I almost want to download it, just in a moment of perverse curiosity

I still stand by Messiah/Supreme from Go Funk Yourself as a great US deathmatch.

Is there at least uncomfortable sleazy nudity?

I have only gotten through an hour of this shitshow but holy fuck.....starts out with some of the most terrible audio issues known to man, the entrance music stuff was so loud and brazen and static-filled that I almost wanted to shoot myself, then the mic issues trying to hear Kris Kloss, then Rob Black comes out and cuts a bizzare promo against just about everyone, followed by a kinda sorta XPW alumni rollcall of Jasmine St. Clair, Veronica Caine, etc, And then the matches start, a Silas Young match, then a Pogo the Clown match which was goddamn terrible, and then a strangely intruiging match between Kamille and Taya that probably would be better than this in any other company. At that point I stopped once I saw this show was 7 FUCKING HOURS LONG. I'll get to more of it during the week but this is going to be tough to get through!

The crowd wasnt very large to start, so I can just imagine how little there will be at the end. Then again this was in what looked like an outside bar, so chances are the alcohol flow will keep the crowd going on some capacity?

Nothing quite yet but the old gals from XPW came out wearing not a whole lot, and there is some new chick in the company named Kat Martini (I'm thinking she's a pornstar in training?) who may or may have not been wearing any panties underneath a super short skirt

FWIW, the Butcher/Hoodfoot match that Schneider talked about in that Ringer article is available by itself.

Getting ads for this on Facebook, doesn’t seem to be an official XPW event but the tickets go through their site.

Last XPW show actually was a reasonable length. Turns out people will be OK if you just do the first round of a tournament in one show.

I've expected the unexpected the last 10 years but I am not ready or prepared for a competent XPW.

This ICW: NHB vs XPW feud is a battle of a piece of trash vs a piece of shit, but it's incredibly entertaining watching them try to out asshole each other.

ICW: NHB has Homeless Jimmy, though

That's what's been making this entertaining. ICW goes to LA and brings in a bunch of XPW wrestlers. XPW goes to NJ and signs a contract for one of the places that ICW uses as their homebase there, so ICW brings in more XPW wrestlers. ICW then moved their Texas show (which was selling horribly) back to NJ to run read to head against XPW, and brings in big deathmatch names, while XPW does almost nothing.

Ah, so they're going after each other like how XPW/CZW did in 2002/2003, but without either company being particularly meaningful to the scene as a whole.

Pretty much. It all started when ICW announced their first trip to LA and announced Shlak on the card. Since he's XPW champion, XPW didn't allow Shalk on the card. They're acting like he signed an exclusive deal with them and aren't allowing anyone who holds an XPW title to appear on any other shows in their "territory." ICW owner Danny Demanto then declared "war" on XPW.
