Thoughts: OC screwed around too much here. This team isn't good for Swerve and makes him look like a midcarder. OC really hurt this one with the screwing around and I thought it took a while for this to really get going. I wouldn't say it was anyone's best effort and I would just say it was acceptable.

The two teams shake hands after. The Demand and The Lethal Twist come out. Ricochet says they can put down The New Level any time they want. He says they are owed a trios title rematch too. Ricochet then tells them to get to steppin'. Ric says they will escort them out themselves.

Darby Allin and Steven Borden do a promo. Steve says he's been afraid of his dad's shadow his entire life and says Phoenix inspired him. He says Revolution made him wonder if he wants to wrestle or wonder what if? He says he called Darby when he made the decision. Darby says the pressure is on and says he knows what Steve is capable of. He says he's not the 2nd coming of Sting but the first Steven Borden.

The commentators talk about The Butcher. They show a graphic on the screen for him an announce Collision will be dedicated to him.

Renee interviews The Don Callis Family. Josh says he knows Borden has a lot to prove but he was out for 5 month and has a lot to prove too. Mark Davis says they will decimate their opponents.

Thoughts: Britt took no bumps here. I noticed it early on and it was interesting to see how they covered that up. She's clearly still not 100% and I don't know how much more we will see of her in the ring. It was average otherwise. Rebel coming out for her spot was nice though.

Rebel rides Britt to the back in her wheelchair and they nearly fall over. Rebel then gets a chant.

Thoughts: Finlay really bumped around here for DF but I don't know if he sold enough around the big bumps. It was mostly all action here without a lot of downtime. It was still alright though.

Will gets up after and look at Mox on commentary. 

Brodido and Adam Page are interviewed. Brody asks if they are still in the hunt for the trios titles and Brody doesn't think he is. Page says he needs this and says they are still a trio. Band is okay with it.

He says Mox was the only man who pinned him in 2026. He says it won't be like Dynasty. Will says the time limit won't be an issue and he's coming at him with a game plan and not revenge. He says he knows what it takes to beat a Death Rider and says caving in his skull is a good way to start his reign. Mox says it looks like he has it all figured out. Will says he'll see in Chicago.

Thoughts: There were some brutal bumps here. The apron powerbomb one of The Buck's took looked awful. Kyle took a hard ddt on the apron and a Buck was back body dropped through a table. Kyle also took a powerbomb on a flat table on the mat that had to hurt. It was all action with little selling and I didn't like it that much.

FTR attack a Buck after. FTR then hit a shatter machine. Darby Allin and Steven Borden then come out to save The Bucks. The Bucks shake hands with Darby and Borden after.

Overall thoughts: It was a weak show storyline wise as not that much went on. The opener was acceptable but OC tried hard to bring it down. The women's trios match was average and Britt Baker is clearly not 100%. Idolo/Mortos was average. Finlay/Osperay was acceptable and Finlay took a lot of bumps. Steven Borden didn't really impress in his TV debut but he wasn't awful. I didn't like the main so much as it was pretty brutal at times and the selling wasn't there. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as it was an average show. Lots of people were missing from this one.

Thoughts: Why would you have this go to a time limit draw? It's a three-way tag. There's nothing on the line. The results don't matter. This result was absolutely stupid. As always with these types of matches, the format made it hard for it to be good as so many people were involved and were coming in and out at various times. It was average.

Shinno then pounds on Rea after. Shinno's and Rea's teams then go at it after.

Thoughts: The finish was a bit random here as they weren't doing a ton of submissions. Hum did a decent job here and was working hard. It ended up just being average in the end though.

Thoughts: It was acceptable. They tried and followed the format but it wasn't anything too great. It wasn't a super serious main. There was nothing wrong with it, just nothing great either.

Yuuka talks on the mic after and closes the show. The girls are given gift bags for winning and Mayu tries to steal the stuff from them.

Here's some recaps from the backstage promos:

Aleah James talks after. She says she came to prove she's a worthy contender. She says she's been here for 2 months and she learned a lot. She says she must keep going and go to the finals.

Mila Smidt and Shinno talk after. Mila said they could have won this one. She says CHIAKI wanted to make it personal. She says Chiaki was lucky today and says when they face each other, there won't be any friends helping her. She says she will kick her @ss. 

Overall thoughts: Misa/Aleah was average. Diana/Shoko was so-so. Mega/Kouki was bad. Nagisa/Nao was below average with a bad finish. The three-way tag had a similarly stupid finish as they went to a draw for no real reason. That one was average. Hummingbird tried hard against Yuzuki but the match was average. The main was acceptable but nothing must see. I'd give this a 4 out of 10 overall. It was a below average and the show wasn't that good. The booking didn't help this one either. The main was probably the best match on here.

Eddie says he didn't come here for a lesson in manners. Eddie says Victor knows he out of WWC as a Director but he can still wrestle here as a wrestler. He says Orlando is going to vote him out of WWC and says he will come for the company completely.

Eddie says he and Victor aren't friends and it won't change overnight. Victory says Eddie was a worker and a wrestler and they built things together. Eddie says respect knows respect and says Orlando is being disrespectful. Eddie says Id he was some wrestlers like Andrade he can give him them.  Victor thanks him for that. Victor says he knows that there will be tension with Orlando. He says Orlando came here to steal WWC and says what he's doing is sad. Victor says Orlando will never gain full control of the company.

Eddie says the enemy of my enemy is friend. He says they are on better terms and he will find an outside figther to knock Orlando's head off his shoulder. Victor says Orlando is not going to steal WWC and says he will stay with WWC for years.

Abel closes the show and says we will see the Eddie vs Orlando match in full next time.

Orlando Colon talks in the mirror to himself and celebrates his victory. He says he did it and now he's the Director or Operations at WWC. Orlando says Victor Jovica invents Director of Operations positions to create scapegoats. He talks about Eddie's next match and things he should face Chicano in a dumpster match at Septiembre Negro. He says he will face Zcion RT1 for the Universal Title there as well. 

Thoughts: I'm not confident on that translation as I felt like the translations weren't good.

Overall thoughts: It was a bit of a better episode than usual as we got some non-wrestling segments and had more storylines playing out than usual. We got 2 matches and both were clipped so it was hard to really judge how good they are. They looked to be alright though. I'd give this a 5 out of 10 overall as what we got was acceptable here.

IWA Puerto Rico Impacto Total 5/30/2026

IWA Puerto Rico Impacto Total 5/30/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/09/iwa-puerto-rico-impacto-total-5232026.html

The next live event is IWA Legend Mania on 6/6. It has:

IWA Tag Titles - Super Atomo and El Gladiador Boricua (c) vs Big Tito Lincoln and Cesar Aldea 

Zenith Zion vs Vanilla Vargas

Barbie Boy vs El Wizard 

----

Raul Magnum is on commentary alone here.

Pedro Portillo III does a promo. He says it's uncomfortable for him to know that people think he has no feelings and values. He says it's hard to tell people he's the best. He says it's different for Luis Perez. He says their difference isn't vision but behavior.  He says he would never disrespect people like he did. He says if he touches him he's the bad guy. He says he doesn't care and has no worries. He's that king of guy and is happy to be the most hated guy in PR. He says he's the guy who will bring and take Luis Perez out of IWA. He says he's the best wrestler the country has had for the last 25 years.

We then see clips of Pedro slapping Luis and Luis saying he will beat him and take his head with the fans' support.

IWA Tag Titles - Super Atomo and El Gladiador Boricua (c) vs Cesar Aldea and Vulkano

Note - So Edrax Torres and Aldea were the tag champs heading into the 5/16 El Gran Festival de Lucha Libre show. They had an open challenge match. It appears that they lost the tag titles at that show to Super Atomo and El Gladidor Boricua, who answered the open challenge. But, that bout didn't air and it wasn't mentioned. It's also unknown why Atomo and Boricua are fighting on this show again. Suffice to say, I am very confused.

Boricua and CA lock up. CA side headlocks him. CA shoulders him over. Boricua hiptosses and dropkicks him. Boricua and CA trade punches outside. Boricua hits punches on CA then CA lariats him. Boricua is held in the corner for punches from Vulk. Vulk foot chokes him and CA gets some cheap shots in. 

Vulk chops Boricua and lariats him down. Vulk suplexes Boricua for 2. Vulk boots and stomps Boricua. CA hits corner spears on Boricua then snapmares him. CA chinlocks him. 

Boricua hits CA in the gut then they double clothesline each other. Atomo tags in. He hits shots on Vulk then flying headscissors him. Atomo corkscrew kicks Vulk. Atomo top rope crossbodies Vulk for 2. Atomo and CA trade punches. CA black hole slams him.

Boricua flying shoulders CA twice. Boricua shoulders him over and superkicks him. Vulk spinebusters Boricua. Atomo hits shots on Vulk in the corner then Vulk hits shots back. CA and Atomo are whipped into each other. Boricua jumping codebreakers Vulk and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a simple and basic match. It was acceptable but completely forgettable. The faces got beaten up, made their comeback and won.

Super Atomo does a promo on El Mexica. He says he is fighting El Mexica, who is agile, fierce, dangerous and has been around the world. He says he knows he's coming here for a title match. He tells Mexica to understand that if he thinks he will come here and implant Aztec blood in his territory, you are wrong. He says Puerto Rico is not intimidated and they are not afraid of anyone. He says Mexica is facing an entire nation. He tells him to be well prepared because it cost him blood and tears to obtain and he won't let Mexica take it.

We get a video on Ricky Banderas' career. They say he is reuniting with his brother Glamour Boy Shane and they say Ricky wants to re-claim his IWA World Title. 

Mr. Iguana says he's coming soon to IWA with La Yesca.

We see clips of Atomo and Boricua being beaten up by Manu, Savio Vega and Aldea after their match. Vega says they wanted to be champs and their's their title. Pupe Jackson runs down with a kendo tick and the heels run. Pupe says he wants a shot at Manu's title. Manu says he accepts. Vega says he will be the special ref.

IWA World Title - Special Ref is Savio Vega - Manu (c) vs Pupe Jackson

Pupe runs in, slides between the legs and hits punches on Manu. Pupe armdrags him and dropkicks him out. Pupe chops him outside and Manu chops back. Pupe punches Manu in the ring. Pupe is tripped into the buckles and takes a german for 2. 

Manu rakes Pupe's eyes with his feet. Manu hits mounted shots on Pupe. Manu chops Pupe. Pupe no sells it and chops back. Manu eye pokes him then lariats him. Manu suplexes Pupe for 2. Manu chinlocks Pupe then flatliners him. Manu does a koji clutch. Pupe fights out of the hold. 

Pupe hits back elbows on Manu. Manu ddt's him. Manu goes up top and Pupe overhead throws him down. Pupe hits punches on Manu then back body drops him. Manu 2nd rope twisting crossbodies him. Vega slow counts Pupe for 2. Pupe cutters Manu. Vega slow counts again for Pupe for a 2 count.

Pupe argues with Vega. Manu goes up and over Pupe then dropkicks him in the corner. Manu blue thunders Pupe for 2. Pupe michinoku drivers him for 2. Pupe top rope elbow drops Manu. Vega is refusing to count the pin and argues with Pupe instead. Jose Navarro then runs in and rainmakers Pupe. Vega of course somehow doesn't see it. Manu snetons Pupe and pins him.

Thoughts: We've seen a couple of this matches with Vega as the special ref. They all have gone similarly. Vega slow counts the faces, fast counts the heels and makes it impossible to win. It makes sense but you can only see it so many times. They had an alright match otherwise with Pupe getting close to pulling off the win before his former partner Navarro cost him the bout. 

We see a replay of some of Ricky Banderas' promo from last week. Banderas says welcome to the world of El Mesias. He says there will be a new story that he will write. He says no matter what excuse El Dragon Nihan has, he swears that Nihan will face him. He says Savio Vega is on the same path. Ricky says the title Manu has will be his. Ricky says he's not alone as he has Glamour Boy Shane with him and he's his lifelong friend. He says Shane has always been with him in his worst moments. He says he will put an end to Vega and his people. He says there will be a new era on 6/6 whether Vega likes it or not.  

Overall thoughts: I really wish they would have aired some of their recent tag title changes. Even clips would have been fine. It makes it hard to follow along when title changes aren't aired. We only had 2 new matches were and some replayed promos. Both matches were random and fine but they were simpler matches and they were nothing must see. Vega being a heel ref is getting old and I hope it is stopped soon. I'd give this a 5 out of 10 overall and it was acceptable.

TNA Xplosion 9/4/2026

TNA Xplosion 9/4/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/09/tna-xplosion-8282026.html

The only new content is:

Cheeseburger and The Home Town Man vs The Verdict (Bryce Donovan and Vinny Scalice)

Vin hits Home in the corner. Home shoulders him over. Home stomps him in the corner and running hip attacks him. The faces do their own dueling chants and they double suplex Vin.

Thoughts: It wasn't bad. CB and Home played underdogs and Home kind of played to the crowd a bit too much here. Bryce and Vin were fine as heels. It was something different at least and was a welcomed refresher. Bryce may be better off as a tag wrestler for now. 

Overall thoughts: We only had one new match here and that was the only new content on this one. It was a decent undercard match but nothing great. You don't need to see this one, but you can get through the new content in under 10 minutes. I wouldn't recommend this one.

WWE NXT 9/8/2026

Thoughts: JP got pinned kind of easy here. It was an okay bout. They worked well together. KJ's split-legged moonsault was nice and I think JP slapped KJ at one point right in the gut.

Wren Sinclair beats up KJ after then pushes the ref down. Wren hits KJ with a kendo stick. Officials come out to separate them.

We see Robert Stone filming a video from yesterday. Moreno and Dar come in. They want Stone to do something about The Creed's. Stone says he brought them in. Moreno says they need The Creed's. Dar says the same and Stone signs it for today.

Myles Borne does a video from his car. He says he is wondering if he made a mistake and threw away his brotherhood with Tav. He says maybe his misjudged it and maybe he's wrong. He wishes him good luck tonight. We see Tavion Heights watching the video with Hank and Tank. Tav says he has a North American Title to win tonight and all this has to wait.

Thoughts: It got enough time to play out and had a lot of action as expected. The Creed's won and they needed to since they are restarting here. Moreno showed a little more here than usual. This was fine.

Birthright talk in the back. Dempsey says it's time they stop being treated like an afterthought. Regal and Finlay walk in. They say they need to step up. Regal says the issue with Zilla and King isn't done yet. Regal says he a history with Zilla's dad Umaga and he tells Dempsey to bring them a piece of Fatu tonight. 

Mr. Stone talks to Wren Sinclair and asks what's up. Wren says she's tired of being everyone's door mat. Stone says he will have to suspend her and Wren is escorted out.

Charlie Dempsey is in the ring. He says enough is enough. he says he's underappreciated and says he's been substance over style. He says he never sold out. He says when he was asked to join Birthright, it was too good of an offer to pass up. He says they want to mold the business into a proper shape. He says he's supposed to show everyone that he's the best grappler in the company but they all get made to look like fools.

Dempsey says he's sick and tired of being like a joke all the time. He says he won't wait for NXT to take him seriously. He says the company is turning its back on the real wrestlers for failed football players. He says it's time the people who deserve it come and take it. 

He says he knows Zilla Fatu is watching. He says Zilla has something they need and they can make him a star. He says let's start fresh and says they know what it's like to be stuck in your father's shadow. Dempsey says he should come out and accept their offer. 

Zilla Fatu comes out and says the majority of what he said was true. He says he does have a chip on his shoulder. He says he can't grapple with him but can turn it up. 

He says he appreciates the invitation. He says he's not one of the ones but the main one. He says his answer is hell no. Uriah Connors comes out. He says they aren't asking him but telling him. Birthright then group attacks Zilla. Zilla fights them off. Grace slaps him. King chairs Zilla. Fatu takes a 4 person powerbomb through the commentary table. Zilla then gets shirt ripped off.   

Thoughts: Dempsey wasn't bad on the mic but it wasn't quite his breakthrough moment here. 

Naraku does a promo. He says Shiloh Hill doesn't understand that trying to learn  about the mist can harm him. He says the different mists can hurt you different ways. He says he will experience every color and painful effect of the mist if he keeps it up. He tells him darkness awaits.

Thoughts: There was a lot of different things going on here and I don't think they really did a great job getting any of it. I'm  just not a big fan of Drake's matches in general and Tavion isn't exactly on the top of my favorites list either. I thought it was so-so. 

Myles Borne appears in the stands. Tav spots him. 

EK Prosper, Cruz Montana and Keanu Carver talk. They argue but Cruz says they all want the title. Cruz says let's lock in so we can fight next week. Stone walks in and wants to make sure they are ready for the match.

Zaria comes out to talk. Zar says someone has always stood in the way of her getting gold. She says she shed Sol Ruca 7 months ago and look at what she has done. She says she was craving redemption and she was finally the one holding 2 titles above her head. She says she will keep being the most dominant women's champion this brand has seen. 

Izzi Dame gets on the riser and interrupts her. She says the entire universe might buy her facade but she doesn't. she says she sees through her fake act. She says she has become everything she hated. She says she wants to show everyone who the real Zaria is.

Thea Hail comes out and says we all agree we don't care about what Izzi said. Thea says she wants the Women's NA title and wants to prove she's a one hit wonder. Zaria says she wouldn't be here without Jaida saying something and says she will always rely on others. Thea says she has a real friend in Jaida. Zaria asks when will she learn. She says she will learn when she gets over Sol. Zaria goes to attack her and is sent shoulder first into the post. Thea kimura's her and Zar taps. 

Thoughts: This one didn't really do it for me. Some of the shots Izzi was taking could have been said about her. They have to be careful about what they say sometimes in these promos.

Myles Borne talks to Hank and Tank. Borne says he made a mistake and jumped the gun. Tank says Borne needs to apologize. Hank says it has to be done face to face. They say it's not the best time for an apology and say he already left. Borne says he will apologize to Tavion face to face next week.  

Thoughts: The Borne/Tavion storyline is an unusual one and we will see where it goes. Do they have the guys to walk it back and just go back to how things were?  

Birthright talk to Regal and Finlay in the back. They give Regal the piece of Zilla's shirt. The Vanity Project come in. Drake says Regal should be proud of them. Regal congratulates them but says Birthright is on the hunt. Dorian Van Dux and Sean Legacy come in and want a title shot. The Creed's then come in and they want a title shot. Cutler James and Osiris Griffin then come in. Everyone argues.

Kali Armstrong is interviewed. She asks who Thea Hail thinks she is by trying to jump the line. Kali says she doesn't need anyone. Lizzy Rain comes in and says she should steal the opportunity like they did a few weeks ago. They argue and officials stop them.  

Winning Team gets a #1 Contender's Match - Mason Rook, Tony D'Angelo and Saquon Shugars vs Cruz Montana, Keanu Carver and EK Prosper

EK is thrown into a hurricanrana on SS in a cool spot for a 2 count. We go to PiP break and return. SS does a weird kick on EK. Cruz comes in and gets sent out.

Thoughts: It was a fast paced bout. It didn't quite get the time it needed but it was something different. We had some fresh matchups here and the teams made for interesting moments. It's a shame we didn't get more as what we got was alright and interesting.

Cruz and Carver try to fight but security stops them. Tony yells at Rook and Shugars tries to keep the peace between them. Waller then talks smack in the camera and the winning teams yells at him.  

Overall thoughts: It was a very busy show as usual. The opener was okay. The Creed's tag was alright. Drake/Tavion had too much going on for me. The main was okay and lead to some interesting matchups but I wish they would have given it more time to play out. I'd give it a low 6 out of 10 as the wrestling was okay, but things aren't going that well storyline wise. They just have a large group of people who aren't that over and aren't strong characters and that makes everything tough. The show was okay overall though. 

MLW Fusion 9/5/2026 Kings of Colosseum

MLW Fusion 9/5/2026 Kings of Colosseum

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/09/mlw-fusion-8292026.html

We are in Chattanooga, TN. Joe Dombrowski and Tom Lawlor are on commentary.

Thoughts: I didn't like this one too much. Hill was back to being a bit sloppy and they really didn't get the basics down that well here.

Rich Bocchini talks to Don Gato and Jesus Rodriguez after. Gato says through Jesus that this is one of the best nights of his night. CONTRA Unit of Ikuro Kwon and Okumura come out. Okumura says Kwon wants a title shot. Kwon red mists Jesus.

They go over the MLW Opera Cup tournament matches. The Opera Cup begins next week.

We get a graphic about a Taboo Tag Team Tango, which I assume is where the heels and faces team up.

Matt Riddle is interviewed. Matt says Killer Kross wouldn't be MLW champ if it wasn't for him. Matt says Kross owes him. Matt says he wants to face Brick Savage anytime and he's "bricked up" for it.

Lady Frost vs Corinne Joy

Jazzy Yang is with Joy.

Lady takes her down and pounds on her. Lady hits shots to the gut and head. CJ boots her out of the corner and dropkicks her. Lady flying lariats her. Lady boots her around and throws her down backwards. Lady then kneels on her to try and pin her.

Lady pump kicks her and sends her out. Lady boots her through the ropes. Lady superkicks her inside then cartwheel air raid crashes her. Lady then pins her.

Thoughts: It was basically a squash. Lady didn't do a lot of her more flashier stuff here and mostly just hit boots. It was average. Joy didn't get to do all that much here to show off.

Lady hits mounted shots on her after. Shotzi comes in to stop it. She throws Lady onto the ramp

Josef Samael says Matt Riddle lives a life without cause and has no purpose greater than himself. He asks what happens when the road disappears beneath his feet. He says there's lessons only pain can teach. He says Matt will learn soon from Brick Savage.

Dijak talks to Josh Bishop and says they will run out and do a sneak attack. Josh tells him to stay in the back. Dijak says him and Bishop Dyer know what they are doing.

Thoughts: It was all squash as expected. Damo didn't sell AE's offense much. AE took a nasty bump for the finish.

The Good Brothers are in Japan. Doc says winning the tag titles 10 times is special. Doc says he knows Josh Bishop will take on Killer Kross. He wonders why of The Skyscrapers they will fight but he says who cares. Doc says they are coming for them. Doc says the recipe works so well as it's a magic killer, a just 2 sweet and a 1-2-3.

MLW World Heavyweight Title No Holds Barred Match - Killer Kross (c) vs. Josh Bishop

JB throws him in the corner then hits forearms and clubs. JB chops KK and hits corner spears. JB hits corner splashes. KK takes a snake eyes. JB pulls off a turnbuckle pad.

Thoughts: It was a decent bout. They had some weapons spots, Josh bled and they didn't do a lot of big moves or take big bumps. Josh also went through part of a table here. I liked the finish and thought it was something different. 

They shake hands after. 

The Taboo Tag Team Tangle match will have Killer Kross and Josh Bishop vs Austin Aries and Mistico.

Overall thoughts: It was the usual MLW show for the most part. Hill/Templario could have been a little cleaner and better. We had 2 squashes in a row. The main was fine with Josh Bishop bleeding all over the place and Josh/Kross having a mostly safe hardcore bout. I'd give the show a higher 5 out of 10. It was acceptable.
