Beyond Wresting & Women’s Wrestling Revolution Plus Supershow “Reverse the Curse”

11/7/21 - Somerville, MA

Streaming on IWTV.live

We’ve returned to the Armory in Somerville for the first time in 4 years! This is honestly one of my favorite venues Beyond has run so it’s fantastic to be back in here (and up on this sweet balcony). Beyond and WWR+ are joining forces today for a super-sized show! Sidney Bakabella and Paul Crockett are your commentators. Rich Palladino is your announcer. Let’s gooooooo!

But of course, let’s warm up the crowd with a spotlight match! 

Spotlight Match: Club Cam (Bryce Donovan, Bobby Orlando & Aaron Rourke w/ Cam Zagami) vs A Very Good Lehigh Valley Wrestling Trio )Lucky 13, Dan Champion & A Very Good Professional Wrestler)

AVGPW armdrags Orlando to the match quick and tries a quick pin. Orlando thinks he’s THE BEST but AVGPW shows him otherwise before bringing in Big Dan. Donovan has muscles too? He goes toe to toe with shoulder blocks, resorting to a gut kick to break the stalemate but eats a huge vertical suplex. Rourke provides a distraction, giving Club Cam an opportunity to steal a pin after a slingshot clothesline and split legged moonsault from Rourke. Lucky 13 in and almost gets a pin on a rana. 13 misses a dive off the top but gets caught in the wrong corner. AVGPW in with a powerbomb to Bobby. Donovan thinks he made the save but gets Germaned by Dan. 13 with a lucha corkscrew cutter to Rourke! Cam in the ring and causing trouble….13 feeds him a knee. AVGPW with a gory special and Big hits a Vader bomb. Club Cam swarms but Big Dan stands tall. Slam to Orlando. He tries the Vader bomb again but Donovan gets him up for a doomsday device. Rourke with a 450 splash closes this out.

Winners: Club Cam

Match 5: Kings of the District (Jordan Blade & Eel O’Neal) vs Trish Adora & Suge

While I love everyone in this match, I cannot properly convey how happy I am to see Suge D back in the northeast. The crowd clearly agrees. Suge playing like he’s rusty before getting to work on O’Neal with that king of catch style the Artiste worked out in the UK. He get a cravat and stretches Eel out. Eel gives Suge a little more activity that he expected so he grabs the wrist and works him to the mat. Eel with a headlock “are those ABS?” Says Suge before he gets shot off into a rollup attempt. Suge dropped to the rope and eats a 61Knee. Suge with the cravat takedown and diving back headbutt. He tries working a Wrsitlock before Jordan Blade comes in to talk trash, tag in and work Suge to the mat for a beating. Suge catches the leg and tries an ankle lock but that just keeps Blade in range to chop him up. Suge turns it on with some body shots, Blade back with a spinning chop to the throat and he goes to tag in Adora before he collapses. Adora and Blade pick up where they left off from Thursday’s main event but now Eel can run interference and help work the champ over. Eel makes a mistake and gas into the cattle mutilation. Suge adds a crab to the mix, prompting Blade to enter and chop/stomp her partner out of danger. Eel freed and throwing hands on Suge in the corner.

Winners: Kings of the District

KOD wait for their opponents to get back up and offer a handshake of respect. Blade and Trish hug it out. Suge brings Trish her Pan Afrikan World Diaspora Wrestling Championship but can’t let it go. Oh yes, Suge wants HIS shot. Gimme THAT. Show them that energy you’ve been cultivating in the Southeast. 

Matt Cardona is out and NOT IMPRESSED by Somerville. He’s the two time Internet champion and Deathmatch King! He says he’s the ACE of Beyond…the Johnny Ace of Beyond. It’s time to end the career of Teddy Goodz. He says he’s going to Kowloon and celebrate making Goodz his b****. Needless to say, the Beyond crowd is here to boo this man. 

Match 6: Matt Cardona (w/ Smart Mark Sterling) vs Teddy Goodz

Cardona won’t put the Internet belt on the line. Heck, he powders immediately and refuses to engage. He’s back in and muscles Goodz but gets run into the corner and armdragged into a state of frustration. Cardona jawing with the crowd that hates him before getting back to overpowering Teddy Goodz. He’s preening too much and Goodz blasts a lariat. Cardona needs to retreat for a tête-à-tête with Sterling. Cardona gets the mic, calls Goodz a hell of a competitor and tries to back out of the match and go to Kowloon and come on his podcast. It’s a great cop-out spot. Goodz is ready for the fake out and plants Cardona to the mat, hitting a backdrop that sends him out again. Good gives chase and they fight on the stage.

Wheeler has a stiff test against the wall that is Jeff Cobb. Cobb throws Yuta out of the lockup several times. Cobb will not be moved. Yuta is fighting though, hurting his own shoulder trying to punch and ram Cobb down. Yuta with a lucha arm drag but Cobb just absorbs the chops. Yuta is staying ahead of Cobb’s heavy artillery but he finally gets caught in a belly to belly suplex and his reversals are ground to a halt. Cobb lays in the beating, surfing on Yuta’s back at one point. Big delay vertical suplex slam but the over confident cover is too easy for Yuta to kick out of.

Winner: Alec Price

RSP stays behind and cuts our show ending promo. Wrestling is better than it’s ever been…and worse than it has, with all the clout chasers. But RSP is waiting for them all…but he has one person in particular he wants to call out right now. He has one BROSKI in mind….and he’s waiting for him. 

Mark Sterling & VSK come out and say that Cardona went to Kowloon. This is BS of course, as Cardona blasts RSP in the back of the head with the Internet title and hits a rough Ryder to stand tall over the Beyond original and soak in the hatred of this crowd as he leaves. 

And that’s it for “Reverse the Curse”! This was a grand return to one of Beyond’s best venues. An absolute monster of a show where everyone turned the dial up to 11. The crowd was fired up and the matches over delivered. Uncharted Territory has been a great weekly fix but THIS was the type and size and energy of Beyond show that made me a fan originally. Check it out on IWTV! Beyond returns to the White Eagle this Thursday as they work their way back to Providence for Fete Forever. Until then!
