  • WWE NXT house show report 9-18 Austin, TX

    By Travis Banks
      I attended the first ever NXT house show in Austin earlier this evening. The event was held in the Austin Music Hall, which hosted a TNA house show in 2011. The venue will be torn down at the end of the year, so NXT will be one of the final shows to hit Austin Music Hall. First up was the VIP Meet and Greet. Basically you were given two ticket options when they went on sale: $100 guaranteed seats with a superstar meet and greet, or $75 General Admission. The VIP was literally just an autograph and picture opportunity with Bull Dempsey. Not exactly worth the extra cash. That being said, Bull was AWESOME, as he took the time to interact with every fan and seemed happy to be there.  – Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady def. Blake & Murphy (with Alexa Bliss) and Jordan & Gable. Cass comes out in a huge cowboy hat while he and Enzo do their intro. Gable was also a huge hit with the crowd. Post match, the Dubstep Cowboys and Alexa stare down Enzo and Cass. – Apollo Crews def. Tye Dillinger. Crowd chanted “Uhaa” to start but was chanting “Apollo” by the end – Bull Dempsey def. Solomon Crowe –  NXT Women’s Title Match: Bayley def. Dana Brooke with the Belly to Bayley. Afterwards, Bayley poses for pictures with kids at ringside, letting them hold the title. – Intermission. Only NXT merch is sold at the stand, including the awesome NXT Texas shirt. Pricey at $30 but cool. – Dusty Rhodes Memorial Tag Tournament: Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson def. NXT Tag Champs The Vaudevillains in a shocking non-title upset. The Vaudevillains try to shake hands after the match but Dawson and Wilder refused, cheap shot the champs and ran away. This was taped and should air on NXT TV at some point. – Emma def. Carmella via submission – Samoa Joe def. Tyler Breeze with the Coquina Clutch. Crowd chants “This is Awesome” before the bell even rings… good match somewhat ruined by stupid crowd chants. Really the only time throughout the night the crowd acted too “smarky.” Counting TNA house shows, Joe wins his first match in Austin, going 0-3 in TNA house shows in the city. – Main Event, NXT Title: Finn Balor def. Baron Corbin with the Coup des Gras. Finn came out in a plain black leather jacket and was assaulted by Corbin before the bell. Fun match. They botched a DDT at one point but covered nicely by rolling out of the ring while some people try to start a “You Fucked Up” chant but fail. Afterwards, Finn grabs the mic and says he’ll return to Austin. End of show. Most of the wrestlers signed autographs and took pictures outside as they were leaving. Overall, one of the best WWE live events I’ve attended. Everyone was having a blast and the wrestlers were all excited to be there.

  • WWE house show report 9-18 Montreal: Reigns & Ambrose vs. Wyatt & Harper; Owens vs. Cesaro; Patterson appears

    By Pat Laprade

    WWE house show at the Bell Center in Montreal.  Neville beat Stardust with a 450 splash.  Good match and good reaction to Neville.  Team PCB b Team Bad with Natalya as guest referee.  PCB got a better babyface reaction than Neville. Charlotte pin Tamina with the natural selection.  After the match, Banks complained that it was a fast count, Tamina attacked Natalya from behind. Three on one until Natalya did a comeback and the heels took the powder. Nice pop for Natalya. Good match with Charlotte being the most over.  Dolph Ziggler beat Rusev w/Summer Rae Ziggler got a huge reaction coming to the ring with a Montreal Canadiens jersey with number 69 on the back (clever). Best match on the card so far. A lot, and I mean a lot of near falls. Two “This is awesome” chants. These chants used to mean something. And don’t get me wrong. It’s a good match live. But not awesome. Summer attacked Ziggler with one of her high heel shoes, referee saw it and she got kicked out. Ziggler won with the Zig Zag.  New Day beat Dudley Boyz and Prime Time Players when Kofi pin Buh Buh with a small package. After the match, the Dudleys put Woods through a table. Dudleys had the new best pop of the night, which is going to be Owens at the end of the day anyway.  Ryback beat Seth Rollins by DQ when Rollins used a chair outside the ring. Until then the match was good but the finish felt flat. After the match, Rollins cut a promo saying he’s the best. He went to attack Ryback with a chair but Ryback ducked and hit the Shell Shocked on Rollins.  Intermission R-Truth beat The Miz. The Miz spoke in French saying he hated poutine, the Montreal Canadiens and said he was magnificent. They had a dance off and Truth won with the Lie Detector. Very short match.  Pat Patterson came to the ring and acted as the ring announcer, instead of Jojo, for the following match, between Cesaro and Kevin Owens.  Why is Owens in the semi-main instead of the main-event with one match left is mind boggling. If Rollins and Ryback was the main-event I’d understand. But I can’t say I can now. Owens was the babyface here and Cesaro the heel.  Owens won with the pop up power bomb. Maybe not better than Ziggler and Rusev but as good for sure. Owens took the mic and in French thanked everyone, said that it meant the world to him to wrestle in front of his wife and parents at home and that this Sunday, he would continue the bloodline of Quebecers having success in WWE by winning the IC title against Ryback.  Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose beat Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper The lights went off and Braun Stowman was in the ring. After putting Reigns to sleep, Ambrose took the upper hand and Reigns woke up and superman punched Harper. Wyatt went for the Sister Abigail but Ambrose reversed it and applied the Dirty Deeds for the win. The Kevin Owens’ t-shirt with the Montreal Canadiens colours and KO logo sold like hot cakes. By intermission there were no larges and XLs left. Also, even if he’s not on the card, they were selling “Suplex City Montreal” t-shirts.  Best matchTie between Ziggler vs Rusev and Owens vs Cesaro Biggest popOwensDudley BoyzTie between Ziggler and PCB Biggest heatThe MizRusevCesaro  Rollins, New Day and the Wyatts (during their entrance) were heels but liked by the crowd.

  • TNA house show report 9-17 York, PA

    By Joshua Sites

    I was at the TNA house show tonight at the York Fairgrounds in York, PA.

    Results:

    Tyrus b. DJZ by pinfall in a nothing match. Nobody knew Tyrus by his TNA name. Everyone was yelling Brodus and Funkasaurus.

    The Wolves b. Abyss/Manik by pinfall in a decent match. Wolves were kind of over.

    Gail Kim b. Awesome Kong by pinfall. Kong doesn’t look like she’s moving around too well. After the match, she went into the empty ringside seats and started throwing chairs like she was in Japan. Except there probably would have been people in the seats in Japan.

    Tommy Dreamer b. Eli Drake by pinfall. Dreamer came out to his old ECW music and he got the biggest pop of the night for anyone not named Hardy. Nobody knew who Drake was. They brawled in the crowd and Dreamer had little kids slap Drake and dump popcorn on him.

    Bobby Roode b. Mr. Anderson and Drew Galloway in a 3-way. I believe Roode pinned Anderson. This was the best match of the night. Roode and Galloway came across as big stars and deserve much more than this. Anderson held his own in the match too. This was the 4th match of the night that featured nut shots by the way. Gotta go for the easy heat.

    EC3 w/Tyrus & Jeff Hardy b. Matt Hardy by pinfall. EC3 and Jeff Hardy played up the personal assistant thing with EC3 telling Jeff not to do something and he did it anyway. Jeff started “EC3 sucks” chants, etc. EC3 pinned Matt via inside cradle after a Tyrus distraction and Jeff hitting Tyrus on the back with a chair. Then the Hardys put EC3 through a table via a Matt splash off the top rope to send the crowd home happy. The only thing physical Jeff did was the chairshot and a few punches.

    Thanks,

  • WWE: 9-17 NXT house show in Houston

    by Scott Williams

     1. Enzo & Big Cass vs Chad Gable & Jordan. The ring isn’t lit for shit. Enzo pinned Gable after a rocket launcher.

    2. Bull Dempsey pinned Tye Dillinger with a flying teabag. Comedy match.

    3. Apollo Crews beat Solomon Crowe. Crews did some nice spots.

    4. Samoa Joe vs Baron Corbin. “Joe’s gonna kill you” chant to start. Lackluster offense by Corbin. Joe won by KO/submission with the clutch.

    Intermission

    5. Dana Brooke pinned Carmela. Not good. Was wishing the ring was even more poorly lit.

    6. Tag title: Vaudevillains beat Blake & Murphy. Best match so far. Vaudevillains are fantastic.

    7. NXT women’s: Bayley beat Emna. Bayley got THE pop of the night. Seeing her live, her charisma and ability to connect with fans is practically palpable.

    8. Main, NXT title: Finn Balor beat Tyler Breeze. Good back and forth, with NXT & the overused Awesome chants late in the bout. After, Balor took selfies with Breeze’s phone.

    Lighting got better later in the show. Overall, a fun event, definitely a thumbs up.

  • WWE 9/13 Jonesboro, AR, house show results: Roman Reigns vs. Bray Wyatt, Seth Rollins vs. Dean Ambrose

    Submitted by Adam Kirby

    WWE ran a pretty decent show in Jonesboro, AR tonight. Crowd not as large as the last time I came to town for a show back in 2012 for Punk v Ryback.

    R-Truth over Bo Dallas

    Truth won after countering a sunset flip reversal.

    Curtis Axel and Damien Sandow over the Ascension

    Axel hit the facebuster Viktor for the win By far the worst efforts I’ve ever seen from the face team. Big bummer when Axel hit what must be the worst dropkick in his career. Goofy match.

    Natalya over Alicia Foxx

    Long heat segment, Natalya never getting more than one offensive move in before getting cut off. Easily best match so far.

    WWE Champion/U.S. Champion Seth Rollins over Dean Ambrose

    Rollins won after hitting an exposed turnbuckle shot and a Pedigree. Great match, tons of moves, sick Falcon Arrow, Rollins argues with the crowd and a child in the front row over whether or not he’s a sissy.  

    WWE Tag Team Champions New Day Big E and Xavier Woods over the Primetime Players

    New Day won after Xavier Woods hits Titus O’Neil with a DDT and a big second rope legdrop. New Day were hilarious as always. Xavier Woods wore Big E’s singlet after claiming the airline lost his luggage. He adopted some of E’s moveset including a nice belly to belly, an attempt at the running splash, and the body block. Referred to himself as Big Woods.

    Cesaro over Kevin Owens

    Cesaro won after reversing a popup powerbomb into a hurricanrana. Smart match, not too crazy as to overshadow the main, but a back and forth with big moves and Owens preventing Cesaro from ever hitting the big swing.

    Roman Reigns over Bray Wyatt in a streetfight

    Lots of big shots back and forth at the beginning. Both guys were over and definitely brought a different feel to the main event. Bray Wyatt worked over Reigns with kendo stick shots and throwing a chair at his head. Hits a Uranage through a table, loses control to a series of Reigns punches and slaps before taking a powerbomb through a table. Luke Harper breaks up the pin, hits a big superkick, only to eat superman punches to the glee of the crowd.

    Lights out, Braun Strowman appears and chokes out Reigns until chants for Ambrose lead to the save and comeback. Reigns throws Wyatt headfirst through a chair in the corner and follows up with a Spear while someone near by freaks out and screams “DESTROOOY HIMMMM.” Big spectacle match sends the crowd home happy.

  • WWE 9/13 Tupelo, MS, house show results: Randy Orton vs. Sheamus

    Submitted by Chris Dempsey

    Dolph Ziggler def. Rusev

    Really strong opener, good back and forth match. Summer Rae was ejected at one point after hitting Dolph with her shoe and then Ziggler hit the Zig Zag for the win.

    Neville def. Adam Rose

    Neville won with the 450 Splash

    Jimmy Uso def. Heath Slater

    Slater started off the match yelling at Jimmy about how he’s nothing but an announcer now and that he wants a dance contest. Heath dances to “I’m Too Sexy” to huge boos which leads to Jimmy dancing to “Watch Me Whip” and even Ref Chad Patton got in on the fun. Jimmy Superkicks Slater for the win. Slater then says he wants another opponent which leads to…

    Jack Swagger def. Heath Slater

    Swagger won with the Ankle Lock. Once again Slater wants another opponent so then we have…

    Mark Henry def. Heath Slater

    Henry won with the World’s Strongest Slam. 

    I-C Champion Ryback def. The Big Show by DQ 

    Team PCB def. Team BAD

    Charlotte hit Natural Selection on Tamina

    The Dudley Boyz def. Los Matadores and the Lucha Dragons

    Dudleys won with a 3D on a Matador. After the match, the Matadores were distracted by “Bad to the Bone” when El Torito came out and beat up on the Matadores. That led to Bubba putting a Matador through a table. 

    Randy Orton def. Sheamus

    Orton won after hitting the RKO

  • ROH 9/12 Chicago house show results: Young Bucks vs. Future Shock, NJPW show announcement

    Submitted by Case Lowe

    Mike Bennett & Matt Taven def. Curt Stallion & Brad Kevins

    The Kingdom took one of them out with a Spike Piledriver to the floor before pinning the other one with another Spike Piledriver, this one in the ring. 

    Dalton Castle def. Beer City Bruiser with a Bridging German Suplex

    Crowd was really invested in Castle. Lots of interference from Silas Young and The Boys on the outside. 

    Michael Elgin def. Watanabe

    This felt like a G1 match. The crowd wasn’t into this until Elgin hit his Top Rope Falcon Arrow towards the finish. They reacted to his power spots much more than his strikes. Crazy match. Both guys kicked out of stuff at one. Watanabe looked good and Elgin looked great. 

    BJ Whitmer, who was out on commentary, told the crowd that Adam Page was hurt and couldn’t wrestle. It took him almost five minutes to get this out. The crowd kept chanting “Shut up BJ” and “BJ Sucks”, much like fans chant “New Day Sucks”. Page came out and brawled with Mark Briscoe before Jay made the save. The Decade bailed and out came Romantic Touch. The Briscoes put him through a table. 

    Bobby Fish def. Roderick Strong

    Excellent match. Lots of smart limb work. 

    – Intermission

    Silas Young def. Cheeseburger, Will Ferrera, and Samson Walker

    The crowd loved Cheeseburger. 

    Jay Briscoe def. Cedric Alexander

    Briscoe hit a Roaring Elbow. Very good. Briscoe has the best punches in wrestling. Alexander attacked Stokely Hathaway after the match, leading to Moose making the save. As Moose was on his way to the back, Jay Lethal attacked him. 

    ACH def. Matt Sydal with a 450 Splash to tie up the Best of 5 series at 1-1

    Both guys worked super hard and delivered a really solid match. 

    ROH Champion/TV Champion Jay Lethal def. Moose

    Moose, coming in less than 100%, lost after getting hit with Lethal Injection. The whole match was worked around Moose’s head and him not being able to compete at full strength. Lethal has become an excellent heel. 

    – Kevin Kelly announced that ROH and New Japan will host a show in Chicago Ridge in May 2016. 

    Young Bucks def. Future Shock (Adam Cole/Kyle O’Reilly)

    Bucks won after a Meltzer Driver. Crazy match. Lots of Superkicks, obviously. Young Bucks were the most over act on the show. 

    Young Bucks, Futureshock, and Bobby Fish sent the fans home happy after superkicking The Kingdom. It appears Cole has officially turned. Tremendous show from ROH,

    Then health said not in a million years no one can do that 3 times in a row so out comes mark Henry. Looks at him and gives him the hall of pain slam

    Winner: Mark Henry

    Match 3 Neville vs Adam rose Good match Neville was hot all through the match with the flips and they look awesome in person great match Adam rose changed his entire gimmick I think this works for him well he reminds me of a old Shane Douglas good match should be on tv
    Neville did a basic flip for he win no red arrow

    Winner: Neville

    Match 4 Ryback vs Big Show for the IC title it was a good match a lot of big show slaps and ryback feed me more chants good back and forth match was not boring at all but ryback retains after big show used a chair for the DQ

Sasha banks Tamina vs Becky lynch and Charlotte awesome match Becky is definetly coming along tons of energy and really gets involved with the crowd Tamina was getting worked big time these girls are in there twenties and they where running circles around her but anyways Charlotte hit her figure four and it was over

    Winner: Charlotte and Becky Lynch

    Match 6 The Dudleys vs Lucha Dragons vs Los Matadors Awesome match a lot of high risk maneuvers that cover the ring as well as my personal favorite get the tables chant the Dudleys where way over just he Lucha Dragons. Kalisto hit a flip on primo for the win After the match Los Matadors picked on the bull pushing him around until the The dudleys put epico through the tables and the crowd went crazy

    Winner: The Lucha Dragons

    Main Event

    Randy Orton vs Sheamus typical back and forth  between them until Randy hit the RKO out of nowhere decent match that could have been on raw but it was good the crowd went home happy randy went around to everyone and tag hands and thanked everyone.

    Winner: Randy Orton

    Submitted by Matthew Hardaway

    Triple H had a promo on the videoscope pretending he was in Huntsville. Total babyface stuff.

    Dolph Ziggler vs Rusev w/ Summer Rae

    Rusev and Summer had the Bulgarian flag with Rusev’s face superimposed on it. Please tell Bryan that Ziggler slowed down on his ten punches in the corner. Teased count out early. Fun opener. Had all the spots to get the crowd into it. Near falls and double KOs and all. Rusev was practically weeping at USA chants. Summer was ejected for hitting Dolph WITH HER STILETTO HEEL and then Dolph hit the Zig Zag for the win. I have to admit, as an old school WCW fan, I marked out for the high heel gimmick. 

    Neville vs Adam Rose

    No music for Rose. He was wearing short tights and cut a promo about pooping on our parties since we pooped on his. Neville won with a 450 instead of the spinning shooting star press so to hell with him I guess. 

    They did a trivia game advertising the network. What popped out of the box after the Macho Man married Miss Elizabeth? It was a snake.

    Heath Slater vs Jimmy Uso

    Slater is pretty good at being a sleazy heel. He cut a promo one minute into the match about how great he was and how Jimmy went from being a “great competitor” to an announcer. Then he challenged him to a dance off. They hit “I’M TOO SEXY” by RIGHT SAID FRED for Heath. Then Jimmy DID THE NAE NAE. THEN MIKE CHIODA DID THE NAE NAE DANCE WITH HIM. It was beyond great and drew a gigantic pop. So of course it was nothing close to their TV. Uso hit a super kick immediately for the win. Slater eventually challenged anyone else and Jack Swagger came out and tapped him to an ankle lock after a few amateur throws. Then Slater challenged anyone else to come out. Mark Henry came out and slammed him immediately for the win even after Slater told him he would usually make an example of him. Way too enjoyable for a house show.

    They aired a Daniel Bryan promo for Connor’s Cure.

    WWE I-C Champion Ryback vs. Big Show

    These are some BIG GUYS as Larry Z might say. “Feed me less,” the Big Show says to us while patting his belly. They did the old championship match intros with both guys in the ring. Show worked so hard. He even took the Flair press slam of the turnbuckle. Ryback won by dq when Show used a chair to the ribs. Ryback did a meat hook to send us to intermission happy. 

    Jojo and a guy named Greg advertised autographed pictures. 

    Intermission 

    Tamina and and Sasha Banks w/ Naomi vs Becky and Charlotte

    Charlotte won.

    Lucha Dragons vs El Matadores vs The Dudley Boyz

    Bubba helped the Dragons with a move that lead to a two count. Come on. Lots of weird double teams. Nothing too spectacular but kinda smart as it pertains to bumps. Pretty fun three way. El Torito ran out with “Bad to the Bone” playing to lead to a 3D and win. Then the Dragons helped them put a Matador through a table. Fun stuff.

    They showed an awesome package advertising Sting vs Rollins built around Sting’s old title wins. They should shown it on TV but I bet they won’t. 

    Sheamus vs Randy Orton 

    Usual chants towards Sheamus. He worked the t-shirt throwing gimmick like a pro. They put the lights down for atmosphere. First time they’ve did that here for a house show. RKO tease immediately. Great match for a house show. Sheamus took a great bump into the steps before he took over. Orton won with an RKO after dodging a brogue kick.
