ALL IN is 8 days away and we've got Tony and Ian! OC vs. KOR starts us off. Long headscissors by KOR and OR just lollygags out. OC avoids an armdrag by anticipation and gets a headlock. BACK AND FORTH SUPLEXES for a 9 on the floor! KOR ankle lock wins it! Nigel tells Will in the medical room that Will has the chance to do what no Brit could do - win the World title in Wembley! 

Erica Leigh returns to eat a beating with Tiara James against Divine Dominion. They destroy James with Birds offense and win with their chokeslam. Perry-Swerve recap airs and Perry challenges him for Glasgow. Claudio vs. Danny is up. YAY DANNY'S PROMO AIRS IN FULL! Tony talks about Claudio walking from the Atlanta airport to his gym. Dragon tamer into a front choke! Giant swing but the corner uppercut is met with a basement busaiku knee! HE WANTS A NEUTRALIZER BUT CLAUDIO SNARES THE KNEE! RNC AND THE NEUTRALIZER TO CLAUDIO GETS 2.5! Danny spits on him so Claudio does the giant swing on the bad leg and then a sharpshooter and then a cool uppercut against the rope with a snapmare into a pin before Claudio wins with an ankle lock!

Nigel vs. KOR and Mox vs. Claudio is up on Dynamite! Hurt Syndicate and Moriarty are a team against a trio of goobers. Border City Stretch wins it. ST talks shit and wants any trio and THE BANG BANG GANG is here! BBC leads to "I'M GONNA SPLIT YOUR ASS! BBC UNTIL YOU DIE!" Shane runs over Colten, the skinny one. Jay beats Carlie with the bladerunner. Jay hypes up the trios gauntlet at ALL IN and says he, his pants and his boys are ready!

ROH Death Before Dishonor 2026 - Bandido vs. Nick Wayne for the title

 

MyAEW is being wonky on Chrome, but working on Firefox - and also Brawl in the Ballpark is coming to MyAEW Sunday! Ian and Caprice run the card down and it feels like Zayda should win the TV Title. Viva Van and VertVixen vs. Aminata and Mina Shirakawa is up with the worst possible crowd shot to start. Handshake from Mina and we get a chest bump from Viva Van for Aminata.

Viva Van does the chocolate kisses spot to Queen. CHOCOLATE KISSES TO VIVA! Aminata runs wind on everyone and a double stomp off the top gets 2 for Queen on Viva. Mina and Queen win it. Fun match. Maya World is here to represent THE BIGGEST NETWORK IN WRESTLING HISTORY! And then she cuts a stilted NXT or ECW Tiffany promo on Willow. ELP vs. Adam Brooks is up and should be fun. E-L-P is a catchy theme. 

Nice forearm>punch exchange and Brooks is just a fantastic wrestler to see live - hard hits. Ropewalk rana by ELP! Corner suplex gets 2 for Brooks. Ian talks about the Loose Ledge name basically meaning he's the man. Draping knee hits for Brooks, but ELP gets the E-L-P splash for the win. Nice hype vid for Athena-Hazuki. Komander vs. AR Fox vs. Soleil is up! I don't think I've seen Soleil before, so this should be fun. Oh Soleil is just Sidney Akeem in a mask - well hey, smart move. Fox hits a somersault stomp on the apron to Soleil and then flip dives off the apron to Komander! Fox avoids the ropewalk SSP by Komander but Komander spikes him on a DDT! The Play-in match is going to determine who replaces Kingston on Collision. DOUBLE BACKFLIP CUTTER BY SOLEIL and Komander beats him to win. 

Cage and Hechi are out to face Bustah and the Brain/Oliver and Price. Rocky silly bullshit at the announce table while Hechi does cool shit in the ring. Cage and Hechi hit Oliver with corner chops and Hechi spikes Price with his finish. 6-man tag titles are up and they seemingly accidentally give the Lethal Twist the Outrunners entrance.

Outrunners come out and they're perfect in ROH and a showcase of how you can't teach work ethic and the benefit of being willing to do whatever - because their being Substitute Boys led to the chemistry with Dalton being evident and them getting signed because you can't teach work ethic. Shotty prevents the SOB elbow and Blake MOCKS THEM. Lethal hits the elbow and Lee hits a frog splash, but Blake misses with a something and kind of gets a legdrop for 2.5 when a save happens to help cover it. INJECTION TO DALTON and Blake gets a springboard uppercut and uses the ropes to win! Lethal has now held every men's title! 

Kingdom chats with Sammy and Beast about working together. 4-WAY TAG TITLE time...or maybe not as SDL faces Deonna for the women's Pure title. SDL/Virtuosa chants hit! SDL uses up 2 rope breaks and her one punch. THIRD ROPE BREAK IS DONE for a Fujiwara. SDL uses a chair and does the Angle spot and Deonna USES HER PUNCH and a tiger driver gets 2. FUJIWARA IS ON but SDL rolls through! Venus is on and SDL taps - excellent match with the stip aiding it and Ian telling the tale to make it better. Her niece I guess is brought to her - that's cute. ROH Women's TV Title is up. 

Velvet and Marina go at it and Mox talks about racoons and Toronto racoons. Marina throws Zayda into Mox and he makes sure to say his hands were where they should be. And also Mox's chair is broken and he just gives it to someone. Tower of doom by Marina! Zayda throws herself into the pile to break up a pin and gets 2. BELT SHOT BY SKYE BUT MARINA GETS AN RNC! BELT SHOT SAVES BY SKYE but the dropdown gets 2 into a half crab and then a kneebar! VELVET FROG SPLASH WINS IT!? Okay then!

Shibata vs. Moriarty is up! Nice recap of the Nigel angle setting the stage here. Standing Kimura into a kneebar by Shibata and Lee uses up a rope break! Shibata gets a short kick off a handshake and flying mares him into the ropes after an elbow strike. FIGURE FOUR BY SHIBATA! Lee uses his rope breaks up but gets the Bret cradle to win it. Dark Order bickering before the tag titles are up. Caprice singing Mistico's theme is fantastic. Boy what a great show this has been for what couldn't have cost much to get into. Kingdom works with Sammy and Dorada dives on them. Spanish Fly wins it and retains it for SKY TEAM! Wow!

The face teams save Mistico from a beating from the DCF. The replacement match for the C3 is up. Priest vs Garcia is up! Priest works the leg and Danny goes for a running move, but eats a LARIAT! Upkicks save Danny, but a figure four is locked on by Priest! Dragontamer wins it and STP hypes up Moariarty. Fight without honor for the TV Title is up with a killer hype video.

Lio has a Terry Funk puncho and Sabu pants on for the ECW Arena! MARY POPPINS DIVE BY LIO! Lio wants a Van Terminator or an Air Sabu and eats a run-up lariat! Tope by Lio after he gets sliced up!

BLACK THUNDER BOMB GETS 2! BOWENS GRABS THE BOX! REDRUM IS ON! SPRINGBOARD 450 THROUGH A TABLE COVERED IN GLASS ON THE FLOOR! 1!!! FOREARMS APLENTY! Lio eats the barb wire chair in the corner and the burning hammer neckbreaker wins it! ANDRETTI GETS A SINGLES TITLE!

Bandido vs. Nick Wayne hype vid. Nick does cocky heel shit on the floor but eats a springboard tornillo by Bandido! One arm gorilla priss into the frog splash for 2.9! Pop up cutter and a crucifix bomb get 2 for Wayne! Apron battle ON THE STEPS and Nick faceplants on the steps! Wayne avoids a powerbomb with a code red for 2.5! 21 PLEX INTO A POISON RANA AND THE PRODIGYPLEX GETS 1! ANOTHER GETS 2.9! WAYNE'S WORLD IS AVOIDED INTO THE X KNEE AND THE 21 PLEX GETS 2.9! Low blow and WAYNE'S WORLD! PRODIGY PLEX BUT THE PIN IS TURNED INTO A CRUCIFIX TO RETAIN! WOW!

GODDAMN! That was one of Bandido's best World title matches ever! Women's title time and Hazuki gets a fast start, but MIT is here to help Athena. Apron powerslam to Hazuki! Athena goes for an avalanche electric chair, but she eats an avalanche poison rana! SHOTGUN DROPKICK OFF THE TOP BY HAZUKI! Hazuki pops her up top and waves at her for a codebreaker for 2. HAZUKI CROSSFACE! Suplex on the ramp by Hazuki! MIT knocks the ref down and they beat down Hazuki. She takes them out and Athena gets a tombstone after...something goes wonky for 2. O Face wins and ends the five hour show. Lordy there is no good reason for ROH shows to be this long. Still, this was the best TK-era ROH show yet overall. Cool post-match bow from Athena and Hazuki.

AEW Dynamite 8-19-26

 

ALL IN is in theory heating up and it's a bit cold before the show. Crazy week for me though as Darian's family seemingly wants to take the house away from me and move me into a condo while also stringing me along on rent. Ospreay and United Empire vs. DCF is up with FUCK DON CALLIS chants without him even out there. Cage and Ospreay have a slow exchange that would be faster 6 years ago for Cage. HENARE VS. ARCHER IN HOSS WARFARE! Henare lands a punch/chop combo in the corner before Archer hits a series of overhands! Cage and Archer work over Akira with gut shots during the break. Cage does the bicep curl fallway slam WITH ROCKY BEING FANTASTIC!

Henare avoids a blackout and gets a deadlift German. Akira hits a billion strikes and flips off Lance only to fall to a single forearm. Ospreay KOs Rocky with the hidden blade to win it. THIS RULED.

Dogs attack, Conglomeration and the trios champs save. Trios tag title open challenge-ish thing is set for ALL IN. Jonathan Cruz insults Andrade and says he's a coward and MJF IS BETTER THAN ANDRADE! And HE'D BEAT HIM IF ANDRADE WASN'T A COWARD and hey it's time for a match! Elbow and the DM wins it! Andrade calls out THE FUCKING FAKE WORLD CHAMPION and MJF can be heard and not seen...and then we see that played a video too early with him in his pool. SECOND DOM TO CRUZ!

Nigel vs. Hechi is up with nothing during the break. Or not as we get Willow vs. Mone in a promo thing. They brawl and we get a FUCK YOU, WILLOW from Mone - this was fantastic. Nigel vs. Hechi is up and he says he isn't 100% and he hasn't been for much of his career. Nigel vs. Hechi is up and Hechi works the good lack - smart, then he has zero good legs. CORNER PUNCHES BY HECHI BUT THE LONDON DUNGEON IS ON and now it's a front choke! NIGEL WINS IT!

WWE Raw 8-17-26

 

It's been a crazy day and I've been drained due to my sleep schedule getting off-track and it's tough to get it back. Drained due to the living situation just resulting in me being used. THANK GOD FOR SOLO! Solo recap from last week with the pew! Vaquer is out and wants Liv and the belt. Fatu and Jey bully Solo a bit before the break and after, Je'Von and JD are just wrestling and Cole talks about Dom and the tourney and Cass and some stuff.

Superplex into a Wagner driver is turned into a Destino and Operation dragon wins it. 

Gable vs. Rey is up and Rey EATS A FLIP GERMAN! Victory roll turned into a cradle wins it for Gable. Jacob opens the door for Roman. Good gig if you can get it. Solo gets a video package showing him getting his ass kicked and Jacob hits the death grip. Fatu gives Jimmy the black ulafala and LA Knight comes out and gets beat up too. Boy this is...just whatever. Samoan spike to Roman got a nice pop tho. Solo YEETS AND SPIKES JEY! BFT TO ROMAN and Jacob just stands around. All righty.

AEW Dynamite 8-12-26

 

Interesting week - got my ID situation sorted out with HSN and they'll just put me in a later class, which is worlds better than having to wait 90 days. Plus, it gives me an extra week to work with for the psych evaluation! Ospreay calls out Kenny for not being in Mexico BUT HE'S HERE TONIGHT EARNING HIS CHECK! Don comes out and runs down Kenny's accomplishments and says hey they're in Vegas where the company was born and he had to stab Kenny in the face! Ospreay won when Don was in his corner and Kenny beat him when he was in Kenny's corner! Davis, Doyle, and RPG Vice attack him before KENNY SAVES!

He yells him he warned up, but one upside to having your heart on your sleeve is YOU DON'T THINK and Will refuses his help. Paul, Ex, and Tony are on the call. MJF vs. Speedball vs. Nick Wayne is up BUT FIRST an Andrade Grand Slam Mexico recap. Cool back and forth by Nick and Bailey before Bailey TAPS HIM ON THE TOP OF THE HEAD AW DANG! Bailey apron pump kick and an orihara moonsault to Wayne! Bailey SSP to MJF is rolled through AND A FALCON ARROW TO WAYNE and an SSP HITS FOR 2! ProdigyPlex gets 2! Corner kick by Bailey, but MJF throws him out and MJF beats Wayne with the Fujiawara.

MJF does an Andrade fakeout and he says God isn't listening - just the Devil! Divine Dominion mocks the Birds in the Birds' Bar. Jay shockingly is STILL WRESTLING TONIGHT despite being covered up and Mick loves the Bang Bang part of the gang. White vs. Finlay is up and they have a good back and forth before a deadlift German by Jay gets 2. BladeRunner wins it after 10 kinda okay minutes. Hangman and Brodido are out and SWERVE INTERRUPTS! He says they're all truama-bonded due to him and Hanger says Swerve's done some shit but has nothing to show for it AND NOW IT'S TIME FOR RICOCHET! Ricochet tells themt l all GET TO STEPPIN.

COAST TO COAST! 2.9! Codebreaker gets 2 for Jericho. Crash Landing uranage wins it! Claudio and Pac chat us up and Mox says in fabulous Vegas, it could end for him tonight with a roll of the dice. Kris vs. Viva is up. 

Jericho vs. Knight for the TNT Title is up.

Kris beats viva and Mick chats her up and shouts out Noelle with a Kris shirt on and TK apparently announced a TBS Title match with Shida and Persephone. Persephone's siren theme is perfect and they're facing Thunder and Maya. They have a very boring match and Maya beats Shida with the blockbuster hold. Darby video and Don says there's a former International Champion that wants a title shot and it'll be Kyle vs. Takeshita and AND OKADA! Perry gets the absolute shick beaten out of him and he's beaten bloody and it's almost a ref stoppage. JACK SLAPS HIM! HE FLIPS HIM OFF! STRUGGLE PILEDRIVER BY JACK NO! SNARETRAP! BULLDOG CHOKE! HE'S OUT BUT NO! RNC IS ON!
