GCW - GCW/JCW Vs. The World 2024 (4/4/2024)
JCW Championship: Masha Slamovich (c) vs. Syuri
Really enjoyed this match. I love these marathon time-limit draws - they put a wrestler's stamina and overall skillset to the test. I've mostly seen Masha in sprints or wild indie-rific spotfests, so I wasn't sure how she'd fare in this format against a stamina monster like Syuri. Turns out, she has serious skills. This was a head-to-head battle in every way: grappling, submissions, strikes, counters, endurance. Inoki-Robinson flashed through my mind. It's not like they were just sitting in rest holds for extended periods, but if you're expecting a 2.9 kickout head-drop fest, you might be disappointed. ****1/4
