The GWF Vol. 6 (Light Heavyweight Title Tournament Disc 2)
By: Magnus Donaldson
 

We now move on to Vol. 6 of GWF TV, with the remaining first round matches of the Lightweight Title Tournament,
 as well as the first of the second round matches.

Jerry Lynn vs. Randy Rhodes (1st Round)
Rhodes is so not within the weight limit that's it's embarrassing, and his new manager (Christopher Love) continues to claim that he is
 within the weight limit. Within about two seconds of the match beginning Rhodes is rolled up for three- DUD

Terry Daniels vs. Rick Garren (1st Round)
Garren is an Indy wrestler who competed in Texas during the 90's. You will recall Terry Daniels as a Private in Sgt. Slaughter’s CORPS. There's some
 quick and crisp holds and reversals in the opening minutes, with both men evenly matched. Daniels spent the match working on the legs of Garren,
 to slow his quicker opponent, while Garren used his speed to escape the holds he was put into. Daniels managed to get a Small package
out of nowhere for three. That was pretty solid for such a short match- **

Terry Garvin vs. Kenny the Stinger (1st Round)
As before, I know little about Kenny the Stinger outside of the GWF. He jumped Garvin to begin the match, but Garvin soon made a fight back
 forcing Kenny to the outside. Following this the match slowed down, with lots of playing to the fans and basic wrestling holds. Kenny hit a few
 power moves (and to be honest I question if he made the weight limit), but missed a Top Rope Diving Splash, and Terry got the fall
 with a Spinning DDT- *3/4

John Tatum vs. Khris Germany (1st Round)
Tatum is another former WCCW star as well as spending time in the UWF. Germany is from a similar background, wrestling for WCCW late on,
 as well as appearing on tons of major Indy shows of the 90's, and is still wrestling today. Tatum was fairly dominant in this match though,
 using a mix of strikes and basic wrestling moves. The match finish is missing though, but thanks to recaps I was able to see it. Tatum got the fall
 with a Splash after a Superkick. Average stuff- *1/4

Lightning Kid vs. Chaz (2nd Round)
In the early going they had some quick mat exchanges, with Kid stalling for time a little. Chaz began to gain control with a few quick moves,
 but Lightning Kid got him to the outside and pulled out a Tope which was amazing for the time period. He then worked on him with some submissions
 and high impact moves, but could not put Chaz away, and because of this he made a brief fight back. Kid and Chaz exchanged a few near falls,
 with Lightning Kid foolishly pulling Chaz up after a Backdrop Driver. He would pin Chaz after a Tombstone Piledriver. Another good match- **3/4

Handsome Stranger vs. Rip Rogers (2nd Round)
I bet at least 50% of this match is posing. It was a decent match, which was mainly based around basic wrestling holds and strikes, and nothing
 much more than that. Rasta the Voodoo Man was at ringside due to forming an alliance with Rip Rodgers and Makhan Singh. It did however
 entertain the crowd, and that was the most important thing. Handsome Stranger pulled out somewhat of an upset when he pinned Rogers with
 the Fishermans Suplex- *1/2

Mike Davis vs. Brian Adias (2nd Round)
I'm not sure who exactly is heel and who is face: Davis to me is clearly the heel, but he offers a handshake and Adias refuses, which is surely
 a heelish act, then he starts acting like a face. I'm confused. Davis kind of reminds me of Jake Roberts, only not as talented. There was a lot of
 stalling here, but they did some mat wrestling as well, but much of this match was both men cheating. Davis won it with a pinfall using the ropes.
 Really not a good match, they didn't click, it was sloppy and I had no idea who was heel and who was face- 1/2*

A mixed bag once again. On the one hand, there was a good match with Chaz vs. Lightning Kid: two young stars who would go reasonably
 far in the business, and a solid match with Terry Daniels and Rick Garren. On the other hand most of the rest of the matches were very average,
 the final match was a complete waste of time and the Lynn/Rhodes match was barely a match at all. So I'll meet in the middle on this one
I guess, and that's probably being a little generous.

Overall Rating for this DVD: 5/10
