Thoughts: I didn't like it. It had a weird structure to it. They were all set to go home half-way through then had a second half to it. It also went longer than it needed to.

BS picks her up like a suplex and kind of rams her into and over the top. BS traps her arms and drops her face first from the piledriver position. BS then pins her.

Thoughts: It was a little unusual as it was basically heel vs heel with no clear faces. It wasn't that good and Starkz won as expected.

Mina Shirakawa interrupts when Isla says she's the most talented and most beautiful. Mina says what she wants is Mina. Sh says she will get Mina. Isla says she can't wait. Mina says she doesn't drown but makes waves. She then dances.

Caprice Coleman does an interview with Scorpio Sky. CC says he feels like Sky can do everything in the ring and can do MMA. Sky says MMA training is insane but says you have no breaks in wrestling. He says he's goal oriented and MMA helps with that as he has to work towards a date. Sky says singles and tag matches in pro wrestling are different and he likes them all.

Sky says he was always an MMA fan. He says he went to the Green Ranger's dojo at age 10. He talks about being 170 and said he had a martial arts body.

Thoughts: It was fine and was what it should have been with Sol flying around and Mark overpowering him. I had no problems with this.

Mort pop up samoan drops him for 2. Band crucifix drivers him. Band satellite headscissors him into a pin attempt and pins him.

Thoughts: It wasn't that bad. They didn't have the time to go all out here and they didn't. Band did his flying and Mort mostly did his basic offense.

Band hugs the ref and fans after.

Overall thoughts: I didn't like the opener as it went long and had a weird structure. I didn't like Priest/Angels as Alan mostly kicked Priest's butt before losing. Vance won a squash that wasn't bad. The Dark Order won their usual squash as well. Starkz/Kai was like a heel vs heel match and it wasn't that good. Soleil/Mark Davis was fine and was what it should have been. The main wasn't that bad. I'd give it a 4 out of 10. The show was mostly random and there was a lot of filler that we didn't really need to see with few storylines being advanced. It was below average.

WWE Main Event 9/3/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/08/wwe-main-event-8272026.html

Blake Howard and Vic Joseph are on commentary here.

Matt is on the bottom rope and Kit sweeps him. Matt then hits a leg lariat and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a short waste of time that ended before much was accomplished. Kit got jobbed out here for nothing.

The War Raiders (Erik and Ivar) vs Fraxiom (Nathan Frazer and Axiom)

The Raiders are the current AAA tag champs, so it's unlikely they lose here.

Ivar shoves him down. NF enzugiri's him and Ivar misses a splash. Ivar shoulders him over. NF enzugiri's Erik. Erik takes shots from both opponents and a short ddt. Erik forearms Ax down. Ax is double pounded on against the ropes.

Ax hits punches on Erik. Ax is popped up into a powerslam. NF takes a double team powerbomb and is pinned.

Thoughts: It picked up a bit in the second half. I didn't think they got the flow right in the first half. It was what you would expect with the faces flying and The Raiders pounding on them. It was acceptable but could have been better.

Overall thoughts: There were 2 new matches here and it only went 16 minutes long. The opener was a short waste. The tag match was better but not as good as it could have been. I wouldn't really recommend this one as it was so-so, but you can get through it pretty quick if you watch it.

TNA Impact 9/3/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/08/tna-impact-8272026.html

We are in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. Tom Hannifan and Matt Rehwoldt are on commentary.

Matt Hardy comes out to talk. He says him and Jeff walked into Lockdown as the tag champs but didn't walk out as the tag champs. He says The Nemeth's beat them. Matt says they didn't live up to expectations at Lockdown. Matt says their dreams as kids was to hold the tag titles once. Matt says the most special tag titles they held were here in TNA. He says the TNA Tag Titles mean everything to them. Matt says they wanted to use their rematch clause but someone took Jeff out.

Matt says Jeff doesn't remember what happened and he said he has never seen him in this state. He says Jeff hasn't bounced back after injury. He says the people who have the most motivation to do this are The Nemeth's as they know there's a rematch clause. Matt says he holds them responsible.

Matt says The Hardy's will not die.

The Nemeth's come out. Nic asks why Matt won't die already. Nic says they beat The Hardy's for big money and to get paid. He says Matt better watch his mouth with his accusations and says they didn't touch Jeff. Nic says they aren't taking Jeff out for free and says Matt still lost. Matt says he made a mistake...he came out here. Matt then punches The Nemeth's. The Nemeth's get the edge with the 2v1. Security comes to break it up and does.

Gia Miller interviews Trey Miguel. Trey says him and Jason Hotch both want Ali and the International Title. He says he loves him and trained him but it's about something bigger. He says he hopes Mustafa Ali is watching and says he is owed everything that is coming to him.

Elayna Black talks about losing at Lockdown and says it affected her more than she thought. The Elegance Brand walks past and ask if they are interrupting something. They make fun of her for losing and say they are going to celebrate as they have a champion. M says the difference between them is that when the pressure was on, she didn't disappoint those who came to see her. Black says she might just take the title from her. M says she's not getting a shot and says Heather By Elegance will fight Black. Heather isn't thrilled and Black likes the idea.

Expressions does the introduction for AJ Francis and says he's the greatest big man in the business.

AJ Francis vs. Brent Oakley

Brent runs at him and hits shots to the gut. AJ misses a splash. Brent hits a sliding germans on him then he takes Expressions' hat. Brent slips on a springboard and AJ spears him. AJ pins him.

Thoughts: It was just a quick squash and not much else. Brent's been used a lot on TNA lately through Xplosion.

AJ gets on the mic. He says he proved he's the best man in the business and the best AJ to step into a TNA ring. He says he's the best person for Avery Styles to have his first TNA match. He says if it's not past his bedtime, he will give him the @ss whooping that his daddy never did.

Santino Marella comes out. He says he usually doesn't agree with AJ and his buddy, but he does today. He brings out Avery Styles. Santino asks if Avery wants to face AJ next week and Avery says "hell yeah". Frankie Kazarian then comes out. He says Avery isn't ready for this and he won't let Santino throw him to the dogs. He says this is not happening and asks for the crowd to hit his music.

Daria Rae talks to Zoey Serrano and Xia Brookside tonight. She says she needs them to beat their opponents tonight.

Xia Brookside & Zoey Serrano vs. Harley Hudson & Indi Hartwell

Indi spinebusters Zoey for 2. Xia codebreakers Indi. HH spinning lariats Xia. Zoey superkicks HH and all 4 girls are down. The four trade shots. Zoey germans Indi and running knees her. Xia gets a 2 count on Indi. HH dropkicks Zoey through the ropes and HH jumps on Zoey off the apron. Indi does a weak shoulder lock to Xia and submits her.

Thoughts: It was short, a little rushed and not that good. Indi's new submission was random and she didn't do anything to work the arm before winning with it.

Tom the announcer presses Daria to give Indi a title shot.

TNA Injury Report

Jeff Hardy is out of action following the assault he took. Mustafa Ali is still out with a punctured lung.

Ryan Nemeth is down and hurt in the back.

Joe Alonzo talks on the mic ahead of his match. He tells Montreal to get on their feet and show respect to him. Joe says it's his TNA debut (not really as he was on Xplosion). He talks about Leon Slater dropping the X-Title to chase the World Title (Leon Slater is at the commentary table). He says Leon would rather put the title on the shelf then watch Joe take it from him. He tells Leon to watch him make an example of the oompa loompa KC Navarro. He tells the fans it's okay if they boo him as if he wasn't Joe Alonzo, he'd hate him too.

KC trips him into the ropes and hits a 305 kick. Joe puts the ref in KC's way. KC escapes a pedigree. KC rolls him up for 2. KC hits a running sliced bread and pins him.

Thoughts: I don't know if this was the best way to get Joe on the main roster. He lost and it went long. It's not like the match was bad but for a person a lot of people don't know, having a longer match wasn't really going to help him. It didn't quite get over like it wasn't supposed to and I didn't think it was that good.

Leon Slater says we are looking at the next TNA World champ after.

Fabian Aichner says he's looking forward to seeing Leon Slater at Bound For Glory. He says he will pave his way to Bound For Glory next week and says he's numero uno.

TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Title Match - Allie & Kiera Hogan (c) vs. Shazza McKenzie & Vipress

Allie and SM lock up. Sm backs her up in the corner. Allie hits chest forearms and thesz presses her. Allie hits mounted shots. Hogan corner splashes SM then Allie sliding forearms SM in the corner. Hogan baseball slides SM for 2.

Vip takes a codebreaker and a twisting fisherman's neckbreaker. Allie then gets the pin.

Thoughts: It was hard to care since this one was so random and since there was little reason to care. It was just a match and Hogan/Allie won as expected.

Indi Hartwell goes up to Daria Rae in the back. Daria is on the phone and isn't interested. Indi says she just tapped out the champ and is deserving of a title opportunity. Daria says Gabi Forza is the new #1 contender and says she left a better impression on her than Indi has. Indi says she's trying to get under her skin. Daria then pretends to get a phone call and leaves.

Ricky Sosa talks. He says last week was one of the toughest matches of his career. He says he's in pain and The System want to put him down but it won't happen. The System walk in. Eddie says they decide when things are finished and says this thing with Sosa was finished at Lockdown. Brian says Sosa is tough but it doesn't mean anything when you face the gatekeepers of TNA. Elijah comes in and says they've got unfinished business. Eddie says to take it up with Santino.

Dutch vs. BDE

Vincent gets on the mic before the match. He says they've been telling BDE for weeks that they see something in BDE. He says they all know BDE wants his first singles win in TNA.

Dutch grabs BDE by the face and hits chest clubs. BDE hits punches on Dutch and superkicks him. Dutch black hole slams BDE and pins him.

Thoughts: BDE loses again. It was another shorter bout and was essentially a squash here. They mentioned how Swann is doing nothing for BDE as he keeps losing and I don't think that was a good thing to bring attention to.

Rich Swann checks on BDE after. Vincent hits a twisting ddt on Rich. Dutch then carries BDE out on his shoulder.

Mila Moore talks to Mustafa Ali on the phone. John Skyler tries to ask Mila out on a date but she gets interrupted with a phone call.

TNA International Title #1 Contendership Match - Trey Miguel vs. Jason Hotch

They go up to each other and talk. They shake hands and lock up. They let go. Trey wristlocks him. Jason headflips out and trips him.

Jason wristlocks him. Trey armdrags him and kips up. Trey wristlocks him and Jason armdrags him. Jason then kips up. They test strength. Trey backrolls him for 1.

They each pull off their tape on their hands. They hockey fight. Agent Zero comes in, double lariats both and the match is thrown out.

Thoughts: It was basically a random bout. I didn't like this. Neither guy is really in the position to headline a show like this. The match got indy with cute spots where both guys did the same thing at the same time and they no sold. Then Zero came out and got the match thrown out. The beginning of the match also got no reaction. This wasn't good.

Zero double arm chokeslams Jason and leaves both guys laying.

Matt Hardy and Nic Nemeth try to fight in the back. Security and Santino stop them. Santino says if they've got a problem, they can fight next week. Santino says it'll be a World Title match and it's no DQ.

Overall thoughts: This was my least favorite TNA show in quite some time. It felt like the budget for this one was very low. There was little starpower here and the top wrestlers weren't in action. AJ Francis won a squash. The women's tag match with Indi wasn't that good. KC/Alonzo went too long and it didn't get over like it was supposed to. The Hogan/Allie tag was random and not that long. Dutch/BDE was basically a squash. The main was an indy style match, the first half of it got no reaction and Agent Zero got the match thrown out in the end anyway. I'd give it a 3 out of 10. It was just all random matches with nobodies and it was a poor effort from TNA. This wasn't good.

Abel Durant and Axel Cruz are our hosts.

The mayor of Augadilla hypes up the next show there on 9/13/26. He talks about a lumberjack match with fans as the lumberjacks.

Xavant vs Lou Forza

We seem to join this near the beginning of it. Lou yells at him and pokes him. They shoulderblock battle and Lou is knocked backwards. They test strength and Xavant gets the edge. Xavant hits running shoulders and knocks him over and out of the ring. Xavant hen hits an open hand shot outside and drops him.

Xavant hits elbows to the gut and germans him. Xavant hits punches then flying lariats him. Xavant lariats him. Lou hits a back elbow and is crotched up top. Xavant open hand slaps him up top. Xavant then AA's him and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a basic and simple match. Lou lost as expected and did a lot of bumping. Xavant's shots didn't look that good. It was average. We saw this already on the 6/7 show.

El Diabolico does a promo. He says they will be in his own on 9/13 and they are dressed up there because he's back in the ring. He says welcome the prince of darkness to the sharks' pond. He says the 9/13 show will be his last game the end of his antics as he will be in the house of danger. He says he will show him that he's in charge in his town. He says he will show where men and boys are separated.

El Payaso Makabro does a promo. He says El Diabolico tries to intimidate his opponents but he doesn't intimidate him. He says his days of wrestling are coming to an end and says let's play.

"El Hostil" Jovan does a promo. He says it's the fans' turn in Aguadilla to surround the ring as lumberjacks. He says they will fight again and says Brandon will have a tough time again just like he did in Bayamon.

Brandon The Skater does a promo. He says he has an important match on 9/13. He complains about the fans as the lumberjack match. He says he will explain what that is to the fans. He says fans can't bring ropes or cables, just belts. He says they should go to the nearest town or Rayting's Minimarket to get belts to be part of his humiliation of Jovan. he says if you don't like it, that's your problem.

Orlando Colon vs Wilfred Rivera

OC backs him up in the corner and misses a shot. OC backs him up again and misses a shot in the corner. OC then goes out of the ring to to argue with the mayor of Aguadilla. OC gets back in, teases a test of strength and boots him in the gut. OC side headlocks him then shoulders him over.

Wil flying back elbows him then armdrags him. Wil armlocks him. OC tries to slam him but Wil holds on and armdrags him into an armlock. OC boots him.

We go to break.

La Guerrera Amazona does a promo from a car. She says what happened at last night's show is something they shouldn't even talk about. She tells Sai Perez to get ready as they will fight 1v1. She says it's her chance to show the people or PR she didn't come with lies. She says it's her chance to show she's the best wrestler. She says she's going all out to show her that actions speak louder than words.

Lou Forza does a promo. He says ignorance knows no age. He says he's been ignorant at times and is surprised Los Inmortales are playing the fools against them. He says they want to face off at the perfect time. He says he's going straight to the point with them. He says if they still say they are his family then don't compete against him in Aguadilla. He says they will have a bad time and says he and Sole are the wrong people to salvage your career against. He says no one can stop him and Sole.

Wilfred Rivera says last night a successful defense of his TV Title and he has to thanks the fans for supporting him. He says he feels like El Informante is taking things too far by attacking him after he beat him.

He says he's asking for a fight against him now. He says he's angry now and on 9/13, they will face off again. He says he wants revenge and he will see him in Aguadilla.

Tony Leyenda does a promo in the car but he can't control the car or the window. He says he will always find a way to overcome all obstacles. He then smiles and leaves.

We return to the match. OC eye rakes Wil with his boot lace. OC back elbows him. OC snapmares him and rakes his face with his feet. OC kicks him in the back and hits punches to the head. Wil sunset flips him but OC rolls out and PK's him.

Wil leg lariats him for 2. OC flatliners him into the buckles and backcrackers him. OC top rope splashes him and wins.

Thoughts: It got enough time. Wil mostly did the basics here and Orlando won as expected as he's much higher up on the food chain. It was average to acceptable and nothing too memorable.

Chicano does a promo. He asks if what happened to Ray at the last show wasn't enough. He says Ray could hurt his back again and be out of commission and says what if his back flared up again. He tells Ray to bake rolls at is corner store and stay home. He says if they keep it up, he will cause Ray's retirement.

Ray Gonzalez does a promo. He says he will face Chicano. He says he put Chicano in his place for trying to take advantage of a rookie. He says the new Director of Operations Orlando Toledo is giving Chicano some crumbs. Ray says Orlando thinks they are the same but they aren't. Ray says Chicano has a long way to go to do what he has done. He says we will see if Chicano can collect the bounty. He tells him to stop the nonsense and says he will checkmate him on 9/13.

We see clips that we have already seen of:

Special Ref: Ray Gonzalez - Barbed Wire Match - Intelecto Cinco Estrellas vs Zcion RT1

We join this in progress. Orlando Toledo is with Cinco. Cinco low blows RT1. Toledo gives Cinco a weapon. Ray then punches Cinco with brass knucks. RT1 twisting reverse ddt's Cinco and pins him.

Thoughts: Just why? We saw 20 seconds of this tops.

Cinco low blows Ray and RT1 after then hits a side effect on RT1. Cinco punches Ray then side effect's him. Cinco hits mounted punches on Ray then puts him in the tree of woe. Cinco stomps him there while Toledo chokes Ray.

Chicano runs in and him and Intelecto go at it. Toledo tries to separate them and RT1 bangs Intelecto's and Chicano's heads together. Lightning then comes in and chokeslams RT1. Ray and Chicano get beat down more. Gilbert comes in and hits shots on Chicano and Lightning. The heels then leave.

Intelecto Cinco Estrellas does a promo. He says Victor Jovica isn't putting up a barrier on his career by denying him a title rematch. He says as the new Caribbean champ, he's ready to defend it against Zcion RT1. He says Zcion RT1 knows his win over him was luck. He says lightning won't strike twice. He says RT1's fans know he is weaker than Intelecto. He says he knows RT1's weakness. He tells him to stay healthy so he can face him on 9/13.

Zcion RT1 does a promo. He says karma continues to take its toll on Intelecto. He says he promised he would make his life a living hell and make him pay every day for what he did to his family. He says he started making history at the 53rd Anniversary Show. He says he will provoke him. He says Jovica said Intelecto has to defend his title against him. He tells him to be prepared as he will rip out his soul and take the title from him. He says he will show him again who his daddy is in the business.

The hosts then close the show and say Aguadilla is the second home of WWC. They say the mayor of Aguadilla wanted the Zcion vs Intelecto match made for Aguadilla. They say the skating rink in Aguadilla is now their home in Aguadilla

Overall thoughts: It was a bit of a tough one to follow. You see, WWC had a show last night. WWC is still living in 1956 where photos or video of the event weren't possible to see, so we had to guess what happened through the promos and match graphics, since they also didn't tell us the results. This got even more fun with the promos for Intelecto vs Zcion because they referenced their Anniversary Show match...and we still haven't even seen a single photograph from that one. Other than that, we got our usual two matches. Both were basic and average for the most part. Neither were must see. We also got a random replay of clips of an old Intelecto/Zcion barbed wire match that we had already seen. I wouldn't recommend this one. This promotion is just so far behind and the show was anything special. I'd give it a 4 out of 10 overall. This wasn't good.

We join this in progress. Tony stalls. Tony comes up to the apron, pulls Mike's throat over the top rope and stomps him. Tony elbow drops him. Mike hits shots to the gut and Tony back elbows him down. Tony butt drops Mike's back.

Tony misses a corner charge and takes a russian legsweep. Tony lariats Mike down. Tony suplexes him for 2. Tony forearms him and is caught with a spinebuster. Mike fires up and Tony starts walking to the back. Mike tries to follow him but doesn't catch him. Mike wins via countout.

Thoughts: It was short and not much of note here as Tony intentionally got himself counted out. That finish was as exciting as it sounds.

Alberto El Patron vs Ray Gonzalez

We join this in progress. Al spits water in his face and bangs his head off the post. Ray's head is banged off the seats and then the steps again. Al screws around outside and has water spit in his face. Ray then beats him with the water jug and pours water on him. Ray hits mounted corner punches.

Al armbars him over the top rope. Al step up enzugiri's him on the ropes. Al ddt's Ray for 2. Al chinlocks him.Ray chops him in the corner and pulls his throat down over the top rope, which sends Al out. Al's head is banged off the seats then Ray chairs him with a plastic lawn chair. Al's head is banged off the post. Al throws water at Ray and sends him into the post.

We go to break.

We return from break. Al grabs a chair and puts it between the ropes. Ray hits punches on him and bangs his head off of it. Ray hits kicks to the leg. Ray knee drops the leg and figure fours him. Al reverses it, Ray rope breaks and and Chicano comes out to hit Ray in the head with a chair. Al then gets a easy 3 count on a knocked out Ray.

Thoughts: What we got was fine. It was mostly brawling. It's a shame we had to have interference in the end as the match was starting to pick up. Chicano chairing Ray should lead to something down the line. We saw this match already on the 8/1 show.

Tony Leyenda does a promo. He says tonight's match is about 2 suck up's and one fighter who is real and honest. He says the two suck ups only live for attention in Xavant and Bryan. He says he arrived in PR alone and dominated without support as he has confidence others don't have. Tony says Bryan is the tough guy of WWC and has been champ multiple times. He says Xavant is the grand dove of PR and the current champ. He says if you put him in their era or any other era, he will make his name because that's how tough he is. He says he's a fighter. He says the triple threat won't be like the others. He says they won't make a fool of him and says the 2v1 thing ends tonight. He says he needs to win to keep the sport moving forward and says he's here to improve things. He says he has to be at the top of the mountain to do it. He says everything changes tonight and say everything is going in the direction it should. He then says to kiss the hand.

La Amenaza Bryan does a promo. He says he will be PR champ for the 3rd time tonight vs Xavant and tony Leyenda. He says he's tired of Xavant's ego and says he's small and big mouthed like a toilet. He says he will hit him where it hurts and take his title. He says Tony is the largest pigeon in PR. He says he's tired of seeing his face and seeing him say stupid things about PR. He says he will become the new PR champ tonight.

Xavant does a promo. He says he's at the point where he looks at past achievements like nostalgia. He says he will get the biggest win of his career when he beats 2 people tonight. He says his opponents are too busy making jokes. He says he respects Bryan's career but he's not on his level. He says he will give Tony the guianalleta. He says he wants Tony to give it his all. He says he will fight with all his heart and he triumphs. He says he will give his all and beat them because that's what heroes do.

We see clips of some of John Hawking's and Intelecto Cinco Estrellas past matches.

Intelecto Cinco Estrellas does a promo. He says he won't compete with him but will make his anatomy break and take his mind over with sad and bitter feelings of failure. He says then he can go on his own to walk and reflect in the mountains. He says after he beats him for the Caribbean Title, he will go back to being a fool. He says he's nothing like the most dominant fighter in Intelecto.

John Hawking does a promo. He says Intelecto is a dangerous opponent but he doesn't plan to lose the title. He says it's because the title doesn't just belong to him but the fans. He says he has a great responsibility to keep the title. He says he won't let him keep it and denigrate it.

We see clips of the Chicano vs Ray Gonzalez feud and see some of their promos on each other.

We see clips of the Zcion RT1 vs Lightning feud.

Zcion RT1 does a promo. He asks if his fans are ready. He says we will see a war and a sea of blood in the classroom of death. He says it'll be the end of Lightning's story. He says Lightning came back a decade ago but he ran into a revolution that rose like foam. He says Lightning will regret every day of his life tonight. He says he will be waiting for him with open arms tonight. He says he has once chance to win the title. He tells him to give the last fight of his life because his legacy will be history tonight.

We see clips of the Eddie Colon vs Orlando Colon feud.

Eddie Colon does a promo. He says he doesn't know if PR say the documentary they did on TV. He invites us to come to the show because he has a line up for Orlando. He tells him the time for suffering and regret is over because he's here for revenge and he pays double.

The hosts then talk to close the show and shill tonight's event.

Overall thoughts: We only had one new match here. One other match was shown, but we saw it last month. We had some new promos as well but not much else. There's nothing you need to see here and there's no real excuse for them re-showing matches when there's a bunch of stuff we haven't seen yet. I wouldn't recommend this one and would give it a 3 out of 10 overall. It wasn't good.

Thoughts: It was a fun little squash here. PP's gordbuster was maybe the best I have ever seen and the finish also looked good.

The hosts talk about the show.

Mac Davis interviews Big Vito and Vincenzo. Mac says Sally Boy took liberties in Vito's match with Paul. Vito gets mad, grabs Mac and says he has all the best intentions. Mac brings up Sally drinking Faygo and Vito gets mad. Vito says he's espresso, not Faygo.

The Orange Phantom does a video. He says he's been climbing and shows photoshopped videos of him climbing things. He ays he even climbed on top of our mothers. He says he has one goal left an it's to climb to the top of JCW.

Dani Mo tries to teach The Outbreak how to pick up a juggalette and has them practice their smiles and whoop whoop's. Dani then tells Jacksyn to tell a juggalette she's sexy. Jack then goes up to girls and says nonsense. They run in fear. Dani says Jack is feeling rejection and he has to get used to that feeling.

Kerry Morton 5 Minute Challenge - Kerry Morton vs The Backseat Boyz (JP and Tommy Grayson)

If Kerry doesn't win in 5 minutes or less, he will be fired. Tommy has the long hair.

Thoughts: I don't like The Boyz losing 2v1 here, especially just in under 5 minutes. Someone had to lose here and neither result was going to be good.

Kerry tells Russo in the camera that it is one down and two to go.

We cut to the back. The Headbangers are beating down Choppa City and say they have something that belongs to them. They say they are here and are coming for the belts.

Mac Davis interviews Barnabas The Bizarre and HoKane. He asks about Bloodymania. Barn says he burned every bridge imaginable and HoKane is all he has left. Mac asks if he's having regrets and he does. He says he never thought this would spiral out of control. Mac says he's sorry for all of this and didn't want it to happen.

Shane Mercer comes out, bangs Storm's leg off the post then chairs it. Krule sitout double arm chokeslams Storm and pins him.

Thoughts: It was average. Josh had some really bad strikes here. The ending was kind of funny with Pondo beating up Caleb on the stage instead of reffing the match.

Big Vito tells Vincenzo to go find Sally Boy in the back. Vinny goes looking for him. Painful Paul comes off the elevator. Vinny asks if he has a problem with him. Paul says VInny has a problem and he throws him in the elevator.

Big Vito walks out of the bathroom stall and Sally tries to hug him. Vito asks if he's one of "them" now and says he's supposed to be family. He asks why he hit him in the back and asks him about drinking Faygo juice. Vito says he's tired of this. Painful Paul then gets behind Vito and tells him to get his hands off of him. Vito says him and Sally should take out Paul. Sally backs out. Vito then says him and Paul should finish this once and for all. They go to fight and Vito kicks the camera man out.

Mike bets Mac that he will find him. The camera man asks if they see what's behind them and they see Bigfoot. They then chase him as the show ends.

Overall thoughts: Facade/Paul was fun. I didn't like Kerry's handicap match as there was no good outcome there. Krule's match was average. The main wasn't that good. Storyline wise, we had some good stuff here though with the JCW/GCW feud, the hunt for bigfoot, Dani Mo teaching The Outbreak how to do things and the Vito/Sally stuff. A lot of people were not wrestling here or involved that much in the show. The show only went 1 hour and 22 minutes, making it one of the short editions of Lunacy in a while. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 as the storylines carried this one as usual and it was alright overall.

Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling Mayhem 9/2/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/08/maple-leaf-pro-wrestling-mayhem-8262026.html

We are in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Don Callis and Mauro Ranallo are our hosts.

Ace Austin vs Jonathan Gresham

JG offers a handshake and AA obliges. JG side headlock takeovers him, Ace goes for the headscissors and they stand off. JG takes him down and AA pushes him out of the ring with his feet. JG stalls outside.

They lock up and test strength. JG hammerlocks him. AA throws him out off of it. They do the headlock > headscissors spot. AA hits armdrags into an armlock. AA puts him on the apron and JG holds the ropes open for him. JG then clips him from behind.

JG kicks him in the knee and sunset flips him. They trade pin attempts. They trade chops and forearms. JG takes off his wrist tape, the ref takes it and JG hits AA low. JG rolls him but is rolled into a bridge. AA pins him.

Thoughts: It was fine. JG was more heelish than usual here. He worked Ace's leg. Ace squeaked out a win with a bridge pin while JG was trying to work the leg.

Psycho Mike talk in the mirror and says he kept telling himself to work harder and be patient. He says every time he gets his shot, it becomes someone else's moment. He says maybe he's just the guy in the background.

We get a video on Sinner and Saint. They say Travis Williams isn't neglected and can talk his way out of most situations. He says he will get you while your down if he can and says it's not the method, but the results. The voiceover guy says it's an odd pairing. The voiceover guy says they can be the best to ever do it. He says they belong nowhere and only trust each other. We then see them fall asleep at a cafe.

Jody Threat vs Alexia Nicole

They lock up. JT wristlocks her. AN tries to reverse it and JT side headlock takeovers her. AN headscissors her on the mat. JT side headlocks her. AN back elbows her then flying headscissors her. AN shotgun dropkicks her.

AN superkicks her and JT catches her hurricanrana. JT lariats her down then back elbows her down. JT pump kicks her and meteora's her from behind on the ropes. JT germans her. JT hits an F-5 and pins her.

Thoughts: Jody won quick but Nicole got a decent amount in and had a nice showing here. It didn't get the time to be great and Jody won as expected.

Adam Copeland does a promo. He says he knows why Steve Maclin went to the US. Cope says he's been all over the world and says Steve is a tough man. He challenges him for the Maple Leaf Gardens show. He says if he's got the set, show up.

Steve Maclin interrupts the commentators. He asks who they can have a show called Mayhem and not have "Mr. Mayhem". He says Cope can't keep his name out of his mouth and he'll see him at Northern Rising if he wants it.

Michael Allen Richard Clark vs Zack Gowen

Mike does push up's and tries to get Zack to do one. Zack then rolls at him and chases him on all four's. Mike slides out and trips Zack. Zack low one-legged dropkicks him then leg drops him. Mike back body drops him. Zack cradles him off a suplex attempt.

Mike lariats him and stomps him. Mike does push up's on Zack's back and leg. Mike elbows him in the head. Zack boots him out of the corner. Mike misses a corner charge and goes into the post. Zack top rope moonsaults him and pins him.

Thoughts: I don't think having Mike lose here was the right call. It was another shorter bout here and too short to be anything. Mike was in control of this one for most of it before getting put down.

Rohan Raja talks about Mexico. He says Mexico was a reminder and he had to prove who he was. He says he didn't lose the fight, just his way. He says Mexico gave him best. He tells any wrestler to come prove that they are the best.

The First Faction do a promo. Sheldon Jean says everybody wants a shot and every team thinks they can beat them. He says Sinner and Saint want a shot. He says it'll be better next week as 4 teams will be competing for a title shot and they ask if they really want to do this. He says they will be embarrassed and will face the people who run this place.

Interim MLP Canadian Title - Stu Grayson (c) vs Johnny TV

Stu waistlock takedowns him and rolls him for 1. Stu rolls him up for 2 then armdrags him. Stu goes up and over then misses a corner charge. JTV handstand kicks him from the apron. Stu sweeps him on the apron and slingshot swantons him there.

Stu boots him out of the corner. Stu hits shots on him and flying lariats him down. Stu diving ddt's him from the 2nd rope. Stu asai moonsaults but JTV gets his knees up.

JTV drops him with lariats. JTV leg lariats him. JTV takes a belly to belly overhead suplex then takes 2 more. Stu asai moonsaults him for 2. Stu TKO's him for 2. JTV dominators him then springboard enzugiri's him for 2. JTV hits a moonlight drive. JTV misses starship pain.

JTV is up top, Stu walks up the buckles and superplexes him. Stu flying pumping knees him. Stu hits a torture rack backbreaker on his knees and pins JTV.

Thoughts: I figured Stu would win here since he just won the title and is being featured. What we got was fine but nothing too memorable. I'm not sure if JTV losing a match like this so soon out of nowhere was good call though as MLP has limited names and he seemed like he was going to be pushed.

Stu gets on the mic after. He says the last time he was in the ring, Josh Alexander came out. He says Josh returning isn't the problem, he says Josh returned when he's not cleared to wrestle. He says if Josh wants to step on his moment, he better be ready to fight him. He says Josh wasted his time. He says he knows Josh will be looking for him and says he's easy to find as he's the champion in the ring.

Overall thoughts: The opener was alright. We had 2 short matches that didn't accomplish a ton, though Alexia Nicole had a decent showing. The main was also fine here. We got a few promos/videos in between here as well and some stuff was set up for next week. The show was okay overall but nothing must see. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 overall.

WWE Evolve 9/2/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/08/wwe-evolve-8262026.html

We are at the Performance Center. Robert Stone and Blake Howard are on commentary.

Robert Stone and Blake Howard talk at ringside. They say both title pictures change tonight.

Sarah Schreiber then hypes the two fatal four-way's tonight. She then talks to Harlem LEwis at the VIP Lounge. Lewis says he wanted a front row seat to see who is next in the Harlem Violence World Tour.

Max Abrams comes out in a towel and some kind of ski mask. He says yes he did get work done. He says he saw some doctor in Miami and says Max is in the 99th percentile for bone density. He says you can say a lot about him but you can't say he's ugly. He tells everyone to put their smart phones on mog mode and ask, "Do I need help?". Max says the answer for the fans is yes and says to follow in his foot steps and get help. He says the doctor told him he is healing tremendously. He says he can't wait to show him the new him but until then, the x-factor is coming out. He says that guy will win the #1 contendership.

WWE EVOLVE Title #1 Contendership Fatal Four Way Match - It's GAL vs. Cutler James vs. Harley Riggins vs. CJ Valor

Thoughts: It was a fun little four way here. Gal flew around a little and did some different stuff while Cutler used his power. They also built up a Lewis/Harley match off of this. This one worked.

Cutler stares down Lewis after.

Nikkita Lyons meditates in the back and Sloane Jacobs tries to interrupt her. Sloane says she booked them for the VIP Section tonight. They discuss who will win the 4-way. Lyons says it doesn't matter who wins as none will beat her. Lyons then ignores here to meditate more.

Laynie luck talks to some of the babyfaces in the back.

Zena Sterling does a video. She says she was taught in Ukrainian culture not to speak out. She says she's constantly told what to do around here and thought she had to change. She says she tried to fit in but got talked down to. She says she couldn't contain herself anymore. She says Layla Diggs saw her true self and now we won't see Diggs on Evolve anymore.

Thoughts: Zena had some rough moments here. I figured Luck would win and I was surprised to see Sky win instead. What we got was acceptable.

Lyons comes in the ring and holds her title up at Sky after.

Overall thoughts: We had 2 new matches here only. Both got enough time. The men's match was fun and the women's match was acceptable. Skylar Raye winning the 4-way was a bit of a surprise. I kind of enjoyed Max Abrams' opening segment and The Mog Squad were kind of entertaining in their segment. They also set up next week's matches through those which was good. The show was fine overall and I'd give it a 6 out of 10 overall.

EPW Wrestling Unleashed 8/29/2026 Episode #257

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/09/epw-wrestling-unleashed-8222026-episode.html

Cone wins.

Thoughts: This was an unusual one with CJ really going after the ref, maybe even more so than his opponent. The finish was a new one too with the ref doing a flip off the 2nd rope and counting the pin after. This was a little awkward at times and could have been better.

Aaron Roberts is interviewed. Aaron says his ankle is as good as it will get. He says you can't put him down no matter how much you try. He says he came to town for Dorian Vain. He says he wants him at his best and says he got him p!ssed off. He says Vain has a problem and says the bad man has come to town.

Jimmy welcomes Elijah Owens to The Order.

Jimmy says Dorian Vain is one of the greatest athletes and says Izzy Rotten is one of the toughest. He says he hired K-Swiss as his assistant and wants him to do the right thing. Swiss says the people are so dirty here, you don't even want to shake their hands. He says they will show them who The Order is. He then goes to say it's an executive order and Vain tells him not to overstep his bounds. Vain then tells Owens that he's only here because of Jimmy. He says the moment Owens steps out of line, he will take great pleasure in bouncing him out of here. He tells him to earn his keep and says he doesn't like him or trust him. He tells him to cut out the "self-made" stuff and says he's "made to order".

Vain says Marko Harris should be a afraid of him and that's why he's not champ anymore. Vain says they will hurt Aaron Roberts again and that's an executive order.

EPW Apex Title - Eli Knox (c) vs Xero vs Elijah Rose

Ty jumping flatliners Zay for 2. Ty runs at him, takes a spin kick then Zay hits his exploder slam on him. Zay pins him.

Thoughts: It was alright. They did some cuts here so I think we missed some stuff. But they had the idea right with the heels cheating, the face making his comeback and getting put down. Ty did a lot of flying here and Zay's offense looked good a usual.

EPW World Title - Aaron Roberts (c) vs Dorian Vain

AR limps to the ring. AR hits punches on DV and lariats him down. AR tries to slam him but can't due to his ankle. They go out and AR hits chops. DV is sent into the post.

DV then grabs the chain and chairs AR for the DQ.

Thoughts: I figured something was up as they only had about 8 minutes and this was a big match. It was fine and made sense. DV worked the ankle all throughout and lost via DQ when it wasn't enough. AR sold and made his comeback just fine.

DV puts AR's ankle in a chair and DV stomps the chair.

Overall thoughts: This was a little bit of a different show as this was not at the EPW Arena. CJ/Cone wasn't as good as it should have been. It had an unusual finish as well with the ref doing a moonsault to make a count. The three-way was acceptable Zay/Ty was fine. The main was also fine but ended via DQ. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 overall as it was alright enough

EPW Wrestling Unleashed 8/22/2026 Episode #256

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/09/epw-wrestling-unleashed-8152026-episode.html

Next week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/09/epw-wrestling-unleashed-8292026-episode.html

We are in Booneville, MS. Gene Jackson and Joey Gross are our hosts.

Eli Knox is interviewed by Sarah Blake. Eli says everyone says Moses Cain has gotten in his head and he's scared of him. He says he's big but it doesn't matter because he's the gold standard. He says if anyone should be scared, it should be little Moses Cain. He says he's the gold standard and he always walks out on top.

The hosts talk. K-Swiss interrupts them and demands they give him his job back. The interview Allen Pounds says he got a message from Downtown Bruno. He says Bruno said Swiss did a good job at the concession stands. He says he might have been #1 at one point but now needs to go clean #2 in the restrooms. Swiss says he's not doing it. Swiss then walks off, seemingly to go clean as he was told.

Dabbs goes up top and Zay crotches him up there. Gage knocks Zay off the apron. Enrico grounded chokes Gage and Gage is out. Enrico's team wins.

Thoughts: The faces didn't connect that well on some of their moves and that hurt it. The Project needed a win to get established, but maybe it would have been better to build to this one a little more before it actually happened. They had some decent ideas here but it was so-so.

We see clips from a recent show in Mississippi.

EPW Apex Title - Eli Knox (c) vs Moses Cain

Hollywood Jimmy is with Eli.

They go face to face and MC shakes his head at him. Eli escapes a chokeslam and slaps him. MC lunges at him and Eli tries to slide out. Hollywood Jimmy and MC tug of war over Eli. MC hits punches on Eli in the corner.

Thoughts: It was a fun a little match and they did what they were suppose to here. Eli had to cheat to get anywhere and Moses was a slight face here and destroyed him otherwise. Something like this was the only way Moses could believably lose here.

The announcers wonder if Elijah Owens has joined The Order after.

Dorian Vain vs Ty Miller

Thoughts: It was a decent underdog match here. Ty did some nice flying before being put down as expected.

DV grabs the ref's belt after and chokes Ty with it.

K-Swiss is in the bathroom and is cleaning the toilet. He sees that he is being filmed and yells at the camera man. He then closes the door.

He says WB doesn't belong in the ring with him. JE says no one in Mississippi can beat him. He says he will kick his teeth down his throat for good.

JE turns around and is superkicked in the gut. WB then pins him.

Thoughts: It was fine. James did everything he could do to get heel heat here and did the job. There was nothing wrong with this and the right man won.

Overall thoughts: The opener disappointed and was only so-so. Eli/Moses was what it should have been and Moses even got over some as a face. That was a fun bout. Ty Miller had a good showing against Dorian Vain and they had a decent match. The main was fine with James Ellsworth really trying to heel it up. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 and I thought it was a fun show overall.

Gene Jackson and Joey Gross are our hosts. We are in Booneville, MS

Raven Black is interviewed. She is told Diana Taylor told her she stole the title. She asks how she stole it. She says she got the 1-2-3 and walked out as champ. She says she can say what she wants, but she has the belt. She says when Diana comes after her belt and loses, she wants her gone.

Aaron Roberts is interviewed at ringside. He says he's not a hard man to find. He says if Hollywood Jimmy wants to take him out, he'll meet him in the ring right now. He says to bring as many people as he wants.

Jabari Young's crew comes out. Jabari gets on the apron and Enrico Sterdivant sends Cone into the post. EO hits doi fives on Cone and pins him.

Thoughts: Jabari's crew coming out to interfere was surprising. EO picks up another win due to luck essentially. What we got up to the finish was going fine.

EPW Women's Title - Raven Black (c) vs Diana Taylor

Rav misses lariats and takes a single leg dropkick. DT misses a corner splash. Rav bulldogs her. DT jawbreakers her and side slams her for 2. Rav samoan drops her for 2. Rav legdrops her but DT no sells it. DT gets up and leg lariats her for 2. Rav hits her in the gut and spinebusters her for 2.

They both kind of go for spears/flying tackles and collide in mid-air. Rav grabs a chain. The ref takes it from her. Rav then grabs another chain and nails DT with it. Rav reverse curbstomps her and pins her.

Thoughts: It was average to acceptable. I didn't expect Diana to win here and she didn't. I'm not sure if that stipulation Raven talked about in the interview is actually happening though as the announcers didn't really mention it. There were a couple of moments in this where it could have been a little cleaner.

Wonder Boy is interviewed. He says he wants to prove that he can be the champion for the fans. He says the things that have happened with Mike Anthony lately as made his confidence take a hit. He says a wise man once said that any man with two hands has a fighting chance.

He says the line about anyone having a fighting chance with two hands is his line. He says Wonder Boy isn't a hero but is a loser like the fans. He says he will show him what a loser he is when he kicks his teeth down his throat next week. Wonder Boy says he's on.

The announcers tell us Cody James is 100% healthy and off concussion protocol.

EPW Tag Titles - The Initiative (Trace Lee Hunt and Jason Genesis) (c) vs The Blacklist (Cody James and Chris Styles)

Jason throws a chair at Chris' head after. Cody facekicks Jason over. Hunt olympic slams Cody. Cody is tied up in the ropes but Parental Advisory come out to make the save.

Overall thoughts: We started out with a decent angle with Aaron Roberts getting injured by The Order. Young/Aries was rushed but I liked it. Owens/Cone had a dirty finish but it continues Owens' streak of getting lucky wins. It was fine. The women's match was average to acceptable. The main event was the best match on the show. The two teams beat each other up good and Jason Genesis had a good night. We did get a DQ finish on that, but it should lead to something. The show was fine overall and I'd give it a 6 out of 10.
