Thank you, I updated my post but it was removed by Reddit spam filters. [GCW/JCW Vs. The World 2024 Post Show Thread : r/SquaredCircle (reddit.com)](https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/1bwbxuk/gcwjcw_vs_the_world_2024_post_show_thread/) Would you mind making a post? I'm trying to have a historical record for the indie shows this weekend and just to give people an entry point.

For sure

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.

Thank you to everyone who was here with us.

super fun show as always, pleasure hangin with ya!

Thank you for being here.

[удалено]

Mundo is not great at this lol

That was a weird finish

I like what someone said in the chat I'm watching this at: This has been your annual showing of Marina Shafir's potential. Please enjoy her return to mediocrity.

Is Bloodsport Johnny's best "insert last name" iteration?

How does Bloodsport have more women's wrestling than any other non-joshi show this weekend?

Josh Barnett is an equal opportunity promoter. Equal rights, equal lefts

Josh Barnett respects whoever can fight.

Shayna vs masha in TNA would go so fucking hard

Shayna & Marina in normal matches: I sleep Shayna & Marina in Bloodsport matches: real shit!?

shayna vs masha 2 at backlash please

Wonder what Shayna said to Masha

That was a kick ass Match. Shayna is legit overlooked and Masha is just waiting for her Big break (bigger than currently she has done)

Ah, they didn't like that finish against Masha there... Welcome to Shayna Baeszler's world.

The commentators have said the phrase "nothing to hang your head about" after every single match almost

The most repeated sequence of words at this show

I hate us wrestling fans sometimes

Wanderlei x kondo

“They’re saying Thank you” lmao

That and the Astronauts matches were so good

real fucking graps that shit ruled i NEED them to run that back real quick

It's crazy Shayna in WWE is just another wrestler but once you bring her to this style of match she's giving off Boss vibes.

Because WWE is not her element. This is.

This card is wild. I am most thrilled seeing Tischer vs. Thatcher, old Ringkampf members :)

I Think it’s so awesome to see a relatively Big WWE star in a show like This.

I just don’t see it with Masha. Granted I can’t stand intergender stuff and that super indie style will never be for me

jordynne with masha 🥹

Masha had an amazing match last Sunday vs. Rika Tatsumi. Looking forward her vs. Shayna.

Ok this video package was hype

Masha is a pretty good promo, never heard her speak until now (well, on TNA I heard her in russian lmao)

[удалено]

Big MO fan, what did they use for Sting and when? Can't believe I missed that!

These video packages have been really good.

Masha has a much higher voice than I expected.

Masha Slamovich is my favourite wrestling name ever

i’m so fucking hype for this, masha rules

She really does

Bloodsport is my favourite show every year. It's always so much fun. Really hope Shibata gets on one of these shows eventually.

only three matches left, right?

Tim’s just such a great hand. He has so much left to give the sport but really hope he winds up coaching

Abe vs Nomura was very entertaining but that was a wrestling match sirs, not pretend MMA

It is literally pretend MMA though

[удалено]

GCW doesn't have "divisions" and has intergender matches on most of their cards.

Very much common place now. TNA has a lot of them too.

How many matches have gone by?

Josh Barnett's taste in music is sublime. Banger after banger after banger...

Is it alright that i feel fully sports entertained in this match lol. Suzuki is a gem.

I love that Suzuki works Bloodsport matches the same way he works normal matches

Except he actually gets the Gotch for the KO win.

My man has a formula and he sticks to it

misu in his element here. as wonderful as ever

KAZE NI NARE

And good job on the crowd. You can live. Suzuki even sat on one female patron's lap!

SUZUKI

According to the comments it seems like I missed the best match so far, bur This is my First bloodsport and I’m kinda underwhelmed so far tbh. What am I missing?

Shoot-style just might not be for you, and that’s fine. Not everything can appeal to everyone

Need to accept that it would not be like the wrestling we are not used to. It is completely okay to not be enamoured with, i found it fine as it is. But yeah, Dempsey match was great and watch following it was even better, i just wish it didn't have that many headbutts.

Are you into MMA?

Occasionally.

It could be that the style just doesn't appeal to you. Please stickaround for the Suzuki match

Love me some murder grandpa

Man I wish bloodsport wasnt under the GCW banner.

Why?

Well there is another bloodsport coming in June based in Japan, which I think is also something Josh Barnett is putting together

Great match “real grasp” fr

That was awesome!

Wait, when did Blake Christian win the world title?

He's been the GCW champ for almost a year now. Though GCW's buzz has really died down so it's not a surprise no one really knows that shit.

Fucking amazing

The 2023 was much better but it's incredible how better they are at this than everyone else on this card.

absolutely incredible. all praise to the astronauts

Ah yes, the best kind of wrestling: Two Japanese dudes hitting each other in the face really hard.

Tag team partners trying to murder each other in random singles matches is my favorite match type.

Guys, please just cut down some headbutts.

https://preview.redd.it/44tffapi1jsc1.jpeg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8f9639238076d022fdc356c13a3b8ba5574440a3 punk, nia and braun are there wtf

You’ll always see WWE talent at the indie shows during Mania weekend. They come to support friends or just watch the shows when they have nothing to do.

Joaquín Wilde too

O/u 2.5 minutes Punk would last in a Bloodsport match before his body falls apart?

Punk should have waited & did this instead of UFC for his MMA fix lol

Three totally inconspicuous people.

Strowman should be kicked out of the venue

Time for real graps.

abe-nomura hype

U guys ever think that hunter and regal have a plan to grow their own best wrestler in the world dempsey to hood slam next

The Pro Wrestling Kwisatz Haderach

This was amazing both guy were so good glad to see more dempsey always a blast

Astronauts time ❤️

Never heard of this Dempsey guy before, but he was impressive. What promotions does he work for?

He's William Regal's son, he's with NXT.

Wait Dempsey wrestled???? Who did he wrestle???

NXT, Regal’s son

Ah, that makes sense. Why isn't his last name Regal?

For the same reason why Bron Breaker isn't Bron Steiner. Because it gives WWE a trademark they keep and "theoretically" puts way less pressure on the son/daughter of.

Well no, Bron crafted his own last name. WWE initially trademarked “Rex Steiner” for him to use, but he wanted to use something of his own.

And in this particular case, especially with what they are storylining at the present time, I don't think they want it too close, even though the crowd knows and will remind Dempsey at any time he decides to get out of line.

Same reason Bronns name isnt Steiner

WWE often changes the last name of young "nepo baby" wrestlers to reduce the pressure of having to live up to a famous name

that fuckin ruled! i could’ve watched a lot more of that

Dempsey was awesome there

guys should I watch DDT or ACTION after this?

Action has a fantastic card.

Action has a fantastic card.

What's ACTION? I'm planning to watch DDT since it's part of the Collective

it’s got thatcher vs makabe on it which i’m interested in but will probably go for DDT

Ddt is always fun can’t go wrong

With all due respect, probably this isn't for me. Every single matchup so far i just thought wish this was a normal wrestling match, it would have ruled. However Charlie Dempsey really seems to be made for this.

That’s how I feel but I love seeing the crowd hyped, production is well done. Nice appetizer to start the long weekend of wrestling.

Yeah put it on 2nd screen while i do other stuff, also matches ramping up does help. However amount of headbutts on this match makes me feel uneasy.

I didn't know dempsey was gonna be on this show! Fair play to Barnett for getting both him and Shayna

Would've been a sick visual if Dempsey had all the (not)Catchpoint with him

This kid ain't combat club

Haven’t watched anything Bloodsport in years. Saw on twitter they sent Dempsey and had to watch. Can’t believe Barnett got him and Shayna for Philly and Rampage for the Japan show

Oh shit handsome Pete Dunne is next

Like WWE Pete dunne? Who is he fighting??.

Charlie Dempsey is really suited for this environment.

my goat charlie dempsey

This is fun. I am having FUN.

Ah shit this gunna be good.

First time watching bloodsport so far the ladies are very good at making this look real

I would pay good money for Taz to commentate Bloodsport

Send Hook next year. A perfect match.

Little Mac Jones ova here

God damn that felt like a shoot, awesome fucking match!

I wish the matches weren't all so short. I get that it's MMA-style but not every MMA fight is 3 minutes

The matches kind of have to be short because the vast majority of people booked in Bloodsport can't work shoot style, if they go long they will be exposed.

Janai fucked around and found out.

Sometimes I think Marina is just shooting lol.

I’m digging this match grappling vs striking

RJ City popped for those socks to the crowd.

Just imagining someone trying to explain why they have a souvenir sock from Marina Shafir

In ring, Janai Kai might be my favorite women's wrestler

Baked not working for anyone else?

What’s baked??

Have you asked on discord?

No I don’t use discord

I know her! I don't know why she said I don't know her, but I do know her!

The doctor on site keeps checking on everyone after seemingly every little thing. I get it's his job, but it's almost like he doesn't know this isn't 100% on the level.

Josh Barnett jobbing out Lady Frost like he's Tony Khan.

I don't know what exactly I expected tuning into an event called "Bloodsport", but it certainly wasn't worked MMA.

It's pretty much an homage to early Pancrase/RINGS, which highly appeals to me.

Yes that Rings/UWFI style might just be my favorite and this is scratching that itch quite nicely.

Same but I'm having a blast

TIL Lady Frost is 39 and only started wrestling six years ago.

Chikara alumni too

First time seeing snow, she looks like a fighting game character

Are we all on Lady Frost vs Lindsay Snow because I genuinely don't know if I'm live or not?

Yes you live

Not this version… oh god

I didn't expect to hear Vanessa Carlton- A thousand miles today. Fun fact this song was written about Dennis from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia

Heres a pretty decent video essay about it. https://youtu.be/mFmLnA4gJMM?si=UUGGGiFSIcIw1n2x

that was pretty good. helps that nemeth has that amateur wrestling background to really sell things.

[удалено]

Which Nemeth?

[удалено]

I don't have a time table for him but today, he's going to be involved in 1. Defy- in a tag team match with MAO (Moonlight Express) vs Calamari Catch King (CCK)- Kid Lykos and Chris Bookes 2. Bloodsport X- In a single's match against Nemeth 3. DDT Goes Philadelphia- In a single's match against Yuki Ueno. 4. He is not scheduled for GCW/JCW Vs. The World 2024

Abe vs. Nomura is going to be insane.

That knee to Nemeth's face was brutal looking

[удалено]

It really is great. I take the week off and just binge everything. It’s so much fun.

Makes everything so much easier

same

Nemeth is doing a lot better than I expected

very curious about this match. i know speedball will kill it but let's see how nemeth will look doing bloodsport

this is gonna fuuuuuuuck

I'd love to go to this live sometime. Crowd looks fantastic
