EPW Wrestling 5/30/2026 Episode #244

 

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/05/epw-wrestling-5232026-episode-243.html

We are in Booneville, MS. Joey Gross and Gene Jackson are on commentary.

Chuck and CJ blow a spot and Chuck just runs him over. Chuck jumping ddt's him. Chris comes in and drops The Initiative with punches. The Initiative are thrown out. Chris half crab's CJ and Jason breaks it up with a superkick. 4 of the 6 fight outside. Chuck hits a bad bulldog variation on CJ and pins him.

Thoughts: Chuck and CJ weren't on the same page here and a couple of their spots got messed up. I think it needed a bit more time as there were a lot of people involved and not all of them got featured all that much. We also didn't get a big extended finishing sequence. It was acceptable.

Wonder Boy is interviewed, fresh off of his Crossroads Cup victory. WB gets a title shot anytime and anyplace due to winning. He says nature will call when it's time to cash in the cup. He says with great power comes great responsibility and says the cup is great power.  

Wonder Boy vs Disorderly #1

They do a double knuckle lock and Boy throws him off. Boy corner flying forearms him. Boy goes up and over then armdrags him. Boy crossbodies him for 2. Dis chokes him and rakes his face on the ropes. Dis hits corner spears. They punch each other. Dis hits a big punch then hits a big uppercut.

Dis double axe handles him. Dis hits more punches and Boy fights back with punches and chops. Dis' head is banged off the buckles. Boy flipping neckbreakers him. Boy claymore kicks him and pins him.

Thoughts: It was simple, but I liked it. Disorderly threw some nice punches here and he did a decent job of roughing Boy up before Boy came back and won.

Kale vs "The Bulldog" Enrico Sterdivant

Kale offers a handshake then slaps ES when he goes to take it. Kale ducks a charge and hits leg kicks. ES then knocks him down with a hard leg kick. ES running back elbows him, enzugiri's him and running facewash kicks him for 2.

Thoughts: I liked it. They didn't do anything too wild but the strikes connected and they looked like they were actually having a fight here. They showed some nice spirit in this well. 

Ladder Match - Isiah Cone vs Zay Washington

There is a skateboard hanging from the air here. They hockey fight and trade punches. Zay knees him in the gut and chops him. Cone flying knees him then corner helluva kicks him.

Thoughts: No one got hurt and they gave us a couple of spots here. What we got was fine for a match at this level and they set up a new heel faction at the end here. 

Zay throws the skateboard down into the floor after.

Overall thoughts:  We had 4 matches here and all of them were at least acceptable. The opener could have used more time. The 2nd and 3rd matches were shorter bouts where they did the basics well. The main event ladder match was fine. They didn't do anything too wild but it was relatively safe, no one got hurt and we got a a big highlight spot or two out of it plus the formation of a new heel group. I enjoyed the show and would give this a 6 out of 10 overall. It was good.

IWA Puerto Rico Impacto Total 5/9/2026

IWA Puerto Rico Impacto Total 5/9/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/05/iwa-puerto-rico-impacto-total-522026.html

The next live event is on 5/16. It's called El Gran Festival de Lucha Libre. It has:

IWA World Title - Manu (c) vs El Gladiador Boricua

Super Atomo vs Pedro Portillo III

Pupe Jackson vs El Dragon Nihan

Jon Dave Rose vs Jose Navarro

2Hot4U Open Challenge 

La Copa Alcaldesa de Loiza Rumble Boricua

--- 

We see clips of the Pedro Portillo III promo on Luis Perez.

IWA Puerto Rican Title - Super Atomo (c) vs Pierto Tenorio

PT is from Peru and is the PWA champ.

They lock up. PT side headlocks him then PT shoulders him over. SA leapfrogs then they armdrag each other. PT boots him off a lock up and clubs on him. SA hits chops. PT crossodies him for 2. 

SA boots him in the gut then sitout torture rack bombs him for 2. PT hits kicks on him then ddt's him over the 2nd rope for 2. PT suplexes him for 2. SA hits punches then flying headscissors him. SA corkscrew kicks him. SA 2nd rope diving blockbusters him for 2. 

We go to break. Savio Vega does a promo on Ricky Banderas. He asks if Ricky remembers which latrine Savio pulled him out of. He says Ricky's brain is fried and says he's no good. He says he brought him here to do a job but he failed. He says he was done with him a long time ago and won't waste time with anymore as he went to Mexico with a coward. He says he'll bring him back and says he needs to focus on El Dragon Nihan. He says on 6/6, Nihan will finish him off.  Vega says he will give him a negative blessing.

PT codebreakers him and twisting suplexes him for 2. PT springboards and SA counters with a coderbeaker to win.

Thoughts: It was a random one with no build, so we knew PT wasn't winning here. It didn't really get enough time and was just your usual juniors match. This wasn't a great way to debut Pierto nor was it a good way to make the PWA Title look strong.

El Wizard Analiza

2Hot4U are interviewed. Wiz is hyped for them winning the tag titles. Edrax says they are back and he's a 4x champ. Cesar says it's the return of greatness. He says they are issuing an open challenge to any team who wants a shot. Edrax says wrestlers from other planets can answer the challenge too. 

IWA World Title - Special Guest Ref - Savio Vega: Manu (c) vs Slade Wolfborn

Vega holds the title up and SW takes it. Manu shoves SW. They lock up. Manu puts him in the corner and pushes him out. SW stalls outside. SW ducks a lock up inside then stalls more outside. Manu hits him from behind and chops him. SW is sent into the rails. 

Manu hiptosses him and armdrags him into an armlock. SW ropebreaks. SW eye rakes him and stomps him in the corner. Manu boots him in the gut and SW back elbows him. SW throws him down by the arm for 2. SW snapmares and kicks him in the back.

Manu hits a big chop. SW pulls him into the ropes. Manu hits hard chops. SW eye rakes him then cutters him for 2. SW hits him with his crotch. Manu gets up and is mad. SW backs off. Manu hits more big chops. 

Manu back body drops him. Many flying corner forearms him then flying forearms him for 2. SW grabs Vega and he low blows Manu. Vega does a very slow count for 2. A second ref runs in and complains about Vega's count. Vega hits the second ref and throws hi out. SW rolls up Manu with the tights and Vega slow counts again. 

A third ref comes out and argues with Vega. The 3rd ref pokes him and get slapped and thrown out. SW piefaces Vega then Vega roundhouse kicks him. Manu sentons SW and wins.

Thoughts: It was a weird match. SW didn't get over as the face in the other match, so they had him be a heel here. But that meant Manu, who is usually the heel, had to get over as a face and that was a problem with Vega cheating to help him win. Vega cheating as the special ref is also getting a bit old. Manu hit a lot of hard chops here.

Mr. Iguana does a promo. He says they are coming to IWA PR soon so get ready.  

Overall thoughts: Like last week's episode, it wasn't one of my more favorite IWA episodes. I'm not sure what happened but a bunch of new names were brought in and it was hard to get excited about various random matches while the usual crew was missing. There were only 2 new matches here and neither were that good. I'd give it a 4 out of 10 and would say it's below average. I wouldn't recommend this.

Overall thoughts: There was one new match and one new interview here along with some old matches and clips from Impact. The new content wasn't that good or worth seeing and I wouldn't recommend this. .

WWE NXT 6/2/2026

Thoughts: I was fine with this. They kept it moving and it had a lot of action. There wasn't a ton of story or anything but it was a bit of a wild one. Shawn got busted open under his eye here. I was surprised to see Spears do a franchizer variation.

The Culling don't seem happy with Shawn after.

Thoughts: It was another faster bout here with a lot of action. Tate's doing a pretty good job and is learning quick. I was surprised to see Myka catch him off the apron and slam him around. Both Drake and Tate flew around a bit here. Drake's apron pele kick was neat. I liked this.

Emily Agard interviews Robert Stone. Stone says The Bash will be one of the biggest nights in NXT history. Osiris Griffin comes in and wants to know where Shugars is. Jasper Troy comes in and he argues with Griffin. Dion Lennox then chairs Troy from behind and the camera's cut out. Griffin and Dion then destroy the room and Troy is buried underneath a shelf.

Thoughts: Darkstate kind of needed to win here and did. I was surprised they didn't have MB cost Tav the match somehow. This was alright and was another quicker paced match. It could have been a little quicker at times.

Shugars taunts Darkstate on the riser and Tav refuses MB's help.

Naraku gives tony his belt after and bows to him. Naraku then looks at Rook outside.

Overall thoughts: It was a night of fast paced matches with a lot of action. I didn't like Rain/Zaria. OTM/Culling was fine. I liked Drake/Tate. The men's Speed title bout was acceptable as was Darkstate's match. The main was fine and Kam Hendrix continues to look good in these bigger matches. There was nothing must see on this one but it was never really boring and as always, a lot went down here. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 as it was an okay show.

Thoughts: I'm not sure what happened in the 2nd fall. The only explanation I have is that Los Calavera got counted out or were DQ'd for stalling outside. The match was going fine but not really understanding what happened in the 2nd fall is a big problem. They definitely could have made that one clear. This wasn't that bad otherwise though.

This was an okay main but it could have maybe used a longer finishing stretch to end this.  

The announcer closes the show as usual. 

Overall thoughts: The opener was decent with Lucky doing well. The second match was average as was the 3rd match. I didn't care for Futuro's match. Jarochita/Lady had an okay bout here with Jarochita carrying it. The semi-main wasn't bad but I have no idea what the finish was to the second fall which hurt things. The main was fine and started off well. I'd give this show a 5 out of 10 as the good, bad and average stuff was all about equal. It was average overall.

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/05/wwe-monday-night-raw-5252026.html

We are in Turin, Italy. Michael Cole and Corey Graves are on commentary.

We see The Uso's and Roman Reigns arrive in a car. They go to the ring to talk. Roman says there's no day like Acknowledgement Day. Jey asks where Fatu is and says Fatu is already late. 

Jacob Fatu comes out. Jey tells Fatu he's moving too slow and Fatu takes the mic from him. Fatu says he knew what he was getting into with Tribal Combat and knew the repercussions.

Roamn says Fatu doesn't understand but he loves him. Jimmy says it's on now and this is a warning shot to everyone in the locker room. Jimmy says says they are the one's and does the hand sign. Fatu then does it.

Thoughts: The PLE could have used this one. It was a good match and a PPV/PLE worthy bout. They had some creative spots, we had some run in's and Paul Heyman even got speared outside. Both guys were in it and they had Bron lose without it being totally clean. This also pushed the Seth/Ford story some. I liked this. 

The announcers then hype up the replay of Noche de los Grandes and cut to it to end the show.

Overall thoughts: I hated the Fatu segment but the wrestling was fine here. And this show was based around in-ring wrestling. The matches were all decent and the main was PLE level match that Clash in Italy really could have used. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 overall as the other segments bailed out the bad stuff with Fatu. It was an okay show overall.
