1995 King of the Deathmatch DVD Review

**Swiss Ultimate** · 09-19-2009, 09:15 AM

I bought the DVD a few years ago, it was "produced" by Barb Wire Entertainment and is region free.

11 Matches in all, no commentary (which is fine since I don't want to listen to ICP or the Japanese announcers) and is pretty good visually.

I originally got tricked into buying a different king of the deathmatch DVD which turned out not to be several different matches that had nothing to do with this night.

For Foley fans this is a must-buy. Just reading about it isn't enough to truly understand what went on that night. As for casual wrestling fans and people who don't enjoy blood, this is definitely not for you.

Image: 5/5
Audio: 4/5
Match Quality: 3.5/5 average

I give the entire show a 4/5 for the sheer shock and awe of the main event in addition to the fact that this event helped create Foley as the "Hardcore Legend". The Main Event is unintentionally poetic and the Cactus Jack and Terry Funk promos are priceless (probably better than the wrestling in these matches.) I figure that since Foley only ever got a $300 payday for his work we could at least appreciate it for what it was. Two men sacrificing their bodies for the entertainment of the audience.

*Notes: Dan Severn VS. Tarzan Goto for the NWA World Title...weirdness.

I made a highlight reel on youtube...here it is

song is Corpse and Carcass by 31 Knots

"Through my disdain
and endless bravado
I've published such lust
It's thought of as curious
Now I imply dead space we can't trust.
So what? So we say so. Yes, but

Who's the gospel and who is the plain truth?
Who's the misprint and who is just slander?
And who's the corpse and who is the carcass?
Show me a saint and I'll show you their blood lust.

Through my disdain
and endless bravado
I've published such lust
It's thought of as curious
Now I imply dead space we can't trust
So what? So we say so. Yes, but

Who's the gospel and who's the plain truth?
And who's the misprint, and who is just slander?
And who's the corpse, and who is the carcass?
Show me a saint and I'll show you their blood lust."

Tonight I'm going out like
A pusher to a cockfight
So cocksure, cavorting
My way to the spotlight

And then and then and then and then
I will see what I mean"
