TNA Xplosion 10/16/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/10/tna-xplosion-1092026.html

The only new content is:

The Personal Concierge does the intro for Heather By Elegance. He says he knows the crowd is depressed from looking at their ugly wives, so he is bringing a model and an angel in Heather By Elegance.

Heather By Elegance vs Alex Gracia

HBE throws her down by the hair. AG side headlock takeovers her. AG shoulders her over and HBE trips her. HBE walks on her back. AG armdrags her and trips her. AG then walks on her back.

AG rolls her up for 2 twice. AG springboard twisting crossbodies her for 2. AG is thrown out. The Concierge trips AG and HBE headscissor spikes AG over the 2nd rope for 2. HBE stomps her hand and short ddt's her.

HBE throws her down by the hair. HBE crabs her. AG backdrops her. AG lariats her, kicks her and backcrackers her for 2. HBE boots her out of the corner and pulls her down backwards with a headscissors. HBE top rope double stomps her and pins her.

Thoughts: I think HBE had a new move or two here. She won as expected. It didn't get a ton of time. HBE pulled AG down by the hair a few times here. It was average.

Overall thoughts: There was only one new match here and it was average. I wouldn't recommend this one, but you can get through all the new content pretty quickly.

WWE NXT 10/20/2026

WWE NXT 10/20/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/10/wwe-nxt-10132026.html

We are in the Performance Center in Orlando, FL. Vic Joseph and Booker T are on commentary.

We see Dion Lennox and Cruz Montana arrive.

Tony D'Angelo comes out to talk. He calls Grayson Waller out. Waller says he always knew it would be them. He says they debuted and got on TV at the same time, then teamed up at Wargames. He asks if Tony has been running from him as someone else always got in the way. Tony says Waller doesn't know if he'd still have the title if they met.

Waller says he wanted to beat him 1v1. He says he's a demon he wanted to conquer. Tony says he never liked him. Tony says he's a indy guy who cares about being viral instead of titles only. Waller says Tony didn't know anything about wrestling when he started here and says he was chosen. Tony says he's a hyprocrite and says he still hides behind one-liners. He says he's just a troll.

Waller says it's called having a personality and Tony let his in his fedora hat. Waller says he won this match months ago. He says he just has to take him out to the deepest waters so he could drown himself. Tony says he helped their Wargames team to victory in his 3rd match.

Tony says they are foundation guys and it all comes down to them 1v1. Waller says Tony beat Oba Femi twice but can't touch him. He says his title means more than when Melo or when Tony had it. Tony said he carried the title. Tony says he's an All-American who will rip his arm off and beat him with it. He says he will drag him through hell at Halloween Havoc and see if he can swim in deep waters when there's a shark out there.

Izzi Dame says Zaria packed up all her decorations in the back. Layla Diggs says it's clearly all about the North American Title for Dame. Then she says it's all about the title for her. Dame says she wants to pick Zaria apart piece by piece and show who Zaria is. She says if she has to get rid of distractions like Diggs, then she will.

Birthright interrupt the commentators from the parking lot. King says Galeno del Mal said this would be a generational battle. Dempsey says it's their birthright to win the Dusty Classic.

We get a video on Chantel Monroe. She says the locker room better watch out. She says when she's in the ring, it's not a match but an experience.

Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic 2026 Quarter Final Match - The Wagner Brothers (El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. & Galeno) vs. BirthRight (Charlie Dempsey & Lexis King)

They talk about Stacks getting injured over the weekend.

Doc takes down CD. CD rolls him into a headscissors. They go on the mat then CD takes armdrags. Gal and King go at it. King boots and chops him. Gal leapfrogs and shoulders him over.

King takes a double back elbow and Doc is flipped onto him. Gal sentons King for 2. The heels go out, the faces try to dive on them and Arianna Grace gets in the way. Doc then tope con hilos them all.

We go to break and return. CD takes down Doc and pulls back on his arms. Doc ropebreaks.

CD chinlocks him. They trade forearms. Doc backdrops him. Gal ges in and shoulders his opponents over. Gal hits corner lariats on CD. Gal slams King. Gal splashes King for 2. Doc is popped up and he dropkicks King for 2. CD germans Gal and is lariated over by Doc. All 4 men go down.

CD forearms Doc. King superkicks Doc and Doc takes dragon suplex for 2. Gal suplexes CD. Doc comes off the top and King gets his knees up. Zilla Fatu comes out and nails Uriah Connors. Arianna Grace slaps Zilla. Doc exploders King then michinoku drivers him. Gal top rope splashes King and pins him.

Thoughts: It was acceptable but not quite great. I think it needed more time and I think the heels needed to work a body part of a Wagner more.

Zilla beats up Birthright after. Zilla pop-up samoan drops Dempsey.

Darkstate watch a Cruz Montana video in the back. They laugh about it and Cutler says Cruz is p!ssed. Dion says you can't think small with Cruz and says there will be casualties this time. Dion says he will take Cruz back to the dark place tonight.

Kam Hendrix does a video at a football field. He says everyone talks about who is next but not the best athlete in NXT - him. We then see him catching footballs. He says he's the future.

Tavion Heights comes out to talk. He says Myles Borne stabbed him in the back at Heatwave, just so he could double down and do it again. He says it was a mistake and he doesn't make the same mistake twice. He says Myles isn't who he thinks he is and he is who he says he is. Myles Borne then attacks him. They fight out to the parking lot and get separated.

The Vanity Project talk to Chantel Monroe in the back. Ricky Smokes tries to flirt with Monroe and Myka stops it. The Project then head to Mr. Stone's office. Smokes says he hates Stone. Stone asks about them attacking Mini Vikingo last week. Brad says they just talked to him and EK Prosper. Stone says Mini isn't cleared so he can't wrestle in the 6-man he wanted to do. Stone says Drake will face EK Prosper for the North American Title next week.

Izzi Dame vs Layla Diggs

This is LD's return, but Nikkita and Nattie aren't with her. They lock up and Izzi side headlocks her. Izzi shoulders her over. Izzi side headlocks her and Diggs cartwheels out.

Izzi wristlocks her and Diggs flips out using the ropes. Diggs is sent shoulder first into the buckles. Izzi slams Digs for 1. Diggs works the arm. Diggs shoulders her over and casadora armdrags her. Diggs rolls her up for 1. Izzi facekicks her down.

Izzi is pulled over the top. Diggs goes for a dive and is forearmed. Diggs moonsaults off the apron onto her. We go to PiP break and return. Izzi back elbows her. Diggs overhead kicks her. Diggs leg lariats her, hits a kneelift and a step up enzugiri. Diggs flying pumping knees her. Diggs sitout gordbusters her. Diggs top rope splashes her for 2.

Izzi running crucifix bombs her for 2. They trade forearms. Diggs neckbreakers her over the back and reverse slams her for 2. Diggs hurricanrana's her for 2. Izzi running facekicks her. Izzi comes off the 2nd rope and is leg lariated. Diggs misses a top rope moonsault and Dame flying knees her. Dame pins her.

Thoughts: Diggs got to do a bit more athletic stuff than usual and she did a lot of flipping around. I thought it was average. Diggs probably should have just got a win over someone else since she is returning.

Zaria comes out. She says this has gone on long enough with Izzi. She says she doesn't know what she's searching for, but this isn't how she will get one. She....then says she will give her a title match at Halloween Havoc anyway. Izzi then says she doesn't want her to put the title on the line.

Thoughts: I have no idea what this was. Neither girl made any sense here.

Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Quarterfinal - The Creed Brothers (Julius and Brutus Creed) vs Hank and Tank (Hank Walker and Tank Ledger)

The Creed's have new music that is very very generic and basic.

JC and Tank lock up and let go. JC waistlock takedowns Tank and slaps his head around. JC lariats him down from behind. Tank takes a backcracker into a fallaway slam. Tank 2nd rope twisting shoulders BC.

Hank knees and punches BC in the gut. Hank bangs BC's head off the buckles. BC high angle pedigrees him and hits hammerfist shots on him. We go to break and return.
Hank flying lariats BC and Tank slingshot splashes BC. Tank back body drops BC. Tank is swpet on the buckles. JC knees him in the ribs. BC gutbusters him and hits corner spears.

JC gutbusters Tank. JC grounded cobra twists him. JC karelin's lifts Tank. JC hits corner spears on Tank. Tank back elbows him down. BC dropkicks Tank through the ropes hard. Hank comes in and knocks down BC a few times. Hank hip attacks JC on the ropes and running lariats him. Hank lariats BC over the top then corner splashes JC.

Hank flying back elbows JC then pounces BC outside. Hank black hole slams JC. BC takes a sandwich bodyblock outside. JC kicks Tank in the ring. JC takes a slam + double slap to the back and is pinned by Tank.

Thoughts: It was acceptable but the crowd wasn't that into it. The Creed's were a little more serious here than usual and there were some hard shots thrown here. It wasn't as good as it should have been though.

Birthright complain to Robert Stone in the back. Dempsey says he wants a match with Zilla but Stone doesn't know if he's cleared.

Wren and Kendal talk. Wren says she has a contract to sign. Chantel Monroe interrupts and asks if they saw her video.

Wren Sinclair says she gets her shot at Kelani and the Women's title in 2 weeks. She says she can't just let Kelani do what she wants. She says she's the standout, but she will stand down at Halloween Havoc. She tells her to get out here. She says she won't just stand up to her...

Kelani Jordan then comes out and interrupts. She says she got her a gift for being #1 contender. We see her grabbing Kendal Grey by the hair and banging her face off the floor. Kendal's face is busted open and KJ leaves.

Mr. Stone and Zilla Fatu talk. Stone says he doesn't know where he is medically and it can't happen. Fatu says he's good and says to talk to the doc. Fatu says to bring back "spin the wheel, make the deal" at Halloween Havoc.

Legacy, Hall, EK, Romeo and Dar talk. Dux is out for 2 months according to Legacy. Legacy asks Saquon is he's good after losing. Saquon gets mad. Legacy says Shugars acts like he has it figured out but he's obsessed. He says Shugars has all the talents but keeps pushing too far. Shugars tells EK to come get his boy. Shugars tells Legacy to worry about himself and threatens him if he continues.

An interviewer wants to talk to Cruz Montana. Darkstate of Cutler and Griffin walk in. They taunt Cruz in the locker room. He hits them and they fight. It gets broken up by Elijah Holyfield and Harlem Lewis. I think Harley Riggins and Jax Presley were also in the room here.

Naraku does a video. He says Shiloh Hill ignored his warnings. He says he won't be able to hide from what awaits him. He talks about his different types of mist. He says Shiloh's experiments won't prepare him fro the black mist. He says that will end things once and for all. He says Darkness will fall at Halloween Havoc.

Shiloh Hill and Lizzy Rain talk in the back. Hill says he needs a counter to the mist. Chantel Monroe comes in and asks if they saw the reflection of perfect. Rain says Monroe annoyed everyone in the last 2 hours. Monroe introduces herself. Rain says she knows who she is and Monroe can found who she is next week.

Thoughts: Chantel Monroe was all over this show today and I'm not sure why. It definitely comes across like they are just re-doing Blake Monroe with her.

Cruz Montana vs Dion Lennox

They have CM enter through the crowd, through some area that looks like an NYC subway.

They trade shots and CM slams him. CM corner lariats him. CM hits punches in the corner and Dion fires back. Dion backdrops him for 2. Dion spinebusters him for 2. CM lariats him down then corner chops him.

CM chops him down and sentons him for 2. Dion is sent into the bottom buckle. CM corner cannonballs him there. CM sitout powerbombs him for 2. CM is flapjacked onto the steps outside. Dion is pushed into the post.

We go to PiP break and return. CM superkicks him. CM lariats him and back elbows him. CM backrolls him into a cutter. Dion running lariats him then slingshot sitout bombs him for 2.

Dion tells CM his mom was a drug dealer and thinks he's a failure. He says the worst part is his daughter will know Cruz is his b!tch. CM boots him away and hits punches on him. CM clubs on him on the commentary table. CM spears him through the LED board rails. Both guys get counted out.

Thoughts: It's a shame we didn't get a finish as this was going well. It was one of the better matches both guys had been in and I would have liked to see a clean ending to this.

CM pounds on Dion after the bell. Refs come to break it up. Dion says CM is still his b!tch. CM punches out a guard then attacks Dion and Darkstate from behind. CM slams Dion on the exposed floor. CM curbstomps him on the exposed floor. Cutler tries to shield Dion and CM drops steps on his back. CM punches more guards then gets put in a handcuffs.

Thoughts: Dion getting Cruz arrested was the big gotcha moment here and they zoomed in on Cruz being surprised by it,

Overall thoughts: The Wagner's vs Birthright was acceptable. Dame/Diggs was average and I don't know why Diggs was brought back just to lose. The Creed's had an acceptable match with Hank and Tank and definitely worked a little different than usual in it. The Creed's are dead in the water though. Cruz/Dion was going a lot better than it should have, but we didn't get a clean ending to it. Chantel Monroe is basically now the new Blake Monroe and she was all over this show for some odd reason.There was a lot going on as usual here, but more isn't always better in NXT. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as it was an average show overall.

MLW Fusion 10/15/2026

2026-10-21T06:21:47.173-04:00

MLW Fusion 10/15/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/10/mlw-fusion-1082026.html

We are in Philadelphia, PA. Joe Dombrowski and Tom Lawlor are on commentary.

Killer Kross and Scarlett come out to talk. Kross gets a good reaction and he says the crowd got him fired up. He says MLW does not great talent back. He says speaking of great talent, there's Josh Bishop. He says Josh doesn't like being a called a young kid, but he is. He says he beat Josh 1v1 but then got pinned by him in a tag match. He says he can be the devil you know vs the devil you don't know.

Dijak and Josh Bishop come out. Dijak tells them and Josh to slow down. Dijak says they are a team. He says Josh didn't beat him, they did and "I did". Dijak says if Kross is giving out title matches, he's the captain and leader of The Skyscrapers and he should get the rewards of the victory.

Kross says Josh will have to grow up and speak up for himself someday. Kross says he's advocating for him to get a title shot and asks if he has anything to say. Josh grabs Dijak's mic to talk on it and Dijak tells him to wait. Dijak says this is part of Kross' plan.

Dijak says Josh will talk when he decides he should talk. Dijak says he deserves the title shot. Dijak says to give him what he wants. Kross then says he will defend the title against Josh if he wants it.

The commentators talk and hype up the show.

Tiara James does her entrance and takes a Zamaya sign along the way. She says she thinks she left Philadelphia better than how she found it last time. She says the city is still full of the things she hates like poor people, bad food and the sign she grabbed. She says the fans are the dumbest to ever do it and say they must be miserable if they support Zamaya. She says she came to give us a top tier experience and is calling out Zamaya. She says she's sick of the losers touting her like she's the next big star. She says she's not a bigger star than her, just a Temu Ultimate Warrior. She says Zamaya is a fraud and rips up the sign. Zamaya then comes out.

Zamaya vs Tiara James

Zam spears her as she enters. TJ tries to run and Zam chases her up the aisle. The bell then rings to start this officially. Zam death valley drivers TJ and pins her.

Thoughts: Zam won with ease here. Tiara did a decent job on the mic here and it's a shame she got squashed so easily.

We get a teaser for Yota Tsuji/Unbound Co. that says "Tonight".

We are told CJ Gallows did not show up to the arena and his debut is not happening tonight.

We are told the ring moved during Jumbo's last match and the ring will be re-enforced from here on out.

We get a video on Masha Slamovich with old clips of Russia. They talk about her being raised to think for the group and not the person. They say Masha was exiled to Siberia until Josef Samael found her. He says he didn't rescue her, but he recognized her. He says she's a soldier without an army and CONTRA gave her an army. He says her exile is over.

Lightning Match - Okumura vs. Love Doug

Doug hits lariats and gets nowhere. Doug throws rose petals at him and rolls him up for 2. Doug backrolls and poses. Doug dropkicks him twice. They go out and Oku chops him there. Doug is sent into the post.

Oku rolls him up for 2. Doug bulldogs him for 2. Oku iconoslams him and does a heavenly lock. Oku submits him.

Thoughts: It was a short squash. Oku didn't get that much in and it felt more like a showcase for Doug than him.

Rich Bocchini interviews Austin Aries, who has a Phantom of the Opera mask on. He says he does things on his time in regards to Riddle wanting a match with him. He doesn't think Riddle deserves a title shot. He says Riddle won't pressure him and there's nothing he can make him do to give him a title shot.

Don Gato shills tequila to the fans outside.

Opera Cup 2026 First Round Match - Matt Riddle vs Mark Coffey

Mark has GBOT with him. Joe Coffey is on commentary.

Mark armdrags him. Matt rolls him into an armbar. Matt overhead suplexes him. Mark flying euros him. Mark stomps him. Mark hits forearms. Matt hits chops and Mark lariats him. Mark knee drops and stomps him.

Matt is thrown out and Wolfgang hits Matt outside. Mark knee drops Matt for 2. We go to break and return. Mark back elbows him down then 2nd rope diving shoulderblocks him for 2.

Matt hits chops and forearms. Mark back elbows him down for 2. Mark chinlocks him. Matt hits forearms. Matt germans him. Matt flying knees him, exploders him and sentons him. Matt headscissors him over the top rope. Matt 2nd rope twisting swantons Mark and Wolfgang outside.

Matt fisherman busters Mark for 2. Mark rolls him up off a tombstone attempt for 2. Mark gamengiri's him. Mark sunset flips him for 2. Matt pumping knees him. Mark punches him and Matt hits a bad uraken that sounds Mark out.

Wolf rolls Mark in. Matt cutters Mark. Matt tombstones Mark and pins him.

Thoughts: Matt won as expected here. Matt's trunks were way too small here and he was showing too much skin. It was acceptable. Mark did the basics but he offense looked fine.

We get a video that says Tessa Blanchard is coming soon to MLW.

Rich Bocchini talks and says Josh Bishop will face Killer Kross at Saturday Night Superfight in a last man standing match for the MLW Title.

Josef Samael talks to Zamaya in the back. He congratulates her and said she was impressive in disposing of Tiara James. He says success attracts attention and he got the attention of someone who she wished had never noticed here.

We see clips of CJ Gallows arriving. Mark grabs him then Wolfgang nails CJ from behind. CJ is sent into a truck and left laying. Wolf asks where his dad is. Joe says this isn't even his fault. Joe says it's time for GBOT to leave their mark. CJ bleeds from the mouth.

MLW Women's World Featherweight Title Match - Shotzi (c) vs. Rina

Shotzi side headlock takeovers her. Rina hits her in the gut and pulls her hair to keep a headlock on. Shotzi armdrags her then 619's her. Rina dropkicks her. Rina running back elbows her and bangs her head off the buckles.

Rina foot chokes her. Rina throws her and stands on her throat. Rina snapmares her then armbars her. Rina armbars her. Rina cranks Shotzi's arm back then chinlocks her on the ropes.

Rina STO's Shotzi on the apron. Rina kicks the 2nd rope into the ref's crotch. Rina then hits Shotzi with a whip.

Rina chokes her with the whip on the buckles. Rina gori bombs her for 2. Shotzi sunset flips her for 2. Shotzi top rope sentons Rina and pins her.

Thoughts: It was acceptable. The last part of it brought it down some though with the ref bump and weapons usage. The two worked alright together.

We get another Yota Tsuji/Unbound Co. video. We then hear from Yota Tsuji. He says he's coming to Chicago for MLW Saturday Night Superfight and asks if we are ready.

Overall thoughts: Zamaya won a quick squash but Tiara James wasn't bad on the mic before it. Okumura won a quick squash too. Riddle/Coffey got enough time and it was acceptable. The main was also acceptable with Rina/Shotzi working okay together. I'd give it a 5 out of 10. It was average and there was nothing that great here on this one. There's nothing you really need to see from this.

EPW Wrestling Unleashed 9/12/2026 Episode #259

2026-10-20T22:02:04.862-04:00

EPW Wrestling Unleashed 9/12/2026 Episode #259

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/09/epw-wrestling-unleashed-952026-episode.html

We are in Booneville, MS. Gene Jackson and Joey Gross are our hosts.

We get a graphic for Bill Dundee.

Madi Monroe is interviewed. She says when she had the title, everyone knew where she was. She says then she lost it and it got real quiet. She says maybe she needed that. Diana Taylor interrupts. DT says she knows she's upset about losing the title but says they have been through this. She says she apologizes for getting pinned and costing her the title but says they can do this together. DT offers a handshake and Madi cries.

Eliza Haze then comes out. She says these two girls have a lot of love going on. She says as the representative of peace, love and flower power, she wants to offer one of them a chance at the SWF Traveling Title. Madi says she's got it, then says "we got it".

The Culture Project (Zay Washington and Enrico Stredivant) vs The Uncut Gems (Tyler LeMasters and Bobby Ford)

Zay and Tyler lock up. Tyler side headlocks him and gets his hair pulled. Zay side headlocks him. Tyler wristlocks him. Ford 2nd rope double axe handles Zay's arm. Ford armdrags Zay and bangs his head off the buckles. Ford flying back elbows Zay.

Tyler germans Zay. Ford top rope double axe handles Enrico outside. Zay facekicks Tyler. Tyler slips out of a brainbuster and pins Zay.

Thoughts: The Gems have been getting some wins here and picked up an upset in this one. What we got was fine and everyone did what they were supposed to do here.

Eli Knox is interviewed and he's asked if The Order are having in-house issues. Eli gets booed. He says when a group like The Order is so successful, people make conspiracies about it. He says The Order is stronger than it has ever been before. He says it's only a matter of time before the EPW Title is on Dorian's shoulders. He says he took down Moses Cain and asks what happens when Zero comes out. He says he will leave Xero laying on the mat.

EPW Apex Title - Eli Knox (c) vs Xero

Eli goes after X on the apron. X bangs his face off the buckles. X then top rope crossbodies him. Eli eye rakes him. Eli goes out and he sweeps X on the apron into a neckbreaker. Eli then gets a 2 count on him.

Eli hits downward elbow shots for 2. Eli swinging neckbreakers him for 2. Eli twists his chin. Eli hits elbow drops and poses. X hits shots to the gut and Eli suplexes him.

ELi clubs on him. They trade shots. X hits leg kicks and a spinning high kick. X tornado bulldog's him for 2. Eli blocks a move and hits a headlock driver for 2. X germans him then pumping knees him. Eli rolls him up off a 619 attempt and pins him.

Thoughts: It was acceptable. I didn't like the headlock driver being kicked out of though as it's a lethal move. They didn't really botch or anything and it went well. I like Xero but he could use some mic time to establish a character.

SWF Women's Traveling Title - Eliza Haze (c) vs Madi Monroe

They lock up and MM takes her down by the arm. MM boots her in the corner. MM corner hip attacks her for 2. MM running euros her in the back then she germans her for 2.

MM lariats her down. Eliza throws her down by the arm. Eliza gets a 2 count on her. Eliza does a corner hip attack but doesn't come close to hitting her. Eliza then does a second one that is a little better. Eliza bulldogs her for 2.

Madi hits lariats on her. MM drops her and samoan drops her for 2. Eliza throws her down off the buckles and sleepers her. MM goes on the 2nd rope and Eliza slides to the apron. They argue over the 2nd rope. Eliza rebounds MM with the rope into the ref. Eliza hits MM with the title belt and pins her.

Thoughts: It wasn't good. There were multiple bad looking spots here and the finish wasn't done well.

We see clips of EPW at last year's Tupelo Fair.

We see clips of The Initiative winning the tag titles back.

The hosts talk.

EPW Tag Titles - The Initiative (Jason Genesis and Trace Lee Hunt) (c) vs The Bad Era (Luke Justice and Biff Buchanan)

Arynanne is with The Initiative.

Hunt gets backed up by Luke. Luke wristlocks him. Hunt rolls and forearms him. Luke is hammerlocked by Jason then Jason side headlock takeovers him. Hunt elbow drops Luke.

We go to break and return. Jason hits corner spears on Luke. Hunt wristlocks him. Luke boots him in the gut and punches him. Hunt takes an atomic drop into a boot for 2. Jason comes in and Biff shoulders him over.

Hunt takes a double back elbow for 2. Hunt samoan drops Luke. Jason is flapjacked onto Luke for 2. Jason basement dropkicks him for 2. Luke blocks a double team and neckbreakers Jason. Luke hits punches on Hunt. Luke then is back body dropped into a powerslam for 2.

Hunt lariats Luke. Luke spinebusters Jason. Hunt comes in and Biff hits hard lariats on him. Biff slams Hunt then splashes him for 2. Biff takes a full nelson + codebreaker double team. Luke then takes a backdrop + backbreaker combo and is pinned.

Thoughts: Luke and Biff came in cold here and they aren't exactly made to be faces so it was a little hard to be invested in this one. Luke had some decent punches and Biff hit some nasty lariats here. It's not like it was bad or anything but Luke's team would have done better against faces like The Uncut Gems or Parental Advisory who could put them over a bit more. I thought it was average.

Overall thoughts: The opener and Knox/Xero was fine. The women's match wasn't good. The main was cold and even though the work wasn't bad, both teams were heels and it just wasn't the right match at the right time. There was a lot of commercials and time filler here. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as it was a bit average overall.

Sole hits Orly in the head with the tag title and Lou rolls onto Orly. Lou pins Orly.

Thoughts: Los Inmortales can't catch a break here as they lose another tag title match. They may have the most tag title match losses as a team ever. We didn't get to see that much of it and I don't think I can give it much of a rating because of it. It could have been a little cleaner.

The mayor of Aguadilla invites us to the Aguadilla show.

Orlando Colon vs Wilfredo "Lynx" Rivera

We seem to join this from the start.

They lock up. OC misses a shot in the corner. OC misses another shot and goes out to talk to the mayor of Aguadilla, who is in the front row.

They get up and Wil hits punches. Wil running forearms and running lariats him down. Wil then leg lariats him for 2. Wil hits mounted corner punches. OC flatliners Wil into the buckles. OC backcrackers him. OC top rope splashes him and wins.

Thoughts: OC won clean here. That's a rarity, especially against a face. That'll be Wil's second loss as of late and I wonder what the reason is for it. It was shorter and just average.

John Hawking does a promo. He says he likes challenges and says what better challenge than Bryan for the TV Title. He says Bryan is a seasoned vet and has been at the top of the company. He says he's in great physical shape and hasn't lost his pace. John says he has run his own course while Bryan was away from WWC. He says they will fight for the TV Title, which countless stars have fought for. He says Bryan has never faced someone like him with desire and hunger. He says he will show him who the great John Hawking is on Saturday and why he's the #1 Puerto Rican wrestler according to PWI. He says he wants to see Bryan's intensity.

Thoughts: I have no idea when this one was taped, but it's old as John Hawking is the current TV champ. We probably only saw half of it, but I think we got a good idea of how it worked. It was about average

Mike Nice does a promo. He says he's facing Xavant and says it's the first time they fought in the ring. He says Xavant will feel the power and says the title will come back around his waist.

Xavant does a promo. He congratulates someone named Iran Torres for becoming a mayor in PR. He says Mike Nice jumped at him at the most vulnerable moment. He says he trusted Mike before, but there won't be any explanations during their match. He says he has to face Bryan first. He says Bryan has earned a beating. He says he will fight with all of his heart until he triumphs as that's what heroes do.

Abel Durant shows us clips of Chicano beating up Oscar Benabe before his match with Mike Nice. We then see some of Mike's match with Oscar.

Chicano does a promo. Chicano says when he and Lightning were on the indies, they held events to bring in new talent. He says he saw a wrestler with a white mask. He says he chose that guy and while he gave him life, he bit him back. He says Oscar was that guy (?) and he wants to surpass the guy who gave him life. He says he took him out of the freezer and softened him up and then he will put him in the over once and for all at the next show. He says Oscar thinks he will go up like a rocket and he will crush him.

Oscar Benabe does a promo with the white mask Chicano talked about. Oscar says the mask represents many things in his life like a dream and an aspiration to make a name for himself. He says Chicano noticed his talent an discipline. He says life is a lottery. He says he wants to climb and says Chicano was probably scared too when he was in his position. He says the cut on his head that Chicano gave him won't stay like this. He says he will face him at the Halloween show but will see him tomorrow as he has him in his sights.

Intelecto Cinco Estrellas does a promo. He says Lightning has to admit his time has passed. He says he won't tell lies in front of the camera. He says he is not the same guy he used to be and says his years of wrestling took its toll. He says he will be the person who retires him. He says he came to WWC to become a legend and take out anyone who stands in his way. He says not to expect extravagance though.

Kamila does a promo. She says everyone will see Lightning become the new Caribbean champ. She says Cinco Estrellas' ordeal begins because they are ready.

Romeo Quevedo does a promo. He says he warned everyone what would happen and says the feeling of being right isn't easy. He says he debuted for the biggest promotion in PR 3 weeks ago and debuted for the NWA 2 weeks ago. He says he will debut for Powerslap as well. He calls Eddie Colon a disrespect. He says he wanted in PR 18 years ago, Eddie didn't help him.

Eddie Colon does a promo. He says he's facing Romeo Quevedo. He says Orlando Colon came to WWC with a grudge from the last company they worked in. He says he knows his motive and the cards he is playing. He says Romeo knows what he's doing in the ring and he respects him. He says Romeo is in his area. He says it will be difficult for Romeo and Orlando.

Orlando Colon does a video. He says Zcion RT1 is repeating the same things Ray Gonzalez said about him being a rat. He says he's a revolutionary and reads the definition of what one is. He asks what kind of revolution Zcion is running since he's been here for 20 years. He says it's stagnation and kissing the bosses @sses. He says everyone is moving backwards instead of forwards. He says he represents change and mocks his voice. He tells him to prepare himself. He says the title is too big for Zcion and tells him not to bring his father. he says what happened to Ray Gonzalez might happen to his dad. He says there will be a new Universal champ at the Halloween show. He says change, progress and Sangre Nueva are inevitable.

Zcion RT1 does a promo. He says he will tell him about himself, Felix Torres. He says he wants to absolve WWC of all responsibility and says he will speak straight. He says there's no wrestling or business worth doing here. He tells Orlando to say what he wants because the camera can handle it. He says talking about family crosses a sacred line. He says it's unfortunate Orlando's dad gave him a worthless son. He says Orlando threatened his dad, who is his hero. He dares him to lay a hand on his dad and says he will rip his head off if he does. He says he won't get away with it. He tells him to record another video and talk all he wants. He says he will answer him at the Halloween show. He tells him if he crosses that line, he will regret it for the rest of his life. He says he will see him on the 24th.

The hosts then close the show.

Overall thoughts: We had three matches here. The three-way was old and probably shown already at some point. None of the matches were anything too special. Zcion's promo to close the show was good though. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 overall. It was average and there was nothing that good here.

Jon Moxley and Marina Shafir are on the tron. Mox says he will return to NJPW. Shingo says Mox didn't even mention his name. He says if he's coming to NJPW, then he wants a match with Mox.

Thoughts: It didn't get enough time to be anything special. We had power vs power and technical vs technical battles here and not a ton of crossover between the two. It was fine for what they had to work with but it would have been neat to see this get a lot more time.

Thoughts: It was alright but never made it to being great. It didn't really get enough time and the structure just wasn't there. There were also a lot of different types of wrestlers here which made that one harder to pull off. They continued to push Newman/Will here and I think the people who want to see that most are the two people involved in it.

Newman hits Oskar in the back of the leg with a sword after. Newman pounds on him while United Empire grab Cobb. Will pushes Newman and Newman swings his sword at him. They stare down and Will yells at him. Newman threatens him with the sword then leaves it.

Thoughts: It was slightly acceptable. They really needed to bump up the pace at some point here but they did not. I didn't like them no selling either as Wolf is too early into his career to start doing that. I had high hopes for this and it didn't meet those.

Gabe talks on the mic after. He asks where the fighting spirit is and says Drilla and Shota can't touch him. He asks who has the guts to take the title from him. No one comes out, he calls them p*ssies and says he will see us at the Tokyo Dome.

Thoughts: It was a good match. Oiwa worked the side headlock most of the match along with some lariats. Yota worked the ribs and eventually won with a fireblaster. The crowd and announcers were into it, it made sense and I didn't have any problems with it. It would have been interesting to see how it looked if they added a big spots or two as it might have hit the "great" mark for me.

Yota talks on the mic after. He says Oiwa was close but he was a little stronger. He says he wants to see him win the title someday but he won't let him easy.

Kenny says Yota has no manners. He says he's an NJPW legend. He says Yota isn't the matchmaker and wants to talk to Hiroshi Tanahashi, who is at ringside. Kenny then puts the title on Yota.

Thoughts: I'm no fan of Kenny, so this doesn't excite me. Kenny and Yota will get the worst out of each other while Oiwa makes Yota work smarter. I do not understand why or how Kenny is unable to make these trips to AEW shows but has no problem making Japanese trips all the time.

Overall thoughts: I liked the opener and thought it was a great match to start the show with. The House of Torture tag matches were wastes of time. I liked what we got out of Oleg Boltin's match and wish it would have went twice as long. The six-man tag title match was fine but not as good as it could have been. Wolf/Fujita was slightly acceptable and disappointing. Gabe/Shota went too long and was acceptable. Had it been half the time, it would have been rated higher by me. Yoh/eagles was fine. The main was good and easily the best match on the show. I'd give it a high 6 out of 10 as we had some good wrestling here at various spots on the card and it was definitely better than what we normally get. It was a good show overall.

WWE Monday Night Raw 10/19/2026

2026-10-19T22:18:22.501-04:00

WWE Monday Night Raw 10/19/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/10/wwe-monday-night-raw-10122026.html

We are in San Diego, CA. Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett are on commentary.

Roman Reigns arrives in a car and is handed his title. Sami Zayn arrives behind him and walks past him.

Sami Zayn comes out to talk. He asks how many people came to ride or die with the last real good guy. Roman Reigns then interrupts. Roman takes forever to come out like usual. He says it's good to see Sami. They hug. Sami says he feels the same about him.

Sami says he gets all the stuff Roman told him about the burden of being champ. Sami says he gets it now. He says he also gets the disrespect Roman talked about. Sami says it all makes sense to him now.

Roman does his acknowledge me line to the crowd. Sami says it feels like old times. Roman says it's funny he came here as it's his (Roman's) show. Roman says he has an opportunity or a favor for him. Roman says the most important title Sami has ever had is "honorary uce". Roman asks if they are here to discuss the titles or discuss 946. Roman asks if he's here out of greed or love. He asks if he's here to serve The Bloodline.

Sami says Bloodline was some of the best times of his life and career. He says they are family. Sami says he's the head of his own table on Smackdown and needs to do things his way. He says he's the undisputed WWE champ. Roman says his title isn't a title but the title. Sami says Roman used to say the other title was the "A Title". He says maybe the title isn't important, but it's the arrogance. Roman says maybe it's about the man who holds the title. Roman says the title hasn't meant sh!t since Wrestlemania 40.

Sami says they won't act like the WWE Title isn't one of the hardest titles to win. He says they won't minimize his achievement. He says it's one in a billion. He says there's 8 billion people on the planet and only one is WWE champ and it's him.

Sami says he's disappointed and he didn't want things to go this way. He says what bothers him is that Roman isn't sweating him despite their match being 2 weeks away. He says Roman if anyone should know what kind of threat he is. Roman says he knows who he is and says Sami might not even have the title by the time they get to Crown Jewel.

Overall thoughts: Bron/Penta was acceptable. Iyo's ksy match was fine. JD/Joe was acceptable as was Vice/Lyra. The 3-waywas an okay match that was full of flying. That was the best match on here. The main event segment was alright enough and likely set up a Wargames match. It was an okay episode of Raw overall and I'd give it a 6 out of 10.

AAA on Fox 10/17/2026

AAA on Fox 10/17/2026

We see various wrestlers arrive.

La Catalina comes out. She says having the title isn't a dream but reality. She says she's the new champ and Reina de Reina's. She says the world changed in 2026 and she found out why she traveled so far to achieve her dream.

She says she beat Flammer, who was the longest reigning women's champ. She says she was told she couldn't do it and had to make a lot of sacrifices. She says your dreams can become a reality. She says there's a new era for the women in AAA. She says she wants to be the best and face the best. She says this is her story and the beginning.

Las Toxicas come out. Flammer questions the new era line. She says it's not a new era but a spark of good luck. She says she had a good night at Triplemania. Flammer says she was the longest reigning champ though. She says Cat didn't finish her story, she just interrupted it. She says she will recover the title.

Thoughts: It was acceptable. It had a little bit of a slower pace than it should have and things slowed down outside of the big spots. The Fiscal/Abismo feud continues on with no end in sight.

Fiscal says he's tired of Abismo and his Vipers getting involved. He says Abismo is the lowest of the lowe and his name doesn't belong to him. He challenges Abismo to a 1v1 match at Heroes Inmmortales. He then says he is his father.

La Hiedra talks to Rey Mysterio in the back. She says Flamme rhad her title shot at Triplemania and lost. She says if Cat wants to face the best, here she is. Rey says he agrees with her and will make a decision tonight to find out what's next for the Reina de Reinas Title.

Rey Mysterio does a press conference. He says Heroes Inmortales begins next week and will air over 3 weeks. He runs down the card for that. Rey says La Catalina will have La Hiedra and Lady Flammer for the Reina de Reinas Title at Heroes Inmortales. Rey says he can't wait to see what happens in the tag match tonight.

Thoughts: It was acceptable but not much else.The crowd wasn't into it and it was a bit of a random match. This was also a little bit of a slower paced bout. Doc took a nice bump over the commentary table on a tope and Galeno looked fine as usual.

The Wagner's pose in the ring. The lights go out. Perros del Mal run in. Wolf and Mesias pull out The Wagner's and hit shots on them. Those 4 trade while Perros del Mal watch. La Parka, Mr. Iguana and Nino Hamburguesa come out and fight Los Perros in the ring. Those 6 brawl inside then Parka and Berto fight outside as well.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches here. Both were acceptable but not much else. Neither match had a great build to it either. Outside of that, there was a lot of focus on Catalina's next title defense. The big focus was on Heroes Inmortales, which starts next week. It was a simple show for the most part. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 total as it was acceptable, but not that far off from being average.

2026-10-19T07:28:42.566-04:00

LM52 Lucha Libre Mexicana on Discovery Espanol 10/18/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/10/lm52-lucha-libre-mexicana-on-discovery_01629982839.html

Note - There's some backstage segments with various wrestlers here. But, LM52 doesn't use name graphics for these segments or wrestlers, so I have no idea who some of these guys are.

El Hijo del Alebrije and maybe Tonalli talk in the back.

We then see some of the female wrestlers talk at a gym.

We then see Alberije and maybe Tonalli take a phone video in the back.

We see clips of last week's battle royal with Eli Hijo del Alebrije winning.

Eli Hijo del Alebrije is interviewed.

Medico Brujo and Sick Boy are interviewed after. They then kiss the female interviewer.

We see the girls from earlier practice holds at the gym.

We then see Alebrije again with the other 3 people. He and Tonalli end up leaving.

Anti takes a double back elbow. Anti rolls up Hijo and pins him. Ton hits an angel's wings on Anti for 2. Anti flying forearms Ton then 2nd rope hurricanrana's him. Anti 2nd rope elbow drops Ton and pins him.

Thoughts: It wasn't that good. This had rules where both opponents had to be pinned for some reason and that was confusing. The ref also botched a count here. It's not like they botched anything but it wasn't that exciting.

Overall thoughts: The show sucks most weeks and this was no exception. They have random and different wrestlers on the show almost every week. They have backstage segments where they don't put graphics up for the wrestlers, so it's hard to know who is who. There's no real storylines outside of the endless Wagner/Pirata feud. Then we got matches with hardcore rules and rules where both teammates have to be pinned just to make things more confusing. It was hard follow, the wrestling wasn't good and it was more of an annoyance than entertainment. I'd give the show a 3 out of 10 as this was a good example of how not to run a wrestling show. This was bad.

Thoughts: It was fine and beat my expectations. Syu mostly did crabs here and won with a sharpshooter. There was a lot of technical wrestling in this and Matoi didn't look out of place at all. It was definitely one of Matoi's best showings yet.

Thoughts: It got a lot of time to play out. Ami's team kind of got buried here as HATE and Suzu couldn't even get alone yet they were still able to beat them. The story of this one was Suzu trying to be buddy-buddy with HATE and HATE having no interest in her. Suzu is now making her weight part of her gimmick, which I don't think is a good idea. It was acceptable.

Ranna attacks AI after and AI drops her with a forearm.

Kiyoka Kotatsu & Maki Itoh vs. STARS (HANAKO & Maika) vs. Cosmic Angels (Natsupoi & Saori Anou)

KK step up enzugiri's Hana and hits chest kicks. KK high kicks her. Hana facekicks KK down. KK takes a double samoan drop and is pinned.

Thoughts: It was short and not too serious. There was no less than 3 people in this at any time. Itoh's 4 person ddt spot was a new one. There were a lot of 3 person moves here. It wasn't boring and was something different.

Kikyo Furusawa & Rian vs. Cosmic Angels (Aya Sakura & Yuna Mizumori)

Thoughts: I say pretty much the same thing in Hanan's singles matches. She tries but she's a very average talent. She doesn't really botch anything, but she doesn't excite either. Hina's in a similar position. Put the two of them together and you get an average match like this. This got too much time and just never got anywhere close to turning into something great.

Hanan talks to Hina on the mic after. Hina also talks on the mic to her and is disappointed about losing. She leaves. Hanan then talks more and does the STARS pose with her stablemates.

Overall thoughts: It was a different Stardom PPV than usual. They were at a smaller arena, they didn't have big matches lined up and they didn't have as many matches as usual.

The opener was average. Syuri/Matoi was a lot better than I expected and was mostly technical wrestling. Suzu's match with HATE was different as she tried to work with them to no avail. Maki Itoh's match was different but not serious. Rian's match was fine as was the 8-woman tag. The semi-main and main were both average.

There was nothing you would really need to see here. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as I thought it was an average show overall. I don't think there was a clear match of the night here.

Thoughts: They did a lot more than what we usually get in these women's matches. Both girls were trying to do their best stuff here and both put out good efforts. Skadi did some moves off the buckles here and her size makes those moves impressive. The match was alright but was kind of based around spots.

The girls from the show all come out as Olym gets a belt for winning Universal de Amazones and as pink streamers fly.

Omar then closes the show.

Overall thoughts: The tag matches were mostly all the same. They were all tornado tag rules, people came in and out as they pleased and there weren't much story or logic. The opener was easily the worst match on the show. I would say the main was the best thing on here as the girls really put more effort into it as usual. There was nothing must see on this one. I'd say this show was acceptable enough and I'd only give it a 5 out of 10 total.

Thoughts: The Guns should probably have won here since it was thier PPV debut. And it's a 5-match series, so both teams are going to win and lose during it anyway. It was an okay match. The switch from the Tailgate Brawl to the PPV was a bit of distraction. They didn't do anything to out of the norm here to really put this over the top.

Thoughts: It kind of went as I thought it would with them both doing some cheating and Nick winning in the end. CJ didn't do all the wild stuff Nick usually does which helped things somewhat. It was acceptable enough and they had some of the logic of this down.

Nick gets on the mic after. Nick says he beat CJ for the 2nd time and a blast of fireworks goes off.

Thoughts: I didn't like it. It got too silly with TC mocking Idolo and it brought it down for me. This bascially turned into a comedy match and that's not what Ciampa should be doing.

Thoughts: It was alright. Bandido's big moonsault double fallaway slam spot at the end was super cool. We got a lot of mayhem and flying as expected. Some of the outside bridge spots could have been sped up or removed.

Kofi's team grabs the titles after as Band's team poses. Swerve drops his title instead of handing it to Page and Kofi/Creed hand their titles over to King and Band after.

Renee is on the stage and introduces us to the newest AEW member. They have some kind of giant old school clock. Ilja Dragunov comes out as expected. He's a good wrestler and he'll have a lot of good matches. I don't expect him to be a ratings draw and I worry AEW will get him even more banged up than he usually is.

1 point - Kazuchika Okada and Ricochet

Thoughts: This was obviously taken off of NXT's Iron Survivor Challenge...but I love that match so I'm not complaining. It didn't quite get enough time, which is not something that gets said a lot with big AEW PPV matches. I think this could have been expanded upon in a lot of ways with various stories, but at least it didn't overstay it's welcome. It was good. Like a lot of multi-man matches, you had people coming in and out randomly to do a spot then swap out with the next guy. It had a lot of action but wasn't as crazy as I had expected it to be. Will winning this as champ doesn't really do much to advance stories while it writes off the other guys for the time being. They said there would be a sudden death here if needed but oddly, we didn't get to it. I'd be down for seeing this one again. I think this might be better if the winner has to reach ___ number of points. Then, it can go as long as it needs to go.

Cope offers Will a handshake after and Will accepts it. Cope seems to motion that he wants the title still. Will poses with the title to close the show.

Overall thoughts: It was the usual very long AEW PPV. It went 4 hours and 15 minutes (plus the hour pre-show) and if you stayed up for this, you were up until 12:15AM. It's nice of them to try and give the fans their money's worth, but it's an endurance battle to get through these and it takes up too much time.The only match I didn't like here was The Young Bucks' match. The wrestlers didn't go all out for the main here but the main was a nice tryout for the concept. I'm sure the next time they do that match, it'll be insane, but today was not that night. This PPV had a real weak build going in but AEW is also just a more-wrestling oriented promotion and the stories are usually secondary to the action. I'd say the main was the match of the night. I'd give this a 7 out of 10 total and it was a good show.

2026-10-17T21:10:48.314-04:00

Meg gordbusters SB and Lena knees SB in the face. Hart takes a double chokeslam and is pinned.

Thoughts: It was acceptable. Hart and Skye stuck to superkicks as usual. I was almost surprised Divine Dominion won here after all the losses they took, lately.

The Don Callis Family (Jake Doyle, Josh Alexander and Wardlow) vs Alex Breeze, Papi D and Rhys Maddox

Rhys is from ROW and they pronounced his name wrong.

Josh forearms RM, germans one jobber and lariats the other over the top. Jake forearms a jobber. Jake corner spears RM. Josh drops RM back first on the apron then crossbodies his back.

Wardlow grabs RM by the hair. RM tries weak slaps. War hits a big lariat on him. War powerbombs RM. War powerbombs Alex. War then powerbombs Papi twice. The heels then stand on the jobbers chests and pin them together.

Thoughts: It was a squash with the jobbers getting destroyed. Rhys got the brunt of it here.

The Dogs (David Finlay and Clark Connors) and The Death Riders (Cluadio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia and Gabe Kidd) vs The Conglomeration (Roderick Strong, Orange Cassidy and Kyle O'Reilly) and The Bang Bang Gang (Jay White, Austin Gunn and Colten Gunn)

They said Jay White just got cleared to be in this.

Yuta pinned Colten with a rocket launcher from Claudio to win this match. Claudio did a very long giant swing on Orange during this. Marina Shafir and Willow Nightingale both got in the ring during this. This really wasn't announced until it happened and I'm not sure why. They had a very fast and rushed pace here to the point that I don't think it could have gone much faster. What we got was alright, but it didn't really have the time to be anything special.

Everyone ended up fighting after.

Best of 5 Series, Match 1 - FTR (Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood) vs The Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin)

Alex wristlocks and hammerlocks Dax. Dax armdrags Alex and Alex headscissors him. Dax side headlock takeovers Alex. Dax shoulders Alex over then side headlock takeovers him. Alex armdrags him.

Sabin back body drops Dax. Sabin hits mounted corner punches on Cash. Cash atomic drops Sabin and chops him down. We are told there's 30 seconds until the PPV starts. The show then ends before the match finishes.

Thoughts: We didn't see the ending here. I get the idea of making people order the PPV to see the end of the match, but for people who can't do that, it's a problem. And it is a very carny tactic.

Overall thoughts: It's a pre-show so it's a bit tough to rate. The women's tag was acceptable. We had a quick squash with The Don Callis Family. The 12-man tag was super rushed and fast paced. It was alright but it didn't get to be special. Having to order the PPV to see the end of the main event may have been an inspiration to some to order this, but it also meant people who aren't ordering the PPV are out of luck. If you are seeing the PPV, you'd have to at least see the main event of this one. I thought it was average otherwise though.

NWA Powerrr 10/17/2026

NWA Powerrr 10/17/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/10/nwa-powerrr-10102026.html

Joe Galli, Danny Dealz and Tim Storm are on commentary.

Kyle Davis interviews Colby Corino in the ring. Kyle says he doesn't know why he's here. CC says all he has been thinking about is NWA 78, where Kerry Morton beat him. He says he won't make excuses and says he was beaten 1-2-3. He says he knows he's better than that. He says the result wouldn't be the same if they fought again. He says he needs one more match.

Kerry Morton comes out with an unknown girl. Kerry tells Kyle to get out of the ring. Kerry says CC is asking for sympathy and he thought his daddy taught him better than to do that. He says the girl with him is his personal ring announcer and she takes a while to introduce him.

Kerry says he heard CC will do anything to have another match with him. Kerry says he talked to Billy Corgan and says CC can have another match with him. He says when he beats CC, CC has to admit he's the greatest wrestler that ever graced his presence.

Kerry says his dad is with him all the time but he never sees Colby's dad. He asks if his dad even loves him. He says Colby will also have to admit that his dad doesn't love him when he loses. Colby says that will never happen and challenges Kerry to fight right now. Kerry escapes out of the ring.

Sirena Veil and Paige Collett do a promo. SV says she knows she has a target on her back. She says she will accept Bobbi Thunder's challenge to the Bloodbath Invitational and will bleed her dry.

The King's Court talk. Trevor Murdoch says he could handle the match tonight but has accepted a tag match instead for Knox and Franks. He says he looks forward to it.

NWA Women's Television Title - Sirena Veil (c) vs Bobbi Thunder

SV has Paige Collett with her.

They lock up. SV goes for a blade runner but BT escapes. BT throws her over and BT rolls her up. SV misses a corner charge and BT bangs her head off the buckles. BT rolls and russian legsweeps her for 2.

SV hits knees to the gut and spin kicks her. SV pump kicks her down. SV rakes her back and euros her from behind. SV running lariats her for 2. BT hits punches and rams her into the corners. BT corner cannonballs her and fires up. BT spinebusters her for 2.

SV backdrops her. SV hits a blade runner and pins her.

Thoughts: It was beginner level wrestling work wise but it was a decent showing for both girls. No one botched anything and it's a definite improvement over SV's other appearances. Bobbi has personality and if he she can ever pull it together in-ring, she will get somewhere.

Big Ty does a promo. He says when he pulls up on your block, you need to pay attention. He says he's watching and says when you turn around, he will be there. He says he will get you when he gets you and says to pay attention when it comes to Big Ty.

NWA World Television Title - Alex Misery (c) vs Tony Leyenda

Alex runs at him and Tony catches him. Alex flying headscissors him. Alex enzugiri's him from the apron then top rope dropkicks him. Alex tope con hilos Tony outside.

Tony hits mounted punches on him. Alex handspring cutters him. Alex top rope splashes him and pins him.

Thoughts: It was average to acceptable. Alex took a neat looking back body drop bump into the buckles. Tony didn't get much in but the basics here. They didn't get all that much time for this one.

The Pope does a promo with The Light behind him. Pope pumps up his arms. He says him and Mims are like blood and has been through stuff. Pope says Mims is young and on the dumb side. Pump says they might tango, but they won't fight.

Bryan Idol talks to Thom Lattimer in the back. He says he was there to make the tag but missed it and it was too late. He says he was there for him and asks if Thom can just listen to reason. He says they both lost the match and he wasn't trying to make him look bad. He says they will talk when he is cooled off.

PB Smooth and Effy vs Axton Ray and Shawn Carlson

Pastor C-Lo is with PB Smooth. I think this is Shawn's NWA debut.

Effy and SC trade waistlocks. Effy hip attacks him and atomic drops him. Ax and PB get in. Ax chops him and PB no sells it. PB throws him in the corner and chops him. Ax limbos out of a lariat and is thrown down by the leg. Effy walks the top rope and diving lariats Ax.

Ax powerslams Effy for 2. SC side slams Effy then 2nd rope diving lariats him. Effy takes a double spinebuster but tags out. PB shoulders over his opponents. PB corner splashes SC. Ax jumps at PB and PB slams him. PB legdrops him. SC tries to break up the pin but splashes Ax. PB STO's SC down.

Big Ty comes out and takes out Pastor C-Lo. Ty facekicks PB and Ax rolls up PB. Ax pins PB.

Thoughts: Big upset here with Ax pinning PB. It was a bit of a mess and we had a lot of different things going on. I don't like PB taking the fall when Effy was here.

Keznie Paige does a promo. She says she has to be a fool to try to retain the tag titles with Kylie when Kylie screwed her out of the battle royal and hit her with a title belt. She says maybe she just got worked by Nattie. She says she's her big sister and will clean up her mess with big sisters do. She says they will retain the tag titles.

Brandon McCord goes up to BFT in the back. He says he knows they got a match with Jack n' Eddie but says they aren't a challenge for them. Brandon says he's got their back if they need something. He says he's got the guys. He says if anyone's got a better deal, they should consider The McCord Collection. Brandon says he can get them anything.

The Hardway come in. Dalton says they need to talk. Jack Vaughn says he will handle this and says they need to talk.

Gretta vs Ruby Red

This is Red's NWA debut. TV-MA is with Gretta.

Gretta piefaces her and headbutts her down. Gretta dumps her over the back from the bearhug position. Gretta then walks on her.

Gretta reverse bearhugs her and throws her down. Gretta chokeslams Red then pins her with a foot on the chest.

Thoughts: This was just a quick squash and not much else. Gretta dominated and Red got nothing in.

It's Me...The Carson Drake Experience

Chris Nowinski is Drake's guest. Chris wants to be called doctor and asks how he is post-concussion. Drake says he's fine and had to get sunglasses after suffering it. He says Chris understands what he's going through. Chris says he was accused of faking his concussion that ended his career. He says he has a help line now with his organization. Chris asks who Drake's doctor is but Drake seems nervous and doesn't provide any details. Chris says he was glad to see the match with Silas end. He says he's never seen anyone fake an injury and says you'd have to be a real jerk to fake a concussion. Drake looks uncomfortable and Chris says thank God he didn't do that.

Thoughts: The story has been that Drake faked his concussion and they pushed that further here.

The Pope vs Mims

Pope comes out alone.

Pope offers a handshake and they shake hands. They lock up and Mims backs him up in the corner. Pope wristlocks him and side headlocks him. Pope trips him and misses an elbow drop. Mims side headlock takeovers him. Mims then does it again.

Pope headscissors him, they get up and Pope slaps him. Pope forces a break and eye pokes Mims. Mims shoulders Pope over twice. Mims corner splashes him then backsplashes him. Mims side slams him.

Pope calls for timeout and The Light attack Mims from the behind. Mims wins via DQ.

Thoughts: It wasn't much. I'm not surprised. The NWA not only has a habit of doing this, but this started about 4 minutes before the show ended so something was up.

The Light beat up Mims after. Pope says he told The Light he'd beat up Mims himself. Pope then STO's Mims, solidifying that he has turned on him.

Overall thoughts: Veil/Thunder was a very basic match. Alex Misery beat Tony Leyenda in an average to acceptable match. We had a random tag with PB Smooth and Effy where PB ended up taking the pin. Gretta won a squash. The main event was short and totally nothing at all. It was the usual disappointing NWA show with random matches and lackluster wrestling. It wasn't good. I'd give this a 4 out of 10.

ELP cut throat spinning torture rack neckbreakers him for 2. ELP top rope splashes him and the time limit runs out.

Thoughts: It went to a 15 minute time limit draw here. It was longer than it needed to be. They couldn't really keep up the excitement between the bigger moves and it made it drag some. I think this would have been a lot better if it only went 10 minutes. I thought it was average.

ELP wants 5 more minutes then chants for one more match. ELP offers a handshake and AA gives him one. AA then hits him with the title and beats up on him. AA says, "one more match, in your dreams". Adam Priest then comes out and saves ELP.

Overall thoughts: It was the usual ROH show but at least they kept it under 90 minutes. We had a couple champs in action and a competitive main. But we also had random bouts and wrestlers. There was nothing that great here. Maybe the semi-main was the best bout on this one, but it's almost a stretch to say that. I'd give this a 4 out of 10 overall. I thought it wasn't that good of a show.

WWE Smackdown 10/16/2026

WWE Smackdown 10/16/2026

Thoughts: Well, that was a surprise finish though not a good one. Rey's been getting featured a lot lately but still isn't that over. What we got was acceptable here RS really didn't need the loss here, so they avoided it with a DQ.

RS beats up Rey after then hits another roshambo. More refs come down and RS stomps him.

He says a lot of things changed but Cody whining in the ring stayed the same. Baron says some people don't have the killer instinct and some are born with it. He says he doesn't need friends and likes to hurt people but Cody is obsessed with being the good guy. Baron says none of that matters and Baron says him winning the title is the only thing that matters. He says he will do it at Cody's expense.

Cody says he'd usually have the patience for this. He punches him and lariats him over the top. Cody calls for a ref to come out and says they still have time to do this.

Thoughts: This wasn't much at all. We didn't see the start of this and we didn't get a real finish. This was also beyond random.

Orton beats up Cody outside and bangs his head off the apron. Orton euros Cody. Orton's head is banged off the commentary table. Orton hits punches on Cody on the commentary table. Orton bangs Cody's head off the commentary table. Cody is sent into the post. Cody hits a cody cutter on him. Baron comes in and hits shots on Cody. Cody runs up the buckles and hits a super cody cutter. Orton leaves the ring. Cody then punts Baron while Orton says Cody won't do it. Orton is surprised.

Overall thoughts: 4 of the 5 matches had non-clean pinfall finishes here though one of them ended that way due to injury. Trick/Gargano was average and Gargano got no reaction. Paige/Bella was average too. Priest/Truth ended early due to injury. Fenix/Saints had a bad finish but the match was acceptable. We barely got any of the main at all and it ended on a DQ as well. I thought this was below average overall with bad finishes, random last minute matches and and a very weak main event. I'd give this a 4 out of 10 and wouldn't recommend it.

Thoughts: Eh, it wasn't much wrestling wise but the logic was right and it was entertaining.

The Hardy's talk to Expressions and AJ Francis in the back. Expressions wants AJ to get a TNA World Title shot. Matt says AJ wants a big match for a big man. Matt says AJ faces the GOAT's tonight.

HH ends up fighting Apex 1v2. Zoey superkicks HH and HH is alley ooped into a kneelift. SB puts a choke on HH and HH is out. SB's team wins.

Thoughts: It was another shorter bout here. It made sense and was fine. The heels needed the win here a bit more with SB's team being new. The faces didn't get a ton in but it also meant no botches.

TNA World Heavyweight Title #1 Contendership Five Way Ladder Match - Elijah vs. Trey Miguel vs. Moose vs. Jason Hotch vs. Ricky Sosa

Eli climbs the ladder. Nic Nemeth comes out and pushes the ladder over. Nic superkicks Eli. Nic then climbs the ladder and goes for the contract. Trey stops him. Trey lightning spiral's Nic. Trey climbs the ladder and grabs the contract. Trey wins.

Thoughts: Trey winning was a big random upset here. Him vs Leon should be entertaining but it's not exactly a major money drawing match. The match was acceptable but they took it easy here. It was more of a house show style ladder match than them going for a classic. I was curious as to what would have happened if Nic grabbed the contract.

The Hardy's come out and congratulate Trey. Matt thanks everyone for being part of their 35th Anniversary and says thanks to TNA. Leon and Trey shake hands and Leon holds the title up at him.

Overall thoughts: It was kind of like a house show or something. Everyone took it real easy here and everything but the main was on the short side. Angles and storylines were also very brief here. It had a totally different feel to it than a normal Impact. I'm not sure what that was about.

The show was a fun little show though. We saw a bunch of matches we don't normally see and even though the matches were toned down, we got to see a tables match and a ladder match. Nic/Ryan was short but they had the right idea and it was entertaining. The tables match was kind of a waste. The Hardy's did what they were supposed to do in their match and Expressions was ineffective as expected. The women's trios match was fine. The main was alright but it was definitely a safer and limited ladder match. They did tie a couple of storylines in though which was good.

I'd give the show a 6 out of 10. There was nothing must see but it was fun and something different. I thought it was easy to get through and enjoyable. This was fine as a one-off event.

EPW Wrestling Unleashed 10/10/2026 Episode #263

Thoughts: It was acceptable. It was brawling heavy as expected. Mostly everything looked fine here though I think something got messed up on the spot where the ref went down. They didn't bleed or do any big spots, but it was safe and mostly clean.

Mike Anthony and Wonder Boy talk after their last man standing match. WB sits down, Mike sits down next to him and offers him chips. Mike says not much needs to be said but he thinks he's ready now. Mike points at WB's Crossroads Cup and say, "do the d@mn thing".

Hollywood Jimmy messes with the faces then EK sends Cain into the post. Marko cutters EO. AR tags in. He drops The Order and corner splashes EK. Marko topes 2 heels outside. Izzy pulls AR's throat down over the top rope and running lariats him. Cain then comes in and black hole slams Izzy.

Cain is double teamed then he black hole slams EO. EK fameassers Cain. Marko 2nd rope os cutters EK. Dorian Vain comes in the ring. He and AR fight and The Order should be DQ'd here.

Thoughts: It was alright enough though the finish was a bit lame. We didn't see a lot of Aaron Roberts in this. Marko's offense looked good as usual.

Everyone fights in the ring. Vain foot chokes AR. Xero runs down and top rope crossbodies 3 of the heels. AR running boots Vain out. The heels all go out and the two sides yell at each other to close the show.

Overall thoughts: The women's street fight was acceptable. Ty/Enrico was fine and Ty had a good showing. The main event was also fine but had a bit of a lame finish. I'd give this show a 6 out of 10 overall. The show was okay.

Juggalo Championship Wrestling 10/15/2026 JCW Lunacy Episode 103

2026-10-15T21:50:40.255-04:00

Juggalo Championship Wrestling 10/15/2026 JCW Lunacy Episode 103

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/10/juggalo-championship-wrestling-1082026.html

Joe Dombrowski and Mark Roberts are on commentary.

Caleb Konley complains to Violent J and says Mr. JCW is Kerry Morton under a mask. He says this is another Orange Phantom thing. J says this is serious as Mr. JCW is suing them. J says like it or not, it's not Kerry Morton but Mr. JCW. He says he's coming in, like it or not. Caleb says he doesn't believe him.

The Backseat Boyz come in and are complaining. J calls them crybabies and says they are here to beg for a match tonight. J says they are in luck as another team is asking for a match too. J says they won't know their opponents though until they come out. JP says it more f*ck sh*t. They say they will win and become 4x JCW Tag champs.

The Boys leave and Malcolm Monroe III comes in and thanks J for the opportunity. J says we have two different opposites - a man with dignity and honor and a man with idiocy. J says Caleb was like him but because an idiot. He tells Malcolm to stay how he is and don't become an arrogant prick like Caleb. J tells him to have a good match. Caleb barks at him.

Big no sells a double superkick then he hits a double chokeslam. Big then chokeslams Mike onto the Boyz. Big dogpile pins all of them to win.

Thoughts: Look, it's JCW. It's supposed to be ridiculous. It was entertaining and done well with Bigfoot coming in and destroying. I'd hate this in any other fed, but this was exactly what it should have been and I enjoyed it. Bigfoot is over as a mega face in JCW.

Bigfoot then runs off through the crowd and Mack Davis goes chasing after him. Mike yells after as he realizes Bigfoot is on the loose again.

We see Barnabas begging outside. Dani Mo and The Outbreak come up to him. Barn is happy to see them and says last week felt like a dream come true. Barn says the crowd wants them to be back together. Dani and The Outbreak walk away and Dani says she's got no change for him.

We see Sally Boy arrive with a box of chocolates.

Barnabas begs outside and finds someone from a movie/tv show called Meatball Mama's. He says this person would be better if she was a wrestler. He tries to recruit her and says he can take them to the top. This person talks on the phone and they decline Barn's offer. Barn then asks for spare change.

Thoughts: It was inevitable that Steven Flowe would get involved and he eventually did. They tried and it was more workrate focused than the usual match. Both guys could have had better strikes here though. It wasn't that good.

The ring Rat wants Facade's approval after but Facade walks away.

Sally Boy is looking for Big Al in the back.

Choppa City run into Barnabas crying outside. Barn asks if they want to beat him up again. They ask what happened to him. Barn sees the tag titles and offers to manage them. Barn makes his pitch to them. Bruce says they are at the top and Barn stuck the zombies on them a month ago. Barn asks if they have change and they give him some money. Barn says to call him but says his phone is off as he doesn't have a pot to p!ss in.

Mack Davis talks to Mr. Happy and Baby Pooey. Happy and his kid come out in a stroller and they greet the DJ and the commentators. Happy wheels the kid around in the ring.

Mack congratulates Happy. He asks how it feels to be a new daddy. Jasmin St. Claire and Dijak interrupt and come out before Happy says anything.

Jas says it's impossible to be mother of the year but she could never be as good as Lindsay Clancy. She promises to make Happy's life a living hell. Happy gives her the middle finger then Dijak gets it too. Dijak yells at Happy and wants him to put the baby down.

Jas and Dijak argue. Happy hits Dijak with a stroller but Dijak no sells it. Dijak kicks Happy in the crotch. Dijak then beats him with the stroller. Dijak grabs the baby and Jasmin wants Dijak to elbow drop it. Happy then grabs the baby. Dijak takes the baby and elbow drops it.

Mack Davis then goes up to Happy and the baby. Mack says the baby is fine without a scratch on him. Happy does the happy dance.

Dr. Fadem, Mack Davis, Mr. Happy and Violent J talk. Fadem says he only sees a small scrape on the arm and says the baby is lucky and happy. He says Happy is lucky but fat and strange. Fadem asks Happy if he has hemorrhoid issues and says J can attest that's the man for that stuff. J says he's fine and gets mad.

JCW Tag Titles - Bunkhouse Brawl - Choppa City (Bruce Wayans and Atiba) (c) vs The JWO (2 Tuff Tony and Willie Mack)

Mad Man Pondo is the special ref for this.

Tony drinks pre-match and offers Pondo some. The JWO attack first and Atiba is thrown out. Mack lariats Bruce down. Atiba chops Tony outside and Tony punches him. Bruce chops Mack outside.

Tony shoves Pondo. Pondo hits Tony with a stop sign twice. Bruce then pins Tony and Pondo fast counts the pin.

Thoughts: Choppa City took a bunch of floor bumps here. This could have been shorter as it was slower and almost all brawling. It had some moments but I would say it was average.

Sally Boy finds Big Al. He says he appreciates her picking him last week. Sally says he's trying to change things and gives her chocolates. He then walks away and Al doesn't say anything.

Choppa City talk in the back. Tony and Mack go up to them and yell. Tony says Pondo screwed him. Bruce says Pondo is crazy and it's their problem. Mack says they should take this opportunity to beat their @sses. Atiba says let's do it then. They fight and Pondo appears behind a door laughing.

Lineal JCW World Title - Josh Bishop (c) vs Painful Paul

Joel Gertner is with Paul. Caleb Konley is on commentary.

Paul goes for the chokeslam. JB eye rakes him and hits chops. JB hits running corner lariats then a corner spear. JB backdrops him.

Jeeves and EC3 pop up behind Caleb. EC punches Caleb and throws him in the ring. EC pounds on him. JB then attacks EC, Caleb and Jeeves. This is ruled a no contest.

Thoughts: We didn't get a lot of this before the bell. And because both guys are so big, it limited what they could do.

Krule then comes in to join the fight. The JWO then come help Paul and join the fight. Choppa City then comes out and joins the fight. "Thunderkiss" Bulk Rogan then comes out and starts dropping everyone with punches. Bulk slams Bruce and lariats Atiba and Tony. Bulk throws Krule and Paul out. Bulk hits punches on Mack and throws him out. Bulk then points at Jeeves and hits punches. Bulk gives him the big boot and legdrops him. Bulk then does Hulk Hogan poses to end the show.

Overall thoughts: It was the usual JCW show for the most part. The non-wrestling segments carried the show while the wrestling segments were average. If you enjoy what JCW usually does, you will probably enjoy this one, but if you are looking for notch wrestling and big budgets, this won't be for you. The Backseat Boyz' tag was entertaining with Bigfoot getting super over. Monroe/Facade wasn't that good. Choppa City's match was longer and could have been a little better. The main wasn't much and ended in a giant brawl. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 as the show was fine due to the non-wrestling segment. Non-JCW fans would probably want more out of this one.

WWE Evolve 10/14/2026 Evolve Succession IV

WWE Evolve 10/14/2026 Evolve Succession IV

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/10/wwe-evolve-1072026.html

Note - Laynie Luck, Cappuccino Jones, Sam Holloway and Marcus Mathers are gone from WWE. Cap and Sam getting cut are big surprises. I never really thought Sam even needed to be in Evolve and WWE was clearly high on Cap for a while.

Note 2 - This went up against WWE Main Event and AEW Dynamite. There were no announcements about this show changing days or times to make room for Main Event and the show appears that it will stay on Wednesdays at 8PM for now.

We are at the Performance Center in Orlando, FL. Robert Stone and Blake Howard are on commentary.

Wnedy Choo says she should be walking in as champ but Nikkita took it away from her. She says she will be the last woman standing.

Nikkita Lyons and Sloane Jacobs talk. Lyons says she will put Choo back to sleep and be the last man standing.

Harley Riggins says this is where the road to NXT begins or ends. He says his reign starts tonight.

Harlem Lewis says this is an event where a chammp builds a resume. He says he will take his Harlem Violence World Tour to the next level.

The hosts talk and welcome us to the show.

HR throws him down backwards. HR double jump twisting swantons him for 2. HR misses a corner charge and Lewis spears him. Lewis jackhammers him and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a shorter but explosive match. They all did high impact moves here and both guys got slammed pretty good. This was a good battle and one of the best matches both guys have had. This really worked out about as well as it could have and this lived up to expectations. It was an okay match here. Riggins took a hard german on his neck.

Adriana Rizzo (now fired) interviews Harlem Lewis after. He says he loves a good fight. He says Riggins is his toughest challenger so far. Riggins then nails him from behind. Riggins boots him and sends him into the rails and steps. Riggins slams him on the bottom half of the steps and chairs him in the gut. The ref takes the chair from Riggins. Riggins then drops the top part of the steps while Harlem lays on the bottom of steps. We couldn't see it clearly though. Harlem bleeds from the mouth. Riggins says something about it being his ring and the Evolve Title into the camera. Officials check on Lewis.

We see clips of Josiah Jean being signed to WWE ID at a Reality of Wrestling show. Booker T tells him the good news.

Thoughts: It was a fun little match here. Vanta continues to look like a star. Luck had one of her best matches yet against her and it's a shame, because it's going to be one of her last WWE matches since she is now gone. Vanta won as expected.

Adriana Rizzo interviews Elijah Holyfield. Eli says it's no secret he's on his way to the top. He says he knows it and so does Braxton Cole. He says Cole is dumber than he looks if he thinks they are done. Eli wants to run it back. The now fired Marcus Mathers comes out. He says everything he said about Cole is true. He says he took Eli's best shot and he's tough but not unstoppable. He says he can run circles around him and Braxton Cole. Eli says the first punch was a warning and the next one will change his life. It's GAL then comes out and breaks this up for some reason. Gal tells Marcus it's not worth it.

We get a video where they talk about how some of the former and current Evolve wrestlers are doing.

Sloane Jacobs comes out and says everything is perfectly aligned. She says her inspiration makes her 4th title defense at Succession IV. She says it's the woman with a the voice of an angel, the heart of a lion and the presence of a champion. She says she fulfills her prophecy as the last woman standing. She then brings out Nikkita Lyons.

WWE Evolve Women's Title - Last Woman Standing Match - Nikkita Lyons (c) vs Wendy Choo

Choo has been fired, so she will probably lose here.

Thoughts: It was an okay bout here. We got a couple of hardcore spots and it was one of Lyons' better matches. There was nothing wrong with this one and they did fine.

Skylar Rae points at Lyons and Sloane after, seemingly wanting a title shot.

We get an update on Harlem Lewis. Lewis has suffered a serious injury and is out of action indefinitely.

Overall thoughts: It was a good show overall. We had 3 matches and all over delivered. Harlem Lewis is now out though which should change things up and 4 different people on this show have since been fired, which should also change things up going forward. Lewis/Riggins was the match of the night. I'd give this a 7 out of 10. They delivered here.

Thoughts: Cope won as expected here. It was alright. It didn't go too long and wasn't too slow. I liked Josh doing some of Cope's moves here.

Cope puts Josh's earguards on after. Cope says the last few weeks have been difficult. He says after the ladder match at All Out, Christian Cage broke 3 ribs and had collapsed lung 5 minutes into the match.

Cope says Cage did it for his work ethic and the fans. He says he needed to do soul searching because of it. He says his face isn't on the posters of teenager's walls anymore. He says he's aging out and says 2027 will be his last year in wrestling. He says that's why he has to go for the AEW Title.

Thoughts: I've never been a big Edge/Cope fan. His matches have always been slower paced and not particularly exciting. He's also not really a character I ever resonated with. I'm not too torn up about him retiring.

Don Callis and Brian Cage interrupt. Don says it's been a great night for The Family as Mark Davis pinned Mox. He says Cope might think he won the battle tonight, but Don says he always wins the war. Don asks who he thinks he is. He says people like Cope don't decide on retirements, people like Don tells him how it's gonna be.

Don says he doesn't like Cope's chances of seeing 2027 or of seeing Clockwork Carnage. Cope then gets jumped by The Don Callis Family. Cage F-5's Cope. Konosuke Takeshita and The Conglomeration head to the ring to save cope. The heels back off.

We get a video on Clockwork Carnage.

Sabin says AEW has the greatest tag division in the history of wrestling. Sabin says they want to prove they are the best by beating them. Alex says FTR beat The Bucks 3 out of 5 times and they want a title shot because of it. Alex says what if The Guns beat FTR 3 out of 5 times? Alex challenges them to a Best of 5 series. Alex says they should do Match 1 tonight.

Stokeley says no and says it's not happening in Cleveland. Stoke says The Guns had their shot at FTR years ago and disappeared. Stoke says this is a big money match and a dream match/series. He says there's no other place to kick it off than Wrestledream.

Thoughts: I didn't get this segment at all. FTR has a good case for a title shot and just agreed to a Best of 5 series instead with no title shot guaranteed. Meanwhile, The Guns have done nothing here because they haven't been around.

Adam Page's crew does a promo from Grand Slam Paris. Page asks what Swerve thinks he's doing. Page says Swerve tried to drag him through the same hell they have been through.

Thoughts: Reed didn't do much but big spots and KO didn't do a great job of selling them. Reed would hit something big then KO would get right after. KO had some weird black stuff in his hair during this match that fell out.

We get a video on MJF being PWI's #1 in the PWI 500.

The New Level and Prince Nana do a promo. Kofi and Creed ask where Swerve is. Nana says Swerve has serious family business to take care of, but he sent a good friend to take his spot. Nana brings in an actor/comedian named Mojo Brookzz. Mojo talks about what he wants to do to Brody King. The New Level try to talk him out of it then head to the ring.

Joe gives Will his title belt after. Will then checks on Idolo and helps him out.

The heels attack Hyan and Dani after. Queen Aminata comes out to chase the heels away with a belt.

We get an Ilja Dragunov teaser video, though they don't show his face.

Thoughts: DA won as expected here. They did work some limbs a bit but they didn't focus that hard on any of them. DA's much higher on the totem pole so he won here in this random bout. It was acceptable but Darby didn't do anything wild here.

The Don Callis Family comes out and stomps DA after. United empire comes out. Lance Archer is double superkicked out. Okada dropkicks Will and goes for a rainmaker. Cope comes out and then stares down Okada. Cope and Okada trade shots and Cope impaler ddt's him. Ricochet ends up hitting a spirit gun on Mike Bailey from behind then holds the AEW Title up.

Will Ospreay knocks down Joe. Cope spears Will on accident while aiming for Okada. Okada rainmakers Cope. DA dropkicks Okada out and coffin drops multiple people on the outside. Security comes to break up the battle as the show ends.

Overall thoughts: It was a 3 hour special that went 3.5 hours. I'm glad I did not stay up to watch all of this. If they are going to run long, it's better if they just start early instead of running past 11:30PM. As always with these specials, there was a lot of stuff that probably could have been cut. The main focus here was building up Clockwork Carnage at WrestleDream. It's essentially a random match though, so there's only so much that can be done with it.

Wrestling wise, almost everything was fine here, though I didn't like Cage/Takeshita or Okada/Reed much. I would maybe say the opener was the best match here. I wouldn't say anyone gave their very best effort here as the PPV is this weekend and no one wanted to get hurt ahead of it. There was a ton of last minute matchmaking here with multiple matches being set up as they just didn't have a lot of time to set stuff up for the PPV. And to be honest with AEW pretty much having a set number of fans that doesn't change all that much, I don't know if it matters.

I'd give it a 6 out of 10 overall. There was a bunch of decent wrestling here and it was okay, just nothing was must see.

PP grabs brass knucks but misses the punch. Joe grabs the knucks. The ref sees it but pretends he doesn't. Joe punches PP out with the knucks and pins him.

Thoughts: The ending was a bit bogus with Joe clearly cheating and the ref allowing it, but they sold it as the ref getting payback on the heels for them cheating. The match was acceptable but had a lot of interference from Cesar. Neither guy did anything too crazy here.

Manu gets a piece of paper with money in it, telling him to keep his mouth shut. It also says he's elite. The writer is "the future owner of IWA".

Super Atomo does a promo. He says he and Salazar de la Muerte have unfinished business. He says Sal started this by attacking him for no reason at Summer Attitude. He says he's ready for any problem and says their last battle was a great battle. He says Sal is a great wrestler and is dangerous. He says Sal didn't bring him down but had to cheat to win. He says Sal proved nothing against him and says he seeks revenge. He says he will get even and take the title. He tells him to get ready as the Super Atomo he faced last time will not be the same guy next time. He says he's more prepared than ever to take the title from him.

Thoughts: This was Tono's debut so he kind of had to win here. It was similar to the last match with the heels cheating a lot, only they got away with it this time. It was also acceptable and made sense with Pupe getting a comeback in before going down.

Pupe is put on Tono's back and they try to hang him with the cowbell and rope. Niche comes out and makes the save for Pupe.

Pedro Portillo III receives the same note that Manu got with money in it.

El Dragon Nihan does a promo. He says Ricky Banderas never knew how to answer no matter how many times he asked him.

He says he dreamed of being a tag champ and said Matty said he would help him. He says Matt got frustrated and stabbed him in the back in their tag title match. He says Matty showed how shady and how much of a rat he is. He says he will show him where the grease is hidden and tells him he will see him at Golpe de Estado.

Barbie Boy and Mr. Iguana do a promo. Boy says he knew Pimpi wasn't wrong when he gave him Iguana's number. Iguana said he doubled up and points to his two titles. Iguana says they have to defend their tag titles. Iguana asks if Pedro wants the titles. He says they will see if Pedro goes back to being the man he claims to be.

Pedro Portillo and Cesar Aldea talk in front of a pc. Cesar says Iguana and Barbie fell for it. Pedro says the titles look ridiculous on them. Pedro says he will reach stardom with him. Cesar says he's been tag champ 3 or 4 times but it will be different this time.

Niche is in the bathroom looking for Jose Navarro. Tono Machete jumps him and pounds on him on the floor.

SA superkicks him in the gut and os cutters him. SA goes for the pin and Cesar Aldea gets on the apron. The ref yells at Cesar. Manu brings a chair in and hits SA hard with it in the head. Manu then pins him.

Thoughts: Manu was real stiff here. Like the other two matches on this show, there was a bunch of interference. What we got wasn't bad. I'm surprised they had Atomo lose again after losing to Salazar.

El Dragon Nihan then gets a note with money in it.

Pedro Portillo III takes Barbie Boy's puppet in the back. He says he cares little about what he does and Barbie should care little about what he does. Pedro tells him to get out of his way and says it's his fault he's not Intercontinental champ. Barbie says let's talk about this piece by piece and tells him to show respect to the new IWA Intercontinental Tag champ. Cesar Aldea then hits Barbie from behind. Pedro and Cesar stomp Barbie and Pedro slaps Barbie with his toy. Cesar holds Barbie. Pedro tells him to polish the title as he needs one more in his collection. Pedro then hits him hard with the tag title in the face.

Jose Navarro is at his ranch. He grabs a saddle and finds the same note everyone else has found with money in it.

Persia Pierce goes up to referees in the back. They say she can't be here and tell her to go to the locker room. Persia gets mad and pushes the refs aside. She then runs into a room, finds La Brava Escobar and attacks her. They fight and the refs break it up.

We see Johnny Cotto riding a motorcycle as sound clips of Savio Vega trash talking him play.

Overall thoughts: All 3 matches were basically the same here. No one did anything too crazy since the footage was a free outdoor show. There was a lot of outside interference in each bout. The work was acceptable enough, but I don't know if we needed to see it three times in a row. We saw videos of more wrestlers receiving mystery envelopes with money in them but we still don't know who is sending those letters. The show was acceptable overall, but it was comparable to a house show. I'd give it a low 6 out of 10 overall.

This is the first episode of Main Event on Rumble.

Blake Howard and Vic Joseph are on commentary.

Rey Fenix vs Kit Wilson

Kit throws his shirt at him. Rey then does Kit's dance. Kit backs him up in the corner and shoves him. Kit then does his dance. Kit misses a charge. Kit clubs and chops him. Rey flying headscissors him. They go back in and Kit back elbows him down. Rey goes for a springboard and is pulled face first onto the top buckle.

Kit misses a top rope splash. Rey kips up and superkicks him. Rey elevated sitout pedigrees him and pins him.

Thoughts: Rey won as expected. It wasn't bad but Rey's selling was poor as usual. Kit got more offense in than he usually does. Rey is the current AAA Cruiserweight champ, so he wasn't losing here.

Ricky Saints vs Nathan Frazer

NF has Axiom with him.

They lock up and RS wristlocks him. NF armdrags him but RS holds on. NF headflips out and flips him by the arm. NF armdrags him twice and armlocks him. RS backs him up in the corner and hits punches on him there. NF boots him out of the corner. NF running dropkicks him.

RS clubs him. RS is thrown out. NF spin kicks him in the head. NF then tope con hilos him outside. NF slingblades him inside. NF top rope splashes him for 2. NF goes up top and is tripped. RS hits a roshambo and pins him.

Thoughts: It was average. Saints wasn't that interesting on offense and he won as expected. NF mostly got offense in during his comeback before being put down. This should have been a little faster paced.

Austin Theory vs Dragon Lee

Maxxine Dupri is with AT.

AT backs up Lee on the ropes. Lee side headlocks him. They shoulderblock battle. AT trips him and poses with Max. Lee flying headscissors him then dropkicks him. Lee hits combinacion cabron in the corner. Lee flying corner dropkciks him for 1.

AT is put in tree of woe and Lee top rope double stomps him. Dupri gets on the apron. Lee rolls up AT for 2. Dupri tries to get in. AT eye rakes Lee and spinning forearms him. AT pins him.

Thoughts: It was acceptable. Lee hit his usual offense. AT's forearm finish was bit weak though. They ended it at the right time.

We get a quick recap of last week's Smackdown.

Gunther does a promo from after Smackdown. He says he came here to compete and put titles around his waist. He says he got distracted by a goofball like Danhausen. He says he grinded too hard and long for someone disgracing this sport. He says the same goes for Finn Balor, whose time has passed. He says he had to beat it into both of them and now he will go take what's his - the WWE Title.

We get a some recaps from Raw (946 vs Bloodline, Breakker spearing Evans and Judgment Day beating up Chelsea Green).

Chelsea Green is interviewed after Raw. She says she doesn't blame Roxanne Perez for wanting to get a match with her. She says she ambushed Perez's crew and promised the crowd she would win. She says she did the opposite. She says she will train so hard that the next time she faces Liv at Crown Jewel, there will be no doubt she's the greatest women's champ of all time.

Sol Ruca vs Lyra Valkyria

They lock up. Sol armdrags her. Lyra backs her up in the corner and shoves her. Sol shoves her back and Lyra takes down. Lyra twists her ankle. Sol dropkicks her. Sol flips Lyra onto her gut and backslides her for 2.

Lyra's backsplash is caught in the corner and Sol drops her on her chest. Sol surfs on her back and superkicks her. Sol is pulled over the top. Sol PK's her from the apron. Sol goes for a springboard but is pushed down.

Lyra boots her in the leg then elbow drops the leg. Lyra rocking chairs her then stomps her knees into the mat. Lyra half crabs her and kneels on her neck. Lyra really pulls back on Sol's leg.

Sol takes her down and hits mounted shots. Sol leg lariats her for 2. Sol hits back elbows then germans her. Sol then kips up on one leg. Sol springboard splashes her for 2.

Sol is swept on the 2nd rope and Lyra stomps the back of her leg. Sol sunset flips her for 2. Lyra basement dropkicks her. Lyra clips her from behind. Lyra fireman's carries her and Bayley's music hits (but she doesn't come out). Sol backcrackers her with her feet then hits a sol snatcher. Sol pins her.

Thoughts: It was alright. Lyra worked the leg here and Sol tried to sell it while doing some flying. Bayley's music hitting at least furthers some of her program with Lyra.

Bayley then comes out and raises Sol's arm.

Overall thoughts: This was one hour long with commercials. We had 4 new matches, a Raw and SD recap, 2 new interviews and a Bayley appearance. Fenix/Kit wasn't bad. I didn't like Saints/Frazer. Lee/Theory was acceptable and the main was fine. I'd say Fenix/Kit was the best match on here. It was nice to see the Lyra/Bayley storyline get furthered some and it was nice to see some exclusive interviews, but you could really skip this and not miss anything of real importance here. What we got was fine and the Rumble stream had no issues. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 and it was acceptable, but you don't need to see this one.

Next week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/10/mlw-fusion-10152026.html

We are in New York City, NY. Joe Dombrowski and Tom Lawler are on commentary.

Thoughts: I was fine with this. AE flew and didn't do the comedy. Kwon stuck to being a heel and won as expected. AE's springboard spiral tap was impressive.

Rich Bocchini interviews Austin Aries. Rich says what AA did to Mistico was disgusting. The crowd boos AA and he thanks them for the warm welcome. He says he had a plan and executed it. He says he had to make sure Mistico wouldn't become a 2x Opera Cup champ and he did that. He says the path is now clear for him to win the Opera Cup.

We get a video on GBOT/Glasgow Boys On Top.

Opera Cup 2026 First Round - Wolfgang vs Big Damo

They lock up and let go. They shoulderblock battle. They both go out then shoulderblock each other outside. Damo chops him then Wolf chops him in the ring. Wolf goes up and over and Damo crossbodies him. Damo walks on Wolf's gut. Damo slams and legdrops him for 2.

Wolf chops him and corner crossbodies him. Wolf top rope double axe handles him. Damo pop-up drops him and elbow drops him for 2. Damo goes up top and gets hit. Wolf top rope superplexes him.

They lariat battle. Damo pump kicks him. Wolf catches his crossbody and slams him. Wolf running sentons him. Wolf tries a top rope swanton but Damo gets his knees up. Damo does a nasty high angle reverse ddt and pins him.

Thoughts: Wolf should not have taken that elevated reverse ddt. That was ugly. I liked what we got otherwise here though. They worked a standard hoss match and used their size on each other. Damo was moving well and they did a decent job with the limited time they had.

We get another video teasing Unbound Co. from NJPW.

Rich Bocchini interviews LaBron Kozone. Bron is on the top of the building looking out. He says Teddy Long said some things he shouldn't say on air but he told him to keep winning. Bron says he's not done with GBOT and they got a lot more coming. He says his #1 focus is winning the Opera Cup.

Jumbo vs. Rich Moya

Jumbo running corner splashes him. Jumbo then pins him with a foot on the chest.

Thoughts: Jumbo won in seconds here and maybe didn't even break a sweat.

Tessa Blanchard is coming to MLW.

Rich Bocchini interviews Matt Riddle. He says Killer Kross owes him a shot at the MLW Title. Austin Aries interrupts. AA says he's owed a shot as he's the Openweight champ. Matt says everyone knows he would smoke him. AA says Matt doesn't know who he is and says he's Austin Aries, not Mary Jane. Matt says he will knock him out any day and anytime. AA says "just not today?".

MLW World Tag Team Title New York City Street Fight - The Skyscrapers (Donovan Dijak & Josh Bishop) (c) vs. Killer Kross & Matt Riddle

The faces attack the heels and pound on them. KK knees DD in the corner and punches him. Matt hits kicks on JB. Matt hits forearms on JB and JB double throat thrusts him. KK hits DD with a trash can lid.

JB boots Matt in the gut. JB clubs Matt's chest. Matt htis JB with a chair in the gut and back. DD throws a trash lid in KK's face. Matt then kits JB with a fan's cane. Matt drops DD with a hard forearm then pumping knees him. JB chops Matt outside and KK throws a trash can lid in JB's face.

We go to break and return. KK chairs DD in the back and gut outside. JC chairs Matt and KK. JB chokes KK with a kendo stick. Matt chairs JB. Matt hits body kicks on JB. JB electric chair death valley drivers Matt for 2.

JB chokeslams Matt. DD top rope moonsaults Matt for 2. DD throws KK out. DD tells JB to set a table up. KK hits the heels with a kendo stick. JB headbutts KK. The four trade forearms. The heels low blow KK and Matt en stereo. The heels get weapons smacked into their faces. KK and Matt hit running corner forearms then stereo suplexes. JB and DD take stereo cutters. JB no sells the cutter.

JB throws Matt out. JB then powerbombs KK through a table. JB then pins KK.

Thoughts: It got a lot of time. The match was fine. The first half was mostly weapons shots and them taking it easy a bit. It picked up a bit more in the second half when it turned into more of a wrestling match. Kross and Matt were a fun team here and the heels took their whoopings here.

Overall thoughts: I was fine with all 4 matches here. There was a lot of okay wrestling here but nothing that I would say was must see. We had limited storylines as usual with this show, but the in-ring work delivered. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 overall.

Orlando Colon talks to Carlito on the phone at his house. Carlito is upset and Orlando says this is all part of the master plan. He says Chicano had a bad night but Eddie Colon is at a dead end. He says Eddie was kicked off the heel and face end and says Eddie has no choice but to come with them. Orlando says if they don't get him overseas, they will get him here. Orlando says he will order Eddie to fight Romeo Quevedo at the Halloween show and says Romeo is an animal. He says Eddie will have to join Sangre Nueva if he loses. Orlando says everything is going the way they want it to go.

Orlando said Ray Gonzalez's ego was shattered when he had to ref the match between him and Alberto, so he messed their match up. He says he thinks Ray wants to retire anyway. Orlando laughs. He says Eddie will have to fight Romeo at the Halloween show and join Sangre Nueva if he loses.

Thoughts: I really don't get the logic of why they would want Eddie to join Sangre Nueva and the translations didn't provide much insight.

The hosts talk and take us to the first match.

WWC Carribbean Title - John Hawking (c) vs Intelecto Cinco Estrellas

Orlando Toledo is with Cinco.

They hockey fight and the bell rings to start this. John drops him with a punch and lariat. John dropkicks him. John chops him in the corner. John pulls him out and hits punches and chops. Cinco eye rakes him. They each get shots in outside and they trade punches.

John gets punches in and takes corner spears. Cinco corner meteora's him for 2. Cinco chinlocks him. John fights out and is thrown down. Cinco stomps him in the gut.

We go to break.

"La Amenaza" Bryan does a promo at a car dealership. He mocks Xavant saying the champ has arrived. he tells him to stop being so stupid. He says he's Television champ and as television champ, he has rules. He says channel 4 doesn't want to show Xavant's ugly, fat face. He says he will make some adjustments with his hammer (his fists) and says he will fix his nose. He says he will pull some teeth out. he says his employers require it from him and it's time to end their war. He says Aguadilla is the perfect place for this and says the locker room isn't big enough for the both of them. He says they either end this or something bad will happen. This was hilarious as usual from Bryan.

Xavant does a promo. He says the champ has arrived and things are heated. He says he has to face the technico Bryan at the next show then he has to face Mike Nice after. He says he considered Mike a brother since they had so many battles together. He says then he started listening to Chicano who has lead him astray. He says he won't take it easy on Mike and says they will get their hands dirty. He says he will fight with all his heart against Bryan too as that's what champions do.

The mayor of Aguadilla invites us to Aguadilla Mania.

We return to the match.

John hits punches on Cinco. John hits running lariats and corner splashes him twice. John side slams him. John springboard elbow drops him from the bottom rope for 2. John misses a corner splash and Cinco spinning lariats him for 2.

John goes for a chokeslam, Toledo distracts the ref and Cinco low blows John. Cinco then rolls John up by the tights and pins him.

Another ref comes in and tells the original ref what happened. The ref asks the sound guy if that happened and the refs talk. The ref raises John's hand and Cinco walks away with the title. The announcers don't seem to know what the official call is here.

Thoughts: Well, the match ended and we don't know who exactly won. That's a problem. It wasn't the big main event match it should have been here. It was simple and easy and they did little but the basics. The finish was weak too.

Eddie Colon does a promo. He says he was ordered by the dictator Orlando Colon to fight Romeo Quevedo. He says he has to join Sangre Nueva if he loses. He says it won't happen. He says he's up against the wall and that's when he's most unpredictable. He says he's the horse who can't be tamed.

Dumpster Match - Eddie Colon vs Chicano

I assume we are seeing this from the start but I'm not 100% sure.

They fight in the entrance area. Eddie hits chops and punches. They get in the ring and Chicano hits punches. Eddie flips over Chicano's back and dropkicks him. Eddie then slides down his back over the 2nd rope.

Eddie top rope crossbodies him then dropkicks him out. Eddie then topes him and Mike Nice outside. Chicano tries to put Eddie in the dumpster. They eye rake each other outside. Chicano stomps and punches Eddie in the ring. Chicano then leg chokes him over the 2nd rope. Mike chokes Eddie.

We go to break.

Mike Nice and Chicano do a promo. They say they will fight Zcion and Benabe, if there' anything left of Benabe. Chicano says he and Benabe have a history and it's just picking up the story again. Mike says Benabe showed him he has balls but it's not enough. He says he doesn't regret what he did and says he massacred him. Mike says he feels like a new person and says he will hit Benabe in the face in Aguadilla. He says he has Chicano too who will finish Zcion. He asks why he would be afraid of Benabe and says he will finish him off.

We return from break.

Mike chokes Eddie more over the bottom rope. Chicano running boots Eddie. Eddie clubs Chicano and tries to throw him in the dumpster. Mike Nice breaks it up.

Chicano slams Eddie. Chicano misses a top rope swanton. They trade shots and Chicano eye rakes him. Eddie back body drops him. Eddie then cartwheels and fires up. Eddie hits leg kicks then figure fours him. Mike Nice tries to break it up but misses an elbow drop. Eddie lariats Mike over the top rope. Chicano flying forearms Eddie.

Eddie sends Chicano to the apron. He spears him off of it. Mike Nice isn't paying attention and closes the lid on his buddy Chicano. Eddie then wins.

Thoughts: That was a real dumb move by Mike. I'm not sure how much of this we saw here, but what we did see was mostly average. They didn't do anything too wild here, they didn't bleed and they kept things to a minimum. Eddie is a good face though.

Orlando Colon does a promo. He asks if Zcion RT1 knows what a revolution is and says his actions say he doesn't. He says he's been here for 20 years and is in the same spot on the card. He says he represents what WWC is about: stagnation, a lack of creativity and a lack of inspiration. He congratulations him on becoming the Universal champ but asks if he's worthy of it. He says he doesn't think so. He says the Universal Title is for real men.

He says Zcion doesn't know what a revolution is and uses his father to win matches. He asks who he has beaten besides Intelecto Cinco Estrellas and Lightning? Orlando says he returned to WWC a few months ago and beat Eddie Colon, Alberto and Ray Gonzalez.

He says he hopes Zcion takes the match seriously as he has a score to settle. He says the pandemic ruined his last title reign. He says he plans to cut his head off and teach him a lesson about what a revolution is. He says he will show him that change and progress is inevitable and so is Sangre Nueva.

Thoughts: I didn't like this promo. He not only buried Zcion but all the people he beat too.

Zcion RT1 does a promo. He says it's easy for Orlando to sit in an armchair and talk trash at the camera and voice his frustrations. He says he talks about the revolution when he doesn't know what it means.

He says Orlando stabbed his own family in the back and stabbed Carlos Colon and Victor Jovica in the back. He says he owes his career to his family and last name. Zcion says he has never betrayed The Colon's and has always been a loyal soldier because they believed in him. He says he owes them his allegiance.

Zcion says he's been giving blood and sacrificing for a decade in WWC. He says Orlando's biggest dream is to be WWC Universal champ, but he dialed the wrong number and created his own nightmare. He says he will meet the revolutionary who revolutionized the company over the last decade. He tells Orlando to fight for his life. He says he will have to kill him and says they will go to war.

Axel and Abel then talk. They shill tickets and tells us to tune in next week.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches here. We don't know what the official ending of Hawking/Estrellas was since Estrellas cheated, a second ref told the first ref what happened and then we cut away. It was a simple and average match for the most part and far from the big match it should have been. Chicano/Eddie was a similar situation as they took it safe and easy. It was all promos otherwise here as usual and was the usual WWC show. I'd give it a 4 out of 10 as it was a little below average overall.
