LM52 Lucha Libre Mexicana on Discovery Espanol 8/9/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/08/lm52-lucha-libre-mexicana-on-discovery.html

Leobardo Magadan and Alberto Zamudio are our hosts.

We see Los Hellbrothers arrive in a car.

The hosts talk for a while.

We see Electroshock of AAA fame arrive.

Estrella de Oro, Rey Fontes and Hijo del Alebrije vs Los Hellbrothers (Chessman, Charly Manson and Hell Boy)

4 of the 6 get sent out to start. Hell and Hijo go at it. Hijo tilt-a-whirl armdrags him then flying headscissors him out. Hijo then lays on the ropes. Oro and Manson get in. They chop each other. Oro throws him by the arm then shoulders him over. Oro handsprings into the ropes and armdrags him off of it. Oro then flips off the 2nd rope and armdrags Manson out.

Los Hellbrothers beat up their opponents outside. Oro gets chaired. Oro is triple teamed in the ring and Manson throws a chair at his chest. Oro's leg has a chair chaired into it. Manson rips Oro's mask while Hell holds Oro. Oro is triple stomped.

Hijo comes in and Chess chairs him. Hijo then gets his mask ripped. Hijo is thrown out. Rey has a chair thrown at his head by Manson. Rey then gets his mask ripped up quick, exposing almost his full face. Chess chops Rey then Manson and Hell get chops in also.

Hijo has a chair chaired on his ankle in the ring. Oro gets powerbombed through 2 chairs across from each other. Oro is bridged on the apron and Manson dropkicks through the ropes. Rey is swept and sent off the apron. Rey's head is banged off the post. Rey and Oro get slammed off the stage onto two sets up steps. Manson then gets the win over Hijo. Manson seemingly taps him out with maybe a leg lock but the camera's miss it.

Thoughts: This was a total buttkicking here. Oro's team got a little in early and nothing else. They got the crap kicked out of them. Rey got dropped hard through a bar table and then landed hard on the floor. It did what it was supposed to and put Los Hellbrothers over as rough heels.

Oro's team all gets their masks taken off after.

Oro's team is down and unmasked in the back. La Puerquiza Extrema go up to them and cover their faces up.

Pirata Morgan is in his locker room. He talks to someone in a hood. We can't see who that person is and that person doesn't talk.

Tonali, Demonio Infernal and Pirata Morgan vs Silver King Jr., Electroshock and Dr. Wagner Jr.

Wagner and Morgan fight in the crowd. Electro and Silver are foot choked in the corners. Electro and Silver are choked over the top rope. Wagner's head is banged off a table. Silver is sent into Electro's gut head first. Wagner's mask is ripped up and Morgan bites his head. Morgan kicks Wagner in the chest then rips his mask more.

DI is double teamed and takes open hand shots from Silver and Electro. Wagner and Morgan fight on the stage near the crowd there. Morgan's head is banged off a table. Tonali takes a flapjack. Silver top rope moonsaults Tonali for 2.

Electro corner lariats DI. DI misses a flying move in the corner. Electro's head is banged off the buckles and DI chops him in the corner. DI headbutts Electro. Silver does a neat death valley driver on Tonali then Tonali flying kicks him. Wagner shoulders Tonali over.

DI superman punches Morgan when Wagner moves on a double team. Electro lariats DI over the top then topes him. Wagner la magistral's Mogan. Rey Bucanero comes out, pulls the ref out and sends him into the pot. Wagner is shocked. Bucanero and Morgan double stomp Wagner. Tonali joins in and Wagner's team wins via DQ.

Thoughts: It wasn't that good. Wagner and Morgan did their weak brawling in the crowd as usual. The rules didn't make much sense here as the ref didn't mind people using chairs on each other. Electroshock didn't impress here either. Rey Bucanero debuted here and was the hooded guy Morgan talked to.

Electro covers up Wagner after and is beaten up too. Bucanero gets on the mic and has words for Wagner. Bucanero then does a cheer with Morgan. Wagner is beaten up more. Morgan talks on the mic. Bucanero bites Wagner's fingers. Silver King and Electro try to help Wagner. Morgan talks on the mic more and does a cheer with Bucanero. Bucanero throws Silver off the stage and Morgan beats up Wagner in the crowd to close the show.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 matches here. Los Hellbrothers beat the crap out of their opponents and looked vicious doing it. That was all squash. The main was the usual Wagner/Morgan match with them doing bad brawling in the crowd. That match didn't impress. We didn't get much follow up from last week and still haven't gotten any on Sagitarius from a few weeks ago. This promotion is all about pushing the Wagner/Morgan feud and that was definitely the focus here. I'd give this a 4 out of 10. It wasn't that good and there's nothing you need to see here.

Overall thoughts: It was an alright show overall. There was nothing that particularly stood out as great and there were a lot of average to acceptable matches.

The last show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/05/wow-women-of-wrestling-5302026-season-6.html

Thoughts: It was acceptable. They could have hit some of the shots cleaner but they followed the formula of the heels being in control, the faces making their comeback and then the big finish with some dives at the end. I would not have had The Enlightened lose though as they are established and their opponents aren't.

Top Tier does a promo. Coach says she wants Glitter to get a definitive win over Keta Rush tonight and accepts nothing else.

Thoughts: The execution could have been a little better but the idea was right and it wasn't bad.

Coach Campnelli comes in. She says accidents happen and people mistakes. She says she assessed the problem and it's something that can be fixed. She says 2 is company and 3's a crowd. Kandi Krush chairs Glitter then Coach and Krush stomp Glitter.

Keta Rush comes out to save Glitter. She dropkicks Coach and Krush out.

Thoughts: That's a big turn there. I assume Glitter's going to be replaced because Top Tier has to have at least 3 people in it.

We go to break then Coach Campanelli and Kandi Krush are interviewed. Coach says she sought out the weak link and found it. She says she won't accept anything but wins. She says if you want to be in the greatest team in wrestling, you need to step up.

Destiny Diesel does a video. She says she feels ready and say she won't lose with Kalaki the Island Girl by her side.

Gloria Glitter and Keta Rush are interviewed. Keta says she's the bully buster and has GG's back. GG says she's sorry and Keta helps walk her off.

We hear some quick lines from all the girls in the 4-way tonight.

Next week's show has Best 4 Business vs Ashley Blaze and Tara Strike for the tag titles.

#1 Contender's Fatal 4-Way Elimination Match - Tormenta vs Reina del Rey vs Paola Mayfield vs Santana Garrett

Rey hits shots on all 3 opponents to start. Rey then shoulders 2 of them over. PM runs at her, misses her and just falls over. Rey knocks Tor off the apron. SG plancha's PM and Tor from the apron. Rey bangs SG's head off the rails and bangs PM's head off the apron. Tor is sent into the post.

Abilene Maverick trips SG. Ab faceshoves SG and knees her in the gut. SG's face is raked on the top rope and has her head banged off of it. PM flying forearms her in the corner and broski boots her. SG swinging facebusters her.

SG boots her and hits flying forearms. SG forearms her down. SG cartwheel back elbows her in the corner and bulldogs her for 2. The Enlightened come out. Samantha Smart throws her book and PM gets it. SG superkicks the book into PM's face (not really as it got blocked by the book) and SG pins PM.

Thoughts: It was ugly. Little was hit cleanly here and Mayfield was absolutely awful. Nothing she was involved in looked good. They also messed up the finish. Santana winning was really the only result that made sense here.

The Enlightened do their pose at SG after and walk off.

Overall thoughts: It's good to have WOW back. 2 months with no new eps is not acceptable in 2026. There's no reason they couldn't have rented a building like hundreds of other indies do and film from there. The opener was acceptable and Glitter/Keta wasn't bad. We had a big turn after with Top Tier dumping Glitter. The four-way was ugly with lots of things not hitting and Mayfield looking bad. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as it was average overall, but I'm just happy we got a new episode.

We get a Motor City Machine Guns video. They say they are here and are amongst the greatest tag division of all time. They say only the strong survive and everyone else is in their sights.

Thoughts: I didn't like OC's screwing around here. This is a tournament match and he didn't take it super seriously while still winning. It was nice to see Sydal again after a long layoff. The match was fine but OC's screwing around hurt it.

Jon Moxley tells Claudio he's a machine in the back. Mox says he's naked without the Continental Title. He says he's ripe for the pickings. He says he has a soft spot for Jack Perry but says he's on the wrong team tonight. He says he has a wild hair on his @ss for The Bang Bang Gang. He says it'll be a bad night for him and his friends.

Thoughts: It was a short squash with The Rascalz winning as expected. Solo got a chant from the crowd.

Wes Lee says they won last time they were here and says no one knows about being a mile high like them. Zach says they prove time and time again that they belong in AEW. Wes says AEW is where the best wrestle. Wes says they are one of the best teams and Reed says they can handle it in singles action. Reed says he's facing Mike Bailey tonight. He says he's dressed and ready and asks if they can do this right now. Zach tells Mike to get this action and smoke.

Mike Bailey vs Myron Reed

Mike side headlock takeovers Reed. They sweep each other. Reed rolls over him and they armdrag each other. They catch each other's kicks then shake hands.

Reed misses a top rope 450. Reed runs at him and Mike hits a flipping slam off of it. Mike pins him.

Thoughts: Mike's selling of the leg could have been better but this was an okay match. It was mostly all flying and they didn't do the dangerous head-dropping moves with it that generally bring those kinds of matches down. Reed continues to stand out on Collision and it's getting harder for them to justify not pushing him while so many similar guys like him get pushed.

The Dogs do a promo. Clark talks about their recent wins over The Bang Bang Gang. Clark says Finlay will beat the tar out of Jay on Dynamite.

Finlay says all friendships are dead and anything goes when the bell rings. They say it doesn't matter who you are, The Dogs are off the chain and says they let the dogs out.

Persephone and Shida do a promo. Pers says Maya World's luck runs out and says her wins over them were flukes. Shida says she will right the wrongs from Redemption when she beats Maya. She says still the best is Shida.

Thoughts: It had some good and bad points to it. Hyan almost got it real bad on the finish here on a botched TTD. They gave Hyan and Maya a lot of shine here but I thought it was average overall.

Kevin Knight is interviewed. He says he knows what Darby Allin wants. Kevin says he wants to talk about what he wants. He says maybe he will grant Darby's wish and make him a casualty.

Thoughts: It was an alright tag. The Riders did basic heeling. Austin was having a hot night here and did well on his comebacks. It didn't get a ton of time but I liked what we got.

Jack flying knees Yuta after and points at Mox.

Mike Bailey does a promo. He says Grand Slam Mexico was a dream come true. He says he's grateful for all of it but he's not the International champ. He says he's locked in.

Jack Perry and The Bang Bang Gang are in the back. Jack throws a water bottle. He says he was told to stay away from gangs as a kid. He says The Gang seems alright though. He says it's him and Mox 1v1 for the first time ever with no one else out there on Dynamite. He says all it takes is one loss and Mox is no longer the Continental champ and is out of the cup. He says he will show him what a sweet kid is all about. Juice says Yuta would have taken a 310 to Yuma if it weren't for The Dogs. Juice asks what Finlay and Clark will do without their buddies in The Continental Classic (he means The Cup). They then do the "guns up" line.

Eddie Kingston does an inset promo ahead of his match. He says he won the first Continental Classic and will now win the first Continental Cup. He says O'Doyle doesn't rule, he does (it's a line from an Adam Sandler movie).

Jake forearms Eddie. Eddie uraken's him twice. Eddie does a stretch plum and Jake taps out.

Thoughts: It was the usual Eddie match with him doing his favorite Japanese moves. Jake brought the power and bullied Eddie around some with that. It went about as well as it was going to go and was okay, but it maybe got a little more time than it needed to get. This ran past 10:09PM.

Overall thoughts: It was mostly all random matches here as usual. I liked all the men's matches here. The squashes were what they were and Maya World's match didn't impress. Reed/Bailey was the match of the night. We didn't get a ton of storyline developments here which isn't unusual. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 as we had a lot good wrestling. This was an okay show overall, but it didn't need to go past 10PM.

MLW Fusion 8/8/2026 Blood and Thunder

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/08/mlw-fusion-812026.html

Shotzi low topes SB outside and knocks Lady over in the process. Lady goes up top and corkscrew moonsaults SB. Lady pins SB.

Thoughts: It was nice to see Lady win in her debut. The match was acceptable. They cut away during the finish and I think Lady may have landed badly on SB. The work wasn't anything too great but it was better than it could have been.

Corinne Joy says she's making her debut and will make sure it's the only thing anyone is talking about.

We see the same video from last week of Matt Riddle telling Killer Kross he owes him. Kross asks what he owes him. Matt says he will know when the time is right.

We get a video on CONTRA Unit.

AA is catapulted into the buckles. Joe double jump twisting crossbodies him. Joe john woo's him. Joe spinning lariats him and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a bit one-sided and Joe won as expected. What we got was acceptable with Joe's offense looking good and Alan getting a few things in before going down.

Glasgow Boys On Top are interviewed by Rich Bocchini. Rich says rumors say GBOT took out Trevor Lee. Joe says he did take Trevor Lee out. He says he has a surprise and says he's the one who beat up Teddy Long as well. Labron Kozone then comes out and security tries to stop him. Kozone pulls a chair out and GBOT tell security to keep Kozone back. Joe says it will be GBOT on top.

Thoughts: It was acceptable. Kross isn't the most exciting guy and Kojima is a little bit more limited than he used to be. I think they got a decent final result out of this and it's not like it was bad or anything. Kross won as expected here.

They bow to each other after. Kross gets on the mic after and Matt Riddle comes out. Kross says Kojima has been an inspiration and it's an honor to face him. He asks him to come back. Riddle holds up Kross' arm. Riddle then says, "and remember, you owe me". Kross carries out Scarlett on his shoulder.

Overall thoughts: We only had 3 matches here. All 3 were acceptable but none of them were must see. I'd say the main was the best thing on here, but they were all pretty close quality wise. There wasn't a ton going on otherwise and this definitely could have used some more promos or backstage segments from some of the other wrestlers. I'd give it 5 out of 10 and say it was acceptable overall.

NWA Powerrr 8/8/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/08/nwa-powerrr-812026.html

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

Kyle Davis interviews Daisy Kill and Big Cuzzo. Kill says Cuzzo's name in a fancy way like his. Kill says Eric Smalls cost him a title and he'll rectify it. He tells Alex Misery to bring his freak friends out. He tells him to bring all he has as it won't be enough. Kill says the title is coming home with him and it won't be enough.

Kill walks up the buckles, tries to moonsault but flips into a superkick. Kill gets a 2 count on him. Eric Smalls comes out. Brandon McCord gets on the apron. Kill takes McCord's hat. Bonez gets in the ring and Cuzzo pulls him out. Eric Small punches Kill in the nuts then Alex handspring cutters Kill. Alex top rope splashes Kill and pins him.

Thoughts: It didn't get that much time and had a lot of shenanigan here with multiple people getting involved. The camera's mostly missed the biggest spot of the match with Alex moonsault into Kill's superkick. This was average.

Eric Smalls taunts Kill after and stomps him. Cuzzo grabs Eric by the head and turns him around. Cuzzo powerslams him.

Aron Stevens does a promo with Mike Mondo and Slade. Sade says he's the greatest junior heavyweight champ in history. He says Damian Fenrir found out 3 times that the only option he is is to tap.

Mike says Idol will find out that it's his time and it's gut check time.

Kratos does a promo. He says the locker room has changed in the NWA. He says his problem is he doesn't brag enough. He says he debuted and became US Tag champ and a 2x World Tag champ.

Buster lariats Jack and Eddie down. Eddie jawbreakers Drake but Eddie huts himself doing it while Drake no sells it. Drake then pins Eddie with a foot on the chest.

Thoughts: It was an unusual one with Drake winning after Eddie jawbreakered him and knocked himself out. They had the right idea with Jack and Eddie trying to double team and dropkick Buster and Buster naturally used his weight on them. Jack and Eddie sold a lot here. It was average.

It's Me...The Carson Drake Experience

The Slimeballz are this week's guests. They are still dressed up in colonial gear covered in green slime. Drake says The Slimez are the only team that could hide an Easter egg from themselves. Drake says The Slimez are his 2nd favorite team in the NWA. Sage says they are still the presidents and says The Hardway didn't actually beat them. Drake then shows them clips of them getting beaten.

Pope eye pokes him outside and throws a chair in the ring. Pope misses a chairshot outside. Carn hits Pope in the gut with a chair and is DQ'd.

Thoughts: If you've seen one Pope match, you've kind of seen the all. He doesn't reinvent the wheel. Carnage wasn't supposed to be the face here but came off like one. His offense looked good like the usual. The finish was lame though as Carn got DQ'd for a chairshot. I thought it was average.

The Light then jump Carnage from behind. Carn is held and Pope hits a big punch on him.

The NWA Women's TV champ does a promo.

NWA Women's Title - No Limits Match - Tiffany Nieves (c) vs Natalia Markova

Tiff comes out using a walker. She is not in wrestling gear. Kyle Davis interviews Tiff and asks if the match is happening. Tiff says she submitted all paperwork and is unable to compete and defend her title. She says she's not cleared. She said she was told she will be stripped of the title. She says she knows it wasn't what Markova or the fans want. Tiff says it's only fair that she faces her when she is medically cleared. Tiff then shows her a wad of cash to bribe her.

Nat says she doesn't want her to be stripped of the title, she wants to beat her for it. She says Tiff never beat her for the title and should be ashamed of calling herself a champ. Tiff says the fans deserve a high quality match and says she wishes someone would seize the opportunity. She then looks at Gretta and asks if Tiff is scared of Gretta. Tiff says if Nat beats Gretta tonight, she will drop her title tonight. Tiff says when Gretta beats her, she gets to pick the match she wants at NWA 78.

Thom Latimer does a promo. He says he's been in this job 24 years. He says he has wrestled everywhere and won pretty much every title here. Thom says he wants to help the next group of talent and trie to help El Dragon Nihan. He says it got him stabbed in the back. Thom says he's betrayed. He says he will face him. He says Nihan will know his name and fear it.

Silas Mason does a promo. He says he and Kerry spent a lot of time together over the years, time he took to figure out how he thinks and what his habits are. He says he saw him run away when things went badly and that's what happened here. He says Kerry is the only who did this and tried to put a target on his back due to the title. Silas says no one will put a target on his back. He says no one puts a target on him and says he will hunt Kerry down.

No Limits Match - Natalia Markova vs Gretta

Nat then gets hit with a kendo stick by the new person in TV-MA. Gretta chokeslams Nat through a table and pins her with her foot on her chest.

Thoughts: We didn't get the match we were promised with this one so it was always going to be disappointing. We didn't get a lot here and TV-MA weren't real effective in this. It was a shorter bout. Gretta is green and a bit sloppy but they are protecting her and making her look like a force.

Overall thoughts: Kill/Misery was too short and was average. Buster's tag match was also average and had an unusual finish. Pope/Carnage didn't stand out and Carnage showed Pope up here. We didn't get get the main event we were promised which sucked. We instead got Markova/Gretta which was a short bout with interference where Gretta lost as expected. I'd give it a 4 out of 10 as nothing we got here was that good and we never got the main event we were promised. This was not good.

Stardom 7/28/2026 5★STAR Grand Prix 2026 Day 6

Thoughts: It had some sloppy moments here that made this hard to defend. And it's a shame because there were some good parts to this one.

Poi and Anou seem to have a serious talk after but I don't know what was said. Poi is given like a plaid skirt and an elbow pad.

Aoki air raid crashes Saya and lariats her down. Aoki flying lariats her. Aoki air raid crashes her again and pins her.

Thoughts: Saya loses yet again. Her booking is absolutely bizarre and it's hard to understand what they are going for here. It was competitive and it felt like either person could win. I don't know if Aoki was the right person for this one and I thought it was missing something.

5STAR Grand Prix 2026 Blue Stars Block B Match - Yuna Mizumori vs. Ami Sourei

Thoughts: They didn't sell much here but I did like it. It was two girls throwing bombs at a fast rate. There were a lot of lariats and big slam here. They really got the best out of each other. I thought it was good.

Thoughts: It would have been a solid heavyweight match but they had to do the face/heel stuff and the outside brawling, which took away from it. It was still alright enough overall, but this would have been good if they had a straight match.

Thoughts: Kid did her usual match where she works the leg and does stretch mufflers. Saya didn't get a ton of offense in on this one and didn't fly that much. The fighting in the stands wasted a lot of time. I didn't think this was that good.

They cat fight after. Kid and Saya then talk to each other on the mic. Saya leaves and Kid talks a a bit more to close the show.

Overall thoughts: They had some better matches here than on the other nights and the girls tried a bit more because this was in Korakuen. The opener had some sloppy moments. Hart/Rian was fine. I thought Kurara/Aoki was missing something. Yuna/Ami was good and was the match of the night. Itoh/Lady C wasn't bad. Tora/Maika was alright but would have been good without the outside brawling. Suzu/Miyu was alright as was Konami/Utami. The main event wasn't that good. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 and would say it was a good show overall.
