If you can name a deathmatch icon then Pondo probably wrestled them.\u00a0 Pondo will need to put all of his experience to use against Justice.\u00a0 Justice has made a name for himself outside of the deathmatch world, namely in\u00a0<strong>Absolute Intense Wrestling<\/strong>, but has also competed in some brutal deathmatches for some of the premiere deathmatch companies today.<\/p>\n<h2>Eric Ryan vs MASADA<\/h2>\n<p>With a combined roughly 35 years of experience in the ring, you can be sure that both Ryan and MASADA know how to inflict hurt on their opponents.\u00a0 Ryan won the 2020 King Of The Deathmatch tournament, a tournament MASADA won in 2009.\u00a0 In addition to the KOTD tournament, MASADA has won multiple Tournament Of Deaths in <strong>Combat Zone Wrestling <\/strong>(CZW) as well as the Nick Gage Invitational and Texas Death Match Massacre tournaments in the past.\u00a0 Eric Ryan is very much still the present of deathmatch wrestling and MASADA will be out to prove that his best days aren&#8217;t behind him.<\/p>\n<h2>Jimmy Lloyd &amp; Jason Gory vs G-Raver &amp; Brandon Kirk<\/h2>\n<p>Jason Gory and Brandon Kirk may not know what they&#8217;re in for with this match as it promises to be a war between Lloyd and Raver.\u00a0 G-Raver suffered an injury in 2019 that <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2021\/01\/15\/g-ravers-recovery-road-to-wrestling\/\" target=\"_self\">put him on the shelf<\/a> for 14 months.\u00a0 It was Jimmy Lloyd who inadvertently caused that injury but Raver never forgot, and upon his return, he didn&#8217;t wait long to go right after Lloyd.\u00a0 Things only got more heated from there with the two competing in a No Rope Barbed Wire match just last month at GCW\u00a0<em>Take Kare<\/em>.\u00a0 With their chosen tag team partners added to the mix, this one is sure to ramp up the insanity that this feud has brought.<\/p>\n<h2>Alex Colon vs Lucky 13<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-89117\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/03\/Alex-Ocean-vs-Lukcy-13.jpg\" alt=\"Planet Death Alex Colon vs Lucky 13\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/03\/Alex-Ocean-vs-Lukcy-13.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/03\/Alex-Ocean-vs-Lukcy-13-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At Planet Death we will see Alex Colon take on Lucky 13 in a match paying tribute to Danny Havoc.\u00a0 There may not be two better performers to pick for such a match as both men have long and storied histories with Havoc.\u00a0 Lucky 13 wrestled alongside Havoc in the Nation Of Intoxication faction and even held the CZW tag titles with him through the Freebird rule. Before teaming together Havoc and Lucky 13 competed with one another often on the deathmatch circuit.\u00a0 While Lucky 13 was used to teaming with Havoc, Colon was often his enemy.\u00a0 Colon twice went to war with the Nation Of Intoxication and had a number of major single matches with Danny Havoc throughout the years.\u00a0 Before Havoc&#8217;s passing, he and Colon had begun teaming together including during GCW&#8217;s tour in Japan.\u00a0 These two veterans will no doubt put it all on the line to showcase the beauty of deathmatch wrestling in honor of Havoc.<\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You can watch EFFY\u2019s Big Gay Brunch live or on-demand as part of GCW\u2019s The Collective on FITE.
