Game Changer Wrestling 4/17/2026 Gringo Loco’s The Wrld on Lucha

KJ take some group attacks early. Devon hits a superkick and poisonrana. Resp does rope tricks and diving headscissors KJ. Resp superkicks him in the gut then handspring flying back elbows him.

Jim bridges him on the top rope and powerslams him for 2. Devon enzugiri's Jim. Devon casadora facebusters him. Devon pop-up meteora's him.

Dulce gordbusters and superkicks RQ. Dulce blue thunders Resp. KJ breaks up a pin attempt by Dulce with a double stomp to the back and pins her.

Thoughts: It was a spotfest as only it could be. We got some cool spots with RQ's handspring sitout powerrbomb being the coolest spot. No one botches too much and they didn't overdo it that bad so it was an okay opener.

Thunder Rosa vs. Julissa Mexa

They compete for cheers and shake hands. They trade waistlocks. JM trips her then rolls her around. Rosa hits shots to the head to escape and JM tries a pin on her. Rosa rolls her into a pin then crossfaces her. Rosa armdrags her for 2. Rosa pulls her by the hair.

Rosa hits kicks on her then death valley drivers her. Rosa bangs JM's face off the buckles. They fight on the buckles. JM top rope moonsault slams her for 2. Rosa hits forearms, slaps and a backhand. Rosa fire thunder drivers her and wins.

Thoughts: I'd say it was about average. They didn't have a great flow to it. The trips outside hurt this a little and it was a not a great bout. I don't think they got some of the stuff down between the various moves and spots. Both girls also have some limits. 

Mexa Boys (Noisy Boy & Spider Fly) & Briyante Jr. vs. Mala Fama (Toxin & Latigo) & Rey Horus

They totally messed up the intros for this with the Mexa Boys coming out too early. The mic cut off and there was no music for either team.

They all shake hands.  and The Boys hit triple superkicks. The Boys then do triple tope con hilos outside. Lat (purple) takes a springboard reverse headscissors from Spider. Spider satellite headscissors him. Tox and Noisy come in. Noisy is money flipped into the ropes but he handsprings and lands on his feet. Noisy nearly kills himself in an awkward spot. Noisy springboard headscissors Tox.

Horus spinning laiats Bri in the corner. We get a tower of doom spot with Bri going down with a superplex. Tox dropkicks Spider. Tox tries to kip up three times but can't do it. Noisy then helps him do it on the 4th attempt. Toxic hits a hard tope outside.

Bri 2nd rope step up top con hilo's outside. Horus enzugiri's Noisy in the corner. Horus rolling bodyscissors bombs Noisy off the top and pins him.

Thoughts: They tried but it wasn't that good. The faces were sloppy. Toxin couldn't kip up. They were clearly working together at times and it should have been a lot better than it was. Noisy came very close to dying here when he tried to moonsault off Toxin. 

Galeno del Mal vs. Jack Cartwheel

JC puts his head in Mal's chest and Mal shoves him away. JC dropkicks him and lands on his feet. JC dropkicks him then Mal flying forearms him. Mal chops him in the corner. JC splits out of a legdrop, up kicks him and armdrags him out. JC's flying space tiger drop is caught outside and he's dropped face first on the apron. Mal facekicks him outside. 

Mal boots him around then misses a charge. JC is caught off the buckles and takes a brainbuster. They go out and Jack hits some shots. Jack's headscissors is caught and he swung into the steps. They go in, Mal is pulled out. Jack is caught off a flying space tiger outside and spinning ddt's him on the floor. Jack body springboard elbow drops him then springboard corkscrew 450's him. Jack hits his arm on the landing and is hurt and injured. The match is stopped.

Thoughts: It's a shame this ended the way it did. I was looking forward to it. Jack's new corkscrew springboard 450 move always looked like a hard move to land. I hope Jack is okay. This wasn't all that much before the injury. Gal blocking Jack on all of his dives and not just selling them got a little annoying.

Team Dragon Gate (Hyo, Kzy, Yuki Yoshioka) vs. Team Gringo (Gringo Loco, Arez, Vengador)

Loco armdrags Kzy. Kzy casadora armdrags him. They botch a spot and Loco gyrates at him. Kzy armdrags him, ducks a shot then does the worm. Kzy then dances. They shake hands and danceoff of it. 

Arez and Yuki go at it. Arez wristlocks him and Yuki reverses it. Arez headflips out of it. Yuki blocks a flying headscissors and does a la magistral. Yuki flips out of Arez's monkey flip. Yuki misses dropkicks then armdrags Arez. Arez armdrags him and they try to dropkick each other at the same time before standing off.

Hyo and Veng go at it. Hyo trips him and they d some rolls. Hyo leg lariats him. They shake hands and then Veng doesn't let go. Veng knees him in the gut. Hyo is spinebustered then Loco sitout moonsaults him for 2.

Kzy and Hyo do stereo dives outside. Yuki top rope plancha's his opponents outside. Arez takes corner attacks. He takes a stunner into a backcracker and a sitout bomb. Arez is held in the air for a Hyo 2nd rope senton. 

Loco and Hyo dance. Loco is superkicked in the face then Yuki suplexes him for 2. Arez overhead kicks Kzy. Arez takes a powerbomb + top rope blockbuster combo. Yuki tope con hilos outside then Loco does the same. Veng does the valiente special outside (walk up the ropes blinde moonsault). Veng takes a flatliner then a canadian destroyer. Hyo 2nd rope diving cutters Veng for 2. 

We get a dangerous Loco double crucifix driver. One of the DG guys lands bad on his neck. Veng cutters Hyo and Arez top rope double stomps Hyo. Logo top rope moonsaults Hyo and pins him.

Thoughts: It got enough time to play out. It was okay but nothing too special. The top rope double crucifix bomb spot was so dangerous. This was all about the flying and spots as expected.

Lucha Extrema - El Desperado vs. Vipress

There's really only one way to work these matches and it's to have the male cheat and be a jerk which turns the female wrestler into the face. We didn't get that here. It was a straight 1v1 match without them playing up size differences. They overdid it with canadian destroyers and top rope bumps through tables not really meaning all that much. I was expecting barbed wire, glass and that kind of stuff but they just stuck to doors and chairs here. And that's fine, just Despy does that kind of stuff all the time, so I don't know why he didn't do it here. The crowd wasn't super hot for this, or really anything on this show and I don't blame them. Despy won this with an angel's wings on chairs. I didn't think it was anything special.

Overall thoughts: The show was just so-so overall. The opener was acceptable. Rosa/Mexa was average. The trios match with The Mexa Boys had a lot of sloppy moments and the faces were just of their game. Galeno/Cartwheel ended early due to injury. Team Dragon Gate vs Team Gringo was the best match of the night but was just okay. The main wasn't something I was going to enjoy but it was not the bloody hardcore match with glass and light tubes that I was expecting. The crowd was also not that good here. I'd give it a 4 out of 10 as half this card really wasn't that good.

WWE Main Event 4/16/2026

WWE Main Event 4/16/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/04/wwe-main-event-492026.html

Vic Joseph and Blake Howard are on commentary.

Zelina Vega vs. Jordynne Grace

Vega comes out to Aleister Black's theme. They just called Vega "Zelina" here.

JG side headlocks Vega and takes her over. Vega headscissors her then side headlock takeovers her. Vega ducks a lariat and smiles at her. JG back elbows her and knocks her down twice. JG hits a big ending for 2. 

JG headbutts her. JG boots her on the apron. Vega goes for a sunset bomb off the apron. Vega trips her on the apron. Vega meteora's her off the apron. JG's head is banged off the commentary table. Vega knee drops JG's arm into the commentary table for a 1 count.

Vega spinning ddt's her. Vega pumping knees her for 2. JG sits her up top. Vega meteora's her off the buckles. JG essentially no sells it. JG uraken's her. JG hits a backpack stunner for the win.

Thoughts: It was acceptable. Vega worked the arm some before going down and JG muscled her around some. That knee drop Vega did on JG's arm on the commentary table had to hurt her more than JG.

Raquel Rodriguez vs. Maxxine Dupri

RR shoves her off the lock up. Max backs her up in the corner. RR rakes her forearm in Max's face. RR blocks a sunset flip. Max high kiks her. Max goes up and over then flying headscissors her out. Max cannonballs her off the apron. Max misses a top rope move and is facekicked for 2.

RR hits punches. RR hits elbow drops. RR slingshot suplexes her for 2. RR does a tazzmission to her then throws her down backwards. Max ddt's her out of a suplex attempt. 

Max hits lariats and step up legdrops her on the back. Max is caught off the top. RR blocks a spinning high kick and one arm powerbombs her to win.

Thoughts: I was interested to see who would win here as either could have pulled it off. It was acceptable. RR caught Max as she tried a lot of moves and used her power on her. Max's push has cooled off lately and I'm curious as to what they do with her from now on.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches as usual and a few ads for Mania.  There was nothing you needed to see here but what we got was acceptable. It wasn't a bad way to spend 15 minutes or so.

Juggalo Championship Wrestling 4/16/2026 Lunacy Episode 79

Juggalo Championship Wrestling 4/16/2026 Lunacy Episode 79

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/04/juggalo-championship-wrestling-492026.html

Mark Roberts and Joe Dombrowski are on commentary. 

Kid Cadet is the announcer and she welcomes us to the show.

Vampiro comes out to talk. The crowd makes him feel good. He says he just celebrated his 41st Anniversary in wrestling. He says as time goes on and because of how he did things, life takes its toll. He said he was in a wheelchair and said he could give up or hope and have faith. He says time robs immortality. He says he will step out into the light with the fans and they will get to see a king close the chapter on a book. He says we will see him as Vampiro for the last time in the US. He says it means a lot to do it at home in JCW. He says things haven't gone well lately with "his brother". He says he needs to call out his brother and family in Violent J. 

Violent J comes out. J says he feels the same as Vampiro sometimes and says Vamp was one of his best friends on earth. He says he was excited until Vamp showed up. He says Vamp told him he had a tag team called "The Triplex of Terror". He says when they showed up, they attacked 2 Tuff Tony and Willie Mack. He asks what happened. He says Vamp sold him out.

The crowd chants "you f*cked up" and Vamp asks the crowd if they have never f*cked up. Vamp talks about the things J taught him. Vamp says it went to J's head and he had to push him and call him out. He says it's because he loves him and that's why he did it. 

Vamp says he never knew what a panic attack was until he met J. He says The ICP went on TV and said "f*ck him". J says Vamp seems angry and he thought he got it out when he was booting 2 Tuff Tony and said f*ck the juggalos. J says he doesn't know anyone who made more mistakes than him. Vamp says they are close. J says they survived their potholes in their friendship. J says if Vamp says he loves him, he loves him back. They hug.

Vamp asks J to let him do his retirement match in JCW. Vamp says he can't walk and the doc told him not to do it. Vamp asks to let him do this with him. J asks when. Vamp says on 4/17 at Stranglemania. J asks who his opponent will be. Vamp says he's a vampire and said he heard there is a monster trying to take his place. He says it should be Vampiro vs PCO.

J says "holy sh!t" and Vamp asks if the crowd wants to see it. J says he loves it and grants him the match.

Big Vito comes out, back in his normal non-juggalo gear. Vito says that was lovely and like "As The World Turns". Vito says let's start off like we always do and tells the fans to wipe that sh!t off their faces. Vito calls the fans "juffalos" (some kind of anti-juggalo insult). J asks what Vito is doing out here.

Vito says he's the devil. He says he doesn't want anyone to hug him or love him. He says he's here just to ruin everyone's day. Vito says he and Vamp have been friends for years and travelled the same roads. He says they don't brag about it on TV though. Vito says Vamp beat Sting and Hogan, took care of Mexico and was champ here. 

J tells Vito to get off Vamp's d*ck. J questions Vito's friendship with Vamp and says he never saw them hang out. Vamp says Vito asked if the flavor of Faygo is the same as sucking a d*ck. He says he told Vito that he never had a Faygo. Vito says Vamp never beat him because he didn't have the balls to face him. Vito asks for the match to be Big Vito vs Vampiro vs PCO. J asks Vamp if he wants this. Vamp tells Vito to bring his panties and says he will see him in Las Vegas. They shake hands on it. Vamp says he will get in Vito's head and give him a nightmare. He says he will tell him when he goes to the bathroom at night that he's done.

Thoughts: It was a longer but mostly very good opening segment. J has absolutely uncanny powers to cut good babyface promos and everything Vampiro said felt real as well. Violent J being the best on promos is not something I had on my list for 2026, but it's true. I'm sure the match will not be that good, but they make you want to see it.

J-Rod is upset in the back. She kicks a door in and attacks Dani Mo in her locker room. She says hshe's not going to be in this situation and throws her into the wall/couch. She slams a suitcade on her and sticks a piece of a banana in her hair.

Thoughts: This was a quick but good beatdown. Dani went hard into that wall.

We go to the parking lot. The mysterious limo arrives. 

Luigi Primo goes up to Big Vito, who is on the phone. Primo asks Vito for another chance. Vito says he gave him a job and he screwed it up. Primo says he wants to prove he can make the best pizza and he will study tape. Vito says he needs to face PCO in a Sicilian Street Fight. Primo says, "But I'm from Naples". Vito says, "Who gives a sh!t where you're from you stupid b@stard". Vito then tells him he has a job for him. He then gives him a fish wrapped in a newspaper and says it's the kiss of death for the boss. He says it's from The Godfather. He says to deliver it to the brothers, in the streetfight and then you're in. Primo throws the fish and Vito says not to as it's bad luck. He then tells him, "your pizza's burning you dumb b@stard".

Thoughts: This was hilarious. We need more Vito and Primo interactions. I think Primo's finally found his gimmick here.

J-Rod comes out and says "three way my @ss". She says she took out Dani Mo and says it's now up to Big Al.

"Big Al" Alice Crowley vs J-Rod vs Dani Mo

Dani does not come out as this starts due to J's beating on her. J pounds on Al and hits forearms on her. Al's head is banged off the buckles. Al boots her out of the corner. Al rolls into a codebreaker on her. Al his chest clubs and chops on Al. 

J hits snake eyes on Al. J knee lifts her and stomps on her. J suplexes her. J chinlocks her and gets on her back. J is pushed into the buckles and Al lariats her. Al forearms her and pump kicks her. Al backdrops her for 2. Al olympic slams her for 2.

The ref argues with J. J says "that was 3". J grabs brass knucks, the ref goes to take them and she hits the ref with them. Dani Mo comes out and grabs her arm. Al pounds on J. J is double teamed. J takes a double dropkick to the knees. Al drops Dani onto J. They then high five each other. 

Al is pulled out. Dani high kicks J then cutters her for the win.

Thoughts: This was a fun turn of events with Dani not even being able to make it to the match then pulling off the win and working with Al. They did a nice job with this here and they put over J well as a tough one.

Al gives Dani a banana after. She then shoves it in J's mouth. Dani and Al then pose on the stage together.

The Brothers of Funstruction laugh in the back. They laugh at Vito being dressed up like a juggalo. Luigi Primo then comes in and says he has a delivery from Vito. The Brothers then see  the dead fish in the newspaper. They say they are going to be sleeping with the fishes and say they are still after them. The one says they need to get out of here and go.

 Mac Davis interviews Jeeves. Jeeves says tonight is tonight but the moment is not yet. He says there's a main event player in the limo and says we have to wait until the main event to find out tonight.

We get another Red Love/Father Bronson video with a bunch of different clips to start. Red picks up a phone call. He says he values our time and we are practically family now. He thanks us for accepting his as his one  true leader. He says that's what Red Love is all about. He says he's thankful for all of us. We get the usual cutaways during this and a logo that says 4.18.26.

Barnabus is with The Outbreak in the back. Barn says they are addicts and used to be tag champs. The Outbreak are looking something in various bags. The Outbreak chase Barnabus away.

Mac Davis interviews J-Rod. J-Rod says it took a 2v1 to go against her. She says she will bring a new and bigger partner with her at Stranglemania. She says she will bring her own ref too. She dares Big Al to put her title on the line.

Vince Russo talks to Caleb Konley in the back. Russo asks why he attacked CoKane. Caleb says he did what needed done. Russo says he went into business for himself and needs to trust him. He says if he gets past Nic Nemeth in 2/3 falls, they will talk CoKane after.

Jasmine St. Claire interrupts. She asks what Russo was saying about disbanding The Monster Corporation. Russo says their performance hasn't been up to par and says they could be more valuable as individual wrestlers. Jas asks for one more chance to show who they really are. Vince says he will allow it due to her reputation. Vince says it's her reputation though and says to change his mind.

Sicilian Street Fight - Luigi Primo vs PCO

PCO knocks him over. Primo tosses his pizza around. Primo dropicks him and hits him with the pizza dough. PCO throws him down. PCO hits punches in the corner and clubs him while he lays on top. Primo's chest is banged off the apron edge and PCO elbows him in the chest. 

Weapons are thrown in. Primo hits PCO with a chooke sheet, a rake and a trash can. PCO punches the trash can into Primo's face. Primo swings a rake at him and PCO breaks it. PCO drops him with the rake. PCO running lariats him. PCO teases a moonsault but doesn't do it. PCO sharpshooters him and submits him.

Thoughts: It went like it should have with Primo goofing around, being unable to make any dents in PCO and PCO taking him out easy. They kept it short and it made sense.

Mac Davis interviews Steven Flowe. He says he doesn't know what he was thinking when he hit CoKane last week. The Outbreak come in and look for drugs on Mac and Flowe. CoKane then grabs Flowe. Flowe says he's sorry and CoKane backs off. 

Mac Davis interviews Big Al and Dani Mo. Mac says J-Rod will have a special ref and a mystery partner at Stranglemania and wants a title shot. Dani says Al will of course put the title on the line and says they will see her there. Al is shocked but says nothing and walks away with Dani.

Ruffo is looking for Yabo. He says the fish in the newspaper is serious stuff. He can't find him and is freaking out.

The St. Claire Monster Corporation (Beastman, Mr. Happy and Kongo Kong) vs Disco Ray and The Brothers of Funstruction (Yabo and Ruffo)

Yabo does not come out with Ruffo.

Ray tries to dance with Happy. Happy liks it and shakes the tamborine with him. They dance around and Beast tags himself in. Happy won't give up the tamborine. Yabo hits punches on Beast then mocks his selling. Yabo calls for the Hulk fist but Ray doesn't have it. Yabo runs to the back.

Beast throws Ray in. Ray dropkicks him from behind. Ray backhands Kong. Ray kicks the tamborine out of Happy's hand. Happy charges him. The Ring Rat then shows her body off to the heels. Jasmine St. Claire comes in and pushes The Ring Rat down. She then catfights her. Happy fire thunder drivers Ray. Beast pumphandle slams Ray. Kong top rope swantons Ray and pins him.

Thoughts: The Happy stuff with Ray was entertaining. Ray got destroyed here and he took a real whooping near the end.

Ruffo is looking for Yabo in the back and can't find him. He thinks they got him. 

Mac Davis interviews Facade. Fac says he's been in multi-man matches all his career. He says he will keep and defend the title and doesn't care what he has to do in order to do it.

Cal blocks Nic's danger zone then low blows him. Cal goes for the pin and Kerry Morton comes in. Kerry eye rakes Cal and they call in a No Contest.

Thoughts: It was one of the better wrestling matches on here. Russo was good as Caleb's cheerleader and they had a competitive match. Win or lose, this helped out Caleb. Kerry coming in makes sense.

Russo yells at Kerry. Kerry teases doing a superkick to Nic but doesn't. Russo calls Kerry a punk and Kerry tells him to suck his d*ck. 

JCW World Title - CoKane (c) vs Shane Mercer

Kane runs the ramp and flying lariats SM over the top. Kane hits mounted shots and punches in the corner. Kane slides out of a lariat. Kane is caught off a moonsault. SM gorilla press throws him on the ramp.

Kane's head is banged off the ramp then he is knocked off the ramp. SM is pushed off the steps. Kane is swept on the apron. SM powerbombs him on the steps. Kane's head is put between the rail rung's. SM then dropkicks him in the butt, sending him face first into them more.

Kane is on the 2nd rope and he does cocaine. Kane chokeslams him off the buckles and wins.

Thoughts: I didn't love Steven Flowe interfering since he doesn't like either of these guys. The match was decent though with SM throwing Kane around and Kane surviving lots of obstacles to win.

Mac Davis interviews Jeeves. Jeeves says there's no more action tonight, just ratings. He says the moment we have been waiting for is about to happen. Jeeves opens up a door and says it's time. We see the mystery person's shoes only and he kind of does a dance.

Blast from the Past

This is the JCW debut of Shockwave the Robot. He teams with 2 Tuff Tony vs The Headbangers. Tony picks up the win with punches to the face while his hands are on fire.

CoKane is looking for Steven Flowe in the back. He's opening doors wildly and pushes the camera away.

The commentators talk and The Outbreak walk over.

Mac Davis interviews Vampiro. Big Vito hits Vamp from behind. He knees him in the gut and pounds on him in the hallway. He says he told him this isn't over and says he won't get the best of him. Vito is then hit with a kendo stick. PCO walks away and says "Stranglemania".

Violent J comes out to talk. He talks about Stranglemania on 4/17. He talks about the show with Mickie Knuckles vs Kerry Morton, the JCW American Title 6-Way Scramble, Vampiro vs Vito vs PCO in Vampiro's retirement match, The Outbreak vs The Brothers of Funstruction and Matt Riddle vs Nic Nemeth vs Caleb Konley vs CoKane in a 4-way elimination match.

EC3 comes out. He says it's an honor to be in the ring with Violent J. He says it's an honor to main event the biggest match in JCW history for the title. He hugs Jeeves. EC3 promises to call the match down the middle on 4/17. He makes jokes about Russo's finger poke of doom. He says they are going chicken hunting on 4/17.

Thoughts: They overhyped EC3 a bit but they tried to make him seem like a star at least.

We then cut a video and Yabo is all tied and screaming for daddy.

Overall thoughts: It was a longer show at 2 hours and 14 minutes. I prefer when they keep these under 90 minutes. They did fill the time out well though. We got good promos from Violent J, Luigi and Vito's segment was funny and the wrestling was a lot better than usual. EC3 didn't quite meet the amount of hype they gave him but at least they tried. It was a good show and they did a nice job of hyping up the 4/17 Stranglemania show as well. I'd give this 7 a out of 10. Whatever you were looking for, they had it here and it was a very complete show. They got a lot done on this one and it was one of their best shows yet.

KC spinning ddt's him. KC hits corner dropkicks on AJ. KC 2nd rope olympic slams him for 2. KC comes off the top and is caught with a mid-air spear. AJ looks at Nic and is distracted. KC rolls up AJ and pins him.

Thoughts: I'm glad KC won. The story here was odd as KC kept trying to olympic slam AJ for some reason. I don't even remember that being one of his moves. But at least it made sense. AJ getting distracted by Nic also adds to that eventually match. It was acceptable but not super exciting.

EC3 does a promo. He says a story has 3 acts. He said he inherited a famous name, became champ, was exiled and says this isn't a comeback but a crusade. He says he's back. 

The System come out to talk. Brian asks if they are mad they ended The Hardy's title reign. Brian says they are the new TNA tag champs. Brian says not everything went as planned though and Eddie says he didn't become champ. Eddie says Moose couldn't stand the idea of him becoming a champ or that Alisha is his ride or die. Alisha says she's glad that Moose got smarted hanging out with her. She says Moose played the video of her at Rebellion as he likes to stooge. Alisha says they treated him like a fool because he is a fool. Cedric says Rebellion was supposed to be a clean sweep but they are still dealing with the Moose problem. He says Leon Slater is a cheating piece of garbage and says Leon should have been DQ'd. He says he never lost and is owed a title shot. 

Leon Slater comes out. Leon says Ced lost. Leon accuses Ced of having a boo-boo face around the locker room and says it's because he close to becoming the longest reigning X-Division champ of all time. Eddie says that won't happen and says Leon and Moose keep getting lucky. He says they won't do what they need to do to get the job done.

Moose comes out. Moose says The System lost at Rebellion as they are little b!tches. Moose says Eddie is Alisha's b!tch and says Brian is Edge's b!tch. Moose says Alisha is the biggest b!tch that ever stepped through the door of TNA. Alisha says he's nothing compared to her husband. Leon says they should do a tag match right now.

Daria Rae comes out and says no to the tag match idea. She says it might have been okay when Santino was in charge, but he's suspended. She says there's no match tonight. Leon complains and says this is why people think Santino is the better GM. Daria then changes her mind and says it'll be Leon and Moose vs The System in a 2v4 match.

Elijah asks Daria Rae where Santino is. She says he's suspended. Elijah says he was hit with a guitar at Rebellion and wants a rematch with Kazarian. Daria says she makes the decisions and says she will make a phone call. She then puts the phone on speaker and calls Kaz. She asks Kaz if he will do a rematch. He says "No" and she says it doesn't look like it will happen.

Order 4 talks in the ring. Mustafa Ali says he's happy and puts over his crew. He says we have a champ in TNA who doesn't need a second chance. He brings up Trey, Santana and The Hardy's needing second chances. He says he is doing an open challenge for the TNA International Title. He says if you want it, come and get it. He calls out Jada Stone and says Tasha will kick her @ss. He says she will then declare, "In Ali, We Trust" after.

Tasha Steelz vs Jada Stone

Jada runs in and they hockey fight. They trade shots and TS shoulders her over. Jada spinning headscissors her. Jada baseball slides her. Jada tries a diving headscissors off the apron but TS falls. Jada is then sent into the steps. TS short arm lariats her outside.

We go to break and return. TS suplexes her for 2. Jada is tripped into the ropes. TS pump kicks her down. TS throws her down backwards. TS stomps her and foot chokes her. They trade shots and Jada hits lariats. Jada 2nd rope meteora's her. Jada split-legged moonsaults her for 2. TS neckbreakers her for 2.

TS slingshots over her and is superkicked. Jada handsprings and is caught with a german. Jada superkicks her in the gut then tornado ddt's her. Jada does a sloppy sitout gordbuster. Jada is distracted and hit up top. TS pulls her off the 2nd rope and cutters her. Jada is thrown out and the ref ejects Order 4, before they do anything. Jada rolls her up for 2.

Jada superkicks her then handspring backflip cutters her to win.

Thoughts: Jada's typical of a lot of highflyers. She can do impressive stuff but either her opponents don't know how to catch her or she gets sloppy. So she has a lot of sloppy bouts like this more often than not. It would have been fine without all the botches.

We go back to The Undead Realm. Crawford is getting scared by zombies. Rosemary finds Joseph Park. Park doesn't know how he got here and asks if she say Abyss. Park hugs her and she's grossed out but says it's okay. Rose asks if his divorce is okay. Park says he has to go, Rose asks where and Park says, "up north". We see some girl in a skimpy outfit with horns. Tessa is walking in what looks like a church and asks someone with a skull on a stick how to get out.

Ryan says KC isn't a brother and isn't part of the family. Nic says he's helping out. The System come in and say KC looks like a charity case. Nic says he just came back from an injury. Bear says he doesn't like Nic's tone. Nic says he's not a hard man to find and says anytime and any place. 

Mike Santana comes out to talk. Mike says Eddie threw everything he had at him and he's still world champ. Mike essentially throws out an open challenge to Rich Swann. Rich comes out. Rich says it's not everyday that a title shot falls into your lap. Rich says he respects Mike. Rich puts himself over and asks if he really wants this. Rich says they might talk about their match for months or years and says he will give him every ounce of fire and desire. He says he will fight him all night long. Mike brings up Daria Rae and says if she approves, they can do the match.

She says she not only lost the title, but her best friend.

Xia Brookside is interviewed by Gia. She's watching the video feed and saw what Lee said. Xia leaves without saying anything else.

Eric Young vs. EC3

EY nails EC from behind while he enters on the ramp. EC bangs EY's head off the apron. EY stomps EC. He double axe handles him off the buckles. EY twists EC's head. EC hits lariats and thesz presses him. EC charges at EY and totally just runs into the ref for no reason. He then throws both over the top at the same time. They try to say he ran into the ref on accident but that was 100% not the case from what we saw. We are told this is a No Contest.

Thoughts: It was short and stupid. They had one big spot and they screwed it up. It looked hokey and fake.

EC misses a chair shot against the post and EY lariats him outside. EY puts a chair around EC's head. They fight with the chair around EC's neck. EC misses a charge and goes into the steps chair first.

Thoughts: They went 0-2 here as they had another sloppy brawl that looked phony.

We go back to The Undead Realm. Rosemary finds someone in a mask with an axe. Rose calls him "Frank" and says he's dramatic as ever. Rose asks about Frank's mom.

MaraSade talks to Allie/The Bunny. Allie say she wants to eat when she gets to the real world. They see the girl with the horns and she teleports over her. Allie then introduces herself to Crawford. Crawford runs into the horn girl and runs.

Tessa walks into a control room and sees Rose. She says she wil tell her how to get out of here now. Rose says no and they fight. Tess gets the edge and chokes her with a chain. She says she will find her own way out.

Tessa, Mila and Crawford reunite. Allie and Mara help out Rose. Rose tells them about fighting with Tessa. Allie gets upset and walks off. Rose shows Mara a piece of Tessa's fight and says they never come out of a fight without a souvenir. Tessa's crew finds Father James Mitchell. He tells them to use the door to get out. They go through the door which has some kind of warp portal and they disappear. James introduces himself o the horn girl and says you call him "Devil Daddy".

The lights go out. Tom asks what's going on and we see some sci-fi video. Tessa, Mila and Crawford crawl out from under the ring. The lights go out. We see more sci-fi video clips. Rosemary and Mara appear on the ramp. They fight Tessa's crew. Rose is surrounded, she says to bring it on then the lights go out. We get more sci-fi clips. Allie appears and her bloody death wounds are gone. Allie hits kicks on the heels then codebreakers Tessa. The heels escape to the ramp.

Thoughts: You guys know what this is so I haven't felt the need to comment on it so much. It's goofy sci-fi stuff. It's not believable and there's no way to sell it as a serious thing. I'd be up for seeing the horn girl and Frank again though. They can't be that much worse than Crawford or some of the other girls and they have cool looks.

The Hardy's do a promo. Matt asks if The Righteous are happy by costing them the tag titles. Matt says they picked up what they put down and digged. Matt says he thanks Dutch for sacrificing him as nothing like a near death experience makes him realize he's alive. He challenges Dutch for next week and offers to make him the sacrifice. Matt says it's almost broken season. Jeff does The Righteous' finger snaps and they laugh as the lights go out.

Leon hits destino on Bear and utopia's Brian. Leon rolls up Ced for 2. Ced lumbar checks Leon and pins him.

Thoughts: The System having problems taking out their opponents on a 4v2 wasn't impressive, but at least they won. It was an acceptable enough main and wasn't the boring bout it could have been. It never really got that boring.

The announcers talk to close the show.

Overall thoughts: AJ/KC was alright. Daria Rae was awful as usual as she emasculates all the top faces and makes them look bad. Tasha/Jada had too many sloppy moments. We had tons of Undead Realm stuff that isn't believable in any way that they shouldn't even try to explain or mention. Eric Young and EC3 had a poor match and post-match angle. The main was a handicap match but they did what they could with it. I'd give this a 4 out of 10. Like with Rebellion, this brought back a lot of LOLTNA memories and I don't love where the promotion is headed right now. This wasn't good.

Reality of Wrestling 4/11/2026 The Last Stand Rumble 2026

Reality of Wrestling 4/11/2026 The Last Stand Rumble 2026

They start the show off with the national anthem. 

Chris Russo (one of the announcers) talks and talks about Queen Sharmell's mom having her birthday. They sing Happy Birthday to her. Chris talks about tonight's line-up.

Danny Limelight comes out to talk with a "Zilla Killa" shirt on. He says he's not defending his title tonight, contrary to what Chris Russo about him fighting Niko Vance. Danny says he's still the ROW champ. He said they sent the best but he's still champ. He says he took the title around the world and asks where his WWE ID and NXT contracts are. He says it should be him on NXT and everywhere and says it will happen. He says to get your camera's out and enjoy it while it lasts. He says he won't be here much longer.

Daniel Alexandro is interviewed. He says everyone is talking about Jimmy House. He says WWE ID is looking at the wrong guy. We couldn't hear most of this.

Thoughts: It was an alright bout here. Jimmy has some fun powerhouse offense but he is a smaller guy which will limit him. I liked what we got of this here and DA did the job for Jimmy.

Mike Cunningham/Max Abrams is interviewed. Mike says he's going into overtime with Clay Roberts after going 1-1 with him. Mike says he will take and make that shot tonight because he's got main man energy.

Thoughts: What we got was fine here. Mike did well as a face and had one of his better showings so far. I don't know why WWE wants him to be a heel so much when he's a natural face. I don't love Clay losing but it kind of appears to be the tax for facing WWE ID stars.

Thoughts: It was so-so. Cap took it a bit easy here and Blake wasn't too impressive.

Cap Jones is interviewed after but we can't hear it clean. He says what's next is a triple shot or a 5/6/7/8 shot, or however many shots it takes to get an ROW Title shot. He says to stay out of his way as you will get burned because the pot is hot.

Booker T talks to Danny Limelight in his office. Booker asks how he's feeling. Booker says not to call him the OG but The Boss. He says he was given back his old job and they want things done differently around her. He says he has good news and bad news. He says he says the bad news is he's defending the title tonight.

Alexa gives Max a chair. Max misses a shot and is hit with a pumping knee. Jay twisting drops Max from his shoulder on the chair and pins him.

Thoughts: Max had basically been ROW Texas champ forever. They had an angle where Max put a cigar in his eye and Jay got his revenge here. Jay's been getting over as a Bron Breakker type. I wouldn't say this was the wrong all here and we'll see what Jay can do with the title.  

Skylar Rae is interviewed. She's making her debut in a title match. She says the sky won't just open, it will fall. She says Monica Monroe has held the title for 100 days. She says Haley J isn't one to mes with. She says neither realized she was coming. She says she didn't come here to test herself but to take what they have. She says the shooting star has arrived.

Sky top rope frogsplashes J for 1. MM top rope swantons Sky. MM cradle shocks J and pins her.

Thoughts: It wasn't good. They forgot what to do about half way through this and everyone was just awkwardly standing here. It was a sloppy and just not anyone's best work. Sky hit a nice top rope frogsplash here.

ROW World Title - Danny Limelight (c) vs Niko Vance

Niko goes up top and Dan pushes the ref into the ropes which crotches him. Niko handstand hurricanrna's him in the corner then top rope splashes him for 2.

Niko back body drops him then hits a hidden blade for the win.

Thoughts: This was a big upset. Niko hadn't wrestled here before and took out Danny, who has been champ and basically the top heel for a long time. Booking wise it's a little disappointing as it seemed Zilla Fatu was destined to beat Danny. We'll have to see how it goes with Niko. The fans didn't react that much to him and it's kind of understandable since he's not used that often on NXT and hasn't been here before. The match was acceptable but not too much else. I kind of figured something up when Danny looked like he was going to cry before the match started.

Thoughts: It was a good Rumble here. They had a lot of time to fill but kept it interesting and kept things moving. They also picked a great winner in Big Luther. Luther's been the breakout star in ROW this year and this is definitely the start of his big singles push. We had some WWE ID people here and a nice mix of various ROW guys. This really couldn't have gone much better than it did and they did a great job overall.

Overall thoughts: We had some big news coming out of this with Jay Alexander beating the longtime champ Max Castellanos for his belt. Niko Vance debuted and won the ROW Title. Big Luther also got his first big singles win in the Last Stand Rumble. The women's match was the only bad match here with everything else being fine. The Last Stand Rumble was good as they minimized the downtime, it didn't drag out too long and they kept things moving and gave us a good winner in the end. The show was good overall and it felt like it was worth the 2 hour and 15 minute investment in the end. I'd give it a 6 out of 10.

Thoughts: It was the same Bucks match as always with everything either having a flip attached to it or being part of overly complicated double team. It's just nothing more than a collection of spots. Reed's top rope cutter to the floor continues to look like it hurts him more than anything else.

Thoughts: It went long a over 15 minutes and Mox got his eyebrow busted open. It was kind of a lose-lose situation as both guys are champs and someone had to lose here. This was a random one and was really only done because Nick is in his hometown. I think they mostly did okay with it as they didn't overdo it and Nick played up the cock young heel role okay.

Thoughts: I don't know what Lio is doing but he's trying and it's getting people to notice him, even if it's for the wrong reasons. Lio's a decent worker and good on the mic, but he never really got to show off his mic skills or do longer feuds, so it made no difference how good he was on the mic. This would have been better without the theatrics.

We get a Bandido county western style video.

Riky hits King from behind and is chopped down. Bull takes chops from the faces. Mist topes the jobbers outside. MD tornillos Bull outside. King over the shoulder piledrivers Ricky and pins him.

Thek tries to hit her with brass knuckles. Alex headbutts her then Thek hits her with the knucks. Thek curbstomps Alex and pins her.

Thoughts: It wasn't that interesting of a match. It was mostly all striking and I didn't buy that Alex was winning here. The finish didn't help either.

Overall thoughts: It was a show with a lot of in-ring action on it. Copeland did a promo and got jumped by FTR to start things. The Bucks had their usual match that I didn't like as did Orange Cassidy. Shida and Kris won a squash. Mox/Nick Wayne wasn't bad. I'm not sure what to make of Pac/Lio due to Lio's new gimmick. We had another squash then a somewhat boring main. We surpisingly didn't hear from MJF or Darby here. I'd give it a 5 out of 10. I thought it was an average show.

Thoughts: It was a longer bout. There was mostly 2 girls in this for the majority of it and then someone would come in and interrupt the flow. The match was not so serious early on but got more serious as it went on. I thought it was a little boring and just average.

Thoughts: It was another match that probably got too much time. It was the most athletic thing on here so far though and they did generally put out a good effort. The selling was a bit suspect here as the facebuster from the apron to the floor really should have put Sakura out. It was acceptable.

Princess Tag Championship - The IInspiration (Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee) (c) vs. Kyouraku Resonance (Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao)

 The Iinspiration rip up signs and act stupid in the corner to start. Misao then talks on the mic and they do The Iinspiration's pose. Misao says their goal is to get the belts back. They attack The Iinspiration.

Thoughts: I was surprised to see The Iinspiration win here. It would have been an easy way to get the belts off of them. This was a lot better than expected and easily one of The Iinspiration's better bouts lately. Their offense looked better than usual and The Japanese did their part. This was alright.

J argues with the ref. J runs into a facekick then spears the psot when Yuki moves. Yuki full-nelson slams her. Yuki axe kicks her and pins her.

Thoughts: It wasn't that good. There just wasn't anything too special about it and there was no great logic to it. It was an average match for the most part and was not even the best match on this show.

Yuki tells J she loves her after the match. J says she underestimated her and loves her too. J thanks everyone and Yuki asks her to fight again. The whole roster comes out and thanks the fans after.

Overall thoughts: They only had 6 matches so everything got more time than usual. Sometimes that helps matches but this stretched out some of the bouts and the bouts did not get better with time. I would maybe say The Iinspiration had the best bout on here and that's not something I say often. I'd give it a 5 out of 10. It was average to acceptable and nothing you need to see.
