Mist trips her and Temp la magistral's her for 2. Mist springboard crossbodies him then submits him with la mistica.

Thoughts: The finish was a bit random. Mist just did la mistica when he felt like it and won. It was all flying here. They didn't do any technical or amateur wrestling and there weren't really faces or heels either. They got a little stupid near the end when they busted out the canadian destroyers and poisonrana's. It wasn't for me but it was a bit more tolerable than other matches and I'd say it was maybe acceptable.

The whole roster comes out and celebrates with Mist and Temp then they all pose together while the Mexican band plays and smoke shoots out of the post. Mist then poses with the band.

Overall thoughts: It was a very different show than usual with most of the card being singles and three-way matches. If you like spotfests and matches with a ton of flying, this one was the one for you. But if you are looking for more stories, more realism and more heel/face work, this wasn't it. The second match here is worth seeing as they just executed well at a very fast pace. The opener was okay. The two three ways were much better than they should have been. Maybe the main was okay but Titan/Dorada ran a bit long for me. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 overall and there's definitely a world where this could have been a lot higher had they slowed down and limited themselves.

Thoughts: I had heard it was bad. It wasn't quite as bad as I thought it would be. Lee makes a lot of weird faces and hand motions now and I don't think it's working out as it is supposed to. It was fine when they were hitting each other hard but I'd rather not see this or Lee again. I would just say this was average.

Lee is carried up the aisle after. Yota talks on the mic and then Lee falls over while seated and has to be carried more. Yota says a line about Bushiroad (the company that owns NJPW) selling card games. Yota says they put their lives on the line in the ring. He says he will protect wrestling and NJPW.

He says it's not goodbye but see you later. He says let's enjoy NJPW and Hiromu. Ice gets tared up and puts his hood over his face. Everyone poses and Hiromu is thrown up in the air then powerbombed down.

Yota ended up getting in trouble over his line about the card games.

Overall thoughts: It was an okay show from NJPW. The semi-main was the best thing on here by far. Finlay/Newman wasn't bad. I liked the Oiwa and Shingo tags here and the opener was okay too. Ren/Wolf was the usual House of Torture crap. The main was average. Hiromu got a nice little sendoff here as he is finishing his NJPW run. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 and I wouldn't really recommend anything from here except the semi-main.

Jack step up enzugiri's him. Jack cartwheels into a poisonrana on Parka. Jack misses a corkscrew ssp. Jack is belly to belly overhead suplexed into the buckles. Parka topes him. Parka rolls into a cutter on Jack and Jack takes a neat forward bump for it. Parka does an AA into a spinning slam and wins.

Thoughts: It was the usual entertaining opener. They did some cool stuff and got out before doing too much. Jack did most of the work here and did a nice job.

Parka brings a kid in a mask into the ring after. JBL says it could be the fake El Grande Americano. Parka and the kid dance in the ring after.  

We go to the hospital. A woman is saying to let her baby recover soon and says not to let anything happen to him. We then see Mini Vikigo is in a hospital bed being checked on by a nurse. Mini says it hurts physically but Hijo del Vikingo doing this to him hurts worse mentally. He says he took the name to honor him. He says he hurt his neck and he doesn't know if he can return. He says it's a good thing his mom is with him. His mom finds a note in his flowers that says Vikingo will see him soon.

We see Santos Escobar riding a motorcycle. He says things are still the same and says people are humiliating themselves in public for applause. He says he put Hijo del Dr. Wagner on trial to see if he is worth existing in his world. He says he's not the man he used to be and says he's his ghost. He says he's not here for vengeance or retribution, he is the hands of fate. He then drivers away on a motorcycle.

Las Toxicas (Flammer, Lady Maravilla & La Hiedra) vs Adelicious, Faby Apache & Jessy Jackson

Lady has the black hair, Hiedra has the blonde hair and Flam has the red hair.

Faby dropkicks Lady to start. Faby backslides her into a bridge. Faby superkicks a Toxica down. Ade comes in. She handsprings, backflips and splits. She bridges and kicks Lady. Lady torture rack backbreakers Ade. Ade hurricanrana's her.

Faby top rope dropkicks Hiedra then takes a backstabber from Lady. JJ germans Lady. Ade backrolls Flam for 2 then takes a nasty basement dropkick against the bottom rope. Flam wins.

Thoughts: It was a short but decent bout here. Ade's flying could have been a bit cleaner but she had some highlights here and came off looking good. The announcers really put over Jessy. Everyone kind of got their segment and that was it. These girls have had some bad matches though so maybe it's best this was kept this way. Flam hit a nasty basement dropkick on Ade here.

Original El Grande Americano does a video. He says he's the subject of identity theft and has seen someone running around and impersonating him. He says he's even trying to date a Mexican woman to convince them that he's as authentic as him. He says he's a fraud and an imposter. He says he will go on to win the sword at Rey de Reyes and become the Mega champ. He says Viva El Grande Americano and Viva Mexico.

The Psycho Circus do a promo. Psycho says he visited Panic Clown in the hospital and doesn't know who injured him. He says to stay alert. Clown says they should go watch the match. Dave says he forgot something in the locker room while the other clown's walk off...

We get a video on Los Vipers. They say they have arrived. We see clips of them wrestling. We see clips of Abismo Negro turning on El Fiscal and see their feud. Negro says anywhere, anytime and says he's Abismo Negro. They will fight next week.

AAA World Tag Team Title #1 Contendership Three Way Match - The War Raiders (Erik & Ivar) vs. Money Machine (Colmillo De Plata & Garra De Oro) vs. Los Americanos (Bravo Americano & Rayo Americano)

Plata and Bravo fight. Plata takes him down and stomps him. Bravo kips up and down then armdrags him. Bravo dances, Plata boots him and dances back. Plata takes a double shot down. Oro is held upside down on his head and Rayo kicks him. Los Americanos then dance before The Raiders nail them.

Plato takes a flying headbutt + russian legsweep combo for 2. Ivar spinning high kicks Bravo. Oro is popped up into a powerslam  from Ivar. Plata is thrown into a splash off the top from Ivar. Ivar pins Plata.

Thoughts: It was a random bout but it was full of action and it was an entertaining bout. I had no issues with this and it worked out well. Los Americanos are so much more over there than they are in the US.

The Raiders stare the Psycho Circus after. Then they stare down in the ring. Murder clown comes out and is trying to get Psycho and Pagano to follow him to the back. They all run to the back.

We see The Psycho Circus find Dave the Clown on a stretcher in an ambulance. The ambulance then takes him away. 

Overall thoughts: It was the usual fun AAA Show. Taker keeps it simple storyline wise and lets the wrestlers do their thing in the ring. All roads lead to Rey de Reyes here and they are doing a good job of making that feel like an important event. We had 3 matches here and all were good. Everything was also translated this week which helped make it easier to follow. I'd definitely recommend this and thought it was a good show. I'd give this a 7 out of 10.

WOW Women of Wrestling 2/14/2026 Season 6, Episode 19

WOW Women of Wrestling 2/14/2026 Season 6, Episode 19

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/02/wow-women-of-wrestling-272026-season-6.html 

We are still somehow in Freemont Street in Las Vegas, NV.  

Animal Instinct (Goldie Collins and Catarina Jinx) vs Xena Phoenix and Sierra Sands

This is Sierra Sands' debut.

SS and Goldie trade some basic holds. SS hammerlocks her. Gold wristlocks her and SS cartwheels out. SS wristlocks her. Xena double axe handles her off the buckles. Cat comes in and Xena takes her down. Xena rolls her and fireman's carry takeovers her. Xena then suplexes her for 2.

Gold stomps SS in the corner. Gold fisherman suplexes her for 2. Gold snapmares her and sliding leg lariats her. Cat does a spinning leg drop on SS for 2. Cat misses a corner spear and SS sunset flips her. Cat hits a brazilian kick on SS.

Cat rebounds off of Gold's back and codebreakers SS for 2. SS knees her in the face. SS tiger frients and Xena is tagged in. Xena hits a big lariat on Cat and codebreakers her arm. Xena flying lariats Gold and takes her down. Xena arm throws Cat and corner splashes her. Xena vader bombs Cat for 2. Cat throws Xena out.

Cat rolls up SS with Gold's help and pins her.

Thoughts: I didn't like the finish. This is Sands' debut - put her over. Instead, she took the fall. That's not a great way to introduce her. Xena looked fantastic here and had her best WOW showing yet. She looked a lot like Kendal Grey and hitting amateur wrestling moves clean at a fast pace. I was alright with the match otherwise but the finish was a bad call.

Goldie and Cat get on the mic after. Cat says they proved time and time again they are the top competitors on WOW. Cat says they demand a title shot against Miami's Sweet Heat. Gold says they are Animal Instinct and are the best in show. 

We get a video on Drucilla Blade. She says the world betrayed her. She says she learned people don't change, they destroy and they reject what they don't understand. She said she found her voice in training and says her swords put out words her mouth can't. She says she got a call from her old training partner, Genesis. She says it doesn't hurt Gen to have another pair of eyes on her. She says she will master the craft of wrestling even though she's new to it. She said she couldn't stand by and watch, she's unbreakable and ruthless. She says she can't wait to show the world why you aren't worthy of Genesis' trust. She says this story doesn't end with her, it ends with the monster you made in Drucilla Blade. 

We get a Samantha Smart video with some sci-fi graphics. She says The Enlightened rise as the world left no choice.  

Drucilla Blade vs Scout Parker

This is Drucilla Blade's debut. Blade has Genesis with her.

Blade boots her in the gut and side headlocks her. SP side headlocks her. SP goes up and over her then trips her. SP rolls her up for 2. SP flying shoulders her then low enzugiri's her for 2. Gen takes a swing at SP then Blade leg lariats her. 

Blade bangs SP's head off the buckles and hits corner spears. Genesis chokes SP with her nunchucks. Blade misses a corner splash and SP rolls her up for 2. Blade upkicks her then hits kicks to the chest and back.

SP hits leg kicks on Blade then swinging facebusters her. SP monkey flips her then does a 2nd rope spin kicks to the head for 2. Blade running headkicks her for 2. Blade talks to Scout. Scout elbows her down then standing moonsaults her. Genesis gets on the apron and distracts the ref. Scout topes Genesis outside. Scout grabs the nunchucks and swings them at Gen. Blade hits Scout from behind. Scout 619's her under the bottom rope outside. Scout buckshots off the top rope and lariats Blade to win.

Thoughts: Scout was wrestling like a face here and did some flying moves we don't normally see her do. Those helped this one out. Blade didn't look that great in her debut. She mostly does kicks but they don't look that good. I didn't love Genesis being the lackey here for her either but this promotion does not see the main event talent in Gen that I do. I would say this was acceptable but Blade losing in her debut was dumb.

Monsters and Metal do a promo. Daisy says she's had it with Top Tier. She says she has seen it all and is tired of them cheating. She says just because they cheat doesn't mean they are winners. She says they have been training to get where they are so they can show them they aren't the best team in wrestling. Fury says she had to put a stop to them tearing up Little Daisy when she saw her the first time and said that's when she knew they weren't good people. She says she doesn't like their cheating either and says cheating isn't really winning. Daisy says they will talk to McLane to get permission to do the dirty work on them. Lane says they won't be knocked down or stay down.

Next week's show has Tormenta vs Penelope Pink for the title.  

WOW Trios Tag Titles - Top Tier (Coach Campanelli, Gloria Glitter and Kandi Krush) (c) vs Monsters and Metal (Daisy Lane, Fury and Chainsaw)

They all fight to start and 4 of the 6 go outside. Fury corner splashes Glitter and running knees her there. Fury corner hip attacks her the fisherman suplexes her for 2. Glitter hits a double throat thrust. Fury chokes her on the ropes with her legs then pumping knees her for 2.

Fury is double teamed in the corner. Fury sunset flips Krush for 2. Krush flying back elbows Fury then throws her down by the warm. Krush elbow drops Fury.

Glitter sentons Fury for 2. Glitter flying back elbows Fury off the 2nd rope for 2. Coach hits knees on Fury. Fury does a sky high on her. Chain finally gets in and lariats Krush. She knocks over Glitter and corner splashes her. Chain samoan drops Krush for 2. The heels triple team Chain and triple pump kick her. Chain fires up and the heels pound on her. 

Krush grabs a chair and hits Chain for the DQ. Chain no sells the chair shot. Chair knocks the chair down

Thoughts: This was really disappointing. This feud has dragged on for months. This should have finally been the day when the titles changed hands and it wasn't. We got a lame DQ finish instead. Now we'll probably have to wait another few weeks to month for the faces to finally win. The match was fine but the ending blew it, especially since it didn't even bother Chainsaw.

Fury gets on the mic after. She says Top Tier will do anything to keep the titles. She says she has been with WOW longer than they have known WOW. She says she used to be a Heavy Metal Sister and was a Psycho Sister before. She says the one thing they knew how to do was break the rules. She says if they to break the rules,  they want a Full Metal Massacre Match next time where anything goes and there's no time limit.

Overall thoughts: The main was the big story here and it was a disappointment. Monsters and Metal lost by DQ which will force another Monsters/Top Tier match. It's not that I don't want to see it but this program has gone on a long time and we need a resolution. Elsewhere, Sierra Sands and Drucilla Blade lost in their debuts for no good reason. Xena Phoenix looked really good in her match. We had no sign of The Fab Four on this show (though they were mentioned) and it seems like they might be trying something different with Samantha Smart. I'd give this a 4 out of 10 as there were some questionable decisions here.

AEW Collision 2/14/2026 Grand Slam Australia

AEW Collision 2/14/2026 Grand Slam Australia

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/02/aew-collision-272026.html

Mox lariats him for 1. KT forearms him down for 1. KT pumping knees him from behind for 2. The bell then rings and we go to a 20 minute draw.

Thoughts: I thought it was obvious is was going to draw when they announced 5 minutes were left. They rushed things a bit at times and didn't have the best match possible. I didn't like the high angle ddt on the neck not meaning that much and they no sold some at the end. It was mostly all strikes. I just thought it was average for the most part and thought some kind of clean finish would have helped this a lot. The commercials hurt this some too. I don't think we've seen the end of this feud.

Mox piefaces him after. KT forearm him and hits a falcon arrow. 

Kris Statlander says she was made for the title and bled for it. She says she has more blood to give. Thekla says she doesn't care and says Kris can cry or try to ruin her life. She says AEW became toxic tonight and walked into her trap. Kris says she had everything she wanted and she will be everything she doesn't want. Kris says karma isn't a b!tch but a cosmic killer.

AEW Women's World Tag Team Title Match - Babes Of Wrath (Harley Cameron & Willow Nightingale) (c) vs. MegaBad (Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford)

HC jumps on Meg and is sent into the corner. HC boots her there. Ford is sent into Meg. Willow splashes both. HC and Willow hit splashes together then HC hits punches while Willow hits lariats in the corner. Meg drops WIllow with a forearm and bangs HC's head off the buckles. She knees her in the gut.

HC misses a top rope swanton. HC jawbreakers Ford. Ford stunners HC and Meg flying lariats HC. Meg topes Willow and Ford misses a top rope moonsault. HC then backslides Ford and pins her.

Thoughts: Harley was in her home country and wasn't losing here. They didn't full hit some of the shots. I didn't like the canadian destroyer not meaning much and they did little to protect Meg's size. The match wasn't bad but the logic could have been better.

Lena Kross comes out and hits a TKO on Harley. Meg spears Willow. Meg and Ford grab the tag titles and pose with them and Kross. Kross had supposedly signed and I guess they finally are going to start using her. 

AEW World Title #1 Contendership Match - Andrade El Idolo vs. Adam Page

Idolo shoulders Page over and poses on him. They trade chops. Idolo does a handstand for some reason and is dropkicked. Idolo is thrown into the ropes and poses on them. Page boots him out. Page slingshot plancha's him.

Idolo is seated up top and is chopped. Idolo is facekicked on the apron. Idolo 2nd rope flipping russian legsweeps him. We go to PiP break and return. Idolo side headlocks him. Idolo piefaces him and they trade forearms. Idolo facekicks him. Page spinning lariats him.

Page pop-up sitout powerbombs him for 2. Page hits forearms on him on the apron. Page sliding lariats him there. Page top rope diving lariats him. Idolo hits triple suplexes for 2.  

Andrade does a top rope moonsault into a standing moonsault but Page gets his knees up. Page triangle springboard lariats him. Page misses a slingshot plancha and Andrade misses a triangle springboard tornillo to the outside. Page fallaway slams him into the rails.

Thoughts: Page was always going to win this and did here. It was an okay match. They didn't overdo it too much and they made it work a little better than I expected. We'll see what they do from Idolo here on out as I don't think he's going to be in the main event scene.

Loser of fall loses their hair - Orange Cassidy & Toni Storm vs. Death Riders (Marina Shafir & Wheeler Yuta)

The faces jump the heels in the crowd. OC beats up Yuta in the stands. Toni and MS then fight in the stands too. Yuta low blows OC. Yuta chokes OC with a shirt. OC is sent into the rails. The heels double team Toni. Yuta piledrivers her onto some kind of padded box.

Yuta pounds on OC. Yuta flying knees MS on accident. OC topes MS. Toni germans Yuta then corner hip attacks him. OC hits an orange punch on Yuta. Toni storm zero's Yuta and pins him.

Thoughts: It was an intergender match and had the usual issues that those have with the women being pushed as equal to the men when the men could beat them easily. Yuta had been growing his hair long so it's not surprising he lost. I didn't like the heels not being able to win 2v1. I don't get why The Death Riders didn't come out either and I didn't like Toni and OC fooling around at times here.

Mina Shirakawa brings a stool out and wants to cut Yuta's hair. Luther is dressed up like a barber. Yuta tries to run. Jon Moxley talks to Yuta and seems to tell him to take his haircut. 

Mina cuts Yuta's hair and he says Mina is hurting him during it. Toni then cuts the hair. OC then shaves the hair. Luther then cuts the hair. Toni then cuts it more. The segment ends before Yuta gets all of his hair cut, which always sucks.

AEW TNT Title Ladder Match - Kyle Fletcher (c) vs. Mark Briscoe

We go to PiP break and return. A ladder is bridged on the apron to another ladder. Mark uppercuts Kyle on the apron. Kyle is laying on the ladder and Mark froggy bow's him there. Mark climbs the ladder. Kyle powerbombs him onto a ladder leaning against the ropes. Kyle superkicks Mark twice. Kyle corner facekicks him.

A ladder is bridged between the buckles and the ladder. They fight near it and on it. Mark jay drillers him through the ladder. They both climb the ladder and Kyle goes down. Kyle then pops back up. Kyle brainbusters him off the ladder in another super dangerous spot. 

The set up 2 ladders and fight on them. Mark hits headbutts. Kyle pushes Mark off the ladder. Kyle then grabs the title and wins.

Thoughts: It was a super dangerous match as expected. They sold very little as usual and Mark almost broke his neck twice here. I'm glad this is the end of this series as I don't think either can survive another one of these matches. The finish oddly was mostly safe though and was a bit weak. I didn't like this at all.

AEW World Title Match - MJF (c) vs. Brody King

MJF goes to lock up then stalls outside. King shoves him down and out. MJF boots him in the gut. King hits a big lariat then chops him in the corner. King gorilla press slams him. King misses a corner cannonball. MJF bangs King's leg off the post. MJF taunts the crowd.

MJF grabs the Dynamite Diamond Ring, which he technically lost the rights to and the ref stops him from using it. King forearms MJF down to the apron. King hanging sleepers MJF from the ring. King over the shoulder piledrivers him for 2. 

King is tripped into the ropes. MJF pulls off King's kneepad and eye rakes him. MJG bites the knee. King elbows him on the apron. MJF punches King in the knee. MJF tombstones him on his back on the apron. MJF heatseekers him over the 2nd rope and pins him.

Thoughts: MJF's leg work could have been a bit better here. I'm not sure if they needed all the time they got. MJF got the win as expected. I thought the pace could have been a bit faster too. It was okay but not great. I don't get why MJF still has the Dynamite Diamond Ring when he's no longer the owner of it.

Adam Page comes down and gets in MJF's face. MJF holds the title up at him. Page goes to hit him and MJF drops down. 

Overall thoughts: It was a better Collision than usual, though it was a special. We got basically got a PPV level card here. The opener was average and them going to a 20 minute draw limited things some. The women's tag title match wasn't bad but Bayne could have been protected better. I liked Page/Idolo. The hair match had the usual intergender issues that brought things down for me. The ladder match was a dangerous match as expected with both guys taking awful looking bumps on their necks. I hated that. The main was okay but had a slower pace to it and I couldn't buy that King would win. I'd give them a 6 out of 10 here as they did try to stack this show even if I didn't love everything on it and it was much better than the usual Collision cards we get.

TNA No Surrender 2026 2/13/2026

Kaz says this is more important than a wrestling match. Ryan says he's a huge fan but says legally, once he gets in the ring, he still gets paid. He tells Kaz to have a good show and says to crush it. He offers a handshake but Kaz ignores it. Ryan walks off. 

Kaz says he's thrilled with TNA management as he signed a new contract. He says a substantial raise came with that and says TNA got a TV Deal and is trending every week. He says Daria Rae told him he will be in the world title picture where he belongs. The crowd chants, "we don't care". 

Kaz says when Mike Santana stole his title, he wrestled it with a repaired right hand. He said he fought like a man. He says Mike has a target on his back and he'll be watching the main closely. He says Leon Slater is the X-Division champ and says he can utilize Option C if he wants. The crowd chants, "wrap it up". Kaz says their dad should have wrapped it up. Kaz says he told Alan to get out of the ring. Alan grabs the mic.

Thoughts: I don't love Alan losing on his return here but Kaz couldn't really lose either here. It was a lose-lose booking wise. What we got was fine and the story of Alan going for the upset worked. Ryan walking away from his match was one I hadn't seen in a while. 

Arianna Grace and Stacks talk in the back. Grace says it's the night for them with both of them in title matches. Grace asks if he knows what this means. Stacks says he will handle business like he always does and Grace will become the champ he knew she could be. Grace says they will be the best power couple in wrestling ever.

Thoughts: It was a random match for the most part. The cameramen were horrible for this one and we barely caught some of the eliminations. It was nearly unwatchable due to the poor job the cameramen. Jody winning this was random.

Thoughts: The match was ugly. They had a lot of sloppy moments here and nothing really looked that good. They had a nice story here with Trey trying to win the title on his own but they did little to build up to it and got nothing out of it. I also didn't get the logic here as Grace was yelling at Stacks about cheating during his matches yet she helped him cheat here.

Thoughts: I'm not sure if Mance was the right guy for this one as he's more serious and is pushed as a tough guy. It was a nice little showing for Mike who can do amazing things at his age, but I don't love Mance getting beaten up by a 60+ year old man. Ryan Nemeth would have been the best opponent for Mike.

They go up top again. BDE bites him then hits a panama sunrise for 2. EY pushes the ref into the ropes and BDE is crotched up top. EY piledrivers BDE and pins him.

Thoughts: I didn't like the panama sunrise being kicked out of. There's no excuse for that in this level of match. I wouldn't say either guy losing really matter that much but BDE could have maybe used a win a bit more since he's a new fan around here. It would have been better without the shenanigans.

Thoughts: The match wasn't that good as expected though it wasn't a total disaster. Grace didn't win without reason and at least she has been on the show a lot. Neither girl is that good so it honestly doesn't matter which one of them is champ. Grace winning should lead to some stuff with Santino.

Nic rolls up Leon for 2. Nic fameassers Leon for 2. Leon leg lariats Nic. Leon swanton 450's Nic and pins him.

Thoughts: The match had no real build to it going in and was totally random. This match was bogus. Mike Santana ditched Leon to go fight Steve Maclin yet somehow, Leon was able to survive the whole System and Nic Nemeth with help from Moose to win. It wasn't believable and it was a total burial of the heels.

Overall thoughts: The show wasn't built to well at all. The main was basically random and lots of matches here had little to no build. The show was acceptable overall and beat my expectations some, but the promotion really does have talent and starpower issues that do not look like they will be fixed anytime soon. I'd give this a 5 out of 10 and wouldn't recommend it. 

Juggalo Championship Wrestling 2/12/2026 Lunacy Episode 70

Juggalo Championship Wrestling 2/12/2026 Lunacy Episode 70

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/02/juggalo-championship-wrestling-252026.html

Joe Dombrowski and Veda Scott are on commentary. 

Vince Russo comes out to talk. Vince says he loves that there's a mic in his hand and that you will never know what he will say or do. He says he loves that nobody can stop him. He promises us something we won't see on the other shows. He calls out two people who will be the refs for tonight. 

He brings out the refs and says they are locals from Albuquerque. He says he went into the locker room when he showed up today and said he smelled the putrid smell of vomit. He says that means someone puked, someone didn't wash their gear or Vader is in the house. He says there was no puke, no dirty gear and Vader is dead. He says he saw them. 

He says they are suppose to be representatives of JCW. He says they look like they don't bathe and says they look like Cheech and Chong. He says they are supposed to represent him and the company. Russo says they are fired after tonight and tells them to get out and hit the showers.

He says now all about Mr. Anderson, the new JCW champ. Mr. Anderson comes out. Russo says there as a small problem with what happened after his match last week. He says James Storm will be out for a couple of months. He says we won't have the old Mr. Anderson, who was a troublemaker and caused problems for people. He says he was an @sshole when they worked together in TNA. 

Russo says he wasn't in charge then but is in charge now. He says we won't have that behavior now and need some changes in attitude. Anderson tells the fans to shut the f*ck up. Russo says there's a code of ethics. He says Ken doesn't dress like a champ and complains about him using the f-word. He says everything Ken does is a reflection on him. He says Ken needs to clean up his act and be championship material.

Ken says he had a previous boss who wouldn't let him do the stuff he wanted to do and his name happened to be Vince (McMahon). Russo says he doesn't need to be corporate but needs to fall in line. Ken tells him he's not doing any of that sh!t ever. Russo says that's fine but says he's the boss. Ken says he's not as long as he has the title. Ken then leaves.

The commentators talk then Vince Russo interrupts. He says he will never come back to this sh!thole.

The commentators then run down the card.

Big Vito talks to The Brothers of Funstruction. He says they are always clowning around and he's tired of them. Vito says he wants to have fun tonight but says to drop the bomb when you need to drop the bomb.

Thoughts: It was short and nothing too special. Facade came out, Mack got distracted and Mike picked up the win. Facade and Mack have been battling lately so this will continue that program.

Thoughts: It was another shorter bout. What we got was fine, but we didn't get a lot of it. J won which should continue the feud with Haley J.

Jasmine St. Clair tells her crew that this is war and says Vito and PCO can't make fools of them. She says she wants Mickie Knuckles' blood on her hands. She says to spread their name with the way of pain.

J-Rod and Alice Crowley talk. J wants a match with Dani Mo. She says she likes what Alice is doing around here and reminds her of herself. She says money is power and Alice has the money so she has the power. She asks if she will get her the match but Alice doesn't respond.

Coach's Corner

Jonathan Coachman says he wants to address one of the biggest weaknesses in JCW - the use of stupid gimmicks. He names The Outbreak and says they are so mentally challenged that they identify as zombies. He says the thing that is so bizarre about their manager Barnabus is his mouth. He says they kidnapped Big Vito to get what they wanted and threatened to eat Vince Russo. He says The Outbreak slept their way through training and are finding out the hard way that it takes more than a stupid gimmick to become champ in JCW.

JCW World Tag Team Title Steel Cage Match - The Brothers Of Funstruction (Ruffo The Clown & Yabo The Clown) (c) vs. The Outbreak (Abel Booker & Jacksyn Crowley)

Barnabus The Bizarre does the intro for his team as usual. 

BoF attack The Outbreak in the corner to start. The Outbreak are it with a leg lariat in the corner. BoF try to climb out and get stopped. A Clown takes a top rope russian legsweep. A Clown is thrown into the cage then the other is thrown into  the cage. The Clown's hit stereo back elbows to the gut and punches. The Outbreaker are sent into the cage but they rebound and hit stereo lariats.

Thoughts: It's a shame we didn't get a clean finish here. What we got was alright but sadly we didn't get any blood. 

The 2 new wrestlers (Choppa City - Bruce Wayans and Atiba) attack The Outbreak and celebrate. The Outbreak do the spider walk and The Brothers lock Choppa City in the cage. Choppa City then climbs out and runs. One of them gets on the mic and says they are on the house. They say the C in JCW stands for Chop. Barnabus screams and says, "no more f*cking games".

Big Vito tells Mickie Knuckles and PCO that they gotta beat The Monster Corp and stomp them and take charge. Mickie says her and Vito have tension between each other. She says they gotta talk about an extra incentive in desert after and pulls Vito towards her like she wants to kiss him.

We get clips of a 2011 JWO vs New Age Outlaws match. The JWO end up winning. 

Big Vito gets on the mic before his teams match. He tells everyone to wipe the clown paint off their faces as they are jack@sses in Albuquerque. He says they have no balls and says let the match begin.

St. Claire Monster Corporation (Kongo Kong & Mr. Happy) vs. Luciano Family Enterprises (Mickie Knuckles & PCO)

Jasmine St. Claire is with her crew and Big Vito is with MK and PCO.

PCO sitout moonsaults Happy off the top. MK holds down Happy and PCO barely hits a top rope moonsault to win on Happy.

Thoughts: It was quick and all brawling as expected here. PCO's really gotta stop doing the top rope moonsault as he's not getting enough air. I thought this worked as a freak show type of match that didn't overstay it's welcome.

PCO chokeslams Happy after. Jasmine leaves with her crew and Mickie kisses Big Vito. 

Vito hears the song and sees the ICP logo after. Vito gets upset.

Overall thoughts: It was pretty similar to the other episodes. It's a very easy show to get through, it's never really boring and something is always happening. They also just make you want to see what happens next. You aren't going to great matches but the matches are enough to get the point across of whatever story they are doing. I liked the show though there was nothing great here. I'd give it a 6 out of 10.
