1. Round 1 – LIGHT TUBE HELL: Jimmy Havoc vs. Drake Younger
Excellent deathmatch. One of the best openers of the year. First time watching Jimmy, and he was really good, a promising deathmatch talent. Drake is insanely over in Germany.

2. Round 1 – RUHRPOTT DEATHMATCH: Mike Schwarz vs. Matt Tremont

3. Round 1 – TLC MATCH: DJ Hyde vs. Toby Blunt
Wait… Another good DJ Hyde match (Tangled Web 5 reference)? Well, color me fucking surprised. This was a prolonged squash, basically. DJ annihilated Toby. Poor kid took a BEATING. It was very well done, damn good match.
***1/2
4. Round 1 – FANS BRING THE WEAPONS: MASADA vs. Greg Excellent
**1/2
5. Jay Skillet Trial Series – Match 5: Jay Skillet vs. Karsten Beck

6. GridIron vs. OI4K (Dave Crist & Jake Crist)

7. Robert Dreissker vs. Are$

8. wXw 16 Carat Gold 2013 Qualifier: Alex Colon vs. Jonathan Gresham
At first, this match was nothing special, just a decent back-and-forth action between two smaller wrestlers. But then, they just kept getting better and better. Mainly due to Colon being awesome, but Gresham was really good too, he surprised me a lot. The crowd was hot for them, despite everyone waiting for a deathmatch main event. The finishing stretch was particularly good. Awesome match. Alex Colon is definitely one of the most underrated Indy wrestlers, every time I watch CZW, he’s one of the standouts.
***1/2
9. Finals – NO ROPE LIGHT TUBE BARBED WIRE DEATHMATCH: Drake Younger vs. Matt Tremont vs. DJ Hyde vs. MASADA
Usually, it’s kind of hard to execute 4-Way deathmatches properly, but the guys did a good job here. Sure, there were few sloppy and borderline messy moments, but nothing major or cringeworthy. Good match overall, and the right guy won. The finish was fucking tremendous. And brutal.
***1/4
Awesome show, with a lot of FUN. The Oberhausen crowd ruled, they helped a lot. The wrestlers worked hard, and this definitely wasn’t a throwaway show. The Drake/Havoc opener was great, it was the MOTN, and the DMOTYC. Can’t decide between Hyde/Blunt and Colon/Gresham for the second best match. Overall, thumbs up for this event. Now I need to find more CZW shows from Germany and England.

Wait, the spoiler that KC posted is offical? if yes, then
UGH. Why PWG is throwing this stip so much? probably the match will be over-the-top hardcore match. Will be about 90 headbutts and 100 unnecessary horrible looking bumps I guess...
It's a gimmick match that they know draws with fans. Reseda ate up their first match. They'll eat it up tenfold with the gimmick attached. The ratio of Guerrilla Warfare matches often lean towards great and with this Callihan vs Younger match having an excuse to be violent than previous, I think it could work to their advantage. Of course it's such a polarizing match among fans on here that it could equal out to the same result as Mystery Vortex.
Holy crap Del Sol is showing up for ASW too? Guess we can all be glad DG USA was going to California now. (believe that's why all the talent is showing up)
If only I could attend. Grr. I'm growling. That's how much it frustrates me.
Gonna be my first time seeing some of these guys since I don't watch any DG products. Looking forward to seeing what all the fuss is about. Swann impressed me a lot from what I saw of him in CZW and PWG, hoping these guys are the same.
Well, the main event sounds awful to me, but it has it's appeal apparently, sooo...
Wait, did they confirm this as the main event? Oh , no.
Edit~ Just seen it's set to schedule night 1. Meh.
Also downloaded this onto my I-Pod, been listing to a lot of Barbarian Overloads recently. Awesome band,but everytime this comes on all I can think of is Excalibur shouting "Brian Cage-Taylor is a fucking machine." :lmao
Honestly, I've totally forgot about their tripleshot this weekend, and I follow and support both DGUSA and EVOLVE. And apparently, the guys on Insider have forgot too. :lmao
Gabe FUCKING SUCKS in promoting shows, which is a damn shame, because the rosters are fantastic.
Now, I'm probably gonna order tonight's show, with No Rope Match.
Has anybody seen the RFVideo Shoot with Dan Severn? Dan Severn is booked at a local promotion's show in March and I'm considering buying it to bring with me to get signed.
LOL, The iPPV is today (Heat) and Gabe is booking the big matches right now??!!? god damn he's terrible.
I checked out the Book It Cam video and it looked like another show with good wrestling but in a shitty venue with shitty crowd. Not very looking forward to watch the show, hell I haven't watched the last two shows from the iPPV triple-shot back in Nov and EVOLVE 18 yet.
It may be bad of me, or naive or whatever else you want to call me, but the crowds are the reason why I can not watch more than one DGUSA match in a row. They're horrible, for whatever reason. Unless a match is PIMPED then chances are, I will catch very little of DGUSA and EVOLVE this year.
I also consider the crowd a big part in how good a match/show is.
I find it hard to sit though a japanese wrestling shows because of how quite the crowds are.
