Spotlight Match: Jorge Santi vs Johnny Rivera

Johnny wants to Bork Bork Bork but Santi doesn’t want that at all. Johnny with a rana out the corner, Jorge plants a kick in the back of his head. Rivera firing back. Woof woof woof! Santi grounds the wild hound again. Big shoulder block and lariats as Rivera fires up again! Bulldog lands, kick out! Santi with a discus punch and shirt ddt for two! The wrist tape is coming off, he’s serious now. Johnny catches him with a pop up bomb for the win. I like seeing Johnny get this push lately.

Match 1: Mortar (w/ Brian Milonas) vs RJ Rude (w/ Rex Lawless)

Rude just catching Mortar over and over at the start. Mortar tries a reverse to the f5 but a huge codebreaker stuns him. RJ with a flip but he lands badly, Mortar takes advantage as Milonas cheers him on and mocks Rex from across the ring. Mortar just unloading heavy shots as he mocks RJ as being the “future of Wrestling Open”. That lights a fire, big thez press, back suplex, lionsault! Michanoku driver for two! RJ is full of rage as Mortar stumbles. RJ has him set for a superplex but Mortar with a tree of woe double stomp! RJ screams as he kicks out! Milonas is dumbfounded. Milonas tries a slick trip but catches his partner inside. Mortar is very WTF as he turns into spike headlock ddt. Wicked sell from the wet man on this and RJ gets a win!

Match 2: TJ Crawford vs Nolo Kitano

Nolo speaks for all of us in Worcester as he unloads the clip on Traitorous Jackass. TJ with a dodge and Nolo crashes with a double knee in the buckles. TJ just torturing the leg but Nolo is far from done. Huge shotgun in the corner. Nolo with a springboard meteroa for two! TJ throwing some heavy kicks, Nolo comes into the ropes but TJ is waiting. Choke on the rope, spinning back kick. Nolo can’t stand but TJ catches him and hits a side Russian to twist the knife on former partner Ryan Clancy. Good energy here. I’ve missed heel TJ.

Winner: TJ Crawford

Match 3: Antonio Christiano Zambrano (w/ Cypher) vs Stanley Dragowski

The Polish Eagle is back with polka and streamers! Let’s go! Big shoulder blocks, and ACZ gets tripped up…oh he’s injured? No, of course not. Big headbutt into the chest and Stanley is in trouble. Huge gutbuster. ACZ gets a water break while he beats up on Stanley. A huge PK to the gut…goooooooaaaaalllll! Dragowski coming with a full Nelson slam for two. He goes for the Polish Hammer but ACZ ducks it, huge PK and it’s lights out for Stanley. Both of these guys are a bit goofy but the crowd is pretty into them. We reeeeeallllly need to learn to count in Polish.

Winner: ACZ

Match 4: Brad Baylor vs Dezmond Cole

Baylor has the better hair (he says) but Cole asks if he can dance. Spoiler: he can’t. Cole with a capo kick and just hitting him with all the flash.  Baylor rides out the tide and just starts stomping  and kicking at Boofa. Cole slingshots in but Baylor hits a huge spinebuster before he has some words for a group of bizarrely adoring fans. What is happening. Baylor misses a knee drop, Cole back up with a flurry. Sweep the leg! Cole going for the kill but Baylor catches him with a running knee. Baylor trapped in the buckles for a superkick and falls back into a German. Huge rock bottom for the win!

Winner: Dezmond Cole

Cole on the mic. He appreciates all our support these past few months. He has more to say but Brother Greatness interrupts. He’s here to demand a rematch for Tyree Taylor after Cole CHEATED to win! Cole says that after these past few months, it’s gonna take something BIG to get that rematch. Greatness is left holding his mic as Boofa walks out smiling. 

Match 5: Cosmic vs Megan Bayne

The crowd doesn’t give Cosmic much of a chance here. Cosmic is able to stay ahead of Megasus’ bigger shots and stay competitive. Snap power slam out of the corner is the best chance she has before Megan fires back up. Cosmic with a foot choke and running spin kick. Samoan drop! Bayne keeps kicking out. Bayne blocks a suplex and Cosmic goes for the ride. Big dropkick from Bayne but Cosmic won’t die. Big northern lights for two. Cosmic tries a head scissor…nope, Bayne hits the tombstone and Cosmic hits a forced to bow down for the count. Good match here but it weird that the unstoppable Bayne has been in these highly competitive bouts lately.

Winner: Megan Bayne

Shook Crew is out here. Bryce apologizes for being occupied when Bobby was attacked in the back last week. Guess who it was? It sure was BRICK CITY. Of COURSE it was. 

Match 6: Shook Crew (Bryce Donovan & Bobby Orlando) vs Brick City (Julio Cruz & Victor Chase) 

Orlando is here for Justice as he opens up on Cruz. Bryce joins in the fun but leaves Julio’s fallen neat for Bobby to pin. Kick out. Victor with a distract and Cru blasts Bobby with a uranage. Chase finally in and hits a big lariat. Keep Bryce away as they double up on our mom. Bobby with a back elbow and hits the sick trick cutter! Tag to Bryce! His ribs are hurting but he blasts Victor with a flying clothesline. Chase sees the target and goes right for it. Bryce with the black hole slam…but that REAAAAALLLLLLYYYY hurts the ribs. Orlando gets posted by Cruz and they polish off Bryce with their new finish. Solid win for Brick City.

Winners: Brick City

Match 7: Aaron Rourke vs Alec Price

Rourke lets Price have his flowers, his first big entrance and celebration since escaping the clutches of The Stetson Ranch. Good lockup, Price is clearly enjoying the moment as he goes through his paces of reversals and wierd flips. Back and forth roll ups to the stalemate. Rourke catches a wheelbarrow into a facebuster. Price firing up, Rourke catches him with a double stomp. He just taunts and disrespects the Prize until he rages back to his feet. STO! He tries the knee sequence but Rourke’s ready for it…but not the step up ddt. Rourke dodges the Suprize kick…Price whiffs a cross body and Rourke capitalizes. Huge glam slam for two. Price flips free! Knee sequence! Leg lariat! Suuuuuprize kick! The Northeast Beast is back, bay bay!

Winner: Alec Price

Price has the mic and he’s glad to be back in Worcester’s good graces. He’s got something on his mind. He is glad to be free…and he has a score to settle. He’s coming for the ENTIRE STETSON RANCH. He’s coming for their heads. 

Match 8: Max Caster (w/ JGeorge) vs Dustin Waller (w/ Kylon King)

This is heated right away. Chops and slaps trade, Max wants the figure four early? No. Dustin relaxing as he taunts Max and blasts him with a facebuster and yeets him over the top. Plancha to the floor! Kylon and JGeorge appear to be quarreling over who is going to get the best camera shot in their respective vlogs. Dustin with a huge double chop on the apron and head scissor off the buckles! Max tries to capitalize off a missed cross body. Max stomping Dustin flat and blasts him into the buckles. Max tries to get into it with Kylon at ringside but that just gives Dustin’s chance to lay the roll up trap. Max to an abdominal stretch but Dustin tosses him free. Flash speeding things up and Max is struggling to keep up the pace. Handspring cutter for two! We have one minute left! JGeorge distracts Dustin from the finish, Max with the rollup and the ref misses the feet on the ropes entirely! Awesome match. 

Winner: Max Caster

Kylon is upset. Worcester is upset. This IS BULLS***. Kylon sends out his own challenge to Platinum Max. Max accepts only so he can clean Worcester up of its trash…because he’s running for MAYOR??? What?

Match 9: Even Stevens (Steve Somerset & Steve Azure w/ Brother Greatness) vs Waves & Curls (Traevon Jordan and Jaelyn Brandyn)

The altar boys of the church of Greatness are back! Unfortunately for them, they got W&C tonight. This is so wild to start. To summarize, there’s a lot of…cake…involved. Brother Greatness HAAAAAAATES this. So much sinning. Azure just eating the double teams as Somerset looks on helplessly. The church is just being embarrassed right now. Finally a distraction and Jaelyn gets a taste of these vestments. Jaelyn gets to Traevon and Somerset gets the longest bronco buster in the history of wrestling. A wave check to Azure later and the church has to look for donations elsewhere.

Winners: Waves & Curls

Match 10: Big Bacon Brad Hollister vs Filthy Tom Lawlor

This is just gonna bang, ain’t it? Yup, hard shots and chops back and forth. Let’s test those chests. Bacon refuses to be called weak. Lawlor just whipping Bacon until he cowers in the corner and lets the ref provide the distraction he needs. Bacon tossing him around and he’s gonna break his back? He’s gonna make him HUMBLE?!? Tom has a second pair of short jean shorts to make the reverse to the camel Clutch that much more awkward. Bacon drops him into the corner. Let’s go for that jackhammer. Lawlor fighting through the pain! Unloading punches! Huge overhead toss from the top! Tom with a spear in the corner and a spinebuster! Huge head kick thuds against Brad’s brainium. Brad reverses to the jackhammer…No! Lawlor slaps on a guillotine! Brad picks him up to the top and hits a superplex. We have less than a minute! Lawlor has a sleeper on. Bacon is tapping but TJ Crawford is distracting the ref…Tom blasts a knee into TJ but Bacon is ready for the sitout powerbomb to get the dirty win on filth Tom.

Winner: Brad Hollister

We have a Random Mystery Partner Tag Match now?!? Gabe Skye and Wrestling Open champ Ichiban will clash for the belt soon but now they get to get a preview of each other’s skill. 

Match 11: Gabriel Skye & Anthony Greene vs Ichiban & Love Doug

Greene is back!!! What a partner for Gabe to draw tonight! Greene is introduced to the fun stylings of one Cupid Douglas. This is more of a singles encounter for these two as the champ and eventual challenger cheer from the tag ropes. Doug finally crawls to the tag and Greene finds out why Ichiban is the champion. Spiked on his dome, Gabe is in! Huuuuge falcon arrow. I think this is lucha rules? Doug and Green le get tossed, Ichiban goes flying over the top! Gabe follows with a triangle moonsault! Greene directing traffic and setting Ichiban up for the kill…suddenly he crotches Skye on the top rope. Superkick to his own partner! Greene wants the belt for himself! He tries to wipe out Ichiban with his own belt but settles to draw the stoppage by blasting Ichiban with his Skywalker championship. 

Winner: No Contest

Greene doesn’t care what Skye or Ichiban want. Or what we want. He’s NOT some nostalgia act…he cares about one thing, the Wrestling Open Championship. And next week: He is going title for title with Ichiban. Skywalker Champion vs Wrestling Open Champion. NEXT. WEEK. Man, Ichiban is just having a hell of a time as champ.

Shannon’s starting with nunchucks. This spills to the floor and I lose track of the fight immediately lol. This is going through the crowd, Shannon SLAMMED TO THE FLOOR! Shannon off the bat with a cross body! Becca loads the ring with plunder. Shannon winds up with a garbage can over her head and Becca blasts it with the nunchucks.
