8/3 WRESTLING OPEN LIVE REPORT FROM WORCESTER, MA

Wrestling Open Week 83

8/3/23 Worcester, MA

Spotlight Match: Leo Sparrow vs Nick Robles

Nick is a fun rocker guy but also is just all over him with his aggressive eco-warrior attitude. Really, he makes me want to watch a seagull choke on a plastic soda can wrapper. After a huge flurry of strikes, Leo goes for a handful of…is that spinach? Robles lands a great spear and spine buster. He’s winding up the finish but Leo snaps on a guillotine choke and gets the tap for the win!

Winner: Leo Sparrow

Brother Greatness is on commentary with Paul Crockett. Rich Palladino is your announcer. We’re kicking off with the Big Business Quarterly report. Brad Hollister has a giant art canvas and is forcing Rich Palladino to hold the giant pad. Apparently the stocks are high on Brick City and TJ Crawford. Also he attributes any rise in stock for Ryan Clancy, Dezmond Cole, Richard Holliday and even Wrestling Open itself to his influence. He’s about to tell us fans how awful we are but Stanley Dragowski is out here to interrupt. Hollister gets in his face for being a Nobody…Stanley shoots streamers into his face! Brad rolls out and announces that, against his better judgement, Hollister is going fight Dragowski LATER TONIGHT!

Match 1: Joe Ocasio vs Spencer Scott

I don’t think Scott really has a shot here. He does a good job staying out of the line of fire early. A cross body gets a one count. Ocasio with a powerslam and just starts unloading on Scott. I…think he just started shouting “How do you like THAT, Gal”? Apparently, he got knocked around too much in the last month. Scott tries to rally. Ocasio with a flying headbutt and hits the pop up spine buster shouting Gal Barkay’s name as he gets the three. Someone has a bad taste in his mouth.

Winner: Joe Ocasio

Match 2: Tina San Antonio vs Kelly Maden

Tina is riled up by the crowd and may be taking her focus off Maden. Tina takes a few good shots before landing some hard knees to Kelly. She really wants to be done with this quick but Maden is just rolling her up over and over. Maden tries a finish but Tina with the take down and catches her for three. Maden is shocked that she forgot how to count to three!

Winner: Tina San Antonio

Match 3: Antonio Christiano Zambrano (w/ Alex Cypher) vs Dezmond Cole 

Cole is about to kick him right in his soccer ball. ACZ hates this but Cole is ready to unload. He has him already set for the finish but ACZ slaps him in the back of the head and runs for cover. Cypher with a distraction allows ACZ to hit a gutbuster. Cole tries a sunset flip but ACZ transitions to a splash for two. ACZ with a hangman kick to the gut. And no where else. Boofa with a quick rana to the buckles! Kicks ti the head! Sweep! Vertical suplex. Running bicycle kick in the corner and the soccer man is put down!

Winner: Dezmond Cole

Cole needs the microphone! I just noticed Brither Greatness is still on commentary. He looks…visibly annoyed. Cole admits that six months ago, he was gonna leave Open. But then he opened up to us and started on this journey with all of us. Of course, he’s interrupted…this time by JGeorge. He’s here to bring out Max Caster - who calls Boofa stupid and high for loving Worcester and its people. Oh yeah, Max is still running for mayor of Worcester. He says Cole is a “good kid” though and offers him a spot in the Caster Campaign. Man, why does everyone want to recruit Cole to their s***ty faction. Cole says he’s rather fight him. Max hits the ring. Doesn’t he have a match later? Caster said he doesn’t fight mid carders. He tells JGeorge to kick his a** instead. Cole doesn’t care who, someone is getting beat up. Neither of them wants to fight. Max says next week, he fights JGeorge and he will CONSIDER degrading himself to the mid card if Boofa wins. Cole says Max clearly doesnt have the b***s to fight for himself. 

Match 4: Landon Hale vs Brad Baylor

Landon looking good in the opening moments, frustrating Baylor. Baylor with a tornado face buster…grounds Hale. Gutwrench gut buster! Landon looks pained as Baylor keeps working the mid section and preening. Hale with a Running Spanish fly can’t end it! Tornado corkscrew neckbreaker!!! Baylor with a knee to the face and a swinging facebuster for the win. Both guys looked good tonight. It’s so weird to hear the Baylor Brigade doing their thing. 

Winner: Brad Baylor

Match 5: Sami Diaz & Lucas Chase vs Waves & Curls (Traevon Jordan & Jaelyn Brandyn) 

Sami and Brandyn trade holds quick before Jaelyn starts flipping him around. Jordan’s in and tries to make a fool of Chase. This looks bad for W&C as Traevon is taking the heat while Jaelyn waits for the hot tag. Jordan with the tag out but Diaz and Chace stop Brandyn quick. Jordan quickly sends Diaz flying. Chace eats a flurry, a superkick and lung blower set up Waves & Curls hitting the wave check for the win.

Winners: Waves & Curls

Match 6: Patrick Saint vs Ichiban(c) (Test Your Might Challenge)

Is this for the Wrestling Open championship? No, I THINK. Saint opts to not touch fingers and runs the champ into the corner. Ah, this has ceased to be fun. Saint isn’t letting Ichiban get his stuff in. No dives, Ichiban comes running right into a cross body from the big Man. This is all Saint, laying a beatdown and running his mouth. Gory choke…Ichiban transitions to a sleeper. Saint tries to toss him off but Ichiban won’t let it go. Saint with the tosss….Ichiban trying to stay in it. Saint keeps the pressure on. He says this is his home now. Ichiban stuns him and lines up the flatliner. He hits it! Ichiban wins the Test Your Might challenge! 

Winner: Ichiban 

It’s Ray Jaz time. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. <breathe> BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Jaz says words. He calls out Pedro Dones. Pedro is out here to confront him. He says Jaz left him hanging. Jaz kicks him low, big back suplex and he wraps on the Jazmission. Ichiban out here to save Pedro! Thez press to Jaz! Shotgun! He tries the flatliner but Jaz pushes him off and heads for the back. The champ stares down the unbeaten Jaz before turning his attention to helping Dones. Pedro almost has a similar miscommunication that he had with Miracle Generation last week. Pedro still won’t play nice and just walks off. 

Match 7: Brad Hollister vs Stanley Dragowski

Brad takes a cheap shot and just starts manhandling the Polish Eagle. This is mostly the Brad showboat Stanley starts to rally. Full Nelson slam and Bacon barely kicks out! Fighting into the corner and apron and this is inevitable -> Bacon with a jackhammer and the three.

Winner: Brad Hollister

Match 8: Miracle Generation (Dustin Waller & Kylon King)(c) vs YDNB (Griffin McCoy & Ellis Taylor) 

YDNB swarms the champs early. Hard hitting back and forth match. Both teams really showing off their stuff.  YDNB is very hungry and take the champs to the limit. Dustin isolates but finally tags to for Kylon with the big fire. Miracle can’t finish off their challengers. Dustin with the double handspring cutter. Big tandem x factor powerbomb to Taylor for the win! Generally, I enjoyed this. 

Winners: Miracle Generation

Main Event: Max Caster (w/ JGeorge) vs Fancy Ryan Clancy

Max sent to the floor quickly. Max offers a scissor, Clancy accepts Max’s wrist happily. JGeorge really looks like he’s got a little more discord with Mayor Max this week. Max catches Clancy and drops him. Max tweaks the arm and starts ramming that limb into the corner. Clancy coming back hard and it looks like that discord is in full effect, JGeorge repeatedly looking like he’s going to throw in the towel on Max. 

Collision on the apron as Max looks to grab the towel…Clancy almost hits the side Russian…Clancy has him…no, reversal and Max with the rollup and grabs the ropes for the win. Clancy is mad and JGeorge tackles him. We have a full stomp out. Max grabs a chair. This is about to be real bad but Dezmond Cole runs in for the save and drives them off as the show closes out.
