Summary: 1st time XPW
Review: Longtime wrestling fan, longtime ECW fan, first glimpse at XPW.

1. Black Army Promo: Rob Black can't cut a promo. The only use this has is to let you know who Rob Black and the Messiah are. He's about as good as Heyman in the WWF, not like Heyman was in ECW.

2. "Mr. 80's" Dynamite D vs New Jack: I was amazed when i witnessed something i've never seen in all the years of watching wrestling... New Jack doing actual wrestling moves. Aside from that, it was a match of stuff they teach the first week on Tough Enough.

3. First Round King of the Deathmatch Tournament, "Vicious" Vic Grimes vs Crack w/ Angel (beds of barbed wire and nails chained to the turnbuckles): Looks like the only moves Crack learned in wrestling school were the irish whip and the clothesline. Angel has one of the more funnier gimmicks i've seen in wrestling though.

4. "White Trash" Johnny Web vs Osawa (barbed wire ladder and bed of thumbtacks): Decent match, good use of the weapons, but whats the deal w/ Osawa and his $12 K-Mart ring attire?

5. Cypher and Tool Promo: These XPW "rising stars" absolutely cannot cut a promo. Tool vs the Messiah challenge accepted.

6. John Kronus vs Homeless Jimmy (beds of light bulbs and broken glass and Jimmy's shopping cart wrapped in barbed wire): For a veteran wrestler, Kronus sure couldn't keep his balance on the ropes and even punked out of taking a bump in the broken glass. Homeless Jimmy even outperformed him, and, well, just look at his name.

7. Black Army "Sabu" Promo: I already mentioned how good Black was at cutting a promo. Sabu's manager Layzie comes out and tells some jokes that would've been funny when Hulkamania was around the first time of a few hundred.

8. Steve Rizano Promo: I take it back... NO ONE in XPW can cut a promo besides probably the ex-ECW wrestlers.

9. Steve Rizano vs Pogo the Clown (beds of thumbtack and barbed wire and Pogo's shovel covered in barbed wire): These guys were pretty decent. Supreme interjects himself in the match. Believe me, its only exciting if you're an XPW mark. Brings out something from "Supreme's Laboratory" (its a friggin' table wrapped in barbed wire). Steve Rizano suffers brutally though. This guy just takes it, considering hes just wearing regular wrestling trunks.

10. Kriss Kloss interviews Kid Kaos: Juventud Gurerra interrupts and cuts a crack that makes as much sense as the snail joke in Training Day.

11. Kid Kaos vs Juventud Gurerra: Good match. Kid Kaos is one of probably few XPW wrestlers that can move in the ring.

12. 2nd Round K.O.T.D.M.T. Johnny Web vs Supreme (beds of barbed wire, nails, and tacks): Web can take a bump and can slightly wrestle, but Supreme is about as good as an FMW jobber.

13. Grimes vs Homeless Jimmy (beds of barbed wire, glass, light bulbs, and Jimmy's cart): Good match between a verteran and an up-and-comer. Both guys perform pretty well and take great bumps.

14. Tool vs the Messiah: Should've been a deathmatch, cuz at least there would've been something worth watching if there were tacks or barbed wire. And whats w/ Tool's homo-erotic bondage wear?

15. Final Round KOTDMT Grimes vs Supreme (everything from previous deathmatches and a 20 ft. ladder and barbed wire light bulb covered tables): Decent match. Supreme + ladder = something worth seeing though.

16. Grimes "Angry" Promo: It was alright for a few minutes, but then it just lagged on.

17. Grimes vs the Messiah (KOTDM Title in the aftermath of Grimes vs Supreme): A stable milking match. Supreme comes back out, clears ring for a while, the Black Army takes over eventually, New Jack comes out and does his usual, but i would've been more pumped if his music would hit like it would back in ECW.

Bonus Match. Veronica Cane vs Lizzy Borden (Buck Neked Match): As much of a rip as the advertising made of Francine at House Party '99. But a short Veronica clip afterwards makes up for it a little.

Bonus Material: Photo gallery of the KOTDMT

All in all: Way better than the Best of Backyard Wrestling, as good as Stranglemania, nothing compared to ECW. Cheaper than the CZW DVD, and just as long as an ECW event.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Unf%&$!?g believable !
Review: Supreme attempts to dive off the top of a 12 foot
ladder, which flips out from under him, and falls
chest first hitting the ring apron. A scene you
can watch and laugh at again and again. What these
guys do for money and a rush is unf%&$!?g believable.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: XPW at the best
Review: The first XPW King of the Deathmatch tournament is great. The second turned one man into a hardcore legend! The return of the original King of the Deathmatch champion, Supreme, eight men gave their all to survive the tournament filled with barbed wire, thumbtacks, broken glass, nails, lightbulbs, tables, ladders, and chairs. Pogo the Clown, "White Trash" Johnny Webb, Homeless Jimmy, and Nozawa entered the tournament with the stacked deck of the Black Army's Kronus, Kraq, Steve Rizzono, and Vicious Vic Grimes. and the wiiner of the King of the Deathmatch tournament gets an atomatic championship title shot agents THE MESSIAH! I would give you a run down of all the matches but I want you guys to go out and buy it and see it for yourself.If you are into a blood bath wrestling event this event is the best.XPW!XPW!XPW!RULZ

Rating: 2 stars
