They continued the fight on the floor with AKIRA using the broken ends of the tubes to cut Bobby’s head, AKIRA slid Bobby back into the ring which gave Bobby the chance to lay in some offense on AKIRA. Bobby proceeded to pick apart AKIRA with a series of chair shots to his legs, while AKIRA was recovering Bobby set up a couple of tubes across a pair of chairs, AKIRA reversed Bobby’s suplex attempt but Bobby hit him in the head with tubes anyways. AKIRA responded with a bridging German suplex for the first near fall of the match, Bobby hit AKIRA with a tube-assisted short drop DDT for another near fall.

Deathmatch: Orin Viedt vs. Dr. Redacted
Orin took the fight to Dr. Redacted with a couple of tubes to the top of his head followed by a gusset plate. Orin headbutted a couple of tubes into Doctor’s head and then sent him to the floor where Doctor turned the tables and started to beat Orin up around ringside. The Doctor grabbed a trash can but Orin wrestled it away from him and placed it on his head and meekly hit the can with a chair, which is a good thing but it stood out in a Deathmatch show. Orin set up a door bridge on the floor and just kind of meandered around the ring, Doctor fought Orin off and placed him on the door. The doctor climbed on top of the platform, placed the can on his head, and took a nasty bump off the top through the doors. The doctor threw Orin back into the ring and went to the back to grab a weed whacker and hit Orin in the stomach with it. Orin recovered and sent Dr. Redacted into an upside-down chair, followed by another gusset plate to his head and a Giant Swing.

Deathmatch: Matt Tremont vs. Tommy Vendetta
Other than Nick Gage, Matt Tremont has the best entrance in Deathmatch Wrestling, the energy in the room for those entrances is unmatched and truly special. The two traded fists in the center of the ring but Tommy tripped up Tremont and smashed a bunch of tubes across his back but still got sent to the floor, Tremont followed him to the floor but ended up getting stabbed in his horn of scar tissue with a BBQ fork.

ICW American Deathmatch Championship Match: Kasey Kirk (Champion) vs. Brandon Kirk
Husband vs. Wife for the American Deathmatch Championship. The lights turned red and Krule’s music hit but it was a distraction as Kasey tried to roll up her husband but he kicked out and he threw a bundle of tubes across Kasey’s back. He used the broken ends of the tubes to carve away at Kasey’s forehead and followed it up with a couple more tube shots across her head. There was no malice behind any of the strikes, Brandon just wanted to get this over with. Tremont and Vendetta should’ve main-evented. Kasey turned the tables and started breaking tubes across Brandon’s head, Kasey went to the floor and retrieved a door, and set it up in the corner while also throwing another bundle of tubes at Brandon’s head. Maybe Kasey is injured but this match was slower than usual. She went for a crossbody but Brandon got her up on his shoulders and sent her through the door with a Death Valley Driver. They were about to hit each other with more tubes but they both begged off, Kasey started ‘crying’ as they hugged in the ring but she turned it into a small package. Brandon kicked out and hit her with a Death Valley Driver for a near fall, Kasey fired up and hit Brandon with a Piledriver followed by a top rope splash with a chair but the tubes didn’t break. The crowd booed as Kasey did the WWE shocked face. She threw a couple more tubes at Brandon’s head but he continually kicked out. She removed the padding from the ring but was caught by Brandon who planted her on the boards with a Sidewalk Slam. Brandon set up a double-door bridge in the corner and lured Kasey up to the platform where he hit the Psycho Driver for the victory.
