For the first time in months, I’ll get to enjoy (and gif) a GCW show from home! This Sunday’s GCW Presents So Much Fun in Atlantic City will be the second event in a weekend double-header. The last outlaws will be back on the Jersey shore all this weekend. The good times start with the Nick Gage Invitational 5 on Saturday at the Sandlot outside the Showboat Casino. The next day’s festivities will be a return to the Carousel Room for GCW; Sunday’s show is their first one there since Run Rickey Run back in February. That show was an instant classic and, just in looking at the card, this one looks like it’ll be crazy from start to finish! Catch all of the action this Sunday at 4 pm EST on IWTV!

Gringo Loco vs. Aeroboy
This was the first match announced for this show, but we knew we were in for something good from this point. Any time we have Gringo Loco in singles or scramblef**k match, it’s a great time. Expect to see some wonderful gasp-inducing flippy shit in this one!
GCW Presents So Much Fun
Jimmy Lloyd vs. Holidead
Welcome to GCW, Holidead! The first one to meet you at the door is the one most likely to put you through a door. I’m sure that Holidead is more than enough of a challenge for Jimmy Lloyd, however, despite being the new blood in town.
IronBeast vs. Ugly Ducklings
The easy pitch for this match would be to say, ‘it ain’t gonna be pretty.’ My take, though? This one is going to be so crazy that it’s beautiful. Anyone who isn’t aware of how the Ugly Ducklings get down in the ring might mistake this for an easy win for the already powerful team of IronBeast. Sure, KTB and Mercer are freakish beings among humans, but the Ducks are nuts. This will be an insane tag match!

Jordan Oliver vs. Juicy Finau
Juicy’s on the East Coast now, ya’ll, so watch out. He’s taking on a much different Jordan Oliver than what we’ve seen before, too. Oliver’s made a lot of headway in shaping up his new physique. We’re gonna get some new and crazy shit from both Juicy and Big Breakfast, bet on it.
GCW Welcomes Back: Ace Austin and Joshua Bishop
GCW’s always bringing in the movers and shakers worldwide, and two of the hottest names on the scene will be in AC this Sunday. Ace Austin and Joshua Bishop will be making their returns to the GCW ring, but it remains to be seen who they’ll be going up against. However, I’ll say that no matter who they put against either of these two guys – or even if they face off against each other! – we won’t be disappointed in the outcome in the least. These dudes deliver.

Special Appearance by Tony Atlas
Proof positive that Brett Lauderdale has everybody’s number saved. Tony Atlas was the last person I’d expect to see show up at a GCW show in 2020, but hey, here we are! I’m actually interested in seeing WTF Tony Atlas is gonna do this Sunday in Atlantic City, the guy’s lasted in the wrestling business forever, and I know he’s still got something crazy to say.
Eric Ryan vs. Chris Dickinson
If there was anyone who could serve as a gigantic roadblock in the way of the great year Eric Ryan has enjoyed, it’s Chris Dickinson. I don’t care what kind of good run you’re on; when the Dirty Daddy steps in your path, you’re going to slow down and watch the hell out. That’s exactly what Eric Ryan needs to do this Sunday because we all know that Dickinson is coming into this match, not only expecting to win but to mess Eric Ryan up in the process.
Atticus Cogar vs. Cole Radrick
Sure, Atticus Cogar is far from the most likable dude on the indie scene. He’s the polar opposite of Cole Radrick in that respect. However, Cogar’s recent promo for this one sold this situation perfectly – he’s the guy who the system couldn’t crush, and to him, nobody else can match his level of toughness. Cogar outlined his story pretty damn well in his promo, but one thing I think he’s forgetting is he doesn’t quite know where Radrick’s been either. I’m certain we’re gonna see Cogar take Radrick to those dark places on Sunday just to find out if there’s more to Raddy than we’ve seen.

Rickey Shane Page vs. ????
I have no idea who the opponent will be. I have a slight notion that 44OH! may or may not be involved. One thing we all know, though? The title will not be up for grabs.
Lio Rush vs. Blake Christian
Get your cameras ready. I’m expecting this to be one of the great matches that closes out the roller-coaster year that was 2020. The independent wrestling MVP of the year, Blake Christian, is poised on the brink of greatness. Before he can launch himself into his greatest heights, though, he has to face the challenge coming from someone who’s been held in this same lofty regard. It’s a fantastic story to tell for a match, and I can’t wait to see this one play out.
Alex Zayne’s Final GCW Match
Most recently announced by GCW is that this Sunday marks the final match in the promotion for Alex Zayne. This is very bittersweet! It doesn’t feel like over a year since GCW gave Zayne the platform he deserved, but we’ve seen SO MUCH of that awesome fire sauce from this man since last year’s Backyard Wrestling show. There’s not much known about where Zayne’s headed…but for this show to be his last GCW appearance is huge news for his career. This can only mean he’ll go out on Sunday just as wild as he came in!
This weekend promises to be one great big much-needed diversion in hectic times, so get in on the action starting this Saturday on FITE.tv with the Nick Gage Invitational 5 and then tune in on Sunday afternoon at 4 pm EST on IWTV for So Much Fun!
