Necro Butcher Vs. Hollywood Chuck Hogan (Light tubes) 2003 Gathering of the Juggalos DVLH Outside of the lighttubes and barbed wire which gave him his fame, Butcher has also gained critical acclaim for his wild brawls and very physical "slugfests". Perhaps the most famous of these was his first match against TNA and ROH veteran Samoa Joe at the IWA Mid-South "Something To Prove" in 2005.[8] Despite no weapons beyond a chair and a guardrail coming into play, the match was exceptionally brutal and well-received by deathmatch fans and purists alike, proving that Butcher could put on compelling matches without necessarily needing the weapons with which he was normally associated. br br He also competed in the CHIKARA Tag World Grand Prix 2005 along with Mad Man Pondo (making it to the quarter-finals before being eliminated via disqualification for illegal tactics)[9] and has wrestled (and won) a European catch wrestling match with Chris Hero.[10] On April 9 2006, he challenged for the PWG World Championship , but lost to the champion Joey Ryan.[10] Most recently, many promoters have taken note of Butcher's brawling skills and have increasingly begun to put him in non-deathmatch competitions with wrestlers he would not normally be paired up against. IWA-MS in particular has attempted matches between Butcher and Samoa Joe (twice), Homicide, Roderick Strong, Chris Hero, Super Dragon, Low Ki and Eddie Kingston.
