Our first time ever on Wrestle Update, we drop an interview with the Owner and CEO of the newest Deathmatch outfit that Nello attended their first ever show live and in person. We talk about a variety of topics in this comprehensive interview:
The beginnings of James' wrestling and what attracted him to Deathmatch
The logistical components of starting a new company in 2025 and of the first show. From the Financials, weapons to get, airing on YT and why purposely janky was the way to go on the title and trophy
Getting Abdullah Kobayashi for the first ever show and fub stories of what he was like in person
The state of the scene and where AZ could fit in with the strong established scenes of Texas and California
Potential for international talent ahead and our love of the BJW Gen 2 Deathmatch Title
Who the best Deathmatch wrestler of all time in America and the world is
Why James thinks tournaments are the best format for a Deathmatch show and why it was meaningful for the show to be a tournament
