INSANE light tube bump that legit looks like something out of a Hollywood stunt flick.. You mean the one through the wooden platform? I don't remember if it's been mentioned here or not but TJ was knocked out on that one, in case you couldn't tell from the dvd. A friend of mine was on that side taking pictures when it happened and he said PJ Drummond was looking around like he didn't know whether to call the match or not. that would be the one. It looked like it was pulled directly from a James Bond film or something.. You could also tell that TJ was expecting the wood to catch him, but man, the platform giving out made the bump go from crazy to unbelievable to see. Just imagine how amazing it would have looked if they went with the inside to the outside over the top ropes bump..

The floor there is just a tarp over a basketball court, one of the hardest indoor ones I've ever played on. And I'm pretty sure the South Charleston Community Center wouldn't like that one bit.

You do not know how good it feels to see posts like Obo's. Everyone involved with this show busted their asses to make it happen and the emotional payoff was huge. And i thank every one of those people cause the show was one of the best wrestling shows ever(dont matter wat fed or style) GET THIS DVD!

I was hoping I'd get my copy today. Tracking info says it's here in Atlanta and left the facility, but the mail usually comes around 5:00. Hopefully it'll be here tomorrow by noon.

Just finished the DVD last night and I have to agree. Best Death Match Tournament I have ever seen. Every match was solid and had a nice mix of wrestling and deathmatch wrestling/weapons.
It has set the bar for future deathmatch tournaments and really made a Star out of Thumbtack Jack for those that may have not seen his work.

Every year, Masters of Pain raises the bar for what is expected out of an American death match tournament. Not just from the "OMG! that's sick!" aspect that Deep South brought with pits burning AIDS infected razor wire shopping carts, but with an amazing work ethic and stipulations that work with the wrestlers that are in them, while also booking only the very top of the death match field.
I dunno if I'm in the minority, but I'd much rather watch a death match tournament with 8 guys where The Juggulator is the weak link, than one with 32 where Juggs is one of the strong names in the tournament.

Just finished watching Masters of Pain. Jack vs. Pondo really wasn't a great "match," but it was one of the sickest, most disgusting things I've ever seen. The stipulation was innovative and brutal, and will probably be seen at death match tournaments in future years in various forms. Necro vs. Juggz was as close as I've seen to a comedy death match. Necro getting his ass kicked by the bucket was hilarious. Toby vs. Havoc was a fun brawl. I wish they had some closeups of what those little metal things were. One of them tore a hole in Havoc's back though, so they must have been pretty sharp. Younger vs. Ito was a match I've been looking forward to ever since I was introduced to Ito a while back. It was a bit of a let down for me, just because I think my expectations were so high. I'm sure carpet strips hurt like hell, but they don't come off well on TV. They just look like pieces of balsa wood. Even more then Younger/Ito, I've wanted to see Jack vs. Necro for a year now. And it didn't disappoint one bit. It was the match of the night for me. What happened to TJ's finger was just disgusting. The ending was also a huge surprise, which I loved. Leaves the door open for a hell of a rematch some time down the road. KOTDM '09, maybe? Ito/Havoc... wow... with one of the sickest contraptions I've ever seen. The barbed wire trampoline did not disappoint. And they did something with the spider web that I've always wanted to see done. Great, great match. In the finals, I got chills when, as Thumbtack Jack (who looked like he'd been in a horrific car accident) was coming out, he looked at the ring and said, "That shit is wrong." When Thumbtack Jack says something like that, you know it's going to be sick. Also, for the first time that I know of in an electrified light tube match, they really played up the fact that they were hot. And TJ said something that I've always thought in death matches... when the ref said he was in the ropes, TJ said, "It's a death match tournament. **** the rules!" Of all the amazing spots, the frog splash might have been my favorite of the whole night. The final bump looked awesome and you could tell that Jack was really proud to have won and show what he can do. Pondo, get that man a trophy!!!

Pondo, get that man a trophy!!! you know how much it costs to ship stuff to and from Germany? Jesus Christ on fire in a hand basket. You walk into the post office to ship something to Germany, you might as well drop your pants right there and bend over, because they are about to I have a potty mouth you in the ass.

Woah... calm down there. I was merely continuing the joke that TJ started by commenting that he didn't get a trophy for winning. You seem to think you're the king of droll humor around here, but you sure don't comprehend it very well.

more of a social commentary on how the Postal Service absolutely molests on international shipping these days than anything..
It may be humorous to you, but from someone who ships stuff a lot.. it's painful. It hurts right here man.. You can't see, but I'm pointing to my wallet and my heart.
