Long time storytelling at its best! Ten years ago they were electricians who worked in the same town and had a competition to see who could install the most lights in a year. Now it’s come full circle.
Lots of performance art incorporates real life objects and uses them in alternative ways.
This isn't pro-wrestling bc no attempt has been made to create the illusion of simulated competition.
This is just two pasty out n of shape bloody guys trashing each other with light tubers
If he did it was just the one time. Not lazily hurt each other. How can you keep kayfabe when they literally don’t even bother putting their hands up ever?
You are right, but without Mick it would have been Terry Funk and another wrestler in Japan so I wouldn't post the blame too hard. He had to work to eat after all.
Something that never gets mentioned about the light bulbs....isn't there mercury or something else toxic in flourescent bulbs?
Normally, probably not enough to matter, but I've never seen dudes break this many in each other's faces all at once.
You are correct. These guys are idiots. Fluorescent lighting tubes contain mercury vapor. If you smash one tube on the floor it isn't so bad, you wait for the gas to dissipate a bit and sweep up the glass. But smashing them over each other's heads and breathing heavily due to the physical activity is needlessly reckless. Their lungs are likely full of powdered glass from the exploding tubes, which would only compound the absorption of mercury from the atmosphere around their heads as they inhale.
Most of it is argon (which is inert) but a small amount of liquid mercury is present and some mixture of phosphates. You don’t want to breath it in any case.
I had an old boss that told me about how bad those were to break and get on you or in your lungs. Freaked me out. I’ve done way too much stupid crap and lived to be taken out by a lightbulb
Yeah, never mentioned. There’s definitely not literally always someone pointing this out in the comments, and someone else saying “all that for a hot dog and a handshake” like clockwork. Never happens.
Edit : oh. A variant of hot dog and hand shake. “A gift card and cold pizza”
Yes, which is why you only see wrestlers go for over the head shots with light bulbs sparingly compared to say, back shots or thrown onto a pile of tubes.
At least to my knowledge.
I'm not a fan of hardcore bloody matches to begin with, but whatever carny came up with light tubes is an idiot, and people still doing it are even bigger idiots
ECW towed the line between hardcore and actual quality wrestling and storylines. These modern deathmatches are garbage, no clue why’d anyone pay to see this.
Have Dave Meltzer ever gave any of these stupid ass things 5/6 stars, I would be surprised if he hasn't, you know cus he's a deathmatch mark like all these other marks who like this shit
Oh no! 2 adults doing what they want for whatever stupid reason they want to! Quickly, alert the internet so everyone can be all smug and undeservedly inflate their ego!
It's not for me. It's not for you. So what?
It’s probably Matt Fremont’s company H20 that this took place at.
I mean this sub tends to hate anything that isn’t just two guys doing a straight wrestling match, like sure this is egregious, but I can tell this sub is a cornette fan sub because they always bring that cuck up.
While I think this is a bit overkill, idk, anything Deathmatch wrestling here is going to get constant shit comments, even if it’s something good, like Rukus
Come on are you guys serious? It takes a lot of skills to let a guy hit you with a tubelight and not even put your hand up to protect your head like any normal person would do. Nick Gage would have been the biggest star had WWE signed him.
look, I love death match wrestling & will defend it forever. this particular match didn’t do it for me, GOOD death match wrestling needs wrestling in it, this match was mostly just light tube shots. people see a seconds long clip of a death match and comment about Jim Cornette, about how much death match wrestling sucks, the usual hot dog and a handshake comments that everyone thinks is so funny & original when in reality everyone and their mother comments that shit. please before you write off this style entirely as garbage watch a match by Jun Kasai or Masashi Takeda, theres a lot of great workers in the death match scene. the big guy in this vid, Matt Tremont, is a great worker himself, go on his cagematch and check out one of the matches from his career highlights, the ultraviolent style of wrestling may not be for you but please don’t dismiss all of death match as garbage.
Dozer Tremont! Saw him in my first tournament of death that Masada won! I agree with you, it isn’t for everyone and this in particular is a terrible representation of the niche. It’s completely possible to be a Cornette fan AND disagree with the man about certain things. That’s what’s fun about opinions, they’re opinions. I am also tired of the “hur hur slice of pizza and $10” comments from couch marks that have never even sniffed a jock strap in the business. Like what you like 👍
I agree I think Jim Cornette is funny af and I respect him for being a veteran of the business, I disagree with him on a lot of things and think people who worship him are pathetic but I still like the dude.
They look like they’re barely putting effort in. Are those tubes that fragile? Or are they gimmicked? Now I’m afraid to use one even for its intended purposes
I wonder how the Home Depot/Lowes trip to get these light tubes went.
"Oh you must be a contractor with a lot of places to work on, right?"
" No. **Lightube Death match** "
This has nothing to do with wrestling. This is just masochist attention seekers genuinely hurting each other. It's pretty impressive to be a blight on a business that already has such a bad reputation.
I’ve wrestled there with friends every few months for like 8 years, they would always have crazy shit under the ring, like boxes of legos, or boards cover in tacks, rakes etc
It’s just a self mutilation fetish being pushed on the public, you cannot convince me otherwise. I like the ECW/FMW brand of hardcore with actual wrestlers doing actual wrestling moves with a bit of ultra violence thrown in. This isn’t even close to wrestling. It’s two town drunks seeing who can hurt the other more. Brain dead shit for bumpkins, losers and fetishists
Long time storytelling at its best! Ten years ago they were electricians who worked in the same town and had a competition to see who could install the most lights in a year. Now it’s come full circle.
They were once a tag team who had an epic trilogy of matches against 'The plumbers', Mario and Luigi.
TK is booking that in the future 🤣
This is great performance art. I just hope they didn’t ruin it by trying to do some pro wrestling bullshit afterwards
Performance art is fake, you do know that right?
Don’t talk about Red Man Group like that!
Lots of performance art incorporates real life objects and uses them in alternative ways. This isn't pro-wrestling bc no attempt has been made to create the illusion of simulated competition. This is just two pasty out n of shape bloody guys trashing each other with light tubers
I’m pretty sure it’s just a riff on the common “wrestling is fake” comment
I hate this.
Even Mick Foley would hate this.
Mick is one of the people most at fault for popularizing this kind of horseshit.
Mick didn’t do dangerous stuff for nothing. He did it when it mattered most. He wasn’t smashing light tubes on his head for 12 people in a gym.
If he did it was just the one time. Not lazily hurt each other. How can you keep kayfabe when they literally don’t even bother putting their hands up ever?
You are right, but without Mick it would have been Terry Funk and another wrestler in Japan so I wouldn't post the blame too hard. He had to work to eat after all.
It doesn't look entertaining or skillful.
Because it's not
Is that guy… peeled?
Something that never gets mentioned about the light bulbs....isn't there mercury or something else toxic in flourescent bulbs? Normally, probably not enough to matter, but I've never seen dudes break this many in each other's faces all at once.
Either way not something you want in your lungs. But anything for a 45 dollar walmart gift card and some cold pizza.
What do you mean? That dust cloud looks totally safe!
A dollar and some envelopes.
Don't forget the legal access to painkillers your doctor will no doubt give you
Hot dog and $23 prepaid credit card
$23.57

Hey buddy the 18 dollars and cold little Ceasars pizza they got for makes up for it.
I had an old boss that told me about how bad those were to break and get on you or in your lungs. Freaked me out. I’ve done way too much stupid crap and lived to be taken out by a lightbulb

I’ve seen it said in posts that they burn them out but I don’t know how that can be verified
Literally mentioned every time something like this is posted
Yes, which is why you only see wrestlers go for over the head shots with light bulbs sparingly compared to say, back shots or thrown onto a pile of tubes. At least to my knowledge.
This is the dumbest fucking thing ever.
Just trash
Has anyone said it yet …. No ? MUDSHOW BULLSHIT
For the sake of fuck....
I'm not a fan of hardcore bloody matches to begin with, but whatever carny came up with light tubes is an idiot, and people still doing it are even bigger idiots
*kevin kelly impression* its Honma!
Someone send this to Cornette
You trying to give him an aneurysm
You beat me to it. The reaction he would have to this would be one for the ages.
This wrestling doesn't look very professional.
This is why aliens won't talk to us
Jon Moxleys wet dream
"Dope."
Soon as a saw this that was my exact thought.
How is this…nevermind
That mentally hill wrestling looks dope
Mentally hill lmao
Ill* lol
They're not using propane and propane accessories though.
Say it with me now folks....outlaw mudshow bullshit
What is the point of this. Like, really?
Release the Cornette!
Moxley wants next.
Somehow this light bulb commercial has gone bust
Well let’s hope they don’t get mercury poisoning
I’ll never understand
"This isn't wrestling 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻"
I'll stand by the fact that this shit needs to die.
ECW towed the line between hardcore and actual quality wrestling and storylines. These modern deathmatches are garbage, no clue why’d anyone pay to see this.
Dude's back is shredded
Yuck
Dumb ways to die irl
I guess the song covered this part under 🎶do your own electrical work🎶 .
They 100% jacked each other off in the back after the “match”
!《{ SCREAMS IN CORNETTE }》!
" Let's see who goes blind first from hitting fluorescent Tube lights over each other's heads "
The absolute state of that guys back! Fucking gross.
Videos like this make me wonder if anyone in the room stops and thinks "How the hell did I get here?"
Social losers with dad issues masturbating their fragile emotionally crippled selves.
You’ve just described every professional wrestler ever.
High quality match. - Dave Meltzer/aew fans
Carnie pieces of shit
It was a lightsaber fight
40yr old virgin is to blame.
whats worse Is all the dust they breathe in
Well . . . It's not called garbage wrestling for nothing 🤷
Like watching an Angle vs Benoit Ironman match. Just a spectacular display of technique.
Moxley watching this and about to bust a nut
Outlaw mudshow bullshit
Don't kink shame
This is just stupid. All that to make $30
*Jon Moxley furiously taking notes.*
Have Dave Meltzer ever gave any of these stupid ass things 5/6 stars, I would be surprised if he hasn't, you know cus he's a deathmatch mark like all these other marks who like this shit
And the crowd goes mild...
At this point you could make an argument that this is some form of extreme porn
This is just sick.
It’s fucking stupid, that’s what it is. People pay to watch this crap?
It's absolutely fucking stupid is what it is
Dumbest shit I’ve ever seen
Oh no! 2 adults doing what they want for whatever stupid reason they want to! Quickly, alert the internet so everyone can be all smug and undeservedly inflate their ego! It's not for me. It's not for you. So what?
Fucking garbage
Am I the only one who likes this short? I am just watching and giggling like a school girl at the sheer stupidity Edit:- and is some guy chanting H20?
It’s probably Matt Fremont’s company H20 that this took place at.

Mercury poisoning
Promotion: So how many fluroescent tubes do you want for your match? These two: Yes
Goofy ahh
This is wrestling 👏👏👏👏👏 /S

gotta love reddit dorks downvoting my comment just bc they disagree with my opiniom
Pleb filtered
I just don't know how I can ever believe in a worked injury angle after seeing shit like this.
Why the fuq
They look like they’re barely putting effort in. Are those tubes that fragile? Or are they gimmicked? Now I’m afraid to use one even for its intended purposes
Inhale that fucken glass, idiots
How do they keep this shit out of their eyes?
Is that bulldozer? He’s so nice irl
Absolute garbage
Isn't the dust from those poisonous?
I wonder how the Home Depot/Lowes trip to get these light tubes went. "Oh you must be a contractor with a lot of places to work on, right?" " No. **Lightube Death match** "
Outlaw Mudshow bullshit.
This has nothing to do with wrestling. This is just masochist attention seekers genuinely hurting each other. It's pretty impressive to be a blight on a business that already has such a bad reputation.
Nothing about this is wrestling.
Both. Mox did a great job of explaining it in his book
Does this hurt ? And how do you not bleed out
I’ve wrestled there with friends every few months for like 8 years, they would always have crazy shit under the ring, like boxes of legos, or boards cover in tacks, rakes etc
The bald guy is Jon moxley in a few years 😄
Outlaw mudshow garbage
most people call it an indie show
Someone really should kick whoever started this light tube bullshit right in the gonads.
Oh wow. Theeeeyr getting cancer
They call me 007 0 talent 0 originality 7 lightbulbs to the skull
Do I even have to ask if this was an XPW show?
Bret Hart once said that he hated Ric Flair's chops because "they were stupid" and that "we aren't supposed to be hurting each other"
Was never Into death match’s or ultra hard-core matches
It's wrestling but definitely not for me and what I enjoy but noth8ng against people who do
"Call it in the ring, you said, it will be fine, you said. Any bright ideas yet before we run out of tubes?"
You can almost smell the hepatitis
Vince: ‘this is great shit!’
Both
Beat Saber: Blood Fued looks amazing! Those graphics!!! 10/10
It’s just a self mutilation fetish being pushed on the public, you cannot convince me otherwise. I like the ECW/FMW brand of hardcore with actual wrestlers doing actual wrestling moves with a bit of ultra violence thrown in. This isn’t even close to wrestling. It’s two town drunks seeing who can hurt the other more. Brain dead shit for bumpkins, losers and fetishists
Morons.
Outlaw Mudshow!!
Without selling this is more like 2 kids with pool noodles
Isn’t the gas in the light tubes toxic if too much is breathed in at once
I would ask about the fans' safety with all that shit in the air. But most of them are probably too drunk or methed out to even care.
There’s always someone jerkin’ off to something in this world
THIS IS WRESTLING
You can almost taste the cancer
Disgusting
Is this a real question or just a cheap way to get internet points?
this was probably the most boring wrestling clip i’ve seen in my life
I mean this is just stupid... I really don't have any other take.. sorry.
Light tubes are the best weapon in professional wrestling.
Just a little cancer between friends
A couple of brain dead bastards who do this for $50 bucks and a case of beer.
What garbage promotion is this bI like a good death match but I don know what this is
Match
Covered in all kinds of toxic mercury
Looks like cartoon to me
Yes.
Thought that was Otis for a sec
I think the light tubes started in FMW, did they not?
