Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/09/nwa-powerrr-9192026.html

We are at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, PA. Danny Dealz, Billy Corgan and Joe Galli are on commentary.

Nattie Neidhart does a promo. She says she returned and will make her return to the NWA. She says you can call her "Nattie 2 Taps" when she's done with the Paige Sisters tonight.

We go to break.

Silas Mason says him and Carson Drake don't see eye to eye, especially about what the title means. He says the title means more money into Carson's bank account, but he says the title is about the miles, memories, moments and proving you are the best. He says it means your word can't be broken but Drake's word is worth nothing. He says it's the biggest match of Drake's life against the biggest man who ever lived.

We return to the match.

We go to break.

Aron Stevens hypes up Carson Drake in the back. He says tradition says when you win the NWA Title, you get a rolex to commemorate it. He then gives him a rolex as he says he already won it. The Slimeballz ask for the box and Aron throws it at them and tells them quiet. Aron asks what time the watch has and Drake says the time is time to become NWA champ. Aron then takes the box away from The Slimeballz.

We return to the match.

Kylie misses a corner kick. Ken cutters Kylie on accident. Nat is rolled up by Ken for 2. They double clothesline each other. Kylie teases hitting Nat with the title belt then nails Kenzie with it on purpose. Nat then sharpshooters Ken and submits her. 

Thoughts
: It was a weird one. It was a 2v1 then Kylie turned on Kenzie after Kenzie hit her with a move on accident. It got a lot of time and the odd 2v1 situation made for an unusual flow. I'm just glad we got to see it as we didn't get to see Nattie's last NWA match.

Joe Galli interviews Silas Mason about him wrestling in All Japan recently. He says Japan was beautiful and says the Japanese people wanted to see their guy (Shotaro Ashino) take the title. He says the language barrier wasn't too bad as the language of whooping on someone translates in any language.

Silas says he went to the Rocky Top Sports Bar in Tokyo and gave someone a replica NWA Title. Silas says if Corgan wants to go on another world tour, he'll be there. Silas says there's only one World Title. He says Whitey Caldwell was buried with his title and he will be too as he will never lose. 

Alex Taylor does a promo. He says him and Ricky Morton went through hell but he's still standing. He says The Morton's are in the rear view and he will focus on holding some gold. He says when you're hot, you're hot and when you're not...

NWA World Title - Silas Mason (c) vs Carson Drake

Aaron Stevens is with Drake.

They go up into each other's face and stare down. They shove each other, lock up and go into the corner. 

We go to break.

We return from break.

CD side headlocks him. They criss-cross on the ropes and SM running lariats him. SM back body drops him. SM hits mounted corner punches and CD drops down. SM then hits more mounted corner punches. Aron Stevens gets on the apron and is hit too. 

CD is out of it and swings wildly. SM backdrops him for 2. Aron trips SM.

We go to break.

The Royal Court talk. Trevor says he couldn't be more proud of his court. The Slimeballz come up to The Court and want a penny for a Rolex found. Mike Knox refuses. Trevor tells Tyler Franks to donate and he gives them a penny. Sage complains.

We return from break.

SM chases Aron around the ring. SM chops CD outside. SM gets sent into the rails. CD swinging neckbreakers him on the floor. CD is down. Billy Corgan, the ref, doctors and Aron Stevens check on CD. It is then announced that Carson Drake cannot continue. Silas Mason wins by ref stoppage.

Thoughts: Drake got hurt and the match had to end abruptly, so I won't be too critical of this one. It's disappointing it had to end this way and hopefully Drake is okay.

Silas gets on the mic after. He says it ain't supposed to be end like this and it ain't over between him and Drake. He says Drake is a low down SOB. Aron Stevens then nails Silas from behind. Aron tries to hit Silas with a loaded glove and Silas hits a thrill ride on him. Silas says he will take a match anytime and anywhere and he loves Philadelphia. 

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches here and the main got cut short due to injury. The three-way earlier in the show went long, had a weird story going on and had Kylie turn on Kenzie at the end of it. We didn't get a lot built for next time here but at least the two matches we had on here were somewhat built to. There were way too many commercials on this show and the commercial breaks during matches made it hard to get invested into the matches. I'm not going to give this one a rating due to how this ended.

Juggalo Championship Wrestling 9/24/2026 JCW Lunacy Episode 100 Carnival of Chaos

Juggalo Championship Wrestling 9/24/2026 JCW Lunacy Episode 100 Carnival of Chaos

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/09/juggalo-championship-wrestling-9172026.html

Note - Vince Russo quit JCW this week. He claimed he wasn't getting full creative control and was just tired. We've seen this one from Russo before. No one is ever going to give him full control at a major level unless the people running the show are executives who don't know anything about wrestling booking or unless the promotion is so small that it doesn't really matter. I thought the JCW and Russo collaboration was beneficial for both parties as it got JCW more coverage and it showed that Russo could book an entertaining show. I hope Violent J learned from Russo's booking style a little and I hope JCW doesn't go back to being what pre-Russo era JCW was with bad wrestling and no storylines.

Mark Roberts and Joe Dombrowski are our hosts.

Vince Russo does a video from his home. He says he is selling his 50% ownership of JCW back to Violent J as he rides off into the sunset. He thanks Violent J and the JCW locker room and the fans.  

Mack Davis interviews Vincenzo outside. Vin says The Luciano Family is having issues. Vin yells at Sally Boy and asks what he's doing. Sal complains about Vito and says he killed his dad. Vin says he doesn't understand what's happening. Sal says he understood Vito made him an orphan. He says he will get his revenge on Vito tonight.

JCW Tag Titles - Choppa City (Bruce Wayans and Atiba) (c) vs The Headbangers (Mosh and Thrasher)

The Choppa's get hit as they pose on the ropes and all 4 men fight. Bruce hits shots on Thrasher and Atiba chops Mosh. Mosh is double chopped down then he takes double chops from The Choppa's. The Choppa's double elbow drop Mosh. Thrasher ddt's Atiba then chops him in the corner.

Mosh jumps off the top onto Atiba. Mosh leg chokes Atiba on the ropes then rides his neck on the ropes. Mosh eye rakes Atiba. Atiba takes a double flapjack. Thrasher foot chokes Atiba then rakes his eyes on the ropes. Thrasher clubs on Atiba. Atiba is bridged on the ropes and takes a la silla to the back. 

Atiba hits shots on Mosh's gut and Mosh eye pokes him. Mosh chokes Atiba. Atiba is double booted in the corner. Thrasher drops Atiba with a shot. Thrasher goes up top but Bruce trips him. Atiba then rolls up Mosh and pins him.

Thoughts: It was kind of a one-sided bout. I didn't think the faces really got in enough before winning and this didn't really get to peak.

Kerry Morton is interviewed by Mack Davis. He says he could become the American champ tonight if he wins or be fired if he loses. He says he hopes Vince Russo is watching. He says Vince left JCW but he forgot to close the chapter on Kerry's career. He says he's gone through his stipulations.  He says Vince never liked him from the start and a lot of people don't. He says he has changed a lot in the last few months. He says he will see himself out the door if he loses. He says they don't make them like him or JCW anymore. He asks for the fans to stand with him tonight as it's the peak of the mountain top and he will hit a home run.

Mr. Happy walks a teddy bear in with a stroller as fans cheer him on.

Donovan Dijak vs Mr. Happy

DD clubs on him from behind and Happy no sells it. Happy threatens DD. DD offers a hug then boots him in the gut. Happy shoulders him over. Happy runs the ropes and Jasmin St. Claire trips him. JJ hits basement dropkicks and foot chokes him. 

DD clubs on Happy on the mat. DD boots him then grabs the stroller Happy brought in. DD then superkicks the teddy bear in the stroller. Happy gets mad and back elbows him. Happy lariats him then corner splashes him twice. Happy samoan drops him for 2. 

DD slaps Happy and Happy headbutts him in the chest. DD spinning facekicks him for 2. Jasmin gets in the ring and she tries to pull Happy with DD. They can't move him. DD foot chokes him. DD misses a top rope moonsault. Happy spinning heel kicks him. 

Jasmine distracts the ref and holds her stomach. DD hits Happy with the stroller and gets caught. Dijak is DQ'd.

Thoughts
: It wasn't a classic or anything but it made sense, it went like it should have to some degree and I thought it was fine for what it was. 

Dijak hits Happy with the stroller after. Dijak spits on the toy bear and wipes his butt with it. Dijak then poses on Happy.

Mack Davis interviews Father Bronson. Bron says he will blow Kerry Morton's mind and make him understand everything he needs to know about Red Love. Caleb Konley comes in. He says he needs 5 minutes out of Bron and needs him to stall. He tells him to do whatever it takes and says he needs 5 glorious minutes from him to get rid of Kerry forever. He then mocks Bron's accent and says, "Do you understand what I'm talking about?".

Father Bronson talks before his match. He says he wants to put an end to the nepotism that is Kerry Morton. He says Kerry capitalized on handouts but he won't hand him nothing. He says he will have to do everything to win the title but it may cost him everything. 

JCW American Title - Kerry Morton 5 Minute Challenge - Father Bronson (c) vs Kerry Morton

KM rolls him up and sweeps him. Bron tries pins and goes out. KM chases Bron and Bron stomps him in the ring. Kerry hits punches on Bron and dropkicks him for 2. Kerry is pulled face first into the buckles. Bron suplexes him.

Caleb Konley comes out with security guards, ref and Mack Davis. He asks if we don't live in a society or a place with law and order. Mack says Kerry was over 5 minutes and he lost. Caleb makes Mack say that Kerry Morton is fired. Kerry then hands the title over. 

Thoughts: They messed this one up. They had issues with the clock. One clock showed there was time left after Kerry won while the other showed no time was left. I don't know which one was true and that's a big problem considering the time was the most important part of this one. It could be explained...but it should have been done right the first time.

Kerry leaves his boots in the ring, shakes everyone's hands and leaves. 

Violent J talks to The JWO. He says Team GCW are not pussies and says their performance has not been what it should have been. He says they have lacked a bit and they only got 95.9% out of them. J says Willie Mack has been too slow when he needs to be fast and too fast when he needs to be slow. J says 2 Tuff Tony usually is able to blow a 2.26 before matches but he has been able to blow a 2.27 lately. J then says he heard Paul has been walking around too tall. He says Paul measures in at 7'2  but is walking around at 7'26. Wacko The Kidd comes in and gives them all things to smoke. J says he owns Wakko's Exotics and says we know where to get it. J says to elevate your minds as we are going to war. They then sign a song to fire up. This was basically a war speech with them playing military music in the background.

Special Ref - Mad Man Pondo: Team JWO (Painful Paul, 2 Tuff Tony and Willie Mack) vs Team GCW (Slade, Nick Gage and Otis Cogar)

Otis chairs Paul in the back and dumps him out. Tony brainbusters Otis on an open chair. Tony then hits a meteor punch on Oits and pins him.

Thoughts: I liked this. It wasn't the craziest brawl ever but they timed it pretty well and they did a good job of making it look they had issues. It a pretty good brawl for JCW standards and they had a good story for it with the JWO vs GCW feud. I thought this was good and one of JCW's better bouts.

The JWO then celebrates after.

Mack Davis interviews Sally Boy. Sal says he has a lot on his mind and has proof that Big Vito killed his father. He says he did it as he couldn't walk in his foot steps. Sal says tonight is about vendetta.

Sally Boy comes out with a trash can. He says he's been looking for Big Vito all night and challenges him to face him like a man. 

Vito comes out with Vincenzo. Vito says he has to come to this piece of crap building. He rips the fans and says they should all get diahrrea and have a great night. Sal says it's not about the fans, it's between him and Vito. Sal says he has an orphan for 25 years while Vito was a murderer.

Vito says he thinks Sal lost his mind. He says there's rules in La Cosa Nostra and there's things you have to known and you don't have to know. 

Sal says when he was a 5 year old boy, Vito told him he worked in waste management and he has a garbage route. Sal says that's not true as Vito is a made man. He says he's made of lies and deceit. He says Vito is made of nothing but BS.

Vito says Sal has a pass but he can't save him a second time. He says Sal is on a need to know basis. He says this is La Familia and you settle things with revenge and remorse. He says one thing Sal has in common with his dad is that he didn't have the guts to pull the trigger either. 

Vito says he took care of him and saved his life. Vito takes his sunglasses off and turns around. Sal has the trash can and Vito tells him to do it. Sal tells Vito to turn around. Sal goes to hit him but can't. Sal then hits him with the trash can from behind. Vincenzo goes up to Sal and Sal pushes him down. Sal then hits Vito in the head with the trash can and hits him in the back and chest with it. Vincenzo tries to break it up and Sal hits Vito with the trash can again. Vito is down and Vincenzo tells Sal to get out. Sal then does.

I didn't want to watch the battle royal. Bulk Rogan (A Hulk Hogan Thunderlips knockoff) ended up winning it and won the JCW Battle Royal Title in it.

Dani Mo talks to The Outbreak. She says tonight is serious business and she needs them to watch her back and keep an eye out for HoKane.

JCW Women's Title Match - Dani Mo (c) vs. "Big Al" Alice Crowley

Thoughts:
It ended before it could really get into the later stages of the match. What we did get wasn't bad and Dani was doing some athletic stuff her. Al pretty much stuck to strikes as usual. HoKane trying to use a hatchet was pretty wild.

Dani hits Kane from behind after. Kane uranage backbreakers her then hits mounted shots on her. Barnabas The Bizarre comes out and hits HoKane with his cane, saving Dani. Kane then picks up the hatchet and threatens Barnabas with it. The Outbreak get in and HoKane backs off. Dani then walks off with The Outbreak, leaving Barnabas alone in the ring.

Josh Bishop and Joel Gertner are interviewed by Mack Davis. Mack says Joel looks horrible. Joel says it's been a rough year but he wants to move on. Mack doesn't know what to ask him. Joel goes through the motions about what Josh will do tonight and says there's unfinished business. Joel asks what Caleb Konley's nickname is and complains about him defending his title every 30 days. He says Josh has unbeaten for over 1,000 days. Joel says Caleb is a fraud and an imposter dummy with a hand up his @ss.

Kane tope con hilos them and drops a fan as well. Kane knees Krule in the face from the apron. Krule powerbombs Kane on the apron. Josh suplexes Krule in from the apron.

Kane misses a top rope swanton. Josh headbutts Kane in the chest then hits a razor's edge powerbombs on him. Josh pins Kane.

Thoughts: We had a bit of shenanigans here. CoKane's tope con hilo into the crowd where he took out a fan was the big highlight of this. Krule didn't really take the loss here as he left which was nice. I thought CoKane had a decent here. It was acceptable.

The hosts talk.

Mack Davis interviews Shane Mercer. Shane says it's been too long since he had the title. Steven Flowe (with The Ring Rat) then says Shane ripped him off. He says it wasn't worth half of what he thought it was. Shane says he only gave it to him as he looked homeless. Steve says he's a rockstar.

JCW Lunacy World Title Match - Caleb Konley (c) vs. Shane Mercer

Shane wasitlocks Cal and Cal ropebreaks. Cal wristlocks him. Shane side headlocks him. Cal then reverses it. Shane shoulders him over. Shane lifts him up by the arm then throws him down by the arm. Cal armdrags him but Shane holds onto the arm. Cal slams him but Shane holds on.

Shane 2nd rope moonsault fallaway slams Cal but the ref is down and can't count. Shane carries the ref over and gets a 2 count on Cal. Cal burning hammers Shane and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a longer bout, especially for JCW standards and had some twists and turns with Jeeves, EC3 and Steven Flowe coming out. I thought they had the logic right here. This would have worked better if Caleb had a true face to work with as Shane's a heel and he hasn't pushed strong enough to really get the crowd into him. It was acceptable and they did bust out some big stuff for this though. Caleb wins again and it seems like EC3 will be up next against him.

Overall thoughts: The opener was one-sided. Happy/Dijak wasn't a classic, but I thought it made sense. Kerry Morton's match got messed up as it had a 5 minute time limit and it seemed like they messed with the clocks during it. The JWO vs GCW match was good and the best thing on the show. Dani/Big Al wasn't bad. Krule's 3 way match was acceptable as was the main. I'd give it a 7 out of 10. We had one really good match here that helped this one out, the other matches were mostly fine and we had a lot going on up and down the card. They treated it like a big show and it felt like one. It was okay overall.

WWE Smackdown 9/25/2026

WWE Smackdown 9/25/2026

Thoughts: They cut to a break at a bad time here and definitely hurt a bit of my interest in this with that. I liked the spots with Yachty. I was surprised to see Trick take a superplex from the cage. What we got was alright here and I'm curious to see what's next for both guys. There was no blood here, outside of Trick bleeding a little in the back of his mouth.

Lash Legend and Nia Jax are interviewed. Cathy brings up an old ladder match with Lash and Lash gets upset. Nia puts Lash over as they talk about Giulia and Charlotte. Lash asks Nia to interview her. Lash says she will win tonight, become Miss MTB and bring the title home.

Punk says if Owens says out of his way, he'll stay out of his way. Owens says nothing and bumps into Punk as he walks past.

The other girls leave. Nikki tells Green she's a joke. She says no one will stop her from becoming champ.

Thoughts: Lash winning this one was an upset. It was average overall. It could have been a bit cleaner. Giulia got pinned but just not getting destroyed in seconds was an upgrade for her.

We see clips of Cody Rhodes telling Michael Cole he will kick Orton's head off.

We then see clips before this show of Orton yelling at Cole. Orton tells Cole he will be interviewing him and has no choice. 

Orton waits for Cole in the back.

Giulia walks in the back. Blake Monroe taunts her and says no MITB in the back for her. She says it's time she goes back where she came from - obscurity. Blake then says bye bye and there's the door. Giulia slaps her. Officials come to break it up and Blake slaps her back. Nick Aldis comes in and says enough. He says they will fight on SD next week.

Michael Cole interviews Randy Orton in the back. Orton asks if he will ask him a question and Cole says he doesn't know what to ask. Orton asks Cole what Cody said in his interview next week. Cole says Cody said he would kick Orton's head off. Orton asks why Cody would say that. Cole says he's not sure. Orton says Cody doesn't want the world to know he has been compromised. He says the Cody of today isn't the Cody of 20 years ago. Orton talks about Cody's career.

Orton says Cody has a changed a lot in his career but he's still a good guy. Orton asks Cole who never changed or compromised and Orton says it's him. Orton says he won 14 titles. Orton challenges Cody to kick him out there and Orton asks Cole if Cody will do it. Cole doesn't want to answer and Orton gets up in his face to make him answer. Cole says Cody won't kick Orton in the head and Orton says he's right about that.

Sami Zayn is interviewed. Sami says a lot of people want to be champ and don't want him to be champ like Nick Aldis. He says Nick tried to screw him last week but he prevailed. Sami says he will always prevail because he's the only one doing things for the right reasons. Sami says the others do it for the wrong reason.

Finn Balor interrupts. He says they are coming for Sami as he screwed them over on his way to the top. Finn says he's coming for Sami and the title and then we will see what justice looks like.

Sami then talks to Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae. Sami says they need to talk as there's a situation. Johnny asks where his title match is. Sami says he's right. Sami says he asked Nick Aldis to give Johnny a title match and Nick said no. Sami says he's got something for him though. He says he got Johnny and LeRae MITB Qualifying matches. Sami says they move forward with Sami as champ and Johnny as Mr. MITB. Johnny asks if that's how he gets his match. Sami says he has his back and asks if Johnny has his back.

Thoughts: It wasn't bad. They had a nice finishing stretch at the end here which got exciting.

DP then sits on a chair on his throat and tells him to get it and understand it. He says he should be a champ instead of messing with him and tells him to mess with someone else.

Thoughts: It was mostly all strikes early but they picked up in the second half. It was acceptable but these guys weren't the greatest fit for this type of match. I was surprised to see Punk pin Gunther and I'm curious as to what ends up coming from that one.

Overall thoughts: The opening cage match was fine. Giulia's match was average. Johnny Gargano is still not getting his title shot from Sami and hopefully figures that out. The women's trios match wasn't bad. The main was acceptable but those three weren't the best match for each other. I'm not really feeling the Orton/Cody feud and that has gotten a lot of time dedicated to it. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 as the show was okay enough but the MITB Qualifiers are only so exciting to watch.

WWE Main Event 9/24/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/09/wwe-main-event-9172026.html

Vic Joseph and Blake Howard are on commentary.

NF springboards onto Star to break the pin attempt up. Kid and NF are thrown out. Ax top rope spanish flies Star. NF tope con hilos Kid outside. Ax golden ratio kicks Star and pins him.

Thoughts: The luchadores didn't get to fly all that much which was disappointing. We got an acceptable bout though and they kept it moving an interesting. It was far from as good as it could have been though.

Gal double lariats JW and Cruz over the top. Doc cannonballs them outside from the apron. Gal reverse suplexes JW. Doc gets on Gal's shoulders and splashes JW. Doc then pins JW.

Thoughts: Big loss here for The LWO. It's not often main roster guys lose to people from a non-main roster brand but it happened. They put over Galeno a bit, which made sense. Doc was a little better as part of a team here. The announcers slightly hinted at The LWO having issues and that angle has been slowly pushed for a bit now. This was fine.

Big Cass vs Josh Briggs

This is Josh's first TV match in months.

Cass runs at him and clubs him. They shoulder battle. Cass boots him down. JB shoulders him and clubs him. Cass knees him in the gut and clubs him. They repeat the spot. Cass hits more back clubs then JB clubs his back.

Thoughts: The match got no reaction at all which was a shame. It was a pure hoss vs hoss match here. They definitely busted some of the back clubs straight out of a 1980's John Studd match. They did a lot of mirror wrestling here where they would both do the same things. They had the right idea, just it was the wrong audience. I feel like these two probably hit each other a lot harder than we really saw. It was something different and not bad.

Overall thoughts
: The opener was acceptable but not either team's best work. The Wagner Brothers upset The LWO in an alright match. Big Cass vs Josh Briggs was the battle of the giants and something we don't normally see much of these days in wrestling. That was also a decent bout. I thought it was a fun show with some unique matches. There's nothing must see, but there were some different flavors here than usual and that's the kind of stuff that makes Main Event special. This was show was okay overall.

TNA Impact 9/24/2026

TNA Impact 9/24/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/09/tna-impact-9172026.html

We are in San Antonio, TX. Tom Hannifan and Matt Rehwoldt are on commentary. 

Leon Slater comes out to talk. Leon says he unfortunately had to share the ring with Ryan Nemeth last week. He says it was tragic but he bet the crap out of him. He says Nic Nemeth laid him out after and it got him thinking about why one of the best in the world has turned into a coward. He says Nic sees him getting smarter, stronger and faster and is realizing that Leon can beat him. Leon says he doesn't want to wait and tells Nic Nemeth to come out.

Nic Nemeth comes out. He says he didn't attack him because he's afraid of him. He says there's a difference between being a kid with a good future and a champ. He says Ryan Nemeth will win his qualifier tonight and become X-Division champ. He says they will then be running this place after. Nic says he's a dumb kid who is in over his head. Ryan Nemeth gets in the ring. Leon says Nic thinks he's too stupid to notice Ryan is there. Leon then nails Ryan and beats up on Nic. Security then comes out to break it up.

Leon and Nic beat up security and fight. More security guards come out. 

Santino Marella comes out. He says enough is enough. He says until Bound For Glory, Leon and Nic are forbidden to lay one finger on each other. He says there will be no second chances if they don't listen. He says Nic will be stripped of his title if he does so and says Leon will lose his title shot if he does so.

Matt Hardy talks. He says the mystery attacker got his hands on him. He says there could be 2 attackers. He says the attackers attacked Jeff but made a mistake and didn't end him.

They talks about AEW's Rebel.

Indi Hartwell goes up to Daria Rae. She asks how the most insecure woman in TNA is doing. Indi says Daria isn't as tough as she thinks and she's not scared of her. Indi asks if she wants to fight her. Indi calls her a joke and Daria slaps her. Indi says "gotcha" and asks if Santino got it. We then see Santino Marella filming it. Santino says the board will love to see this.

X-Division Title Qualifying Match - Ryan Nemeth vs KJ Orso

They lock up and Ryan backs him up in the corner. Ryan fireman's carry takeovers him and wristlocks him. KJ kicks him in the arm and hits armdrags. KJ armlocks him. KJ armdrags him and corner crossbodies him.

KJ then does a grounded cobra clutch. Ryan rolls him up for 2.

Ryan begs off in the ropes. Ryan lariats him down from behind and sends him shoulder first into the post. Ryan jumping flatliners him and pins him.

Thoughts: It was acceptable. KJ hits 2 dangerous looking moves here on Ryan but his 2nd rope tornillo/corkscrew moonsault looked nice. It got a lot of time. It was nice to  see Ryan in a serious role after he had been losing to women and being booked like a jobber.

We see Rosemary in a straightjacket and a normal version of Rosemary wanting to talk to her. Normal Roseymary says, "Okay Rosemary, why don't we just start straight from the beginning?".

Mustafa Ali talks to Mila Moore and John Skyler. Ali complains about having to fight in a triple threat X-Division Title match. He says the person who came up with it is an idiot and is braindead. He says he wants to know whose idea it was. He says it was Mila's idea. 

Mila tries to explain herself. Ali says she's no brains and all bimob. John says not to take it out on her and says Mila did everything she could to keep Order 4 together while he was out. He says she's a good person and good at what she does. Ali asks if he remembers what Mila said about him last week. Mila goes to thank John and John walks away.

Hernandez, the former TNA wrestler, is in the front row.

BDE pushes Dutch into the post. Vince hits orange sunshine on BDE in the ring and pins him.

Thoughts: It was fine. BDE got busted open here but they covered it up and it was a bit hard to see. They kept up a good pace and the blood was nice. 

BDE has a chair put around his neck after the match and Vince chairs the chair.

Frankie Kazarian talks to Avery Styles. He says he needs to surround himself with people to get opportunities. Kaz says he got him in the Call Your Shot Gauntlet match. Kaz says he's the only guy to win that match twice and said he became a champ because of that match. He says it's his turn to show that he belongs in TNA. Kaz says he's also in the match.

TNA Injury Report

Security guards were injured during the Nic/Leon fight. Jeff Hardy is cleared. Moose is out.

Santino then says he made Xia Brookside vs Indi Hartwell for the Knockouts Title at Bound For Glory. Xia Brookside comes in and says he can't do that as Daria said Indi couldn't get a title shot. Santino says he can and says it is going down. Indi tells Xia she will se her at Bound For Glory. 

The Hardy Boyz come out to talk. Matt says someone has been attacking TNA roster members for weeks from the shadows. Matt says that person's fun is over and says it ends tonight. Matt insists that person reveals themselves. Jeff says he's usually patient but the patience has run out. He tells that person to show themselves. Matt says it's time for the person to put up and show up.

We get some static on the tron. The lights flicker. The Hardy's then get attacked by 2 people. We can't really see it though. The two mystery people are Joe Gacy and Dexter Lumis. Their graphic says "Syx" on the tron. They call them Joseph Sawyer and Samuel Shaw and says they are here.

Thoughts: I would have liked to have seen TNA put some brand new guys in this role, but that's not what TNA does and it's why they have been in a weak position for a while. I'm sure these two will be fine though.

Thoughts: It was average. There was a lot of shenanigans here and it didn't get enough time to get around all that.  

Moose does a promo. He says him and Kaz beat each other up but he proved why he's the face of the franchise. AJ Francis and Expressions come in. Expressions says nobody wants to hear him talk. AJ says he's at all the events and on TV because he's the face of the franchise. AJ says he's the reason Dude Wipes is here. Moose says it's because his @ss stinks.

Ali tells Agent Zero to follow them.

Thoughts: This was a bit random and way too rushed. Mila was talking crap about John last week and is now acting like his lover. Mila's acting wasn't good here.

Zoey Sorrano is in the back on the phone. She's talking to Daria Rae. Zoey says Indi Hartwell won't make it to Bound For Glory and says she will take care of it.

Ali pulls Tasha in and Jason top rope double stomps Tasha on accident when he goes to hit Ali. Ali rolls up Jason for 2.  Jason is sent shoulder first into the post. Ali hits Trey with the title belt and wins.

Thoughts:
I didn't like it. They didn't make the big moves mean much and Trey/Jason going at it early was a bit dumb. I was surprised Skyler and Moore didn't get involved here. The suplex + ddt spot Jason did was cool and I don't recall the last time I saw someone canadian destroyer 2 people at once.

Ali helps Tasha Steelz up after then carries her out. Ali puts Tasha down and Tasha falls down.

The Hardy's talk in the back. Jeff says they don't stay down, they get up. Matt says they don't die and says to prepare to go to war.

Overall thoughts: The opener was acceptable. I was fine with The Rightesous' falls count anywhere match. Eddie/Elijah was average. The women's 4-way didn't get enough time. The main was an indy style match and not my thing. The big news here was Joe Gacy and Dexter Lumis debuting. We'll see how that works out. They also rushed another Order 4 break-up angle here. I'd give it a 5 out of 10. It was acceptable but nothing must-see.

Thoughts
: It went a lot longer than it needed to when the result was never in doubt. AI lost here as expected. The heels did basic heeling as usual. Mila didn't look bad. AI did not look right out there wrestling in a shirt and gym shorts.

Thoughts: The ref delayed the count on the pinfall here for some reason which didn't make sense. It was average. They hit their moves clean but didn't do a whole lot else here.

Thoughts: It was short but it was one of Kouki's better matches...and it's mostly due to Nagisa. Nagisa sold, was a decent underdog and her offense looked fine. She did everything she was supposed to and that with the short length, they were able to hide Kouki's limitations here. It wasn't bad.

Thoughts: It was acceptable but just not a main event quality match. I'm not real sure why Mega was in this one. She did her usual comedy. The other girls had to work around that. 

Komomo and Yuzuki talk on the mic after.

We can't hear the post-match comments well due to entrance music playing too loudly, so I won't be covering them.

Overall thoughts:
Chika/Shinno sucked. Mai/Hummingbird was acceptable but I was hoping for something better from them. CHIAKI's tag went way too long. Misa/Yuuka was average and it should have been better. Tachibana/Kouki worked out okay. Miku/Aleah was okay and the main was fine...but why Megaton was in the main is unknown. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as it was average overall.

Thoughts:
It was alright. The Dark Order controlled things a little more and it wasn't quite the wild Lethal Twist match we usually get. The Twist won as expected and it went okay.

The Dark Order argue after. Preston Vance comes in and John shoves him. John then walks off by himself.

Overall thoughts: Nothing was bad here wrestling wise though Vance's match was probably the least impressive bout. This only went 90 minutes or so which was greatly appreciated. It was an okay show overall and I'd say the main event was the best bout on here. There's nothing you'd need to see, but I'd give it a 6 out of 10 overall.
