Spotlight Match: Blaxstrom & Skyros vs Landon Hale & Jaden Valo (Saturn & Kronus Eliminator Cup Qualifier)
The tournament may already be underway but we have time for one more qualifier! Valo is the excited little brother, screaming HIIIIIIIIIII at Blaxstrom, who is very annoyed at this kid. Valo with a springboard arm drag, takedown flip to a splash. Hale with a moonsault to the back for two! Skyros in and he isolates Valo. Blaxstrom pulls the leg and Skyros dropkicks him coming off the corner. Valo flips and slides free of harm, tag to Hale! High crossbody! Knee to a backbreaker! Hale lawn darts Skyros into Blaxstrom. German for two! Great flurry! Blaxstrom tags in blind, Hale thrown into a hard lariat, gory bomb cutter combo to Hale ends this for the torture kings.
Winners: Blaxstrom & Skyros

Alec Price’s music hits and the Wrestling Open locker room spills out into the White Eagle. Well, the faces do. Huge Wrestling Open chant after their 4:3 series win at “Please Come Back”! Price kicks us off and tells the crowd to be loud and not to be bustah’s. Wise words. The Nottheast Beast rallies the crowd and wrestlers. Huge Ace chants for the Prize. He says he’s not cleared to wrestle tonight after his fight with Biff Busick. Armani Kayos is out here with Randy Rivera. He calls us Team Poor and runs down Price, calling him old news and saying Rivera is the future of Wrestling Open. If Price can’t compete this week, maybe he faces the future next week? “Is that a serious question?” Asks Price. He takes it to the crowd, Worcester definitely would like Randy Rivera to get his butt whipped by the Ace. NEXT week. Kayos and Rivera beat feet to the back as we head to our first match!
Match 1: “Big Bacon” Brad Hollister vs Nolo Kitano
Hollister is a BIT more confident after he got choked by Alec Price a few weeks back. Hard shove sends Nolo to the canvas. This wants to be a Bacon mugging but Nolo is flipping and flying all over. Hollister takes a walk on the floor, he catches Nolo, slam to the apron and a pummeling. Kitano saying heavy shots, a big German, Bacon stalking him. Hollister wants these chops so he can return in kind and cut this kid down. Nolo fires back, Hollister picks the leg off a leapfrog. Corkscrew slam and a senton for two! Hollister tries to put him to sleep, push off, shotgun dropkick to a backbreaker for two! Hollister blasts him back but Kitano kicks out! Bacon is FRUSTRATED. Tornado kick to the temple! Kitano with a superplex and a knee to the forehead! Very close two! Double knee to the corner! Hollister headbutts Nolo and hops off the corner into a jackhammer for the win!
Winner: Brad Hollister
Superplex/Kamigoye combo from Nolo! #WrestlingOpen pic.twitter.com/nXH55DYt1i

Match 2: Randy Rivera (w/ Armani Kayos) vs Prince Ahmed
Alec Price hops onto commentary with Paul Crockett for this one. It’s been a hot second since Ahmed has been here but we remember to chant Google It! Ahmed with a flying kick and a spike facebuster. Wild open. Rivera with the hot shot and a facebuster for the two. Rivera goes to work, gutwrench suplex for two. Ahmed with a backbreaker and stack up for two! Back kick out of a pumphandle! Rivera hits a spear out of the corner…Kayos says he shouldn’t take the pin here. Rivera hits a brutal rack attack for the win!
Winner: Randy Rivera
Welcome to Worcester, where if you try to talk about God we will chant about Satan, but yell at us in a different language and tell us to Google it? Immediately over and we love you. The way life should be.

This is why @WrestlingOpen is the best wrestling out there.
Brad Hollister is back out here for some reason? He decides to hang out on commentary now that Price is gone.
Match 3: Percy Ryan vs Tyree Taylor
Hollister is clearly giving Tyree a look after his war with Ricky Shane Page on Sunday. Rivera gets PUMMELED. A huge lariat and a sky high powerbomb puts this kid away. This was probably the squash that Hollister wanted his match with Nolo to be.
Winner: Tyree Taylor
Taylor on the mic. He has something on his mind. He admits that he was on the losing side of the 4:3. Brad Hollister is standing up, he says Tyree is a loser and he did more from his couch on Sunday than Taylor did in the ring. Taylor reminds him that Price put Bacon to sleep, like a Baby Back B****. Is this a challenge? Tyree has time for this. Hollister says NOT TONIGHT. Boooooooooo!
. @BigBaconBrad ass is gonna get so kicked it'll be crispy on both slices when @T_Taylor347 cooks it ???? #DreamMatch #WrestlingOpen @WrestlingOpen pic.twitter.com/MTbxHtxlNd

Hard shoulder block from Heru. Pittman with some rapid leapfrogs and a bulldog! Pittman has to chase Heru down and gets hard stomped as he slides into the ring. Huge cutter from Heru. Pittman’s up because Heru can’t stop taunting. Release German! Running knee! F5 variation from Pittman for the win! The comeback spot was A+.
Winner: Ray Pittman
“Where my dogs at?!?”. Pittman is still hungry! He calls out Max Caster for a shot at the 10k briefcase next week!!! Brother Greatness is out here to berate Jay Heru for losing all the time. He slaps him repeatedly and drives him to the back.
Well, it’s Stetson Ranch time. He has an important announcement. He gave BRG (and Clip Clop) the night off. He’s got some surprises. It’s time for a Stetson Ranch Open Challenge with surprise partners! Johnny Santos is out here! He likes mystery dance partners too!
Match 5: Steven Stetson, Eric Martin & Delmi Exo vs Johnny Santos, Encore & Clara Carreras
Clara goes right to Exo but eats a knee to the gut. Super spin out head scissors! Martin and Encore tangle up. Martin’s a hoss though and tosses the Last Entertainer. Santos tags in and gets the double teams on the big man. As Santos tries to take him solo, he eats a huge slam. Stetson with his seated senton to the back. Santos taking a beatdown from all three. Santos finally tags out! Stetson distracted, Clara head scissors him out. Martin sent to the floor by Santos! Delmi fights off a dance, murders Santos with a suplex. La Chica shotguns her to the corner! Cannonball and moonsault to Delmi! Stetson lariats Clara in the back of the head and drags Exo on top of Clara for the win.
Winners: Stetson and the Ranchhands.

Tonight, the Brick City Boyz are going to be paying the price for siding with Beyond Wrestling on Sunday in the 8-man tag. They have a heck of a test and a terrible partner for this 6-man.

Match 8: Brick City Boyz (Victor Chase & JCruz) & JGeorge vs Shook Crew (Bryce Donovan & Bobby Orlando w/ Bobby Jr) & Rip Byson
Did we throw bricks at Brick City? Is Brick City upset at their mandated partner? Is Brick City upset to fight Shook Crew again? Is Brick Coty upset that Rip Byson is in this match too? The answer to all of this is yes. JGeorge is just getting battered as Brick City is helpless to do anything. Byson lariats them off the apron and they use Orlando as a battering ram into the Director. Kick out?!? Chase and Cruz finally in and isolate Orlando. JGeorge wants a piece to get back at Shook but he’s bad at that and thankfully his partners save him again. Orlando kicks free! Tag to Byson! Huge lariats in the corner. Bryce in, everyone’s down! JGeorge shows his script to the Bricks….Byson clotheslines him and Brick City leaves JGeorge to his fate…a Byson Burning Hammer for the three!
Winners: Shook Crew & Rip Byson
Okay, WHOEVER THROW A BRICK AT MY HEAD, I WANNA MEET YOU OUTSIDE NEXT SHOW ???? #WrestlingOpen

Match 9: The Church of Greatness (Brother Greatness & Sammy Diaz & Jay Heru) vs Miracle Ones (Dustin Waller & Ichiban & Kylon King)
We had some leftover bricks. And some fake money. And some deviled ham. Brother Greatness made out great in the collection plate tonight, lemme tell ya. Apparently Heru’s night ain’t over and he’s getting some strength from his church. The Miracle Ones are taking the church to catechism until Ichiban gets tripped and gutted on the top rope. Transition vertical suplex to Ichiban! Heru shows Greatness what a good suplex is. There’s a huge crack in this unit. Diaz in, double crossbody! Double down. Waller in, rolling DVD! Kylon with an exploder! Dive to the floor! Greatness catches a lethal injection, flying bulldog wipes out Dustin but Heru made a blind tag?!? He goes into face Greatness, but he gets blasted with a boot. Double pop up miracle cutter to Heru ends the Church’s night terribly…but it’s definitely Heru’s fault this time.
Winners: Miracle Ones

— Brother Greatness (@bgreatness2012) June 17, 2022
Brother Greatness grabs a mic and berates him and says he needs to be better…like Brother Sammy. Diaz abandons Brother Greatness. He doesn’t want to be in this church anymore clearly. Greatness scuffs his boot on Heru’s head and scolds him to the back again.
Good news: the church of Greatness was all over The Open tonight

Cons: we lost a valued member and brother @jherushinedawn has embarrassed us again!!
There will be a change at #wrestlingopen
Main Event: Teddy Goodz (w/ Little Mean Kathleen) vs “The Shot Caller” Pedro Dones
Goodz had a score to settle anyways but Dones cost the Flavortown Warriors their spot in the Eliminator Cup on Sunday. Now it’s a GRUDGE MATCH. Dones says he’s coming for Teddy’s skull. Goodz is all over Dones and beats him to the outside. Goodz smashes a drink in his face! He throws him to the walls, he introduces him to a table.Double axe handle off the apron! He tries to smash Dones hand with the ring bell like he did a few weeks ago. He shoves LMK into Goodz and attacks him with a chair. I guess we’re using RELAXED RULES? Dones chokes Goodz with the camera cable and blasts him with a crutch! Dones continues the assault until Goodz rams him to the apron. LMK willing Goodz on! Dones with a delay fisherman’s buster! Goodz firing back up with back elbows! He tries the backpack stunner….Dones biting? Goodz tries to shake him off but the ref takes a bump. Dones goes for a punt on LMK while she helps the ref. Goodz jumps in front of that kick and goes limp. Dones says “School’s out” as he slams Goodz down for the three.
Winner: Pedro Dones
