Thoughts: It's a lightning match so they only had 10 minutes. They didn't use their time wisely here and spent too long on basic stuff, leaving them little time for the exciting stuff at the end. It wasn't that good.

Thoughts: The 3rd fall didn't really get enough time for what they were doing. I was surprised to see Rey Espartano's team win. This was anything too special. Rex and Prom didn't get to do a lot but basic strikes and the faces didn't really get to show off all that much. I didn't expect greatness and we didn't get it here.

DG top rope crossbodies Pol. DG walks up the buckles and top rope moonsaults Pol. DG picks up the pin. Brillante's team wins the fall and match.

Thoughts: Dulce got the most offense in here for his team and I'm not sure that was the right call. The heels mostly just got various stomps in. There wasn't anything too impressive about this one. Polvora's new crew loses yet again...

Thoughts: I liked it. It felt like a real fight. They got rought with each other and beat each other up here with simple stomps and hair pulls. There was some nice aggression shown and it was a fun bout.

Thoughts: It was nothing special and a little below average. The faces didn't fly that much and the heels got most of the offense in here. The heels stalled a bunch and this got a lot more time than it needed to get.

Neon and MD pick up stereo pins on Gran and Stuka. Atlantis' team wins the fall and match.

Thoughts: It was an acceptable bout. The heels got their offense in. The faces made their comeback in the 2nd fall and got most of the offense in during the 3rd fall. They put out an okay effort for this one.

The announcer closes the show.

Overall thoughts: The first match wasn't that good and they didn't use their time well. The second match didn't look like a classic on paper and it wasn't. The 3rd match with Dulce Gardenia was kind of a waste and was built around Dulce's comedy as usual. Keyra/Garra was easily the best match of the night. They were rough with each other and made it look like a real fight. The semi-main was below average with stall and not much flying from the faces. The main was okay but nothing too great. I'd give it a 4 out of 10. They could have done better here and only the girls really gave it their best here.

IWA Puerto Rico Impacto Total 4/11/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/05/iwa-puerto-rico-impacto-total-442026.html

Raul Magnum and El Wizard are on commentary.

We see clips of Ricky Banderas' video last week after El Dragon Nihan's match.

Edrax Torres vs Gladiador Boricua

Raul Magnum says GB is repping the country's colors and Wizard says he's not from here.

ET backs him up in the corner twice. BG waistlocks him and side headlock takeovers him. ET shoulders him over. BG hiptosses and armdrags him. BG dropkicks him out. BG hits him from behind outside. ET hits some shots on him and ET gets sent into the post. ET lariats him.

ET slams him then legdrops him for 2. ET chokes him over the 2nd rope. ET boots him in the head and BG starts to hulk up. BG hits punches then ET clubs him down. ET slaps him around. BG backcrackers him. BG hits forearms then running elbows him a few times.

BG knees him in the face for 2. BG punches him down then legdrops him for 2. ET alabama slams him then dropkicks him for 2. BG rolls him up for 2 twice. ET pushes BG into the ref then kicks him in the crotch. ET piledrivers him and pins him.

Thoughts: I think this is Boricua's debut but I'm not sure. He's definitely an established wrestler in a mask and I wouldn't be shocked if it's Pupe Jackson. He does very basic and simple 80's face offense and he's not very athletic or anything, but he can have a basic match just fine. Edrax didn't really excite a lot here. It was average and this isn't a good way to show off a newer character.

El Wizard interviews Edrax Torres and Mascara Pura, who is back in his normal gear (and appears to be the original Mascara Pura). Wizard says it pleases him that there will be a tag title rematch. Edrax agrees. He says Nolan and Ice stole the tag title from them. Edrax says this is just the beginning and says to get ready as they are coming back for the titles.

IWA World Title - Special Ref is Savio Vega - "El Anarquista" Manu (c) vs Niche

Manu hits Niche from behind while Vega checks him for weapons. Manu clubs on Niche and punches him down. Manu hits forearms. Niche flips off the 2nd rope then dropkicks him. Niche armdrags and hiptosses him. Niche's head is banged off the apron. Niche chops him outside and Manu facekicks him hard. Niche is sent into the post.

Niche and Manu trade shots. Vega stops Niche from throwing a punch and Manu germans Niche hard. Vega then tries to fast count on the pin. Manu boots Niche then suplexes him for 2. Niche hits punches. Manu facekicks him down.

Niche is sent hard into the buckles and goes down. Manu splashes Niche's back for 1. Manu punches Niche. They trade shots and Niche gets the edge. Manu uranage's him. Manu chinlocks him. Niche hits elbows to the gut and stunners him. Manu runs the ropes, ducks a Vega clothesline then lariats Manu hard.

Niche hits punches on Manu. Niche back body drops him then springboard spinning heel kicks him. Vega slow counts to 2. Niche shoves Vega and they argue. Manu blue thunders Niche for a fast count 2.

Niche running corner chops Manu. Manu flying corner forearms him twice. Manu running forearms him down. Manu backdrops him for 2. Manu misses a flying corner forearm. Niche buckshot lariats him hard. Niche bottom, middle and top rope moonsaults Manu. Vega refuses to count. Another ref comes out and starts counting then Vega kicks the other ref.

Vega then slaps the other ref and boots him out of the ring. Manu's head is banged off the buckles. Niche superplexes him then holds on for another suplex. Vega refuses to count again. Another ref comes down and Vega kicks him. Vega then boots that ref out.

Niche shoves Vega and argues with him. Niche suplex lift cutters Manu. Another ref comes down and argues with Vega. Vega drops that ref with a shot. Vega boots that ref out. Niche points at Vega. Vega facekicks Niche. Manu pop-up powerbombs Niche and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a total screwjob and it was designed to be complete BS. We just saw a similar Vega as ref match on 3/14, so this wasn't even fresh. I kept waiting for Tonos to come down and do something but it didn't happen. The wrestlers made the best of the situation and would have had a good match without all the nonsense but we didn't get that here. I know all of this will go somewhere, but it wasn't fun to watch.

We see clips of Super Atomo beating Pedro Portillo for the title.

El Wizard Analiza

Pedro Portillo III is interviewed. He says to look at the red bruises on his chest. He's upset after losing his title. He says a blind person can't see yet cost him the title. He mocks Super Atomo being champ and rips Luis Perez for being blind. He says he wanted to be a wrestler but couldn't because he's blind. He says he's not making fun of him, but is just talking about reality. He says Perez made him lose his title. Pedro says he's a better athlete than him and says Perez can't see him but can feel him. He says he doesn't know what Perez will do now. He says the big difference between them apart from him being blind is that he's resentful. He says when he gets angry with someone, they have to live under rocks. He says Perez won't see him but he's going to feel him.

Wizard says Perez is going to have to face Pedro.

Thoughts: It was a good and brutal promo from Pedro. Poor Luis is going to pay for what he did and I'm very interested to see how this plays out. IWA won't have the guts to do some kind of blindfold judo jacket match, will they?

El Dragon Nihan says he wants El Mesias to come. He says not to hide behind wisdom and see if he can kill this dragon.

Overall thoughts: We had 2 matches here and a good promo from Pedro Portillo III. Edrax/Boricua was very simple and not that good. Manu/Niche would have been good without all the shenanigans, but it was filled with shenanigans as Savio Vega refused to count any Niche pins. It made sense, but what makes sense isn't always good. I'd give it a 4 out of 10 as it was a slower episode and not one of my favorites. It was a little below average.

IWA Puerto Rico Impacto Total 4/4/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/05/iwa-puerto-rico-impacto-total-3282026.html

Next week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/05/iwa-puerto-rico-impacto-total-4112026.html

Niche is warming up in the back. Barbie Boy talks to him. Niche has a Batman shirt on and Barbie says they should be Batman and Robin. Niche tells him to go find Pupe Jackson as he needs help.

IWA World Title - Title vs Mask - Pedro Portillo III (c) vs Super Atomo

Atomo greets Luis Perez, the blind paralympian who is part of this angle. Atomo's mask is on the line here vs Pedro's IWA Title.

Atomo nearly gets hit as he enters and knocks down PP a few times. Atomo chases him around. PP stomps him in the ring and PP back elbows him. PP lariats Atomo then suplexes him for 2. PP cubs him and goes out to mess with Luis Perez. He bangs his walking stick off the ground.

PP chops Atomo and Atomo chops back. Atomo hits chops. Atomo walks up the ropes and diving headscissors him down. Atomo hits a hard tope on PP. Atomo then hits a 2nd one. Atomo chops and punches him outside. Atomo then chops him in the front row.

Atomo hits mounted corner punches in the ring. PP drops him face first on the top buckle. PP throws him out. PP hits Atomo with a beer. PP is sent into the post. PP tears up a photo of Atomo then suplexes him on the floor. PP elbows him in the chest.

Fernando Tonos is waiting for Pupe Jackson to finish his drug test in the bathroom. They leave. A masked guy opens up the bathroom stall door and Barbie Boy is inside. Barbie tells the masked guy to be quiet. Barbie Boy then zips his zipper up and the masked guy shakes his head.

We return to the bout. PP double chops Atomo. Atomo hits some chops. They each hit corner lariats. Atomo boots him out of the corner and 2nd rope blockbusters him. Atomo hits punches. Atomo flying headscissors him then corkscrew kicks him.

Atomo top rope crossbodies him. Atomo dropkicks him in the knee then 619's him. Atomo rolls into a cutter on him. Johnny Blaze gets on the apron. Atomo knocks him off. PP germans Atomo then twisting double underhook drops him. PP grabs Luis Perez's cane. Luis holds onto it and they get in the ring. Luis hip throws PP.

Atomo hits PP with the can then la magistral's him but the ref is busy with Blaze. The ref runs back in and counts the pin. Atomo pins Pedro!

Thoughts: The ending was pretty cool. Pedro tried to grab Luis' walking cane. Luis held on and did a judo hip throw on him leading up to Atomo's pin on Pedro. The match was fine but it didn't quite get to the epic I hoped for.

Luis holds up Atomo in the air after and Pedro is shocked at what just happened. Luis and Atomo hug.

El Wizard Analiza

Wizard talks to Matty Ice and Nic Nolan. Ice tells him he knows he's talking trash to him through translations (Wizard did an interview with them where he pretended to translate what they were saying and made them look foolish). Ice says his family told Wizard what he was saying. He tells Wizard not to say anything a all and says they will talk for him. Nolan says they took the titles from Pura and Edrax and will keep them from them. He says they will give them a rematch though as they will beat them again and again. He says they will beat them and anyone else as they are IWA Tag champs. Ice then chops Wizard. They leave and Wizard threatens them but is sore from Ice's chops.

We see clips of El Dragon Nihan vs Reeves Portman. Vega got some cheap shots in and Nihan won with a powerbomb. Nihan and Vega beat up Reeves with a bat after. Fernando Tonos came in the ring. Vega kicked him in the gut. Nihan calls out Ricky Banderas he teases powerbombing Tonos.

Ricky Bandeas does a promo on the tron. He says on 6/6, he's coming for Nihan and Vega. He promises to tip their heads off and say they both be consumed in eternal fire.

Nihan says it doesn't matter how many nicknames Ricky has had or where he's been. He says he's going to end up in the mouth of the dragon.

Overall thoughts: We only had one new match here and some highlights of another. The one match we got was the World Title match though and it was fine with a nice ending. We also got the post match angle from El Dragon Nihan's match and some fun with Pupe Jackson and Wizard. The finish to the World Title match was pretty cool but there was nothing must see here. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 as there was some fun stuff here. The show was fine as a whole.

We go to break. Jose Navarro does a promo. He says it's judgment night for Pupe. He says Pupe will have to battle Tonos and the board over his drug test first. He says they are aware of the substances he likes to consume. He says you have to be 100% clean to face him and have the mindset of an athlete. He say if he test negative, he's ready to face him. He says he changed his lifestyle, is eating well and training well. He says he's 100% sober and his mind is clear.

He says Pupe now has the problem and says he beat him up and bathed him in his blood. Well says he will show him that he's the next mega star of the IWA and says beating Pupe and kicking him out is the first step. He says he will be the executioner and is the SOB who broke his face. He tells Pupe to put his family in the front row so they can see how he beats him up.

He says he will honor the memory of his mom tonight. he says he will brawl, rips his head off and sweep the court with Jose's hair.He says there's nowhere to turn tonight and says he will eat his heart.

Jose Navarro seemingly comes out but we can't see that at first. Pupe and the ref get distracted. ET low blows Pupe for 2.

Pupe michinoku drivers Jose. Pupe top rope elbow drops Jose and pins him.

Thoughts: It was simple match with ET cheating and getting heat then Pupe making his comeback and winning. It was fine, just pretty standard.

Super Atomo is interviewed. He says the day has arrived and he's ready. He says he has the fight of his life vs Pedro Portillo in the mask vs title match. He says he's not afraid to put his mask on the line. He says the fans are sick of Pedro's nonsense and cheating. He says Pedro can't beat him fair and square. He says Pedro disrespected Atomo Sr and Luis Perez. He says that makes Pedro a coward. He says he will do the impossible and take the title tonight even if it's the last thing he does. He tells the fans to get dressed as he needs all the support possible tonight.

Labrava Escobar and Salazar de la Muerte do a promo. LE says she knows who wears the pants in the family and says Deimos doesn't talk. Salazar says they know how to get controversial. He says Teal and Deimos want to go to conventions after this is over and sign autographs like she's Roddy Piper.

Super Atomo vs Mascara Pura

Atomo wristlocks him and is put in a side headlock. Pura front facelocks him and chinlocks him. Pura flying single leg dropkicks him. Atomo backrolls into a spinning reverse headscissors and dropkicks him.

He says he asks for Vega to do his job as special ref and count the 1-2-3. He says he and Manu have given their all for Puerto Rico. He says Manu got help when he beat him. He says Pedro Portillo had to save him in the past and says his back still hurts from Manu's camel clutch. Niche says he will reclaim the IWA Title and return it to his shoulders where it belongs. He tells Savio to do his job well as he doesn't intend to leave empty handed.

Atomo chops him. Atomo hits mounted corner punches. Pura hits him in the crotch. Pura fireman's carry gutbusters him for 2. Atomo codebreakers him and pins him. Atomo also removes the mask on the pin.

Thoughts: It was acceptable. Pura just did the basics here before losing as expected. There was no way Atomo was losing here with a title match coming up and with how hard he has been pushed lately.

Overall thoughts: We had 2 new matches here and maybe 2 new promos. Both matches were acceptable but they were standard and not anyone's best work. Besides all that, it was all hype for tonight's live event. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as it was acceptable but nothing great.

IWA Puerto Rico Impacto Total 3/21/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/05/iwa-puerto-rico-impacto-total-3142026.html

Next week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/05/iwa-puerto-rico-impacto-total-3282026.html

The next big show is on 3/28 and it's called Juicio Final. It has:

IWA World Title - Special Ref is Savio Vega - Manu (c) vs Niche

IWA Puerto Rican Title - Hair vs Mask - Pedro Portillo (c) vs Super Atomo

El Dragon Nihan vs Reeves Portman

Jose "El Mencho" Navarro vs Pupe Jackson

Deimos and Teal Piper vs Labrava Escobar and Salazar de la Muerte

IWA Women's Tag Titles - Vanilla Vargas and Roxxy (c) vs Attliah and Bitterness

----

IWA Women's Title - Daisy Lyn (c) vs Vanilla Vargas

They shove each other and VV slaps her. DL slaps back and they trade forearms. They trade pin attempts and waistlocks. DL ddt's her. DL bangs her head off the buckles and chops her. VV chops her and has her eyes raked. VV superkicks her off an up and over then monkey flips her. VV corner cannonballs her then stink faces her. VV corner meteora's her for 2. We go to break.

Jose Navarro does a promo. He says he didn't expect Pupe Jackson to show up last time after he bathed him in his blood. He says the beating was supposed to keep him out of wrestling and the IWA. He says he got tired of him and got tired of carrying him. He says The Drunken Express had no clear directions or opportunities for growth. He says the fans saw them as clowns in a circus and wanted them to do tributes to other wrestlers because they were failures.

Jose says a promoter once told them that he was paying them because they were so good at doing tributes and making people laugh. He says it made him feel like a loser. He says enough is enough. He says he got into wrestling to be a champ and star and got carried away without knowing his potential was being limited. He says he was put with the biggest freak drunk in lucha with Pupe Jackson. He says he will finish him off. He says there's no more story and nothing left. He says he doesn't want his family associating with trash like him. He says he will be the most respected wrestler in lucha soon without Pupe.

Manu does a promo. He says when we walk about the IWA Title, we talk about great moments and champs and people who were strong enough to maintain the company. He says we haven't had a determined, passionat and dedicated champ lately to carry the commitment. He says he respects niche and says they have made history and battled all over PR today. He says this Manu is a different Manu. He says he guarantees that Niche will go down and he says he will finish him.

We return to the match. DL chops VV. DL flatliners her into the 2nd buckle then meteora's her from behind. DL twisting drops her for 2. VV gets a 2 count on her. They high kick each other at the same time and both go down. They each hit running corner attacks. DL superkicks her in the face. DL 2nd rope crossbodies her for 2.

DL is tripped into the buckles and VV corner dropkicks her from behind. VV 2nd rope dropkicks her. VV misses a corner charge. VV hits knees to the gut and grabs Daisy's glove (I'm guessing it's loaded). VV argues with the ref. DL codebreakers her and pins her.

Thoughts: It started off well but just kind of became average when the 2nd half didn't keep up. I think Daisy may have had a loaded glove here and Vargas tried to use it but didn't get a chance to do so.

Pedro Portillo III does a promo. He says one of the things that excites him is wrestling is Super Atomo crying to Tonos. He says he thought the person that lost a match didn't get a rematch but Atomo got one. He says he knows how to play the game and says he'll put his title on the line if Atomo puts his mask on the line. He tells Atomo to bring Luis the paralympian with him. He says all he cares about is leaving with the PR Title and the mask of Super Atomo.

Super Atomo does a promo. He says he'll have the shot of a lifetime at Juicio Final against Portillo. He says he's not afraid to put his mask on the line and says he's tired of all the stuff he has done. He says he's tired of the disrespect to Atomo Sr also. He says he can beat him clean and will prove it. He says he disrespected Luis Perez too (the paralympian). He says Luis will be in his corner at Juicio Final. He says he's training hard because he's destined to win the title. He says he will defend Atomo's legacy.

Jose Navaro talks to Fernando Tonos. He says he's not afraid of Pupe Jackson but he's worried about how he looked when he arrived. He says Pupe looked pale and he's worried he will come back using drugs and alcohol. He says if he gets injured, he will have to sue IWA PR. He says Tonos needs to give Pupe a drug test. Tonos says he will and will send it to the board for review.

Boricua Rumble for the La Copa Alcalde de Aguadilla

Xavier Millet and Niche start us off. XM hits forearms. Niche hits kicks and running back elbows him in the corner. Niche top rope diving lariats him. Johnny Blaze is next in. Blaze hits shots on Niche. Blaze hits lariats and a powerslam. Niche is double stomped on in the corner.

Super Atomo is next in. He superkicks XM in the gut and hits chops. Niche takes down Blaze and pounds him. He then does the same to XM. Mascara Pura is in with a different outfit and mask and I think he's a different person entirely. Atomo takes down Pura and they pound on each other.

Edrax Torres is next in. He helps Pura with Atomo and they double stomp Atomo together. Blaze bites Atomo in the corner. Jose "El Mecho" Navarro is next in. Jose hits everyone.

We go to break. Salazar de la Muerte Labrava Escobar say they will return to IWA for Juicio Final. They say Deimos and Teal Piper represent someone who isn't here. LaBrava says Piper won't be able to do the same things her father did. She says she's keepign the women's division in PR. Salazar says Deimose use to put fear in the hearts of people and asks what happened to that man. They say the challenge has been issued and tough luck to those who don't like it.

Deimos and Teal Piper do a promo. Teal asks if Labrava and Salazar could talk all that smack and get away with it. Teal says they heard the challenge and accept it. Teal says they heard they are some of the best PR has to offer. Teal says they are some of the best in the world. Teal says they will be getting rowdy at Juicio Final.

Vanilla Vargas finds worms in her bag in the back and screams.

We return from break and go back to the match. Atomo is double teamed in the corner. Pupe Jackson is next in. He points at Jose Navarro. Jose self-eliminates to escape. Pupe Jackson also self-eliminates to escape. Jose Navarro and Pupe Jackson are both eliminated.

Pura boots Niche in the corner. Niche throws Pura over the top. Mascara Pura is eliminated.

Super Atomo throws Edrax Torres out. Edrax Torres is eliminated.

Johnny Blaze throws Niche over the top. Niche is eliminated.

Atomo fights off Blaze and XM. XM runs at Atomo, Atomo back body drops him to the apron and ground. Xavier Miller is eliminated.

Johnny Blaze and Super Atomo go face to face. They trade punches. Blaze chops Atomo. Atomo flying headscissors him. Blaze gets Atomo on the apron and they fight. Blaze is pulled to the apron. They trade shots there. Atomo curbstomps him on the apron while he's down and Super Atomo wins.

Thoughts: Faces always win these things so it was just a matter of who. It was the usual battle royal and was nothing too special. Atomo makes sense as a winner. I was surprised to see Millet bump over the top. I am certain Mascara Pura was not the same person who usually plays that character.

El Dragon Nihan does a promo. He asks what Ricky Banderas has done in wrestling after 30 years. He says he has been booed, cheered and internationally recognized. He says now he wants to come finish his story here. He says his story won't have a happy ending. He asks if he thinks bringing in Reeves Portman will get him out of the way. He says fear is afraid of him. He says Ricky has to face him and he will provoke the arrival of El Mesias. He says El Mesias will be in the fire that destroys all.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches here. Both were average and neither were must see. We got a couple new matches and promos for Juicio Final and that's about it. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 and wouldn't recommend this one. This was average.

RR hits leg kicks. Nihan grabs him by the throat then RR rolls him up for 2. Nihan superkicks him. Nihan hits a big powerbomb and pins him.

Thoughts: It was just so-so. It was basically a squash here with Nihan putting him down relatively easy. They are in front of a casual crowd here and didn't quite get the reactions they should have gotten. I was surprised to see Rivas get destroyed. This could have been more exciting.

Luis Diaz, the blind paralympian, helps out Super Atomo after his match. Tonos says they can't allow what happened in the Atomo/Portillo match. He says he will order a title match between them at Juicio Final.

Pedro Portillo III, Manu and Savio Vega come out. Vega says Aguadilla is full of junkies and morons and says it starts with the mayor of Aguadilla. Pedro says to shut up as Vega is speaking. Vega says he's coming here to plant the flag. He says Fernandos Tonos is coming here with corruption and wants Manu to wrestle Jay Blake. Vega says Manu has the day off instead. He says Tonos also wants Pedro to face Niche. Vega says his men are real fighters and says Niche dresses up as a basketball player but doesn't even play marbles.

Niche comes out. He says the people are already asleep. He says these people came to see him challenge Manu for the title. Vega says let's do something important for this show. He says Niche will fight Manu and Portillo in a handicap match.

Fernando Tonos comes out. Tonos says to respect Aguadilla and it's citizens. Tonos says Vega always wants to make trouble. He says anyone could make a 2v1 match but says as IWA commissioner and a member of the board, he doesn't agree with that match. He says the abuse is over and says Niche won't fight solo tonight.

He then brings out Niche's partner and it's Pupe Jackson, who is hobbling. Vega says Pupe can't stand against Manu and Portillo. Vega says he will be the special ref for this match.

Special Ref - Savio Vega: Pedro Portillo III and Manu vs Niche and Pupe Jackson

The heels hit Pupe and his partner as Vega checks them for weapons. Pupe is thrown out onto the concrete and Manu chops him. PP side headlocks Niche. Pupe eye pokes and chops Manu. Niche shoulders PP over. PP climbs int othe front row. Niche stands on the rail and punches him. Pupe and Manu trade as Niche and PP go into the crowd to fight.

Pupe and Niche chop their opponents in the corner, dosey do and hit flying forearms. Niche crossbodies PP over the top rope. Manu spinebusters Pupe. The mayor of Aguadilla comes out and grabs Vega when he tries to hit Pupe. Vega gets distracted. Pupe low blows Manu and Niche does a fireman's carry codebreaker to Manu. Another ref comes in and counts the pin for Niche. Niche's team wins.

Thoughts: It was a basic tag. Pupe took a lot of bumps to the concrete which was surprisingly. The crowd was into this and the mayor coming out to stop the cheating was a fun little spot. It wasn't anything great but it was an alright house show style match. As expected, Vega was biased towards the heels.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 matches here. Nihan surprisingly near squashed Rivas. The main had a happy ending with the mayor of the town coming out to help the faces win. You could skip this and I'd say it was an average show. I'd give it a 5 out of 10.

Thoughts: It was a fast paced bout but entertaining. Joe was the favorite going in since he has appeared a few times and he won. I liked this and it was one of the better matches Eli has had.

Overall thoughts: There was one new match and one new interview as usual. The one new match was entertaining but nothing must see. I wouldn't recommend it, but you can get through all the new content quick.
