Thoughts: It was a decent ladder match. They didn't do anything too crazy thankfully and everyone should have made it out of this safe. Jada had the big highlight here with a moonsault off a ladder. Marks was afraid to climb the ladder during this.

Max Castellanos is interviewed with his girl. He says Jay Alexander is a human being with a family. He starts laughing and says he doesn't care about what happens to Jay. He says he's a champ and Jay is not. He says he's a champ and Jay is not. He says Jay is an example of why you don't mess with Max. Max says he could care less about Mike Cunningham. He says he will get his @ss kicked. Max says he will keep what's his.

Thoughts: It was a decent tag that got enough time. Warren falling off the 2nd rope to the outside was an interesting twist to eliminate Warren from the match for a bit. Zack got a lot of shine here as he fought off the 1v2 and won.

Mike Cunningham is interviewed. Mike says he can't wait to see the fans again and said they took to him the first time. Mike says he's excited and is blessed to face Max Castellanos for the Texas Title. He says he's the current Nightmare Factory champ and says wouldn't it be fitting if he left a double champ?

Mike top rope dropkicks him out. Max's girl Alexa distracts Mike. Mike dances at her and She low blows him. Max hits a swinging side slam and pins him.

Thoughts: It was an alright bout here. I was surprised to see Max in though it wasn't clean. I don't like Mike doing stripper dances and that will 100% hurt him if he keeps it up.

Alexa goes to put the cigar out in Mike's eye after but Ayden Cristiano interrupts (Ayden's buddy Jay had that happen to him recently). Ayden gets on the mic and tells Max it'll be an eye for an eye next week at Wrestlefest.

Overall thoughts: It was a decent show as usual. The girls did fine in the ladder match. The tag match wasn't bad and the main was alright. They also set up some future programs here. I had no problems with this and would give it a 6 out of 10.

WWE Main Event 8/13/2020

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/02/wwe-main-event-862020.html

They lock up. BK boots her then side headlocks her. BK pulls the hair and side headlock takeovers her. BK side headlocks her and shoulders her over. BK poses. RR armdrags her off a hiptoss attempt then STO's her. RR then poses and tells her to suck it.

RR hits spears to the gut on BK. BK misses a facekick on the ropes and is hit with a riot kick. RR wins.

Thoughts: It wasn't that good as expected. Neither of the girls offense looked that good. I think Ruby was the face here but she didn't do a good job with it. BK didn't really hit on some her kicks.

Titus corner splashes him. AG clips him and hits 2 superkicks. AG basement dropkicks him and pins him.

Thoughts: Titus had a good showing here. He hit some great punches and chops. AG stuck to various kicks. The developmental wrestlers did a poor job reacting to this and did little to help these guys out. AG's finisher was very weak here as he won with a basement dropkick. It was so-so.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches here along with various recaps. Neither match was that good and they didn't have real fans there, so things were limited. The men's match was better than the women's match though. This wasn't that good and I wouldn't recommend it.

WWE Main Event 8/6/2020

Next week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/02/wwe-main-event-8132020.html

Tom Phillips and Byron Saxton are on commentary. We are the Performance Center with plastic boards and restrictions. Various developmental people like Von Wagner, Shotzi Blackheart and Kayden Carter are posing as fans here.

Thoughts: It wasn't that good. AR probably throws hard strikes but they aren't the prettiest. HC did some flying and definitely was the face, but the lack of a real crowd hurt this.

Mustafa Ali vs Riddick Moss

RM throws him off the waistlock and takes trash. RM does a nice throw. Ali chops him and RM chokes him for it. Ali flips over him in the corner and running dropkicks him twice. RM knocks him over twice then flips him with a lariat for 2.

RM is seated up top. Ali flips off the buckles and holds his knee. RM clips him from behind. RM ddt's the leg. RM stomps him in the corner. RM pulls his leg around the ropes and boots it. RM spinning toe holds him. Ali's leg is banged off the post.

RM hits a hard running corner spear then suplexes him for 2. RM half-crabs him. Ali hits up kicks and enzugiri's him. RM misses a corner charge and is kicked in the face. Ali rolls into a facebuster on him.

Ali is pulled off the buckles. RM runs at him and is hit with a euro. Ali 2nd rope twisting ddt's him. Ali misses a 450 off the top. RM hits a neckbreaker and wins.

Thoughts: RM won as expected. I would have liked to see him win with a knee related move since he worked it most of the match. RM had some nice offense here with some spears that really looked like they hurt. It was alright enough but not much more.

Overall thoughts: We had 2 new matches along with the various recaps. The main was better than the opener here but neither were must see. The crowd with the developmental wrestlers also weren't too into this and helped bring this down a bit. I wouldn't recommend this one.

TNA Xplosion 2/20/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/02/tna-xplosion-2132026.html

Adam grabs Home's jersey and rubs it in Home's face. Home fires up and hits a shiranui to win.

Thoughts: It was fine and about what I expected with Home winning. they kicked out of a bit more than usual. Adam played the heel here and naturally Home was the face. It was a perfectly fine pre-show type of match.

Overall thoughts: There was only one new match and interview as usual along with various recaps, highlights and shilling. The match was fine but nothing you need to see and the interview wasn't much of interest. I wouldn't really recommend this but you can watch the new stuff in under 10 minutes or so.

Cutler James and Dion go after Drake and officials break it up. OG crossbodies officials. Tony D'Angelo chokeslams SS on the apron and Brad pins SS. Vanity Project win!

Thoughts: It was a solid match here with The Project getting thrown around and Darkstate acting as the defacto faces. The finish made sense as Tony D wanted revenge on Darkstate and getting it. The crowd liked it and this will definitely solidify The Project as a team here.

Myles Borne is interviewed. He said he made Ethan Page give him a shot. He says he wasn't supposed to be here in WWE and said the odds were against him. He says Page has been leading him away from Page. He says he's the one guy who can beat Page. He says he won't be known as the deaf kid and will be known as the new North American champ.

Thoughts: They did what they were supposed to here. Sean was the underdog, got roughed up and got a little in before going down. KC won as expected and continues to look like a force.

Kendal Grey and Wren Sinclair talk in the back about Zaria and Sol. Grey says she will make way into the title picture and says they need to get Wren ready for the Speed Tournament. Kelani Jordan comes in and says to look at how she made Lola tap. She says she beat her at her own game and all she could do is cry about it.

Thoughts: It was a fast paced and entertaining battle. I wasn't totally surprised to see Elio win here since the title wasn't helping Troy and wasn't really made for a bigger guy like him. Elio and Eli got to show off their flying here and Troy used his power against them. This went better than expected.

Ricky Saints talks to Ethan Page about his appearance on a show called Wild card. RS says he's worried about Page's leg. Page says he will defend even if his leg is amputated. The Vanity Project come in. They credit Page for the title win. Saints says he will become a 2x champ when he beats Hendry. Saints says they will make sure Page remains the longest reigning North American champ ever.

We get a video on Joe Hendry. He says Saints thinks he's a meme but he's the sum of all of his part. He says he lived multiple lifetimes to get here.

Jacy spinning forearms Sol and pins her.

Thoughts: Zaria finally turned on Sol. It's been building for a while and they finally did it here. I knew Sol wasn't winning as this was too early in the show for a face title win. I wanted to see Jacy/Sol so I was a bit disappointed.

Zar F-5's Sol on the commentary table after. She calls her a b!tch and kisses her head.

Tatum Paxley talks in the stands. She says she's been trying to find love and acceptance. She says she thought if she could change, somebody would stay. SHe said they didn't.

She says the fans accepted every little weird part of her. She says when she beats Izzi for the title, it won't just be her's but ours.

Fatal Influence talk in the back. Zaria says she owes them since she held Jacy retain the title. Jacy says no. Zaria says Jacy escaped a title match and she wants her title match next wee. She says she will do to her what she did to Sol if she doesn't give it to her.

The 6 then fight and ref's break it up.

We get a video on Myles Borne.

Stone confirms it'll be Jacy vs Zaria next week and the Absolute Experience with Ricky Saints next week and Izzi Dame interrupts. She says she will sit down with Tatum Paxley next week and talks but says if Tatum touches her, the match is off. Stone says he will talk to her, but it's Tatum.

Thoughts: I figured Borne had a shot at winning this since it was the main. It was an okay bout. Borne was a good face and threw good punches. This had a bunch of shenanigans near the end. I'm curious as to what happens with Page from here as he could do well on the main roster. It's good to see Borne win a belt and we'll see how he does as a champ.

Overall thoughts: We had a lot of wrestling here and almost every match was a title match which was a nice. We got a bunch of stuff set up for next week. I liked the show and thought the opener was the best thing on here. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 overall.

NWA Powerrr 2/24/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/02/nwa-powerrr-2172026.html

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

We see clips of Silas Mason beating Matt Cardona a month ago. We then see clips of Silas beating Thom Latimer adn walking away from his handshake.

I will not be watching the opener. TV-MA lost to Natalia Markova's team.

Thom Latimer talks. He says Silas beat him as he was the better man but he blew him off on the handshake. Thom says it shows what can kind of champ and man he is. Thom says their paths will cross again and he says he will regret blowing him off.

Thoughts: It was a shorter match. Slade won but I don't know if Fenrir was the right person for this kind of loss. Slade looked okay throwing Fenrir around.

Teal Piper does a promo. She says she sees Kenzie Paige strutting around like she owns the place. She says this is the place built by the rowdiest of them. She says the rowdy club is here to re-build it brick by brick. She says she has arrived to tame this broken kingdom.

Bitcrush

The Cazana's talk to Mel at Bitcrush Lev and Alex Misery are there with Mel. Joe says he's about to lose his ranch and is about to be sued for millions by Billy Corgan. AJ asks why he's asking advice from cucks. Lev says it's cuckolds. Mel says he has no advice.

Kratos and Odinson say it's time for The Country Gentlemen. They say they have to step out of the sandbox and get in the ring with them. Kratos says they are prey to none, friends to few and predators to all.

NWA United States Tag Titles - The Slimeballz (Sage Chance and Tommy Rant) (c) vs Jack and Eddie

We haven't seen Jack and Eddie, though they said they appeared on some kind of video on the NWA's youtube channel. They are both younger and smaller guys. Eddie has the singlet and Jack has the pants on.

Jack cradles Sage for 2. Jack dropkicks him. Sage takes a double stomp into an AA. Rant spinebusters Eddie. The Slimez hit a snotrocket and Rant pins Eddie.

Thoughts: It was a shorter bout. It was fine. The Slimes broke the rules a bit here. Jack and Eddie didn't overdo it and got a little in before going down. This was a random one.

The Paige Sisters talk. Kylie complains about losing 3 weeks ago with her foot on the ropes to Herra. She says she will beat her in a submission match. Kenzie says she came here to chew bubble gum and beat her opponent and she's all out of gum.

Knox and Murdoch talk. Murdoch talks about beating Tyler Stevens. Konx talks about PB Smooth attacking Murdoch with a chair after. Knox asks why this happened? Murdoch says they gave EC3 advice and he got butthurt. Knox says let's teach them a lesson and Murdoch says if he wants to swing chairs at him, let's go.

Kenzie Paige vs Teal Piper

I think Ken has some new filters for her entrance. No entrance for TP.

They lock up and TP rolls her. TP tells her to come on and lets Ken run the ropes alone. She trips her then eye pokes her. TP atomic drops her then slams her. Ken neckbreakers her. Ken chinlocks her. Ken throws her back by the hair.

Ken snapmares her and kicks her in the back. Ken sleepers her. TP rolls up Ken then Ken dropkicks her. TP side slams her. They trade shots. TP headbutts and high kicks her. TP corner splashes her.

TP PK's her and sentons her. TP sleepers her and Ken uses the WM9 escape (Piper vs Bret) to get out. TP spinebusters Ken for 2. Ken cutters her and gets the pin.

Thoughts: It was fine. Teal showed some personality and the match ad a reason for happening. Ken won as expected here.

Alex Taylor says he keeps giving and giving and the company keeps taking from him. He says the company keeps telling him who he is and who he is supposed to be and how he is supposed to dress. He says he will burn this to the ground if he doesn't get what he wants. He says he wants the gold back.

We get a video on The Los vs Aron Stevens' crew. Next week it's Aron Stevens vs Alex Misery

The Lost do a promo. Lev says the economy of the NWA is suffering and Aron's crew hasn't paid the price yet. Alex says they are awakening something they aren't ready to face.

Colby Corino comes out and Kyle Davis talks to him in the ring. CC says he has an update. Carson Drake and The Hard Way come out. CC leaves. Carson says his crew likes to do it the hard way and would have sent him out on a wheel chair if he did it his way. Carson says they have a redneck as the champ. He says Silas Mason may be the best wrestler in the world but to keep the title, he has to beat him. He says he's not gonna and says Silas can't beat him.

Bitcrush

Daisy Kill is back at Bitcrush with Mel. He says he doesn't know if he should thank him or bash his skull in. He says he had a great idea and Kill ended up having to face Kerry Morton. Kill asks if he set him up. Mike Mondo comes in, gets behind Kill and tells him to scram and beat up. Mike says he doesn't like freaks. He says maybe he likes freaks after all. Lev and Alex then come in. He says maybe he owes Mel an apology as good things have been happening to him. He says he likes Mel and freaks like him. Kill comes back in. Mondo says he doesn't like freaks. Mel says he likes National champs and says now that Mondo. He congratulates him from one freak to not a freak. Mondo then squeezes his hand and says he's the real national champ and it's gutcheck time.

El Dragon Nihan and Wrecking Ball Legursky vs Mims and The Pope

Ball and Mims lock up. Mims waistlocks him then side headlocks him. Ball shoulders him over. Mims boots him then Ball bodyblocks him. Pope comes in. He boots and chops Ball. Mims elbows him in the head then is knocked over when he tries to shoulder Ball.

Mims stomps Ball. Mims elbow drops Ball. Pope hits crossface shots and does a Wrecking Ball chant while doing it.

Nihan headbutts Pope down. Nihan running facekicks Mims. Nihan powerbombs Mims and pins him.

Thoughts: The result was a bit weird as Mims and Pope just formed a group here and already lost. It didn't get a ton of time and was just an average match for the most part.

Overall thoughts: I didn't watch the opener. We had some random bouts as usual and a couple of visits to Bitcrush this week. There was nothing too great or awful this week and I'd really just say it was an average show. Nothing got that much time either. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 and wouldn't recommend it.

Thoughts: The finish got messed up some here and it's a shame as things weren't going that bad. I would have liked Aries to sell his leg more since CJ was working on it.

CJ rolls her up for 2 then superkicks her. CJ running knees her. CJ hits a top rope frogsplash for 2 then they trade pin attempts. CJ eventually scores the pin.

Thoughts: I was alright with this. They connected on various moves and weren't too sloppy. CJ beating Madi was a bit of a surprise but Madi could use this to push her conspiracy theorist character.

We see clips of The Order beating up Cabana Man Dan and Aaron Roberts making the save from a few episodes ago. We then see clips of The Order jumping Aaron and we see Silas Mason saving Aaron.

Thoughts: It was a short but sweet match and it did exactly what it was supposed to do. Cone got some offense in, showed some fire and was a solid underdog face vs Vain. Vain won but this helped out Cone and I liked this.

DV picks up Cone after then he drops him with a punch. The Order come out and beat up on Cone. Mims comes out to help and gets beaten up. The Blacklist then come out and fight The Order too. The faces get the edge and The Order pull DV out.

We see clips of the Marko Harris vs Grayson Pierce fight from a few episodes back. We then see them being forced to team.

Grayson Pierce and Marko Harris vs Austin Mulitalo and Ethan Steele

GP and Marko shove each other as they enter and try to pose in humorous fashion. Austin's team then mocks them and Marko mocks them back.

Thoughts: This was super entertaining and just so much fun. GP and Marko can't get along and spent half the match attacking and annoying each other but in the end, they somehow pulled out the win by accident. Steele had some good looking offense here and Marko/GP were just so over the top and entertaining with their shenanigans. I really enjoyed this and would recommend checking this one out.

Overall thoughts: It was a fun show. The main was really good and worth a look with Marko/Pierce not being able to get along. The opener had some positives to it. Mims' match was acceptable as was the women's match. I liked Vain/Cone and thought they got that one right as well. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 and thought they did a good job with this one.
