Total craziness going on here. Aramis takes Arez for an airplane spin, while Laredo hits a moonsault/frog splash to the outside.

Jordan Oliver vs. “Blackheart” Lio Rush
Before the match we see a video of Jordan Oliver with a VHS cassette labeled ‘Don’t watch’, and Joey Janela on the phone who warns him not to watch it, Oliver does anyway and it’s a video of Lio Rush under his Blackheart persona that spooks Oliver out and he receives a note under the door with the note 4.9.2021 “Paint it Black”. Rush’s Blackheart persona has a J-Horror element to it, accompanied by a black and white entrance, scary mannerisms, and face and body paint. They start quickly and Oliver hits a cutter dive to Rush on the outside. They start brawling on the outside, Oliver sets Rush on a chair, makes a lap around the ring but Rush stops him and puts him on the chair himself, does a lap, and hits a cannonball. Rush’s actions keep intimidating the referee, and he goes and grabs a door from under the ring to place it in the corner. Commentary mentions Oliver hasn’t to have gone through three matches earlier for the Acid Cup. Oliver ends up hitting a release belly-to-belly suplex on Rush to put him through the door, before grabbing another one. Rush hits 2 German Suplexes, tries a third one but switches to a belly to belly, and puts Oliver through the second door. They fight on the top rope, but both end up tumbling the floor.

Winner: Lio Rush by submission at 22:24
Atticus Cogar vs. Masada
We get a quick video of Atticus talking about always wanting a match with Masada and the things he did to earn the match. This is deathmatch rules with weapons and skew-filled boards all throughout the ring. Right away Masada uses the kendo stick and goes to grab pieces of the broken doors from earlier as they end up fighting on the outside where Masada hits him with the pieces of the doors and starts digging them into the head of Cogar quickly busting him wide open. Cogar comes back with kendo stick shots and drives the skewed board onto the back and head of Cogar as the referee quickly takes the toothpicks off the back of Cogar. Masada continues with more skewers being inserted, going after the eye of Atticus. Atticus goes and grabs a whole bundle of the green 44OH skewers and sticks them into Masada’s skull busting up Masada. Atticus sets up a door, but Masada suplexes him onto the ringside chairs. Back inside, Atticus sticks skewers onto Masada’s shoulders, but Masada pulls mini skewers out of his pocket and digs them into Atticus, and powerbombs him through another door set up, for a 2 count.

They fight on the top rope, and Cogar hits a headlock driver to Masada onto a chair. Cogar brings another weapon in, but Masada breaks it, hits a Death Valley Driver, and gets a 2 count. Cogar with more pin attempts while using skewers in between, but hits a final headlock driver and gets the pin.

Nothing like following a death match with some Lionel Richie ‘All Night Long’ to dance to. They started it off with arm drags and a dropkick exchange. Moriarty sporting some rib tape from the Acid Cup earlier. They trade leapfrogs, but Swann is able to take Moriarty down with a dropkick. Moriarty starts working on the arm of Swann, who takes a breather on the outside. Moriarty continues in and out of the ring with the arm, but Swann is able to build a comeback. Moriarty hits a neck breaker for a two count, as Swann continues to show pain in his arm. Swann comes back with a one-arm springboard cutter, and a frog splash to get a two-count. They start exchanging strikes, chops, kicks, and boots that end up knocking each other down. Back up they trade half a dozen pin attempts, but Moriarty hits a lariat after a failed armbar attempt. They start fighting on the top rope, but Swann bites Moriarty’s injured ribs, knocking him down hitting a 450 Splash for the pin.

Chris Dickinson vs. Joey Janela
We get a video from Dickinson before the match where he says he’s going to cut off the head of the snake that is Janela because this isn’t Tuesday or Wednesday night. Janela comes out with Bam Bam Bigelow-inspired gear and they start brawling before the bell even rings. Dickinson quickly hits a powerbomb and Janela looks out, but Dickinson hits another one and digs and lands knees onto Janela before going outside and grabbing a door that he steps on and breaks on top of Janela. Dickinson grabs a piece of the door and stabs Janela’s head with it causing him to bust open. Dickinson sets up Janela in the corner with the door in front of him and lands a dropkick for a 2 count.

Janela quickly gets back on his feet, hits a rolling elbow, and gets a 2 count. Janela smashes a door on Dickinson, but he comes back with a suplex and a dropkick on Janela. Dickinson instructs the fans to throw their chairs into the ring, and they do as Dickinson uses them and tries to powerbomb Janela into them, but he gets out and hits a superkick and a DDT, but Dickinson comes back with a clothesline. Dickinson tries to go for a superplex, but Janela fights out and hits a DDT to Dickinson on top of the chairs who ends up falling to the outside. Janela hits a suicide dive onto Dickinson who’s now busted wide open, Janela throws Dickinson on top of the chairs and hits a double stomp for a 2 count. Dickinson taunts Janela to hit him with a chair, which he does, he calls for a second one but Dickinson low blows him, hits a Death Valley Driver onto the chairs and Janela kicks out at one. They brawl a bit more, and Dickinson hit’s a Razor Edge like powerbomb off the top rope and only gets a 2. Dickinson grabs a ladder and a door and throws them into the ring, where he sets up the door onto 4 chairs. Janela climbs the opposite side of the ladder, but Dickinson throws a chair onto him and hits a Death Valley Driver from the top of the ladder onto the door and still only gets a 2 count as the crowd chants “Joey Kickout”, as Dickinson starts limping. Dickinson hits a pair of dragon screws, but Janela turns it into a Figure Four and Dickinson taps out.

Gregory Iron (w/ Virgil) vs. Effy
Virgil is a surprise cornerman for Iron wearing a 44.OH shirt and Iron announces him as a “True Spring Break Legend and Hall of Famer, he drips meat sauce and he’s got that fuck money and he’s the newest member of 44.OH. Give it up one time, for Virgil! And Effy I’m not going to be your bitch, and tomorrow the Big Gay Brunch becomes the Big Greg Bunch”. Effy comes out and gets right into Virgil’s face, but Iron hits Effy from behind with a chair. Virgil stands by the apron throughout the match, taunting Effy. They brawl it out a bit until Effy hits a kick in the corner for a 2 count.

GCW World Championship: Rickey Shane Page (c) vs. Nick Gage
This is another deathmatch, with the usual boards, glass, light tubes, and more weapons in the ring, with a scaffold set up outside the ring as well as more weapons. Gage attacks Page before the bell rings and as they quickly run into the light tubes, and Gage starts breaking them and digging them onto the back of Page. Gage amps up the crowd as he keeps breaking them onto Page, and starts biting him. Gage sets up tubes on Page and hits a face wash boot. They start fighting on the apron and Gage hits a twisting elbow onto Page on top of the barbed wired boards set up on the outside. They start fighting in the crowd, and Gage throws Page onto chairs held up by the ‘MDK’ fans. Page comes back smashing tubes onto Gage’s back and digs a tube into his forehead opening him up, as Page is already covered in blood. Back inside, they continue to use the tubes on each other, until Gage takes a back body drop onto the setup glass on the outside, and gets a 2 count for the first pinfall attempt so far. They fight on the apron, and Page suplexes Gage onto a table filled with more light tubes that result in a two-count.

Effy runs in and carries Iron to the back, as Bobby Beverly and Eric Ryan run in to attack Gage. They set up a stack of light tubes on top of a table, and start grabbing glass sheets, at this point Matthew Justice, Joey Janela, and Mance Warner come out to take out 44.OH. Gage chases after Page on the scaffold and tosses Page onto the light tube stacks on the table, but he doesn’t go through the table. Gage takes whatever is left of the tube stacks and dumps it onto Page, and continues the MDK carving. Page takes out this second referee and calls out for backup. Atticus Cogar comes out and throws some chairs and sheets of glass into the ring. Cogar sticks skewers into Gage and helps Page put Gage onto the top rope to try and put through the setup chairs and glass. Brett Lauderdale comes out and takes out Cogar with some light tubes. Gage hits a powerbomb onto the glass but only gets a 2 count, follows it up with a Choke Breaker and Lauderdale counts the pin for the win.

After the match, Gage grabs Page’s 44.OH custom GCW Title and spray paint MDK on it, as he grabs a new GCW World Title and raises it. We start hearing some unfamiliar music, as Jon Moxley walks into the ring. Gage and Moxley go face to face as Gage’s blood spreads onto Moxley. Moxley goes to leave, but Gage throws up the middle finger. Moxley comes back in and starts attacking Gage, hits a DDT onto Gage, sets up light tubes, and hits the Death Rider to Gage onto them. Gage gets up, grabs the mic, and says ‘Where’s my motherfucking gang at!’ He says he hasn’t seen Moxley in 10 years, and he’s going to come out and disrespect the God of ultraviolent wrestling like that? Gage then thanks all the fans for having his back when he was out with his injury and says they are the reason and motivation for having him do this for 22 years. Gage promises that he and Moxley will go one on one in a ‘real motherfucking Death Match’, because in GCW all of this is real, not cut up and fake. And he’s going to dance with Jon Moxley and they’ll see who the real one is, before signing off with the audience with ‘MDK, all fucking day’.
