Wrestling Open Week 8

2/24/22 - Worcester, MA

Streaming on IWTV.live

I’m back from the land of Mexico and a LOT happened last week while I was gone Well, at least they are warning me that I have to watch a Ray Jaz match later. Tonight is also notable for the arrival of one DIRTY DANGO, who conducted a seminar earlier in the day that I heard was awesome. 

Spotlight Match: Tony Vincita vs JP Grayson

Tony is all meat and thinks JP is slim pickings. He beats up JP for a while, working the crowd well until Grayson starts to fire back. Tony with a roaring elbow to the back of the head as JP tries a  handspring back elbow ends this! Good crowd control from Tony! I guess I need to be cheering JP in this impending feud with Tommy?

Winners Tony Vincita

And we’re liiiiiive on IWTV! It appears that Denver Colorado has gotten over his overwhelming sadness at the loss of Uncharted Territory and has decided to join stalwart commentary machine Paul Crockett at the desk tonight. Rich Palladino is your announcer! Let’s gooooo! 

Match 1: Dirty Dango & Mo Jabari vs Waves & Curls (Traevon Jordan & Jaelyn Brandyn)

The crowd was hot for the arrival of Mr. Dango but exploded for Waves & Curls. What a matchup! Jaelyn & Jabari lock up early and trade positions and pin attempts quick. Good hot start and a handshake of respect at the kip up. Dango and Traevon get in and it’s a battle of hip power that faints Dango flat. He can’t handle the raw energy of Jordan early but cuts the big man down with a dropkick. Dango eats an atomic drop and springboard lariat from

Brandyn for two! Dirty Dango double teamed and can’t hang with the men from your baby mama’s dreams. Dango kicks of Brandyn, plants Jordan with a DDT. Jabari gets the tag and cleans house. Brandyn slammed onto Jordan. Jabari off the top for two. He tries a backstabber but Traevon holds the ropes. Waves & Curls hit the Wave Check before Dango can make the save! Count him down! Good sportsmanship between the teams, this was a load of fun to kick off the night. 

Winners: Waves & Curls

Match 2: “The Prize” Alec Price vs “The Big Boy from Brooklyn” Tyree Taylor

The ACE chants are loud for Price tonight…as are the GAHBIDGE jeers. Taylor doesn’t have the best record at Wrestling Open but he should be a stiff test. Tyree REAAAAALLLLLY wants to hit Price with his very large chain. About half the audience would have loved that. Price clowning but he doesn’t want to feel power. Tyree with a kip up and snatches the ankle. Tyree catches a leapfrog into a great uranage. Price uses the cameramen as obstacles and gets a cheap shot on Tyree. Taylor posted but ain’t dead. Disaster kick from Price chops down the big man. Price coming for the kill but Taylor punches him out of the sky. Price off the rope, Tyree catches him with anhuuuuuuge falcon arrow for a close two. Price turned inside out with a lariat! The crowd pops hard for Tyree on these spots. Price fights out of powerbomb, flying double stomp but Tyree walks through it. Price tries again and Tyree catches him again. Price tosses up and he comes back down with a double stomp from the heavens. One su-prize kick later and Tyree is down for the three. This was f***ing great. Holy hell I loved this.

Hoss in the territory. He’s the Ace and is back to put boots to faces. Also he called us Worcester Worms again, as he is oft to do.

Orlando is full baby face mode tonight against the Cobra. Singh is aggressive but Bobby chops him up with his sick tricks. Singh rakes the eye…uppercuts Bobby out of the sky. Huge flurry of chest kicks on the ropes and Bobby’s out at two. Big powerslam for another near fall. Bobby out, drops Arjun, huge top rope elbow with a mid-air dab for two! Bobby hits a cutter for the win!

They lay some bricks on his chest and walk out as Lyon tries to tend to his fallen partner. The refs have to literally drag Midas to the back. This was awesome.

Winners: Brick City Boyz 

Main Event: “The Shore Thing” Ray Jaz vs Love Doug

Save me from future Ray Jaz matches, Cupid Douglas. Anyways the f***ing Jaz tip of the day is “if you’re not first, you’re last”. Apparently love doesn’t get your hand raised. Doug just tells Ray to SHUT UP. Ray Jaz powders immediately like the coward he is…but he won’t stop smiling. He lets Doug take a headlock and immediately deposits the young lover on the top buckle. Doug tries the headlock again and has better luck this time until Jaz forces a break in the corner….and of course it isn’t clean. Doug with a step away dodge and tries the rebound lariat but runs into dropkick. Ray stomps him out, saying that all Doug is good for is giving up. Big back suplex and Jaz is fully confident and I can’t stop throwing up in my mask. Ray Jaz is getting some Ken Doane in Worcester heat here. Doug trying to fight back with the crowd willing him on but Jaz has this match slowed to a punishing crawl of pain. Jaz carries Doug out of the corner with a slam for another near fall. Jaz tries for the cradle powerbomb…Doug with a head scissor takedown! Jaz eats a double knee! Doug throwing punches! Flying forearm! Huge bulldog out of the corner! WE LOVE DOUG! Jaz tries to pop up but eats a slingshot back elbow! Doug with the cravat and flips over with a neckbreaker for two. Jaz dodges the rebound clothesline, he rolls up Doug. FEET WELL ON THE ROPE THIS CHEATING POS and Ray Jaz gets the pin…

Winner: Ray….Jaz….

-_-

OK SO, my own biases against one Raymond Jazzington the 0th aside, this was a really good show. From the super fun open to that bananas Price/Taylor match, to the world trash promo, to the wild 6-man, to the very good no-DQ and yes, even to the main event. We’re building stories and stars week over weeks. This crowd was bigger than I remember a couple weeks back and absolutely on fire. WAS there another show on Thursdays? I forget.

Next week, it’s Price vs Lawless & Bakabella vs LMK & Hopefully Ray Jaz in a blindfold match with a wood chipper. Until then!
