Thoughts: It was fine. It didn't get a ton of time though. Everyone got a spot or two in before we went home and they couldn't do a lot else. Nort had been on this show before and I guess they liked him enough to put him over in this random bout.

Nort dances and celebrates after.

The hosts talk.

Nortenito is interviewed. 

Cibernetico talks to Hell (?) in the back as they watch tv. An wrestler talks to them. That wrestler is completely blurred out and he leaves.

They then shows us clips from the next episode with some celebrities talking in the ring. Two of them end up arguing. One pulls the other down from the buckles. Hell and then someone else comes out and grabs them. A big fight breaks out. Nortenito and another wrestler join in. and the wrestlers separate the celebs.

The hosts talk.

We then see a music video to close the show.

Overall thoughts: It was a very short episode here. I'm guessing they just ran out of footage and more ads were aired instead. There were only 2 matches on this show The opener was acceptable. The men's 4-way was the best match here and that was fine. We then had some angle with Mexican celebs after. I wouldn't recommend this one and would give it a 5 out of 10 total as it was average.

Pro Wrestling NOAH 8/9/2026 Legacy Rise 2026

Thoughts: Similar to WWE Speed matches, it was hurried and short. These matches are never anything great or memorable and I don't know why Noah is taking the concept. 

GHC 200 Title Tournament First Round Match - AMAKUSA vs. Tetsuya Endo

Endo is dropkicked whil on the apron. Ama topes him. Ama springboard chops him then top rope tornillo's him. Ama takes him over for 2. Endo pele kicks him and Ama hurricanrana's him over the top.

Ama 2nd rope poisonrana's him but Endo no sells it. Endo flying pumping knees him from behind and flying headscissors him. Endo pins him.

Thoughts: It was a shorter one. I didn't really get the no selling the poisonrana spot. It was too short to even really rate.

Tada and Yo go at it. Tada shoulders him over. Yo flying headscissors Tada. Tada takes running back elbows on the ropes. Yo gets a 2 count on Tada. Yoshitatsu pulls Yo outside and hits him with a night stick.

Sugi chairs yo in the head and Tada rolls up Yo. Tada pins Yo.

Thoughts: It was short and acceptable. It didn't really get the time to be anything too great. I think this was Yo-Hey's return, but he lost here which was lame. Ozawa did his usual antics here.

Yo-Hey challenges Tada for tomorrow's show. Tada says they could but doesn't promise he will show up. Yo challenges him again as Tada leaves.

Thoughts: It was a shorter one here. Neither guy advances due to this going to a draw. They didn't have a ton of time to sell here and it indeed was another sprint. 

GHC 200 Title Tournament First Round Match - Kaito Kiyomiya vs. Yoshiki Inamura

YI misses a lariat and is armdragged and dropkick. KK clubs on him then YI dropkicks him. KK dropkicks YI off the apron. KK dropkicks him in the knee and YI flying shoulders him. YI lariats him down for 2. KK backrolls him for 2. KK backrolls him with a bridge for 2. KK flying knees him.

Thoughts: This was no surprise. It seemed likely neither guy would lose here. But having 2 draws in a row in the first tournament for a new title is lame stuff.

They trade chops for forearms. Kenta hits slaps. Maru pumping knees him, hook kicks him and pumping knees him. Maru tiger tiger drivers him into an armbar. Maru grounded guillotines him and submits him.

Thoughts: It was a hard hitting battle. It was probably only about half the match we would have gotten 15 years ago, but what we got was okay. There was lots of stiff shots here and not so much flying.

Maru thanks Kenta after. He says he's a great wrestler and says let's fight or team up. He says he will keep defending the belt.

Thoughts: It was an okay match. Naito won as expected here. They both worked each other's necks and Naito ended up winning with a destino. It made sense. They maybe only had like one botch and Shane made Naito look good here. Shane also strong enough to lift up Naito for his destino's and made sure the moves hit clean.

Naito gets on the mic after and says his next match has been decided. He says he has been enjoying himself in Noah. He then does the LTJ roll-call. him, Bushi and Ryusei pose together.

Overall thoughts: The GHC200 matches were wastes of time as they were too short to be anything good. Why Noah took that concept from WWE is unknown. And having 2 draws in the first tournament for the title makes sure people know it is worthless. I liked the 2 opening matches. Eita/Kai just brawled in their match and it never officially got going. Ozawa's match was acceptable. Both the main and semi main were alright. I'd say the main was the best match on he show. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 as it was an okay show overall.

Thoughts: OC screwed around too much here. This team isn't good for Swerve and makes him look like a midcarder. OC really hurt this one with the screwing around and I thought it took a while for this to really get going. I wouldn't say it was anyone's best effort and I would just say it was acceptable.

The two teams shake hands after. The Demand and The Lethal Twist come out. Ricochet says they can put down The New Level any time they want. He says they are owed a trios title rematch too. Ricochet then tells them to get to steppin'. Ric says they will escort them out themselves.

Thoughts: Britt took no bumps here. I noticed it early on and it was interesting to see how they covered that up. She's clearly still not 100% and I don't know how much more we will see of her in the ring. It was average otherwise. Rebel coming out for her spot was nice though.

Rebel rides Britt to the back in her wheelchair and they nearly fall over. Rebel then gets a chant.

Thoughts: It was a shorter one and was just average. The finish got messed up which didn't help things and it just never had a great flow going.

He says Mox was the only man who pinned him in 2026. He says it won't be like Dynasty. Will says the time limit won't be an issue and he's coming at him with a game plan and not revenge. He says he knows what it takes to beat a Death Rider and says caving in his skull is a good way to start his reign. Mox says it looks like he has it all figured out. Will says he'll see in Chicago.

Thoughts: There were some brutal bumps here. The apron powerbomb one of The Buck's took looked awful. Kyle took a hard ddt on the apron and a Buck was back body dropped through a table. Kyle also took a powerbomb on a flat table on the mat that had to hurt. It was all action with little selling and I didn't like it that much.

FTR attack a Buck after. FTR then hit a shatter machine. Darby Allin and Steven Borden then come out to save The Bucks. The Bucks shake hands with Darby and Borden after.

Overall thoughts: It was a weak show storyline wise as not that much went on. The opener was acceptable but OC tried hard to bring it down. The women's trios match was average and Britt Baker is clearly not 100%. Idolo/Mortos was average. Finlay/Osperay was acceptable and Finlay took a lot of bumps. Steven Borden didn't really impress in his TV debut but he wasn't awful. I didn't like the main so much as it was pretty brutal at times and the selling wasn't there. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as it was an average show. Lots of people were missing from this one.

Marigold 8/29/2026 Dream Star Grand Prix 2026 Day 2

Day 1 is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/09/marigold-8282026-dream-star-grand-prix.html

The girls in the GP all come out before the show starts.

Thoughts: It was kind of a power vs power match. The ending was lame which didn't help things. They really didn't do anything too wild here and it never really picked up. It was so-so.

DREAM STAR Grand Prix 2026 Block D Match - Kouki Amarei vs. Megaton

Mega rolls her up for 2 counts to start. KA boots her out of the corner. KA back elbows her for 2. Mega rolls her up for 2. Mega hits some bad shots and shoulders her over. Mega corner splashes her then crossbodies her for 2.

Mega misses a bottom rope splash and KA facekicks her over the 2nd rope. KA rolls her up and pins her.

Thoughts: It wasn't good as expected. Mega's comedy isn't funny and KA doesn't really know how to do anything except hit her signature moves.

DREAM STAR Grand Prix 2026 Block B Match - Nagisa Nozaki vs. Nao Ishikawa

They lock up and go to the ropes. Nao hits a chest forearm flurry. NN boots her in the face. Nao knocks NN off the apron. They forearm each other outside. Nao's head is banged off a chair outside.

NN knees her in the gut. Nao germans her. NN hits a straight punch on Nao and drops her. NNN swings a chair at her, misses and hits the ref with it. NN gets DQ'd then slaps the ref around after.

Thoughts: The finish was terrible. I don't think the ref was in the right spot and NN just chaired him anyway. This was average at best until the finish, which really brought this down.  

Mai Sakurai & Natsumi Showzuki vs. Mila Smidt & Shinno vs. Darkness Revolution (CHIAKI & Rea Seto)

Chi tries to shake hands with Mila but pulls her hand away. The girls go for a triple lock up and Chi backs out. Chi calws Mila and Natsumi at the same time. Rea helps Chi out as she does it. Mila and Natsumi end up in the ring together.

Mai and Natsumi are pulled over the top by Rea's team. Mila double lariats Rea's team over. Shinno rolls into a shotei on Rea then iconoclasm's her for 2. Rea hits a nice dropkick on Shinno for 1 and the time limit expires.

Thoughts: Why would you have this go to a time limit draw? It's a three-way tag. There's nothing on the line. The results don't matter. This result was absolutely stupid. As always with these types of matches, the format made it hard for it to be good as so many people were involved and were coming in and out at various times. It was average.

Shinno then pounds on Rea after. Shinno's and Rea's teams then go at it after.

DREAM STAR Grand Prix 2026 Block C Match - Hummingbird vs. Victoria Yuzuki

Hum dropkicks Yuz as she gets in. Hum flying headscissors her. Hum 2nd rope twisting crossbodies her outside. They get back in and Yuz dropkicks her. Yuz dropkicks her through the ropes. Hum is tied up in the ropes and Yuz dropkicks her for 2.

Yuz superkicks her twice for 2. Yuz traps one arm then pulls on the other arm and her leg. Yuz submits her and wins.

Thoughts: The finish was a bit random here as they weren't doing a ton of submissions. Hum did a decent job here and was working hard. It ended up just being average in the end though.

Chika Goto, Miku Aono & Nagisa Tachibana vs. Komomo Minami, Mayu Iwatani & Yuuka Yamazaki

NT and KM shake hands but no one else really does. KM side headlocks NT. NT runs the ropes and gets hit with a dropkick. KM's team triple teams NT and hits running corner attacks. NT takes a triple basement dropkick.

Thoughts: It was acceptable. They tried and followed the format but it wasn't anything too great. It wasn't a super serious main. There was nothing wrong with it, just nothing great either.

Yuuka talks on the mic after and closes the show. The girls are given gift bags for winning and Mayu tries to steal the stuff from them.

Here's some recaps from the backstage promos:

Aleah James talks after. She says she came to prove she's a worthy contender. She says she's been here for 2 months and she learned a lot. She says she must keep going and go to the finals.

Mila Smidt and Shinno talk after. Mila said they could have won this one. She says CHIAKI wanted to make it personal. She says Chiaki was lucky today and says when they face each other, there won't be any friends helping her. She says she will kick her @ss. 

Overall thoughts: Misa/Aleah was average. Diana/Shoko was so-so. Mega/Kouki was bad. Nagisa/Nao was below average with a bad finish. The three-way tag had a similarly stupid finish as they went to a draw for no real reason. That one was average. Hummingbird tried hard against Yuzuki but the match was average. The main was acceptable but nothing must see. I'd give this a 4 out of 10 overall. It was a below average and the show wasn't that good. The booking didn't help this one either. The main was probably the best match on here.

Orlando Toledo talks to Eddie Colon in the bathroom. He says he's been trying to get a hold of him. Eddie says the plan is still on and to keep the guys in line. Toledo says he's been working heard but hasn't heard form him. He says the communication has to be there. Eddie says this is personal with Orlando and he doesn't want him to get involved.

We see clips from a recent show. Sai Perez won the women's title. Mike Nice turned on Oscar Benabe and joined Chicano and Orlando Colon. Chicano and Ray Gonzalez had a bloody bout. Zcion RT1 and Lightning had a bloody cage match and both seemed to have escaped at the same time. 

Abel Durant is our sole host today.

Abel talks. He says Orlando Colon has become Director of Operations of WWC. 

WWC Tag Titles - El Aura Perfecta (Lou Forza and Amaddeo Sole) (c) vs Mike Nice and Oscar Benabe

We join this in progress.

Mike and OB hit springboard moves on the heels and get 2 counts on them. OB dropkicks Mike on accident. Lou throws OB out. Mike takes a spinebuster + zig zag combo and is pinned.

Thoughts: What we got of this looked alright. There was a lot of action going on here. Mike and Oscar had another bad night where they did moves on each other on accident and lost.

Ray Gonzalez vs Chicano

We join this in progress. Both guys are blooded. Chicano bites him in the corner. They trade shots and Chicano drops him with a knee to the gut. Chicano stomps Ray's gut. Chicano hits more punches. Ray punches back. Ray hits mounted corner punches.

Ray kicks Chicano in the back of the leg then he figure fours him. 

We go to break.

Ray Gonzalez does a promo. He says the war with Chicano continues. He says Mike Nice saved him last time but Mike and Orlando Colon won't be there when they fight. Ray says the war will continue and he asks if Ray can collect the bounty. He says what happened last time will be nothing compared to what happens next time. He says he will checkmate Chicano.

We see clips of Sai Perez beating Elena Negroni. Orlando Colon comes in and offers Elena help getting up. He then asks Elena to come to the back with him.

We return from break.

Ray has Chicano in the figure four. Chicano reverses it on Ray. Mike Nice comes out and helps Ray reach the ropes. Mike then grabs a chair and hits Ray hard in the head with it as Mike Nice turns heel. The ref then calls for the DQ.

Thoughts: We didn't see a ton of it and it's a shame since it was a bloody battle. Ray had some decent selling here. Mike turning heel on Ray was not something I saw happening here.

Mike Nice comes in the ring and he chairs Ray in the gut. Mike then hits mounted shots on him. Oscar Benabe comes out to stop Mike. Mike then hits a hard chair shot on Oscar. Chicano then beats up on Oscar. Mike chairs Oscar gain and Chicano sharpshooters Ray. Mike pounds on Oscar. Refs come in to break this up with Ray and Oscar down. Mike and Chicano hug and high five each other.

Orlando Colon talks on the phone with Chicano nearby. OC says he's the new Director of WWC. Elena Negroni comes in. Orlando says the reinforcements arrived. Elena says she's at his disposal. Orlando says they are available but Elena isn't. OC says he didn't want a secretary, he just didn't want her to die. OC says they are here to guide her. 

We see clips of John Hawking vs Intelecto Cinco Estrellas. Cinco ends up pinning him with a headbutt and wins the WWC Caribbean Title.

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 he will see everyone in revolutionary territory in Aguadilla. He says he and Cinco will meet face to face again. He says if there was any doubt over whole the Universal champ is, it will become clear in Aguadilla. 

We see clips of Orlando Colon beating Eddie Colon with help from Chicano and Mike Nice. Orlando pinned Eddie with a top rope splash. Orlando then posed with his new group after and talked on the mic.

Eddie Colon and Victor Jovica talk at maybe a restaurant. Victor says Eddie knows what happened. He says someday Eddie will learn and he thinks he has learned. Eddie says he didn't come here for a lesson in manners. Eddie says Victor knows he out of WWC as a Director but he can still wrestle here as a wrestler. He says Orlando is going to vote him out of WWC and says he will come for the company completely.

Eddie says he and Victor aren't friends and it won't change overnight. Victory says Eddie was a worker and a wrestler and they built things together. Eddie says respect knows respect and says Orlando is being disrespectful. Eddie says Id he was some wrestlers like Andrade he can give him them.  Victor thanks him for that. Victor says he knows that there will be tension with Orlando. He says Orlando came here to steal WWC and says what he's doing is sad. Victor says Orlando will never gain full control of the company.

Eddie says the enemy of my enemy is friend. He says they are on better terms and he will find an outside figther to knock Orlando's head off his shoulder. Victor says Orlando is not going to steal WWC and says he will stay with WWC for years.

Abel closes the show and says we will see the Eddie vs Orlando match in full next time.

Orlando Colon talks in the mirror to himself and celebrates his victory. He says he did it and now he's the Director or Operations at WWC. Orlando says Victor Jovica invents Director of Operations positions to create scapegoats. He talks about Eddie's next match and things he should face Chicano in a dumpster match at Septiembre Negro. He says he will face Zcion RT1 for the Universal Title there as well. 

Thoughts: I'm not confident on that translation as I felt like the translations weren't good.

Overall thoughts: It was a bit of a better episode than usual as we got some non-wrestling segments and had more storylines playing out than usual. We got 2 matches and both were clipped so it was hard to really judge how good they are. They looked to be alright though. I'd give this a 5 out of 10 overall as what we got was acceptable here.

IWA Puerto Rico Impacto Total 5/30/2026

IWA Puerto Rico Impacto Total 5/30/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/09/iwa-puerto-rico-impacto-total-5232026.html

Zenith Zion vs Vanilla Vargas

Barbie Boy vs El Wizard 

----

Raul Magnum is on commentary alone here.

Pedro Portillo III does a promo. He says it's uncomfortable for him to know that people think he has no feelings and values. He says it's hard to tell people he's the best. He says it's different for Luis Perez. He says their difference isn't vision but behavior.  He says he would never disrespect people like he did. He says if he touches him he's the bad guy. He says he doesn't care and has no worries. He's that king of guy and is happy to be the most hated guy in PR. He says he's the guy who will bring and take Luis Perez out of IWA. He says he's the best wrestler the country has had for the last 25 years.

We then see clips of Pedro slapping Luis and Luis saying he will beat him and take his head with the fans' support.

IWA Tag Titles - Super Atomo and El Gladiador Boricua (c) vs Cesar Aldea and Vulkano

Note - So Edrax Torres and Aldea were the tag champs heading into the 5/16 El Gran Festival de Lucha Libre show. They had an open challenge match. It appears that they lost the tag titles at that show to Super Atomo and El Gladidor Boricua, who answered the open challenge. But, that bout didn't air and it wasn't mentioned. It's also unknown why Atomo and Boricua are fighting on this show again. Suffice to say, I am very confused.

Boricua and CA lock up. CA side headlocks him. CA shoulders him over. Boricua hiptosses and dropkicks him. Boricua and CA trade punches outside. Boricua hits punches on CA then CA lariats him. Boricua is held in the corner for punches from Vulk. Vulk foot chokes him and CA gets some cheap shots in. 

Vulk chops Boricua and lariats him down. Vulk suplexes Boricua for 2. Vulk boots and stomps Boricua. CA hits corner spears on Boricua then snapmares him. CA chinlocks him. 

Boricua hits CA in the gut then they double clothesline each other. Atomo tags in. He hits shots on Vulk then flying headscissors him. Atomo corkscrew kicks Vulk. Atomo top rope crossbodies Vulk for 2. Atomo and CA trade punches. CA black hole slams him.

Boricua flying shoulders CA twice. Boricua shoulders him over and superkicks him. Vulk spinebusters Boricua. Atomo hits shots on Vulk in the corner then Vulk hits shots back. CA and Atomo are whipped into each other. Boricua jumping codebreakers Vulk and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a simple and basic match. It was acceptable but completely forgettable. The faces got beaten up, made their comeback and won.

Super Atomo does a promo on El Mexica. He says he is fighting El Mexica, who is agile, fierce, dangerous and has been around the world. He says he knows he's coming here for a title match. He tells Mexica to understand that if he thinks he will come here and implant Aztec blood in his territory, you are wrong. He says Puerto Rico is not intimidated and they are not afraid of anyone. He says Mexica is facing an entire nation. He tells him to be well prepared because it cost him blood and tears to obtain and he won't let Mexica take it.

We get a video on Ricky Banderas' career. They say he is reuniting with his brother Glamour Boy Shane and they say Ricky wants to re-claim his IWA World Title. 

Mr. Iguana says he's coming soon to IWA with La Yesca.

We see clips of Atomo and Boricua being beaten up by Manu, Savio Vega and Aldea after their match. Vega says they wanted to be champs and their's their title. Pupe Jackson runs down with a kendo tick and the heels run. Pupe says he wants a shot at Manu's title. Manu says he accepts. Vega says he will be the special ref.

IWA World Title - Special Ref is Savio Vega - Manu (c) vs Pupe Jackson

Pupe runs in, slides between the legs and hits punches on Manu. Pupe armdrags him and dropkicks him out. Pupe chops him outside and Manu chops back. Pupe punches Manu in the ring. Pupe is tripped into the buckles and takes a german for 2. 

Manu rakes Pupe's eyes with his feet. Manu hits mounted shots on Pupe. Manu chops Pupe. Pupe no sells it and chops back. Manu eye pokes him then lariats him. Manu suplexes Pupe for 2. Manu chinlocks Pupe then flatliners him. Manu does a koji clutch. Pupe fights out of the hold. 

Pupe hits back elbows on Manu. Manu ddt's him. Manu goes up top and Pupe overhead throws him down. Pupe hits punches on Manu then back body drops him. Manu 2nd rope twisting crossbodies him. Vega slow counts Pupe for 2. Pupe cutters Manu. Vega slow counts again for Pupe for a 2 count.

Pupe argues with Vega. Manu goes up and over Pupe then dropkicks him in the corner. Manu blue thunders Pupe for 2. Pupe michinoku drivers him for 2. Pupe top rope elbow drops Manu. Vega is refusing to count the pin and argues with Pupe instead. Jose Navarro then runs in and rainmakers Pupe. Vega of course somehow doesn't see it. Manu snetons Pupe and pins him.

Thoughts: We've seen a couple of this matches with Vega as the special ref. They all have gone similarly. Vega slow counts the faces, fast counts the heels and makes it impossible to win. It makes sense but you can only see it so many times. They had an alright match otherwise with Pupe getting close to pulling off the win before his former partner Navarro cost him the bout. 

We see a replay of some of Ricky Banderas' promo from last week. Banderas says welcome to the world of El Mesias. He says there will be a new story that he will write. He says no matter what excuse El Dragon Nihan has, he swears that Nihan will face him. He says Savio Vega is on the same path. Ricky says the title Manu has will be his. Ricky says he's not alone as he has Glamour Boy Shane with him and he's his lifelong friend. He says Shane has always been with him in his worst moments. He says he will put an end to Vega and his people. He says there will be a new era on 6/6 whether Vega likes it or not.  

Overall thoughts: I really wish they would have aired some of their recent tag title changes. Even clips would have been fine. It makes it hard to follow along when title changes aren't aired. We only had 2 new matches were and some replayed promos. Both matches were random and fine but they were simpler matches and they were nothing must see. Vega being a heel ref is getting old and I hope it is stopped soon. I'd give this a 5 out of 10 overall and it was acceptable.

TNA Xplosion 9/4/2026

TNA Xplosion 9/4/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/09/tna-xplosion-8282026.html

Next week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/09/tna-xplosion-9112026.html 

The only new content is:

Cheeseburger and The Home Town Man vs The Verdict (Bryce Donovan and Vinny Scalice)

Vin hits Home in the corner. Home shoulders him over. Home stomps him in the corner and running hip attacks him. The faces do their own dueling chants and they double suplex Vin.

Vin drops down and Bryce lariats CB. CB takes a side slam + reverse ddt combo for 2. Bryce and Vin stomp CB in the corner. Vin euros CB down. CB's legs are split and Vin superkicks him. Bryce elbow drops BC and poses. 

CB jawbreakers Bryce. Bryc and Vin try to stop CB's tag. Home tags in and lariats Vin down twice. CB TKO's Vin for 2. Home's throat is pulled down over the top. Vin pumping knees home. Vin goes up top and is crotched. CB shotei's Bryce. Home shiranui's Bryce and pins him.

Thoughts: It wasn't bad. CB and Home played underdogs and Home kind of played to the crowd a bit too much here. Bryce and Vin were fine as heels. It was something different at least and was a welcomed refresher. Bryce may be better off as a tag wrestler for now. 

Overall thoughts: We only had one new match here and that was the only new content on this one. It was a decent undercard match but nothing great. You don't need to see this one, but you can get through the new content in under 10 minutes. I wouldn't recommend this one.
