  • House of Hardcore results: Rhino vs Rob Van Dam, Balls Mahoney tribute

    The show kicks off with the roster around the ring, along with some original ECW talent, such as Tommy Dreamer, RVD,Rhino, and Shane Douglas in the ring. They pay their respects to Balls Mahoney. They play “Big Balls” and the crowd sings along.

    SoCal Val is your ring announcer and host for the night. She brings out Ricky Steamboat. Ricky puts over the ECW Arena and its fans. Vik Dalishus comes out and gets a ton of heat for thinking the opening ceremony was for Ricky. Vik tried to clothesline Ricky but Ricky fights back and chops him a lot.

    … And we have finally have a match… a ladies match! Jade defeated Thea Trinidad with a package piledriver in about 10 minutes. Jade was the heel here.

    Action Ortiz and Vik Dalishus are out. Vik says he doesn’t want to fight after getting assaulted by Ricky Steamboat, so Eddie Kingston comes out as a replacement. Their opponents are Team Tremendous. Lots of flips and dives from Team Tremendous here. Team Tremendous get the win the super blockbuster or whatever it’s called on Action Ortiz.

    Billy Gunn vs Bull Dempsey is out next. Crowd is split 50/50 on this one. Billy won with the Fameasser in around 6 minutes. Billy takes the mic after and puts over Bull and the WWE Performance Center.. until they are assaulted by… Kevin Thorn?!?! Kevin beats them down until XPac makes the save. XPac does his kicks and gives Kevin a bronco buster, giving a nose bleed. Bull, Billy, and XPac all do the suck it taunt.

    Tony Nese defeated Alex Reynolds and Chris Dickinson in a three way dance. Tony first eliminated Alex and then Chris a few minutes later. This was a strong contender for match of the night.

    Pepper Parks and Cherry Bomb are out. Cherry introduces her new bodyguard, who I didn’t catch the name of. Tommy Dreamer comes out to a big pop. Cherry tries to interfere midway through the match, so Tommy brings out Mickie James! Mickie takes out Cherry. Pepper Parks gets the win a few minutes later with his feet on the ropes.

    Intermission. 3 matches left. First half was awesome!

    Brian Cage defeated Sami Callihan. Sami Callihan was more over, probably because this is CZW territory. Brian Cage wins after multiple buckle bombs and then his finisher. Match of the night.

    The Killer Elite Squad defeated Chris Hero & Colt Cabana to retain the GHC Tag Team Championships. Chris and Colt were very over, and no one cared about KES. KES retained after pinning Hero with their tag finisher.

    Main event time, Rhino vs Rob Van Dam. Rhino out first to a big pop. Next is Rob Van Dam who comes out to A HUGE POP, with the whole crowd singing “Walk” by Pantera. Dueling “VOTE FOR RHINO / WHOLE FUCKIN SHOW!” chants. RVD won after putting Rhino through a table and then hitting the 5 Star Frog Splash. They shook hands after… and then Enter Sandman hits! Crowd sings along as Sandman hosts a beer bash with the audience, RVD, Rhino, and Tommy Dreamer. Rhino cuts a promo saying he loves playing heel and says sorry to a fan he shoved earlier.

    Tommy gets on the mic and says that House of Hardcore will be hosting shows on a monthly basis and they will be returning to the 2300 in September. Sandman puts a beer in the center of the ring for Balls Mahoney. Big Balls plays through the arena and everyone goes home happy.

    Great show, a lot better than what I was expecting.

  • MysterioMania results: Bobby Lashley & Rey Mysterio vs MVP & Ricky Banderas

    Preshow: Engranaje Jack defeats Límite with a roll up while he has the legs in ropes. Both are local wrestlers. It was fine.

    Hugo does a promo, thanks the crowd and says the event is possible because two guys from Antofagasta (city of the north of Chile) contacted him.

    Santana Garrett defeats Taya with a small package for became the first women’s champion in Wrestling SuperStar. Good match. Taya was heel and was with a wrestler of Argentina for gain heat.

    Robbie E makes a promo saying that he is Mister Saco Wea (is a chilean way to say some like bag of rocks). He is super over. Robbie has to participate in a 20 man battle royal with chileanwrestlers for a cup. The winner was Twiggy eliminating last Robbie E. Mister Saco Wea was almost the whole match out of the ring making a really fun show. The winner of cup can cash it for a chance for the Chile’s Championshisp. It was fine, but some long.

    Gladiator Angel and HellSpawn (both from Chile) defeats the tag team champions, Eddie Edwards and Pentagón Jr. when Angel pinned Edwards after a death valley driver of HellSpawn and a diving splash. Pentagón was the replace of Davey Richards. Pentagón hits really hard and they make much better work than the chileans.

    Apocalipsis defeats León Apolo when Apolo take out the mask of Apocalipsis and retain the LCW Championshisp. Worst match of the night. Boring match.

    They announced next show on August 7 with Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, Ivelisse, Drago, Mr. Anderson, Mr. 450 and others. The crowd is very happy with the announce, in special with Jeff Hardy.

    Alex Hero vs Carlito ended in doble count out. Carlito was over and the chilean Hero was booed. Hero is tiny and the crowd don’t bought his attacks. Second worst match. Twiggy appears with the cup, but challenges Hero for August.

    Konnan appears and Hugo give an award for his career. Very short segment.

    Matt Hardy defeats Johnny Mundo with Twist of Fate. Moments before the referee was knocked and can’t make the count for Mundo, when he applies the End of the World. Hardy invites his wife and son to ring. It was good, but they can do some much better.

    In main event Bobby Lashley and Rey Mysterio defeats MVP and Ricky Banderas. Mysterio hits the 619 in the heels and a splash in Banderas, meanwhile Lashley uses the Spear on MVP. MVP was a good heel. Mysterio was super over.

    It was an ok show, but nothing outstanding happens in the matches. The booking was so-so, Hugo has to improve in that. The crowd was very active, big pops for Robbie E, Carlito, Hardy and Mysterio.
