BloosSport 5 Review
GCW Josh Barnetts BloodSport 5 Review Preshow notes: This is my first BloodSport. I'm pretty excited to watch this. I like the set up, I feel like Raw Underground stole the style of BloodSport. -------- Bad Dude Tito vs Calder McColl -Really back and forth. McColl looks like he can work himself out of holds and submissions. Tito hit a huge german suplex and hits McColl with countless palm strikes throughout the match. McColl hits a huge knee then goes for a submisson and on his second attempt he locks in a sleeper. Rating: 4/5 -------- Calvin Tankman vs Nolan Edwards -Edwards eats blows from Tankman thoughtout the fight. Edwards gets a few good blows in like a flying knee. Edwards tries to lock in a few submissons, but the size difference was too much. Tankmans slams Edwards and uses blows to secure his win. Rating: 3/5 -------- Kal Jack vs Super Beast -Kal Jack gets a couple of huge slams in on Super Beast. Super Beast pulls off a tornado kick outta nowhere. Super Beast gets a few good strikes and reversals in, but Kal Jack puts Super Beast out with a side choke headlock. Rating: 3/5 -------- Royce Isaacs vs Alex Coughlin -A lot of back and forth between the two. Isaacs reverses a armbar to a cloverleaf submisson that surprises everyone. Coughlin gets a few good strikes and tries to lock in some solid holds. Isaacs however, hits a huge backdrop suplex and then locked in a full stretch dragon sleeper. Rating: 3/5 ------- Simon Grimm vs Rocky Romero -Both men traded amazing slams/suplexs and submissons. Extremely surprising fight. Rating: 5/5 ------ JR Kratos vs Chris "Dirty Daddy" Dickinson -Kratos pulled out some powerhouse moves and an explosive start, he followed up with some good holds. Dickinson got in some good strikes and a crazy german suplex. Dickinson comes out of nowhere with a solid sleeper. Rating: 3.5/5 ------ Semi-Main Event: Filthy Tom Lawlor vs Jeff Cobb -Lawlor got in a good amount of holds in. Cobb pulled off several huge slams and managed to escape all of Lawlor's holds and lock in a winning full nelson. Rating: 4.5./5 ----- Main Event: Jon Moxley vs Davey Boy Smith Jr -(Sidenote: This was the main reason I checked out BloodSport 5) This was one hellva brawl. Smith Jr used his family knowledge of submisson to combat Moxley's chaotic style and just pure brawling style. Rating: 5/5 =========================== Overall Rating: 4/5 - The best fights of the night were easily, Romero vs Grimm and Moxley vs Smith Jr. Grimm vs Romero had style and techinque, It also showed off the amount of talent each man has. Moxley vs Smith Jr was just a striaght brawl mixed with a surprising amount of submisson mixed in. Several other matches like Cobb vs Lawlor and Tito vs McColl were pretty exciting fights to watch. I'll definitely be checking out the next BloodSport.
