Open officials consider the matter closed.
Spotlight Match: “Da Big Boofa” Dezmond Cole vs Bobby Orlando (w/ Bobby Jr)
Oh my god this is gonna be one of those wild Spotlight matches, eh? Some good crowd work and reversals. Bobby dodges a sweep into An elbow drop! Boofa with that sick sunset flip bomb to the buckles. Rolling leg drop for two! Bobby with a back cracker and a flurry of punches. A huge clothesline turns Boofa inside out. AA! Cole kicks out! He fights off a Bobby bomb! Step up German off the second! He sets Bobby for the finish….reverse to a cutter and a Dab Elbow drop finishes Boofa. This was a lot of fun!
Winner: Bobby Orlando
And we’re live on IWTV! Rich Palladino is your announcer! Paul Crockett and Denver Colorado are your commentators! Let’s goooooo!
Match 1: Aaron Rourke vs Bryce Donovan
Billed as a grudge match between former Club Cam stablemates. Rourke wants nothing to do with this and powders repeatedly. Bryce ever rips his shirt off but Aaron ambushes off the apron. Bryce tries to control him but Rourke bites him hard on the neck for a near five count. Bryce is staggered and Rourke is swarming with stomps and slaps. Donovan firing back but misses a knees onto the buckles. Tree of woe double stomp from the Dimepiece and he tries a cocky one foot pin. Nonono. Rourke gets to threatening the ref if he doesn’t count the three for him. Bryce with a dodge and posts Rourke! Heavy hands from the big man! Lariats! Big boot! Elbow drop! Rourke out of the corner but runs into a chokeslam! Kick out! Rourke grabs the ponytail and pulls himself up by Bryce’s head. Bryce off the ropes with a lariat! Crowd pretty hot as Bryce tries to pick up Rourke but his knee is starting to give out. Rourke chops blocks and stomps that limb hard. Rourke comes running but Bryce tosses him over the top. We’re at the nine minute mark as Rourke smashes the knee on the apron. He comes running into a black hole slam and puts on the anaconda Vice. Rourke starts biting again and refuses to let up. The ref disqualifies him! Rourke, with nothing to lose, charges him and bites at Bryce’s face. It takes two refs to pull him off. Bryce is screaming in pain as Rourke taunts the crowd.
Winner: Bryce Donovan (by DQ)

Match 2: Kelly Madan vs “Big Money” Layla Luciano
Madan is giving up a lot of size to Layla. Luciano takes the legs early and tries for that giant swing but Kelly scrambles away. Kelly kicks the leg out and goes near rabid as she tries to rip that limb off. Kelly misses a bronco buster, owwww. Double atomic drop and a full 20 rotations on that giant swing puts Madan away fast. Winner: Layla Luciano

Match 3: Higher Society (Paris Van Dale & Armani Kayos) vs Teddy Goodz & Little Mean Kathleen
LMK takes an early beating from Paris but Armani really can’t keep the momentum. LMK and Teddy just running Kayos over through a bunch of double teams. Kayos with a jaw jacker but LMK is out.

LMK causes a collision! Tag to Teddy! Heavy shots as Goodz goes wild! LMK yeeted off the top into a cross body for two! Paris tags in but runs into a Dudley Dog! LMK gets the pin!
Winners: Teddy Goodz & LMK
Rich Palladino brings out Tyree Taylor for an interview. He brings up the beatdown he suffered at the hands of the Stetson Ranch. Tyree is EXCITED for tonight’s main event. He doesn’t even know who he’s gonna punch first! He has a backpack and we wanna know what he’s got…next week he has a match for Steven Stetson and the stipulation is in the bag. It’s a BULLROPE! Thanksgiving night! Taylor vs Stetson in a bullrope match!!!
Match 4: Brother Greatness vs Dan Barry
I didn’t know I needed this match until I saw it right in front of me. BG wants to preach. Dan Barry just wants to beat the snot out of him. BG thinks he’s doing slick reversals but Dan Barry is right there to counter them. BG with a dropkick and finally gets some offense….until he misses a big cross body. Heavy kicks to the head. Cannonball! Slingshot knee flip senton! BG gets the rope. BG tries to fight off the head but end up diving right into a torture rack facebuster for the win! This was just delightful.
Winner: Dan Barry

Match 5: Randy Rivera (w/ Armani Kayos) vs “The Israeli Action Figure” Gal Barkay
Another clash of former partners! Gal’s newfound confidence is radiating off him as he comes in. Rivera pie faces him but Gal right off the ropes with a head scissor. Big fallaway slam! Huge corner shots and Rivera runs for the hills. Barkay with a suicide dive out there. Rivera pulls Gal off the ropes into a backbreaker and starts working him over. Uranage for two. Release German out of the corner! Swing backbreaker! Rivera trying to keep the pressure on. Gal with an enziguri off the rope! Hip toss backbreaker! Back suplex! Flying shotgun dropkick! Gal goes for the finish but Kayos is on the apron. Gal knocks him off, Rivera tries to capitalize but walks right into the suplex chokeslam for the win!
Winner: Gal Barkay
Match 6: “Dream Crusher” Danny Miles vs Fancy Ryan Clancy
The crowd angering Miles with their chants for Fancy. He refuses to lose again and Clancy just takes him through a series of quick pin attempts. Miles blasts a knee to the gut, he’s furious with some “You trying to make me look bad on tv?!?” Energy. Miles stomping out Fancy. He can’t keep his focus though as he keep screaming about his “fluke” loss. Clancy with a big slam and a monkey flip! Clancy with an up and over but he lands bad…the ref tries to keep Miles away but he runs in with an ankle lock and Clancy taps out.
Winner: Danny Miles
Clancy grabs the mic, he calls that win by Miles cheap. He wants to beat him again…hell, he wants to beat him two more times…so how about they make this a best of five? Miles is furious but accepts.

Match 7: Ray Jaz vs Love Doug
Doug has been waiting for this since Jaz took a cheap tactic to beat him many months ago. Doug out hot but Jaz hot shots him into the ropes. We are chanting hard against Wrestling Open’s biggest piece of s*** and he is beating on Doug just as hard as we hate on him. Doug finally firing out of the corner. Smooches! Cutter at the five minute mark! Jaz is staggered, Doug goes for the rebound clothesline, Jaz with his backslide pin and gets it clean. Arrrrrrgh.
Winner: Ray Jaz
That finish! What a backslide from @thereal_RayJaz ???????? #WrestlingOpen pic.twitter.com/NEfTvSS7wp

Match 8: CPA vs “The Meat Man” John Silver
Huge Welcome Home for Silver. Silver is apparently mad that CPA didn’t save him a lot on his taxes so now they have to fight. Silver and CPA trade some really good impressions of each other. Meat Man tricks CPA to face his fear and jump off the top rope…and miss entirely. CPA hits Form 619 and Silver rages back. He rips his shirt off…Silver is confused because he has a CPA sleeveless on under his shirt! CPA has a silver shirt under his shirt?!? Top rope dropkick connects but Silver is out. CPA tries a back slide but Silver rolls through. Heavy kicks! CPA tries to crunch numbers! Silver out and hits the Soin Doctor for the win! This was stupidly fun and flew by.
Winner: John Silver

From the bottom of my heart, Thankyou. pic.twitter.com/1CKW7Rs29M
Brad Hollister, Steven Stetson & Mane Event (Midas Black & Jay Lyon) vs Tyree Taylor and Miracle Ones (Dustin Waller, Kylon King, Ichiban)
This is destined to be a brawl and brawl they do. Did the bell ring? I think it did? Everyone is all over the building but Tyree manages to catch Bacon in the ring and unloads hard. Big uranage and a tag to Ichiban! Number one splash tossed down for two! We have an order to this match finally! Miracle Generation with the splash combos on Lyon and this knockoff Pokémon has to kick out. Midas tries to save it but Kylon is just running him over. Stetson with a distract and Bacon powerbombs King out of the air. Stetson in and beating on Kylon while the apron gets cleared. Bacon and Ichiban brawl to the back. Dustin in and taking his tag challengers out! Double cutter for two! Lyon with a Nelson bomb and Midas throws him into a senton on the ropes. Flash with a double ddt! He makes the crawl…Tyree is in and he’s Running wild! Triple stack corner spear! Elbow to the back but Stetson kicks out! Mane an event with the throwing knife to Taylor! Lyon catches Flash out of the air and tombstones him! Kylon with a brain buster! Sterson with a spinning powerbomb! Double cross body and everyone’s down! Bacon is magically back and and in Tyree’s face. Tyree right up and choking Backn so hard he apologizes…and turns into a Ichiban cross body from the heavens! Tyree with a huge lariat! Ichiban off the top but Stetson breaks it up! Mane event double chop blocks Tyree and bombs Ichiban into them. Miracle Generation is still standing but the odds don’t look great. Everyone’s down again and Pedro Dones is out here to coach Mane Event back into the fight. Flash with a cutter and goes to the top, Dones is on the apron and Dustin is right in his face. Love Doug pulls Dones off and they’re brawling. Midas tries a rollup on Flash but Dustin rolls throw and gets the three…but his arm was definitely on the rope so there is an argument for this finish to not be entirely legit.
Winners: Tyree & Miracle Ones
Ichiban wants a piece of Brad Hollister next week at Autumn Classic. And he wants it to be a two out of three falls match! They heels clear out and we all sing Happy Birthday to Dustin Waller!
This show was about as good of a go-home show as you could want ahead of the absolutely STACKED Thanksgiving show “Autumn Classic”.
Huge shout out to @KenBurns for the poster inspiration!
