counters and pins Donst for 3. Meh.
Here we go, deathmatch idiocy iminent! This is a Tai Pei, Gusset Plates & Carpet Strips Deathmatch! It's John Rare, the moron who let another moron stab his arm with a box cutter a few years back. And some other dudes I've never heard of. Bryant Woods. Jay Impact. The White Russian. God, there are still so many really young kids in the crowd. What the fuck, Alabama? People are quickly thrown into the bundles of carpet strips in the corner. Ugh, they're trying to wrestle. The White Russian is awful. Jay Impact is awful. This is SO SHITTY. Woods is bleeding from the carpet strips and goes back-first into a board of gusset plates. Impact's back is bleeding pretty badly from the carpet strips. AWFUL plancha from Woods. Just awful. Now there's thumbtacks all over the place. More shitty wrestling. Impact is fucking AWFUL. Woods wins it with a sit-out burning hammer through a carpet strip board on the outside. Looked nasty. And awful.
The finish;
Ah, main event time. It's THE CAGE OF CARNAGE! Freakshow vs Matt Tremont vs Spidar Boodrow vs Josh Crow. This promises to be...dumb. The cage is full of light-tubes, glass panes with light-tubes glued to them and some barbedbire for good measure. Josh Crow looks and sounds like the result of many generations of inter-breeding. Oh god, there's shit on top of the cage too. This one's going to be a mess. It's Freakshow! Big pop...sorta. Fuck, his forehead is ridiculous. Tremont & Freakshow beat up the other two goons. Tremont headbutting a light-tube bundles into Boodrow, Freakshow hitting Crow with his kendo stick. Tremont & Spidar have already bladed. Tremont's bleeding a TON. Dude shouldn't cut so deep. Crow finally fights back against Freakshow and scores with a light-tube to the fucking ear! Crow switches to Tremont and gets knocked the fuck out. Freakshow and Boodrow try to wrestle and Freakshow hits a backdrop into a pile of light-tubes! He throws a damn plate of glass into Tremont's face. Fuck. Tremont fights back and hits the Bull Frog Splash to eliminate Freakshow, the champion. Now it's just down to Tremont & Spidar. Tremont puts him through a bunch of light-tubes and goes up top, but Spidar throws him off into yet more tubes and scores the pin to become the new IWA Deep South champion! What a prestigious honour. Absolutely no one even though about using the platform on top of the cage. Or the ladder stuck to the side of the cage. Or the gusset plates. No one ever wants to use the gusset plates because they're fucking nasty, so deathmatch promoters should really stop using them as gimmicks. Anyways, what a complete shitter of a show. Tremont puts over Spidar post match, but says he'll get his revenge because Carnage Cup 2013 is coming soon! YAY! I can hardly wait.
