--- 

Sonic welcomes us to the show. He says we have Kenolly vs Ricardo Fila in a title match. We also have Nancy vs Akire Torres. 

Violeta interviews Nancy. She says you should ask how Akire feels. Nancy says she feels great. She says Akire got involved in her title match and she lost the title because of it. She says she will get revenge tonight. She says she doesn't care who gets the chair tonight and says she will get a title shot on the next show if she wins tonight.

Akire Torres is interviewed. She says she will stay champ tonight whether Nancy likes it or not. She says she will be the top contender for the title. 

Nancy gets a title shot if she wins - La Destructora Nancy vs Akire Torres

Nancy is from the EWA. Akire is the current GZW Women's champ.

Vanilla Vargas interrupts on the tron before this starts. She says she doesn't know why they are fighting for the a title that doesn't belong to them. She says she would be champ if they didn't get invovled in her match. She says the title will be around her waist. She tells them to do what they have to do and hurt themselves because the next match is with her.

AT hits Nancy from behind. AT's head is banged off the buckles and Nancy hits forearms on her. AT corner splashes her twice. Nancy black hole slams her. AT goes out to stall. Nancy hits her outside. AT fires back and chops her in the bleachers. Nancy then chops her there. AT messes up a spot and totally botches a dropkick.

Nancy corner splashes her. AT boots her over. AT stands on her then boots her in the corner. AT foot chokes her. AT lariats her then hits mounted shots. AT chinlocks her then dropkicks her. AT corner lariats her then sliding lariats her for 2. AT slaps her around.

They trade forearms then double clothesline each other. Nancy hits forearms then corner splashes her. Nancy hits a corner hip attack. Nancy low dropkicks her for 2. AT cutters her for 2. AT backdrops her for 2. AT grabs the title belt and fights the ref for it. Nancy spears the ref when AT moves.

AT hits Nancy with the title belt but the ref is down. Another ref comes in and Nancy kicks out at 2. AT misses a 2nd rope moonsault. Nancy spears her and pins her.

Thoughts: Akire has a good look and may get some places on that alone but Nancy was the better worker here. I didn't expect much but she held this match together and did well as the babyface underdog. I was surprised to see Akire bust out a 2nd rope moonsault at her size. There was a lot to be improved upon work wise but I still kind of liked it.

GZW Puerto Rican Title - Kenolly vs Ricardo Fila


The ref holds up the title and Fila grabs it. They go face to face and shove each other. They lock up and armdrag each other. Ken hits punches in the corner then hits mounted corner punches. Ken boots him out of the corner then hiptosses him. Ken armdrags him and slams him for 2. 

Ken chops him in the corner. Fila rolls him into a cutter for 2. Fila leg chokes him on the ropes. Fila pounds on him in the corner then 619's him in the back of the head. Fila misses a top rope elbow drop. 

Ken hits some punches then lariats him. Ken back elbows him and shoulders him over. Ken corner splashes him and facebusters him for 2. Fila eye rakes him then hits a leg lariat for 2. They trade shots. Fila eye rakes him then Ken pop-up sitout powerbombs him for 2. 

Ken argues with the ref. The fedd goes out for a second and Fila low blows Ken. FIla argues with the ref then shoves him. Fila misses a hidden blade. Ken michinoku drivers him for 2.  Ken top rope splashes him and wins.

Thoughts:
I thought it was a good match. They worked well together, didn't overdo it and hit their moves clean. I had no issues with it and enjoyed it. 

They talk up close to each other after. Fila offers a handshake and Ken shakes his hand.

Kiko Navarro does what appears to be his segment. He's at a corner store of some sort with people playing slot machimes in the background. He talks about the 4/11 show. He says he's upset and is looking for Jordy and Chino as they are conspiring against him. He says he will blow Jordy's @ss off and tells Chino to stop playing in wrestling. He says he will get a beer as his blood prssure is rising.

Jordy tries to do a promo but keeps getting distracted. He then get grabbed by by someone and they talk amongst themselves. We cut ahead. Jordy's friend is urinating on a wall and tells him their plan. He says it's to find him and beat him. His friend says let's give him a beating and take him out as he always hangs out alone. 

We cut back to Kiko. He thanks the fans and cuts to break. He comes back and is drinking beer. He hypes up the 4/11 show more. He talks about his match with Angel White. He says he has youth and skill. He says White cost him the title and has to pay for it. Kiko talks to someone off camera and says that's all for this segments.

Thoughts: This was terrible. Kiko filmed this in some corner store with people playing slots behind him. Then we had to see a segment with Jordy's buddy taking a leak on the wall, which I didn't need to see.

One of The Brother's Zon's is talking in the parking lot. He says he sees Destro and El Profe in his house. He says he feels vulnerable and like sh!t. He says he can't handle this and says he doesn't know if he can do this kind of match. He says he feels too nervous and scared and doesn't know if he can do it. He says he's thinking about it everyday. He talks to a pole and says its bigger than him and says he doesn't know if he can do this fight with him. The guy's partner then comes in and tells him he's talking to a lamp post. He asks what's wrong with him. 

The wrestler says he doesn't know if he can do this kind of fight. His partner says he can't let him be like this. He says they already passed the test. He says he's stronger than this and asks how he can pull this just weeks prior to the event. He says he will say goodbye to his Mom before the fight. He says he's here to watch his back. The wrestler then says to put the chains on and gets fired up. He says he's scared and says their opponents are beasts. He says he has a lot of anger and tears. He tells his partner to say what he wants.

His partner says on the day of the match, the will do it. He says they will face two beasts and animals. He says they will get into the ring and come out with the tag titles. He says he's willing to shed his last drop of blood for everything. The original guy then says don't come if you don't want to see blood and gets fired up. He says he will shed the blood and color the ring red so that they win. He says they will win or die.

Thoughts
: Now this was a little better. They put some heart and spirit into this and they got over the idea well of them being scared but wanting to pull off the win.

Overall thoughts: This is a smaller company on a lower budget and you really do have to go in understanding that. It's not a WWE level production but the passion is there. The women's match wasn't bad and the men's match was good. We then had a terrible Kiko Navarro segment with Kiko talking in front people at a corner store. We also had a segment where one of the wrestlers pee'd on a wall. They followed it up with a decent promo from the Brother's Zon's that had a lot of spirit. The audio was pretty rough here and I think the announcers were doing this show while they were watching TV. Maybe they aren't the best, but they seemed generally excited about the matches in a Don West way and it kind of grows on you. The one yelling "OHHHHHH" after every big move is kind of entertaining and funny too. If you check this out, you gotta do it with an open mind and I think you might be able to find some enjoyment out of it. I would give it a 6 out of 10, but this is very low budget stuff and is not going to be for most people.

GZW Accion Sin Limites 7/31/2022

GZW Accion Sin Limites 7/31/2022

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2022/07/gzw-accion-sin-limites-7232022.html 

NOTE - I'm still learning a lot of the wrestlers and storylines, so some of the review may not be up to my usual standard. And this is not like the US - these companies do not have websites or a lot of online resources to use to find out who is who.

Joe Colon comes out with his crew of Las Bestias Del Apocalipsis and Nexen.

They talk about some court case they have ongoing. Joe Colon puts himself over for being the man in GZW then GZW Director, Richard Rondon comes out. He reminds Joe that he is the owner of the company. Edwin Garcia and Los Bastardos then come out. Rondon tells them not to attackt Joe Colon's crew as he says there will be suspensions. Rondon tells Joe that he will be defending his title tonight and says there are no days off here. Joe complains and he reminds him who is boss. The segment ends as Los Bastardos say something to Luis Cruz on commentary.

GZW Junior Heavyweight Champ Yoma talks to Ryan Rett in the back, as I think they are going to meet in a title match. Roma says his house is also Ryan's house and says the worst mistake he had made was to lose his mind.

Ryan Rett vs Ramon Rosario

Luis Cruz seems to like Rett and has a lot of faith in him. Ramon is from the Dominician Republic and dances with a fan during his entrance. Luis rings the bell in anger for some reason and both Ryan and Ramon try to get cheers from the crowd.

They shoulder battle early here and Rett can't get all the way over on a leapfrog. Rett then shoulders him over then Ramon armdrags him out of the ring. Ramon goes after him then Ryan hits a strike combo in the ring before clotheslining him. Ryan is on his back and pounds on the back of his head with forearms and flips off the ref. Ryan chinlocks him then dropkicks him. Ryan grabs his wrist tape and chokes Ramon with it.

They trade shots in the corner and Ramon powerslams him. Ramon ducks a punch and hits some of his own then running forearms and lariats him. Ramon crossbodies him for 2 and Ryan kind of does an olympic slam move. Yoma comes out then Ryan runs into the middle buckle. Ramon uranage's him and picks up the win.

This wasn't anything too special and kind of lost the plot during the 2nd half of it. 

Luis Cruz rips Ramon for taking forever to get to and from the ring and we go to break.

We see the video of John Slayer talking in an abandoned building. We saw this last week.

Nexen vs Edwin Garcia

Nexen jumps hm as he enters and they fight on the floor. Garcia punches and chops him against a rail then kendo stick shots him. Nexen throws him in the ring and Edwin dropkicks him off the apron then tope's him. Nexen kind of pounces him from the side and stomp flurries him in the corner. Nexen chokes him on the ropes then leg lariats him. Nexen then suplexes him for 2. Edwin fights back with chest chops then takes a michinoku driver for 2.

They fight up top and Edwin top rope crossbodies him. Both men start to fire up and Edwin hits chops then a flying forearm. Edwin then spears him and Nexen twisting brainbusters him for 2. Edwin fights off a powerbomb attempt and pulls off his elbow pad. Edwin then code red's him and wins it.

It was a decent match. Nexen heeled on Edwin early then Edwin got his big comeback and won it.

Luis runs off from the commentary booth and talks with Joe Colon in the back. It seems like they watch the end of the Nexen/Garcia match and Colon flips out when Nexen loses. We can't see what they watched though, so it's guess work on my end.

Overall thoughts: There were two matches and one was good with not a lot else going on. I don't recommend this one.

GZW Accion Sin Limites 7/23/2022

GZW Accion Sin Limites 7/23/2022

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2022/07/gzw-accion-sin-limites-7172022.html

This show can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69pCpbj40UY

There are no subtitles available for this one. That's just great.

Cano Montes, Hector Irizarry and Luis Cruz welcome us to the show like usual.

We see clips of La Revulocion then we see clips from the Beasts of the Apocalypse/Los Bastardos match last week where Luis got hit and Los Bastardos won.

Los Bastardos do a promo and both are really fired up. They mock La Revolucion's pose and then La Revolucion does a promo on them.

They run down the Summer Bash show.

The announcers talk and we see clips from a match with a masked wrestler named Yoma (The Current Jr. Heavyweight Champion), then see clips from him in an interview segment. Luis Cruz doesn't seem too pleased with him.

Yoma then does a promo with the belt. He talks about his match at Summer Bash.

The announcers talk more over clips of a wrestler named Demolition X.

The guy who manages Drakon, who I believe is Apocalipsis, does a promo on Demolition X.

We get a lot more talking then we get clips with Luis Forza talking about Joe Colon.

We see clips of Danny Angel and Johnny Rose, The Chosen Generation. They do a promo across from the arena on Los Brothers Reyes - Ismael and Rey. And we get clips of Johnny Rose talking.

The announcers talk about Edwin Garcia vs Nexen at Summer Bash.

We get a video of Edwin Garcia looking out of some abandonend building with clips of Nexen as well.

The announcers talk about Luis Forza and Balrog's match at Summer Bash.

Luis Cruz talks about Luis Forza since he manages Balrog. Richard Rondon, the president of GZW, then talk abouts Forza and Joe Colon.

Luis Forza then does a promo and we have a final hyping of the show to end this program.

Overall thoughts: Do not watch this. It was nothing but hype for the big show with no matches or subtitles.

GZW Accion Sin Limites 7/17/2022

GZW Accion Sin Limites 7/17/2022

This is from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOcrR8FwPgM

As always, I'm new to this promotion as well. They at least have some name graphics, but I do have to use English subtitles, so I don't fully know what's going on.

Hector Irizarry and Cano Montes are the commentators. Hector really does have a Puerto Rican Conrad Thompson thing going on.

Someone's bothering the president of GZW, Richard Rondon. They set up a match for this guy against one of Joe Colon's crew. Richard then goes away as he gets a phone call.

Drakon vs Axel Skull





Watch for the guy in the back hitting his kid in the head with a chop






Drakon wears a Bane mask and carries a sword. Axel just wears camo, a shirt and a bandana. Axel wants a handshake and Drakon pushes him. I think Drakon may be managed by a guy named Venganza Letal, that wears a Dr. Wagner esque mask.. They trade nice punches and Axel hits some nice dropkicks and gets him out. Drakon hits a nice kick to the chest and splashes him. Drakon's manager works Axel's arm over the bottom rope then Drakon slams down Axel's arm over the bottom rope.

Drakon hits some uppercut punches that the announcers say are karate strikes, then Drakon pounds on him in the corner. Drakon's manager then takes cheap shots on Axel. Drakon spin kicks Axel and he argues with his manager outside. Drakon gets back in and continues working the arm. Axel tries to get a comeback going but takes a crossbody. Axel hits some nice punches on Drakon then Axel does a sit-out spinebuster for 2.  Axel climbs the top rope and Drakon's manager tries to shake the ropes. Axel then is belly to belly suplexed off the top but Axel ropebreks on the pin attempt.

Drakon hits something like a pele kick then top rope splashes Axel. He then armbars him and taps him out for the win.

This was a pretty solid match. Drakon worked the arm most of the match then finished it with an armbar. He and his manager were heels and Axel was a decent face with good punches.

Drakon pokes his sword into Axel after and threatens the ref with it.

Luis Cruz is at the commentators booth. He was all over the N.O.W. show I reviewed.


Luis Forza talks with an announcer about Joe Colon. He says he knows Joe Colon for 8 years. He says Joe owes him a lot.

We have some commercials for a tattoo and jewelry shop.


I believe La Revolucion from NOW does a promo. They say they will destroy Los Bastardos and say they have been the best tag team year after year.
 

The announcers talk about Los Bastardos vs La Revulucion and say it is No DQ. Luis says Los Bastardos will learn to respect Joe Colon.





Luis goes up to Los Bastardos who are arriving at the building. Luis wants an interview and they grab him by the shirt and put him against the wall. They then get jumped by Las Bestias Del Apocalipsis and Luis talks trash while they get beaten. One of them is choked with a chain. One of Los Bastardos gets a suitcase thrown at him during this.

Luis and Las Bestias Del Apocalipsis do a promo. Luis yells at Los Bastardos for trying to put their hands on him.

Los Bastardos (Kenolly and John Slayer) then do a promo with the other commentator(Hector Irizarry). He said he apologiez for what happened to them. John calls them cowardly. John says they want a No DQ match as they specialize at that. They said they don't fear anything and said they want revenge on June 18th. 
 
No Disqualification - Las Bestias Del Apocalipsis (Bane and Balrog) with Luis Cruz vs Los Bastardos



John Slayer is in front, Kenolly is in the back








They fight outside before they even get in the ring. Slayer hits one of the LBDA's with a kendo stick then the other LBDA his punches on Kenolly. Slayer hits someone's head off the gimmick table and then a trash can. Slayer then throws a trash can at him then Slayer gets whipped hard into the cement bleachers. Slayer then gets suplexed on the floor. Slayer gets beaten up in the stands then Kenolly beats up his opponents in the stands.

Slayer hits kendo stick shots and suplexes his opponent on the gym floor. Slayer chokes him with a kendo stick then Kenolly gets some kendo stick shots in. They finally get in the ring and Slayer gets chokeslammed. One of the LBDA's takes two kendo stick shots then another jumps Kenolly from behind.

Kenolly gets hanged with a chain while an LBDA is in the ring. Luis Cruz tries to hit Kenolly but his shot is blocked. He gets pushed and takes a nice bump then Slayer top rope frogsplashes an LBDA to win!

This was short but this was super action packed and I really liked this. It was a good hardcore brawl with people taking suplexes on the gym floor and Luis even getting a nice bump in there with a hot crowd. No fancy or funny crap here which I appreciated.

One of the LBDA's turns on the other after and chokeslams him. Luis throws a chain in and the one LBDA takes some punches and has his mask ripped. He then comes back with punches and takes a black hole slam. Luis then poses with one of the LBDA's after.

The commentators talk about the big turn and hype up the big show this week.

We cut to Cano interviewing Luis Forza. Luis says the devil will tremble when he is in front of him. He says Joe Colon's wrestler will fall in front of him. Luis says something to the affect that he is urinating in his territory. He said he doesn't come alone and says people will fall at the Summer Bash show.


Forza then talks with Ricard Rondon. He tells him to take it easy and asks him what he really wants here. Fora says he wants respect and wants the title. He tells him to win his match and implies maybe he can do something for him then. Forza says Rondon dresses well and he guarantees victory. Rondon then gets a phone call after.

Overall thoughts: This was a pretty good show and the best in-ring show of the week in Puerto Rico. Drakon/Axel Skull was good and the No DQ match was really good with a cool turn at the end. Definitely worth checking out if you want to see some Puerto Rican wrestling.
