The commentators discuss the Informante/Eddie situation and the 53rd Anniversary show.

WWC TV Title - Amaddeo Sole (c) vs Wilfredo Rivera

We join this in progress. Wil chops Sole and hits forearms. Will hits running lariats and Sole begs off. Will is on the 2nd rope and Sole pumping knees his back. Sole blue thunder's him for 2. Sole pedigrees him on the apron and both fall to the floor.

Wil nearly gets counted out. Sole hits a GTS for 2. Sole seems to have a weapon. The ref grabs it. Sole tries to hit Wil with a title belt but Wil stops him. Wil michinoku drivers him. Wil hits a top rope frogsplash and wins.

Thoughts: They did a bit too much here. You don't hear me saying that a lot in WWC. Wil should not have survived that pedigree on the apron. Sole was a total heel here. We didn't really see a lot of this but it was more action packed than the usual WWC match.

Brandon the Skater does a promo on El Hostil Jovan. 

Brandon says he hasn't wrestled Jovan for 140 days. He says he's been keeping track and says he's coming to Jovan's filthy town tonight. He says he will show him and the hypocrites that support him that he's the best junior on the Caribbean. He says it's his problem if he doesn't like it.

El Hostil Jovan does a promo. Jovan says he's counting on the fans support tonight. He says Brando has it complicated. He says Brandon will face the entire town tonight. He says he will be waiting for him tonight.

Kamila does a promo on Elena Negroni. She says today's the day when Elena has to make her words become a reality. She says she will make an example of her and make her respect her. 

Eddie Colon, El Informante and Orlando Toledo talk to the refs in the back. Eddie says he wants to check on the refs. Toledo says Informante is going to grade the refs and give them the grade they deserve. He gives them an F. Toledo says things are getting serious here. Eddie says he won't be around for the week so what's the real result? Informante changes the grade to an A+.

We get a graphic for Furia Extrema, which is a show that is coming up soon

La Amenaza Bryan arrives. Eddie Colon tells La Amenaza Bryan that he dumped him 15 years ago. He tells him not to be a clown and has the refs kick Brian out.

Kamila vs Elena Negroni

We join this in progress. KAm slaps her and gets booted. They trade punches and Elena eye pokes her. Elena poses and Kam hits a hard spear for 2. Kam hits some forearms and shots. Kam boots her in the corner then low crossbodies her against the bottom buckle for 2. An Infomante comes out. Elena ddt's Kam. Elena is supposed to miss a top rope swanton but Kam rolls and gets nailed with it anyway. Kam dropkicks her from behind into the ropes. Kam misses a 619 and pins her.

Thoughts: We didn't get to see a lot of it. They looked like they were throwing real punches at each other but the work was a bit ugly. Kam hit a stiff spear.

Amaddeo Sole does a promo from his car. Sole says Wilfredo Rivera got lucky. Sole says he's not perfect but he was born knowing almost everything. He says he knows tonight that he'll be crowned TV champ again and will become a 2x champ. He says he has the face that represents WAPA TV and says there will be a new dawn tonight. 

Wilfredo Rivera does a promo. He congratulates Sole on his long reign and says he raised the bar. He says after he wins, he will move forward and end the feud. He says he knows important the title is to him. He says he will have to give his all. He says he doesn't plan on losing the title anytime soon.

Los Inmortales do a promo. They say they are on a mission to become tag champs again. They say Nice and Benabe's luck ran out tonight. They tell them to bring the fans as they will need them today.

A security guy tells Victoria Jovica he got La Amenaza Bryan out of here as per Eddie Colon's orders. Victor wants Bryan here and says Eddie Colon isn't the boss. He says he will call Bryan and get him back in. He then calls Bryan and tells him to come back. He says Eddie doesn't give orders here and he can't do anything to him.

El Cafe del Mileno 

El Paparazzi and Ray Gonzalez ask Bryan to come out. Eddie Colon and Joe Bravo come out instead. 
Ray says he invited La Amenaza Bryan here but says Eddie Colon was throwing tantrums all week about it. He says Victor Jovica authorized Bryan to be here. They call for Bryan to come out but Eddie Colon and Joe Bravo come out instead. Eddie says he threw Bryan out like the trash he is and threw him out like he did 15 years ago. Eddie says the segment is over and it's time for the #1 Contender's Match. Eddie says to get a ref out here.

WWC Universal Title #1 Contender's Match - Zcion RT1 vs Joe Bravo

We join this in progress. RT hits punches on Joe. RT back body drops him then running lariats him twice. Joe calls for a timeout. RT boots him in the head and neckbreakers him for 2. Joe grabs the ref and low blows RT. Joe tries to pin RT with his feet on the ropes but the ref catches him. Joe STO's him for 2. 

RT is catapulted in to the buckles face first and Joe gets a 2 count on him. Joe jacknives him for 2. Eddie Colon distracts the ref and Joe punches RT with a knucks. Joe then pins him. Another ref comes down and tells the original ref what happened. We go to break.

Tony Leyenda does a promo. He says he was unprepared for Xavant last time. He says Xavant is always looking for support of the fans because he likes tension. Tony says he came alone to dominate. Tony says he's the only hero in WWC. He says Xavant can't handle him and he says he doesn't care how much support he has. Tony says he's cooler and smarter than Xavant. We then see Tony work out.

Xavant does a promo. He says the champ has arrived in Humacao tonight. He says he's excite to represent his town. He says Tony Leyenda has a big problem tonight as he's facing the nation's hero. He says he will fight with all his heart and triumph because that's what a hero does.

We return from break. The original ref has found the brass knucks and we see that John Hawking helped tell the ref what happened. RT cutters Joe and pins him.

Thoughts: We didn't see much of this one and it was joined in progress. John Hawking telling the ref what actually happened during the match should lead to something.

Intelecto Cinco Estrellas then runs in and beats up RT1 with a chain. Lou Forza and two other wrestlers help beat up Rt1. El Payaso Makabro tries to help out. RT1 gets busted open. Estrellas chokes him with a chain then leg locks him. Oscar Benabe joins the fight and gets put down. Estrellas chokes RT1 with the chain more. 

La Amenaza Bryan comes down and beats up on the heels. Eddie yells at Bryan. Bryan hits a death valley driver on him then butts heads with Estrellas. 

La Amenaza Bryan does a promo after. He says he's a product of WWC. He says he's in his hometown and says let's make this interviewed. He challenges Estrellas to a Universal Title match on 5/16.

Thoughts: The war between Estrellas and RT1 continues almost 4 month later. I wonder if they will do some big match together at the Anniversary show.

Intelecto Cinco Estrellas does a promo. He tells John Hawking to lower his gaze when he looks at him. Estrellas says there will be an execution tonight. He says the fans will see another witness fall like Zcion RT1. He says he will erase Hawking's name from WWC with the soles of his shoes.

John Hawking does a promo. He says he's always said Estrellas is a coward. He says Estrellas cost him the title last time. He says he has no escape tonight. He says he will make history and become the triple champ tonight. He says the title will be around his waist.

Joe Bravo does a promo. He says you can love or hate him but he knows the fans long to see him. He says tonight he's teaming with Lightning vs Gonzalez and Paparazzi. He says there's no personal feud but he's been dying to slap Paparazzi for years because he begs for it. He says he will get Ray too and make it a 2-for-1 deal. He says Lightning is good in pairs. He says to come see the final Mileno del Cafe tonight. He says Ray and Paparazzi won't want to do it again when they embarrass them tonight.

El Paparazzi and Ray Gonzalez do a promo. Ray says it will be a war tonight and they will do everything to win. They say they both have gas in the tank and have a lot to give. They say they will do it for the enjoyment of the fans tonight. Ray says there will be a checkmate in their favor tonight. Papa says he wants Intellecto 5 Estrellas to be on Cafe del Millenio. Ray says to invite someone else as he has his hands full. Ray says he trusts him though and knows he will get the answers. 

Axel and Abel close the show. They discuss the power struggle between Eddie Colon and Victor Jovica then talk about tonight's show. They say they will see us tonight. 

Overall thoughts: It was the usual WWC show. We only saw the second half of a few matches, some promos and lots of hype for tonight's show. It wasn't anything too special. They did a decent job in making La Amenaza Bryan seem like a big deal but didn't make Joe Bravo look all that amazing. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as it was average.

CMLL 5/1/2026 Function Internacional: CMLL vs MLW

CMLL 5/1/2026 Function Internacional: CMLL vs MLW

The CMLL announcer and Dario Cueto/Cesar Duran are in the ring with some of the MLW titles. He says he hears more noise at his niece's brithday parties and more passion at Ohio high school gyms than the cathedral of lucha. He says to drink a lot of beer because alcohol makes you feel lass sad. He says this is the place of tradition but tradition doesn't win battles. He says he's brought in people he found in other promotions and from the streets. He says he's the best promoter in the world. He says thanks for bringing in MLW to humiliate CMLL wrestlers. He then tries to get an MLW chant started.

Thoughts: It was acceptable. It ended at about the right time. The Cal's did a little more flying than usual and are improving some. 

Lady Frost vs. Olympia

They lock up. Lady rolls her into a crucifix. Lady trips her then shoulders her over. Olym kips up. Lady backflops into a spinning reverse headscissors. Lady is caught on the up and over and she armdrags Olym from the electric chair. Lady cannonballs her off the apron.

Thoughts: It wasn't that good. The two didn't really click all that well. They seemed to have some communication issues and there wasn't much of a flow going on.

Shotzi high kicks her. Shotzi top rope sentons her and pins her.

Thoughts: It wasn't that bad. They worked alright together and had more of an indy style match than a lucha match. It didn't go too long either which helped it. Garra's stock is definitely rising in CMLL when she get to do matches like this.

Cesar Duran and some CMLL officials congratulate Shotzi after. Cesar puts the belt around her waist.

MLW World Tag Team Title Match - The Skyscrapers (Bishop Dyer & Donovan Dijak) (c) vs. Los Infernales (Averno & Euforia)

BD AA's Av. Dijak top rope moonsaults Av and pins him.

Thoughts: Dijak and BD won as expected. The first half was better than the 2nd half. It was a little one sided in the American's favor. It was mostly various strikes here. It was about average. Av and Euf worked as the faces here but didn't get a ton of offense in.

Neon vs Diego Hill

They lock up and Hill shoulders him over. Neon shoulders him over. Neon superkicks him in the gut. Hill goes for a flying headscisors but Neon ducks when he's not supposed to and Hill goes sliding over his back. That was hilarious. Hill dropkicks Neon.

Thoughts: Hill had a bad first half here. He had funny botch where Neon ducked his hurricanrana on accident and he went sliding down his back. Hill was also rushed. The second half was a little better but the damage had been done already.

Austin Aries & Trevor Lee vs. Angel de Oro & Soberano Jr.

Lee and Oro trade kicks. Sob top rope tornillo's Lee inside. Oro slams Lee then topes AA. Sob top rope splashes Lee and pins him. 

Thoughts: I think they had the right idea but it had some slower and less exciting points to it. Aries definitely was a bit more over the top than usual as a heel. It was acceptable but I think the faces needed to be a bit more exciting here to really make this work. As always with CMLL tags, it was basically a tornado tag match.

MLW World Middleweight Title Match - KUSHIDA (c) vs. Templario

Kush has Hakushi style writing on his face and body. 

They do a double knuckle lock and Temp gets the edge. Temp top wristlocks him. Kush armlocks him. Temp surfboards him and Kush turns it into a pin attempt. Temp armdrags him.

Kwon distracts the ref and Kush low blows him. Kush cradles Temp for 2 twice. Temp catches Kush's top rope diving headscissors. Temp knees him in the face and powerbomb backbreakers him. Temp then pins him.

Thoughts: It went longer than it needed to. Kush worked the arm for most of it but stopped a little towards the end. I expected Temp to win here because why else would this really be in the main? I would say it was acceptable but had they out some of the stuff towards the end, I would have rated it as okay.

Everyone on the show poses for a photo after.

Cesar Duran talks. He says this isn't the end and is the beginning of the story. Cesar says he will be back to get the titles.

Overall thoughts: They try but these interpromotional shows usually don't work that well. The styles are just too different and the American's always end up doing basic heel stuff while the Mexican's do their usual stuff. That can work but it's not the most exciting. There were a bunch of quasi acceptable matches on this and there was nothing I'd really recommend checking out. I'd say maybe the main was the best thing on here. I'd give this a 5 out of 10 total and thought it was average.

WWE Smackdown 5/1/2026

WWE Smackdown 5/1/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/04/wwe-smackdown-4242026.html

Next week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/05/wwe-smackdown-582026.html 

We are in Tulsa, OK. Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett are on commentary.

We see various wrestlers arrive and hangout.

Cody Rhodes comes out. He says he asked Nick Aldis and the medical staff if he would be cleared for action and he is. He says he wonders what's next.

Ricky Saints comes out. He says the crowd boos what they don't understand. He says he's "Absolute" Ricky Saints and is the hottest SD free agent. He says he knows Cody feels the change in the air. He says he's leading the revolution. He welcomes him to "Friday Night Saints". 

Cody says he's glad to have him and asks him what's the difference between now and the last time Saints stepped up to him. RS says Cody's 3 title reigns aged him 30 years. He says he's a former NXT champ. He says he stood in the background and congratulated him and hopes Cody has the same energy for him. He says he's here to relieve Cody of his duties. 

Cody says RS looks like he's geared for action and says let's do it tonight. They shake hands. RS says he came here to change who the show is about. Cody says he's easy to find in WWE but hard to beat.  

Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss are interviewed. Rhea Ripley interrupts before they say anything. Rhea says she got ambushed by Fatal Influence last week when she tried them last week. She says she will put her differences aside if Flair will. Flair says they teamed before but it doesn't mean they will again. Rhea says they need her. Flair says Rhea needs Bliss and 3 is a crowd.

Fatal Influence is with Jacy Jayne. JJ talks on the mic beforehand. She calls the fans losers. She says they got a small taste of what they bring to SD and says Charlotte couldn't get enough. JJ says if there's anything they love to do, it's embarrass a legend. JJ says they will take the legends out one at a time and start with Charlotte Flair

Charlotte Flair vs Jacy Jayne

JJ knees her in the gut and JJ's head is banged off the buckles. CF chops her then shoulders her over. JJ forearms her from behind then boots her in the corner. JJ foot chokes her then flying headscissors her. JJ is flatlinered into the buckles. CF headscissors rolls her around the ring. JJ blocks a figure four and slides out.

CF facekicks her from the apron then top rope crossbodies her. JJ backrolls through for 2. JJ superkicks her then CF running facekicks her. CF hits a top rope moonsault for 2.

JJ clips her then pumping knees her for 2. CF fcekicks her and figure eight's her. Fallon pulls CF down. Bliss nails Fallon. Reid flying knees Bliss. JJ spinning forearms CF and pins her.

Thoughts: It was good that Jacy won here. CF missed a bit on some of her facekicks but it was acceptable otherwise.

Fatal Influence beat up Flair afterwards. Bliss makes the save and is beaten up on. Rhea Ripley comes out and makes the save. Rhea and Flair stare down some.

Brie Bella and Paige are interviewed. Brie says they are impressed by Fatal Influence but says their actions will catch up to them. Paige says they will deal with them in due time but need to focus on Nia Jax and Lash Legend. Brie is asked how they will beat them and Brie says hey will use their experience. 

R-Truth and Priest talk to Fraxiom. Truth thinks they are Los Americanos. Priest says he looks forward to defending the tag titles against them tonight. Axiom doesn't get it and tries to talk about something else and Frazer goes with it. Priest tells Truth he thought he was talking to them about a title match but Truth says he was talking to them about taxes. Truth is upset that he has to now get ready for the match, in a role reversal from what happened the last few weeks.

Kit Wilson and The Miz talk. Kit has a box that says "Free Human Monies" on it. Kit wants Danhausen to open a trap box that will blind him when he opens it. Danhausen walks in and opens the briefcase. He grabs the money and the trap doesn't work. The Miz complains. They go to the box and they get sprayed in the eyes.

WWE Tag Titles - R-Truth and Damian Priest (c) vs Fraxiom (Axiom and Nathan Frazer)

RT and Ax go at it. RT shoulders him over. Ax springboard armdrags him and single leg dropkicks him. NF and DP get in. NF side headlocks him. NF enzugiri's him. DP hits a big forearm on Ax. Ax hurricanrana's him off a razor's edge. NF lifts Ax for a flying kick on RT. DP and RT are dropkicked off the apron but they walk away from topes.

DP flips Ax with lariat then NF enzugiri's him. RT comes in and hits flying shoulders and blue thunder on NF. He hits a five knuckle shuffle.

NF and Ax hit topes. NF tope con hilos both opponents. Ax top rope moonsaults his opponents outside. RT takes a legsweep + top rope dropkick. DP hits a south of heaven on NF. DP pins Ax with a razor's edge.

Thoughts: It didn't get as much time as we could but I liked what we got. Ax's team did the flying, DP cleaned house and Truth did his Cena themed moveset. This worked out well.

Talla Tonga comes in the ring and beats up everyone as Solo Sikoa coaches him.  

We go to break and return. Talla Tonga and Solo Sikoa talk. Solo says Jacob Fatu made a big mistake last week. Solo says his MFT's aren't here because of Fatu. He says Fatu is a dead man walking when he gets here.

Jimmy and Jey Uso come out. They say they know Solo has an issue with Fatu but he's not the only one. They say Roman Reigns has big problems with him too. Jey says Fatu put the tongan death grip on Roman and it's a sacred move. Jey tells Talla his dad used it. Jey says Solo's plans for Fatu have to wait until Roman is done with him.

Solo says there's plenty of Fatu to go around. Jey says they aren't asking him but are telling him. Solo laughs. Solo says he doesn't have time for this. Talla facekicks Jey then chokeslams Jimmy. Solo says to tell Roman that he's not his tribal chief and they don't care about what he says. Solo says Fatu is a dead man.

Cody Rhodes and Sami Zayn talk. Sami asks if Cody called him sarcastic and condescending. He says Cody wanted to be called The Golden Boy. Sami says he's tired of the misunderstandings and they gotta stick together. Sami says they are the last of a dying breed and the last real good guys. Sami says they are friends and are the same. Cody says they aren't the same.

Cody Rhodes vs Ricky Saints

RS shoulders him over twice. RS hits armdrags and stares at him on the mat. RS is on the apron and Cody forearms him down. RS 619's under the bottom rope outside and kicks him. RS lariats Cody over the top. We go to PiP break and return.

RS tornado ddt's him for 2. Cody does a reversal and hits a cross rhodes to win.

Thoughts: Cody won as expected. I would have liked to have seen this go longer thoguh to make RS look more like a threat, because this was not it. What we got was fine.

Gunther attacks Cody after and puts him to sleep with a sleeper. Gunther then does a grounded sleeper. Officials come to break it up.

Thoughts: Gunther is randomly attacking people again...

Thoughts: It was all squash here with Keys winning as expected. Keys looked fine.

Chelsea Green comes in. She gets out of her wheelchair and invites her to get martini's for her birthday. Tiff isn't interested. Giulia and Kiana James walk in.

He says he'd still run with him any day of the weak. He talks about them running the same shift at the warehouse. He says Roman and The Uso's are back in business and will take everything they want. Keys tells him to werewolf his @ss up and take what he wants or let Roman take food off his table. Keys says men like them take everything they want.

Talla Tonga then sends Keys into a table. Solo Sikoa comes in. Fatu attacks Talla and is chokeslammed through a table. Officials then come out.

Sami Zayn is in the ring with The Gingerbread Man. Sami says he loves coming to Tulsa. He says he went to the Bob Dillon Center. He says he was a legend until he picked up an electric guitar. He says he fans turned on him then. Sami said he can relate. He says he can't deal with the disrespect though. 

Sami says the guy is wearing the gingerbread costume and says that's what Trick is. He says what Trick does is easy but what Sami does is hard. Sami says he leaves it all out on the line every night of the year. He says he sees Trick Williams not taking him or the fans seriously with the gingerbread costume. Sami says he's thinking about hitting the gingerbread man and says he's sorry. He then kicks it in the crotch and beats up.

Trick Williams comes out and fights Sami. Sami leaves. Trick throws up the "X" sign for The Gingerbread Man.

Lash Legend and Nia Jax are interviewed. Nia says Paige and Brie didn't pin them in the tag title match at Mania, so they can't say they are the real champs. Nia says when they end Paige and Brie's nostalgic reign, they will go back on the couch with Niki Bella.

He says Sami is now messing with his money and nobody messes with it. Trick says Sami better pray that The Gingerbread Man is okay or they got a much bigger problem.

Thoughts: It wasn't that good as expected. The faces' offense didn't hit well and it really just came down to how nostalgic you were for the faces. I liked Brie's top rope dropkick though.  

We get a tribute graphic for The Gingerbread Man. We are told he will have a funeral next week.

Sami Zayn asks Nick Aldis if the funeral is a joke. Nick say try to have some respect and says everyone is grieving. Sami asks for a US Title rematch at Backlash and Aldis agrees.

Talla takes a double superkicks then is double lariated over the top. Jimmy goes for a tope and is hit by Talla. Jey is sent into the rails. Jimmy is sent into the steps. Jacob Fatu then attacks Talla off the rails for the DQ.

Thoughts: It was acceptable but it was a weak main event and it was hard to get too invested into it. The finish didn't help things. 

Fatu sends Talla into the post several times. Fatu hits Talla with the steps. 

Solo asks Fatu's what he's doing. Fatu does the tongan death grip to him. Fatu's tope is caught by Talla. They fight on steps near a table and Fatu samoan drops him through the table. 

Fatu walks through The Uso's after and stares them down. 

Fatu talks on the mic after. He tells The Uso's to tell Roman that he will dogwalk him at Backlash. He then says he's all gas and no breaks with it.

Overall thoughts: It was a pretty weak Smackdown. There were a bunch of names missing like Drew and Orton and as expected, Fatu Family Theater is back on the menu and now it's on both brands. They really spent a lot of time on Danhausen and The Gingerbread Man here as well. Fatal Influence had a much smaller influence tonight than they had last week. I'd say the men's tag title match was the best thing on here. They did the right stuff on paper, but the show is really lacking star power now and it was just not a strong show. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 and I thought it was average. 

NWA Powerrr 5/1/2026

NWA Powerrr 5/1/2026

The last show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/04/nwa-powerrr-4282026.html

The next show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/05/nwa-powerrr-522026.html 

Note - This is the NWA's first show on Comet. This aired on a Friday at 10PM against WWE Smackdown.

Joe Galli, Danny Dealz and Tim Storm are on commentary. 

Billy Corgan and Bryan Idol tells us NWA starts now.

They do a video talking about the history of the NWA then running down some of the NWA's titles and The Crockett Cup.

Crockett Cup 2026 #16B Seed Play-In Match - Jack n' Eddie  (Eddie Grayson and Jack Valor) vs Titans of Calamity (Talos and Ren Ayabe) vs Death Row Militia (Leo Fox and Colt Killbain) vs Devastation Reborn (AJ Farat and Frank Stone)

No entrances here for anyone and that's a real problem since multiple people are debuting here.

Eddie gets beaten up by The Militia and Devastation to start. Eddie is slammed then tripped into a legdrop on the neck. Eddie takes falling headbutt drops. Eddie enzugiri's a DR member. Jack tags in and cleans up. Jack takes a forearm from Stone of DR. Stone then suicide dives out. Jack is double chokeslammed by Ren and Talos and pinned.

Thoughts: It was a very short one. Ren and Talos only tagged in at the end and won quick. This didn't go long because they have another match coming up. It was a waste of the various teams.

David Crockett talks about the formation of The Crockett Cup.

The Federations of Champions do a promo. Aron says he's partnered with Comet to get his face on TV each week. He does a poem and yells at The Slimeballz for laughing.

Sins n Grins are interviewed. Izzy James tells ToC to get in the pit or get hit. Bam Bam Malone says he will fi fi fo fum them back to Japan

Tal hits a huge spinebuster on Izzy. Bam takes a double chokeslam and is pinned.

Thoughts: It was another shorter match. It went 100 MPH here and was full of action. It was entertaining at least. ToC won as expected. 

ToC are interviewed after. Kyle tell them they face The Immortals next. Tal isn't impressed by The Immortals. He says they are the AJPW Tag League champs and the AJPW Tag champs. He says they are taking the trophy home with them. Ren's promo is translated. He says he came to win and says to watch out for the chaos they create.

Tiffany Nieves does a promo. She says her opponent is an outsider and a shadow in her way. She says she's the longest NWA Women's TV champ and the best at everything. She says she's the 1% and says she will take care of the trash. 

The Paige Sisters talk about the NWA on Comet.

I will not be covering Tiffany Nieves' match. Tiffany shockingly lost. Her title loss was not built up well at all and it doesn't make a lot of sense. I'm sure they only did this because it's the debut show.

The McCord Collection does a promo. McCord says they are anti-establishment and says nobody is more anti-establishment than Damian Fenrir. Alex Misery says Fenrir fumbled his chance to become champ. He says his thirst for gold is getting exquisite. Alex hinted towards it but it seems like The Lost is done.

The Slimeballz do a promo. They say you can watch NWA on Comet. Rant says it's Slime Time.

The Slimeballz do another promo. They say they are the president of the US Tag belts. They say their duty is to win The Cup and defend the US. Rant says while their opponents walked, they ran past them. Sage says they are the champs. Rant says it's Slime Time.

Carson does a segment with Mike Mondo and SLADE. He says The Southern Six were supposed to be here but aren't. Carson asks how his guests are and if they are ready for The Southern Six next week. Slade says look at the year they had with the Jr. Heavyweight Title and the National  Title. Slade says they are built differently and are built like machines. He says The Six can only tap out.

Mike Mondo says winning The Cup means everything to them and they will kick The Six's teeth down their throat. Mike says it's gut check time. Carson says he knows someone else who will be a #1 contender soon.

Crockett Cup 2026 First Round - The Immortals (Odinson and Kratos) vs Titans of Calamity (Talos and Rey Ayabe)

Ren and Kratos lock up. Kratos clean breaks him and welcomes him to the NWA. Kratos cartwheels while doing an armlock and Ren escapes. Talos and Kratos trade shots. Kratos corner splash Talos.

Kratos hits forearms then backdrops Ren. Kratos flying forearms him in the corner. Ren sits up top and takes a pele kick. Kratos falcon arrows Ren for 2.

Odin is caught coming off the top. Odin takes a double chokeslam and Ren pins him to win.

Thoughts: ToC winning was a bit of an upset. This wasn't super long as the NWA needed time for literally anything else but this one. They had the right idea from what we saw but it wasn't anything too special because it just didn't get the time.

Overall thoughts: This was not a typical Powerrr episode in any way and it may as well have been a different show. The 3 men's matches were all rushed and none were anything too special because of it. They wasted a bunch of time on bumpers and it seemed like the focus was on everything but the wrestling.  They had one title change which was undoubtedly just to do it on the debut show on Comet. I didn't really like this episode that much and it kind of felt like a teaser more than a full ep. I'd give it a 4 out of 10 and wouldn't recommend it.

He says he found a solution and it's Stori Denali, the human loophole. He says Stori is a walking lawsuit waiting to happen. He says if anyone looks at him wrong, she will show you what blunt force trauma looks like in the court of law then he will sue you for getting blood on his boots.

Thoughts: It was a good match. It got a lot of time, they had some nice double teams, they stiffed each other and we had some nearfalls before going home. It's what you would want out to this and they did good with it. They definitely tried to put Tito over some here.

Overall thoughts: It was your usual ROH episode. We only had one champ in action here and Bandido, the current ROH champ, hasn't been seen for a while. There were basically no storylines going on here and it was just a bunch of random matches. Most of the matches were good though and that helped things. The main was probably the best match of the night bu I liked Shane/Mance as well. I'd give it a 6 out of 10, solely for the wrestling and I'd give it a 1 out of 10 for the rest. It was an okay show.

Rhys says he has a big test coming up. Erik says one "D" won't stop him and says he needs to focus in here. He says they need to do things as a team and they need to focus as one.

Thoughts: The faces won as expected and it was just a question of how long it would take. It was an okay bout. The heels cheated and did double teams and the faces made their comeback, flew around and won. There was nothing wrong with this one. 

AJ Francis appears on the tron. He says he's the first ever GLORY champ and defended it for 300 days. He says EK Prosper took the title from him due to help from Zilla Fatu. AJ says he has help from his own and shows off the battle of the bell hammer. He says he come for EK soon and he will never see it coming.

Overall thoughts: It was a quicker show and an easy watch. The main was the best thing on here but nothing was must see.  They furthered some stories here and the show was fine as a whole. I'd give it a higher 5 out of 10.

Thoughts: That was an unusual finish. I was surprised it went as long as it did. Jeff won as expected though. I don't really see a need to continue this feud, but it's not going anywhere. I think Vince hit a new side slam move here. The match was average overall.

Kaz immediately takes his guitar strap off. They hit each other. Eli sends Kaz into a rail. Eli boots him in the face and knocks a light over. Kaz is then thrown onto boxes. Kaz puts sanitizer in Eli's eyes and sends him into the wall. Kaz slams a door on eli's arm. Eli crotches him on a rail. Eli tries to drop a ladder n him but Kaz moves. Eli puts Kaz on some kind of cart on wheels and shoves him into boxes. Kaz is then thrown into a rollaway door. Eli then carries him to ringside and we cut away to go to break. This part was clearly pre-taped before the event.

We return and they are at ringside with fans there. Kaz is pulled into the rails. Eli chops him against the rails. Eli flying lariats him. Eli walks the top rope and diving sunset flips him. Eli touches 3 corner and Kaz whips him with the strap. Eli is thrown over the top but Kaz is pulled down with him.

Kaz goes up and over and chickewings him. Eli touches the buckles with Kaz on him but finally falls down due to Kaz's chickenwing. Kaz then lets him go.

Kaz tries to do Eli's rope walk and says, "Walk with The King". Eli pulls him down and knees him in the face. Eli whips him with the strap and takes a backcracker. Eli pulls the strap into Kaz's crotch and the strap breaks. Eli tombstones Kaz. Eli touches 3 buckles. Eli then grabs a guitar and hits Kaz in the forehead with it. Eli then touches the 4th buckle to win.

Thoughts: This was pretty hokey just like the last segment. They clearly pre-taped the first half of the match. And during that, everything they got thrown on was covered in cardboard boxes to prevent them from either getting hurt or breaking things. The strap breaking during the match was very cheap and Eli barely even broke the guitar over Kaz's head to win. I don't know where TNA's budget has gone, but it certainly has not gone to various weapons in hardcore matches. When indies have a better budget for hardcore matches than a major company does, that's not a good look.

Overall thoughts: This episode didn't make TNA look good. There was a lot of hokeyness from the early 2000's that made TNA look bad here with matches being pre-taped, very cheap weapons and people doing horrible jobs acting. The company really came off bush-league here as the strap broke in the main event and the wrestlers were just throwing each other onto cardboard. There is absolutely no way I could give this one a good rating due to all of that, and I won't. The only good news coming out of this is that they seemingly have toned down Daria Rae's heel character a bit which was much needed, as she was humiliating everyone without giving anyone anything in return. I'd give this a 4 out of 10 and wouldn't recommend it. This was not good.
