NWA Powerrr 2/3/2026

NWA Powerrr 2/3/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/01/nwa-powerrr-1272026.html

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

Kyle Davis interviews Silas Mason in the ring. He says a man should only wear a suit if he's going to a wedding, funeral or court. He says he came out here to admit to a crime - he murdered Matt Cardona. He says Matt got beat so bad that he left town and changed his name. He said Matt said he would rather die than use that name and he got his wish.

He says Thom Lattimer stabbed him in the back. He says there's consequences to his actions and he wants him to face him like the man he says he is. Thom Latimer comes out. SM says he did a lot of bad in his life and the worst thing he did was cross him. He says if he gets on his knees, apologizes and kisses his feet, he will make his suffering quick. He says he will put him in hell if he doesn't and will make it long and hard. SM tells him to kiss his feet.

Thom says how about if he kicks his @ss. Thom hits him and they fight. 

We get a video on Mims vs El Dragon Nihan. 

The Immortals do a promo. Kratos says when it comes to The Good Brothers, they are in the presence of greatness. He says they are one of the greatest tag teams to ever do it. He asks how it feels knowing their NWA legacy will be the ones that fell to The Immortals. Kratos says they aren't a gimmick, it's life and fact. Kratos says they stand here undefeated as they are immortal.

Mims vs El Dragon Nihan


Mims hits punches and Drag fires back. Mims hits corner spears and his head is banged off the buckles. Mims hits shots to the gut and corner splashes him twice. Drag boots him out of the corner. Drag back elbows him down.

Mims' head is banged off the buckles. Drag lariats him in the corner then short arm lariats him. Drag bites his head. Mims hits a corner spear and flying corner forearm. Mims hits knees to the gut. Mims ddt's him then kicks him. Drag headbutts him and misses a corner charge. Mims hits corner spears.

The ref tries to break it up and Mims pushes the ref down. Mims spears Drag. The Pope comes out. He stares down at Mims then hits Drag instead. Mims rolls up Drag and pins him.

Thoughts:
The finish made no sense whatsoever since Pope and Mims were feuding. The announcers said they didn't get it either. It was an average match otherwise that didn't get a ton of time.

Pope stares at Mims and like nods his head at him. 

Haley J and Rachel Ley do a promo. J says Vipress thinks she will stick her nose in her business. She says she has Rachel and Rachel has her back. She says she will found out that she's Haley J and she don't play.

The Cazana's do a promo. Joe says they have been US Tag champs before and will do it again. They tell The Slimez to remember who gave them the title match to begin with. Joe says it's time to pay the piper and defend against them because it's by the book. 

Sirena Veil and Vipress vs Haley J and Rachel Ley

This is Ley's NWA Debut. J has her dog with her. No entrance for SV and Vip.

J and Vip go at it. They pull each other's hair. Vip hits a big forearm on her. SV wristlocks Ley, Ley flips out, armdrags her and Japanese armdrags her. Ley does a step up enzugiri for 1.

Ley is sent out and J slaps Vip down. SV high kicks J then does a sitout bomb on her. Ley codebreakers SV. Ley goes up top and misses a moonsault when Vip pulls SV away. SV hits a sister abigail on Ley and wins.

Thoughts: It was a random one. We never got any follow up on Vipress interfering in J's match many weeks ago. Ley did okay in her NWA debut. She's a good looking gymnast and she should be brought back. This wasn't bad.

Vipress and J want to keep fighting after. 

The Holy Grail do a promo. EC says Cristiano Argento had a chance to be a Caesar a few weeks ago. He says he was supposed to be Julius Casesar but was another Ceasar. C-Lo says Argento failed the brand and The Holy Grail. He says he must deal with the consequences.

We go to Dr. Vik's Abode. Vik is on the phone and is looking for help. He says he has something he knows he will need and says he needs to know that he can count on his help. He says when it comes to getting what he wants, he will get what he wants. He says he knows what he needs and says he can get him triple that. He says if he helps him out, he will help him out. 

Pretty Boy Smooth vs Cristiano Argento

The Holy Grail are with PB. They lock up and PB pushes him down twice. CA side headlocks him. PB blocks a hiptoss then throws him on a slam. PB corner splashes him. CA is sent out. He hiptosses C-Lo on the floor then pulls PB's throat and arm down on the top rope. 

CA comes off the top and takes an STO. PB does a standing blue thunder and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a quick squash as expected and not much more.

Mike Knox and Trevor Murdoch go up to EC3 from behind and they have some words for EC. They seem to be trying to convince him about something. 

The Paige Sisters do a promo. They goof around a bit. They say there's 2 new women coming here and asks if they are the new kids on the block. Kylie says this is where they take their shoes and send them home.

Kyle Davis interviews Colby Corino in the ring. He says it's complicated when it comes to neck fusion surgery. He said he was told he might be walking with a cane. He said he wondered how he was supposed to wrestle like that. He said he was a given an old man walker and realized he wouldn't get better until he pushed himself. He said he would fall but kept walking. He says he will wrestle again in 2026.

Kenzie and Kylie Paige vs Herra and Teal Piper

Herra has facepaint, a body suit and Tim Storm thinks she's some kind of statue. Teal's had a weird career as she has never really gotten a full run on a major stage.

Ken piefaces Teal. Teal hits lariats and punches. She headbutts her. Teal slams her. Kylie gets in and Teal hits some punches and a headbutt. Kylie boots her then Ken lariats Teal. Ken leg chokes Teal on the middle rope. She meteora's her there and Kylie hip attacks her there.

Kylie misses a low dropkick on the ropes. Herra does a half heavenly lock on Kylie. Kylie taps out but her feet are on the ropes. Herra and Teal win!

Thoughts:
Big time upset here. Even if it was a bad call, it puts Herra and Teal over some. I'm curious as to what this was about and where it goes. This didn't go long and it was just average.

The Paige Sisters argue with the ref after.

The Slimeballz, Carson Drake and Aron Stevens talk. Sage says they face The Country Gentlemen next week. Sage says it won't be a trip to the country but a trip to Slimeball City. Tommy says Slimeball City is never pretty. Carson says what has also never been pretty is Alex Misery. He says Alex picked a fight with the wrong guy and says whatever he has can only be pronounced by a doctor. Carson says he will be the next champ and this is just a step on the way there. 

Giselle Shaw does a promo and is debuting next week.

NWA Tag Titles - The Immortals (Kratos and Odinson) (c) vs The Hard Way (Dalton McKenzie and Jack Vaughn)

They say The Hard Way recently won the NWA Chicago Tag Titles. Carson Drake is on commentary for this.

Jack knees Odin in the gut then hits corner spears. Jack hits chops and clubs in the corner. Odin rams Jack in the corner and hits corner spears. Odin hits euros then snapmares him. Odin corkscrew euros him in the back of the neck. Odin knee drops him then corkscrew euros him in the back of the head for 2.

DM corner splashes Odin. Jack corner splashes Odin then DM corner spears Odin. Jack drops Odin from the side slam and poses. 

Odin backdrops him into a uranage. DM and Kratos tag in. They get in slowly and stare at each other. They collide and trade chops. DM flying shoulders him. DM does Kratos' tatun and is powerslammed. Kratos misses a splash. Kratos is lifted and takes a hart attack variation for 2.

Kratos avoids a corner splash and sick kicks DM. Kratos suplexes DM. Odin pounces Jack and Kratos gets a 2 count on DM. Kratos knees DM in the face. DM takes an immortality (flapjack + 2nd rope euro to the back of the head) and is pinned.

Thoughts
: What we got was alright here and I had no issues with it. They put Dalton over a bit here and he did well vs Kratos. The Hard Way lost as expected as this was random and there was no reason to expect them to win. This was all heavyweight wrestling here. 

Overall thoughts: It was the usual NWA Powerrr episode. We had a bunch of random matches as always. Thom/Silas is back on the menu. The finish to Mims/Nihan made no sense and that bout didn't get a ton of time. There was a story to Haley J's tag but the announcers never brought it up. Rachel Ley should probably be brought back. PB Smooth squashed Argento as expected. We had an unusual upset with Herra and Teal Piper beating The Paige Sisters. Herra's got a unique look and this should lead to something. The main was fine with The Immortals winning as expected. I'd give this show a 5 out of 10. There was nothing that great here and we had the usual odd finishes and random bouts. I wouldn't recommend this one.

CMLL on Televisa Puebla 2/1/2026


Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/01/cmll-on-televisa-puebla-1252026.html

Thoughts:
This was a good match. They booked Atlantis to perfection here with him getting triple teamed and making his comeback to win. His partners stuck to the flying while he did the selling.  This was the best Atlantis looked in a while and it was a total success.

Thoughts: I thought it was a fun match. It ended as it was losing some its steam. They just kept a good pace up and were able to work well together here. Yut got more out of Xel than others do and got him to work more of a normal style instead of a heavy technical style. 

Atlantis Jr. & El Sky Team (Mascara Dorada & Mistico) vs. Los Guerreros Laguneros (Gran Guerrero, Stuka Jr. & Ultimo Guerrero)

AJ wants UG but UG won't get in there with him. Mist springboard crossbodies UG then flying headscissors him. Mist is double flipped into the ropes and does a flying headscissors on Gran. Mist walks up the ropes and flying headscissors Gran. Mist springboard headscissors Stuka out.

Mist and MD do stereo springboard diving headscissors. Mist and MD do stereo slingshot tornillo's out. UG pops up AJ and low blows him in front of the ref. He then rips his mask off. UG is DQ'd. Mistico's team wins the fall and mask.

Thoughts: We had another lame Arena Puebla main event finish here where the heels get themselves DQ'd on purpose. At least it wasn't for nothing here - they pushed the whole match that AJ and UG are having issues and when AJ finally got him, UG got out of it with a low blow. This was just a match and didn't do much but build up AJ vs UG.

AJ talks on the mic after and wants a match with UG. UG agrees. UG says, "next week, you and me, face to face, no problem with me" in English.

Overall thoughts: The first match was good. They covered up Atlantis' weaknesses and pushed his strengths. The second match was also a fun bout with Xelhua and Yutani working well together. The main was lame with mask pull finish. However, it is building to a match next week, so at least it wasn't for nothing. It was still an okay show despite that, mostly for the first two matches. I'd give this a 6 out of 10.

WWE Monday Night Raw 2/2/2026

WWE Monday Night Raw 2/2/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/01/wwe-monday-night-raw-1262026.html

We are in Philadelphia, PA. Corey Graves and Michael Cole are on commentary.

The Vision come down to stop Bron and Bron says Pearce needs to come down. He says he will ruin his entire sow if he wants to ruin his Rumble. Heyman says this is Adam's fault. He says Adam Pearce had to approve visa's for everyone to go to The Rumble and he doesn't buy that he doesn't know who the masked man was. Bron says he will count to 3 to get Adam down here.

Adam Pearce comes out. He says Bron drew the number, not him. He says he doesn't know who the masked man is and says last time, it was Theory. Adam says he will make it right by letting him keep his job after the p!ss poor performance in The Rumble. Bronson Reed blocks Bron. LA Knight's music hits. LA beats up The Vision with a chair then leaves. Bron asks Heyman what they are doing and Bron heads to the back.

We see clips from The Rumble

We see various wrestlers arrive. 

Je'Von Evans vs El Grande Americano

This is the Kaiser Grande, not the Gable Grande. Grande has Rayo and Bravo with him.

Bravo crotches Evans up top. Rayo gives Grande a weapon to load his mask with. The Original El Grande Americano comes out. Evans flying knees Grande and hits a double jump springboard cutter on him to win.

Thoughts: It was a little longer and slower than Evans' usual matches. He didn't get all of his big spot here. It was acceptable but not much more. The return of the Original Grande was the bigger story here and I'm curious as to where that goes. 

Gunther comes out to AJ Styles' music and does his pose. His tron says "Career Killer" on it. Gun laughs in the ring. Gun says AJ found out like Cena and Goldberg that when you step in the ring with The Career Killer, your career and legacy dies.

Adam says Paul will do the same for Bron if he knows what is good for him. He then tells him to tell Reed he's facing Penta. Paul asks if Adam knows who he is speaking to and in what city. Adam says FAFO. 

Bron Breakker is upset in the back and Paul tries to cool him off. Bron says he doesn't care.

The War Raiders (Ivar and Erik) vs Oba Femi

They say this is a tag match but Oba's partner never comes out. Oba lariats Erik and chops down Ivar. He hits corner euros on them then throws Erik on a backdrop. Oba spinebusters Ivar. Oba pop-up powerbombs Erik. Oba's theme then hits without a pin and this is over.

Thoughts: Well, at least The Raiders didn't lose. But then getting stomped like this didn't make them look good. This felt like something Vince would do.

We get a Finn Balor video. He says this business is built on respect and he has always worked that way. He says the respect he gives is never returned. He says the respect has never return. He says Adam Pearce told him The Rumble is full and says respect only gets you so far. He says he wants the World Title and doesn't think he's a bad guy. He says he doesn't think he's a bad guy but is willing to do bad things.

Reed death valley drivers him. Reed hits a top rope splash but the ref is down. Reed grabs a chair. LA Knight then hits a BFT on Reed on the chair. The Vision chase LA Knight through the crowd.

Thoughts: What we got was okay but not much more. The finish was a little weak and there was just nothing too great here. Penta winning was a bit of a surprise.

Raq tells her to stay in the back tonight as it'll make her victory sweeter when she wins on her own. Stephanie Vaquer comes out and the segment ends.

SV hits a skytwister press and wins.

Thoughts
: SV won as expected here. This got a lot of time. They had some slip-up's here with the weapons falling on them or falling out of place at times. The match was fine and was mostly a hardcore battle without any blood. Liv and RP getting involved should lead to something with RR.

Liv hits oblivion on SV after. 

We see Roman Reigns arrive in a car. Roman comes out to talk. He says he won his first title here and lost his last title here. He says he won his first Royal Rumble here too. He says he has a decision to make. He asks if he should go after the title he made. The crowd chants for Punk. He asks if they want him to go after Drew or Punk and the crowd wants Punk more.

CM Punk comes out. He talks in the camera. He says Finn Balor calls himself the baddest guy. He says he's the baddest guy when he's pushed and says Finn Balor will find out when he gets his hands on him. Roman complains and says he interrupted him. Punk says he's a visitor on his show. He says he's the champ and he calls the shots.

Punk says Roman has a big decision. Punk asks the fans if they want to Roman vs Drew or Punk. The crowd wants Roman vs Punk. He tells Roman to take the easy way out and pick Drew. Roman says he doesn't like Drew but says Punk is talking crazy. Roman tells Drew he is 4x bigger than him and had him crying over a plastic bracelet. Punk says they ran out of staples putting Drew back together when he was done with him. Punk says Roman beat him in the past but he beat him in Hell in a Cell. Roman tells him to take a number. Roman says he beat Drew for 3 years straight. Punk asks him and how many of his cousins.

Roman says he should watch how he takes care of his family. Roman says his family is the only reason this show is where its at and the only reason Punk had a show to come back to. Punk says he's sorta right but he manipulated a lot of people in thinking he's the great messiah. He says all he did was hold the company hostage though.

Punk says he was champ for 434 days with Heyman by his side and asks if it sounds familiar. He says Roman followed in his footsteps. He says Roman was champ longer but just because he did it longer, doesn't mean he did it better. He says Roman chooses to be a part timer and Punk says he chooses to go see the fans and say things like, "doesn't it feel great to be alive in Philadelphia". He says he chooses to be a fighting champ and chose to bring him in this company. He says Roman chose to follow in his footsteps and learned from the best. 

Punk says Roman can face a guy he can beat or the guy who is the best in the world that he can't touch. He says he can make Drew the man or face the man who made the title in his absence as the heavyweight champ of the world. Roman says Punk makes all these towns as he had a 10 year vacation. Roman laughs at the idea of learning from him. Roman says he only learned what not to do. He calls him Phil and says Punk wouldn't be here without him. Roman says they asked him when they wanted to bring Punk back. 

Roman says he will never forget Punk running his mouth on his podcast and making his life harder. He says he took his wiseman, brainwashed his cousins and almost brainwashed him. He says he shook his hand at Wargames and Punk mocked him. Roman says he could pick him because he's on the biggest show or on Netflix. He says he's picking him because he always hated him and says Punk will acknowledge him.

Thoughts: There you go, there's your Wrestlemania main event. It was a good segment and gave us some good reasons to care about this feud. We got a long way to go though until Mania and I'm curious how they will fill the time until then as they basically said everything they needed to here. They totally buried Drew here, just like they did with Seth last year. Wrestling may be fake, but the burials are real and Drew got buried 10 feet deep here. At least he's a heel. I would think this also confirmed that Drew will end up fighting Cody in the other title match as I can't see Cody out of the main event picture and I don't know who else Drew would have to fight. Punk/Roman is probably the biggest match WWE has left next to Punk/Cody.

Overall thoughts: It was an okay show overall with the final segment being the high point of the night that set up the Wrestlemania main event. That segment is pretty much a must see just for that. We only had 4 matches otherwise. Vaquer/Raquel was alright but not great but there wasn't a lot else to choose from for match of the night. They did a lot of storyline work with LA Knight continuing his feud with The Vision, Liv/Raquel having issues, Dragon Lee setting up a match with Gunther, the two Grande's going at it and more of the Pearce vs The Vision feud. I'd give it a 6 out of 10. Check out the final segment and skip the rest.

Thoughts: It didn't quite get enough time and it was a little slow at times. I still liked it though. The two match up well together on paper and it worked just as well in reality. There were a lot of hard shots thrown here as expected and they had a nice physical match. It was a solid main. 

Goto talks on the mic after and thanks everyone for coming. Goto says it's the anniversary of his dad's death. He says he's not concerned and no one else here should be either. He says he will keep proving this is the premier league of wrestling. Goto then poses to close the show.

Overall thoughts:
I liked the show. The first two matches weren't much of note. The 3rd bout was alright with them pushing the UE vs Unbound feud. I liked the fourth match and thought it was fun. The big three singles matches here all delivered as expected. Harley/Oleg was a good hoss battle. Zack/Yoshi maybe didn't have the story but the work was right. The main was fine as expected. I'd give this a slight 7 out of 10 as 5 of the 7 matches were fine and we got a better show than usual.

Juggalo Championship Wrestling 1/29/2026 Lunacy Episode 68

Juggalo Championship Wrestling 1/29/2026 Lunacy Episode 68 

 
Joe Dombrowski and Veda Scott are on commentary.

We see clips from last week's episode.

Vince Russo comes out with Big Vito. Vito tells the fans to wipe the clown makeup off. He says there will be no Faygo juice for the fans and says it will never come back. Russo says he has some announcements to make. He introduces a JCW Lunacy Heavyweight Title. Russo says he knows the fans are saying that he should put it on himself. He says he would make a better champ than Punk and wouldn't have to wrestle in a shirt. He says Triple H took their JCW champ. He thanks Matt Cardona for being a great JCW champ. 

He says we don't have a JCW champ right now. He says next week there will be a match for the title between James Storm and Mr. Anderson. He says we have another problem - Mad Man Pondo tried to take the life of Moshpit Mike. He says he ordered Vampiro to fire him. He says Vamp told him to shove it up his @ss. He says he then fired Vampiro and Mad Mon Pondo. Russo says he will be the showrunner until further notice. 

He says he told Vito the situation with Vito, Steven Flowe and CoKane was over and it's time to get back to business.

Jasmine St. Clair, Kongo Kong and Mr. Happy come out. Kong gets in Vito's face. Jas says it's time to get down to business and says Vito is "Little Vito". He says Vito has a receipt coming. She says she's asking Russo to book Vito vs Kongo Kong for dropping Kong on his head last week. 

Vito says Jas is a carnival hussy and says her gap is bigger than a hollowed tunnel. He says if everyone here was drowning on the Titanic, Jas could open her legs and they'd all be saved. Vito says Russo isn't making matches, he is. Vito says there will be a Sicilian Street Fight tonight. Jas asks if he's ready and says they don't need to wait. They get ready to fight but Russo says no and Jas' crew walks off.

Russo asks if this is how Vito has his back. He says he's suppose to be Russo's protector but has done nothing but cause him headaches. Russo says he's trying to turn this place around and Vito has an issue with everybody. Russo says if it wasn't for their 35...then Vito grabs him. Russo then walks off. ICP's music and logo shows then Vito leaves. Vito shoves Dombrowski as he leaves.

The announcers run down the card.

Thoughts: It was a shorter one. We didn't get much but a few spots before this ended. It needed a lot more time to be anything too special.  

Haley J yells at Russo in the back. She complains about being in a gauntlet and says she is letting Alice Crowley run everything. Russo tells her to calm down. J leaves and yells at him. Russo tells Dani Mo to control her. Russo says Alice is on a power trip and Russo needs to control her.

We get some ads for future shows.

Big Vito is talking to The Brothers of Funstruction (Yabo and Ruffo) in the back. Vito says he has an issue with The Monster Corp and he needs their back up. He says they will help him out. They say no unless he has cashola. Vito says there's not gonna be any cashola and says he hopes there's not gonna be a problem here. The clowns say "you, capice?" and walk off. This catches Vito's attention. Vito then looks in a change purse and finds wallets with Italian wristbands on it. ICP music and one of their logo's plays and Vito asks if we here the music. The camera man asks what music? Vito asks why he's talking to him as he's no psychologist.

We get a ring girl in a g-string with butt tattoos.

PCO vs. Sewacide

They said this is PCO's JCW debut. Sew is in a TNA Suicide outfit and PCO has a monster mask on.

PCO boots Sew and clubs on him. PCO running knees him and hits double punches. Sew hits forearms and chops. PCO lariats him. PCO headbutt drops him. PCO then does a trapezius hold to him. Sew hits kicks off the ropes. Sew's springboard is caught and PCO chokeslams him. PCO hits a top rope moonsault and wins.

Thoughts: It was a short one. PCO's not moving so well these days and I don't know if he should be doing that moonsault anymore.

Big Vito grabs the DJ and throws his hat into the crowd. He slaps and pushes him and they say he was asking about who keeps playing the ICP music he is hearing.

Grey headbutts Anderson from the apron then springboards. Anderson catches him and hits a flatliner to win.

Thoughts: I liked the finish here. Anderson lost pretty much all of his muscle and really just looks like a normal person these days. They really worked light here with a lot of shots that didn't really connect. I like Grey though and feel he should be getting more chances than what he does.

Anderson teases signing a fan's belt but then just throws it down over the rail.

JCW Women's Title Gauntlet Match - Haley J (c) vs. Mickie Knuckles vs. Dani Mo vs. Alice Crowley

Leg 2 - Haley J vs Mickie Knuckles

MK hurries to the ring. J hits chops and gets nowhere. MK headbutts her in the chest the fisherman's busters her twice. MK overhead throws her. MK hits knees to the head then knee chokes her on the bottom rope. MK hits a knee to the head flurry then foot chokes her. MK doesn't release the hold and the ref DQ's her. MK then shoves the ref out.

Leg 3 - Haley J vs Alice Crowley  - Alice needs a 2 count to win, Haley needs a 4 count

AC comes out and says she has a last minute rule change. She says J has to pin her for a 4 count while AC only needs a 2 count.

AC hits shots on J and backdrops her for 1. J chops and superkicks her. J STO's her and lets go at 3, forgetting she needs a 4 count. AC lariats her and hits mounted shots. Haley J's mom Maria comes in and beats up AC to cause a DQ.

Thoughts: It was a gauntlet so we didn't get a lot of anything here. Mickie Knuckles' attire is really disturbing though she really stiffs people. The 3rd leg of this was short and went to a DQ.

Yabo and Ruffo are interviewed in the back. They say The Outbreak did beat them once and they might do it again but that's why they are doing the match. Yabo is throwing stuff in his suitcase and they are concerned something is missing. Yabo asks if they have their wallets but they are missing from the fanny pack. Ruffo blames Vito.

Coach's Corner

Jonathan Coachman is the host here. He talks Willie Mack. He says Mack was the top dog when Lunacy started. He says he can't even remember him with the JCW Title and says he's a lackey for 2 Tuff Tony. Coach asks what he's doing. He says he should forget about Tony and worry about himself. He says he was dressed as a fan last time he saw him. He says Mack needs to focus on himself before it's too late...unless it already is.

JCW World Heavyweight Title #1 Contendership Three Way Ladder Match - Caleb Konley vs. CoKane vs. Kerry Morton

Jeeves helps set up a ladder with a bridge for CK. KM hits shots on CK. CoKane walks the bridged ladder. He fights KM on the ladder.

Jeeves goes to climb the ladder. CK pushes him down. KM pushes Jeeves into the ladder, knocking CK over. KM goes to grab the briefcase. Matt Cross comes in and beats up KM. KM is sent out. CoKane grabs the briefcase and wins.

Thoughts: It was a JCW ladder match and I think anyone who watched this would agree. The ladders weren't the highest or the best quality but they worked with them. CoKane tried to do cocaine off The Ring Rat and Matt Cross came out to cost Kerry the match. It wasn't boring but it wasn't designed to be a classic.

Big Vito jumps Mr. Happy in the back.

We see clips of an old match between Tommy Dreamer and 2 Tuff Tony.

Kerry Morton throws a fit in the back and asks a worker where Matt Cross is. The camera man hadn't seen him either and Kerry tells him to shut up.

Vince Russo tells an unknown person in the back that they have until next week to deliver.

Vito hits chops and boots on Kong. Mr. Happy comes down and clubs on Vito. PCO comes down and hits Mr. Happy from behind. PCO then chokeslams him. Vito lifting ddt's Kong and pins him.

Thoughts: It was mostly all shenanigans here and not too much of note wrestling wise.

Vito then pulls out money and pays PCO after. The music and the logo play. Vito gets upset and the show ends.

Overall thoughts: Russo shows are known for having a lot of things going on and not being boring. That was the case here. JCW and Russo are a really unique combination that work well together. Russo having clowns, cokeheads, pornstars ,monsters and other things to work with is a dream come true for him and Russo's name brings interest wherever it goes. Where things usually fail is that Russo does too much and it stops making sense. I haven't gotten that far along to see if that's the case yet though. You are going to be disappointed if you are looking for great matches or pure technical wrestling, but you've got a lot of promotions that cover that. There's not a lot of promotions out there with clowns, coke dealers and monsters and JCW offers all of that and more. I would totally recommend this.

AAA on Fox 1/31/2025

AAA on Fox 1/31/2025

Dorian says he took the company where it is now. He says you need to thank him for that. He says money can buy anything and says he has the best wrestler in the world in El Hijo del Vikingo.

We get a non-translated video on Rey de Reyes that explains the format.

El Ojo comes out to the ring again with Vikingo. TJ throws Mini in to Omos. Omos hits a last ride on Mini. El Hijo del Vikingo laughs on the mic. Hijo tells Mini there's nobody here to defend him. He says this is the last time Mini does his moves and uses his name. Omo then hits another last ride on Mini.

We see a recap of the Lola/Hiedra/Iguana situation. There's no subtitles for this.

Thoughts: It's a real shame this feud started before the English commentary did and it's a shame they didn't narrate the video to tell us more about it. The situation and angle is obviously amusing. The story of the match was good here and they did a decent job of bringing Iguana into it but sadly the girls didn't have the cleanest night ever and the wrestling wasn't that good. JBL was really funny on here making jokes about past refs like Bronco Lubich and Nick Patrick.

Thoughts
: Like the opener, it was an entertaining bout. They didn't go too far with it and we got some nice highlights before going home. I enjoyed this and it was what you would hope it would be.

Parka dances after.

Overall thoughts: This show continues to be really fun. The wrestling is entertaining, they've got some characters to work with and they are keeping things relatively simple while they get their footing down. Rey did a much better job translating this week but they still need to make sure every segment is translated so we can understand. JBL was very funny here. I'm really curious to see how things look a bit down the line when the wrestlers and stories are a bit more fleshed out as that will really show us how ready WWE is to run a full-time lucha promotion. I'd give this a 7 out of 10 and I thought it was a good show. I enjoyed this.

WOW Women of Wrestling 1/31/2026 Season 6, Episode 17

WOW Women of Wrestling 1/31/2026 Season 6, Episode 17

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/01/wow-women-of-wrestling-1242026-season-6.html

We are still on Freemont Street in Las Vegas. David McLane and Nigel Zane are on commentary.

The Classmaster and Samantha Smart come out. Sam what sucks is watching WOW descend into savagery. She says their title was stolen by Tormenta and then says she was insulted by Santana Garrett.

Thoughts
: It was short and not that good. Scout had a sloppy night. I think this was a face vs face match.

Veronica Varoom goes up to Catalina Speed. She says they have a lot in common and she likes her style. She says she has the makings of a champ and says she can get her a title match if she wants one. Speed doesn't buy it. Varoom then clarifies that it would be a tag title match. Speed isn't sure.

The Dojo Defenders talk in the back. Tara feels good. Kara does too. She says they are coming home with the titles tonight. Sandy Shore walks in and Tara is brushed aside. Sandy says she's tired of losing. Kara says to let her finish up with Tara and they will debrief. Ashley Blaze comes in and asks if everything will be okay. She wishes them luck and says she has Tara's back.

Thoughts:
Things aren't going well with The Defenders and it looks like we will have Tara/Blaze vs Shore/Kai bout.

We get a package on Miami's Sweet Heat vs The Dojo Defenders.

Miami's Sweet Heat and Lana Star are interviewed. Lindsey says no one cares about The Dojo Defenders and says they have no clue what they are stepping against. Lana says MSH drives the ratings through the roof and they have nothing to worry about. Lindsey says they are the best team in the world. Laurie says you have nothing to worry about when you are them.

Thoughts: The Defenders lost as expected as they are going to be split up. It wasn't too much of note with The Defenders only getting a little in before going down as expected. This was average,

MSH talk on the mic after. She says Kara actually showed up and says if you want to beat the tag champs, you better show up, show out and read the whole playback. Linds says they aren't even on the same page. Laur says The Defenders are trying to find the standard while they are the standard. Linds says they are the standards and the history makers. Linds says the tag titles won't go anywhere as they are money, money, money. 

Santana Garrett says the odds are stacked against her tonight but she's a fighter and believes in herself. She says that's the real superpower.

Drucilla Blade says Blaze is fighting Genesis next week. She says she can't wait to see Gen put out her fire. She says if the fire gets too bright, she will stomp it out herself. She says if you mess with Gen, you have to deal with Drucilla Blade.

Lil J Boogie does a video. She says she's from North Carolina and came to LA to become a dancer. She says she gave WOW a try and fell in love with it. She say she wanted to see where it took her. She says she fractured her elbow breakdancing.

She says Gabriella Cruz caught her eye and encouraged her to come back. She say she's an amazing wrestler and says her moves are amazing. She says watching her made her realize she loves wrestling. She says they would make a good team. She says she showed her some dance moves and she will get into the groove with time. She says Cruz showed her Brazilian jiu jitsu and she is no pro. She said she had fun doing it but wasn't good. She says she's glad she has her as her partner as she doesn't want to face her in the ring. Cruz comes in and hugs her and they say they will kill it out there.

Samantha Smart says the stupids aka Santana Garrett are running wild in this company. She says they are no longer safe and she will restore balance.

Next week has The Alliance vs Lil J Boogie and Gabriella Cruz

The Classmaster vs Santana Garrett

Class shoves her. SG sunset flips her for 1. SG superkicks her in the gut and trips her. SG indian deathlocks her. Class fish hooks her. They forearm each other outside. Class clubs on her and they trade more forearms. SG is flapjacked on the apron edge. Class boots her on the ground.

SG headflips into a forearm. SG and Smart fight for Sams book. Class hits SG from behind then SG cradles her for the win.

Thoughts:
I was surprised to see Santana win here. The match wasn't anything too special and Smart's interference towards the end was a bit excessive. The ref should have just ejected her. It was the usual Santana match and was just average.

Overall thoughts: We had 3 matches this week but none were better than average. We had a decent bit of storyline work this week as The Dojo Defenders are getting ready to split soon and we learned about a new Gabriella Cruz/Lil J Boogie team. Santana Garrett beat The Classmaster, which I assume will further her trek to getting another WOW Title shot but I don't know if it'll end up being against Tormenta. I would only give this a 5 out of 10 and thought it was a very average show. I wouldn't recommend this.
