WWF Madison Square Garden 1/17/1994

WWF Madison Square Garden 1/17/1994

This is a fairly notable house show as it had a tag title match referenced on Raw, the last WWF match of Ludvig Borga and a Royal Rumble right before the actual Royal Rumble. 

Ludvig Borga vs Rick Steiner

LB misses lunges at Rick. Rick side headlocks him then LB backdrops him out of it. Rick goes out and LB poses. LB pulls Rick in over the top and side headlocks him. Rick backdrops LB. Rick top rope diving bulldogs LB and LB kicks out at 1. 

Rick armlocks LB. LB hits knees to the gut in the corner then Rick hits a big clothesline for 2. LB drops Rick with an uppercut to the gut. LB drops him with punches then headbutts him. LB lariats him. LB top rope diving lariats him for 2. Rick powerslams LB for 2 then armlocks him.

Rick back elbows him then elbow drops him for 2. Rick running lariats him for 2. LB flying lariats him for 2. LB hits punches on him outside of the ring. Rick fights back and chairs him in front of the ref. The ref doesn't care and counts both guys out.

Thoughts: The finish sucked as Rick nailed LB with a chair right in front of the ref and the ref didn't care. It wasn't a bad heavyweight bout otherwise. Borga outstiffed Rick which you don't see a lot and Rick took it easier on him than he does jobbers. As stated above, this was Ludvig Borga's final WWF match. He had a weird run as he was pushed hard from the start and on TV, you never really got that big singles match nor did he really put anyone over before leaving. I thought he was a underrated talent as he had a good look, was a believable heavweight and was low key funny on promos.

Borga slams him and legdrops him outside. Rick hits punches then they fight up the aisle to the back.

WWF Intercontinental Title Match - Razor Ramon (c) vs. Jeff Jarrett

RR was feuding with IRS at the time, so it's odd to see him defending against JJ here. JJ takes the title before the match and poses with it. 

JJ stalls a bit and is shoved down on the lock-up twice. JJ then goes out. JJ stalls out there, pulls RR out and sends him into the post. He then drops him throat first on the rail. RR's head is banged off the steps. JJ sends him into the post. JJ flying back elbows him then stomps him. JJ 2nd rope fist drops him for 2.

JJ sleepers him and gets on his back. The ref checks RR's arm 3 times and RR gets his arms up. JJ eye rakes him. RR blocks a hiptoss, Jeff flips off of him and is caught with a chokeslam in an athletic spot. RR gets a 2 count on him. 

RR hits punches and drops JJ. RR then fires up. JJ begs off. JJ goes for the crossbody, RR ducks and JJ hits the ref with it. RR goes for the razor's egde. Shawn Michaels comes out and saves JJ. RR punches Shawn off the apron. RR then hits a razor's edge on JJ. The ref counts 2 and Shawn pulls RR off of JJ for the DQ.

Thoughts: It was a slower but decent bout with JJ controlling him with rest holds and RR making his comeback before the interference. Shawn made it known he had issues with RR during this time period so him coming out makes sense. Neither guy needed the loss here and this protected both.

Shawn superkicks Razor outside after and helps JJ up. RR comes in and sends Jeff out. He tries to hit Shawn with the belt but Shawn escapes. Shawn teases squaring off with RR but leaves.

Harvey Wippleman comes out and mouths off at Howard Finkel. He says he's like everyone in NYC - nothing but a loser. He calls the local sports teams losers. He says he doesn't know how people can live in a nasty place like NYC and calls Memphis a better place. 

Harv puts over Adam Bomb and says no one has a chance to win tonight but him. He says Adam doesn't have a title as no one has the guts to face Adam. Fink tells him his time has run out.

Yoko irish whips him and Tat goes into the ref. Fuji gives Yoko the salt bucket. Yoko gets blocked and Tat hits him with the bucket. Yoko kicks out at 2. Tat climbs the top rope, Fuji hits him with his flag then Yoko hits 2 legdrops to win.

Thoughts: This was very lazy with Yoko going to the trapezius hold spot THREE TIMES. I don't know if I've ever seen that before. Tat fired up on his comebacks at least but this was boring. 

Yoko banzai drops Tat twice after while refs come to break it up. Yoko stomps him and hits him with the flag. Tat is stretchered to the back and Yoko beats him up while he's on the stretcher.

Kid springboard flying lariats Jac then spin kicks both heels. Kid then spinning heel kicks both. Kid goes up top and Polo crotches him. Pierre superplexes Kid. Kid is down and Jac flips Pierre onto Kidd off the top. Pierre then pins Kid to win.

Thoughts: It was a big upset here with MJ/Kid losing the tag titles on a house show just days after winning them. It was a long bout with them doing two hot tag segments and kind of doing the same match twice in one bout. Kid and MJ as a team definitely brought some Rockers memories and I'd like to see them team more. Kid has absolutely been one of the WWF's best signings as he's having the best match on every show he is on. I liked this overall and thought it was good. I'd like to see a rematch.

Thoughts: It was a long Royal Rumble at 70:06. Owen winning was a surprise especially since he had been having some troubles lately. I don't think it was the best booked Rumble. The big threats like Diesel and Adam Bomb were gone in the first half of this. It took a while for the ring to get filled up, it got emptied then it took a bit to fill it up again. I liked that they followed up on Marty/Shawn, Razor/Shawn and Crush/Macho. They did try to put Crush over some here. They also had a bit of filler here with Jim Powers, Sgt. Slaughter and Scott Putski being in this. It was an average Rumble. We mostly just got punches and boots and that was only so exciting. 

Overall thoughts: It was a longer show. The finish on Borga/Steiner sucked but it wasn't that bad otherwise. Jarrett/Razor was a slower and decent bout. Yoko/Tatanka was a lazy match. The tag title match had some good work in it and a rare surprise house show title change that was referenced on Raw. The main was a 70 minute long house show Royal Rumble. The match was average and Owen beating Fatu in the end wasn't exactly the finish I had in mind. 

The local fans got a treat here as they ended up seeing Borga's last WWF match, a rare house show title change and a Royal Rumble. You definitely have to give them an "A" for the card here. I would give this show a 6 out of 10 as it was a rare noteworthy house show and the gave out one of the biggest matches of the year on a show. I would say it was okay overall.

The Cal's tie up Stig and MB together and lift them for a double submission. Stig and MB submit. Elementa's team wins the fall and match.

Thoughts: It didn't look that great on paper and wasn't much better in reality. Dulce was probably the best wrestler in this one. If you are were looking for big highlights or standout moments, this one wasn't it. It was quite a generic match and it went a long time. 

Yutani vs Flip Gordon

Flip bodyscissors rolls Yut forward for 2. They fight on the buckles. Flip hits a green bay plunge on him for 2. Flip hits a cross rhodes on Yut and pins him.

Thoughts: They put in a good effort here. They flew around and kept it pretty competitive. It didn't quite get the time to be great or for them to do something long and drawn out, but we got a lot of action. This was alright.

Overall thoughts: We oddly didn't get to see the main event on this show. We also did not see the Mei/Starlight Kid tag but the fact that we got to see Maika/Olympia was a win. Maika/Olym was average and they only got about 8 minutes or so. The trios match was pretty generic with no one but Dulce Gardenia really getting to shine. Flip/Yutani was alright and was the high flying and athletic match you'd expect, but it didn't get the time to be great. I wouldn't really recommend this one as nothing was that great here and most of CMLL's top stars were not on this show. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 and would say it was below average.

AAA on Fox 3/7/2026

AAA on Fox 3/7/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/aaa-on-fox-2282026.html

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

We see various wrestlers arrive.

Thoughts: It started off well then they had a couple of botches that brought this down. The botches were particularly an issue since this is the first time we saw Dinamico on WWE's version of AAA and it makes him look worse than it does Vikingo. They had the right idea here. Dinamico isn't a super impressive flyer or anything but what he does is enough. It was definitely an "underdog goes for the upset" style match.

Dominik Mysterio congratulates Vikingo after in a video. He says next week will be different and says Vik won't become anything in this life. He says he will show him what it is to be a real champ and says he stay king of the luchadores. 

Lady Flammer does a video and says she's the Reina de Reina's champ. She says she's the longest reigning champ ever and the greatest champ in Mexico. She says because of it, she was put in WWE's newest game. She asks where her competition is. She challenges anyone to come to Rey de Reyes and take her title from her. She says they will fail and go up and flames.

Thoughts: I was shocked El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. didn't appear here to go after Santos. Everyone else sure did though with Pagano, The War Raiders and El Fiscal getting involved. Iguana hit a cool diving headscissors into an armdrag outside. I didn't really get some of the logic of Clown helping out Iguana then working against him later. It was a wild match and it was entertaining. 

Pagano and Clown talk in the back and say they are going after The War Raiders. Clown asks where Murder Clown is. Pagano says he was with him in the locker room before he went out. Clown then wants to go find him. Murder is missing and Clown brings up Dave and Monsther Clown getting attacked. Pagano asks if he is involved. Clown hears a noise and boots a door down but finds nothing. He then goes into another down and Murder Clown is there and he's okay. Clown says they need to group up and work together. Murder and Clown do a cheer. Pagano is hesitant but joins in.

El Grande Americano vs. La Parka

GA backs up Parka in the corner. Parka ducks a chop and dances. Parka flying forearms him. GA waistlock takedowns him for 2. Parka rolls him up for 2. GA sweeps him then Parka sweeps him back. They armdrag each other. Parka avoids an armdrag and dances.

Parka step up enzugiri's GA off the apron. Parka misses a moonsault off the stage and then he is dropped knee first on the commentary table. GA lariats him on the floor.

Parka is sent into the steps and pounded on. GA kneebreakers him and dragon screws him. GA bangs Park's leg off the post.  

GA works the knee. Parka sunset flips him for 2. GA chops him in the corner and boots him. Parka rolls up GA for 2. GA dragon screws Parka for 2. GA hits a northern lights suplex for 2. GA tries to unmask Parka. GA is thrown chest first into the buckles. They trade shots. Parka dropkicks him and lariats him. Parka pop-up drops him. Parka flapjacks him then suplexes him for 2.

Thoughts: GA worked the leg here for the first part of this then forgot about in the 2nd half which hurt this. Parka still sold the knee long after GA stopped working on it. The dirty finish didn't help things out much. I can't say I liked this all that much and it also went a little longer than it needed to.

Santos Escobar comes out and looks at the Rey de Reyes sword. El Grande Americano II then comes out and look at the sword.  Grande, Grande II and Santos then compete for cheers after.

Overall thoughts: It was maybe one of the weaker editions in-ring wise of AAA. Vikingo/Dinamico had the right idea but the botches hurt Dinamico more than they did Vikingo, and Dinamico wasn't even responsible for some of them. The four-way was a bit wild with lots of people interfering but it was entertaining. We got more teases on the situation with Psycho Clown's buddies being attacked. The main wasn't that good. Grande did leg work on Parka for the first half then gave up on it in the 2nd half while Parka sold. It also had a dirty finish. Rey de Reyes begins next week, so because of it, nothing really got resolved here storyline wise. Next week is when we will probably start to get some happenings. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 overall. It was okay but the wrestlers dropped the ball that the bookers had passed them here. 

WOW Women of Wrestling 3/7/2026 Season 6, Episode 22

WOW Women of Wrestling 3/7/2026 Season 6, Episode 22

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/wow-women-of-wrestling-2282026-season-6.html 

We are still somehow on Freemont Street in Las Vegas. The amount of shows they got from this set of tapings is pretty wild. David McLane and Nigel Zane are on commentary.

We see clips from last week's show and see the interviewer looking for Santana Garrett after she was kidnapped. She find her locked in a closet. Security helps free her. She's all shaken up and doesn't know what happened. She has to be helped out of the room. 

Top Tier comes out to talk. Coach says she has to give it up for Monsters and Metal. She says Fury is observant and got it right when she said Coach would do anything to keep the trios titles. She says they can do the Full Metal Massacre Match and says they will have to be put into the ground to get the titles out of their hands. 

We get a video on Destiny Diesel. She says she's where she has to be and says Kalaki the Island Girl is her mentor. we then see Diesel's house in San Diego. She says her family pressured her to be a strong woman. She says the freight train lifestyle was for her. She says she was intimidated when getting into WOW. She says her mom is on the journey with her. She says the freight train will come knock you down.

Destiny Diesel and Kalaki the Island Girl talk. Kal says they have Animal Instinct tonight and says to focus and concentrate on the plan. She says they will do it. Diesel says she's nervous but she wants her opponents to know she will run them off the track.

DD back elbows Gold then dropkicks Cat in the corner. DD flying forearms Cat. DD throws Cat out. Cat rolls up Kal for 2 and Gold tries to help her get the pin. Kal rolls up Cat with help from DD and pins her.

Thoughts: It wasn't that good. Everyone hit a lot of weak shots here and since strikes made up most of this, it was a problem. I suppose the faces needed to win this one since they just became a team but I don't like to see Gold and Cat losing when it's not needed.

Kal and DD talk on the mic. DD says she's glad to be here and thanks her for teaching her new moves and giving her confidence. Kal says she's honored to have her by her side.

Animal Instinct do a promo. Goldie says the faces are copycats and would be nowhere without their finisher. Cat says they want a rematch and says they will go down. Cat says the hunt is on.

We get a Fab Four video. They say they are here to take over and have more class and championships than you. Pink says Las Vegas isn't Beverly Hills.

Next week has the Full Metal Massacre Match for the WOW Trios Titles with Top Tier vs Monsters and Metal.

Thoughts: It was easily one of WOW's better matches in a while. Cruz is a good face. She's good looking, she plays to the crowd, she has some fire and she moves well. Pink is also one of WOW's better girls. The crowd got into this and they had a full back and forth wrestling match here. They did kind of run out of gas near the end of this but they did a good job with this one otherwise. Pink won but Cruz gained some respect despite losing and really should be pushed as one of their top faces. She's just too far ahead of everyone else not to be.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 matches here. The main got a ton of time though and it doesn't feel like we were robbed of anything. We got some set-up for next week's Full Metal Mayhem WOW Title match, we got personality videos on Gabriella Cruz/Destiny Diesel and we got some follow up on Santana's abduction last week. I thought it was a decent show overall mostly carried by the main event. I'd give it a lower 6 out of 10.

Thoughts: FTR won as expected. It was an athletic match as expected and basically a similar version of what The Bucks vs FTR will be. The Rascalz brought the flying here and FTR were their heel foils. I liked this and thought it was a good bout.

Thoughts: Just LOL at them having Ciampa lose here. He's supposed to be this big signing and he has already done his second job....to Daniel Garcia who is in the same spot he was in 5 years ago. The match was competitive and fine but the result wasn't good.

Mark offers a handshake. TC slaps the hand and they get angry with each other. Ciampa and Mark walk out together. Ciampa then throws Mark into the tron and hits mounted punches on the stage. Ciampa pumping knees Mark and rubs Mark's bandana on himself.

She says Kris wears sunglasses now because she can't look her in the eyes and says she wears leather as she wants to look like Thekla.

She says everything Kris is afraid of is everything she is.

$200.000 Dollar Four Way Tag Team Match - Private Party (Isiah Kassidy & Marq Quen) vs. The Outrunners (Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd) vs. The Swirl (Blake Christian & Lee Johnson) vs. La Faccion Ingobernable (Dralistico & Rush)

Zay 2nd rope diving canadian destoryers Lee then Blake gets double stomped off the top. Lee takes an electric chair cutter and is pinned.

Thoughts: It was very fast paced. There was lots of people coming in and out, little selling and tons of action here. This was exactly what you would think it would be. Private Party won here after losing in their big return. 

Jetspeed are interviewed. Kevin says Wednesday was one of the hardest nights of his career as he lost the World Title match. He says he knows there will be another chance. Kevin then says he lost the trios title match. Mike says their team lost and they will get the titles back with Mistico at AEW Revolution. Mike is also challenging for the TNT Title for some reason and says he has what it takes to be a double champ. Swerve Strickland and prince Nana come in. Swerve says when Kevin has his foot on the neck of an opponent, he doesn't put on the pressure. Swerve says he has to become a killer if he wants to walk amongst killers.

Lena and Toni then reverse the figure four. MArina Shafir comes out, suplexes Toni and rolls her under the ring. Meg flying lariats Mina. Lena jackhammers Mina and pins her.

Thoughts: It was a very fast paced tag and this was fine. I don't know if Meg was really protected here enough. Lena being taller than Meg hurts some of her gimmick. It feels like so much time has been wasted with Meg as she is now on her 3rd partner (Ford > Shafir > Kross) in a short span. Lena fit right in though in her debut here.

Mark Briscoe is in the back. He says something hasn't felt right since Ciampa has been here in AEW. He says the Ciampa that jumped him is the Ciampa he remembers. He says shame on himself for not trusting his instincts and letting his guard down. He says shame on Ciampa for jumping him like a coward. Mark asks why Ciampa aligned himself with FTR.

Thoughts: It was all squash here with The Dogs roughing up the jobbers and winning easy. 

We return from break and get a black screen. We then return to Toni Storm talking. Toni wants Marina Shafir in a match with everyone banned from ringside. She says she then wants her AEW Title back. She says she will see Shafir and only Shafir at Revolution.

CC euros the arm. KT forearms him. CC hits a euro flurry. KT pumping knees him then hits a raging fire for the win.

Thoughts: I was surprised to see KT win but I guess they needed to get the Don Callis Family a win in this feud. It was fine with CC working the arm and hitting euros. KT got a black eye from this. He didn't get to overdo it here and that made for a better match.

KT and Mox argue after. Hechicero nails Mox from the side and KT says "don't need it". Mox then attacks KT and Hech. CC joins in. They all fight to close the show.

Overall thoughts: This was almost all wrestling here and it definitely wore me out a little. I liked the opener. Ciampa/Garcia was fine though I didn't like Ciampa losing. Ciampa turned heel after. Swerve won a squash. The Dogs made their debut as a unit and Kross/Meg also debuted as a team. We had a four way tag which was what you would expect and a solid main with Claudio and Takeshita. It was a better show than usual and probably not one you can skip if you follow AEW. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 and it was an okay show overall.

WWE NXT Vengeance Day 2026 3/7/2026

Thoughts: They had some creative weapons spots here. While they didn't bleed, they each took some stiff weapons shots here. I was surprised to see JP lose the way she did. She was being pushed strong for a while here and that has gone away. I liked this match.

Thoughts: I thought it was a good match. The parking lot fight was pretty aggressive and they did a good job of making it seem like they hated each other. Both guys busted out new offense and really tossed each other around. This was easily one of Tony's better performances and it was better than I expected.

She says she should be the main event this year and says she will main event Mania next week.

She says she beat Sol Ruca in 6 seconds and was about to beat Zaria before Sol came in. Stone interrupts and says the goal is to find her next challenger. 

Zaria comes out. Zaria says Jacy is delusional about her saying she almost beat her. She says she doesn't have the title due to Sol and deserves another shot. Fallon says Zar and Sol aren't Jacy's problem. She says Zar only has herself to blame. Lainey says Zaria is maybe the problem and never makes her moments ount. She says the problem is she fails when she gets the opportunity. 

Zar says neither of them know what the rest will do. Sol Ruca comes out. She says she sees 2 souls that will be hers soon. She says Jacy is at the top. She says she trusted Zar and Zar forgot how good she knows her. She says she knows her insecurities and how to break her heart. She says the NXT Title is all hers. 

Stone says Jacy will defend her title a week from Tuesday against Zaria and Sol. Fatal Influence then nails Sol. Zar pulls The Influence off and grabs Jacy. Sol does a sol snatcher to Zar. Reid running knees Sol.

Tavion and Dempsey talk in the back. Lexis King asks if Dempsey will join them. He says no. King says he's one of them and says their dads were champs. He says they p[aved the way for them for failed Olympians and influencers can take their spot. King says this is who they are and says Dempsey should ask imelf when he will start running away from who he is. They leave. Tavion says they gotta stop putting up with this. Tavion says they should team up as NQCC one more time. They agree on it.

Thoughts: King's whole gimmick was that he didn't want anything to do with his dad and now it's the opposite. That doesn't make much sense.

Thoughts: It was hard to watch as the lighting was pretty dark. They made it a bit more brighter during it but it was still rough to watch. I think this would be really hard to watch in anything less than 1080p. They kept this short and sweet for the most part and it was acceptable. 

Fatal Influence talk in the back. Jacy is upset about the triple threat. She says she has to be the 3rd wheel in the ZaRuca breakup. Reid tells her she will figure this out and find a way. Jacy isn't buying it. Reid says she should take care of Sol on Tuesday. Jacy suggests Fallon take care of Zaria but Fallon says she has a match already.

RS kicks Joe in the crotch and tornado ddt's him for 2.

Joe is nearly sent into the ref and low blows RS when the ref can't see. Joe hits a standing ovation on RS and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a pretty generic main for the most part. They played it safe and didn't do any wild spots or any table bumps. The big story was Page coming out and seemingly trying to screw Saints. The match was acceptable, but this was a TV match, not a PLE main event.

Overall thoughts: I liked the opener. Dion/Tony was easily the best match here as they had an aggressive brawl inside and outside of the arena. The crowd loved Tatum/Izzi but it didn't do it for me. Kelani/Lola was too hard to watch due to lighting issues and they kept it short. The main was very generic and safe and maybe better suited for TV than a PLE. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 overall. It didn't look that great on paper and was just average overall.

Atlantis took a bad looking belly to belly into the buckles and did some offense he doesn't usually do here. It was acceptable but the structure and story wasn't really there for this.

Thoughts: I wasn't a fan of this. It was just a dumb match where they did random stuff for the most part. They both did flips early. MD got dropped face first on the apron then moonsaulted Hech off the entrance way. They got back in and none of that meant much. Hech then grabbed an armhold for a bit, MD canadian destroyers him for 2 and they fought more before MD won. This match was so easy to do too with the technical Hech and the high flying MD.

MD talks on the mic after then poses in the crowd.

Overall thoughts: The first half of this wasn't much of note but I liked what we got of Kato vs Titan. Mistico's match was okay and maybe the best thing on here. Atlantis/Averno was acceptable but it wasn't what it could have been as the story wasn't there. The main had very poor structure and they really just did whatever they wanted in the second half of this. I'd give this a 4 out of 10 as I thought it was a bit of a below average show and shockingly, it was the guys who work together all the time who had the biggest problems bringing the quality.
