Reality of Wrestling 8/5/2024 Episode #407

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2024/08/reality-of-wrestling-7282024-episode-406.html

We see Danny Limelight and Lexis King arrive together and knock over someone's magazine. We also see some other wrestlers arrive.

Ryan Davidson comes into the GM's (Andrew Jackson) office. He talks about Danny screwing him out of a title and Lexis costing him a match. He asks him to make things straight tonight. He says he wants a handicap match vs Danny and Lexis. Andrew Jackson says we are all frustrated and said he can't have him in a handicap match as it is bad for business. He says a tag team match is good for business though if he can find a partner. Matty agrees and says he will find a partner.

Josiah Jean vs K Toomer

I've seen K wrestle in Memphis before and they talk about him being from Memphis. They lock up and JJ is backs up in the corner. They go for leg kicks. JJ rolls out of a legsweep. JJ superkicks him then K hits a slingblade.

JJ sits on top and is high kicked. K has him on his shoulder and spins him into a ddt to win.

Thoughts: It wasn't that long and had them doing a lot of kicks here. It wasn't anything special. K moves well for his size.

Promise Braxton is interviewed. She said it blows her mind that the company isn't kissing her feet. She said she won a tryout in japan and is coming back to disrespect. She said she will become a 3x Diamond champ tonight and asks the announcer what her name is.

Thoughts: This was a good match. Jada can really move and has potential as an underdog face. She seems better than some of the TNA, NWA and ROH girls already but still could improve her look and hit her offense a little cleaner.

We see clips of Booker T being interviewed by Chris Van Vilet. Booker gets a call. He says he hasn't been calling someone as they haven't gotten the job done. He says his office hours at 9-5.

Thoughts: The match went longer than it needed to but it was good. Ryan and Zilla both had good hot tag segments. Zilla looked like the next big thing here. He looks like someone you'd see in prison, he's got fire and he is athletic. He's basically a second Jacob Fatu. Ryan was good here as well. The crowd got really into this one which helped things out.

Overall thoughts: The women's match and the main were good here. Everything except the opener kind of ran a little longer than it needed to. I had no problems with this one and I liked it overall.
