If you like death match wrestling or even hardcore wrestling this guy probably has a match or two on your list. I know a lot of people point to the Joe match as their favorite, but I have always preferred the Super Dragon match. Both are absolutely brutal. The Ki match also deserves consideration and then he has more traditional death matches and some multi mans that will float some people's boat as well. For my money, Necro is one of the most fun guys to watch.

Necro was probably my favorite discovery during the GME project. I had seen the Joe match before, but on a few more re-watches it became a top 40 contender for me. I also LOVE the Super Dragon match as dangerous and stupid as some of those bumps are. The Low Ki match barely missed my cut but is excellent as well. And he's terrific in the ROH-CZW cage match. The part where he tries to go for a pin before all the competitors are in and Castagnoli has to explain the rule to him is a tremendous bit of character work. Haven't been able to find a whole lot of other matches of him online but he was a tremendous brawler and I wish we had more like him today (apart from the ridiculous amount of chair shots to the head).

Indy death match stuff has never been my thing. I know I've spent the whole project putting over bloody brawls & stuff, but I really want my heinous death match type stuff to take place in front of 1000s of people. Guy walking barefoot on broken light tubes & tacks in front of 40 people is not the same as Funk vs Onita in front of 40,000 people.
That said, Necro is probably in at least 5 of my 10 favorite indy matches ever. His singles matches against workrate darlings like Low Ki, Samoa Joe, Super Dragon & Sami Callihan are awesome. He's fantastic in the ROH vs CZW 6 man and the Cage match. Maybe not the best guy in those matches, but he's still really fucking great. I love him in that setting & would love to see more of that sort of stuff. The world could have used a Necro Butcher vs Yoshiaki Fujiwara match.

loutheszpress.substack.com. He is in my top 100 wrestlers ever because he is a fantastic brawler with a case for 2006 WOTY thanks in part to that ROH vs CZW from the 3 man tag in the 100th show to Cage of Death in Death Before Dishonor IV, add to that his match against Super Dragon in PWG.
