| 1 | 01.08.2026 | JediSaiyanMaster1203 | | Fuck this company and fuck Rob Black, I refuse to give this promotion the time of day, the bottom of the barrel of the business. While I have no issues when it comes to hardcore wrestling or promotions that center around that style, but this is a pathetic excuse of a company that should have never been created. Literally, go watch the Dark Side of the Ring episode if you want a full understanding of why this promotion is terrible. |

And say what you will about Paul E. Dangerously, but at least HE didn't do this horseshit that Rob Black did. There was some great talents in this company, Supreme, Kaos, Messiah, Vic Grimes, (and yes, even New Jack). It was a low level, West Coast version of ECW. |

The production is low-budget, the booking feels random, and there's way too much focus on shock value rather than actual wrestling. Some of the talent tries to make the best of it, but they're buried under chaos and questionable creative choices. The whole vibe feels like it's stuck in the early 2000s in the worst way possible. It's more of a spectacle than a wrestling show, and not in a good way. |

Mr Black is a scumbag promoter who makes VKM look like a saint and that is saying something. The "wrestling" that this promotion encourages appeals to only the lowest common denominator of violence obsessed virgins. If you have ever wondered why people have no respect for wrestling its because of promotions like this. |

| 21 | 03.02.2025 | Zuha Salt | 0.0 | Group children, because I am going to tell you a story of someone who is extremely stubborn and pretentious, who created a company based on arrogance and garbage. Rob Black, tried to do Wrestling accompanied by Paul Heyman in the ECW, but he did not accept the stupid ideas of Rob, so this, very recently, decided to join his porn company with a newly created Wrestling company and from there the XPW was born. XPW was a very ambitious, too ambitious project, so much that it sought to give a product for adults and seek to overcome ECW as a form of revenge. Sadly for Black, the XPW had problems with the FBI for everything your company was doing. You could say that Rob tried to hit a wrestling giant. Nowadays, it continues to do events, clearly not with the same intensity and impact as 20 years ago. I cannot believe that Rob is still stubborn to give us the XPW in 1000 versions of this. |
| 22 | 09.01.2025 | munrapido3 | 0.0 | XPW, what a freakin' cesspool this is. Even without the terrible politics in it, Rob Black is the scummiest promoter then and now. There's nothing to describe Rob Black other than him being one of the biggest scumbags in wrestling right now. I'd rather watch Combat Zone or Game Changer rather than this crap, their booking is terrible, Black's current wife is their TV Champion (810 days WASTED) for some reason. Don't get me started with their Twitter being filled with the most usual far-right MAGA bullshit. This company is alive because sleazy Black just keeps coming and he doesn't know how to stop, and that's a bad thing. XPW is nothing but some edgy West Coast kid that tried to copy what the cool kid (ECW) was doing, then failing miserably. |
| 23 | 02.01.2025 | kennerado | | Wasn't even a pimple on the ass of ECW, complete garbage promotion run by a pornographer who literally paid his talent with porn DVD's. Tried to capitalize on the popularity of ECW but failed despite stealing a bunch of their roster. I have no idea why Shane Douglas agreed to work there and even book the shows for a period. |
| 24 | 01.01.2025 | AtomicCody21 | 1.0 | One of the many, many, many hardcore wrestling promotions that cropped up the late-90s to capitalize on the success ECW. Ran by notorious scumbag Rob Black, XPW tried to be the west-coast ECW, even invading Heatwave 2000 in a desperate attempt for relevance. The promotion was plagued with bad booking, bad wrestling, and happily died in 2003 when Rob got himself into trouble over his god-awful porn films. Somehow XPW was resurrected in 2021 and it is still as atrocious as before. If you want to watch deathmatch wrestling, I would not recommend XPW at all. |
| 25 | 20.11.2024 | jjcharg77 | 4.0 | had a bad experience but im going to try and give this company some grace even with the booker being someone I do not like at all the more I look into him and some people like the body being on shows. I feel like I get the atmosphere and im going to try and enjoy myself but right now im leaving my rating as is. there show after the show I went to looked a lot cleaner in everything really (dont think thats saying much as I hated the Los Angeles church show but I also didnt watch like the last 3 matches) and that helped. I just hope I can actually watch and keep outside shit outside and just have a fun night of wrestling and violence. idk I could be way to hopeful. I am not the biggest fan of the subscription service. the idea is there but the interface doesnt feel the cleanest and its not really trying to show off anything that isn't new and it feels hard to search for older stuff. im actually curious to see the history like with Kidd Kaos, Supreme. you know trying to see what they were doing in the past. maybe they could think about doing best of matches for retired people. will say I do not at. all intend to listen too the podcast lol I get hes trying to promote it but im not trying to hear rob blacks thought ion the election when Im looking for wrestling/death matches. maybe id want to hear his opionon on death matches and some history but it seems he steers off that alot. will update this review. EDIT: they are slowly improving. there was a show I hated and then tried to rewatch but couldn't cause of the stream quality. from there theyve been making improvements and having the card not feel grimy in a sense. I hope they keep at it. n nothing to over the line has happened in the new run from what ive seen (you can find like a 2 dozen crazy stories about XPW in the 1st run) I guess you can say I can make it a guilty pleasure but not yet. |

| 32 | 15.04.2024 | KudomeValentine | | Perhaps the most bottom of the barrel, desperate, and pathetic wrestling there is. While the original iteration actually used to have some good wrestlers and had a certain endearing charm going for it inspite of its grime and sleaze, the current iteration is just sad and embarrassing and devoid of anything worthwhile. When I say sleaze and grime, I'm not talking about the pornstars or the rampant violence. I love pornstars and rampant violence. What I am referring to is the MAGA politics that will alienate anyone with half a brain and the involvement of creeps and criminals both backstage and in the ring. Even if you agree with the politics of horrible piece of excrement, Robb Black, do you really think the politics espoused on these shows are going to be relevant in ten or fifteen years? Who am I kidding, they don't know how to read. Now, bad political beliefs and criminal activity is hardly unique to XPW in the history of wrestling, but at least other promotions have had some halfway decent wrestling to make up for it. Not XPW. Really, really, really bad deathmatch wrestling involving rejects that the rest of the industry doesn't want anything to do with, held in disgusting squalors in front of miniscule crowds of deplorable, stereotypically unwashed wrestling fans the rest of us don't want to be associated with. Every once in a while a somewhat talented wrestler will debase themselves enough to "wrestle" for XPW, reminding you that wrestling is still full of shameless carnies inspite of is attempts to reform itself in the public image. If you need inspiration to take a shower, watching an XPW show will never make you feel clean enough again. |

What a wooooorld! ). I don't have a problem with deathmatches, and yes, I mean REAL deathmatches that respect the niche. XPW is full of just straight up nonsense and egregious spots that are only violent or gross, and make no sense in the world of wrestling.

Every time I found a new XPW DVD at FYE I'd scoop that shit up and be stoked to get home and watch it, and it NEVER DISAPPOINTED! It was brutal, shocking, wild and intriguing. Everything I wanted in my Deathmatch wrestling. The new reboot of XPW is no different. Great, entertaining product that is just as brutal and shocking as the original. Great to see them book guys like Necro Butcher and Drake Younger and not pander to the douchebag cancel culture pansies that make up a growing portion of the Deathmatch community. XPW is bringing Deathmatch back to its ROOTS and I'm here for it! |

Das was diese beiden Companys herausstechen lässt sind die verrückten, wenn auch meistens nicht qualitativen, Death-Matches und die politische Unkorrektheit. Die meisten Kritikpunkte, die vorherige Kommentare hier erwähnen, lege ich der XPW eher positiv aus. Wenn ich XPW gucke will ich kein ethisch vertretbares Programm erwarten, das machen die Mainstream-Promotionen schon zu genüge. Ich erwarte "skandalöse" Aussagen und Momente. Das hat die frühere XPW regelmäßig gut liefern können. Auch wenn ich froh bin, dass Rob Black die Promotion wiederbeleben konnte, glaube ich, dass die moderne Cancel Culture XPW leider sehr weichwaschen wird. Wenn ich mir heute deren Twitter-Feed angucke wird ja schon häufig der Ausschluss von u.a. Necro Butcher und MASADA gefordert. |

Let it be said that there was only ever one promotion that made ECW look like it was the big leagues and that was XPW. Rob Black if you can read this, go fuck yourself you pitiful excuse for a human being. The only reason XPW doesn't rate an absolute 0 is because it gave guys like Messiah exposure and an audience. |
| 69 | 10.11.2021 | Detroitmaple78 | | XPW is like a car crash, something you don't want to see, but can't look away from. From porn star valets, to deathmatch tournaments, to being a stop off for former ECW stars and upcoming talent...they had a bit of everything. While I didn't care much for trying to up the ante on the ultra violence, I did enjoy some of the characters that came out of there. From The Messiah to "White Trash" Johnny Webb and Kaos, these were fun personas you wouldn't see on a normal wrestling program. As I said, XPW was a car crash, you don't know why you'd watch, but couldn't look away. |

The owners were the most unprofessional douchebags ever who just thought 'oh, ECW did very well and it's a good idea to make this garbage more extreme and have people literally throw each other off of a 40 foot high scaffold. ' Although some talented wrestlers did the mistake of joining the promotion, the production and the booking was so awful that it didn't matter if they had any decent wrestlers in the company. The camerawork was so poor that half of the time you couldn't even see what was going on in the ring. Unfortunately had segments with awful sleazy pornstar humor. Also Rob Black is a horrible person who has been involved in numerous scandals and had his employee's finger cut off in order to give him a lesson for sleeping with his wife. How classy. |

One problem was that a lot of their big stars didn't stay long and some of the matches weren't very good. While some wrestling wasn't great and was sloppy, they did have guys like M Dogg 20, Josh Prohibition, and Jonny Storm who put on excellent matches and others like Koas, Messiah, and Homeless Jimmy were real good. |

| 76 | 14.03.2018 | Reptilian | 8.0 | XPW as its most commonly known (The first 3 LA years) was a company that was based on characters, entertainment and memorable moments rather than conventional wrestling. They brought big production shows and big money to the West Coast wrestling scene at a time when nearly every other company was running with small budget in small buildings in front of smaller crowds. XPW was one of the biggest companies in US at the time. They tried to jump on the wave of momentum created by ECW. Yeah sure, but people need to understand that XPW´s product (from 1999-mid 2002) was completely different. It was way more darker, x-rated and differently booked & presented. It had a unique Cali-LA vibe to it. Comparing everything to ECW is lazy just because they used some of the same ME guys/also did bold stuff. XPW did FMW style deathmatches. XPW put lots of effort in to creating different unique characters and made creative promo videos for almost every wrestler in their company. Imo XPW´s mistakes were abandoning their LA roots & trying to move in to the East Coast, and spending too much money, and not pushing local talent enough. The back office situation also became problematic. There is so many misinformed people telling false rumors, lies and myths about XPW. They did have some good local/homegrown talent like Kaos, Luke Hawx, Vic Grimes, The Messiah, Nosawa, Mexicos Most Wanted etc. XPW has its place in wrestling history. Many could learn from their production and ambition. They showed how to market a product for adult audience and created their own world. VitruvioK wrote: "With no XPW there would be no Combat Zone Wrestling. " - This is a crazy statement and makes no sense. CZW started at the East Coast in NJ as a wrestling school in 98´ before XPW started at the West Coast. CZW starting with Zandig has no relation to XPW or to the West Coast. Also their products were completely different. In closing: at its best XPW was an exciting alternative. |

| 81 | 27.06.2016 | DanTalksRasslin | 1.0 | XPW aimed to be a sleazier, more extreme version of ECW, but missed the point that it wasn't the grittiness or extreme violence that made ECW great, it was the excellent booking and compelling storylines. To be sure, some good talent - including ex-ECW and WCW stars, as well as independent talent - passed through XPW, but it wasn't enough to make up for poor writing, poor production values and general irresponsibility. I guess when you look at who was running this thing, nothing should be surprising. |

Als Rob Black damals die SWF von Kevin Kleinrock abgekauft hatte, war es zu Beginn ein schlechtes Geschäft denn Kleinrock hatte absolut null. Rob Black hat dem allem dann einen neuen Anstrich verpasst welcher nicht mal all zu schlecht war. Man hatte, für eine junge und frische Promotion, ein solides bis starkes Roster mit einer guten Mischung aus frischen/jungen Leuten und bekannten Veteranen. Mit Rob Black hatte man zudem eine mehr als große und sichere Geldquelle (der Mann hatte damals verdammt viel Geld! ). So gesehen hätte eigentlich nichts schief gehen dürfen. Aber aufgrund des Hasses von Rob Black gegen Paul Heyman hat man versucht eine neue ECW zu sein. Und das war einer der Fehler! Man hatte eigene Originals, welche nicht gerade untalentiert waren und sogar bei ein paar Fans ankamen. Aber stattdessen pushte man um's Verrecken sämtliche ECW-Originals. Angefangen bei Big Dick Dudley bishin zu Sabu. Dazu kam noch die Inkompetenz Blacks, der zu große Einfluss der Pornobranche und sämtliche Skandale, No-Shows, Trash etc. Dass es aber auch wirklich einige starke Matches und ein paar solide bis klasse Shows gab, wird hier leider vergessen. Wie bereits erwähnt: schlecht war die XPW nicht und Potential war reichlich da. Man hat aber wenig daraus gemacht und alles in den Sand gesetzt. Aber immerhin wird die XPW für immer in den Geschichtsbüchern bleiben. Und wer weiss, vielleicht kommt Rob Black samt XPW wieder zurück. |

| 89 | 19.11.2014 | CSickmann | 0.0 | Ich glaube das war ernsthaft die schlimmste Wrestling-Liga, die ich jemals gesehen habe. Es gab ernsthaft nichts, was mir zusagte. Gewiss traf die Liga den Nerv anderer Leute, meinen allerdings überhaupt nicht. |
| 90 | 05.09.2014 | Phenomenal91 | 3.0 | Originally this place sucked. Was completely terrible and embarrassing to pro wrestling. It redeemed itself under Shane Douglas, who was marginally smarter than the previous owner Rob Zicari, who was and is a POS human being. |

| 92 | 06.07.2013 | Paul Allain | 0.0 | I tried several times to watch XPW, but each time it felt long and disapointing. None of the excitement of ECW, all of the shortcomings of garbage wrestling, poor lighting making for an obscure and hard to see product, ... XPW was bad, plain and simple. |
| 93 | 15.05.2013 | Sick Boy | 6.0 | Ganz seltsame Liga. Einerseits damals eine echte Alternative zur frisch verblichenen ECW, andererseits hat man auch ziemlichen Bullshit fabriziert... |
| 94 | 12.03.2013 | Gredzilla | 2.0 | Ich bewerte nur das was ich bisher gesehen hab, das reicht aber auch. Die "Liga" die von einem Pornoproduzenten (no shit) auf die Beine gestellt wurde, wird zerissen und beschimpft. Und ich hab mir jetzt auch mal was von denen angeguckt. Die erste Show war Baptized in Blood 1 (keine Sorge, ich hab noch viele mehr gesehen und die waren auch besser, aber nicht um viel) und OH MY FUCKING GOD! Ich hab ja schon viel schlechtes gesehen aber das war unglaublich. Eine unglaublich mieße beleuchtung, stinklangweilige Matches, bei den Wrestler gab es ein paar Lichtpunkte, die jedoch alle von einer größeren Anzahl schlechter Wrestler und mießen Booking, in der ewigen Finsternis verschwanden. Aber der Hammer sind die Kommentatoren. Der Mexikaner ist der Brüller schlecht hin, den Rest der Shows hab ich mir größtenteils wegen dem angeguckt aber auch der andere Typ mit seinem over the top shitstorm screaming "WWHAAAAAAHHH! " Wenn jemand durchn Tisch aus ein Meter Höhe gesegelt ist. Ne wirklich. XPW hat den Kultstatus nicht weil es ein Überprodukt war. |

| 96 | 04.08.2011 | MaikBaader | 0.0 | Tja, so ist das nun mal. Ein ehemaliger Pornodarsteller gründet eine Liga. Und was holt er? Weiber, die nackt "wresteln". Wow. Die Deathmatches dazu waren einfach nur scheiße, die Kommentatoren gingen mir auf die Eier. Ich hab XPW oft viele Chancen zu geben mich zu überzeugen, aber da kam nichts. Solange Super Dragon nicht im Ring war konnte man die Liga vergessen. und SD war dort nur 3x. Absolute Trashliga im negativen sinne. |

| 98 | 27.08.2010 | Whole FN Show | 8.0 | XPW war anders. Und darum sehr geil. Es war Trashig, es war Deathmatch es war einfach Kultig... Nebenbei hat die XPW einen meiner Faves in ihren Reihen gehabt und den Mr. Underrated des Indy Wrestlings: Joey "KAOS" Munoz |
| 99 | 02.03.2010 | RealAmerican22 | 1.0 | Tut mir Leid ich kann mit der Liga einfach nix anfangen und mehr will ich auch nicht dazu sagen. |
