Philippou Brothers Film Exploding Barbed Wire Match For Upcoming Deathmatch Documentary

The Philippou brothers (Danny Philippou and Michael Philippou) collaborated with Game Changer Wrestling and Lucha Libre Vanguardia to bring “Deathmatch Mexican Rush” in Pachuca, Mexico on Saturday.
They filmed an Exploding Barbed Wire Match for their upcoming A24 Deathmatch documentary where Michael Philippou teamed with Rina Yamashita against Ciclope & Miedo Extremo.
The match featured a suplex off a tall structure through a pane of glass onto a barbed-wire net.
Instagram user Frank Estrada wrote, “I’ve never been to the fights and genuinely don’t plan on attending anytime soon. 😛 But I suddenly found out that @therackaracka would be in Pachuca producing and participating in a special event and I couldn’t pass up this opportunity. 🔥
11 years ago I was watching their videos on YouTube and I never imagined that from Australia I would meet them in Pachuca. These brothers are crazy and without a doubt all their productions from videos, movies and extreme wrestling events, take it to another level. 🤟🏼🔥
So cool to finally meet Danny and @therackaracka and what @michael_philippou live is all about.”
