I think you are asking the wrong question, it’s not a case of where it’s done, it’s a case of who does it.
E.g Funk, Cactus, Tanaka, Sabu, Onita. Know HOW to work that style, it’s more than just hitting each other for the sake of it with weird and wacky shit, it’s about the build to the use of the wacky shit. Just like with high spot cruiserweight matches, you have to build up to the spots to make the crowd care about them more, not hitting a 450 as one of the opening moves.
Right now, IMO there’s no one that does death matches properly, I don’t consider IWA/CZW to be in the same league as the death matches of the last decade, right now it’s a case of how many light tubes can I hit you with in 10 minutes, at least back then, it was a build to something insane at the end that was teased all the way through, like C4 explosions for example.
Death Match/Hardcore Matches did use to have an element of skill to them, nowadays it’s a haven for people who don’t know how to work properly
