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.

J says they are a force in JCW and all he hears is moaning. He says he will give them a match tonight and says they will face Kerry Morton in a 5 Minute Challenge. He says if Kerry has been a thorn in their sides and they want to get rid of him, now's the time. J says it will get rid of the thorn in their side but not the d*ck in their butt.

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.

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.

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.

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.

"Big Al" Alice Crowley vs HoKane

Al victory rolls her and pins her.

Thoughts: It was rough early on but got better as they did bigger offense. It still was a little less than average. Kane is just still too green and not ready for this role.

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

Next week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/09/maple-leaf-pro-wrestling-mayhem-992026.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.

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 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 jumps off the steps and misses. JTV tope tornillo's him. We go to break and return. Stu hits punches. JTV rolls through a sunset flip and running knees him for 2. JTV enzugiri's him. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

The Culture Project (Enrico Sterdivant and Zay Washington) vs Parental Advisory (Hunter Dabbs and Dakota Gage)

Dabbs and Zay shoulderblock each other. Zay cartwheels out of a headscissors. Dabbs dropkicks him. Gage hits a corner spear on Zay and fisherman suplexes him for 2. Zay tilt-a-whirl backbreakers him. Zay backsplashes Gage.

Enrico comes in and spinning enzugiri's Gage. Jabari Young chokes Gage from the outside. Enrico broski boots Gage for 2. Enrico germans Gage for 2. Enrico kicks him in the back. Zay slams him. Gage catches Zay off the 2nd rope and spinning uranage's him.

Dabbs and Enrico get in. Dabbs springboards on him and hits shots in the corner. Dabbs then tope con hilos Zay outside. Enrico is double superkicked by the faces. Gage flatliners Enrico. 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.

Wonder Boy vs James Ellsworth

JE nails him as he enters and sends him into the post and wall. JE then sends him into the steps. WB's head is banged off the commentary table. The bell then rings to start this. JE kicks and punches him.

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.

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.

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.

Hunt is held in the air for a ddt. The ref tugs over a chair with the heels. The ref goes down and DQ'd The Initiative.

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.

Thoughts: They had some ideas here but they didn't go off as smooth as they should have. There were a lot of rough moments when there shouldn't have been. It was so-so, but maybe next time they will get it right.

Eli Knox is washing his face and hands in the bathroom. He looks in the mirror and sees Moses Cain behind him. He says to himself, "he's not here, it's okay".

The Order are interviewed. The interviewer Allen Pounds says Hollywood Jimmy is back after Aaron Roberts jumped on him. Jimmy says Aaron broke his ribs and put him in the hospital.

Sev 2nd rope facebusters Ford. Sev hits forearms on Ford. Ford russian legsweeps him. Ford top rope elbow drops Sev. Izzy throws Ford out, steals the pin on Sev and pins Sev to win.

Thoughts: It was a shorter one. What we got was fine here. Ford's top rope crossbody to start this one off was nice.

Diana Taylor is interviewed by Sara Blake. She says Raven Black didn't deserve the Women's Title and she stole it. She says she can't stand thieves. She says Raven's disrespect ain't gonna happen. Diana says she's stealing the next chance at the title. She says she's always in the hunt for the title as she has been here and put in all the work.

MJ makes his comeback. MJ walks the top rope and clubs his arm. MJ then pulls down his straps. CJ drinks something from his cup. MJ hits punches on CJ and CJ spits the drink out. MJ rolls up CJ and pins him while holding the tights.

Thoughts: At least CJ didn't lose clean here as Mike pulled the tights. It was fine. Mike did his usual stuff and was a decent face. CJ did what he could to put him over and make him look good.

Overall thoughts: Kale/Marko was average as they just weren't on the same here. Xero/Swann was a similar situation. Ethan Ross is out of The Order which is some interesting news that I'd like to know more about. Bobby Ford's three-way bout was fine and the main was fine as well. I liked the show as a whole. It was easy to watch, the commentary is always good and I had fun. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 overall and it was alright. I just wish the first two matches were a little better.
