ICW MKE Insane 8 2026 & Double Header (opens the original)
Read excerpt
THANK FUCK. Finally! A good show! After I waded through so much trash lately, I was beginning to sound like a ‘lapsed fan’ who made ‘not liking wrestling anymore, everything used to be better’ his whole identity. That’s far from the truth. I watched as much wrestling as ever and liked a lot of it, too. I just didn’t review it because I’m the Deathmatch Fashion Police, and a lot of what I watched wasn’t deathmatch wrestling. That’s the frustrating part for me – that broad swaths of the US deathma

Or is it? Something sure doesn’t look right at first glance. 7.17 rating on Cagematch, several comments, not one of them complains about production issues, none below a 6/10 rating either, and one states the rating was ‘only’ a 9 because commentary was annoying. Commentary comes from Ron Niemi (fair, he is annoying) and Kyle Wylde (whose commentary I typically like), so how bad can it be? (Spoiler: Kyle Wylde is nowhere to be seen; it’s Ron Niemi and Larry Legend.) Even more bizarrely, the show

I’m cranky today because nearly everything I watched left a sickly sweet aftertaste of garbage in my mouth. I guess this turned out more like a dirt sheet than a review, but there is an actual match review hidden in the middle, and a free show (that looks like Katy Perry filmed an LSD trip through a caleidoscope) at the end. Weee! Let’s go dumpster diving!RPW Under New Management – July 24, 2026 Speedrun: Ego Trip to
LOKO Wrestling Deep Dive (2024 – 2026) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Loko Wrestling, owned by Jaime Martinez, exists in Houston, Texas since 2020. While not purely a deathmatch promotion, their breakout star Nino Extremo and his deathmatches are what got them attention in recent months. Unfortunately for everyone, said breakout star recently got attention for throwing around the n-word, and being backed by GCW’s Brett Lauderdale for it. There are fans who are cool with slurs - be it homophobia, racism, sexism, all of above - as long as it doesn’t target them pers

Read excerpt
The year 2016 is coming to an end in my A Decade in Death series. This is one of the last three tournaments from this year on my to-review list. IWA-Midsouth had a pretty good King of the Deathmatches 2016, so hopefully the (relative) rookies also delivered.ROUND 1Match 1 - Barbed Wire Boards And Bats - Zodiak vs Aidan Blackhart<a href="https://deathmatchfashionpolice.substack.com/i/211595101/match-2-thumbtack-ma
