WARNING: STRONG VIOLENCE AHEAD

Welcome back to No Peace Underground. Not only did the no-ring company of chaos start Mania season off with a bang through Fatalism and end it with a bang with Shallow Graves, but they also made a mid-point of hectic violence and dream matches lovingly dubbed MurderMania. New Fear City had tagged in to help and gave us seven matches of technical brilliance, high-flying, and sheer murder with some unexpected faces and an actual ring! You’d see No Peace regulars battling new faces and icons in a midnight show of epic proportions, ending in a Taipei Deathmatch. Let’s get into the action.

Treehouse Lee defeated JJ Garrett via Spinning Elbow Drop

Up first, a battle between a headlock master and a high-flying savant. Lee and Garrett are both highly unique and highly creative performers so seeing them in a match together was a very interesting prospect. They started technically and started picking up the pace until Lee took Garrett’s head off with a spin kick. Lee continued to dominate and launched himself ¾ of the way across the ring with a springboard elbow. Thot Steiner took a powder and Lee chased him around the ring. This was all a ruse and Garrett launched a sneak attack before beating Lee around ringside. He missed a corner charge and Lee made him pay with boots and elbows, then nailed him with a twisting elbow drop. Lee nailed a spinning scissor kick and Garrett made him pay with a corner curb stomp. He continued to batter Lee with a discus clothesline and nailed another corner stomp but couldn’t keep Lee down. Garrett tried to climb to the top but missed his move and ate a hammerlock headlock driver. Lee ascended to the top and killed off Garrett with the spinning elbow drop. Garrett had really made Lee work he but as always, The Rad Boy Ballerina worked his way up and creatively put down another competitor. He wasn’t allowed to celebrate though as Kit “the dick” Osbourne decided to interfere and smash him in with a chair. Osbourne is still salty that No Peace isn’t booking him.

The second match was a scramble boasting a whole ton of star power. Shane Mercer the Iron Demon, Lucky 13 deathmatch veteran, the near-invincible Neil Diamond Cutter, Stiff Robo Ginger Gary Jay, and The Modern-Day Man in Black Jake Crist were about to tear each other apart. Mercer instantly threw Cutter through a vinyl record door, then systematically launched every other man through a door with a power move. Mercer and Jay linked up to hit Mercer with a double dive and held him in place so everyone else could dive on him too, Lucky hitting a beautiful corkscrew Moonsault. 13 continued to press his advantage by hitting Cutter with the Moonsault Bomb/Package Piledriver combo and Crist launched out of the air to crush 13 with a crossbody. He caught Jay with a Crist cutter and the pair slugged and kicked it out. Jay swatted Crist away and KO’ed Cutter with a Falcon Arrow but 13 broke it up with a superkick. 13 KO’ed Jay, then Cutter KO’ed him with a Saito and a Cutter. Mercer re-entered, dragged Cutter into Moonsault and Battery, and took the win. The Iron Demon could not be stopped and he’d bested not one but four opponents. Can anyone stop this beast? This scramble was really short but my god was it awesome.

The Hallowed (Otis Cogar & Lord Crewe) defeated Nolan Edward & Wolfe Taylor via Hallowed Uranage on Edward

Father James Mitchell’s soldiers The Hallowed were about to kill off some of No Peace’s young and hungry to prove a point. Cogar and Crewe are monsters in this scene, could Taylor and Edward co-exist and oust them? We’d seen them beat the hell out of each other, could they work together to beat the hell out of a common foe? It started with brawling as different fights broke out in different places and Edward took control over Crewe, throwing him away with a Spin Cycle. They fell away outside where Crewe broke a record over him and Cogar and Taylor entered the ring. The Hallowed started to double-team Taylor and Cogar slammed Edward down for Crewe’s Cyclone Boot. Taylor saved Edward from doom and stunned Crewe, then threw a door to Edward so they could both blast the Hallowed with doors. The Hallowed also grabbed door parts and everyone got hammered with doors. Taylor downed Crewe with a powerbomb and Edward leaped over him to spear Cogar through a door. They nearly put away with Crewe with a flying door press but Cogar made the save. Cogar beat down Edward and Crewe booted a chair into Taylor’s face. Edward got pelted and hoisted into a Hallowed Uranage onto a chair for the win. The Hallowed had claimed more victims even if Taylor and Edward had given them hell in the process. Much like the matches before it, this was short, sweet, and full of heavy hits. Right as Cogar was about to dump the pig face on Edward some rival wrestlers (I think?) appeared and the Hallowed brawled with them to the back.

Tony Deppen defeated Jake Something via Roll-Up

Tony Deppen always ends up in situations like this. His newest opponent was once again a massive monster. Jake Something was debuting in No Peace and he was set to murder Tony Deppen. He might even succeed since Deppen’s last battle with a giant didn’t go so well. Deppen launched himself at Something for a quick attack but Something threw him away. He lit up Something with slaps but it wasn’t very effective and Something threw him into the corner. Deppen tried one final thing and finally cut down Something, then dropped a knee on his neck. Something caught him out of a dive and slammed him on the apron but Deppen dodged his charge and Something got a throat full of rope. Deppen dived again and this time took out Something with a Tope con Hilo. He followed up with a missile dropkick but couldn’t do much more as Something grabbed him by the neck and clubbed him to the mat. The two struck it out and Deppen tried to rush Something with a lariat but Something clipped him and Deppen tumbled, clutching his neck and walking it off. He threatened Something with a chair as a fake-out and poked him in the eyes. Something quickly fired back with a body block and tossed Deppen across the ring. He crushed Deppen with a corner spear and tried to snap him in half with a stretch. Deppen started to dodge more and struck back hard, tanking another vicious forearm to hit a sliding Meteora. He nailed Something with a double stomp and went for the KO knee but Something clobbered him with another forearm, clubbed him into the mat, and sent him crashing with a powerbomb. Both guys traded bombs and Deppen avoided a piledriver by rolling Something up for the win. This was a tough watch. These two just flat-out beat the hell out of each other. Deppen scored his first win in No Peace against an absolute monster. Post-match, a Robert Martyr package showed where he cut one of the most scathing promos I’ve heard in a long time on AKIRA.

The End (Parrow & Odinson) & Orin Veidt defeated The Rejects (John Wayne Murdoch & Reed Bentley) & Colby Corino via Door-VD on Corino

Six-man tag action followed that as we saw The End gain a Wizard King and The Rejects gained themselves an Ugly Duckling. The End are still undefeated in No Peace, could the Rejects somehow topple that? Once again, brawls broke out everywhere as Veidt went for Corino, Parrow for Murdoch, and Bentley for Odinson. The End were dominating The Rejects and Veidt seemed to have Corino under wraps with only Bentley getting strikes in against Odinson. Chaos continued to reign everywhere as The End made a monstrous chair pile. Corino launched himself at Veidt and Parrow and Murdoch suplexed Odinson and Bentley into the chair pile. Corino got the better of Veidt in-ring, dodging a handspring into a lariat but Veidt quickly got revenge by breaking a chair with Corino’s back and a Cradle Shock. Corino and Veidt continued to own the ring as Murdoch and Parrow dragged themselves to their corners and Odinson continued to brawl with Bentley. They both tagged and Parrow flattened Murdoch, then powerbombed Corino to the outside. The End continued to bully Murdoch as Odinson slammed Veidt, then Parrow onto him. Bentley made the save and the Rejects murdered another chair with Odinson’s head and a double-DDT. Corino got in on the double team and the pair continued to keep Odinson grounded. Murdoch ate the F10 and Bentley drove Odinson through a door with a DVD. Parrow killed Bentley with Greetings from Asbury Park. Veidt and Corino went for round three and Corino scored another near-fall with a Blue Thunder Bomb. Veidt fired back with a leaping DDT and The Rejects got hammered with the SuperCollider outside. A door was set up and Veidt took the win with a second rope Door-VD. The End remains undefeated and Veidt proved to be a vital component in keeping them that way. Everyone here contributed to a chaotic brawl and wild tornado-style tag that had everyone flinching.

Jamie Senegal defeated Ace Austin via Backslide Cage Pin

Okay, confession time. This is a match I’d never considered ever happening until it was announced. This is such a wildcard bout that should kick so much ass. Jamie Senegal is one of the world’s most talented divas and Ace Austin is the XXX Division champion, all bets were off on this one. The heat was on before the match even began as everyone was in anticipation of Ace Austin taking his shirt off and we got a clap for friendship. Senegal wanted to take the fight outside but Austin was way too comfortable in the ring. She took a seat and waited for him to follow. He finally relented and Senegal started a brawl on the outside. After bouncing Austin off the walls, she dragged him out of the ring again and he finally started striking back, flooring her with a rolling ring-out forearm. He kicked the soul out of a seated Senegal and signalled for a dive but she forearmed him out of the air. He leaped over her apron strikes but Senegal caught his kick and dragged him onto the apron, then crotched him on the ring post. She continued to bounce him between the post and the apron, screaming when he rolled back in the ring. She tried to assault him again but he caught her in the ropes and gave her a kicking, scrubbing her face in the corner. Austin continued to show his mean streak by choking her out on the bottom rope and Suplexing Senegal around the ring. He barred an arm and revealed a playing card to give Senegal paper cuts between her fingers. Senegal tried to fight back but Austin caught her off the ropes into a spinebuster. They fought around the corners and Senegal finally got her comeback with a Hurricanrana. She clotheslined him down and stunned him with a head kick for a tornado neck-breaker. Austin slammed free of the follow-up and massacred Senegal with corner clotheslines. He scored a near-fall with a twisting kick and drove her into the mat with two cross-armed slams and a vicious stomp driver. Senegal stunned him out of the fold with a kiss and accidentally took out the ref and Austin with roundhouse kicks. She nearly won with a moonsault but there was no ref to count. We got a good ol’ fashioned slugfest and Austin trying to kick down Senegal only to get caught. Senegal floated over into a backslide cage and won the match. This was an exceptional fight and both really took it to another level. Hopefully, we can see Jamie Senegal get an XXX Division title shot…

Taipei Deathmatch: Casanova Valentine defeated Mad Man Pondo via Barbed-Wire door Stage 5 Clinger

Last but not least, the main event. The first time ever. Mad Man Pondo, deathmatch icon, debuts at No Peace to battle the first champion Barbed-Wire Jesus, Casanova Valentine in a Taipei Deathmatch. This was going to get bloody fast as the pair had glass knuckles and a whole load of other plunder to play with. Plus, Markus Crane was officiating this one. Valentine instantly went on the attack as Crane checked him for weapons and broke a bottle on Pondo’s head. He rammed his knuckles into Pondo’s head and took the garden weasel to Pondo’s back and stomach. He then upped the ante and hammered a stop sign into Pondo’s groin with the weasel. They brawled outside and Valentine introduced Pondo to the ring bell and gave the camera close-up footage of him getting cut. The two traded glass knucks and Pondo jabbed Valentine in the eyes before breaking a door on him. Valentine hit him with glass to the back and a chair shot. Pondo kicked low and went back to the eyes, then let a fan chop Valentine. It didn’t stop there as Pondo gave him a chair shot to the head and stabbed a pen into his temple. He turned the lawn weasel against Valentine, smashing it into his head and Valentine smashed Pondo in the head with a door. Pondo drove him into the ring post and brought out a cinderblock and sledgehammer. He cut Valentine from arse to neck with his saw bat before raking across his head. He paid Valentine back for the stop sign shot earlier by driving the sign into Valentine’s balls with a bowling ball and did the same with the cinderblock and sledgehammer. Crane helped Pondo set up a barbed-wire door and Pondo bounced the stop sign of Valentine’s head once again. That would have ended the match but Crane was at the bar. The pair fought around the door and Valentine just to say overpowered Pondo into the Stage 5 Clinger slam for the win. That ended a fun scrap between two very game fighters and put the end to a really fun show. Well, it would of but Atticus Cogar appeared and attacked Markus like a little bitch. It might not have been the ultraviolent glass-fest we’d normally see but it was a class show bolstered by the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia parody scenes In between. A nice fun mix of wrestling and barbarism.
