The heat was killing them I think. I agree. And I don't blame the wrestlers, I blame GCW. As a promotion they should have taken things like having a show at 3pm (around when it seems to be the hottest all day) outside in Florida in April with no shade whatsoever into consideration. That's very unprofessional. They're a top tier indie, they should be above garbage like that. I'm an avid defender of GCW, but yeah, it's undoubtedly a misstep. Even a 'roof' over the ring would have helped.

I'm shocked that Moxley actually did the job for Barnett...

Every show I look in on makes me less excited for Spring Break tonight.
I freaking love GCW normally, but lately they've been doing too many "bundles" of shows and it spreads the product too thin. We are getting entire cards of stuff that would normally be the opening match on a GCW show.
I hope I'm wrong and it f***ing rules though.

I think it will, I mean Gage and RSP has basically been building for how long now? No way that's not going out without a bang. Dickinson vs Janela is pretty nailed on to be great too and Atticus vs Masada will be one of the most brutal matches of the weekend, so for those three matches alone it'll be worth tuning in for. When GCW are on, they're still fantastic, I think they've just felt the weight of carrying the entire Indie scene through the pandemic at times and with limited resources too.

Spring Break off to a hot start. Starboy vs Starkz showing the future is in safe hands and an impromptu Iron Beast appearance to get us warmed up.

Really fun show. The lucha tag was fantastic. Both Cogar/Masada and Gage/RSP lived up to the hype.

Coming up soon, Effy's Big Gay Brunch
Featuring Effy vs some twink boy in a Soul on a Pole match, and Edith Surreal still being advertised as Still Life for some reason?

I don't know how Indy shows have been running outside for like 20 years, and going from Gay Brunch they still don't know how to deal with wind on the mics. That's amateur shit that $20 on amazon could solve.

From Joeys awful announcing, ring cameras that look like it was shot on a phone, to technical issues like this. We’re living in the future. The biggest indies shouldn’t have production that makes ECW Hardcore TV look amazing by comparison.

IWTV usually covers the production stuff

Just saw Spring Break. Holy shit! Most of the Collective was garbage this year, but THIS is the GCW I know and love!

i could be wrong and it could just be a recent thing as I don’t follow GCW too closely but it seems like between Gage and RSP world champions hold onto the titles for a very, very long time it’s like give someone else the belt already cause I’m sure Gage is gonna hold the belt for a long time again

And I guess putting it in the middle of Fight Forever was a no go because thst was always gonna be a slog to actually watch.

In other news, Alex Colon revealed the new GCW Ultraviolent title at the end of (the rather disappointing) Planet Death which looks to be what most of their Deathmatch guys will be focusing on now. Even Nick Gage who was on commentary confessed that he might actually prefer that title so don't be surprised to see GCW split into two divisions once Nicky eventually drops the World title again.

That and Kevin Gill's Horrid commentary are why I so far haven't paid for a GCW show since SPring Break 2.
