Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2024/06/mid-states-wrestling-6282024-season-2.html

We have a battle royale for a title match tonight.

Winner gets a Title Shot 15-Man Battle Royal

All 15 men fight to start. Austin Mulitalo comes off the top on Blue Bolt. Jimmy Fiasco hits chops in the corner with help from Johnny Dynamite. We go to break and return. Ateu was apparently accused of being eliminated by the ref but was not. Muy Macho gets eliminated and apparently Joey Vinetti got eliminated as well.

Johnny Lightning nearly gets eliminated but lands on the steps to save himself. El Matador Uno is eliminated as is Diamond Duke. Brandon Beretta pulls the rope down on Wrex Amadeus to eliminate him. CTV and Alan Jefferson get eliminated around the same time. Gabe The Babe also goes but you couldn't really see it.

Ernie Elwood is thrown out by a bunch of people. El Matador Dos is thrown out onto Ernie Elwood for the elimination. Austin Mulitalo pushes Burt Cameron out with his feet. Jimmy Fiasco and Cannonball Matthews go out at the same time.

Austin throws out Bolt then Johnny Lightning throws out Beretta. Austin Mulitalo back body drops Gary Gram over the top for the elimination. Gary Gram then comes in and nails everyone with his chain in a non-face move.

Johnny Dynamite and Austin Mulitalo trade. Johnny Lightning and Johnny Dynamite hit stereo back body drops. Dynamite and Mulitalo fight on the apron. Multialo is punched and gets eliminated then Lightning knocks Dynamite off the apron to eliminate his own partner. Lightning then eliminates Ateu with a lariat over the top and wins.

Thoughts: Due to the way the camera was positioned and due to how many people were in this, you really couldn't see anything until about halfway through. So people would get thrown out and you couldn't see it. They also had breaks during this and that was a problem too as eliminations happened during or around the break. The big problem here was that we were told Ateu had some issue where the refs thought he was eliminated, but apparently, he wasn't. This happened during the break when we couldn't see it, so I couldn't tell you what actually happened either. Ateu ended up being the 2nd to last person in and was eliminated. This was just too hard to watch and follow and I wouldn't recommend it.

Overall thoughts: There was only one match here and it was a battle royal. Unfortunately, because so many people were in it and because of the camera angle they chose, you couldn't see most of it. Add in breaks which happened while eliminations occurred and some situation with Ateu, the runner-up, which we didn't see, and it was too hard to watch. I wouldn't recommend this one.
