Variety Pack Reviews: GCW, OVW, PWA, ACTION
HEY! Here’s a bunch of OTHER stuff from the past weekend, because the six full shows from AEW, WWE, NJPW, and TNA were not enough.
This one’s a premium tier post. It’d be a great time to get a high value, one-year sub! You’ll be set for pretty much all of 2025 and there’s going to be a lot of work put in next year, similar to what we’ve seen recently. The scope will be expanding for good and the year will be starting very hot, let’s say it that way.
In this set:
Man Like DeReiss vs Rich Swann (GCW, 12-13)
Effy vs Juicy Finau (GCW, 12-13)
Megan Bayne vs Dulce Tormenta (GCW, 12-13)
Jaden Newman vs Alex Kane (ACTION, 12-13)
Tim Bosby vs Bobby Flacco (ACTION, 12-13)
Michael Spencer, Cosmo Cooper & Rhys Angel vs North Shore Wrestling (PWA, 12-14)

GCW Scene of the Crime

Phoenix, AZ
This is DeReiss’ final weekend on his U.S. tour, or at least on this U.S. tour. He’ll be back. I’ve yet to really get into DeReiss, but it seems like something that’ll happen, I just haven’t watched a lot of him yet, but I know he’s well-liked his peers. I know Rich Swann’s whole style well enough, and as I’ve mentioned before, I think that’s the best way to get further familiar with someone still newish-to-you, watch them against people you know well.
Now I’m also not expecting to think this is a Great Match. What I expect is a bunch of hee-haw and what have you. And yes, we get Swann doing his strut and split and whatnot. He wants DeReiss to show him what he’s got, so DeReiss does a little bit, pops and locks, reverse worm. A little more silly billy and then DeReiss decides to have a wrestling match to the great disappointment of Phoenix’s GCW faithful.
Oh, DeReiss just nailed him with that clothesline, used Swann’s speed and momentum against him. Love that. Folks, there is a baby at the GCW. They are fighting by the baby at the GCW.
The baby is chill as hell about it. No concerns. No worries.
