Thoughts: It was a decent hoss battle here. Beast had a good showing with some powerful looking offense. Crush has a good lock and I wouldn't be shocked to see him pop up around in some places.

Nine Way Scramble Match - Romeo Quevedo vs. Dillon McQueen vs. Shreddy vs. Kuro vs. Tyler Shoop vs. Rhys Maddox vs. Justin Andrews vs. Danny Everbourne vs. Marcus DeAngelo

Dillion McQueen beat DeAngelo here with a crossface. It was a short bout and ended before it really got anywhere. The ring is small here and there were too many people in it. Shoop really tried and Romeo moved well in this. Kuro kept up a fast pace here. They had a real international cast of people in this one with some people from different parts of the US, Puerto Rico and the UK.

Shoop and McQueen fight after.

Thoughts
: I didn't like the canadian destroyer kick out but this is sadly just what wrestling is in 2026. Look, both of these guys are higher end indy workers. The moves were all executed fine and were always going to be but the logic wasn't quite there. It was acceptable but not much more. I thought it went a little long.

They lock up. KB wristlocks her. J cartwheels and reverses it. J side headlocks her then takes her over. J shoulders her over. KB is hit with snake eyes and J running facekicks her for 2.

J blue thunders her. J goes up top and KB pushes the ref into her, sending her down. KB does a split-legged moonsault and pins J.

Thoughts:
It was a decent match. KB had a good showing here. She's got a good look, she hits most of her stuff clean and she worked well with J. J was fine here too. This beat my expectations and KB showed up in one of the bigger matches she's been in.

Ben blocks a counter and then chokeslams him. Ben goes for the pin but Matt has his foot on the ropes. Matt gets on his shoulders and hits shots.

Matt 2nd rope diving cutters him. Matt then wins.

Thoughts:
This was designed to put Ben over as the big monster and Matt as the underdog. They were effective in doing that. But, if you were expecting a classic, this wasn't really it. It was a bit one-sided with Ben mostly destroying Matt before the last part of this.

Shotzi Blackheart vs. Izzy Moreno vs. Sammi Chaos

Thoughts: It wasn't bad. There was nothing wrong with this and it was something different with Sammi being a powerhouse against the other two. Shotzi put out a good effort. Izzy stuck out the least here.

Cha backdrops him for 2. Cha leg lariats him and leg drops him. Cha elbow drops him for 2. JB black hole slams him for 2. Cha escapes a razor's edge and rolls him up and pins him.

Thoughts: They messed up the finish some as Cha couldn't get him over. It was similar to Riddle/Ben Bishop from earlier. Cha Cha didn't have the most impressive night ever and he kind of comes across like a comedy jobber guy. It was average.

Sam Halloway nail Cha Cha after. Josh joins in then Jai Vidal makes them run when he brings a chair in. Jai then twerks at them which I didn't need to see. Cha Cha and Jai dance after.

CCW Heavyweight Title Match - Gangrel (c) vs. Jimmy Lloyd

They lock up and Gang lets go of it. They roll on the ropes then trade punches. Gang gets the edge and takes a knee to the gut. Jim forearms him. Gang hits him in the gut and bangs his head off the buckles.

Jim back elbows him out of the corner. Jim misses an asai moonsault and is ddt'd. Gang picks up the win.

Thoughts
: Gang was moving well and did well for his age. Jimmy didn't provide much here and was about as average as it gets. I don't know why this was the main and it wasn't anything too special.

Overall thoughts:  This was more of a local indy show with some extra names on it. And that's perfectly fine, but there's a certain talent level that comes with that. The opener was good. They had the right idea with Halloway/Vidal. The scramble was too short and had too many people involved. LJ/Rogers was a bit of an indy style match but both guys' offense looked good. Blaze/J-Rod was one of the better matches of the night with Blaze looking good. Riddle/Ben was a bit one-sided but acceptable. I didn't like Charlie/Bishop that much. I don't know why the Gangrel/Lloyd match happened in the main and it would have been better in another spot. Gangrel looked fine but it was as average as you can get. Frank the Clown was absolutely horrible on commentary and I never want to hear him do commentary again. Bill Alfonso did a decent job though. Beastman/Crush was probably the best bout on here. I would give this show a 5 out of 10 and I thought it was average.
