Where will you find a weed whacker, a chainsaw and a shovel besides the shed or workshop in your garage or backyard or any Friday The 13th movie?
The answer is XPW’s We Are Not Your Kind pay-per-view.
The lords and ladies of hardcore were at it again this time emanating from the The Heart Ballroom in Newark, New Jersey. As you would expect the blood flowed very freely, many a light tube was smashed into a zillion razor-sharp pieces and…two hypodermic needles and a fishing hook pierced human flesh?!?!? As like every XPW show you have to see it to believe it is really happening.
The highlight of the night though was an immediate hardcore classic between Big F’N Joe and Drake Younger. I have seen some of the greatest hardcore matches in my time. Most of the truly cruel, barbaric and ruthless ones coming from the Land of the Rising Sun like King of the Deathmatch bout between Terry Funk and Cactus Jack. You know a hardcore match has crossed that line into infamy when even a veteran wrestling fan and horror movie fanatic like me who not only has seen it all but was also a news editor who had to sift through uncensored news wire photos of crime scenes, war zones and disaster scenes from around the world is close to tapping out.
Big F’N Joe and Drake Younger’s match nearly reached that point. Near the end of the match they were literally wrestling over, through and on just a mound of broken glass covering the mat. You know the needle pit scene in Saw 2? It was kind of like that. I mean, you can only see two men slicing themselves up, slamming themselves on bits of sharp, jagged broken glass for so long. In the end, Joe’s elbow looked like a package of ground beef and Younger’s back had so many cuts in it that it looked like he slept on a bed of nails. What a mess but hats off to the two crazy masochists who will probably still be picking broken glass out of their bodies on Canada Day in July.
XPW’s We Are Not Your Kind Results
Soul Taker versus ‘The Sadistic” Sean Lawhorn
The Undertaker clone comes to the ring with a shovel in hand. On his tights are the words: No Souls Matter.
“You are out here to get slaughtered? I have done some research on you. You have a Chris Benoit style in the ring but unfortunately, you are going to be Nancy when I am done with you,” says the big man.
I would say I cannot believe he went there but this is XPW afterall.
“What the hell is wrong with this guy?” cry out the commentators.
“When y0u f–k with me no lives matter!” Soul Tone growls at Lawhorn.
Lawhorn chops don’t effect Soul Taker. Taker unloads on Lawhorn in a corner. A series of clotheslines don’t take Soul Taker off his feet.

“F–k him up, Lucky! F–k him up!” answers the crowd in response.

A couple of spinning back kicks knock the snot out of Sage. Sage staples Durden’s hand with a staple gun that happens to be laying around. On the floor, Chelsea staples Sage in the back, takes a dollar from a fan and staples it to her chest. Talking about making money the hard way.

“What are you going to do? Hit a girl?” Martini asks an angry Masada.

Charlie Bonifer versus JJ Escobar versus Kurt Bale – Three-way Death Dance
Escobar comes out with a weed whacker looking to do some pruning one would think. Reminds me of Jason Vorhees in Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood. The crowd is behind Escobar. Bale hits Escobar from behind with a bat. Bale and Bonifer double team him stapling his tongue to the turnbuckle. Bonifer attacks like Leatherface using an actual chainsaw on Esobar’s arm. It doesn’t seem to have cut him at all though. Color me disappointed.
Bale and Bonifer turn on each other smashing light tubes here and there. Bonifer is bleeding profusely from the head as Bale slams him on a light tube with a Death Valley Driver. Escobar puts a fish hook through Bonifer’s tongue. He turns on the weed whacker and chases Bonifer around the ring. Bale leaps off a balcony onto both men.
