Limitless
Wrestling promoted their second show on November 14th in Orono at
the American Legion Hall and after everything good that I had heard about the
first show in September I knew I couldn’t miss this one, and I’m glad I
didn’t.
Top to
bottom this was one of the finest wrestling cards I have ever attended in Maine
and the best since the 2012 Robbie Ellis Cup in Fairfield. A total of 8 matches including a 4 team tag
match, a 5 man scramble, a women’s match, a no-dq match, and the card’s main
event featured Ace Romero vs. Scotty Wild.

Anthony
Greene has fast become one of my favorite wrestlers to watch on the independent scene
since I first saw him back at MEW’s debut show.
This was my second time seeing Flip Gordon live and he too is extremely
impressive in the ring. This was the
match that was I was looking forward to the most on the card and it did not disappoint. Both men worked very hard with the match going
back and forth until Greene got the win.
I would like to see Limitless bring them both back at all their shows.

The Fatal
Four Way was next with The Influence winning their second match in a row getting
the pin on Mantequilla. I know one is
scheduled for the next event so it seems this type of match will be one at each
show. The only team I had seen before
was Da Hoodz and they were the work horses carrying this match from beginning
to end. For reasons unknown the Bash
Brothers walked out before the finish signaling they didn’t need this. The Influence are great and Caveman was in
character the entire event, even intermission, he was just hilarious.
Mastone and
Smashmaster was a slow methodical match but the two went at each other with
Mastone repeatedly trying to hit his belly to belly suplex. Smashmaster attempted a very impressive
senton bomb off the top showing the big man has some agility. I would like to see Mastone take on Ace
Romero.
The last
match before intermission was the no disqualification bout between Shane Marvel
and Jeremy Leary. This was Marvel’s last
match in New England before moving to Arizona.
This would have been my least favorite match of the night, and it was
still a good match. It was billed as no DQ, Marvel even brought out a trashcan of
weapons, and yet the first 5 minutes they exchange holds mat wrestling. Once they got into the brawling aspects of
it, it was better but you don’t chain wrestle in a no DQ match.

| Myself with Donst |
Tim Donst
defeated “The Carnivore” Alex Mason in a great wrestling match. Donst is a wrestler that I have watched over the years in Chikara
and now recently Combat Zone Wrestling where he was recently the CZW Wired
Champion. Earlier this year Donst had
been diagnosed with cancer and after having his Kidney removed thought his time
in the ring was over. He was able to
come back to the ring that he loves dearly, you can see that in an excellent
documentary about Donst and his fight with cancer.
The five man
scramble match was great; I really liked what Top Shelf brought with his inebriated
comedic ways. Xavier Bell if he
continues to build is going to be a machine, the finish with the big ole
piledriver on Nelson was great. I like
the piledriver and it’s banned on WWE so we don’t see it much. Everyone held their own in the match bringing
a piece of themselves into it.
After the
bout Lee berated the camera man who wasn’t going to take his crap leading to
Randy making them a tag team in the Four Way Tag at the next show. I’m pretty knowledgeable I feel, but I was a
bit lost on this one. Randy eluded to the
fact that the camera guy was training or he could have just been giving Lee
crap. My buddy Roy has some inside info and
told me that he has been training and has had some matches but I didn’t think
it was clear.
A rare
ladies match pitting Maximum Mecca against Sonya Strong. I had seen only one Mecca match and that was
on NECW TV earlier that day, never heard of either prior to that. I gotta say I was very impressed by both of
them. Sonya has some great feet landing
a devastating kick combo at one point.
Mecca is full of charisma and both worked their asses off! I would love to see both of them back in
action at Limitless Wrestling.
Main Event
was explosive and hard hitting as Ace Romero and Scotty Wild beat the tar out
of each other. Romero can fly over the
top rope in a way a man his size shouldn’t be able to. You could see the welts and handprints on
Wild’s chest for the chops he received from Romero. Wild gave just has much as he received
lighting up Romero with chops of his own.
After his victory Romero announced he would be fighting AR Fox when
Limitless returns in January.
Like I said earlier
one of the best shows I have seen in a long time where even worst match on the
card was a really good match. My buddy
Mikey commented on the ride home that he thought this show was better than
their first. I cannot stress enough that
if you are a fan of wrestling you need to make the drive to Limitless it’s well
worth it.
