4/18 WRESTLING OPEN 'SPRINGTACULAR' REPORT FROM WORCESTER, MA

Wrestling Open “Springtacular”

4/18/24 Worcester, MA

Open’s poster game has been REALLY GOOD. 

Spotlight Match: JGeorge beats Brett Mettro with a scissor kick. Good showcase for the BioPro grad.

Match 1: Rex Lawless & RJ Rude vs The Love Doctors (Landon Hale & Love Doug) - Chairs are legal

RJ, playing up his new heel persona came out to the ring singing the Kars for Kidz song. Omg. The doctors give RJ a taste of the pain we all felt. Bring in some chairs? Rex says no chairs. Landon getting pummeled. Doug eats a big boot. The pop punk f***boys refuse to bring chairs into the fray, disappointing the Worcester crowd. This is all Rex and RJ. Landon finally rallies…Doug tosses him a chair and the Good Doctor gives Rex a very bad back problem. RJ tries to beg off but he gets a metal adjustment as well. RJ with a reversal and plants Landon with a reverse ddt to the chair. You want chairs??? RJ sets ‘em up. And goes right into them when Doug dodges a swanton. TJ Crawford is out here to distract Doug. Big staredown and Rex/Rude use that moment to destroy Doug for the pin.

Winner: Lawless & Rude

Match 2: DJ Powers vs CPA 

Powers is the kind of brash cocky dips*** that plays well against CPA’s schtick. CPA’s on a roll then Powers is like “no you aren’t gonna beat me with your dumb move”. CPA comes back and hits the 1099 and crunches numbers for the win.

Winner: CPA

JGeorge and Percy Ryan are out here. They challenge CPA to find a tag partner so Percy can get him back for slapping his perfect jaw. 

Match 3: Ray Jaz vs Marcus Mathers

Jaz is back on the mic for the first time in a while. Some of the newer folks haven’t seen Ray enough to know how to properly hate him. Marcus tries to grapple with Jaz early on and it’s not going well. Jaz with some serious disrespect for the kid. Marcus with some sizzle and Jaz takes right back over. Huge belly to belly flips jaz almost onto his damn head. Spring up cutter!  Marcus heads up top, Ray dodges and hits a DVD.  Jaz to the top and hits an elbow drop for the cleanest of wins.

Winner: Ray Jaz

Jaz has some words about Big Boofa Dezmond Cole…he can’t say them because Cole is right here to pummel the Jersey Legend. Boofa didn’t forget about Jaz’s interference last week. And next week, he’s getting a piece of that jaz.

It’s Pick Your opponent time! The Church of Greatness has some great opponents for the ranch…it’s the IWTV tag Team champions, former Eliminator Cup champions and close friends of Ichiban, the Miracle Generation!

Match 4: The Stetson Ranch (Steven Stetson & Danny Miles) vs The Miracle Generation (Kylon King & Dustin Waller) 

They spend a great amount of time barely working and just letting the crowd express themselves at the ranch and for the generation. Really good back and forth contest at this gets up to speed. The ranch utilizing two on ones and cheap shots where they can. The MG just working from pure athleticism. Miles tosses Dustin into a hard knee from Kylon. King trying to go it alone but Stetson hits from behind. Eliminators Lariat! Dustin with a Frogsplash off the top breaks up the pin! Both teams just brawling at this point. Ref Bill has lost control and can’t stop it so he calls for the bell. MG almost double superkicks a very beat up Stetson but he gets out of there.

Winner: Double DQ

Bobby Orlando is out here to talk about the future of the Shook Crew, after Bryce Donovan quit Wrestling Open when the Stetson Ranch took their championships as soon as they had won them. Bobby has missed us. We miss Shook Crew. Bobby Orlando calls into the camera to Bryce Donovan. They have more to accomplish…and he should come back! MAX CASTER IS OUT HERE! Caster is full heel as he reminds Orlando AND us that Caster is ALSO part of the Shook Crew. Caster giving Bobby flak for WANTING Shook Crew to be here in Worcester. Caster calls Bobby the weak link and the reason why Bryce left. Caster may hate it here but he says he is here to help Bob out as the second member of Shook Crew. He runs through his accolades and how much better he’s done than Orlando. But Caster says Bob has star quality…but keeps failing his goals. But next week, Shook Crew can be back. Max and Bob are back in tag action next week! Bobby doesn’t seem so sure about this. 

 Match 5: Paris Van Dale vs Allie Katch

It’s worth noting that Lauren St James appears to have found a spot as Paris’ personal ring announcer. Allie rules her up early but Paris hits a big boot and her short ddt and it’s looks to be an early night. Kick out!  Mommy with the big hip attacks. Paris tries a crossface! Allie grabs the legs and arches Paris back and gets the pin!

Winner: Allie Katch

Paris is mad and stomps out Allie. Lauren St James announces Paris as the REAL winner of the match. I don’t think that’s official.

 Match 6: Jermaine Marbury & Benny the Basketball vs World Class Channing Thomas & Sidney Bakabella

This is a blast. Bakabella wins a test of strength against Benny via gut kick. A big Bakabella lariat??? Turn it around and Marbury and Benny are making World Class fools of Channing and Sidney. It takes a little veteran magic of focus manipulation to get Channing the moment to strike on Marbury. Jermaine picks Benny into an airplane spin that sends Sidney and Channing to the buckles for stereo ten punches! Jermaine with a dive to the floor as Bakabella attacks Benny from behind! Benny is hulking up?!? Marbury assists Benny with the atomic legdrop to double pin Bakabella for the win. Deeeeeelightful. 

Winners: Marbury & Benny

 Main Event: Big Bacon Brad Hollister(c) (w/ TJ Crawford) vs Fancy Ryan Clancy (for the Wrestling Open Championship)

Clancy is here to get the definitive win tonight and no more confusing double pins. TJ heads back through the curtain but we are WELL AWARE he is here tonight. Bacon running for cover but Clancy is allllll over him. Bacon dodges the finishing dropkick and sends Clancy to the post. Fighting to the floor, Bacon with a suplex to the boards. Bacon staying on his challenger, trying to grind Ryan down. Clancy drops Bacon. The crowd firing up! Fancy punches to the champ! Back body drop! Clancy puts on a sharpshooter! Bacon gets the ropes! Bacon tries to take the fight to the floor again but Fancy is ready and comes flying. Top rope fancy splash for two!!! Fancy moonsault….Bacon rolls through and almost steals the pin! Bacon pulls out a muscle buster!!!   Fancy flip fakes bacon! Dropkick connects! TJ runs out and pulls Aref Bill out before the three. He decks the ref! Clancy staring TJ down and Bacon hits a huge German! TJ has the title belt but Love Doug makes the save! Bacon blindsides Doug. TJ tries the belt shot but Clancy hits a side Russian…the belt flies into Bacon’s hand and he blasts Clancy with it! He makes the cover! We have a new ref and Bacon get the three. Booooo!

Winner: Brad Hollister

 Love Doug back up and almost hits a slice of love on the champ but TJ pulls Brad to safety as we close the show.
