Tonight is Night of Champions so this review will be real quick. I had work like normal. Registered for the baby shower. Watched this. So time is of the essence people!

REPEAT! Sweet you guys!

Onto

Todd and Jeff run down the card for tonight and bring us to Pat Kelly and the Amerikan Gunz.

Christian Cole tells the Gunz to go warm up in the ring cause the Whirlwind Gentlemen are no push overs. Cole says he won’t get cuffed tonight no matter what Matt Striker says.

Cole gets cuffed. And the Gentlemen ungentlemenly attack the Amerikan Guns from behind.

Amerikan Guns vs. Whirlwind Gentlemen In a Strap Match

It’s Strap Match rules. Gotta hit all four corners to win. If you take strap off you lose.

After 5 minutes of whipping and strap based offense, I realize there is no story to this match. This is just a blow off to a one week feud. From a one week feud? From one weak feud?

And I’m Like… Gentlemen win in a basic affair.

Eric Right vs. Kevin Kross

Instead of a kid it’s a drunk.

Kross is doing CRAZY EYES! It means he is Crazy. Don’t forget Kevin your supposed to be manic!

Right wrestles such an old school style. I’m not mad at it, he is talents  and it is character based.

Kross is advantageous and grabs Grandma Rights Miracle Elixer.

And I’m Like… He decides not to drink it, and would rather get disqualified by kicking Eric in the tree of woe for more than 5 seconds.

Crash Test Cody vs. Caleb Konley

Caleb says to Cody “I’m gonna knock your good eye out of your skull”

Crash Test Cody or CTC hits a flurrie that ends in a near fall after a corner cannonball.

Lisa distracts CTC for a baseball slide by Konley.

Caleb beats on Cody and hits a bunch of moves for nearfalls that gives Cody a ‘never say die’ attitude.

Cody does this weird Crossface.

Konley kicks out of Codys finisher. They switch finishes until Caleb asserts dominance and hits a buckle bomb into the cradle shock for the win.

And I’m Like… That was a good match. Best I’ve seen out of CTC. Konley is too good.

Puke on a Wes video package.

It’s NoDQ but it is just arm locks and arm bars and stuff. The bad guys try and use a title belt. The good guys roll them up for the win.

And I’m like. Night of champions is on

Have a good one.

Opening Interview

Dj Draper was about to interview Antonio Marquez about his recent winning streak. Rob James had other plans.

James told Marquez “Not only am I better than you, I’m 6% body fat and 94% better than you.” Then Antonio was attacked from behind by Josh Price.

Price and James tell Marquez “Good luck finding a tag team partner tonight.”

We get some advertising for upcoming shows!

There ya go.  Try and support local wrestling if you can. Just don’t be like ‘dem assholes from Fargo’

Rob James comes out with Josh Price and their manager local North Dakota disc jockey Chris Tubbs. As Rob struggles to remove his Zubaz .

Dem Assholes chant “what a joke” followed up by “you’ll never get the call.” When Rob James says “go back to your farms!” They chanted “suck it.”

Problem with all this, it’s advertised as an all ages show. Dem Assholes are very cruel. They are just Poop Scootin Boogie is what they are.

James, Tubbs, and Price rip on some North Dakota sports team to get boo’s.

Marquez comes out with his tag team partner, one of the former Kings of Wrestling, Arik Cannon!

To counter Chris Tubbs the good guys bring out this Rob Ford looking dude.

Like holy shit, that’s Rob Ford right?

Antonio Marquez and Erik Cannon w/ Derrick Hanson vs. Rob James and Josh Price w/Chris Tubbs

The editing needs some work. We go from seeing Rob James trying to do a kip up, to like 30 seconds later when Marquez gets hit from behind.

Now I’m about to talk a lot about the commentary in this match. I usually only bring up commentary if it is the shits or if it’s relevant and progressing the story.

The referee is James Benson. Which should be noted because when Rob James cheated, commentators Dj Draper said this “How is James Benson able to get away with… Letting this work like this.”

Arik comes in with beautiful arm drags and a hip toss elbow combo for two. Marquez and Cannon did an assisted hurricanrana.  Dj Draper asks his co-commentator Tony Denucci how his chicken breast is. “So good I want another one, I need my protein” wow you guys. That really helps the match.

Here is some more talking as wrestling happens “Rob James gave me his selfie stick, I don’t know if it’s sterile or where it’s been” -Dj Draper “I can put it somewhere if they keep taking selfies. Can you imagine the state fair? These are worse than cancer”- Dj Draper. He then notices his mistake “I apologize to anyone with cancel but these are awful”

Marquez is doing flippy stuff but it’s so damn dangerous. Here is a photo of Antonio, Denucci says he is 20 feet in the air!

Marquez also tries to throw some kicks but they are snuggle sawft.

Here is a pin attempt. Can you see what is wrong? Remember this is not a kick out, it’s a pin.

Yep he hooked the arm. These guys are trying, it’s just… Everything about this show feels forced, it makes me respect the organic moments in wrestling more.

This beating is a long one. Tony says “Antonio is getting beat up, but this is wrestling, so that can change at any minute.”

Arik Cannon gets the hot tag and is a house of fire. He gets the crowd hype, Cannon is a treasure. He tags Marquez for what Tony calls “35 foot shooting star”.

That is scary.

And I’m Like… That was a pretty good match, once the commentary is more genuine and immersive in the product, this show will be entertaining. The self containing episodes and advertising for upcoming shows are good too.

So PPW starts with the Whirlwind Gentlemen taking “us” backstage.

I have no idea what this was about.

The show starts with

Whirlwind Gentlemen Vs. Amerikan Gunz

It was really hard to pay attention to the match. First Tony Denucci talks about how good his chicken breast is, then this.

What the hell is that? A chicken platter plate? What wrestling venue sells chicken platters.

The match is typical Whirlwind Gentlemen. Jack Manly gets beat up, hot tags, Marcel gets the W.

Amerikan Gunz take Christian Coles belt, they whip the Gentlemen.

Striker comes out and announced that next week it’s the Gunz and Gentlemen in a strap match.

Wes Brisco vs. Darin Corbin

Here are the entrances.

There is PPW lady, loving Wes.

Now my favorite red head from Minnesota.

This guy knows what’s up. This kid does not.

Last week he threatened to punch a kid, we are one step closer!

Oh no this food is so good she is sharing! Let’s hope the match is good!

So black shirt stopped eating to approve of Wes’ booty. Blue shirt is still into the food.

The crowd chants for Wes and that makes me sad. As Wes barrel rolls Corbin screeches and I smile. Corbin does a comedy spot where he hits his own head into the corner.

The ladies stopped eating the chicken.  Wes gets “extreme” says Todd Aikin as Brisco does a flying cross body.  Corbin gets himself a DQ loss but keeps the belt.

And I’m Like… That was fun and I’m so glad Wes isn’t champ. I want these ladies back every week. Like Dinner and a Movie .

Obsessed With Sleaze vs. Crash and Stash Connection

Eric Right does this thing where he gives out mustaches to kids in the crowd. This gives us the cutest creepiest kid moment.

That picture tho.

The match is really good. With Konely and Ryan you knew it would be though.

Lisa Marie is miles ahead of Christian Cole and the Cuban Assassin in managing. Her body reacts to every move. She will smirk or grimace at just the right time.

The match ends when Eric Right gets distracted by Lisa Marie. Then catches a super kick from Joey Ryan for the loss.

And I’m Like… That was a fun and entertaining match. Nothing too spectacular but it fit perfect in the show. Not much else to say but good job.

Jessy Sorensen vs. Chamberlain

Chamberlain asks to be announced as champion before the match even happens.

As Jessy comes out I start to realize what a champion he looks like. He totally carries himself with the confidence needed to be a company’s champion.

The platter  ladies do not approve of any booty in this match. It’s not long before Hammerstone interferes on Chamberlains behalf. Wes Brisco comes out to help and Striker announces a NO DQ tag match for next week.

And I’m Like… Sometimes the matches click, sometimes they don’t. Here was a time it didn’t.

This was a good night for PPW. Better than that pine box crap from last week.

Raw starts soon, so Yall have a good one and I’ll see ya later to pay more dues

Be sure to like and share and all that. Much appreciated.

AWF was a replay from last week.  So onto

Paragon Pro Wrestling. Side note, before both shows Craig Ferguson is on the commercial bumper for Celebrity Name Game.

Todd and Jeff run down our card for tonight. They are excited for the “pine box” match. We are brought to Pat Kelly to interview Hammerstone.

I was very surprised at how well Hammerstone came across. He says he is against Wes Brisco, says Wes has had great matches and is a great wrestler. “He wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for his last name. Thirty years from now, Hammerstone Jr. will be carrying the name of a legend.”

Wes comes out to Reggae music and it bothers me. He hugs PPW lady too so that’s nice.

Announcers put over how Wes’ family started Hulk Hogan in wrestling which is a bad timed reference. They even go as far as to say if it wasn’t for the Brisco family we wouldn’t have modern wrestling.

Wes Brisco vs. Hammerstone

The announcers are very into Wes, it seems like he is being vocally groomed to be champion. I am being groomed to hate leg tattoos .

They say Wes is tough because he was part of a gang. A gang with wrestling legends.

Hammerstone seems to be waiting for Wes to catch up to him when they do certain spots. Wes seems to not be natural at all. As Wes is getting counted out, he sloooooowly creeeeeps to the ring. The ref says “7”  and Wes grabs the bottom rope then stops moving. “8” pulls himself on the apron and stops moving. “9” rolls into the ring.

Hammerstone gets caught eventually and Wes sets up for the Brisco Bomb. Hammerstone’s partner Chamberlain comes out and says “Hey Wes”. Wes stops what he is doing and gets rolled up for three.

And I’m Like… I don’t know how to feel about this. It’s hard to judge wrestling ability on this show cause most of the wrestling is so basic and non-organic.

Darin Corbin vs Ethan HD

Corbin is the only PPW wrestler to hold two titles. He was an ex-tag team champion, now American Champion.

Ethan doesn’t even get an entrance. As a viewer that lets me know right quick who is winning.

Corbin makes the match enjoyable with his banter with the crowd. “I will come over there and punch your kids!”

Want further prove Corbin will win? He doesn’t kick out in time and pulls an Eva Marie . Ethan HD does a standing shooting star press for a two count.

Ref was in wrong spot for ref bump and they have to stretch to hit him.

Ethan almost wins but the ref is knocked out. The ref gets up in time for Corbin to win with a roll up and tight grab.

And I’m Like… Wrestling should follow Checkhov’s gun . Why is the ref bumped for a tights grab roll up. Ethan HD turns heel and beats up the ref and some good guys.

Kevin Kross vs Mikey O’Shea

We see a Kevin Kross video and he says a lot.

His gimmick is “I’m Manic” and he spits out lines while a dial tone plays.

• “We’ve never met, but I know you like the back of my hand”
• “When you meet me, you’ll feel like you’ve known me forever”
• “Look over your shoulder I’m never too far away.”
• “I’m the Toll Man, everyone has to pay.”

It’s like they hit record and he just rattled off would be catch phrases and the video editor was like “fuck it put em all in”. He must be laid back like Pringles.

Mikey always looks nervous to be out in the ring. He is good at taking an ass whopping though.

Kross is wrestling as his character, you can tell he is growing into it. O’Shea goes for a sunset flip and gets caught for the pin.

And I’m Like… It was how it was, it happened.

Tyshaun Prince vs. Gangrel

Cuban Assassin says the Pine Box match won’t happen cause Tyshaun is leaving. Then.

Matt Striker comes out as the new General Manager. He says Prince will be suspended if he doesn’t wrestle.

And I’m like… This was the shits. The match rules are the person who gets pinned goes to the box. They don’t say that Tyshaun doesn’t wanna wrestle and is afraid of the box until minutes before the match. The whole match is Gangrel threatening to put Tyshaun in the box, even though that wouldn’t win the match. Gangrel hits two DDT’s for the pin.

Gangrel puts the Assassin in the box?!? Prince is knocked out and Gangrel puts the wrong fucking guy in the box. Then Tyshaun hides from the box as the show ends.

I don’t get it.  It’s like the show producers saw wrestling shows but didn’t know how to tell a story. It’s just like “Welp! Here are things that have happened on wrestling shows before”

Have a good one. Like and share and stuff please.

These are shows on the CW and the POP network. We will start off with the Minnesota promotion AWF.

Even though Minnesota is home to numerous outstanding wrestlers, our independent scene is lacking. We have a few promotions, only one with TV. They didn’t even get a TV time slot, it’s paid programming and then AWF gets local businesses to advertise.

Arya Daivari starts with a promo, he says he is in Elk River , he hears he is wrestling Antonio Marquez. He says they are not in the same league, Daivari says he is the Elite Champion.
Marquez shows up just so he can shake his hand cause it is an honor and a privilege to wrestle Daivari tonight.

Daivari cuts a promo about Elk River. He points to every fan and says “Loser, Loser, Loser” he says one of the guys in the crowd is cool cause he bought a Daivari shirt.

Antonio flips into the ring and Daivari shows him up by doing a cartwheel! In the commentary booth is Dj Draper and AWF Champion Ricky Love. Ricky is talking about how much he is digging the match and it cuts to commercial mid-sentence.

This is some sort of Spanish lawyer commercial where the wrestler beats up the sound guy? Lol and this one where wrestler Udo works on cars.

We come back and the sound is still bad, like the announcers sound like pilot. Arya is known as the Elite Champion but I have not seen an Elite belt.

Antonio does a springboard cross body into a hurricanrana into a Lucha arm drag. The crowd pops huge like its the early 90’s or something.

It’s obvious Arya is miles ahead of all the other talents in this company. Marquez is 20 and not old enough to drink a Dos Equis or Corona says Dj Draper. That is kinda racist right? Antonio hits a top rope leg drop. He ends up getting a roll up on Arya for the win, as the camera focused on the rope.

And I’m Like… That match was alright. They cut to commercial at a weird time. I definitely like Ricky Love more than Bo Knowles on commentary. The show cuts to this for like 2 seconds.

No idea who these guys are, we can’t find out though. Cause it just cuts to some match in the middle.

Luke X vs. Ivan Drokovsky

Bo Knowles asks for duct tape to shut up Dj Draper. Bo is the shoot worst. Here is a little banter on this so you know where I’m coming from.

Draper: the crowd might have boo’d him when he came out cause of his country of origin, but they respect his power.

Bo: That took civil rights back to the Stone Age if you ask me.

Draper: On whose part?

Bo: Whiever just not mine.

We then hear “folks hold tight for commercial” only problem is they don’t go to commercial they wait maybe three seconds and say welcome back. The two commercial breaks we had did not get a bumper and the one time they set it up they don’t even go to commercial!! This has to be on purpose lol. Ivan wins with that suplex looking thing you saw pictured.

And I’m Like… What a weird f’n show. It started off fine, promo about match and match, commentary was good too. Then it just fell apart. I blame Bo!!!

Onto Las Vegas and back to back PPW tapings.

Jeff and Todd bring us to the show. They shoot over to Pat Kelly and the tag team champions Murder By Muscle.

The other team is about to be introduced, and Murder By Muscle attack the other team. They do a long beat down to build to a hot tag. The tag takes off but the crowd stays grounded, they are not making any noise.  MBM wins when they both hit their finisher.

Who ever the guy in the middle is, he says  wrestlers are tools and used q-tips. He says go eat at Voodoo Donuts.

Suede Thompson vs. Espiritu

Suede comes out to Turn Down For What and I’m Turnt up for Suede. During Suedes entrance he does this sweet dance that I had to try. You lean back and dangle your arms then shimmy! His shirt says “your favorite wrestlers favorite wrestler” now he can be known as “that blogger you reads favorite wrestler on PPW”

The match is alright, Suede yells “turn down” the crowd responds with “for what?” Suede hits a 619 which the announcers call a 702. Suede hits a 450 for a win.

And I’m Like… Turnt up cause I don’t wanna be turned down for what? This was just fun. Lots of fun.

Crash Test Cody vs. The Challenger

Before the match starts there is a video package recapping the title events of last week, they end up showing the whole title match where Sorenson retained.

What is up with CTC’s eye? Is it like dead?

The match was very boring, Chalenger ended up winning with a back to belly suplex.

And I’m Like… Challenger did not even get an entrance and he won. That is strange. I don’t have much else to say because not much were represented.

This match seems like it should be a big deal. It was actually just used to start a feud between Tyshaun Prince and Gangrel. Tyshauns team wins and Gangrel decided to jump Prince from behind and try and put him in a “pine box” coffin.

This ends the first episode

And I’m Like… Thank God Suede is in the show. Some of these guys aren’t my tea. They have characters and good entrances, the wrestling is just so sub-par.

Tyshaun Prince vs. Eric Wright

Eric could not take Tyshaun off his feet, Wright went for his grandmas tonic, he couldn’t get it though and got caught in this.

And I’m Like… There is no reason Eric should continually lose. He is practically the most complete guy on the show.

Fruit Loop vs. Hammerstone

It’s a comedy match. Hammerstone plays games for a smidgen of time then wrecks the loop

And I’m Like… The only good part of this was that there was a wrestler named Fruit Loop that tries to give their opponents fruit loop cereal necklaces.

This match is just so Gangrel can win and say the words “Fangin and Bangin” like four times. I like to write about positive stuff, sometimes it is very hard.

I also forgot to take pictures of Caleb Konely vs. Mike O’Shea, my wife says O’Shea is an amateur that don’t know how to get into a ring lol. Caleb got distrated by his own manager Lisa Marie (Tara, Victoria)

Jesse Sorensen (c) vs Joey Ryan

And I’m Like… Super upset this went like 8 minutes, it seems like they only give their main event 10 minute no matter what the Main is. Quality over quantity PPW. You have an hour like NXT no reason the show should not be compelling.

That took a bit longer than expected but bad wrestling does that to you. It’s fun to watch just cause it’s like, how do people think this is good? There are moments don’t get me wrong. Overall though? Product needs work. Production and music is spot on though.

-Yall have a good one
