ZACK SABRE JR, RICOCHET, TEDDY LONG, RUDE BOY RILEY, ANTHONY GANGONE, MARQ QUEEN & MORE: HOUSE OF GLORY COVERAGE FROM NYC

By Mike Johnson on 2016-12-03 19:41:00

Welcome to PWInsider.com's House of Glory Wrestling "Student Showcase 2" coverage from the Queensborough Elks Lodge!

Hank came out first and cut a promo saying it was his 26th birthday.  He said he wasn't originally booked for the show, but a friend of his got hurt throwing out illegal aliens.  They knocked the crowd and challenged Smiley, Caveman and Mantequillas to come face them.  The trio came out.

Smiley & The Caveman & Mantequillas vs. Nick Heat & Hank Flanders & Adam Falcon

They announced the winning team will get to determine the stipulation for Heat vs. Smiley at their 12/17 Anniversary event in Jamaica, NY.

Caveman and Heat started out.  The teams fought back and forth.  Falcon went for a Torture Rack but Mantequillas slipped out and nailed a kick.  Flanders and Caveman tagged in.  Caveman cleaned house.  He's awesome at his gimmick.   Caveman went to the top but Flanders' manager tried to distract him.  Smiley charged with a big forearm to the manager.  Falcon tried to suplex Smiley and Caveman at the same time but they reversed it.  Lots of back and forth action.  It closed out with the babyfaces hitting a pair of top rope splashes followed by Smiley hitting a 450 splash off the top for the pin.  Entertaining tag match.

Your winners, Smiley & The Caveman & Mantequillas!

The Juggernaut vs. Really Big Deal Brian Burgundy.

Burgundy (who I will call RBD here) got this massive introduction as if he was going to be the modern day King Kong Bundy and then a smaller, thin guy came out.  That was funny.  Juggernaut is a masked guy, much larger.   RBD tried to out-muscle Juggernaut but it didn't work out so well.  So, he called for a test of strength.  Of course he did.  He pulled out a step ladder to read Juggernaut's arms.  That was funny.  He sent Juggernaut out of the ring and went for a tope but was caught as if he was going up for sit-down powerbomb and just thrown back first against the apron the most evil way possible.  It's a miracle he wasn't hurt.

Juggernaut slammed him into the apron and the ringpost, then brought RBD back in, where the beatings continued.  RBD's back looked all bruised up.  Juggernaut just pummeled the living crap out of him.  I can't think of a better way to describe it.  Just evil.  RBD came back to grab a German suplex out of nowhere and scored the pin.  The place went NUTS!

Your winner, Really Big Deal!

Sasha Jenkins vs Sonya Strong

Sasha was trying to come on to Sonya and he got slapped for it.  They went to lock up and he shoved her down on the mat.  They traded drop toeholds.  She nailed a rana.  Sasha maneuvered her into an embrace, kissed her and shoved her down.   The crowd chanted, "A**hole" at him.  She went nuts and unloaded with stiff roundhouse kicks and chased him from the ring.

Jenkins tried to run to the back but was grabbed by his ear and pulled back.  He shoved her into the ringpost and brought her back into the ring. He mocked her but he grabbed him in a testicular claw.   He was able to get out and nailed a bicycle kick.  Jenkins stepped on her throat until the referee finally forced him off.  He then choked her against the ropes.

Jenkins continued to wear down Strong, locking her in a side chinlock.  She fought her way out and nailed a big clothesline.  She came back with several kicks.   He sent her up and over but was kicked.  He nailed a flying bodypress for a two count.   She peppered him with forearms but was caught with a head and arms Tazplex for a two count.  She came back to hit a release Dragon suplex.  It looked nasty.  Jenkins rolled to the outside.  Strong followed him to the floor and brought him back into the ring. 

When Strong returned, he smashed her down and covered her in a lewd way.  She turned it into a sunset flip and scored the pin.

Your winner, Sonya Strong!

Pretty damn hard fought match. Jenkins has a nice look and was a great, ruthless heel.  Strong has that hometown babyface feel to her and worked really hard.  She's improved a lot since the last time I saw her work.

After the match, Violet attacked Strong from behind and beat her down.  Strong fought her off.  Security forced Violet out of the building.

They announced Violet vs. Strong for the 12/17 return to Jamaica, NY.

Bones & ? vs.  Herbal Affair with Toasty Todd

Bones was painted up like a voodoo master and spent a lot of time biting people in a funny way.  There was a lot of back and forth action.   There was a comedy spot where the referee had "smoke" blown in his face and he acted like he was stoned.   Bones kicked Todd, who was on the top rope and the guy took a back bump off the top backwards to the floor.  It was nutty.    Everyone started whipping out all sorts of high spots.  Herbal Affairs captured the win.

The lights went out and when they returned, The Juggernaut was in the ring with some minions.    They attacked Bones and put him in a bodybag.
