Ring of Honor on HonorClub 1/22/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/01/ring-of-honor-on-honorclub-1152026.html

We are in Arlington, TX. Ian Riccaboni and Caprice Coleman are on commentary.

The Premier Athletes come out. Mark Sterling talks. Mark says his bicep was ripped from the bone 120+ days ago and hasn't been touched since due to Stori Dinali. He says if the Dallas Cowboys had one athlete the caliber of his team, maybe they would have made the playoffs instead of watching from the sidelines. He then tries to get the fans to say, "Athletes Rule", but they don't.

The Premier Athletes (Tony Nese and Ari Daivari) vs Adam Priest and Tommy Billington

Jay Lethal and The Swirl do an inset. They say Tom and AP need to find something else to do with their hurt feelings and say they are far from done.

AP pushes Ari when he won't shake hands. Ari slaps the hand away. Ari takes AP down by the wrist. AP hits back elbows on Ari. AP shoulders him over. AP takes double team shots in the corner. Nese is tripped and hit with an elbow drop. Tom works Nese's arm then AP 2nd rope double axe handles Nese's arm. Tom then does the same to Nese and AP double axe handles the arm again. 

Tom hiptosses Nese and is hit with an upkick. Nese side headlock takeovers him. Tom backrolls him for 1. Tom shoulders over Nese twice. Tom trips over Nese then is clipped in the leg. Nese's back is rammed into the rails. Tom is then sent hard shoulder first into the side of the ring.

Mark and Ari stomp Tom outside. Nese hits shots on Tom. Tom hits shots to the gut and sells his arm. Nese arm whips Tom down for 2. Tom's throat is pulled down over the top rope. Nese misses a triangle moonsault. Ari elbow drops Tom's back. They double clothesline each other down. 

AP comes in and hits lariats on Ari. He corner chops him. AP htis a big german. AP 2nd rope diving tornado ddt's Nese. Ari cradles AP for 2. AP then puts on a crab while Tom puts a crossface on Nese. Mark Sterling gets on the apron and the heels get free. Ari flying shoulders Nese on accident. AP euros Ari over. 

Tom is pulled over the top rope and Ari hits a hard lariat on AP. AP takes a double team lifting ddt for 2. Nese is sent into Ari and dragon screwed. AP half crabs Nese. Stori comes in while the ref is distracted and she chokeslams AP. Nese goes for the pin and Tom top rope diving headbutts Nese.

Tom topes Ari outside. AP cradles Nese for 2. AP backrolls Nese and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a good opener. It got a lot of time. Tom got sent hard shoulder first into the side of the ring and he got thrown around a bit. AP looked fine and they all put out a good effort here.

The Swirl come in and stomp the faces with The Athletes after. They then put them in figure fours while they pound on them.

Handicap Match - Satnam Singh vs Dante Leon and Josiah Jean

Jean's an ROW guy like Will Allday. Leon's a decent flyer and did Noah tours.

Sat pushes both over and double clotheslines them. Sat chops Jean in the corner then throws him. Leon then is chopped down in the corner. Sat throws him then bangs Jean's head off the mat. Sat clubs down Leon. Jean clips Sat then he and Leon double club Sat. Sat hits a double chokeslam. He stacks them on each other and stands on them to pin them.

Thoughts: It was a squash as expected. Satnam did his usual stuff It's a shame Jean and Leon didn't get to do a full match as they would have done a good with it. Satnam should get a title shot at some point since he's now 13-0 on ROH.

CRU (Action Andretti & Lio Rush) vs Alec Price & Jordan Oliver

AP and JO just got signed by AEW. They'll be on this show a lot. Cru doesn't have Lacey Lane with them.

AA and Jo lock up. JO trips him then side headlocks him. AP wristlocks AA. AA bridges and headflips out. AA dropkicks and armdrags AP. Lio wristlocks AP. AP flips out using the ropes. Lio rolls him. 

All 4 get in and evade each other. They then stand off. Cru get hit from behind and are stomped on. JO and AA chop each other. AA takes a double back elbow and a double legdrop for 2.

AP forearms JO off the apron on accident. Lio corkscrew kicks AP. AA lariats AP. AP takes a double falcon arrow and is pinned.

Thoughts: It was a fun fast paced match here. They never really stopped and I enjoyed it. Cru got the win as expected. Price was so fast here.

They shake hands after.

Dalton Castle & The Outrunners (Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd) vs Auzzy, Hitt and Gino Medina

I haven't seen Auzzy yet but have seen his partners. 

Auz refuses Truth's handshake. Truth side headlocks him. Truth hiptosses him then side headlocks Gino. Gino is hiptossed then Truth chops him. Turbo 2nd rope punches Gino in the head. Gino takes a knee lift then a double hiptoss. Auz takes one as well. Gino takes a double back body drop.

DC comes in and hits suplexes on his opponents including Hitt. The faces hit triple slams then do a double elbow drop + double axe handle. Gino is hit with a bangarang and is pinned.

Thoughts: It was a squash here. It wasn't too much of note. The faces hit their signature moves. We didn't see Hitt until the end here. The jobbers were mostly here to get thrown around.

Deonna Purrazzo does a promo. She says standing next to Madison Rayne meant a lot to her. She says she was right when she was told she has work to do. She issues an open challenge. She says she's a fighting a champ and excellence is required.

ROH Pure Title Proving Ground Match - Lee Moriarty vs. Matt Menard

MM has some words for him and they shake hands. Lee waistlock takedowns him and rolls him into a 2 count. Lee is thrown out but lands on his feet. MM goes out and Lee goes back in. 

MM side headlocks him. MM shoulders him over then side headlock takeovers him. Lee trips him and armbars him. MM uses his first rope break. Lee boots him in the back of the head. MM shoves him. Lee spin kicks him in the gut and boots him in the head. Lee euros him. 

Lee cobra twists him. MM uses his 2nd rope break. Lee shoves him from behind. MM drops him with a punch and gets a warning for it. Lee running facekicks him out. MM is stomped on when he gets back in. Lee forearms him in the arm. 

Lee misses a springboard and is lariated. Lee forearms MM a few times. MM chops him and hits forearms. MM back elbows him. MM hits mounted corner elbows. MM russian legsweeps him for 2. MM does a crab on him and Lee uses his first rope break. Lee rolls him up for 2 then does a border city stretch. MM taps out.

Thoughts: I think the idea they went for was that Menard was trying but wasn't really in Lee's league. They did good job with that but it wasn't the most exciting match and didn't do a lot for me.

Shane Taylor Promotions beat up Menard after. Skyflight makes the save. 

Londyn Dior & Rachael Ellering vs. MIT (Billie Starkz & Diamante)

Dia rolls up RE and RE shoulders her over. RE armwhips her down and baseball slides her for 2. They trade pin attempts. Dia knees her in the gut. BS side headlocks RE. RE wristlocks her. BS stomps RE's foot. BS spins her and sweeps her. BS then basement dropkicks her. 

RE hits chops on Dia. RE's head is banged off the buckles. She takes a corner lariat and corner dropkick for 2. RE hits a double clothesline on the heels. LD gets in. She hits forearms and a backhand on BS. BS kicks LD from the corner. BS is knocked off the top when Dia tags her from behind. Dia spinebusters LD. Dia top rope swantons LD then topes RE off of it. Dia heel hooks LD and submits her.

Thoughts: It was average. I'm curious if BS was supposed to be knocked off the top or not because I think it was a botch. RE was in this one for most of it. 

Big Bill and Bryan Keith vs KM and Will Allday

Will is from ROW. BK throws his jacket at Will and hits shots. BK chops him down. Will snapmares him and PK's him. Will topes BK outside. Will is caught in the air with an exploder. 

KM gets in. BK slaps him and is shoved backwards. Bill tags in. KM boots him in the gut and is lariated. Bill misses a corner splash and KM corner splashes him. Bill corner splashes him. Will jumps off the top and BK catches him with a forearm. KM takes facekicks from both opponents.

Bill bearhugs Will then black hole slams him off of it to win.

Thoughts: It was a squash that didn't go too long. I was hoping for more of a Bill/KM fight than what we got. I wish they would have let this go a while because I think it would have been good. 

Ace Austin vs Johnny TV

JTV forearms him down to start and kicks him. JTV hits shots to the gut. AA backrolls into an armdrag. He then dropkicks JTV out. Taya Valkyria blocks AA outside then JTV hits a moonlight drive on the floor on AA. Taya then stomps on AA outside. JTV and Taya then kiss. 

They bridge up together. JTV does a grounded choke. JTV heavenly locks him. JTV misses a corner forearm. AA hits knees on him then russian legsweeps him. AA legdrops him. AA hits corner lariats. AA helicopter kicks him.

AA doctor bomb's him for 2. JTV samoan drops him. AA blocks starship pain with a roll up for 2. JTV ducks a helicopter kick then springboard enzugiri's him. JTV running knees him in the face. JTV misses starship pain. They trade shots. AA hits leg kicks and forearms him. 

AA is flipped to the apron. He kicks Taya away then JTV enzugiri's AA. JTV is enzugiri'd up top. AA headscissors him down. AA hits the fold and wins.

Thoughts: It was a decent high flying battle as expected. Taya didn't cheat as much as I expected here. I had no real issues with this and would have been fine if it went even longer.  

Overall thoughts: The opener was the best thing on here as it got a lot of time and they put out a good effort. Cru's match was decent and the main was fine. I think there was only one champ here in action which was a bit lame since ROH has so many champs. We had a couple squashes as well as usual. Had some of the matches here gotten more time, I think this would have been a better show than it was. I would give this a low 6 out of 10 as it was watchable and had some okay wrestling, but there was nothing great here as usual and there was limited storyline progress.

WWF Superstars of Wrestling 9/5/1992

WWF Superstars of Wrestling 9/5/1992

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/01/wwf-superstars-of-wrestling-8291992.html

Vince talks over clips from Summerslam to start.

Vince McMahon and Mr. Perfect are our hosts. Vince says Perfect's plans backfired on him. Perfect says to enjoy it while you can as you haven't heard her the last of them. 

The Legion Of Doom (Animal & Hawk) vs Gary Jackson & Jerry Stevens

The LOD attack before it starts and Gary gets hit. Animal boots and dropkicks Gary. Animal lariats Gary. Paul makes jokes with Rocco. Hawk chops and gorilla press slams Gary. Gary is slammed then JS gets headbutted. Hawk clubs JS then gutwrench suplexes him.

Hawk chinlocks JS then knees him in the gut. Animal powerslams and elbow drops JS. JS takes a corner lariat then a doomsday device. Hawk pins JS.

Thoughts: It was the usual LOD squash with the jobbers getting nothing in and being routed easily. 

Vince shills ICOPRO, saying you won't find any steroid freaks with it. He says we are talking about science.

WWF Event Center

Sean Mooney hypes up the 10/3/92 Boston Garden show. Nailz, Kamala and Razor Ramon do a promo. Nailz says he's glad Bossman is coming back for another beating. He says he will finish him off this time. Harvey Wippleman says Kamala will single out Taker in this match. Razor tells Ultimate Warrior to paint it up real pretty as he's going to slap him around.

Tatanka does a promo. He says he knows who The Mountie is and says he knows who stands behind him. Tat says the great Indian leaders spoke to him and says he will realize what a Native American is all about.

Nailz vs Tommy Stevenson

Nailz chokes him in the corner and throws him down backwards. Nailz kicks him in the ribs and chokes him more. Tom's head is banged off the buckles and Nailz chokes him more. Nailz rubs his face into the mat. Nailz running back elbows him then lariats him. Nailz then does his sleeper/choke and gets the win.

Thoughts: It was the usual unimpressive Nailz squash with him doing nothing but choking Tommy.

He hits Tommy in the gut with the night stick then chokes him with it.

WWF Event Center

Sean Mooney hypes up the 10/3/92 Boston Garden show.

High Energy do a promo on The Nasty Boys. Owen calls them The Fat Boys. He says the fists will fly and they will fly to the top. Koko calls them The Fat Boys. He says they will got to the top and says The Nasty's are the underdogs.

The Nasty Boys do a promo. Hart says it stops when the music stops. Saggs says anyone they can get their hands on is going to Nastyville and says High Energy is first. Knobbs says they will clip Koko's wings and ground Owen forever.

The Mountie does a promo with Jimmy Hart. He says mirror, mirror on the wall, whose the greatest Indian of them all? He says there are none. The Mountie says Tatanka does a tomahawk motions when he comes out and he mimics that he will be seeing "get out of here" motions when he loses.

Crush does an inset promo. He says many people don't know he's from Hawaii and says his hands will take him to the top.

Crush shoulders over Kato. Kato knees him in the gut and chops him. Kato boots him out of the corner then hits him from behind. Crush tilt-a-whirl backbreakers him. Kato lariats him and Crush gorilla press slams him. Crush atomic drops him then lariats him. Crush then does the headsqueeze and submits him.

Thoughts: Kato got a couple shots in at least before being put down here. Crush won as expected in a short one. 

The Mountie vs Ken Wayne

Mountie asks if everyone knows who he is before it starts.

Mountie boots Ken then flying back elbows him. Mountie bangs Ken's head off the buckles. Mountie hits a nice back body drop. Mountie then hits a nasty piledriver. Mountie then pins Ken with his foot on his throat.

Thoughts: Mountie whooped ol' Nightmare Ken Wayne here. Ken really made Mountie's piledriver look lethal. Vince and Perfect argued all throughout this one about Perfect and Flair's future plans. Perfect keeps saying he has a "Plan B" as he said on Summerslam with Heenan and Flair.

Vince and Perfect talk. Perfect says we are going to a guy who he thinks is going to the top - Razor Ramon.

Razor Ramon does a promo. He says Macho Man may be champ but there is only one man who is oozing machismo and it's Razor Ramon.

Virgil vs Barry Horowitz

Virg offers a handshake and Barry pats his own back. Barry and Virg trade wristlocks. Barry shoulders him over then Virg hiptosses and lariats him. Virg dropkicks him. Virg then plancha's him outside and pounds on him. Virg legdrops Barry's arm.

Barry armdrags him and Virg rolls through to armdrag him. Barry is thrown into the corner then Virg lariats him. Barry punches Virg in the gut then is chopped. Virg goes up and over then russian legsweeps him for the win.

Thoughts: They cut away on the pin here which was interesting. Virg's up and over into the russian legsweep was nice. There was more Perfect and Vince arguing here.

Money Inc. (Ted Dibiase and IRS) vs Bert Stiles and Warren Quinn

IRS says it's true that the people may cheat on their taxes but he says when they cheat, they will get caught and pay.

IRS bangs one of the jobber's heads off the buckles and hits a back elbow. One of the jobbers takes a double back elbow. Vince asks Perfect about what him, Flair and Heenan are up to for the 3rd match in a row.

Ted elbows the other jobber in the neck and hits a back body drop. Ted hits suplex then the jobber takes a double clothesline. IRS suplexes the jobber then does an abdominal stretch with Ted helping to pull his arm. Ted holds the jobber and IRS hits a punch off the buckles. IRS flying lariats the jobber. Ted then puts the jobber to sleep with the million dollar dream.

Thoughts: They never really named the jobbers here. Vince and Perfect argued the whole time about Perfect's "Plan B" and totally took away from the match.

WWF Event Center

Sean Mooney hypes up the 10/3/92 Boston Garden show.

The Berzerker and Mr. Fuji do a promo on Crush. Berz says Crush likes to crush things so he will slam him on the cement and crush his back. He says we will see if he can get up. He says if he does, he's going to use his sword on him.

Hacksaw Jim Duggan does a promo on The Repo Man. He says some guys in the WWF will stand up to you and tell you what they think. He says some others sneak around and wear masks. He says he knows about Repo tying up people with his tow rope. He says if he grabs it, he's gonna take his 2x4 and beat him up. Jim then sticks his tongue out at him.

Vince and Perfect then hype up next week's show to close the show. Perfect says "Plan B" is in effect and he will give the story on Ric Flair next week.

Overall thoughts: There was nothing of value here in this one. We saw a decent amount of highlights of the Summerslam main. Other than that, Vince and Perfect argued almost all show long about Perfect's "Plan B" and totally disregarded the matches. The only other new update was Razor Ramon seemingly announcing his intent to go after Macho Man. I wouldn't recommend this one and thought it was all filler - likely because it was since this was taped before Summerslam and they couldn't give away much.

WWE Evolve 1/21/2026

WWE Evolve 1/21/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/01/wwe-evolve-1142025.html

We are the Performance Center in Orlando, FL. Peter Rosenberg and Robert Stone are on commentary.

We see Karmen Petrovic arrive earlier in the day. She says 2026 has been a crazy year so far. She says she's focused on the women's division. She says she will handle Kali Armstrong tonight and says she's been coasting on being the first champ. She says she will make sure the difference is made, but not by her.

Wendy Choo comes out to talk. She says it's a new year and a new her. She says she has 3 resolutions this year - to be unbothered, unfiltered and unapologetic. She says it's been a year and she hasn't had a title shot. She says she's calling out Kendal Grey, who opened up pandora's box.

Chuey Martinez and Kendal Grey come out. Chuey says Grey is supposed to take a week off after last week's defense. KG says she wants to fight now. A ref comes out and says it's official.

WWE Evolve Women's Title - Kendal Grey (c) vs Wendy Choo

They lock up and KG waistlock takedowns her. KG rolling armbars her and Choo goes for the pin. Choo tries a dirtnap and KG turns it into a pin attempt. Choo corner forearms and running facekicks her in the corner. Choo running dropkicks her. KG dropkicks her.
Choo cannonballs her off the apron outside. 

We go to break and return. KG is booted while in tree of woe. Choo corner dropkicks her for 2. KG cradles her and Choo reverses it. KG rolls her up for 2 then they trade more pin attempts. They boot each other at the same time then double clothesline each other. 

They trade forearms. Choo chops her and KG germans her. KG pulls the straps down and trips her. KG slingshot double stomps her for 2. Choo facekicks her then swinging neckbreakers her for 2. Choo does the dirtnap but KG rolls her off. KG rolling armbars her. 

Choo gets a 2 count on her and is superkicked. Choo superplexes her and hold on for a brainbuster for 2. Choo chops her then KG flatliners her for the win.

Thoughts: I liked this. The two matched up well and Choo was hustling. KG was her usual energetic self. This was a good opener and was one of Choo's better matches. Choo has put on some weight.

Kali Armstrong talks in the back. She tells Grey to do her thing as champ as their paths will cross again. She says Karmen keeps asking how she gets opportunities. Kali says she sees Karmen do nothing but run her mouth. She says she ran through her once and will do it again. She says she's all gas and no breaks until she gets her title back.

We see some store with odd statues. Nikkita Lyons and Arianna Grace walk into this dark place and look confused. Grace says they got an offer for a free psychic reading her. The psychic says she's been waiting for them. The psychic grabs both of their hands and freaks out. She says there is much darkness in their lives. She pulls up a conflict card, a suffering card and a destruction card. The lights flicker, the girls scream and they psychic says they must change their ways. They then run.

Thoughts: Uh, well this was a lot different than what we usually get. It was over the top but I can buy the idea of them going to a psychic and being told to change thier ways.

They talk about Keanu, Eli, Legacy and The Vanity Project being promoted to NXT. They say they will still be on Evolve though. 

Marcus Mathers vs Braxton Cole

The WWE ID crew and the WWE PC crew are watching this in the back.

MM hits punches on Cole. MM dropkicks him twice. Cole throws him in the corner. MM back elbows him. Cole running neckbreakers him. Cole hits downward elbows. Cole lariats him for 2. Cole euros him over. MM is stunnered over the top rope. Cole neckbreakers him for 2. Cole cranks the head and euros him over. 

MM blocks a neckbreaker by holding onto the ropes. Cole misses a corner splash. MM double jump crossbodies him. MM hits chops and forearms. MM flying lariats him. MM springboard stunners him then germans him for 2.

MM forearms him. Cole release suplexes him for 2. MM boots him then hook kicks him. Cam Hendrix comes out and distracts MM up top. MM misses a top rope double stomp. MM goes after Cam and Cole rolls up MM to win.

Thoughts: It got a enough time to play out here. This was the longest match we've gotten to see Cole do so far and he did fine. This was acceptable.

Cam clips MM after. Cole hits a reverse AA on MM. The WWE ID prospects try to help but are locked in the locker room. Cam pillmanizes MM's ankle with a chair. 

Brooks Jensen and the WWE ID crew are pleased. Keanu asks what Brooks has going on. Riggins says Keanu isn't a people person guy but he's a killer. Brooks says they have control of next week's Evolve show. He says they are looking for people to inflict pain on the ID clowns. He says he wants to inflict pain on Cappuccino Jones. He says he will win the match and knock his head off his shoulders. He asks Keanu what he thinks and Keanu says he can ride with that. Jax says they can make that happen and more. Harley says they got some things cooking and more.

Harlem Lewis says he only cares about Jackson Drake being here next week. He says WWE ID and WWE PC can fight for control but he will fight for gold. He says Harlem Lewis is the next Evolve champ. 

Kali Armstrong vs Karmen Petrovic

Kali trips her and KP get up and stares at her. Kali throws her off the waistlock then throws her down backwards. KP hits kicks on her. KP crucifixes her for 2 and bodyscissors her. Tyra Mae Steele is in the VIP Lounge and she has a new haircut. We are told Tyra is going to stay in Evolve.

KP tries a pin on Kali and Kali back elbows her. KP kicks her out of the corner then tilt-a-whirl bodypresses her. KP armlocks her. Kali sends herself out to the floor then KP topes her outside. We go to break and return. Kali hits corner spears on KP then does a hard running corner spear. Kali running facekicks her in the corner.

KP kicks her off the buckles. Kali misses a corner splash. KP hits flying ofrearms then hits a soul foot on her. KP sliding kicks her against the ropes. KP high kicks her then slingblades her for 2. KP backrolls her for 2. Kali powerslams her. Kali run the ropes but KP avoids her. Kali goes into the ropes. KP hits two low corkscrew kicks and pins her.

Thoughts: This was an upset. It was a solid bout though and one of Karmen's better showing's. I didn't like the spot where Kali went out though as she just launched herself outside for no real reason. I liked this. I feel like Kali must have heat on her for some reason though. She went from making NXT appearances to losing to everyone on this show.

KP says that was her biggest win yet. She says she's the #1 contender to the Women's Evolve title and says she's got next.

Kendal Grey comes out. KG says they can do it next week and says anytime, anyplace. 

We go to Team WWE PC in the back. They say they run things next week and that match is not happening. Cole says they run things. Keanu says it'll be a nightmare for WWE ID next week. Cam tells them to take care of Jackson Drake next week and he will become champ the week after. 

Overall thoughts: The wrestling was good here. We had 3 matches only. The 2 women's matches were both good and impressive. Those couldn't have gone much better than they did. Mathers/Cole was an acceptable bout and I think Cole will be just be fine, though he doesn't seem super spectacular. This show was all about pushing Kendal Grey and the WWE ID vs WWE PC war. It was definitely a bit of a different show than usual with a visit to the psychic shop and a lot of people missing. I do feel like the bookers are getting more comfortable with the show though and things are flowing a lot more smoother than before. I'm not dying to do 4 hours of wrestling on Wednesday's, but this show is probably going to have 2 hours in the future so they can get more than 3 matches in. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 as it was a fun show.

AEW Dynamite 1/21/2026

AEW Dynamite 1/21/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/01/aew-dynamite-1142026-maximum-carnage.html

We are in Orlando, FL. Excalibur, Tony Schiavone and Taz are on commentary.

Tony Schiavone interviews MJF in the ring. He brags about himself.  He talks about his title belt and says it costs more than the fans had in their bank accounts. He says he's the world champ. He says it's the year of the devil and nobody is on his level. Brody King comes down and gets on the mic. King says all he can think of is the various ways he wants to hurt him. He says nothing else would give him more joy than ripping out his spine. He says we all know MJF is just a b!tch.

King says he wants a match with him tonight. MJF says no. MJF says King is all bark and no bite. He says King has only beaten tomato can's and jobbers.

Thoughts: Mike won as expected here. It went a lot longer than I thought the match was fine but there was a lot of interference that got a little annoying. These two matched up pretty well and hit each other hard.  

Street Fight - The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta and Daniel Garcia) vs The Don Callis Family (Rocky Romero, Hechicero and Lance Archer)

Don Callis is on commentary. Lance and Mox fight in the aisle. Yuta hits punches on Hech on the ramp. DG stomps a trash can into Hech's leg, DG ankle locks Hech on the ramp. Hech seemingly taps out but the ref ignores it (the announcers stupidly bring this up and you can see Taz looking confused). Rocky hits Yuta with a trash can lid then hits DG with it too.

Mox hits mounted corner punches on Lance. Lance takes corner attacks. Lance is held for a dropkick then double clotheslined over the top. Lance chokeslams Yuta through a table. We go to PiP break and return.

MS low blows Hech. Mox bulldog chokes RR in the ring. DG piledrivers RR. DG sharpshooters RR. Mox curbstomps RR while he's in it and the ref says RR is out. The Death Riders win.

Thoughts: It was an okay brawl here. Nothing too memorable and Mox  only got some blood on his back from the glass with no one else bleeding. Mox going into the barbed wire glass was the big moment of this one. The Death Riders won but the victor didn't matter that much here.

Mox gets in Don Callis' face at commentary and says  to tell his boy where to find him. 

Thekla's crew does a promo. Thek says they give title shots to everyone but Kris Statlander gets mad when she pins her. She says she will give her one week to enjoy her life and prepapre her friends and family. She says she wants her title shot next week. Hart says Willow is the TBS champ and they never had their rematch so she wants it on Collision. Thek then spits in the camera and says to drown in the taste of toxic.

Thoughts: The faces were a little sloppy here. They flipped and flew around as expected. It was alright but I don't love debuting teams with losses and that's what they did here.

Kris, Willow and Harley do a promo. Kris says Thekla doesn't know who she is. She says her mind is greater than Thek thinks. She says if anyone wants an eliminator match on Collision, she will show what she is about. Willow agrees to Hart's rematch idea and says she can't wait to powerbomb her again. Harley says she will also be there. She says don't think they forgot about Skye and she says they will punch her in the face if she gets involved.

Thoughts: I didn't like it. Josh took a dragon suplex on the exposed floor and wrestled for another 10 minutes without an issue. That should have taken him out yet it meant nothing here. I also didn't like the nonsense with the "match not starting" despite them being out there and fighting.

Omega says Don Callis struck while he wasn't at 100%. He says he hasn't felt this good in years. He says Don doesn't have one member that can beat him at where he's at now. 

Taz does a breakdown of MJF's armbar and crossface on Bandido. Taz did one or two these a long time ago, stopped, then revived it here.

Thoughts: It was a good tag here. Mina was definitely rocked from being thrown to the floor and Shafir was late on her run-in at the end but the actual work was good. I thought the girls hustled and Toni tried hard.

SS hits a kudo driver on him. SS hits a JML driver on him and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a bit of a longer bout. I liked KK copying some of Swerve's stuff and trying to show him up with SS eventually putting him down. I would have cut some of the stuff out like the death valley driver on the apron. I thought it was an okay bout overall though. 

Overall thoughts: They went until 10:12PM here which I didn't appreciate. It was a very wrestling heavy show with only the opening segment not being wrestling focused. I didn't like Kenny/Josh but I thought the rest of the matches were fine. I would say the main was the best match of the night here. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 as they had a lot of good wrestling but not much else. This was an okay show but it was a little long.

Thoughts: It was a total destruction of Tomas here. Bill did almost all strikes here. TM wasn't a bad face and took some big bumps out to the seemingly exposed floor. Bill also hammed it up quite a bit here. It could have been a little shorter but wasn't bad.

Thoughts: Man was this a fight and a total brawl. These two eye raked each other, hit each other in the throat and just pounded on each other. Some of the strikes weren't the best but they really did a good job of making this look like a drunken back alley fight. Tony was fantastic here. He took big bumps, he begged off and cheated the whole way through. When they talk about wrestling for the people high up in the stands, Tony knew how to do it. There was more spirit in this than virtually anything else today. Add in a hot crowd and a good announcer and this was a lot of fun. They didn't do a lot, but they got as much out of it as possible.

Bob bangs AA's face off his knee several times. They criss-cross and AA hits a hard crossbody. AA pins him.

Thoughts: It was a little long but it was a good technical match. Apollo did some great technical wrestling here and was moving around well. I liked the story of Bob getting outmatched and having to resort to dirty tactics to try and win this before going down.

AA chops him after and Bob fires back. They trade shots.

Owl drops him with chest clubs, chops him down and tries to pin him but the match is over. 

Thoughts: Steve was definitely the old school bleached blonde heel type here. He had some good and bad punches but you could see the cockiness and maliciousness in what he did. Owl showed a little more fire than Big Heart did earlier. This went to a draw, so we didn't really get to see how this would play out. I felt like they were about 60% of the way through when this got cut off and it's a shame because I wanted to see Owl's comeback. It was just so-so.

Ray Morgan closes the show and talks to a fan in the crowd. The fan says he won't miss the next show and Ray sends us off. 

Overall thoughts: I thought it was a good show, or at least what we saw of it was a good show. We had 4 matches. The opener was one sided but Marin wasn't a bad face and Watts was heelish in how he dealt with him. Newberry/Big Heart was a good back alley fight. Newberry sold and bumped big and they got rough with each other. I really enjoyed that bout. Apollo/Boyer was a good bout as well. Apollo showed some great technical wrestling skills which frustrated Bob. Bob then started heeling it up to even things up. The main only got 6 minutes and was cut off earlier so we don't know how it would have played out. Stanlee was a typical cocky heel here and did a lot of clubbing and eye rakes. White Owl looked a little better than Big Heart but we didn't get to see an ending here. The crowd was great for most of this and Ray Morgan was a very good car salesman type of announcer. This was almost all wrestling as well. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 as I really enjoyed 2 of the 4 matches here.

Thoughts: What we got of this wasn't bad and it's shame we had a goofy ending here. It's hard to figure out Big's size but he moves well for a heavier guy. 

The Order come out for an interview. Eli Knox gets mad at the interviewer saying he won last week due to questionable circumstances. He says it's a good day to be in The Order as they have the champ Dorian Vane, the tag champs and him as the Apex champ. Eli says he defended his title fair and square.

Thoughts: I don't like intergender wrestling but they did a good job with this. Diana was likeable and hit some good looking shots. Eli was a total jerk and made you want to see him lose, then he won via cheating. I liked this and was entertained by him. 

Makkari Kandy tries to shake hands with Raven Black in the back. She says she won't shake her hand. Kandy hits her hat and the girl spits. Kandy says she doesn't have time for this as she has a title match.

Thoughts: This was a good bout. I liked the story of Marko and GP hating each other and not being able to work together. Everyone was moving so fast here and I was rather impressed with the athleticism on display here. These guys also took some big bumps over the top. 

Overall thoughts: This was a good show. It was easy to get through and had some highlights here with a rare entertaining intergender bout and a good main event with a lot of athleticism. They did a nice job building up some stuff for future shows and I feel like you could basically go into this without knowing anyone and still be able to enjoy it. I'd give this an easy 6 out of 10 and thought it was fun.
