Game Changer Wrestling is set to embark on yet another tour of Japan in just a matter of a day. With the being known about for a while now, the cards have now been revealed for all three days of GCW’s next tour of Japan; and there are quite a few big time matchups scheduled on the Deathmatch end of these cards. At GCW’s The New Face of War, there will be a blockbuster Tag Team Deathmatch as the current GCW Ultraviolent Champion Rina Yamashita teams with Masha Slamovich to take on the team of Sawyer Wreck & Charli Evans. The following night at GCW’s Planet Death 2023, Masha Slamovich will take on Masashi Takeda in a Deathmatch. On that same night, “The Duke of Hardcore” John Wayne Murdoch will engage in ultraviolent combat against “The Crazy Monkey” Jun Kasai. On the final night, in collaboration with Pro Wrestling FREEDOMS at Jun Kasai’s Shinkiba Deathmatch Carnival 2023, ERE (Violento Jack, Toshiyuki Sakuda & Takayuki Ueki) take on the ultraviolent dream team of Charli Evans, Sawyer Wreck & Masha Slamovich.

CZW Announces the First Entrant for Tournament of Death XX

As previously reported, Combat Zone Wrestling will be hosting the twentieth rendition of one of the most prestigious and important Deathmatch Tournaments in the United States: Tournament of Death. We now have confirmation that the first entrant into Tournament of Death XX is none other than “The Deathmatch Enforcer” Bobby Beverly. Bobby Beverly comes into this year’s Tournament of Death as the reigning winner of last year’s Tournament of Death. The Bev’s path to victory was no easy walk as he toppled over Otis Cogar, England’s Big F’n Joe, and then Mickie Knuckles to win the whole Tournament. Can Bobby Beverly become the first person in over a decade to win back-to-back TOD’s? We’ll find out when CZW presents Tournament of Death XX on September 23rd in Townsend, Delaware. Tickets are available now and you can follow CZW on Twitter for updates.


Scaffold Match Announced for FREEDOMS on 7/23

Just days after the festivities with Game Changer Wrestling, Pro Wrestling FREEDOMS will be bringing the action to Osaka, Japan with Jun Kasai’s Deathmatch Carnival Osaka 2023. Thus far, we have one confirmed matchup for Osaka’s card, and it is a heavy hitter. Jun Kasai will face one-half of the current King of FREEDOM World Tag Team Champions: Daisuke Masaoka in what has been labeled as the Promised Fight. The two will do battle in a Scaffold & Fluorescent Lighttube Deathmatch. Jun Kasai’s Deathmatch Carnival Osaka 2023 will be going down on July 23rd, and you can follow Pro Wrestling FREEDOMS on Twitter for updates.
