ICW No Holds Barred (ICW NHB)<\/strong> returns to IndependentWrestling.tv for a two-night spectacular called Deathmatch Circus<\/strong><\/em>, featuring some crazy action and a bunch of incredible deathmatch match-ups. The action comes from Millville, New Jersey, and airs live on IWTV<\/a> this Friday at 8pm EST.<\/p>\n

Alex Colon vs. Alex Ocean<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

Alex Colon<\/strong> continues to be one of the most underrated grapplers – deathmatch or not – in the US indies and the Game Changer Wrestling (GCW)<\/strong> regular is also becoming a Gatekeeper in ICW NHB as well. The 2019 GCW Tournament of Survival 4<\/strong><\/em> winner is no stranger to deathmatches – he also held his own in a tour of Japan earlier this year – and he’ll be going into Friday ready to face a young star now making his own name in the deathmatch circuit. Alex Ocean, a regular with\u00a0Coastal Championship Wrestling (CCW)<\/strong>, has also cut his teeth in Mexico with\u00a0Desastre Total Ultraviolento (DTU)<\/strong> and faced\u00a0Eric Ryan<\/strong>, this year’s 2020 IWA Mid South King of the Deathmatches<\/em><\/strong>, at last month at the Deathmatch Drive-In<\/strong><\/em>. Another big test for Ocean as he becomes one of ICW NHB’s breakout stars in 2020.<\/p>\n

Reed Bentley vs. Dale Patricks<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

Reed Bentley <\/strong>is\u00a0one-half of\u00a0The Rejects\u00a0<\/strong>(with\u00a0Johny Wayne Murdoch<\/strong>) and a former 3x IWA Mid South<\/strong>\u00a0Heavyweight Champion and 3x Tag Team Champion with The Rejects (IWA-MS, Paradigm Pro Wrestling<\/strong>, GCW). A violent man, he’s going up against Indiana’s Dale Patricks<\/strong>, who had a memorable run in this year’s\u00a0King of the Deathmatches<\/em>, beating Josh Crane<\/strong> and Aeroboy<\/strong> to make it to the semi-finals where he bowed out to SHLAK<\/strong>. A regular with IWA Mid South and Indiana’s Wild Championship Wrestling Outlaws (WCWO)<\/strong>, he’s making his ICW NHB debut on Friday.<\/p>\n

Eddy Only vs. Eric Ryan<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>Two members of GCW World Champion Rickey Shane Page<\/strong>‘s 44OH<\/strong> faction will face off against each other in a Taipei Deathmatch. While\u00a0Eric Ryan\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Eddy Only\u00a0<\/strong>are usually terrorizing the indies together, on Friday they will face each other. Eric Ryan won this year’s IWA Mid South\u00a0King of the Deathmatches<\/em> last weekend (with help from Only), so he’s on a huge momentum, but Eddy Only will be out to prove he’s got the chops to keep up with the other names in the stable.<\/p>\n

SHLAK vs. Jeff King
\n<\/strong>\"\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

Speaking of\u00a0King of the Deathmatches<\/em>, SHLAK was the man who Eric Ryan defeated in the finals, and let’s just say SHLAK isn’t in a great mood, considering it took Ryan and several of his 44OH teammates to bring the big man down. But he’s got an equally insane opponent on Friday, as he faces off against Michigan’s Motor City Madman, Jeff King<\/strong>. A 20-year veteran, he\u2019s currently a regular with Detroit\u2019s\u00a0Horror Slam<\/strong>, but also competes for GCW,\u00a0Hardcore Hustle Organization (H2O)<\/strong>, and IWA M-S amongst others.<\/p>\n

Mance Warner vs. Tony Deppen
\n<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>Two names who have become synonymous with hard-hitting match-ups, Mance Warner<\/strong> and Tony Deppen<\/strong> both had huge 2019s. These two longtime regulars with GCW and ICW NHB had their first-ever singles match this past January at GCW Just Being Honest<\/strong><\/em>, where Deppen pulled out the win, but now in a deathmatch setting of the Deathmatch Circus<\/em>, its anyone’s game, but with ol’ Mancer’s wildman persona, you’d have to think this is Warner’s time to even the score.<\/p>\n

John Wayne Murdoch vs. Akira<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>John Wayne Murdoch\u00a0is no stranger to violence, both as a singles wrestler and in tag team action with\u00a0The Rejects\u00a0alongside\u00a0Reed Bentley. Murdoch is a 5x\u00a0IWA Mid-South Heavyweight Champion and has held tag team gold with The Rejects in GCW, IWA Mid South, and Paradigm Pro Wrestling (PPW), and won the IWA-MS 2016\u00a0King of the Deathmatches<\/em> Tournament. He’s facing another of ICW NHB’s breakout stars of 2020 in the “The Deathmatch Samurai” Akira<\/strong>. The rising star went viral with his huge match against Matt Tremont<\/strong> last month at ICW NHB Volume 3: Deathmatch Drive-In<\/strong><\/em> – where he scored a huge upset – and now all eyes will be on Akira as he faces another hardcore legend.<\/p>\n
