PLAY BY PLAY

Zack Sabre Jr. & Kosei Fujita VS SANADA & Taichi!

The Front Man is preparing for his IWGP World Heavyweight Championship opportunity, and what better way than to face two men he’s very familiar with? Will ZSJ and the Ichiban Young Punk take down The Cold Skull & The Holy Emperor? Or will ZSJ lose to a rival and an old friend?

The teams sort out and, eventually, it is a reunion of the Dangerous Tekkers! The fans cheer with the bell, and ZSJ circles with Taichi. They tie up, are in a deadlock at center, but Taichi powers ZSJ to ropes. Taichi lets off slowly, but with pats on the shoulders. The fans applaud the clean break and the two reset. ZSJ and Taichi approach, and Taichi BOOTS! ZSJ says okay, and he BOOTS back! Taichi BOOTS again, ZSJ rebounds to BOOT! Taichi rebounds to BOOT! ZSJ rebounds but Taichi BOOTS! ZSJ UPPERCUTS! ZSJ tries to steal Ax Bomber, but Taichi gets under to DANGEROUS- NO, ZSJ fights the saido!

ZSJ wrenches, Taichi avoids the Pele but ZSJ avoids the buzzsaw! The fans cheer as the two stand back. They know each other well, so ZSJ gives a bow of respect and tags out to Fujita. The fans rally, Taichi tags Sanada, and Sanada circles with Fujita. They tie up, Sanada powers Fujita right to ropes, but Fujita turns things around. The ref calls the break, Fujita lets off, to CHOP! Sanada storms up, he ties up with Fujita again, and Sanada puts Fujita on ropes this time. The ref calls a break, and Sanada lets off, only for Fujita to CHOP! The fans applaud, Fujita kicks low and headlocks, but Sanada powers up and out.

Fujita comes back to CHOP! And CHOP! And CHOP! Fujita eggs Sanada on, so Sanada dropkicks a leg! Sanada whips, Fujita ducks ‘n’ dodges, and GAMANGIRIS!

The fans applaud while Sanada grimaces. ZSJ brings Sanada up, Sanada breaks free, but ZSJ RAMS him low. ZSJ headlocks, Sanada powers out, but ZSJ turns hip toss into a backslide!

Sanada rolls through but ZSJ catches him, NECK TWIST! SNAP HALF HATCH! Basement DROPKICK! The fans cheer while ZSJ looms over Sanada. ZSJ drags Sanada up, but Sanada fights the scoop!

Cover, SANADA & TAICHI WIN!!

Winners: Sanada & Taichi, by pinfall

A stunner in Sendai! The Cold Skull gets the pin on the G1 Climax Champion! Then, should Zack Sabre Jr. succeed in Kobe, does that mean Sanada will be next in line? Wait, Sanada gets the mic to speak, and in English! “Hey, Zack. Do you remember last time? You beat me in my hometown. So next month, Royal Quest in London, I will beat you in your hometown!” ZSJ says challenge accepted! The fans cheer, because title or no title, we see these rivals add another chapter to their story! Will the Cold Skull potentially become The Gold Skull once again? Or will ZSJ show The Mighty Don’t Kneel, no matter where they are?

 

10 Man Tag: Los Ingobernables de Japon VS The United Empire!

Monday was rough for Tetsuya Naito, Bushi, Hiromu Takahashi, Shingo Takagi & Yota Tsuji as they all lost to The United Empire. However, we now know Destruction in Kobe will be even bigger! Takagi will challenge Henare for the NEVER Openweight Championship on the same night Naito defends his IWGP World Heavyweight Championship against Great-O-Khan! Will LIJ rise back up? Or will they be conquered again but all at once?

Wait, Yota is wearing his green lucha mask again. He did that when teaming with just Bushi at some point. As such, he has Abe-san introduce him as, uh, “Torato,” is it? All the entrance attire is put aside, and Cobb stares down “Torato,” though perhaps a bit confused by the antics. Cobb tells the team he is stepping up, so they oblige. LIJ fist bump, and the fans applaud as Yota steps up. The fans rally with the bell, and Yota has a lot more pep being this Torato character. Cobb isn’t amused, so he knees Yota low! Cobb whips, Yota ducks ‘n’ dodges to then flip and RANA! The fans fire up and Cobb goes to a corner.

Yota runs in, but Cobb stops the Monkey Flip to put Yota up top. Yota BOOTS and FLYING ARM-DRAGS! Yota RAMS Cobb, runs, ducks ‘n’ whips, but Cobb RANAS?! And then he FLYING SHOULDER TACKLES! Cover, TWO! Cobb goes after the mask! The ref reprimands, so Cobb ELBOWS Yota in the head! Tag to Callum Newman, and the Empire double whips Yota. They run Yota over, then Cobb sits him up to YANK the mask away! Callum PENALTY KICKS, Cobb GACHIMUCHI MOONSAULTS! Cover, TWO! Yota stays in this, and Yota covers his face even though we’ve seen it. Cobb THROWS the mask away! But the ref catches it and the fans cheer!

Callum stands Yota up, fires forearms, and he CLUBS Yota. The ref thinks about putting on the mask, but no, it smells in there. Callum CLUBS Yota, whips him, but Yota reverses. Callum ducks ‘n’ dodges ‘n’ builds speed, only for Hiromu to trip him up! Yota basement dropkicks Callum, then LIJ blasts The Empire! The fans rally as the brawl goes on outside. Yota drags Callum up, snapmares, and stomps him. Yota paces while Callum rises, and Yota bumps Callum off buckles. Tag to Bushi and he stomps Callum. Bushi whips, then dropkicks the legs out! Cover, TWO! Callum hobbles, Takagi gets a shot in, and Bushi stomps Callum.

Tag to Hiromu and the fans fire up. Hiromu CHOPS Callum, CHOPS again, then whips corner to corner. Hiromu runs up to LARIAT, then snapmare and basement DROPKICK! The fans fire up more as Hiromu ties up the legs, modified FIGURE FOUR! Callum endures but Khan storms in to stomp Hiromu! Naito grabs Khan by the ponytail and TOSSES him out! The ref reprimands everybody, and Hiromu snapmares Callum. Tag to Takagi and LIJ split the wishbone! Takagi drags Callum up, reels him in, and suplexes high and hard! Cover, TWO! Callum toughs it out but Takagi keeps him from the Empire.

The Face of Fury runs Takagi over, BLASTS Naito & Yota, but Bushi & Hiromu slide in. Hiromu CHOPS, he and Bushi double whip, but Henare breaks the line to DOUBLE LARIAT! The fans fire up and Henare runs at Takagi. Takagi BOOTS! Henare still LARIATS!

Henare fireman’s carries, RUNNING SAMOAN DROP! Cover, TWO! The fans fire up and Henare snarls. Henare half nelsons, but Takagi fights the full nelson! Takagi fires elbows, Henare ducks and ROCKS Takagi! Henare runs, RAMS Takagi, but Takagi rebounds! They RAM shoulders, neither falls, and the fans fire up! Takagi and Henare fire forearms back and forth! The fans rally up, Takagi JABS, JABS, and CHOPS! Henare KICKS! Henare KICKS again, but Takagi stays up! Henare roars, KCIKS, but Takagi blocks! So Henare ELBOWS and HEADBUTTS! And RUGBY KICKS! But Takagi’s back up to LARIAT!

The fans fire up with Takagi’s “OI! OI! OI!” Takagi runs in but Henare ELBOWS! And FLYING CHUCK! Takagi stays up, runs, but Henare LARIATS first! Takagi’s right back up! PUMPING BOMBER! Henare and Takagi crawl, hot tags to Khan and Naito! Naito ELBOWS, Khan fireman’s carries for a takeover! Kahn avoids the basement dropkick and goes for a leg! Naito slips free, but runs into a SAYANAGI! Cover, TWO! Khan poses with hands behind his back as Naito stands. Mongolian Chop! Mongolian Chop! Mongolian fake and UPPERCUT! Khan says he’s too smart. Khan puts Naito in a corner, to sit on- NO, Naito slips out!

Khan kicks, Naito blocks and puts him in ropes! DRAPING NECKBREAKER! Naito drags Khan up, mocks the “Ohh…!” and NECKBREAKER! Naito poses, the fans fire up, and then Naito mocks Khan’s pose. Cover, TWO! The fans rally up and Naito brings Khan around. Naito fires forearms, whips, but Khan reverses. Naito reverses back to TORNADO- NO! Khan stops the DDT, but Naito fights the bearhug! Khan ducks the enzigiri, then clamps on a SLEEPER! Naito flails, but it becomes an IRON CLAW! ELIMI- NO! Naito arm-drags free! Atomic drop! ENZIGIRI! Khan staggers, Naito runs up, but into a clinch! BELLY2BELLY!

The fans fire up while both men are down, and we hit 10 minutes. Khan crawls now, hot tag to Jakob Austin Young! Jakob fires hands, whips, but Naito reverses. Jakob dropkicks a leg, grabs it, and DRAGON SCREWS! Jakob keeps moving, SHOTGUN! Jakob kips up and fires up, then he runs in at the corner to CHOP! Jakob turns Naito for a NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Jakob calls in the Empire and they BLAST the LIJ corner! Cobb whips Naito to a corner, then he sends Jakob in to forearm smash! Callum ENZIGIRIS from the outside! Henare LARIATS, then feeds Naito to the ATHLETIC PLEX!

Jakob adds a basement dropkick! Cover, LIJ breaks it up! The fans fire up, but the Empire TOSSES LIJ back out! There’s more brawling on the outside, and someone gets sent into railing hard! Henare beats up on Takagi while Jakob ENZIGIRIS Naito! Cravat and JAKOB’S- NO, Naito shoves Jakob into the corner first! Yota SPLASHES! Hiromu LARIATS! Bushi ELBOWS! Feed to a DOUBLE SUPERKICK! Rolling jackknife bridge! Khan breaks it! Bushi TOSSES Khan, there’s more brawling, and Bushi DIVES! Down goes Khan! Naito and Hiromu get Jakob up, ASSISTED TORNADO DDT! And then PLUMA BLANCA!! Jakob taps, LIJ wins!

Winner: Los Ingobernables de Japon, by submission

Naito holds until he’s satisfied, and there’s still action going on outside the ring! The ref gets everyone to stand down, and while Cobb is taunting Yota with the NJPW World TV Championship, the fans are chanting “O-KHAN! O-KHAN!” It seems the KOPW Champion is also the People’s Champion now! Naito is amused, but we still have 18 days left. Will the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion prove he is still tranquilo? Or will all of NJPW soon belong to the United Empire?

 

IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship: DOUKI w/ Just5Guys VS Taiji Ishimori!

Japones Del Mal may have lost to The Bone Soldier in Best of the Super Juniors, but he was the one to take this title from El Desperado back on July 5th! Will Douki still have the gold on this Road to Destruction? Or will Taiji make sure #ItsReborn?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who’s truly the Best of the Super Juniors!

The bell rings and the fans fire up for “DOUKI! DOUKI!” Douki and Taiji circle, tie up, and Douki waistlocks. Taiji wrenches, wristlocks, and he keeps Douki from ropes. Douki rolls, wrenches back, and wristlocks. Taiji rolls, slips through, wrenches and wristlocks in return. But Douki reaches back to jump and flying-mare! Then he trips Taiji, keeps moving, and jumps the dropdown to headlock. Taiji powers out to headlock back, but Douki powers out to hurdle. Taiji leaps over, but Douki gets around and waistlocks. Taiji switches, Douki elbows free, but Taiji keeps him from running. Douki British escapes, mule kicks, but Taiji ducks the jump kick!

Just5Guys protest but Taiji puts the chair around Douki’s arm, to SLAM the arm into the POST!

The fans are torn while Douki clutches his arm, but Taiji leaves Douki behind while Red Shoes checks. Taiji undoes the blue buckle pad, the Bullet Club Special is in play. Red Shoes starts the ring count, Douki shakes out the arm and the fans rally. Douki is still down at 10 of 20, but J5G coach him up. Douki stands at 15 and rolls in! The fans cheer, but Taiji storms over with a grin on his face. Taiji stomps Douki’s arm, then drags him up to wrench that arm. Taiji wrangles Douki with a top wristlock, and he digs his knee into the arm. Douki kicks around, Taiji wrenches and hammerlocks, to RAM Douki into bare buckles!

Red Shoes reprimands, Taiji shrugs, and the fans applaud. Douki clutches the arm while Taiji paces. Taiji drags Douki up, but Douki fires shots! Taiji fires back, but Douki fires more! Taiji CLUBS Douki down, and the fans rally up again. Taiji looms over Douki, kicks him, stomps him, but Douki roars and rises! Douki CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS, but Taiji just BOOTS the bad arm! Douki drops to his knees, but Taiji drags him up. Taiji wrenches and whips Douki to then WRING the arm out! Taiji clamps on with a COBRA CLUTCH! Douki endures, fights around, and reaches out, only for Taiji to drag him back!

Taiji ripcords, RAMS, and COBRA CLUTCH, into a takedown! Taiji has a modified triangle hold now! Douki endures, the fans rally, and J5G coach Douki to keep fighting. Douki kicks forward to the ROPEBREAK! The fans cheer, Red Shoes counts, and Taiji lets go at 4. Douki clutches his arm again, but Taiji grins as he stands back up. Taiji drags Douki to his feet, gut wrenches, but Douki slips free to roll Taiji up! TWO! Douki drags Taiji up, but Taiji wrenches out to CODE BREAKER on the arm!

Winner: Douki, by pinfall (still IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion)

Both men brought out every move in their arsenal, but in the end, Douki managed to outdraw The Bone Soldier! Will Taiji have to fight up from the bottom if he wants to be back on top of the Junior Heavyweight Division?

As for Douki, Red Shoes brings him the belt, and Douki stands tall with his friends. Douki then gets the mic to say, “I just faced the strongest challenger in Taiji Ishimori, and I WON!” The fans cheer that, but then Douki says he knew that half of them were cheering for Taiji, though. Douki knows he isn’t like Taiji. Douki is younger, doesn’t have the career resumé like Taiji, but today, here in Sendai, in Sun Plaza Hall, where Douki made his NJPW debut, he won. The fans cheer that, too.

Douki reviews that just this year alone, he defeated Hiromu, Desperado, and now Ishimori. “No one can complain anymore! I am the strongest Junior Heavyweight Champion!” The fans cheer that, Douki drops the mic, and the streamers fly! And then, Sanada & Taichi lift Douki up onto their shoulders in celebration! J5G then exit so Douki can soak up the spotlight, but YOSHINOBU KANEMARU jumps into the ring! He was on commentary the whole time, and this is why! He attacks Douki from behind! Then he grabs the belt to CLOBBER Douki with it!! The fans boo, but The Heel Master brings in chairs!

Kanemaru puts one chair on Douki’s leg, then CON-CHAIR-TOS it!! Douki writhes, the fans boo, but now Kanemaru grabs the mic! “Oi, you flimsy champion! It’s not your division yet!” Kanemaru then claims the boos from the fans are in agreement that Douki sucks. The fans boo more because that’s not true. But then Kanemaru tells Douki, “Your next challenger… is me.” Well as if that wasn’t obvious. But then Kanemaru stomps away on Douki! He even throws the belt down onto Douki! J5G returns so Kanemaru bails out, the damage done. Kanemaru really is a scumbag, doing this to an old friend. But will Douki get even with him soon enough?


My Thoughts:

Another great event for NJPW on this Road to Destruction tour. It’s a good thing I decided to cover ZSJ & Fujita VS Sanada & Taichi, otherwise I would’ve missed out on that great upset and the news of Sanada wanting to face ZSJ for Royal Quest 4. It will still be a great match even if there’s no title on the line, but I would love if they decided to shake things up here. ZSJ could win in Kobe, return home as THE guy in NJPW, and then have an epic against one of his best rivals to give that London crowd something to remember that night for. ZSJ would get his first defense in, and he could give the former champion (presumably Naito) a rematch for WrestleKingdom or something.

I figured House of Torture would cheat to win so that’s why I skipped it. And with that win, I would think House of Torture’s fate is sealed, they’re going to lose the NEVER Openweight Six Man Tag Team Championship match on Saturday the 14th. And given that, I would think Tanahashi VS Evil happens as a 1v1 match for Kobe to settle this “President Ace VS King of Darkness” story. And then I probably should’ve covered Chaos VS War Dogs, because something happened to take Jake Lee out early, and then Gabe Kidd took the pin because he was perhaps legitimately rattled. But they did a big brawl to kinda muddy the math ahead of Yoshi-Hashi VS David Finlay for the IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship in Kobe.

Really fun 10 Man Tag, and I figured LIJ would win this to keep even with The Empire. The energy really died when Jakob got in, though, he’s perhaps a little too new for the fans to really care about. Plus, it basically signaled the end of the match. But it sounds like even with Ren Narita getting in on things last time, Cobb and Yota will run it back. This also gives some momentum to Takagi ahead of battling Henare for the NEVER Openweight Championship, but there’s a lot of time still for the math to go any which way.

And then awesome stuff with the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship. That was an awesome match, and a part of me is surprised Douki retained. Though, as I’ve said before, this is all NJPW appreciating and rewarding the hard work and loyalty Douki has shown over the years, and the fans also really like Douki, too. But then, with Kanemaru on commentary, I just felt something was gonna happen. I thought he’d try to help Taiji cheat but no, he let Taiji do this alone. And then Kanemaru goes and attacks Douki, setting up a match between them. Kanemaru tried to take the title off other former friend, Desperado, but failed, so who knows how this one works.

Also, it feels like the Junior Heavyweight Division is spinning its wheels, as we’ve already had plenty of J5G VS House of Torture, what with Douki VS Sho having also already happened. Master Wato AND Yoh are both out with injuries, I am sure they would’ve been more involved otherwise. And the Junior Heavyweights in LIJ (Hiromu, Bushi and even Titan) are busy doing other things, so unless they do crossover with AEW or CMLL, I’m not sure who else is supposed to be a challenger past this point. Though, such a crossover would be fun given WrestleDynasty is coming.

My Score: 8.9/10

Hangman Page is here!

Mexico City fires up for the Blackhat Cowboy as he makes his way into Arena Mexico for the first time! Hangman has a mic to say, “Hola! Mi nombre es Hangman.” And he asks they excuse his Espanol, it isn’t the best. But Hangman knows that like most White people, he’ll do his best. His familia used to grow tobacco, and they were hard workers. And they had employees who were hard workers, from right here in Mexico City. Those men were also like family! He is thankful that the people of Mexico have invited AEW into their home tonight! The fans cheer, and Hangman thanks them for the collaboration of AEW & CMLL. This is the best pro-wrestling in the world!

Hangman continues by saying that he also wants to make it known about AEW World Champion, Jon Moxley, that while Hangman is not wrestling tonight, and that he is not allowed ringside later tonight for the main event… He will find Moxley after! And Excalibur apologizes, the last part definitely can’t be translated for the sake of the broadcast. The fans still cheer Hangman on, they wanna see that #CowboyS*it. Hangman adds that once again, he is thankful for letting them be here in Arena Mexico. Now, let the action begin! The fans cheer as Hangman heads out, will The Cowboy get his hands on The Maniac before the night is over?

 

14 Man Tag: Hechicero, Volador Jr, Dax Harwood & The Don Callis Family VS Adam Cole, Brody King, Daniel Garcia, Bandido, Templario, Atlantis Sr. & Atlantis Jr!

Well, they always say, “Card subject to change.” Cash Wheeler is not able to make it, but Lance Archer and “The Predator,” Volador Jr, take his place! Then on the other side, the OG Atlantis jumps in! Will things only end up crazier to start off Grand Slam?

As Dax Harwood & Stokely Hathaway make their way out, #BigStoke has a mic and he has them cut the music. Stokely has some good news and some bad news. Bad news: Due to circumstances beyond his control, Cash Wheeler cannot be here tonight. That’s the bad news. The good news is, one half of FTR is here tonight in the great Dax the Ax! And hey, Stokely has been working on his Espanol all day. “Grassy ass, thank you!” Still messed it up… But with that, the rest of Team Rudo make their way out, starting with Volador, followed by the Don Callis y Hechicero.

On the other side, ROH World Champion Bandido leads the way for his team, followed by Templario and the Atlantis father and son. Then Brody King and Daniel Garcia follow, saving TNT Champion, Adam Cole, for last! The fans join in for the “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” These massive teams sort out, and Bandido steps up against the Alpha, Konosuke Takeshita. The fans fire up behind the Most Wanted while he and Konosuke circle. They approach, Konosuke trips Bandido and things speed up. Bandido stays low, then hurdles, but Konosuke leaps over. Bandido dodges Konosuke, then he aims his finger gun!

The fans cheer as Konosuke says he has his eyes on Bandido, too. Konosuke kicks low, whips, but Bandido reverses. Bandido scoops right to a torture rack! X KNEE blocked, and Konosuke spins Bandido to back suplex. Bandido lands out, Konosuke mule kicks. Konosuke runs, but into a RANA! The fans fire up while Konosuke bails out.

Dax carries Garcia off the corner but Garcia fights free to DECK Dax! Garcia whips but Dax reverses and wrenches to short arm LARIAT! Garcia bails out so Atlantis Junior jumps in.

Junior slingshots, runs, ducks ‘n’ dodges, then SLINGBLADES! Cover, TWO!

Atlantis Junior tags Templario and the fans cheer again. Junior & Temp roll Dax into a wheelbarrow and Temp goes up to MISSILE DROPKICK Dax into the WHEELBARROW GERMAN! Temp covers, TWO!

Volador bails out, and we get a TEMPLAROONI! Templario then handsprings to SASUKE SPECIAL! Direct hit on Volador, and now that lets Brody King step in.

Cole keeps going, he LARIATS again! Kyle wobbles, Cole tries a third time, but he runs into a SNAP HALF ‘N’ HALF! Kyle grins and soaks up heat, but here comes Atlantis Senior! The fans fire up as Senior ducks ‘n’ dodges and TACKLES Kyle! The fans fire up as Atlantis rains down fists! Kyle goes to a corner, Atlantis fires off more shots, then puts him in the other corner.

Garcia BOOTS Kyle up and out!

The fans fire up as now Cole and the team gather together, and the fans cheer as all seven raise their hands! Bandido’s team is in control while Grand Slam goes picture in picture.

The ref has the team sort out and Bandido stays in. He goes out to fetch Dax, but Dax and Volador mug him! The rest of Bandido’s team goes to help him and it is a huge brawl! All 14 men are throwing hands, and Brody even DUMPS Kyle into the crowd! Archer puts Garcia in the ring so they’re legal now. Archer climbs up a corner to rain down fists!

Hechicero tags in and he fires hands on Garcia! The ref counts, Hechi stops at quatro and powers up his alchemy. Then he drags Garcia up, only for Garcia to fire hands!

Kazuchika Okada w/ Don Callis VS Mark Briscoe!

The Rainmaker has a Winner Takes All match with long-time rival, Kenny Omega, but he crossed a line! Not only has Okada joined Don Callis just to stick it to The Cleaner, but Okada hospitalized Omega with a brutal attack to the stomach! Will the Sussex County Chicken get a semblance of revenge on Omega’s behalf? Or will Okada make it rain in Arena Mexico?

The fans are fired up for Okada while he and Briscoe get face to face. The ref has them back away to their corners, then the bell rings. Okada and Briscoe step up again, then Briscoe shoves Okada! Okada bails out and the fans boo. Briscoe waits on Okada while commentary tells Callis he and Okada committed the most despicable thing in all of wrestling. Callis of course says it was the most shrewd tactical move in the history of wrestling. Okada takes his time returning into the ring, and then he circles with Briscoe. They tie up and are in a deadlock. They go around, Okada puts Briscoe on the ropes, but he lets off slowly.

Okada fakes the chop, and pats Briscoe on the shoulders. The fans are torn, but Briscoe kicks Okada and TOSSES him! The fans cheer as Briscoe builds speed, but Okada steps aside so Briscoe can’t dive. Briscoe gives chase, though, and they go around the outside. They slide back in, and Okada CLOBBERS Briscoe! The fans are torn as Okada CLUBS away. Okada fires forearms, storms up to stomp Briscoe in the corner, and then ELBOWS him! The fans are torn but Okada brings Briscoe around for a BIG back suplex.

Briscoe whips, Okada reverses, but Briscoe slides under the boot! Crane Stance! Crane feint, then the CRANE KICK! The fans fire up as Briscoe stands up in his Redneck Kung-Fu stance. Briscoe stands Okada up to ROCK with a haymaker, then ROCKS him again. Okada staggers, Briscoe is on him with a CHOP! The fans “WOO~” and Callis acknowledges those heavy hands of Briscoe’s. Briscoe bumps Okada off buckles, stomps a mudhole, then stops as the ref counts 4. Briscoe then grinds his forearm into Okada’s face! The ref counts again, Briscoe stops at 4, and he whips corner to corner. Okada reverses but Briscoe goes up and out.

Okada runs up but Briscoe blocks a shot to ROCK Okada! Briscoe then RAMS into Okada, throws him out of the ring, and then DIVES! Direct hit and the fans fire up! Briscoe high-fives the front row before he puts Okada in the ring. Okada goes to a corner, Briscoe runs up and LARIATS! Briscoe goes corner to corner again, but Okada BOOTS him! Briscoe just fires up! Okada dodges this time, and he hoists Briscoe up to DROPKICK him down to the floor! The fans fire up while Grand Slam goes picture in picture.

Okada waits while Briscoe is down and out. A ring count starts, Briscoe stirs, but then Okada goes out to fetch Briscoe. Briscoe fires body shots but Okada kicks low! DDT to the floor! Okada leaves Briscoe behind and the ring count starts again. Briscoe rises up, leans on commentary, and he tells Callis off before he goes to the ring at 6 of 10. Okada is on Briscoe with another DDT! Cover, TWO! Briscoe toughs it out and Okada is annoyed. Okada stalks Briscoe to a corner, but Briscoe kicks low! Okada ELBOWS Briscoe, whips corner to corner, then runs in and ELBOWS Briscoe down! Okada paces while soaking up cheers and jeers.

Okada goes back to Briscoe and drags him up. Okada reels Briscoe in, turns him, and hits a NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Briscoe is still in this and he rises up. Okada is on him with a chinlock and bends him back! Briscoe endures as Okada leans on the hold, and Briscoe fights around to stand back up. But Okada drags Briscoe back down! Briscoe still fights, Grand Slam returns to single picture, and the fans rally up. Briscoe rises again, fires body shots, then runs, ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Okada hits a FLAPJACK! Okada is ice cold while the fans fire up. Okada brings Briscoe up, gut wrenches, but Briscoe fights to a victory roll! TWO!

Okada runs up, Briscoe waistlocks, but Okada switches. Briscoe breaks free to PELE! Both men are down and the fans fire up again! Briscoe pounds the mat and the fans rally. Briscoe rises, Okada stands, and they throw forearms back and forth! Briscoe ROCKS Okada, and Okada comes back to CLAW Briscoe’s eyes! Okada whips, but Briscoe reverses and CHOPS! Briscoe fires forearms, then whips. Okada reverses but Briscoe FLYING FOREARMS! The fans fire up again and both men rise up. Briscoe winds up to LARIAT in the corner! Briscoe brings Okada out to a FISHERMAN BUSTER! Cover, TWO!

The fans fire up as Okada stays in this! Briscoe clutches his neck but he brings Okada back up. Okada fights the clinch, the fans duel, and Okada puts Briscoe on ropes.

Briscoe runs in at the corner, but Okada pops him up to the Alabama Lift! REVERSE NECKBREAKER! The fans fire up again and Okada scoops to SLAM! Standard formula, Okada goes up the corner! MACHO ELBOW! Then Okada winds it up, and gives the Rainmaker MIDDLE FINGER~!

Okada grins, but Briscoe grabs that finger to BITE IT! The fans fire up and the ref reprimands, but Briscoe BITES more! Then EXPLODER!

The Continental Champion is rolling on the road to Arlington! Don Callis celebrates with his potentially new golden goose, but then Callis CLAWS Briscoe’s eyes! The fans boo as Okada aims with the belt! BELT SHOT to the ribs!! And then BELT SHOT to the head!! Callis & Okada stomp away on Briscoe, then they leave him behind. Another message sent to not just Kenny Omega but to anyone who would dare defy them. Will Okada go from Continental Champion to Unified Champion after going All In?

 

MJF w/ The Hurt Syndicate VS Mistico!

The Scumbag only ever does or uses something when it benefits him, and being extremely patriotic for the United States only seems to happen when he wants to stick it to someone not from the United States. MJF waves Ol’ Glory while he, MVP, Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin walk down to the ring, but will he have to wave the white flag of surrender here tonight? Or will MJF somehow screw over the arguably greatest and most beloved man in CMLL?

In fact, to counter MJF being an American idiot, Mistico takes off his Sin Cara mask to reveal the colors of Mexico’s flag and therefore the colors of his people. He also has Me Muero as his theme, and the fans all know that one! The bell rings and the two circle while the fans rally behind Mistico. The two tie up, MJF SHOVES Mistico away, and then MJF soaks up the heat. MJF mockingly claps and then says up theirs! MVP tells MJF to worry about Mistico, not the fans. The fans tell MJF off and MJF tells them to shut up. MJF and Mistico tie up, Mistico SHOVES MJF, and Mistico eggs MJF on! MJF gets up, he and Mistico circle again, and they tie up. MJF kicks low and grins.

MJF brings Mistico around to headlock but Mistico fires body shots. Mistico powers up and out, then CHOPS! Mistico winds up and the fans rally, and he knuckle locks before he CHOPS again! Mistico goes up, up, and he tightrope walks to FLYING ARM-DRAG! The fans fire up as Mistico then hits a CODE RED! Cover, TWO! MJF bails out but Mistico builds speed! Mistico handsprings to fake MJF out! MJF thinks he’s smooth for running away, but then MVP tells him to focus on Mistico, not on the fans. MJF says he knows, and he eggs on Mistico. Mistico runs out there to chase MJF, but then the Hurt Syndicate stands in the way!

The fans boo, Mistico wags his finger, and he tells them to part. MJF runs up to ROCK Mistico first! The fans boo but MJF high-fives his guys. MJF says, “Easy! Too easy!” MJF puts Mistico in the ring, smirks while the fans call him more names. MJF swivels his hips, then runs up, but Mistico dodges the knee drop! Mistico runs up to RANA! The fans fire up and Mistico has MJF in a corner. MJF wants mercy, but Mistico says nope! Mistico runs up, but MJF YANKS him into buckles! MJF stomps away on Mistico, then goes to the other end to stand on the corner. MJF soaks up heat as he does the Pledge of Allegiance!

The fans boo, and MVP again reprimands MJF, he needs to be about business, not about trolling! MJF goes back to Mistico, drags him up, and he brings Mistico around, but Mistico JAWBREAKERS! Mistico runs, hops on, but MJF stops Code Red to reel Mistico in! POWER BREAKER! Cover, TWO! Mistico survives, MVP says this is still fine, and Grand Slam goes picture in picture. MJF sits Mistico up, and he pulls at the mask! MJF’s lucky this is an AEW based event, CMLL rules say this is tantamount to a disqualification! MJF rips at the eyehole, then clamps on a chinlock. MJF grinds Mistico down but Mistico endures.

Mistico fights while the fans tell MJF off again. Mistico rises up, fires body shots, then runs to ROCK MJF! Mistico fires forearms but MJF throat chops! MJF TOSSES Mistico out, distracts the ref, and the Hurt Syndicate attacks! BARRIER BACKBREAKER from Shelton! Shelton shoves Mistico back into the ring, MJF covers, TWO! Mistico is still in this but the ref is a bit suspicious of the Hurt Syndicate. MVP defends their innocence, and MJF puts Mistico on ropes. MJF CHOKES Mistico, the ref counts, and MJF stops at 4. This lets Lashley CHOKE Mistico and throw hands! The Hurt syndicate gets away with more, and MJF covers, TWO!

MVP tells fans to callete, they saw nothing! MJF stalks Mistico, stomps him on the foot, then has him on the ropes. MJF stomps him more, then soaks up heat. MJF drags Mistico up, scoops and carries him, then SLAMS him down! MJF huffs ‘n’ puffs while Grand Slam returns to single picture. MJF sits Mistico back up, runs the ropes, and then just steps up to pelvic thrust! The fans boo and Mistico is pissed now! MVP says no more trolling, MJF, he’s already told him that! MJF ROCKS Mistico, but Mistico eggs him on! MJF ROCKS Mistico, CLUBS him again and again, but then Mistico blocks to fire off forearms! And KICKS, SOBATS and KICKS!

The fans fire up with Mistico, but MJF BITES Mistico’s mask! MJF whips, Mistico reverses, then he ducks ‘n’ dodges to handspring and BACK ELBOW! The fans fire up and Mistico aims from a corner. But MJF runs up! Mistico dodges, runs back in, but MJF puts him on the apron. Mistico GAMANGIRIS! The fans fire up, Mistico springboards, CROSSBODY! Mistico rolls through and keeps moving, tilt-o-whirl and DDT! MJF tumbles out, the fans fire up, and Mistico rises. Mistico springboards from the corner, SUPER CROSSBODY! The fans are thunderous as both men are down! The ring count starts while the fans cheer, “ESTA LUCHA! <THIS IS WRESTLING!>”

The fans fire up as Mistico puts MJF back in the ring. Mistico then springboards again, SWANTON BOMB! MJF sputters into the drop zone and Mistico goes up the corner! MOONSAULT, but MJF moves! Mistico rolls through as best he can, and he SNAP POWERSLAMS! Cover, TWO!! MJF survives, MVP is frustrated on his behalf, but Mistico covers again, TWO! MJF is still in this but the fans are still behind Mistico. Mistico stands MJF up and CHOPS! The fans rally, Mistico runs, but MJF SPITS in Mistico’s face! Mistico is pissed, but MJF dodges the haymaker! Mistico blocks MJF’s kick, but MJF POKES Mistico in the eyes!

MJF runs, but Mistico SUPERKICKS! MJF rebounds to FOREARM! Mistico rebounds to hop on, DESTROYER!! MJF staggers but he SUPERKICKS back! Cover, TWO!! Mistico survives, and both men are showing us why they were each record-setting champions in their companies! The fans rally up more and more, “ESTA LUCHA!” MVP talks with Lashley & Shelton, and MJF rises up. MJF goes to the apron, and then up the ramp? Is MJF quitting? Mistico rushes up after MJF, tilt-o-whirl and- NO, MJF stops La Mystica to hit a TOMBSTONE on the stage!! The ref hurries to check Mistico while the fans go nuts!

MVP hurries to check on MJF and tells him to get up. MJF grabs the ref and drags him away to the ring. MJF now wants the win by count out! The count begins, the fans count along, and Mistico is still down at tres. MJF lies down to mock Mistico, but Mistico rises at cinco! The fans are thunderous as Mistico fires himself up, and he runs down the ramp to then slide into the ring at nueve! The fans are thunderous and MJF is stunned! MJF covers his ears to block out the chants for Mistico, but then he drags Mistico to a corner. MJF calls his shot, goes up the corner, but Mistico springs up! GAMANGIRI! GAMANGIRI! And GAMANGIRI!!

Mistico fires up, GAMANGIRIS again, then he goes up top! Mistico steadies himself, brings MJF up, and hits a SUPER SPANISH FLY!! Mistico crawls to the cover, TWO!!! MJF survives and Mistico is stunned, but the fans give him strength to rise again. Mistico runs up on MJF, tilt-o-whirl and LA MYSTICA!! FUJIWARA ARMBAR!! But MVP distracts the ref!! MJF TAPS, but it doesn’t count!! Mistico is furious, MVP continues to keep the ref’s attention, MJF LOW BLOWS Mistico!! Roll-up, high stack, but now the distraction is backfiring! The ref is late to the count, TWO!! Mistico survives and The Hurt Syndicate is apoplectic!

The fans are electric as Mistico survives! “ESTA LUCHA!” as MJF and the ref argue now. MJF then runs up to LOW BLOW Mistico!??!

Winner: Mistico, by disqualification

Typical MJF throws a tantrum with that blatant breaking of the rules! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but then MJF SHOVES the ref down! That’ll be a fine, but MJF just rains down fists on Mistico! Lashley & Shelton join in! The fans boo as the Hurt Syndicate mugs Mistico! Then MJF threatens to do it! He grins, and he grabs Mistico’s mask! MJF SNATCHES it away!! The fans are furious as MJF holds up his trophy, and then puts it on! MJF flips everyone off while wearing Mistico’s mask, but here come Bandido, Templario y Titan! They won’t let this disrespect go unpunished! In fact, who is that climbing up the corners?! Kevin Knight & “Speedball” Mike Bailey are here!!

The fans fire up as Hurt Syndicate turns around, DOUBLE MISSILE DROPKICKS from #JetSpeed! MJF freaks out, and he gets DOUBLE SUPERKICKS for it! The Hurt Syndicate hurries away, Bailey gets Mistico his spare mask while MJF retreats wearing the real one. Mistico still won this match, but will he and his amigos make sure to get some payback?

 

4 Million Pesos Fatal 4 Way: Ricochet VS Mascara Dorada VS Holo.grm VS Lio Rush!

The One & Only is still looking for someone, anyone, to be worthy of following him on his journey to gold. Maybe having an extra $210K will help that? Or will someone else cash in big with a Grand Slam?

The bell rings and the four watch each other. Ricochet tries to bond with Bryce Remsburg over being bald but Bryce isn’t having it. Ricochet and the others all approach center, but then Lio says forget this. Lio goes to a corner to soak up heat, and Ricochet talks it over with the luchadores. They all step up and Lio sees he is surrounded. Lio says hold on, let’s take it easy. But then Ricochet sucker punches Dorada! Ricochet stomps away on Dorada, Lio DECKS Hologram and stomps him, too! The fans boo but Ricochet and Lio soak up the heat. They shake hands and trade luchadores. Then they coordinate, and they run corner to corner to trade again, LARIATS in the corners!

Lio then feeds Hologram to Ricochet for another LARIAT! Lio runs in and LARIATS Dorada! Feed to Ricochet’s LARIAT! The fans boo but Ricochet & Lio soak it up. Ricochet & Lio get the luchadores up and out of the ring, then they mock the fans clapping. Ricochet & Lio both build speed, but the luchadores are back! DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! Dorada sets up, Hologram runs, and Dorada pops Hologram up for an ARABIAN PRESS ARM-DRAG! Lio is sent away, Hologram dodges Ricochet and Dorada SUPERKICKS Now Hologram returns the favor so that Dorada can ARABIAN PRESS ARM-DRAG Ricochet!

The fans fire up as Ricochet tumbles into Lio at the corner. Dorada runs and rolls off Hologram’s back so Hologram can SPLASH both Ricochet & Lio! Then Dorada runs in for a CYCLONE SPLASH! Then Dorada gives Hologram a boost so he can DOUBLE DROPKICK Ricochet & Lio outta the ring! That leaves Hologram and Dorada to square off. The fans fire up as they go forehead to forehead, and then they speed up! Only for Ricochet and Lio to trip them both up! The fans boo as Lio RAMS Dorada into railing on one side and Ricochet THROWS Hologram into railing on the other! Ricochet soaks up heat while Lio rains down fists on Dorada.

Ricochet THROWS Hologram into more railing, then Lio talks trash. Ricochet soaks up heat, Lio sends Dorada hard into the railing! And in Arena Mexico, these railings are bolted to the floor, there is far less give than AEW’s ringside barriers. Lio puts Dorada in the ring and Ricochet is there to bring him up. Lio & Ricochet mug Dorada, Lio runs, but then Dorada gets away! Lio holds up while Ricochet covers up. Dorada spins Ricochet for a JUMP KNEE! Then he ROCKS Lio again and again!

Lio ASAI MOONSAULTS onto Hologram! The fans fire up and Grand Slam goes picture in picture.

Ricochet soaks up cheers and jeers, dusts himself off, and Lio talks trash on Hologram. Lio scuffs Hologram, Ricochet mocks the fans, and then Ricochet CLUBS Dorada. Lio THROWS Hologram into railing, Ricochet ROCKS Dorada, and Ricochet follows Dorada to the ramp. Ricochet fires hands on Dorada, but Dorada fires a flurry in return! Dorada CHOPS Ricochet against the ropes! Dorada fire sup, runs up the ramp and back down, but Ricochet BACKDROPS him into the ring! Lio CLOBBERS Hologram at the same time! Ricochet soaks up more heat, and then Lio brings Dorada around.

Lio & Ricochet continue to work together as they mug Dorada then mug Hologram. They get Dorada up but Dorada fires CHOP after CHOP on each of them! Dorada fires up, runs, but into a DOUBLE DROPKICK! Ricochet gives some Latino Heat while soaking up the heat. Lio intercepts Hologram at the ropes, he and Ricochet double whip, and they DOUBLE ELBOW him down! They soak up more heat, stomp Hologram, then Ricochet covers. Lio stops that and Ricochet apologizes, it was a force of habit. Grand Slam returns to single picture as the fans rally for Hologram.

Things speed up, Dorada drops down then hurdles over, then he blows past Hologram! Hologram DIVES onto Lio, and Dorada FLIES out onto Ricochet!

The fans are thunderous as Dorada y Hologram rise up! “ESTA LUCHA!” as Hologram and Dorada leave Ricochet and Lio behind. Things keep moving, Hologram drops down, bypasses, but Dorada handsprings.

CMLL Women’s World Championship: Zeuxis VS Mercedes Mone!

The Warrior Goddess doesn’t appreciate being seen as just an appetizer on The CEO’s road to All In: Texas, but she still accepted the challenge for this match. Will Zeuxis be the first to humble Mone? Or will the Money Train pick up yet another belt on her way to Globe Life Field?

Winner: Mercedes Mone, by pinfall (NEW CMLL Women’s World Champion)

Even Mone is a bit surprised, but she flipped things around on Zeuxis and has taken yet another title! Mone holds up the FIVE championships in her collection and the streams fly! Will The CEO only add to her treasury when she and- Wait, speaking of Toni Storm, she’s on the tron! “She’s the kind of woman who always has money on her mind and someone else on her lips. She’s the kind of woman mother takes home to you. With thighs as big as the world and long as a wet dream. One thing she did know how to hold the gold, and not the Acapulco kind, either. She had a date with a Chief Executive Officer who wanted a kiss, but one belt too many.

“Deepthroat some tabasco, baby, it’s time to turn up the heat. There was one chance in a million she would bump into her past, but like everything out of the past, it was all behind her now.” The fans cheer as the noir narration ends, because surprise! That’s… Mina Shirakawa? Because Toni Storm sneaks into the ring from the crowd! The fans fire up as the lady in red takes a sniff of the gold. Mone realizes what’s going on now, and Toni reels her in for a FIVE BELT GERMAN SUPLEX!! Toni goes from Marlowe to Brando to fire off on her contender! The fans cheer as Mone runs away and Toni gives her chase! She gets Mone at the ramp but the refs stop her!

The fans boo and Mone scrambles away through the streamers! One lucky fan gets Mone to hug her as she cowers in fear. Toni grabs a mic to shout, “Let the games begin~!” Toni revels in the streamers while Mone pulls at her hair in frustration! Will the AEW Women’s World Championship be the one belt Mone doesn’t take?

But there’s no running from what’s coming! 24 days remain before All In, will they be the last 24 days Moxley has as champion?


My Thoughts:

Awesome night for AEW’s first show in Mexico, even with things going about how I expected. For one, Mone of course won the title, because why else would they even do this match if not to give her one more belt? Though, what’s wild is that she picked up another belt without much hype or press from AEW. I guess European Wrestling Alliance hopes this gets them some attention. But good stuff with Toni Storm’s noir video and the sneak attack. And I would hope Toni retains the title at All In to keep Mone from going Ultimo Dragon just yet.

Cash Wheeler and Claudio Castagnoli both had travel issues, so I understand subbing people in. But did a 12 Man Tag really need to become a 14 Man Tag for it? And seeing as how I don’t cover CMLL’s own programming, I have NO idea why Atlantis Senior & Junior are getting booed. Is it a “Cena Wins LOL” situation where Junior is winning too much? That’s the only thing I can really think of offhand. But naturally, the Faces of that match won, as The Don Callis Family was rolling last week and needed humbling. I would think we still get Adam Cole VS Kyle Fletcher 2 now, and maybe Kyle wins the title so that the Don Callis Family has something.

Although, Callis seems to be bringing Okada into the fold for whatever reason, so he could end up bringing the “Unified” Continental & International Championship to the family. Okada VS Briscoe was great, and naturally Okada got the win. Mistico VS MJF was great stuff, up until MJF gave up and gave Mistico the win there. I know MJF loves getting heat, but him being the first man to snatch Mistico’s mask away like that is some HUGE heat. Also, I think I said it way back during some feud Penta had in AEW, but are masks really sacred if they’re willing to let them get ripped, stretched, and even yanked away? Or has that been lucha libre kayfabe all along? Either way, great stuff with JetSpeed and the other luchadores showing up, lots of matches set up with that.

Great Fatal 4 Way, and great win for Hologram to stay undefeated, but I will again criticize needing to do money prizes for these things. They should’ve set Hologram up for a title match twice over by now but TK is apparently making Hologram his top undefeated guy. Like if Goldberg was more than just big and strong and could actually do stuff… Also, while they obviously didn’t work together the entire time, I just feel like Ricochet having Lio Rush & Action Andretti become his crew (what with them being CRU and all) is the right move. Or perhaps this story of finding a faction is going to be an ongoing gag that no one likes Ricochet and would never follow him.

Then a great 10 Man Tag main event, though a little redundant considering Anarchy in the Arena was only a few weeks ago. Still good stuff for everybody, especially Mortos since he got to sub in for Claudio. Of course Marina gets involved so that the Heels win, but great stuff with Hangman going after Moxley. Hangman did a great job in his promo speaking Espanol to show respect to the fans. Naturally, Moxley gets away, that’s his whole thing. I really hope Ospreay, Swerve and The Opps keep the Death Riders and Bucks at bay so Hangman doesn’t get screwed over at All In. It’d be garbage if, after all this time and energy, it doesn’t pay off with Hangman as the triumphant hero.

My Score: 9/10
