Lou King Sharp and the VALOR team headed over to China last week to be part of Buffa Ayooo’s upstart wrestling promotion, GG750. Taking place at the GG750 Dojo in Shenzhen, a small facility with a handful of in attendance due in no small part to storms in the area. Three events took place over the four days with ‘GG Mainline’ being the second of the events.

GG Mainline was streamed live, with a re-edited version released a couple days afterwards on YouTube.

Lou King Sharp defeated Big Mick by pinfall.

Big Mick and Lou King Sharp opened the event with Mick easily overpowering Sharp with big throws early on, using his weight effectively to cause maximum damage. It took some ingenuity of removing a turnbuckle pad and ramming Big Mick sternum first into the metal for The Blood Tourist to gain the upper hand, slamming Mick’s head onto the steel corner to send him out of the ring. A dive to the outside from Lou had Mick on the back foot.

Sharp went into his back of tricks, swinging a chair wildly off the dome and back of Mick, and keeping the brawl on the outside. It was a harsh reality once Sharp tried to return the match to the ring with Mick meeting him at the apron and launching Lou back in the hard way to once again impose his will on the match.

A sudden cutter gave Sharp a reprieve as he retrieved another chair, boarding it into Mick then landing a Van Terminator for a near fall. A wobbly legged Mick grabbed Sharp for a Deep Six but it couldn’t keep Lou King Sharp down. Sharp wriggled out of a fireman’s carry to strike with a Sick Kick, placing a chair on the chest of Big Mick, and closing the match with a Frog Splash.

These two worked hard to get the crowd invested with Lou King Sharp delving into the frenzied chaos that he often employs, from no reactions kicking off to applause as the match wore on was testament of the work put into the bout. The Cirque du Catch version of Big Mick is quite possibly his best version, leaning into the strong man aspect of the menagerie and keeping things simple.

Penelope Grace defeated Midono Amisa by pinfall.

A disrespectful slap to refuse a handshake didn’t quite endear Penelope Grace to Midono Amisa, who bulldozed Grace into the corners which Penelope may have overreacted to…

Midono continued to overpower Penelope, with Grace having no luck getting Amisa off her feet with many unsuccessful shoulder blocks. Amisa continued to have her way with Penelope with body slams, splashes, and a stinging DDT.

Grace finally broke through the combo building with a swift kick to the stomach, which was enough to have Amisa prone for a lariat to take her to the canvas. The celebrations didn’t last long with Penelope once again running into a brick wall with Midono trying to once again build back momentum.

It started getting a bit scrappy, as the two began to exchange forearms. Grace got Amisa down to land a Twisted Bliss for another two count. Penelope quickly followed up and finished the match with a standing moonsault to collect the three count.

The section towards the end started getting messy with miscommunications, but overall a solid match. Penelope was great at using her body language for some big expressions, she exuded so much character to account for any language barrier. Midono didn’t give a lot away when it came to crowd interaction, but her role at trying to humble Penelope Grace was effective.

I was very impressed by the confidence level that Penelope Grace has grown to have in a short space of time, which in turn has made her in-ring work become more fluid. As noted there was some stuttering moments for whatever reason as the match was coming to a close but they were shaken off to get across the line.

Special Guest Referee: Lou King Sharp – Buffa Ayooo defeated Fulton King by pinfall.

The referee jumped Buffa as he made his entrance, to reveal himself as Fulton King. Lou King Sharp marched out to take up the official duties as the mayhem continued around the Dojo. Buffa fought back to get both into the ring for the match to officially start but ran into a juggernaut who was relentlessly on the attack.

A quick sidestep got Buffa breathing room but Fulton King was soon rampaging once again, putting the boots to Buffa. Buffa wasn’t going down without a fight, once again avoiding a charge and starting getting offense strung together, throwing forearms, and a twisting single leg drop kick to send Fulton reeling.

One final last gasp climb to the top turnbuckle to connect with a diving sit out facebuster wrapped up the bout for Buffa Ayooo.

It was a rapid main event that brought something a little different from the other matches on the show, with it being heavily brawl based while Buffa tried to get his flair off the ground only for Fulton King to do all he could to stop it. Buffa got a good reaction, and his win ended the episode with a bit of feel good.

A typhoon couldn’t stop the show, and it was decent from an in-ring perspective. The lack of crowd did lose a lot of atmosphere but there were scatterings of reactions with the wrestlers doing all they could to entertain those that braved the weather to make it to the GG750 Dojo. As far as stand out performances go, Penelope Grace was an absolute star, with Big Mick showing out with some of his best work that I have seen to date.

I’ll be checking out the finale of the Chaos Circuit tour, We Outside!, in the coming days.
