Thoughts: It got a lot of time to play out. Ami's team kind of got buried here as HATE and Suzu couldn't even get alone yet they were still able to beat them. The story of this one was Suzu trying to be buddy-buddy with HATE and HATE having no interest in her. Suzu is now making her weight part of her gimmick, which I don't think is a good idea. It was acceptable.

Thoughts: It was an alright tag. They kept it moving and Kog kept the comedy to a minimum. We didn't see much of anyone here because of the little time this got. Akira in particular got little in. Suzu winning was a bit surprising since it was her second match of the night.

Suzu talks on the mic after to Kid. Kid talks back and gets fired up some. Suzu talks more and puts her belt in Kid's face then leaves. Kid then talks more.

Hina gets a 2 count on Han. Han wristclutch backdrops her and pins her.

Thoughts: I say pretty much the same thing in Hanan's singles matches. She tries but she's a very average talent. She doesn't really botch anything, but she doesn't excite either. Hina's in a similar position. Put the two of them together and you get an average match like this. This got too much time and just never got anywhere close to turning into something great.

Hanan talks to Hina on the mic after. Hina also talks on the mic to her and is disappointed about losing. She leaves. Hanan then talks more and does the STARS pose with her stablemates.

Overall thoughts: It was a different Stardom PPV than usual. They were at a smaller arena, they didn't have big matches lined up and they didn't have as many matches as usual. 

The opener was average. Syuri/Matoi was a lot better than I expected and was mostly technical wrestling. Suzu's match with HATE was different as she tried to work with them to no avail. Maki Itoh's match was different but not serious. Rian's match was fine as was the 8-woman tag. The semi-main and main were both average. 

There was nothing you would really need to see here. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as I thought it was an average show overall. I don't think there was a clear match of the night here.

Thoughts: They did a lot more than what we usually get in these women's matches. Both girls were trying to do their best stuff here and both put out good efforts.

The girls from the show all come out as Olym gets a belt for winning Universal de Amazones and as pink streamers fly.

Omar then closes the show.

Overall thoughts: The tag matches were mostly all the same. They were all tornado tag rules, people came in and out as they pleased and there weren't much story or logic. The opener was easily the worst match on the show. I would say the main was the best thing on here as the girls really put more effort into it as usual. There was nothing must see on this one. I'd say this show was acceptable enough and I'd only give it a 5 out of 10 total.

Thoughts: The Guns should probably have won here since it was thier PPV debut. And it's a 5-match series, so both teams are going to win and lose during it anyway. It was an okay match. The switch from the Tailgate Brawl to the PPV was a bit of distraction. They didn't do anything to out of the norm here to really put this over the top.

Thoughts: It kind of went as I thought it would with them both doing some cheating and Nick winning in the end. CJ didn't do all the wild stuff Nick usually does which helped things somewhat. It was acceptable enough and they had some of the logic of this down.

Nick gets on the mic after. Nick says he beat CJ for the 2nd time and a blast of fireworks goes off.

Kofi's team grabs the titles after as Band's team poses. Swerve drops his title instead of handing it to Page and Kofi/Creed hand their titles over to King and Band after.

Renee is on the stage and introduces us to the newest AEW member. They have some kind of giant old school clock. Ilja Dragunov comes out as expected. He's a good wrestler and he'll have a lot of good matches. I don't expect him to be a ratings draw and I worry AEW will get him even more banged up than he usually is.

1 point - Kazuchika Okada and Ricochet

Thoughts: This was obviously taken off of NXT's Iron Survivor Challenge...but I love that match so I'm not complaining. It didn't quite get enough time, which is not something that gets said a lot with big AEW PPV matches. I think this could have been expanded upon in a lot of ways with various stories, but at least it didn't overstay it's welcome. It was good. Like a lot of multi-man matches, you had people coming in and out randomly to do a spot then swap out with the next guy. It had a lot of action but wasn't as crazy as I had expected it to be. Will winning this as champ doesn't really do much to advance stories while it writes off the other guys for the time being. They said there would be a sudden death here if needed but oddly, we didn't get to it. I'd be down for seeing this one again. I think this might be better if the winner has to reach ___ number of points. Then, it can go as long as it needs to go.

Cope offers Will a handshake after and Will accepts it. Cope seems to motion that he wants the title still. Will poses with the title to close the show.

Overall thoughts: It was the usual very long AEW PPV. It went 4 hours and 15 minutes (plus the hour pre-show) and if you stayed up for this, you were up until 12:15AM. It's nice of them to try and give the fans their money's worth, but it's an endurance battle to get through these and it takes up too much time.The only match I didn't like here was The Young Bucks' match. The wrestlers didn't go all out for the main here but the main was a nice tryout for the concept. I'm sure the next time they do that match, it'll be insane, but today was not that night. This PPV had a real weak build going in but AEW is also just a more-wrestling oriented promotion and the stories are usually secondary to the action. I'd say the main was the match of the night. I'd give this a 7 out of 10 total and it was a good show.

Thoughts: It was acceptable. Hart and Skye stuck to superkicks as usual. I was almost surprised Divine Dominion won here after all the losses they took, lately. 

The Don Callis Family (Jake Doyle, Josh Alexander and Wardlow) vs Alex Breeze, Papi D and Rhys Maddox

Rhys is from ROW and they pronounced his name wrong.

Josh forearms RM, germans one jobber and lariats the other over the top. Jake forearms a jobber. Jake corner spears RM. Josh drops RM back first on the apron then crossbodies his back. 

Wardlow grabs RM by the hair. RM tries weak slaps. War hits a big lariat on him. War powerbombs RM. War powerbombs Alex. War then powerbombs Papi twice. The heels then stand on the jobbers chests and pin them together.

They said Jay White just got cleared to be in this.

Yuta pinned Colten with a rocket launcher from Claudio to win this match. Claudio did a very long giant swing on Orange during this. Marina Shafir and Willow Nightingale both got in the ring during this. This really wasn't announced until it happened and I'm not sure why. They had a very fast and rushed pace here to the point that I don't think it could have gone much faster. What we got was alright, but it didn't really have the time to be anything special.

Everyone ended up fighting after. 

Best of 5 Series, Match 1 - FTR (Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood) vs The Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin)

Sabin back body drops Dax. Sabin hits mounted corner punches on Cash. Cash atomic drops Sabin and chops him down. We are told there's 30 seconds until the PPV starts. The show then ends before the match finishes.

Thoughts: We didn't see the ending here. I get the idea of making people order the PPV to see the end of the match, but for people who can't do that, it's a problem. And it is a very carny tactic.

Overall thoughts: It's a pre-show so it's a bit tough to rate. The women's tag was acceptable. We had a quick squash with The Don Callis Family. The 12-man tag was super rushed and fast paced. It was alright but it didn't get to be special. Having to order the PPV to see the end of the main event may have been an inspiration to some to order this, but it also meant people who aren't ordering the PPV are out of luck. If you are seeing the PPV, you'd have to at least see the main event of this one. I thought it was average otherwise though.

NWA Powerrr 10/17/2026

Kyle Davis interviews Colby Corino in the ring. Kyle says he doesn't know why he's here. CC says all he has been thinking about is NWA 78, where Kerry Morton beat him.

Kerry Morton comes out with an unknown girl. Kerry tells Kyle to get out of the ring. Kerry says CC is asking for sympathy and he thought his daddy taught him better than to do that. He says the girl with him is his personal ring announcer and she takes a while to introduce him.

Thoughts: It was beginner level wrestling work wise but it was a decent showing for both girls. No one botched anything and it's a definite improvement over SV's other appearances. Bobbi has personality and if he she can ever pull it together in-ring, she will get somewhere.

Big Ty does a promo. He says when he pulls up on your block, you need to pay attention. He says he's watching and says when you turn around, he will be there. He says he will get you when he gets you and says to pay attention when it comes to Big Ty.

He says they both lost the match and he wasn't trying to make him look bad. He says they will talk when he is cooled off.

PB Smooth and Effy vs Axton Ray and Shawn Carlson

Pastor C-Lo is with PB Smooth. I think this is Shawn's NWA debut.

Effy and SC trade waistlocks. Effy hip attacks him and atomic drops him. Ax and PB get in. Ax chops him and PB no sells it. PB throws him in the corner and chops him. Ax limbos out of a lariat and is thrown down by the leg. Effy walks the top rope and diving lariats Ax.

Thoughts: Big upset here with Ax pinning PB. It was a bit of a mess and we had a lot of different things going on. I don't like PB taking the fall when Effy was here.

She says maybe she just got worked by Nattie. She says she's her big sister and will clean up her mess with big sisters do. She says they will retain the tag titles.

He says he's got the guys. He says if anyone's got a better deal, they should consider The McCord Collection. Brandon says he can get them anything.

The Hardway come in. Dalton says they need to talk. Jack Vaughn says he will handle this and says they need to talk.

Gretta vs Ruby Red

This is Red's NWA debut. TV-MA is with Gretta.

Gretta piefaces her and headbutts her down. Gretta dumps her over the back from the bearhug position. Gretta then walks on her.

Gretta reverse bearhugs her and throws her down. Gretta chokeslams Red then pins her with a foot on the chest.

Thoughts: This was just a quick squash and not much else. Gretta dominated and Red got nothing in.

It's Me...The Carson Drake Experience

Chris Nowinski is Drake's guest. Chris wants to be called doctor and asks how he is post-concussion. Drake says he's fine and had to get sunglasses after suffering it. He says Chris understands what he's going through. Chris says he was accused of faking his concussion that ended his career. He says he has a help line now with his organization. Chris asks who Drake's doctor is but Drake seems nervous and doesn't provide any details. Chris says he was glad to see the match with Silas end. He says he's never seen anyone fake an injury and says you'd have to be a real jerk to fake a concussion. Drake looks uncomfortable and Chris says thank God he didn't do that.

Thoughts: The story has been that Drake faked his concussion and they pushed that further here.

The Pope vs Mims

Pope comes out alone.

Pope offers a handshake and they shake hands. They lock up and Mims backs him up in the corner. Pope wristlocks him and side headlocks him. Pope trips him and misses an elbow drop. Mims side headlock takeovers him. Mims then does it again.

Pope headscissors him, they get up and Pope slaps him. Pope forces a break and eye pokes Mims. Mims shoulders Pope over twice. Mims corner splashes him then backsplashes him. Mims side slams him. 

Pope calls for timeout and The Light attack Mims from the behind. Mims wins via DQ.

Thoughts: It wasn't much. I'm not surprised. The NWA not only has a habit of doing this, but this started about 4 minutes before the show ended so something was up.

The Light beat up Mims after. Pope says he told The Light he'd beat up Mims himself. Pope then STO's Mims, solidifying that he has turned on him.

Overall thoughts: Veil/Thunder was a very basic match. Alex Misery beat Tony Leyenda in an average to acceptable match. We had a random tag with PB Smooth and Effy where PB ended up taking the pin. Gretta won a squash. The main event was short and totally nothing at all. It was the usual disappointing NWA show with random matches and lackluster wrestling. It wasn't good. I'd give this a 4 out of 10.

Ring of Honor on HonorClub 10/15/2026

Uno says it's time for them to go forward. Preston Vance walks in and says he's here to be their third guy if they need it. Uno votes for it and Alex agrees.

Thoughts: Linton had a good showing here. She did all kinds of athletic moves here and looked like someone worth bringing back. Ath roughed her up as she usually does with her opponents. Commentary went a bit too far putting Ath over here. It was average.

ELP cut throat spinning torture rack neckbreakers him for 2. ELP top rope splashes him and the time limit runs out.

Thoughts: It went to a 15 minute time limit draw here. It was longer than it needed to be. They couldn't really keep up the excitement between the bigger moves and it made it drag some. I think this would have been a lot better if it only went 10 minutes. I thought it was average.

ELP wants 5 more minutes then chants for one more match. ELP offers a handshake and AA gives him one. AA then hits him with the title and beats up on him. AA says, "one more match, in your dreams". Adam Priest then comes out and saves ELP. 

Overall thoughts: It was the usual ROH show but at least they kept it under 90 minutes. We had a couple champs in action and a competitive main. But we also had random bouts and wrestlers. There was nothing that great here. Maybe the semi-main was the best bout on this one, but it's almost a stretch to say that. I'd give this a 4 out of 10 overall. I thought it wasn't that good of a show. 

WWE Smackdown 10/16/2026

WWE Smackdown 10/16/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/10/wwe-smackdown-1092026.html

We are in Sacramento, CA. Vic Joseph and Corey Graves are on commentary.

We see various wrestlers arrive.

Thoughts: Trick won as expected. JG got no reaction here at all. It was rough as most of Trick's offense is based around jumping and JG spent the whole match working his knee. Trick did try to sell it, but it wasn't going to work that well. It was average.

Nick Aldis tells Blake Monroe her interactions with Giulia are getting out of hand. He says they will fight in a street fight next week. Chelsea Green comes in.

Gunther goes into Nick Aldis' office and talks to Nick, but can't see him.

Thoughts: Well, that was a surprise finish though not a good one. Rey's been getting featured a lot lately but still isn't that over. What we got was acceptable here RS really didn't need the loss here, so they avoided it with a DQ.

RS beats up Rey after then hits another roshambo. More refs come down and RS stomps him.

He says a lot of things changed but Cody whining in the ring stayed the same. Baron says some people don't have the killer instinct and some are born with it. He says he doesn't need friends and likes to hurt people but Cody is obsessed with being the good guy. Baron says none of that matters and Baron says him winning the title is the only thing that matters. He says he will do it at Cody's expense.

Cody says he'd usually have the patience for this. He punches him and lariats him over the top. Cody calls for a ref to come out and says they still have time to do this.

Thoughts: This wasn't much at all. We didn't see the start of this and we didn't get a real finish. This was also beyond random.

Orton bangs Cody's head off the commentary table. Cody is sent into the post. Cody hits a cody cutter on him. Baron comes in and hits shots on Cody. Cody runs up the buckles and hits a super cody cutter. Orton leaves the ring. Cody then punts Baron while Orton says Cody won't do it. Orton is surprised.

Overall thoughts: 4 of the 5 matches had non-clean pinfall finishes here though one of them ended that way due to injury. Trick/Gargano was average and Gargano got no reaction. Paige/Bella was average too. Priest/Truth ended early due to injury. Fenix/Saints had a bad finish but the match was acceptable. We barely got any of the main at all and it ended on a DQ as well. I thought this was below average overall with bad finishes, random last minute matches and and a very weak main event. I'd give this a 4 out of 10 and wouldn't recommend it.
