NWA Powerrr 8/29/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/08/nwa-powerrr-8222026.html

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

We see clips of Drake and Silas staring down last week.

Silas Mason, Alex Taylor, Carson Drake, Aron Stevens, Kyle Davis and Billy Corgan are in the ring. Kyle says it's NWA 78 and he introduces everyone. Billy welcomes everyone to the show and he guarantees history will be made tonight. He talks about Silas vs Carson. Billy says 9 men have had the NWA Title since he bought the NWA and talks about them.

Billy says Silas just came back from defending the title in All Japan. Billy says he wanted a contract signing and wants no shenanigans in the main event. Billy wants Carson to go first and Aron takes the mic. Aron says Carson is not the challenger in the title, he's the uncrowned champ. He says Carson is the greatest success the NWA has known and Silas is the greatest disappointment. He says Silas can go sip mountain water on the mountains after handing his title to Drake.

Silas says Thrillbilly goes up to Thrilladelphia. He says Carson can't buy or weasel his way into the title. He says it is earned. He says Carson earned a title shot and the @ss whooping he's about to give him.

Carson says Silas had nothing to do with the NWA getting the Comet deal and says it was due to Carson. He says Silas has a lot of confidence for someone who couldn't stop his house from burning down. He says Silas can't beat him.

Sirena Veil and "Big Al" Alice Crowley vs Liviyah and Corrine Joy

Thoughts: It was short and nothing too special. Al hit some hard shots here and her team won as expected.

Joy is held after for a stunner from Paige. Shaw comes in and fights off Paige's crew then gets beaten up. Lou then pulls out the person being beaten up out.

Bryan Idol is in the CarShield corner. He says Mike Mondo put his hands on his mom. He says he wants to step up to him and hurt the people who are near and dear to him. He says let's put a ladder in the ring so when he knocks them down like dominoes, they will know he's the champ and he won't let anyone put their hands on someone he loves.

Brandon McCord, Alex Misery and El Dragon Nihan are in the ring and Kyle Davis interviews them. Brandon says every great collection deserves to be exhibited and his is no different. He says they will have a McCord Collection Showcase with El Dragon Nihan challenging Alex Misery for the NWA TV Title. He says may the best man win.

Thoughts: It wasn't that good. Dragon didn't much meaningful offense in and Alex didn't flying as much as I had hoped. It should have been a lot more explosive than it was.

Alex keeps hitting Nihan after and The McCord Collective break it up.

Effy does a promo. He says his NWA TV debut didn't go to plan. He says he is coming back in 3 weeks to become the NWA World Title #1 Contender.

NWA Junior Heavyweight Title - Axton Ray vs Hayden Backlund vs Richard Adonis vs Damian Fenrir

Corgan says Slade is stripped of his title. He says he wasn't focused on his title and blames Aron Stevens. He doesn't give a great reason but kind of agrees that it was due to "detrimental behavior" and says it's a privilege to hold the title.

Ax pops up HB and catches him. HB cradles Ax and pins him with his feet on the ropes.

Thoughts: This was a random one and Hayden winning was a surprise. Hayden hasn't been pushed much or done much of note since he joined NWA. I would have had someone else win this but maybe he will grow into the role. It was average as the format was a bit tough and they didn't get a ton of time to work with. SLADE getting stripped of the title was random and I hope he's not done with the NWA.

The Pope hypes up Mims. He says they don't have The Light with them but together, they have unity and strength. He tells him to listen to him and says they will go all the way to the top. Mims then gives him a mouth piece to match his.

The Cazana's are in Rome. They say they are in the Roman Colosseum and their belts were confiscated. Joe says they came to see the Eiffel Tower and thought they were in France.

Kerry Morton vs Colby Corino

CC misses a shot then KM goes out to stall. CC slingshot plancha's him. CC kicks him against the rail. CC forearms and chops KM in the corner. CC hits mounted corner punches on KM. CC does an olympic slam cariation on him. SS then standing inverted flipping sentons him for 1.

Thoughts: It was average. It just wasn't quite as exciting as it should have been and KM ended up winning as expected. I don't think the break helped this one out either.

KM and CC go at each other after in the aisle. Alex Taylor then comes out and takes CC's side.

Overall thoughts: The women's tag match was nothing special. Nihan didn't get much offense in on Alex Misery and that match wasn't that good. Hayden Backlund randomly won the Jr. Title after Slade was stripped for weak reasons. That match was average. The main was also average. I wouldn't really recommend one and would just give it a 5 out of 10. It was an average show with nothing that good on it with lots of random matches.

Thoughts: It went too far by the end but it was a good opener otherwise. They hit a bunch of complicated spots, Rey Tornado had a fantastic night and it was a main event worthy match in the opener. This couldn't have gone much better than it did and everyone went all out for this one.

Maya talks on the mic after. He says he's tired of his attitude. He says he declares himself his worst enemy and says he will end his career. Maya says he will return to being a technico to finish him off. Cob then drops him and beats him up on the ramp.

Thoughts: I liked it. It got real fast and wild by the end with most of the girls doing dives. It went a lot better than I expected and I thought it was an okay bout.

CMLL World Tag Team Title #1 Contenders Match - Los Gemelos Diablos (Gemelo Diablo I & Gemelo Diablo II) vs. Los Villanos (El Hijo del Villano III & Villano III Jr.) vs. Los Divinos Laguneros (Blue Panther Jr. & Hijo De Blue Panther)

There's too many similar names here so I'm just going to give my post match thoughts for this.

Hijo del Villano got the pin over Hijo de Blue Panther here. It had a lot of people coming in and out. Everyone hit their fair share of big moves and we got a decent amount of dives...and some awkwardness. The lowpoint of the match was when one of the Blue Panther's was on the rails, a Gem tried to tope him but mostly just went into the rails. It was definitely a little rushed but they did what they could do with the tough format here. It was acceptable.

Thoughts: I liked it. Blue defied age as usual here and had a good showing. The upset win at the end was a nice surprise. It was an okay bout.

Averno, Barbaro Cavernario, Ultimo Guerrero & Zandokan Jr. vs. Dragon Rojo Jr., Mistico, Star Jr. & Templario

The heels come out first. The faces come out one at a time and the heels start beating them up. Rojo gets hit on the ramp by Barb. The faces still kind of do their usual entrances even as their partners take whoopings. Barb and Rojo fight outside the ring with Barb getting the edge. Rojo is sent over the rails.

Thoughts: The faces took a long beatdown to start things. They made their comeback. Things evened up for a while then the faces kind of did a second comeback with dives and pikced up the win. It was longer than it needed to be and dragged a little but they got the point across by pushing the Barb/Rojo feud. It was okay overall, but they could have cut a lot of this out.

Hech rolls him around the ring via the head and arm and pins him.

Thoughts: I liked it. They started off hot. Eddie mostly stuck to brawling here and not Japanese moves and Hech got his usual technical wrestling offense in. It didn't go too long either and it went a lot better than I expected it to go.

The announcer then closes the show.

Overall thoughts: It was a good show from CMLL. The first two matches were about as good as you could ask for. The women's trios match was an okay and fast bout. The 3-way men's tag was acceptable. Gran/Blue was another okay bout with Blue ignoring his age as usual. The 8-man tag went a little long but it was fine. Some people really hated the main but I thought it went well and it beat my expectations. I'd give this an 8 out of 10 overall as there was a lot of good wrestling here, it was nice to see some special guests and everyone worked hard.

Storm helps CJ up after. Storm does jumping jacks and superkicks him down. Storm then does push up's next to him while he's down.

Overall thoughts: The Order's match with Cruz/Jared was the best match of the night. Rose/Knox was fine. Steele kind of embarrassed Chuck Swann. Diana/Gigi wasn't much of note. Storm/Thomas was acceptable. It was an okay show as usual from EPW and the shows always have a fun little vibe to them. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 overall.

Abel Durant and Axel Cruz are our hosts.

The hosts welcome us to the show.

The hosts talk about Orlando and Carlito talking about new guys coming in and say Chicano is up to something too.

Eddie Colon talks. He introduces himself. He said his dad being Carlos Colon was like having a superhero as his dad. He says he remembers seeing Carlos bloody but remember seeing him win. He says he and his family used to play wrestle while Carlos wrestled.

Orlando Colon says wrestling was in his life as far as he can remember. He says he would see Carlos' gear when he came back and opened his suitcase. He says there was an age difference between him, Eddie and Carlito. He says he started working in a cantina at age 13.

Carlito Colon then talks about working in the cantina. Orlando talks about spitting on kids when he was a kid. He says the kids beat him up. He says Carlito ran and Eddie was crying behind victor Jovica.

Eddie says he started being interested in wrestling when he was 15 or 16. He say she saw his brother wrestle and be successful and thought it was his turn to try. Orlando says Eddie started wrestling in 99/2000 while he played college baseball. He says baseball didn't work out but he made the call to get into wrestling in 2004 to Eddie. Eddie says Orlando told him he was wrestling incognito in Michigan.

Carlito says he was told Orlando was wrestling in Michigan and didn't believe it. Orlando says Carlos Colon found out he was wrestling in Michigan without his permission. Eddie says the Fireblaze name he used was an inside joke. Carlito says he doesn't know where it came from. Eddie says Carlos liked the name.

We go to break and return. Orlando says when he debuted as Fireblaze, he felt like he belonged even though he wore a mask. Orlando says he lost in mask in 2007 and his career as Orlando Colon began. He says Eddie then got the call to join WWE but he (Orlando) stayed in WWC. Carlito says maybe the mask was a hindrance and a barrier. He says it helped Orlando gain confidence.

Orlando says in 2008, there was a tournament for the Universal Title. He says it was his golden opportunity and says the tournament was based on points. He says then El Condor came back and he knew it was Ray Gonzalez. He El Condo asked him to give him the points he earned in the tournament. He asks why Ray wanted his points. Orlando says he bet his points against him in a match and Ray won. He says Ray destroyed his dream and that's when he became his worst nightmare.

Orlando says the 2009 Anniversary Show came. We see clips of Orlando slapping the ref and getting knocked out. We then see Ray beating him with a TKO. We then see Orlando lose his mask. Orlando says it gave him more energy. He says he then got the call to join WWE.

Orlando said Carlito and Eddie congratulated him. He says Carlito congratulated him. He says Eddie then said they could continue with their dream to become a tag team. Orlando and Eddie talk about their team and how they became tag champs. Orlando says wrestling at Wrestlemania was one of the magical moments of his career. He says his wife supported him there but she had a health setback after. He says he had to take off from surgery to wrestle for WWE and said it was over after that.

Eddie says he then returned to WWC. He says he felt the burden and responsibility of running WWC. He said he made moves the old guard didn't like and made hard decisions. We then see clips of Eddie turning on Carlito and Orlando during that time. He says they were able to reflect during the pandemic and he gives Orlando credit for coming up with a approach and company in LAWE then.

We go to break and return. Orlando says him, Eddie and Carlito are bound together by the way they see wrestling. He says they knew wrestling was going through a change. Eddie said he wanted to modernize wrestling but preserve the history. Orlando says greed took hold of Eddie and it lead to their break-up.

Eddie says the final straw was when Orlando demanded he betray his father. Eddie says he wasn't going to do that. Orlando says Eddie went back to WWC instead of joining him. He says Eddie could have defended him but cried at Victor Jovica's feet. Eddie says business and family don't always mix. Orlando says the break was hard and still is.

Orlando says he had made a commitment and fulfilled them. Orlando says that's their family values. Orlando says he was asked about giving up on LAWE and said it lit a spark in him. He says LAWE is his problem and responsibility.

Eddie says he made mistakes and says his mission to think about the fans. He says sometimes he disagreed with Victor Jovica and thinks he's too old school. He says Victor is learning that you have to change some times though. He says when he tried to make changes, he hit the wall that is Ray Gonzalez. He says Ray has his interests and it doesn't fit with his plan. He says Ray is difficult.

Eddie says he spent a lot and brought in wrestlers and that's where he got the idea to call Orlando. Orlando says he got the call in January and he sensed suffering. He says he saw a shattered man.

We go to break and return. Eddie says the 53rd Anniversary show was suppose to be the biggest one because he had his brother and cousin. He says that's when Orlando showed his true colors again and stabbed him in the back. Eddie says he felt confused and didn't know if he was having a nightmare or not. Orlando says sometimes you have to take out the trash. He says Eddie made him fulfill his commitments and now he is doing it to Eddie.

Carlito says it's not about an alliance, it's business only. Carlito says he has done everything in wrestling and they want to leave a legacy. Orlando says he didn't want to do this to Eddie. He says he would rather cut off his head than deal with him one more day.

Carlito says they want Eddie to understand that joining them is the best way. He says Ray has always been #1 and #2 or Ray. Eddie says he wants to take revenge on Carlito and Orlando and it starts with Orlando. He says he knows his dad doesn't want to see it. Eddie says they've been a united family.

Orlando says he doesn't care about the Director's position, but sometimes you have to take toys form a child. Eddie says Orlando only wants it so he can take away something Eddie values. Eddie says it won't be a match, it'll be something ugly and someone will suffer. Orlando then says another line and that segment ends.

Eddie Colon does a promo. He says next week, he will face Orlando. He says he's been teaming with him for 12 years and now they are enemies. He says Orlando wants to take away his Director position. He says Orlando will have to take it from his hands as he won't make it easy. He tells Orlando to get ready.

The hosts talk. Axel says he will go with whoever wins between Eddie and Orlando.

Ray Gonzalez does a promo. He says Chicano is upset. He says The Colon's are taking an hour to sling mud. Ray says what happened 25 years ago when he returned to WWC wasn't betrayal, it was business. He says he wanted to make good money and he did. Ray compares Chicano to a rat. He talks about Chicano saying he beat up another wrestler then sucking up to that same wrestler years later. He says Chicano has no credibility. Ray says this is personal and Chicano's betrayal is personal. He says Chicano hasn't realized he's vulnerable yet. He says when Orlando achieves his goal, he will fire Chicano. He says what's happening to Eddie is what will happen to Chicano.

He tells Chicano not to worry about what is said on social media and says it seems he's afraid of criticism. he says Chicano can't handle the pressure. Ray says Chicano is wrong if he says it's time for him to retire. Ray says he has gas in the tank and Chicano knows it. He says let's see who is ready to retire and says he will prove it on 8/29. He says he will give it his all to shut him out. He says Chicano is a guy who has no credibility and is just one of the crowd.

He talks about Chicano's issue with some promoter who ended up in jail.He says they can only solve things in the ring and says wrestlers taught him that's how things are solved. He tells him to get ready for the fight of his life and he'll see him on 8/29. He says he will checkmate him.

Overall thoughts: WWC outdid themselves here as we had a show with no actual wrestling on it. We had a long documentary on Eddie/Carlito/Orlando Colon then Ray Gonzalez cutting a promo on Chicano after. You know how it is, the people who run the company always get the most on screen time and that's what happened here. They did a nice job of making you want to see those two bouts but not much else. I'm not going to rate this one since there were no actual matches to rate here, but I don't think you need to see this.

WWC Superestrellas de la Lucha Libre 8/22/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/08/wwc-superestrellas-de-la-lucha-libre_01409338956.html

Next week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/08/wwc-superestrellas-de-la-lucha-libre_0729826481.html

Abel Durant and Axel Cruz are our hosts.

We see clips of Orlando and Carlito sitting in chairs but then cut away.

The hosts talk.

Camila vs Sai Perez

We join this in progress. Sai corner lariats her and throws her down backwards. Sai gets a 2 count on her and stomps her. Sai clubs her. Sai curbstomps her for 2. Sai side headlocks her. Cam crossbodies her twice.

Cam corner splashes her and boots her in the corner. Cam low running back elbows her there. Sai backcrackers her. Sai then crabs her and Cam submits.

Thoughts: This is a tough one to judge since we definitely see all of it. I don't know if Sai worked Cam's back or not prior to the finish but I don't think so. Cam hit a hard low running back elbow in the corner here and put her body weight into this one. What we saw was nothing special.

Brandon The Skater and Stephany Amalbert vs El Payaso Makabro and La Amazona Guerrera

We join this in progress. Steph hip attacks Ama off the apron and clubs her outside. Brandon gets in and Ama chops him down. Brandon begs off and is hit. Brandon then boots and punches her. Ama flying headscissors him. PM tags in. He hits lariats on Brandon and Brandon begs off.

PM trips him and standing figure fours him. Brandon low blows him to break it up. Brandon running lariats PM. Brandon leg chokes PM on the ropes. Brandon hits gut punches on PM and Steph kicks PM.

We go to break and return. PM pushes Brandon away and Brandon elbow drops his back. Brandom stomps him. Steph then joins in. Brandon drops Steph on PM. Brandon bends over and PM ddt's him.

The girls tag in. Ama hits shots on Steph then corner splashes her. Ama snapmares her and basement dropkicks her for 2. All 4 people fight. Steph and Brandon are sent into each other. PM deadfall ddt's Brandon and pins him.

Thoughts: It wasn't a great night for Brandon here as he got beaten up by a girl then got pinned. Brandon got sent into Steph and knocked her over pretty good. What we saw was just average and this was definitely an intergender bout, not a mixed tag.

Tony Leyenda does a promo. He says Xavant will say that he will fight at the next show with his heart and defend his homeland. He says Bryan will act like a dog call him "quefe" (a derogatory term). He says he's seen as the hypocrite though. Tony says he's the best and they know it and he'll become champ again and they know it. He says every time WWC puts him in an uncomfortable position, he comes out with his hand raised. He says he's a once in a lifetime athlete. He says he trains hard for this and will always come out on top. He says the two pigeons he is facing are friends of the bosses. He says he's the end. We saw this already.

"La Amenaza" Bryan does a promo from a car. He says he has a triple threat match at the next show against Xavant and Leyenda. He says they have gotten themselves into a pretty big mess. He says it's been years since he had gold around his waist and it's time he has gold. He guarantees he will come out victorious and says Tony Leyenda will be the greatest pigeon of PR when he's done with him.

Xavant does a promo. He says Bryan and Tony keep talking and they are overlooking that they are facing him for the PR Title. He says they will realize how superior he is. He says Bryan talks and wiggles like a snake. He says Tony couldn't be more of a hypocrite. He says Tony talks trash about PR, then he comes and hits him and it's peaceful again. He says that's the effect the last captain has. He says when you are in PR, you have to respect the people, the territory an it's captain (him). He says he will persevere until he triumphs as that is what people do.

We see clips of the Zcion RT1 vs Lightning feud.

Zcion RT1 does a promo. He says Lightning's time has come to an end and says where better to end it than in the classroom of death. He says Lightning wants the title and has only one chance to win it. He says he has to take him out and he sees it being as being difficult. He says he has one thing in mind and that's to end his legacy. He says he and his revolutionaries are ready.

We see clips of the Chicano vs Ray Gonzalez feud.

Chicano does a promo while sitting. He says there's many thing happening in WWC. He says he got involved in Ray's matches. He says Ray is the prey right now and doesn't know it. He says he's not hiding behind his wife's illness. He says she and him are having their own battles. He says when he needed people most, Eddie Colon and others turned their backs on him.

He says Ray Gonzalez has gone low and says Ray always has to be the center of attention. He says it's because Ray doesn't have much left in his career. He complains about Ray bringing up his wife in their arguments. He then brings up Ray saying he's Carlito's and Orlando's prostitutes. He mentions Ray leaving WWC to go to IWA-PR. He says when Ray got tired of things, he then betrayed IWA-PR and came back to WWC. He says ray didn't do it for pleasure or pride but for money. He says he does it pleasure, not money.

He says Ray wants to be the center of attention. He says he doesn't know why Eddie Colon is bitter about things because he's the one who betrayed Orlando and Carlito. He says Ray needs to get ready for their match. He says a victory over Ray doesn't add or subtract from his goal. He says his goal is to get revenge and hurt Ray. He says Ray's roof is made of glass and how dare he throw stones. He says it's time for Ray to make a decision. He says there will be a new director of WWC on 8/29. He says Ray should put his brain to work and come with the winning team.

They promise a video on Eddie vs Orlando tomorrow and show us some clips of it.

Intelecto Cinco Estrellas does a promo. He says he was disappointed to hear John hawking say the WWC Caribbean Title is prestigious. He says that's arrogant and ignorant and comes from a spoiled brat. He says it's a title of great history and importance and deserves to be won by a true athlete. Intelecto says he deserves to wear it and says he will see him on 8/29.

John Hawking does a promo. He says he's facing Intelecto Cinco Estrellas or the Caribbean Title. He says Intelecto is one of the best talents in PR. He says they have faced each other before and last time, Orlando Toledo interfered. He says Intelecto is a coward. He says he was going to win the match until Toledo interfered. He says he has a second chance to prove he's better than Intelecto. He says the Caribbean Title is his and the fans' title. He tells Intelecto to get ready as he will test him.

The hosts then close the show and say tomorrow's show will be special. Abel asks about Orlando and Carlito's line about new talent coming to WWC.

Overall thoughts: It was the usual WWC show. We got 2 new matches here. We didn't see much of Sai Perez/Camila and what we did see was nothing special. Brandon The Skater really got buried in his intergender tag match and that bout was average also. We then saw a bunch of promos as usual and some that we had seen already. I'd give it a 4 out of 10 overall as that it wasn't that good. I wouldn't recommend it.

WWE Smackdown 8/28/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/08/wwe-smackdown-8212026.html

We are in Ottawa, Canada. Michael Cole and Wade Barrett are on commentary.

Kevin Owens comes out. KO says he has lost many WWE Title matches in 12 years, but none of them felt as bad to lose as the one last week. He says he hurried his injury recover process to get to Summerslam. He says he wanted to win the title last week in Toronto because his parents live there. He says his parents drove to the show and he wanted to win the title in front of his mom. He said Sami Zayn made sure he didn't do that.

He says him and Sami did a lot of messed up stuff to each other. He says he can't forgive it or forget it. He says he will never get an opportunity like that in Toronto, in front of his family and getting the chance to beat CM Punk for the title. He says he will deal with Sami but says Punk knows he had him beat. KO says him and Punk aren't done but are just getting started.

CM Punk comes out. He says he didn't need Sami's help to beat him and they can do it right now. He says he'll send him packing from here. Nick Aldis comes out to stop Punk. Gunther then comes out.

Thoughts: They did what they were supposed to here. Tiff didn't want Green to come in because of her injury. She eventually did and paid for it. It made sense and was fine.

Nick Aldis is on the phone in the back. Danhausen comes in. Dan says he can be the employee of the month. Gunther walks in. Dan offers a handshake and Gun ignores him. Gun wants to confirm there's a triple threat tonight and no other changes. Nick says may the best man win. Dan asks if he can added to the match and Nick says no.

JJ superkicks her. Paige headbutts her. Reid gets on the ropes and Paige sends JJ into the ropes. Fallon tries to get in and Paige kicks her. JJ cradles Paige and pins her.

Thoughts: We had a lot of shenanigans here. Paige tried a little harder than usual and it's a shame we didn't get more a match as it was going fine.

Nikki Bella then nails Paige from behind and hits mounted shots on her. Nikki spears her and hits bad stomps. Nikki TKO's her.

Finn Balor and Cody Rhodes talk. Cody's wondering what to do with Orton. Finn says to keep it cool and says Orton is trying to goad him down into a dark path.

Yachty says he has bigger fish to fry and isn't worried. He says Baron put him through a table on ESPN. He says he will do the impossible, last the 5 minutes and they will get the title back.

Trick then runs into Baron Corbin. Baron says he has no friends as they make you do stupid things. He says he will whoop that Trick. He says he doesn't have to be entertaining, he's the champ.

Cody Rhodes comes out to talk. He says there's a lot of talk of Orton getting #15, but that's not the record and 18 is. He says if anyone breaks the record, it's Orton. He says Orton kept getting do-overs and he has screwed up again by getting between him and the title.

Byron Saxton interviews Rey Fenix. Rey says he loves Penta but he will be a world champ. Ricky Saints comes in and mocks Rey. He says it's a cute story. He says the part we all know is when Rey loses the tournament and has to stop ducking him and give him a AAA Cruiserweight Title shot.

The Miz and Kit Wilson come in and are talking normally. Kit says they were lab rats on Nick's watch and says he is toxic. Miz says Nick owes them. Nick says they can fight Nakamura and Kyoki next week. Miz tells Nick to write this down in a notebook Kit has.

Punk then gets hit with it. Sami then holds the title but everyone is down. The show then ends.

Thoughts: They were really rushing here so I knew something was up. I figured Sami was a lock to get involved and he did. They did the best they could here with the circumstances but this didn't even have a finish so it's hard to give it any kind of rating. I'm glad no one took the loss here because no one needed to lose this. I don't really think Sami is wrong for getting involved here since title opportunities are being handed out like candy yet he can't get one.

Overall thoughts: Chelsea Green's tag went fine. The Women's US Title match went better than I expected and I would have liked to have seen how it went with a cleaner finish. Tatum/Michin was fine. We didn't get a finish in the main. It was rushed, there was a lot of interference and they did the best they could with all that went down. The show was fine as a whole but the matches were loaded with interference and the women got 3 of the 4 matches shown. I'd give the show a 6 out of 10.

WWC Superestrellas de la Lucha Libre 8/16/2026

Yesterday's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/08/wwc-superestrellas-de-la-lucha-libre_0336107293.html

The next show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/08/wwc-superestrellas-de-la-lucha-libre_0352634089.html

Abel Durant and Axel Cruz are our hosts.

Carlos says they need reinforcements now. Orlando says they are coming with the new blood. Carlito says they need a person with a solid character. Carlos talks about a girl who is nice but will rip your finger off if you mess with her.

The hosts hype up the next show.

Lou Forza vs Oscar Benabe

We join this in progress, but I think it's close to the beginning of it.

The wrestlers compete for cheers. OB is on the ropes and is hit. Lou clubs him and hits punches. OB hiptosses him and dropkicks him. OB armdrags him into an armlock. OB hits chops. OB bends over and is thrown down backwards. Lou punches him in the head and chokes him.

We go to break.

Sai Perez says she will face 3 girls at the next show. She says those girls have already see the quality of her wrestling. She say she will make the girls sweat. She says she will them what it means to be a real fighter and says to find out on 8/29 if you don't acknowledge it. We saw this already.

La Guerrera Amazona does a promo. She says Sai Perez wants to talk about the past. She talks about her being in the stands and cheering for her family. She says she was taking classes and making dirt biscuits. She says that allowed her to get where she is now at the top of PR wrestling. She says truth is written in hsitory. She says anyone can be called a fighter but she will teach Sai how to be a wrestler. She says get ready as she will knock her teeth into her clothes.

We return from break.

Lou is supposed to move out of a top rope double stomp but ends up rolling into it. Lou sky highs him for 2. OB double underhook supelxes him and pins him.

Thoughts: We joined this in progress and I'm not convinced that they didn't clip the bout during the break. What we saw was average. Lou rolled into a top rope double stomp when he was supposed to avoid it and he took a hard double underhook suplex.

Orlando Colon does another promo next to his mirror.

He talks about the match with Eddie Colon says Eddie will wake up with a new boss.

Eddie Colon does a promo. He says the time for talk and suffering is over. He says he's stil reliving what Orlando did to him. He says Orlando will have to take his Director of Operations stocks out of his cold, dead hands.

PM knocks him over twice and backdrops him. Chicano claymore kicks him and hits mounted shots. PM's head is banged off the buckles. PM boots him out of the corner then russian legsweeps him.

Chicano superman punches him and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a quick squash. Why? I have no idea. It was over before it really even got started.

Chicano hits mounted shots on him after. Chicano sharpshooters him. Ray Gonzalez runs out and we cut away.

Tony Leyenda does a promo. He says Xavant will say that he will fight at the next show with his heart and defend his homeland. He says Bryan will act like a dog call him "quefe" (a derogatory term). He says he's seen as the hypocrite though. Tony says he's the best and they know it and he'll become champ again and they know it. He says every time WWC puts him in an uncomfortable position, he comes out with his hand raised. He says he's a once in a lifetime athlete. He says he trains hard for this and will always come out on top. He says the two pigeons he is facing are friends of the bosses. He says he's the end. We saw this already.

"La Amenaza" Bryan does a promo from a car. He says he has a triple threat match at the next show against Xavant and Leyenda. He says they have gotten themselves into a pretty big mess. He says it's been years since he had gold around his waist and it's time he has gold. He guarantees he will come out victorious and says Tony Leyenda will be the greatest pigeon of PR when he's done with him.

He says that's the effect the last captain has. He says when you are in PR, you have to respect the people, the territory an it's captain (him). He says he will persevere until he triumphs as that is what people do.

We return to Ray Gonzalez running in on Chicano. He hits punches on him. Ray boots him out of the corner and low blows him. Ray then hits punches. Ray gets on the mic. He says the people know what a piece of sh!t he is. He says he, Carlito and Orlando can deceive all the people but he knows what goes on from A-Z. He says Chicano is back in WWC because of him and not Victor Jovica. He says Chicano is using his wife as excuse for his situation. He says he's taking handouts from Orlando Colon and has become his prostitute.

We cut ahead. Chicano says it's easy to buy the conscience of the fans and tells a fan to shut up. He says they will fight on 8/29. He says he agrees that this will start on 8/29 (I think he means he won't fight today). Ray says on the 29th, he will checkmate him.

Zcion RT1 does a promo. He says the war with Lightning has gone on for a decade. He says he remembers it and Lightning's partner Thunder. He says him and his partner ran into a surprise and it was seeing the revolution raise like foam. He says the rest is history. He says Lightning had to bring out Toledo, Forza and Sole last time to save him. He says it's time to put an end to this war. He says they will do it in Zcion's style in the cage of death. He says he will end his legacy once and for all. He tells him to enter the cage if he wants to be champ and take out the maximum leader. He says he will have to kill him and tells him to prepare for the fight of his life. He says he will end his legacy and show him that this is the time of the maximum leader. He says he will have a bunch of fans supporting him and seeing the legend get destroyed.

Chicano does a promo. He says Ray Gonzalez puts his foot in his mouth when he speaks. He says he says so many things that his brain can't tell him how to organize them. He says Ray has lost his glamour of speaking in front of the camera. He says Ray will pay dearly on 8/29. He says Ray is trying to brainwash the fans and says the fans do what he tells them to do. He says the coin has two sides. He says he doesn't care about the outcome, just hurting Ray.

Ray Gonzalez does a promo. He says last time in Aguadilla, Chicano wanted to humiliate and abuse El Payaso Makbro so he stepped in. He says the people know what a piece of trash he is. He says Orlando Colon used him and he became his whore. He says Orlando is a pig. He says Chicano is from the barrio and knows that pigs can't be forgiven when they betray their family. He says they will solve their problem and Chicano can defend his position of being a suck up and whore to Orlando and Carlito. He tells him to show PR he can do the job Carlito and Orlando gave him. He says he's not Payaso, he's Ray Gonzalez and he will checkmate him.

Intellecto Cinco Estrellas does a promo. He says he knows hypocrisy reigns on this planet, he wants the people to admit they missed him. He says supposed champs and stared appeared while he was gone and thought they could take his place. He says John Hawking is at the worst moment of his career because he's involved with the most dominant fighter today. He says he's the gentleman no one should provoke and he'll see him on 8/29.

John Hawking does a promo. He says he has to defend his Caribbean Title vs Intellecto at the next show. He says the title is staying with him. He says the title belongs to him and the fans. He says he won't let a coward like Estrellas hold his title. He says to be prepared as he is coming with the support of the fans and will prove why they call him "The Great John Hawking".

We see a video on Eddie Colon vs Orlando Colon.

The hosts talk and shill the next show. They then close the show.

Overall thoughts: It was the usual WWC show. There were 2 matches. Forza/Benabe was average. Chicano squashed Payaso Makabro. We saw some new promos here bust mostly repeats we had already seen. I wouldn't recommend this one and thought it was the usual below-average effort from WWC. I'd give it a 4 out of 10.
