Purpose Wrestling – March of the Dogs 08/07/22 – 2.5⭐

Back in the library! This was a fun show with multiple comedy moments, a title unveiling and one of my new favourite wrestlers in Bullit.

The 87 Vs East City Sovereigns – 2.5⭐

The opening match was a great way to get the crowd involved and set the pace for the night. The East City Sovereigns came out to a lot of boos and worked them from then on.

The two teams had a good tag match, sharing the offence nearly 50/50. ECS had some good heel comedy moments with the 87 looking the stronger and more dominant team. The highlight of the match for me was a huge jumping knee from Banks!

The finish came after some chasing and a distraction for ECS to hit water mist and a roll up for the win.

Rob Lias Vs David Francisco – 2⭐

Lias cut a promo before the match, giving it some heat, calling Francisco out for being selfish about his promotion.

The match was mainly David getting worked over and Rob taking the majority of the offence, sandwich with some power strikes Francisco gave out at the start and end of the match.

Francisco locked in a submission and Rob taped out, a good match that kept the crowd into the show.

The Super Chapman Bros. Vs The 0121 – 2.5⭐

After Deriss’ entrance rap, there was a good comedy bit where mad Kurt insisted on rapping better. To his credit, Mad Kurt wasn’t awful at it.

The match began and it was heavy on comedy spots, the 0121 took most the offence and no sold a lot of the Chapman’s soft strikes. At one point Deriss was chased off leaving Moloney to take them both on, and doing so. Deriss returned with water and a sandwich.

Towards the end Mad Kurt hit a flurry of attacks which was followed up by a huge Drilla from Dan Moloney to get the win. A fun match, but in my opinion one that went maybe 5 mins too long. Also, I love Dan Moloney, but think he works much better as a heel, but that’s just me.

Oli Peace & Bullit Vs Alexander & Taylor – 3⭐

This was my first time seeing everyone in this match, and it was my personal match of the night. I love Bullit! Alexander and Taylor I think were both great babyfaces in peril, and Peace was a fun Heel hiding behind his monster.

This for me put over Peace as a new heel force to be reckoned with, behind the muscle of Bullit. Alexander and Taylor both played their part great, with some nice comeback moments and fight backs.

But Bullit was too strong, and frequently threw one of the faces into the corner, asking for the other to be tagged in. Then when I couldn’t love him more, he hit a huge spine buster. Bullit got the win with a big powerbomb.

Ava White Vs Amira – 2.5⭐

Amira finally got booked, and she was great. In full Alex Windsor cosplay, she got the whole crowd behind her. For White to attack straight away and get a very very close pinfall (which I fully bought).

Ava White worked the majority of the match, working slowly and methodically. Amira had a good comeback moment, hitting some good moves on the outside and getting pumped up.

The end came very quickly though, White just pinned her all of a sudden. I think this could have been a great match if there was more of a 3rd act to it, especially after the hot start.

Destination Everywhere Vs Breaks & Bryant – 3⭐

The main event was great, and everyone came out better than going in, with the offence being shared pretty evenly throughout the match.

With multiple high spots throughout the match, one including a suicide dive into the recycling bin, it was mainly the final few minutes that had the main story beat.

Mills and Breaks will challenge for the first Purpose Championship next month, and Mills couldn’t pin Breaks. They wiped Nino out after a tombstone on the outside with Oku’s top rope dive.

When it was practically 2 on 1, Breaks was hit with move after move, and kept kicking out. Until he managed to roll Connor Mills up, Nino held Oku and the babyfaces won.

After the match, the handsome bastards tag team ran down to attack the faces, Connor unveiled the new belt and posed with it. The attack continued for the locker room to empty and save Breaks and Nino.

Rev Pro – Live in London 61 08/05/22 – 3⭐

Back at the 229 for the final show before Epic Encounter! A great crowd made even louder with frequent fire alarms at the start of the show.

David Francisco Vs Remi Adetunji – 2⭐

The opener set the pace for the night with hard hitting action. It was my first time seeing Remi but he came out with lots of energy and the crowd responded well to this.

These two put on a good match, getting over Remi’s move set, and him picking up the win with a spine buster (and I love a spine buster).

If treated right Remi could go far, a good look and nice move set. David played his part well and continues to help others get over.

Lykos Gym Vs Callum Newman & JJ Gale – 2.5⭐

Callum Newman is FAST! Fantastic and very exciting to watch. Lykos gym came out and worked the crowd from the start. Playing up to the chants and using multiple heelish tactics.

After a few near falls, Lykos gym went to their ‘man bag’ and used an exercise band on Newman to pick up the win. A good match which got both teams over.

Destination Everywhere Promo

Oku and Mills came out to put over the Tag League starting in a few weeks. Oku was then asked who he would face at Epic Encounter on the 22nd May. Mills grabbed the mic and challenged him for the Cruiserweight Championship.

The seeds of descent have played for months now so the match makes sense. I can see this being the start of a longer blood feud, but for now it seems as if it’s just a tag team seeing “who the better man is”. The promo did the job and the crowd seemed excited to see this match.

Chuck Mambo Vs Shota Umino – 2.5⭐

Furthering the Legion storyline Gideon Grey came out to introduce Shota, with Umino continuing to ignore him.

In one of the more colourful matches with Mambos glitter and Uminos tights, these two also put on a very good match. Mambos high flying moves against the Japanese style of Shota contrasted well.

Shota picked up the win with the Death Rider, leading to Gideon giving his cane to Mambo. This tricked Shota thinking Mambo was about to attack him and the two brawled to the back. This could’ve been done differently in my opinion as it makes Shota look a bit foolish, it was obviously Gideon’s cane.

RKJ Vs Lee Hunter – 3.5⭐

This match started in 4th gear and did not slow down. It started with Hunter getting chopped then running through the crowd, being chased and chopped by RKJ.

Once back in the ring they continued to hit big move after big move. The biggest being back on the floor, the crowd had to move from their seats, for RKJ to hit a huge suplex onto the empty seats. A massive bump for Hunter.

They then teased Hunter hitting a superplex from the top rope to the floor, but RKJ countered and showed a lot of strength lifting Hunter above his head and crashing him into the ring.

RKJ picked up the victory and signalled for the belt, hinting towards a future Ospreay re-match.

Robbie X Vs Joshua James – 2.5⭐

A real David Vs Goliath story, because James is a big lad! Throughout the match they teased Robbie lifting his opponent and kept building to it.

After avoiding James and hitting quick strikes, Robbie finally got Joshua over his head, then hit a cutter to get the win. A solid match to put Robbie’s speed and strength over.

Alex Windsor & Maya Matthews Vs Rhia O’Reilly & Nightshade -2⭐

The majority of this match had Matthews as the baby-face in peril, and this got her over hard when she started her comebacks.

Windsor and O’Reilly eventually brawled out the ring and to the back, leaving Nightshade and Matthews on the ring. Matthews managed to get a roll up victory to a good pop.

TK Cooper Vs Yota Tsuji – 3⭐

Strong strikes! These two had multiple great strike exchanges. Both men were over with the crowd with chants for TK and Tsuji.

The ending played into the Legion story as Yota was setting up for a move, Gideon jumped on the apron to hand the cane to him. Yota ran straight past TK and nailed Gideon. This allowed TK to get the quick pin on a distracted Tsuji.

After Gideon jumped TK, which led to Yota saving him. Mambo ran out for the save, which led to Gideon going back to get Shota to come out. Gideon offered Shota to join Legion temporarily with Yota going into the Tag League. Umino accepted.

Once again, something felt a bit off having Yota save Gideon, and Shota just believing everything Gideon says and does. But Yota and Shota teaming is always great.

United Empire Vs Destination Everywhere & Like Jacobs – 4⭐

A fantastic main event. Filled with star power and long term storytelling. Oku’s entrance was interrupted by Connor Mills, furthering their tension. Then United Empire came out and the whole room’s mood shifted.

Ospreays presence is enough to get him booed out most building, with Aussie Open standing either side of him, they just look and feel on another level.

All 6 men gave it everything, with power bombs into the brick walls and a top rope moonsault to the floor. The finish came with Ospreay hitting the hidden blade on Jacobs.

United Empire Promo

After the match, Aussie Open cut a promo on Velocity to build towards Epic Encounter. Then Ospreay spoke about Suzuki, until Kaze Ni Nara started playing.

For a split second I thought it could actually be Minoru Suzuki, then realised I was probably being worked, for Mad Kurt to come out.

Ospreay cut a promo on Kurt asking him to leave, for Kurt to respond “Ok Boomer”. A chair shot to the head followed, busting Mad Kurt open. Newman and Gale ran out for the save along with the contenders for them to be taken out by Aussie Open and Ospreay.

RKJ was the last to come out, with Ospreay offering him a rematch, if he could defeat Jeff Cobb at Epic Encounter. A good way to announce the match and it adds another match with high stakes.
