This looks great. I’m chugging coffee and preparing to wrap this wild weekend up.

Winner (and still champ): Alex Shelley

The pin may have been a little botched, some definite confusion between the opponents if the match had concluded.

Great drama here as Henry picked apart Shelley’s knee but the veteran did enough to retain his title.

Main Event: Jake Something vs WARHORSE (for the BLP Championship)

Something is a beast of a man who has allowed his recent title victory and defense against Calvin Tankman to be tainted by cheap tactics and bullying.

The distraction allows Something to hit a huge Black Hole Slam for the pin.

Winner (and still champ): Jake Something

Absolutely fire match. Something is a beast. Loved the drama of wiping off the war paint to get in the challenger’s head. In the end, Something gets another tainted win. Gary Jay enters the ring, drops the IWTV belt and hits a rolling elbow on WARHORSE. “Black Label Pro, do I have your attention NOW?” Says Gary Jay. He announces his challenge for the IWTV belt at “Slamilton” next month. Give me the next chapter of this feud!??

And that’s it for “Threat Level Noon”! A solid exciting show that built great through the afternoon. Standouts were the tag title match and the main event. Loved the storytelling through the show that definitely made me want to keep an eye out for BLP’s next card. ??

Next up is “Shimmer at the Collective” at 4pm! Until then!
