Eli Knox and Hollywood Jimmy Blaylock come out for an interview. Jimmy takes the mic from Jaxx Roxx. He tells the crowd to show Eli respect when he comes out here. Jimmy says Eli is the best Apex champ this company has ever seen. He says he can't believe Diana Taylor challenged him to a match. He says he destroyed her. He says he gets why Diana is called "Dirty" and asks if he smelled her. He says she smelled like every woman in the building - they stink and are ugly.

Jimmy says a woman's place is in the kitchen and taking care of her husband. He says a women's place should not be in the wrestling business. Eli talks. He says we learned a few weeks ago that women should not play grown men games. He says Diana did okay but he humiliated her and put her in her place.

Thoughts: Kale got beaten up here for most of this and was eventually put down. Kale's partner then refuses his tag and walked off. It was just a match for the most part. As I said, I'm not sure why this is happening if Chris and Cody are blacklisted.

Thoughts: It was an okay tag with the heels working on JP and Max getting the hot tag in before going to the finish. There was nothing wrong with this at all and Los Desafios didn't lose clean. I don't love them losing in their debut or getting a title shot in their debut but the match worked out okay.

Overall thoughts: It was an alright episode. There was nothing must see here though the main was alright and Black/Kandy wasn't bad. It was an easy show to get through and I'd give it a 5 out of 10 total.

We see clips of Warrior vs Macho at Summerslam.

We then see Razor Ramon attacking Macho Man and costing him the WWF Title on a Prime Time Wrestling episode. Ric Flair beats Macho Man via the figure four and wins the WWF Title.

Thoughts: This was a surprise. I can't say I understand why they pivoted from Ric/Macho for Warrior/Macho at Summerslam since there was a countout finish and Ric was going to win the title back anyway. Atleast we will get to see this title change.

Mr. Perfect and Vince McMahon are our hosts. Perfect is excited about Ric being WWF champ again and said he told him so. He says Ric will be champ as long as he wants.

Thoughts: It's always nice to SICW legend Gary Jackson, who is still going strong in 2025. Razor busted out the high impact offense here en route to a quick win.

Razor watches the replay and asks who's gonna beat this guy (him). He says, "nobody".

Sean hypes up the 10/3/92 Boston Garden show. Kamala's crew does a promo on Warrior, Boss Man and Taker. Harvey says they will concentrate on Taker as they have a personal score to settle with him. He says if Boss and Taker get in his way, he will be just as rough on them. He says he will knock out Paul Bearer if he gets in the way.

The Ultimate Warrior does a promo. He says he can only speak for himself and says he's out of place with his teammates. He says Nailz' beating of Boss might be a good thing as he had to crawl back to be a man. He says it means a lot to the people who believe in him. He says he knows when their opponents are laid out, Taker will be fully willing to place them within the graves.

Papa headbutts him in the corner then boots and clubs him. JT is sent had first into the buckles and takes a big bump. Papa lariats him then slams him. Papa elbow drops him. Papa headbutts JT. Papa shoulder breakers him and gets the win.

Thoughts: It was the usual squash here with Justin getting nothing in before going down.

WWF Event Center

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

Tatanka does a promo on The Mountie. He says Tatanka knows who he is. He says Mountie speaks of his Indian leaders and says there were no great leaders. Tatanka says his spirits say different. he says he will realize what a Native American is all about.

The Repo Man does a promo on Jim Duggan. He says he respects him and says he's good at his job. He says nobody knows where he is but him. He says if Jim looks the wrong way, he will hit him right between the eyes. He says he will be on top of him then end his career.

Thoughts: It was an even match here which was nice. Mike was great as usual, showing lots of personality here before being put down.

Boss handcuffs Mike to the ropes after. 

We see clips of Flair's title win celebration. Flair rants and spills champagne on his head. Heenan comes in and high fives Perfect and Flair. Heenan and Perfect then say, "we told you so".

Thoughts: We had a rare commercial break during the match. That never happens as these squashes aren't long. The Nasty did a bit more than usual here and busted out a rare double ddt.

WWF Event Center

Shawn Michaels and Sherri talk. Shawn mocks British Bulldog winning the IC Title and said he made the best of Shawn's title shot. Shawn says he takes what he wants and that the IC Title.

The British Bulldog does a promo. He says it's Shawn Michaels' turn to get a shot at the IC Title. He says he's a cocky man with a bad attitude. He says he's one of the WWF's greatest wrestlers. Davey says he's this much better though because he's champ. He says he will remain the IC champ.

Vince and Perfect then run down next week's show. Mountie vs Tatanka and we will have a special interview with Macho Man. They also say to watch Primetime as it will have Flair vs Macho for the title. This was a new one as they usually don't hype up next week's show until the last segment.

The Undertaker vs Pat Rose

Taker boots Pat then uppercuts him. Taker hits a bad chokeslam. Taker rope walks and clubs him. Taker tombstones him and wins.

Thoughts: Pat got no air on the chokeslam here and had no chance as usual. Pat got nothing in on this.

Pat is put in a bodybag after.

Overall thoughts: It was a different show as usual as Flair is now WWF champ again after beating Macho, which we saw ample highlights of. Razor Ramon is quickly getting moved up in rank and appears to be a main eventer going forward. We had the usual squashes. The show also had a different format than usual with them taking a break during a squash and hyping next week's show before the last match. I thought it was an interesting show and was better than the usual offerings.

Thoughts: I didn't like this at all. This was a battle for a cardboard title. Ito, who is not very serious, not only took the fight to Aya who comes off as legit, but she beat her in the end. The crowd didn't react much to this and this was just a bad idea.

They talk on the mic after and Aya is frustrated and upset by losing to her. Itoh hugs her, kicks her in the gut and stunners her.

Thoughts: They tried to push the idea of Saki trying to get the upset and being scared of Syuri. Saki was moving pretty slow here and just wasn't really serious enough to pull it off. Syuri also got slowed down by her and she ended up not looking that good too. It was a good idea on paper but the execution was poor.

The two hug after. Syu helps her to the back.

Gauntlet thoughts: Gauntlets are always weird because you only get a little of each thing and they are all separate from each other, yet they all build towards a finish. The girls tried but there was only so much you could do with this. Putting the younger girls in the last leg of this wasn't the best call because they weren't quite experienced enough to make the best of it. It was nice to see Akira vs Rian though. Maika and Suzu had the best leg to the surprise of no one.

Suzu's team celebrates with Akira. Suzu talks on the mic then Akira talks on the mic. Akira's team hugs. Maika then talks on the mic.

Thoughts: Kon worked the arm for a bit then won with a sleeper. Kon was in control for most of this and her and her buddies cheat when they lost the edge. I don't understand at all why they didn't have Kon with the triangle lancer here. It was just average.

Kon talks on the mic after. Ami then screams on the mic and is fired up. Kon kicks her, spraypaints her face again then pushes paper into it.

Hina comes in seems to want a match with Kon. Kon hits her with the title.

World Of Stardom Title Match - Saya Kamitani (c) vs. Starlight Kid

Kid trips her and they grapple on the mat. Kid side headlock takeovers her and Saya turns it into a pin attempt. Saya pulls the mask and side headlocks her. Kid side headlocks her. Kid flying headscissors Saya out. Kid goes for an asai moonsault and is pulled down. Saya springboard crossbodies her outside.

Saya clubs on her on the floor and sends her into the seats a few times. Saya poses on the commentary table. Kid joins her up there and they fight. Saya hits her with the title belt and pump kicks her against the table. 

Kid comes back in and is hit with a 2nd rope dropkick. Saya stomps on her then hits kicks to the ribs. Saya foot chokes her. Kid forearms and chops her. One of Saya's buddies trips Kid then Kid is pulled out and stomped on by HATE. Kid then gets whipped with a belt.

Saya stomps Kid in the ring. Saya grounded chinlocks her. Saya stomps on Kid. Kid springboard twisting crossbodies her. Kid then basement dropkicks her. Kid asai moonsaults Saya outside. Saya's knee is banged off the floor outside. Kid bangs Saya's leg off the 2nd rope then dragon screws it. Kid stands on the leg then standing moonsaults it.

Kid stomps and kicks Saya. She then chokes her over the 2nd rope with her foot. Kid comes off the top and Saya dropkicks her in mid air. The ref pauses the match as Saya seems to have hurt her hand. The match is paused for several minutes. The ref then talks on the mic and the match restarts. Saya's finger is all taped up and Kid slams her on the apron.

Kid tiger drivers her for 2. Kid blocks a spinning roundhouse kick with a stretch muffler. Saya eye rakes her. Saya spinning heel kicks her. Saya hits triple suplexes for 2. Kid spinning ddt's her. Kid top rope moonsaults her for 2.

They fight on the 2nd rope. Saya headbutts her there. Saya 2nd rope ki krushers her for 2. Saya spinning ki krushers her and wins.

Thoughts: It was a long match and definitely an unusual one. Saya did her usual heel bit and Kid did her usual "work the leg" match. Then Saya her hurt finger. The match had to be stopped for a few minutes. They then continued with the same match. Instead of Kid going for the finger that was so injured that the match had to be stopped, she just kept going for the leg. That was stupid. I liked Kid firing up and flurrying on Saya near the end of this. I didn't like the moves off the buckles prior to the finish. Credit to Saya for working injured and I think they got some things right here, but it was a bit disjointed and long. I can't say I liked it that much.

Saya and Kid talk on the mic after. Saya then talks after Kid leaves. Sayaka Kurara comes down. Sayaka get up in her face and makes her pitch for a match. Saya just holds her hands up at her and looks confused. Saya then talks more to close the show.

Overall thoughts: It was a rough and long PPV. Nothing was that great here. The opening bout was alright. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th matches were half-comedy. The gauntlet match was your typical gauntlet where you get a taste of a lot of things but not the full serving. There was only so much the girls could do when they had 5 minutes a piece to work with. The tag title match was acceptable. Konami/Ami was average. The main was unusual as Saya hurt her finger during it and the match had to be stopped for several minutes which hurt things. This was not one of Stardom's better efforts and I didn't enjoy this at all. I'm not even sure if I'd call anything the match of the night here. I'd give this a 4 out of 10 and wouldn't recommend it.

AAA on Fox 2/7/2026

AAA on Fox 2/7/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/02/aaa-on-fox-1312025.html

We are in Queretaro, Mexico. Corey Graves, JBL and Rey Mysterio are on commentary.

Dom is on the phone in the back. El Ojo arrive. Lola Vice and Mr. Iguana are flirting in the seats. Ethan Page arrives. Page talks to Chelsea Green on the phone. Green isn't here and Page is upset. El Grande Americano arrives as does Rey Fenix. Dragon Lee arrives. 

Dominik Mysterio comes out to talk. He says he is the owner of Triple A and makes the rules, not Marisela Pena. He says nobody has given the company the position he has given it. He says nobody has taken the title to Raw each week like him. He says when he beat Cena at Survivor Series, the title was in the ring so the whole world could see it. 

He says AAA is on Fox and they are exploding. He asks if the crowd thinks that is due to Vikingo and Dorian? He says all of this is thanks to him. He says we are in a new era - the era of Dominik Mysterio. He says he's the king of the luchadores. 

El Ojo come out. Dorian says we are in a new era that nobody could have imagined. He says he's one of the biggest and richest businessmen in Mexico. He says he invested his money well with the best wrestler Mexico has given - Hijo del Vikingo.  

Vikingo says Dom's end has come and it has a date on 3/14 at Rey de Reyes in Puebla. He says Dom is the worst of the Mysterio's and he's the best in the world. Vikingo asks what he thinks will happen in Puebla. Dom says he will kick his @ss in front of his family. Vikingo questions this and says there is no way Dom will beat him. Vikingo says let's do something more interesting for the match. He says let's put Dom's hair on the line in the match. Vikingo says he will give him 2 weeks to think about it.

Ethan Page asks Chelsea Green where she is and says he doesn't get why she's not here. Green shows him that she has an injured foot. La Hiedra comes up to him. She says no one knows the importance of the titles more than her and says vamonos. Page questions what she means, she spanks him and she will be filling in for Green.

We see clips from The Royal Rumble and see some of the AAA stars in it.

AAA World Mixed Tag Team Title Match - Ethan Page & La Hiedra (c) vs. Lola Vice & Mr. Iguana

La Hiedra is substituting for Chelsea Green, who is injured. La Hiedra was trying to get with Iguana along with Lola so that should play a role in this. I don't expect Page's team to win here.

Iguaan stares down with Page. Page side headlocks him. Page wristlocks him. Iguana rolls out and trips him. Iguana then crucifixes him for 2. Iguana back rolls and spinning ddt's Page.

Hiedra knees her in the gut and Lola backdrops her. The men tag in. Iguana flying headscissors Page then springboard 2nd rope twisting headbutts him. Iguana pop-up hurricanrana's Page for 2. Iguana dropkicks Page and Hiedra blind tags in.

Hiedra tries to kiss Iguana and Iguana stops her. Iguana rolls into a slingshot diving headscissors on Page outside. Lola rolls up Hiedra then Hiedra flatliners her. Hiedra stands on Lola and Iguana distracts her on the apron with La Yesca. Page grabs La Yesca and Hiedra is pushed into him. Lola spinning roundhouse kicks Hiedra and pins her.

Thoughts: It was a short and entertaining battle with the Iguana/Lola/Hiedra love triangle playing into things. It didn't go long and everyone hit their stuff clean so it worked out just fine. I do think they could have played off the love triangle a bit more.

Hiedra and Page argue on the ramp and are upset about losing. 

El Grande Americano and Dominik Mysterio talk in the back. Dom asks if Grande is a fan of his dad. Grande says he respects him.  Dom says something about Rey de Reyes and leaves. The Original El Grande Americano then jumps Grande II. He handcuffs him to something then takes the key. Grande II calls for help it looks like Original Grande will take his place. Rey didn't translate this one for us.

Next week's show has The War Raiders vs Los Americanos vs Money Machine. It also has Jack Cartwheel vs La Parka in a Rey de Reyes Qualifier.

In two weeks, we have a contract signing between Dom and Vikingo for Rey de Reyes.

Rey de Reyes 2026 Qualifying Four Way Match - Octagon Jr. vs. Rey Fenix vs. Dragon Lee vs. Original El Grande Americano

Original El Grande takes the place of El Grande Americano here. The announcers argue over which Grande is which.

Grnde poses and is triple teamed. Grande is then thrown out. Oct is lifted into a flying headscissors on Lee. Oct spinning bodyscissors Rey. Grandetrips Oct and sends him into the steps.

Grande loads his mask up. He headbutts Lee down. Oct top rope moonsaults but Grande headbutts him in mid-air. Grande top rope splashes Oct and pins him.

Thoughts: It was an okay high flying match here as expected with everyone hitting their spots. I thought Oct looked good here and it's always good to see him get a shot. The crowd hated this Grande. Grande got the win which should lead to some fun with his clone.

El Grande Americano II comes out and chases Original El Grande Americano away. Grande II wants to fight and Original Grande retreats up the ramp. Graves wonders which Grande goes to Rey de Reyes. 

Overall thoughts: The show continues to remain maybe the most fun wrestling show each week. Once we get translations/subtitles for everything, the show will be even better. They just have a nice cast of characters to work with, the announcers have a good time and there's a lot of high flying action. The stories are simple and easy to get and things really couldn't be going much better right now. We had two new matches and both were fine with the main being the better of the two. The Grande vs Grande feud is entertaining stuff. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 overall and thought it was good.

WOW Women of Wrestling 2/7/2026 Season 6, Episode 18

Varoom is supposed to trip Cat on accident but I'm not sure if she actually does. Kal snapmare drivers Cat. Kal ties her legs up and surfs on her. Kal then curbstomps her and pins her.

Thoughts: It wasn't too good here. They only did the basics and those didn't really hit. I think they messed up the spot where Varoom tripped Cat. Cat was the heel here, though just barely. I don't like Cat losing here in her first match with Varoom by her side.

The Dojo Defenders argue. Tara blames Kara for their loss last week. Tara asks what's wrong with her. Kara says if she hadn't spent time with Blaze, they'd be in a better position.

Thoughts: It was a decent main here. Syl and Rey did their thing and Gab was a good face. J also looked a bit better here than usual. 

The Alliance talk after. Arianna says everyone saw every member of The Alliance dominate in the ring. She says they are coming for every title in WOW as they are a dynasty that will rule. 

Overall thoughts: There wasn't a lot to see here. The trios title match was set up for a future date. Genesis/Blaze had an average match. Speed/Kalaki wasn't good. The Dojo Defenders argued more. We had an okay main here with The Alliance vs Cruz/Boogie. Cruz had a good face comeback and is one of their better workers in the ring. Reina and Sanchez are reliable wrestlers and did their job against them just fine. I'd give this show a 5 out of 10. It was just an average show.

AEW Collision 2/7/2026

AEW Collision 2/7/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/02/aew-collision-1312026.html

We are in Las Vegas, NV. Tony Schiavone and Excalibur are on commentary.

Toa is superkicked multiple times. A Buck hits a ddt on Toa. Kaun lariats a Buck over to the apron. Kaun then takes a Meltzer driver and is pinned.

Thoughts: It was the usual Bucks match with them doing every spot they know and winning as usual. GoA had some new double teams here and Toa almost broke his neck on an apron moonsault. As always, if they did about half the stuff they ended up doing, it would have been okay.

FTR and Big Stoke appear on the tron. Stoke congratulates them but says he can't believe they think they will be tag champs. He says The Elite all want to be champs and have that moment. Stoke says that was the good old days but they won't relive those again.

Mina buzzsaw kicks her from behind. Mina ducks a lariat and uraken's her. Mina rolls her into a figure four and submits her.

Thoughts: It wasn't good. Viva's always pretty sloppy and she's just not athletic enough for some of the flips she tried here. Mina wasn't that much better.

Mina goes to leave and The Death Riders music hits. Wheeler Yuta, Shair and Mox come out. Mina is upset.

Zay comes off the top, Shafir catches her and swinging side slams her. Shafir does mother's milk to her and Zay is out.

Thoughts: I'm not a big fan of intergender matches as the men are never smart enough to hit the girls and get the easy pin. Mox talked about people thinking Yuta's hair is fake during this. I think it's obvious Yuta is getting a hair cut in Australia next week.

Yuta teases cutting Dante's hair after then grabs Zayda by the hair. Toni Storm and Orange Cassidy come out. Toni then tries to cut Shafir's hair with scissors. The heels back off and Toni stares them down. 

We see Alex windsor and Jamie Hayter drinking beer. A guy asks if he can join in. They beat him up and hit him with a glass. Jamie then says she knows the name of their team and we see a graphic for "The Brawling Birds".

We see an MJF promo from Dynamite. He says Page will get handled for sticking his nose in his business. He says he hopes Page beats Andrade as he hates Page. He says Andrade winning will be just as fun too as he will lay down the hammer on him. He says he bets Brody King is excited. He says tonight is a fluke and says King wouldn't have had a prayer without Page. MJF says his back is up against the wall and that's when the devil is at his most dangerous. He says he will make King his b!tch.

Thekla vs Brittnie Brooks

Brooks has done jobs on TNA before and jobbed on Dynamite this week.

BB tells Thek to come on. Thek drops her with a forearm twice. Thek does a spider walk and spears her for the win.

Thoughts: It was a short squash and a waste of time.

Brooks is held after by Thek and her crew. Thek whips her with a strap. Thek then does the spider pose over her.

Jon Moxley does a promo. He says KT beat him twice. He says he doesn't believe in failure but iteration. He says no matter what the world puts in front of them, eventually they will succeed. He says Takeshita is not the same kid who came from DDT years ago. He says he evolved and is much different. He says they are both the best. He says both are chasing the dragon and one of them will find it.

Parking Lot Fight - Eddie Kingston, Ortiz & The Rascalz (Dezmond Xavier & Zachary Wentz) vs. Big Bill, Bryan Keith & Grizzled Young Veterans (James Drake & Zack Gibson)

Thoughts: It was entertaining, full of action and a total war but I can't really put this over. There were some really dangerous spots here and I'd be shocked if no one got injured from this. This was totally brutal at times and was full of stuff nobody should ever do.

Roderick Strong is interviewed. He says things haven't been going his way and a change is needed. He says that's why he answered Ciampa's challenge. Mark Briscoe interrupts. He says Rod has what it takes to become the TNT champ and says he believes he has what it takes also if he gets another shot. He asks Rod to give him, his Conglomeration buddy, the first shot if he wins tonight. Rod says thanks for the words of encouragement, but says he's not in The Conglomeration.

Thoughts: It was almost all strikes here. They had some good spots but the three-way's are always a bit hard to manage. What we got was fine. This could have used a bit more time. Ciampa won the title last week and there was no reason for him to lose it here. 

Kyle Fletcher comes out. Kyle comes in. He asks Ciampa how it feels to be All Elite. He asks how it feels to know he will never fill his shoes. He says he's the greatest TNT champ of all time. He says he was looking to take the title from Mark Briscoe but Ciampa changed that. He says he wants to walks into Grand Slam Australia and get the hero's welcome he deserves. He challenges him for the TNT Title on Dynamite. Ciampa holds the title up at him. Kyle says he will find out what the best really looks like.

Overall thoughts: It was a wrestling heavy show as always. Most of the matches were random as always as well. They did an okay job making it seem like the show mattered as some of the stars were here and things were set up for other shows. The parking lot brawl was the match of the night but it was dangerous and I'd be shocked if no one got injured from it. The main was acceptable as well. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 overall as it was alright overall.

Soda didn't look that great here and he didn't do a lot but various kicks. It wasn't great or anything but this was good exposure for Chase.

Thoughts: Three ways are usually messy and when you throw in a bunch of green or lesser talented girls, it's gonna be ugly.

Marie didn't really get to do much here but a dropkick, a lariat and some smaller stuff.

Thoughts: It was a battle royal with pins and submissions. We basically got various spots while there were a lot of people in and then it turned into a 1v1 match at the end. It went a bit long. Everyone to come in, hit some spots then the next person would come in and restart the process. The final 2 of Titus and Cole then did an indy style match which I didn't like. Cole's young and a junior face. I could maybe see him getting more work in the future. Ayala is a bigger Puerto Rican guy and I expect a bigger company to give him a shot. He's more of a standard heavyweight. Iker is kind of your average guy you'd find on the indies. De Windt didn't leave much of an impression on me. Crane listened to my advice - he lost weight and got better gear and now looks a whole lot better. This was average overall and the format was a bit tough to work with.

Thoughts: It was mostly all kicks here and people taking each other to the mat without a ton of flow or teamwork involved. People would hit some kicks, go for a hold, the hold would get broken then the next pairing would get in. It got a little annoying. Funaki didn't look that great here and didn't quite have some of the striking power he used to. It was nice to see some different pairings though.

Thoughts: It got a lot of time to play out. I don't quite love Izzy's corkscrew kick off the ropes spot but it wasn't that bad otherwise. Izzy did fine it was an acceptable main event. Kaito got the win here as expected. 

Kaito then talks on the mic briefly after to close the show.

Overall thoughts: These shows are all basically random and you never know who will show up. It makes it hard to build to but for hardcore fans, it's neat to see some new and obscure names that you'd have to watch different indies to see. The opener was alright. The second match wasn't anything too special but Chase Emery looked good. The women's match was ugly. The rumble was a little tied down by the format, went long and was average. The semi-main was all kicks and ground work and not much else. The main was okay and Izzi James didn't do bad vs Kaito. I wouldn't recommend this one but it was neat to see a bunch unknown wrestlers get a chance to shine and it was nice to see some new matchups. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 overall.
