| 1 | 13.12.2025 | Sandmann | 6.0 | Das war keine schlechte GCW Show aber im Endeffekt waren es viele Matches die einfach nur da waren und dafür war die Qualität einfach nur ok aber nicht viel mehr. Der Scramble war da sogar noch gut als Opener gewählt. Da ist immer ein wenig Chaos drin, Orso als Sieger macht auch Sinn. Das war vollkommen in Ordnung. Masha gegen Deppen war in Ordnung obwohl der Titel nicht ernsthaft in Gefahr war. Parrow gegen Holiday war komplett langweilig. Auch Black gegen Steel war leider nicht so gut. Die beiden sollten eigentlich auch mehr bieten können als hier. Janela gegen Priest fand ich arg enttäuschend. Die beiden können so viel mehr und haben hier leider nur ein wenig mehr als Standard geboten. Da hatte ich wirklich mehr erwartet. Absolutes Hightlight war das Trios Match. Das war richtig stark. Das hat gerockt. Geiles Wrestling, coole Spots, schnelle Action. Da hat einfach alles gestimmt. Warner gegen DeReiss fand ich langweilig und ging viel zu lange dafür. Das Tag Team Match danach war ok aber auch nichts das besonders in Erinnerung bleibt. Bronson gegen BEastman und Tremont gegen Black waren halt die typischen Death Matches bei den GCW Shows. Das erste war halt auch zu lang und das zweite kam nicht so wirklich in Gang. Aber der Entrance von Tremont ist halt immer cool. |
| 2 | 11.08.2025 | amcnal | 8.0 | Somehow, this might be the best GCW show of the year? Everyone brought their A-game. The 3-on-3 is as good as advertised, even WON was in awe. That's probably GCW match of the year - just a nonstop spot fest where everyone shines, and everyone gets walloped. Janela/Priest lived up to my expectations, two of my favorite hard-hitters. They really knocked each other around. Mancer's swerve was so prolonged that it got me, and those things usually don't. Fun, different match. Bronson/Beastman was predictably meaty and nasty. As a longtime Bronson fan, I've loved seeing his breakout this year. It wasn't all perfect, the main event got tarnished by an early injury. Also as someone in the northeast, I was very excited to see 4 of my favorite local wrestlers in the scramble (Ashley, TJ, Flash and Greene), but Emil and KJ bickered instead of calling the match. I get it, but it was unfortunate, as every competitor was really killing it. It's a great scramble! |

| 4 | 22.07.2025 | 1WingedWarDog | 7.0 | Quite a varied show with plenty of good matches in a variety of styles. While some matches like Parrow v Holliday, Black v Steel and Tremont v Mantis were busts but others were eceptional. Janela v Priest was a great clash of styles between the two, YNDPM v Starkz, Bayne and Yamashita was an incredible spotfest, DeReiss v Mancer was an entertaining crowd pleaser and Bronson v Beastman was a very well-done deathmatch. Very solid show with only a few minor pitfalls including a pretty bland main event. |

| 12 | 07.07.2025 | EmoForkliftDriver | 6.0 | Solid GCW show with a buffet for almost anyone's tastes. We got some pretty good to amazing spotfests in the opening scramble and the six man tag match. We got some pretty solid deathmatch wrestling from the returning Bear Bronson who is white hot in the scene at the moment. A good comedy match from an unlikely source in Mancer Warner vs Man Like Dereiss and plenty of showcases from up and coming talent. It's obviously not an overly mind blowing affair but it is consistently entertaining, bollocks and all |

| 14 | 06.07.2025 | DanMitchellNFS | 3.0 | Too many matches for a start and I'm not against intergender matches, but there were 3 on this show. Janella shouldn't be in featured matches with upcoming talent, he just brings them down. Adam works on his knee for a while, but then Joey does a running dive - no selling the last 5 minutes. IMO Tremont shouldn't of been in the main event for the same reason, glad they had to finish early as the show went on far too long. |
| 15 | 06.07.2025 | Sebastian V | 8.0 | Der Opener war schon ein mehr als anständiges Scramble Match und sicherlich auch eines der besseren dieser Art. Mehr als anständig war auch Masha Slamovich gegen Tony Deppen - besonders auch mit der Rollenverteilung. Parrow gegen Holliday war das schwächste Match der Show - aber solide und besser als erwartet. Black gegen Steel war anständig als Sprint - und dann kam die beste Phase. Priest gegen Janela fand ich schon echt gut aber das Six Person Tag Match danach war wirklich sehr gut und das klare MOTN. Alle drei Matches danach fand ich mehr als anständig, auch wenn besonders das Co Main Event etwas lang war und die Zeit fehlte dann auch ein Stück weit im Main Event, was dennoch anständig war und insgesamt war das - auch mit der Verschiedenartigkeit der Matches und einem guten und einem sehr guten Match - war das eine gute Show und ich gebe 8 Punkte. |
| 16 | 06.07.2025 | MoeMorrison | 8.0 | The Top Play reiht sich ein zu den besten GCW Shows des Jahres und hat mit Good Wrestling Team (Miyu Yamashita, Billie Starkz & Megan Bayne) vs. YDNPM (Jordan Oliver, Alec Price & Marcus Mathers) eines der besten GCW Matches des Jahres vorzuweisen. Generell gibt es keinen Stinker auf der Card und das hat was zu bedeuten, da manche Leute hier nicht ganz so pralle sind. Und dann noch diese Crowd. Diese Crowd! Hartford hatte absolut Bock und hebt die Show sowas von an. Absolute Empfehlung. |
| 17 | 06.07.2025 | ausrev | 7.0 | The first half of this card was tracking as standard for a GCW show. Decent, but nothing incredible. The second half of this show, though? Fantastic. Certainly one of GCW's best shows of the year and a very hot crowd helped with that. Not quite as good as JJSB all in all but this show had a ton of variety and the highs were really high. From Janela/Priest or the six person tag onwards; this was excellent and I'd definitely recommend giving it a watch. Looking forward to the rest of July heading into Summerslam weekend, this was a much needed standout show from GCW. ***1/2. |
| 18 | 06.07.2025 | Open The Vault | 9.0 | GCW's The Top Play was one of the best shows I've seen from GCW. Genuine tons of fun from beginning to end. The Scramble was a fun way to open the show and KJ Orso stealing the win was an absolutely great heel move. Masha vs. Tony was half comedy and half serious work from both of them. Tony Deppen being the sexist heel was good. Parrow vs. Richard Holiday was average. Not too bad and not too good. Holiday's GCW ending comes with a bit of a whimper. Black vs. Steel was the weakest on the show. Very basic match with nothing going on other than a mediocre Candian Destroyer. The Six Man Tag Match was a barn burner. Fun from beginning to end, The crowd was on fire the whole show and had so much fucking energy. Warner vs. DeReiss was okay for the most part, the ending was funny and bizzare. Manson & Slade vs. Manders & Effy was another fun one with a bit of a weak ending. Some great stiff spots and action. The spot through the closet door between the walls was awesome! Bronson vs. Beastman was MOTN! Chaotic hell, brutal beatings and some of the craziest spots I've witnessed. The main event was a bit fun but underwhelming considering Matt Tremont got injured and got stabbed in the eye with some glass. They went home early. Overall, this show was an awesome re-introduction for me into GCW and I might be a huge fan again. [****1/2] |
