  • WWE results house show Casper, WY 11-1: Dean Ambrose & Roman Reigns vs Bray & Braun

    By Luke Stricker

    – R-Truth beat Bo Dallas in about a minute, so Bo cried about it and wanted another match, saying he’d never return to Casper if he lost (safe bet on both counts).
    – Jack Swagger beat Bo.
    – Damien Sandow, Curtis Axel & Zack Ryder beat Heath Slater & The Ascension.
    – Sheamus beat Fandango.
    – New Day beat Prime Time Players.
    – Intermission.
    – Charlotte (big pop for her) & Becky beat Sasha & Tamina
    – Dolph Ziggler best Tyler Breeze (good match)
    – Dean & Roman beat Bray & Braun In a street fight (match of the night, didn’t really become a street fight until the second half of the match).

    Everyone seemed to have fun, and lots of wrestlers were great about posing for pictures and signing autographs. Good times!

  • WWE House show results Yucatan, Mexico 10-17: Adam Rose injured, Undertaker, Kane

    By Tom Griffiths

    Typical house show match, Harper & Kane started, Harper took a powder or two, when Kane gained a clear advantage a few minutes in he gave the tag to Taker, Taker did his punches in the corner spot including scaring the ref, hit old-school at the second attempt, Strowman came in, Taker took his first of two bumps during the match off a running shoulder block from Strowman, sold for a minute or two on the mat and in the corners, hit his leaping clothesline on Harper for the transition, tagged in Kane, Kane took the long straight heat, teased the hot tag twice and got it at the third attempt, Taker house of fire, Harper fed him, punch, bump, punch, bump, snake eyes, running boot, leg drop, choke slam, double choke slam attempt on Strowman, broke the grip, Strowman dumped to the outside by both, Kane follows, discuss clothesline on Taker, Harper goes to follow-up, Hell’s Gate for the finish.

    Seen worse, Taker moved well, Strowman didn’t do much nor did he bump IIRC. Assume will be the same on the other show.

    Adam Rose went out on a stretcher today and his match with Fandango was stopped abruptly.  We are told Rose is now fine now, and it was described as him getting his bell rung.

    Rusev with Summer defeated Mark Henry

    New Day (Big E and Xavier) retained against PTP and Dudley Boyz. Kofi was put through a table after the match.

    Becky Lynch and Charlotte defeated Naomi and Temena. Sasha was ringside but not in wrestling gear.

    Kind of interesting seeing Breeze work with the main roster when there was an NXT Live Event last night.

  • WWE house show report 10-11 Bloomington, IL: Reigns & Orton vs. Strowman & Wyatt

    By Kevin Shride

    1.  R-Truth pinned Tyler Breeze with a sunset flip.  Basic opener, better crowd heat that you’d guess.  Most seemed to know who Breeze was.

    2.  Jimmy Uso pinned Heath Slater with a superkick.  They started the match, then after just a couple of spots, Slater challenged Uso to a dance-off right then.  (Incidentally, the sound was the worst; everybody could barely be understood.)  Slater danced to “I’m Too Sexy”, which was typical goofy heel stuff.  Uso then brought 2 kids into the ring, and all three of them danced to  “Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)”, which the kids were hysterical doing.  The ref declared Uso the winner of the dance-off, and as soon as the kids were out, Slater hit Uso, then was immediately superkicked and pinned.  After, Slater challenged anyone in the back to another match, since he was cheated in this one.

    3.  Neville pinned Heath Slater with an immediate kick and red arrow.  Took about 30 seconds.  Slater then issued another challenge.

    4.  Mark Henry pinned Heath Slater with the World’s strongest slam.  Even quicker.  They replayed “Watch Me” and Uso and Neville came back out to dance with Henry.  Not nearly as funny as the kids.

    5.  Dolph Ziggler pinned Rusev with the Zig Zag.  Easily the best match on the show.

    6.  The New Day (Kingston and Woods with Big E at ringside) beat Prime Time Players and Dudleyz in a 3-team elimination match to retain the WWE Tag Team Title.  Woods pinned O’Neill after Big E ran in and hit the Big Ending.  Then Woods pinned Bubba Ray with a schoolboy after Big E hit Devon while Devon was getting a table.  After the match, the Dudleyz 3-D’ed Woods through the table.

    7.  Charlotte & Becky Lynch beat Tamina & Naomi with Sasha Banks at ringside.  I guess they figure Sasha doesn’t need the work as much as the other two.  Charlotte pinned Tamina with the running rolling cutter.

    8.  Ryback beat Kevin Owens by DQ, so Owens retains the Intercontinental Title.  Owens was DQ’ed for poking Ryback in the eyes.  Seriously?  I guess Roddy Piper would have been DQ’ed in every match.  A low blow would at least be more in line with a DQ.

    9.  Roman Reigns & Randy Orton beat Bray Wyatt & Braun Strowman when Reigns pinned Wyatt with a spear after an Orton RKO.  Perfectly fine match.  They didn’t let Strowman do much, but 

  • WWE Portland, ME house show results 10-4: Roman Reigns vs Bray Wyatt

    Submitted by Kyle Poissonnier

    Cesaro Defeated the Miz. – Match took a while to begin with the Miz jumping out of the ring for 5 minutes or so.  Miz took a few moves very awkwardly and didnt make Cesaro look all that good.  Cesaro eventually hit the neutralizer for the win.  

    Fandango defeated Heath Slater.  Would have been a bathroom break if not for wanting to see Maine’s own Fandango.  Slater kept stalling to start, as soon as he jumped in the ring he tripped on the top rope and fandango pinned him, took a nice round of applause from the audience and left.  No match really.  

    Braun Strowman defeated Jack Swagger with his choke out submission.  Pretty good match they actually let Swagger get in some offense on Strowman who up until now has been booked as a superman.

    Lucha Dragons defeated Ascension and Los Matadores in a triple threat tag match.  Fun match, lots of action.  Just nothing too great here.  

    Natalya defeated Sasha Banks with the Sharp Shooter.  Portland loved both girls.  Great reactions. 

    R – Truth defeated Adam Rose.  Rose actually got a lot of cheers for his new gimmick.  He was rather funny and challenged Truth to a dance contest that ended when truth kicked Rose for the victory.  

    Dean Ambrose Defeated Luke Harper, Good lengthy match.  Ambrose looked great.  

    Roman Reigns defeated Bray Wyatt in a NO DQ Match.  Good reaction for both men.  Funny at house shows how different the reaction is for reigns.  Strowman interrupted and then Ambrose came out for the save.  Match ended with Reigns putting Wyatt through a table with a power bomb and win. 

    Overall, decent house show but the attendance is definitely something that couldn’t be ignored.   

  • WWE Bangor, ME, house show results (10-3): Roman Reigns vs Bray Wyatt

    Submitted by Jon Alba, Sports Anchor for ABC7/Fox22

    Cesaro vs. Miz

    Cesaro and Miz kicked us off with Miz doing a schtick about not wanting to take his sunglasses off until the crowd shut up, delaying the match about 3-4 minutes. Cesaro even went and sat in the crowd waiting for Miz to take the sunglasses off. Eventually did, and they put on a decent starting match with them teasing the swing a few times. Cesaro got his hands on Miz’s glasses and wrestled with them on for a little bit, and ended up hitting the swing into the Neutralizer for the win. 8-10 minutes or so.

    Heath Slater vs. Fandango

    Heath Slater came out and Fandango followed him. Fandango wins with a quick roll-up about two minutes into the match, if that. Slater left in shock not believing he lost that quickly. Crowd didn’t care much for this.

    Jack Swagger vs. Braun Strowman

    Swagger was out next, and the lights went dark and Braun Strowman appeared in the ring. This one went about 3.5-4 minutes, with Strowman passing Swagger out. He did not hit his slam, instead going right to the sleeper.

    Lucha Dragons vs. Los Matadores vs. The Ascension in a triple-threat tag match

    The Ascension actually got a decent response from the locals, but Lucha Dragons were most over. OK match, with almost all the action centered around Lucha Dragons, and more specifically, Kalisto. The Matadores kept teasing El Torito wasn’t there and were egging on the crowd about it, because they apparently don’t like him anymore. Eventually, “Bad to the Bone” hit over the loudspeakers, and Torito came out to a big pop. He distracted the Matadores, and Kalisto picked up the pinfall win after his finisher over one of them. Crowd was into the finish, but match was really long (probably 11 minutes or longer). People are talking about reports of a Matadores getting in a scuffle with a fan, but I did not see such.

    Natalya vs. Sasha Banks

    Sasha getting a nice response. Natalya may have gotten the biggest pop of the night, and was SUPER over. She even posted about it on her Instagram after the show, seeming to be surprised by how big of a pop she received. They put on a good match, with Sasha playing the chicken-shit heel well. Nattie picked up the win with The Sharpshooter about 7-8 minutes in.

    Dean Ambrose vs. Luke Harper

    Good match between the two as expected, went probably about 10 minutes or so. Very physical, lots of false finishes. The two did a flexing showdown in the middle of the match, where they tried to see who had bigger muscles. A little strange for these two. Finish saw Ambrose pick up momentum after turning a superkick into a clothesline off the ropes, and then going off the ropes again and locking Harper in Dirty Deeds. Ambrose was very over as well.

    Adam Rose vs. R-Truth

    R-Truth came out next doing his thing, but Adam Rose interrupted with the Party Pooper gimmick. He had the most heat of anyone, though it seemed like a lot of the casual fans in the audience didn’t even know who he was until he announced himself as Adam Rose. He and the crowd shouted “You suck” at one another, and he did so in the tune of R-Truth’s theme song. They did a quick little sequence, before Rose rolled out and told Truth he could dance better than him. He started to dance, then R-Truth went to follow, but Rose attacked him as he started. This match went another minute or so, before Truth hit his finisher for the win. 

    King Barrett vs. Ryback

    Ryback and Barrett were out next, with Ryback getting a very big response from the audience as well (kid-friendly). This one went about 6-7 minutes, with Ryback picking up the win after Barrett missed The Bull-hammer. He did hit Wasteland, which Ryback kicked out of. Ryback hits the Meathook and Shell-Shocked for the win.

    Roman Reigns vs. Bray Wyatt street fight

    Main event was a very physical one between Reigns and Wyatt (No DQ). A few minutes in, they broke out the singapore cane, which at some point in the far corner it seemed (out of my view), Wyatt’s hand got sliced open pretty hard. A lot of dirtsheets used tweets of mine that noted his head got busted open too, but I’m not sure if it was all that bad or if it was just his hand from my angle. His hand was gushing blood, definitely a very deep cut.

    They continued the match for a couple minutes, before Reigns went down and they stopped it so doctors could tend to Wyatt. The crowd began booing, and once he got taped up, Wyatt grabbed the microphone and belittled them for booing him while he was getting taped up. Strowman would eventually come out to assist Wyatt, before Ambrose hit the ring making the save. The two of them took out Strowman, before Reigns set up Wyatt for the spear for the win.

    All in all, decent show given most of the “A” crew was in NYC. Fans went home happy. 

  • TNA Salem, VA house show results (10-3): Ethan Carter, Matt Hardy, Drew Galloway

    Submitted by Chris Cawley

    – First match was gut check match between two “local” guys. Shawn Shultz went over on bigger guy didn’t catch his name. Not a great match and neither guy were local.

    – Mr Anderson over Tyrus: a lot of prematch shenanigans. Anderson tried to get heat by teasing the Funkasaurus and dancing. Finish came with a blatant low blow and sarcastic ref counting 3 super fast.

    – Gail Kim beat Awesome Kong via DQ. Solid stuff from these 2 as usual. Finish came when Kong grabbed ref by throat for chokeslam and Kong was DQ’d.

    – Earl Hebner HOF induction was next. It was really weird for this to be happening here. Earl is from Richmond and they made is seem like Richmond was “right down the road”. Billy Corgan came out for the presentation. Billy and Earl mentioned Dusty Rhodes a lot.

    – Bobby Roode over Eli Drake. Typical match. A lot of pre match mic work by Drake. Roode went over clean and afterwards shared a beer with Earl Hebner.

    – Kurt Angle over Eric Young. Nothing crazy or over the top. Good matchup. Angle went over clean with Angle slam.

    – The Wolves over Jesse Godderz and Andrew Everett. Probably longest match of the night. Only tag match on the card. Nothing too memorable. Wolves went over clean.

    – TNA Champion Ethan Carter went over Matt Hardy and Drew Galloway. Tyrus was at ringside for match. After match, EC3 got on mic and said those 2 weren’t going to make it to Bound For Glory and ordered Tyrus to help. Out came Jeff Hardy with a chair to even the odds. They laid EC3 on table, Galloway did a swanton, but the table didn’t break. They then laid him on the table again and Matt splashed EC3 through table to send the fans home happy.

  • WWE 9-26 Cleveland house show results: Roman Reigns & Dean Ambrose vs. Wyatts, Fast Lane announcement

    Submitted by Brandon Howard

    – They announced they return to Cleveland for the Fast Lane PPV in February.

    – Neville beat Stardust with a 450 splash.

    – Kalisto & Sin Cara beat Ascension when Sin Cara pinned Viktor after a swanton. Decent match. Ascension were the least over act of the two house shows I saw this weekend.

    – Jimmy Uso beat Adam Rose. Rose came out in a vest and glasses and cut a promo, attempting to stop the show. The referee rang the bell regardless. Uso superkicked him immediately and hit the splash off the top for the finish.

    – Jack Swagger beat Miz with the ankle lock. Miz cut a promo first acting like a face in his hometown, but quickly turned back heel. 

    – Street fight: Randy Orton beat Sheamus. They used a Singapore cane. A table spot for a false finish. Orton got the pin with the RKO. Solid match. Went probably just under 20 minutes.

    0 Dolph Ziggler beat Rusev. Best match of the night. They went somewhere over 15 minutes, lots of near falls, Summer Rae hitting Ziggler with the high heel for a false finish. Rusev’s execution and presence were excellent. I was most impressed with his performance over anybody else I saw on this show or the Toronto show the night before with the Cena tour.

    – Roman Reigns & Dean Ambrose beat Bray Wyatt & Braun Strowman. Reigns pinned Wyatt after the spear for the finish. Strowman was protected as monster who doesn’t bump. In doing so, he looked fine, not out of place. Pops for Reigns and Ambrose I thought were close to equal, though there were audible screams from women when Reigns tagged in for the first time. Reigns was not booed at all.

    The Toronto show the night before with the Cena tour was a far better show.
