It's been a week since Limitless Wrestling celebrated it's 11th Anniversary double shot weekend with shows in Yarmouth and Portland. This is the first time, outside of a convention or a festival, that Limitless has run two shows in consecutive days, however, those shows were at the same location.
This weekend also featured the first inductions into the Limitless Wrestling Hall of Fame class of 2026.
Saturday September 5th Limitless returned to the AMVets Hall in Yarmouth for the first time since February 2026. There were several debuts and returns on the show: Amira made her Limitless debut, Bruss Hamilton technically debuted in June at WrestleFest, but the show was held at the Maine Correctional Center, so this weekend was his debut at fan attended Limitless show. Billie Starkz finally made her debut in Maine and at Limitless Wrestling after two previous attempts, the first time she tore her MCL, the second time she was pulled by AEW. Marcus Mathers last wrestled in Yarmouth in November 2025 for GCW's Massacre in Maine, but this is his first time in a Limitless ring.
Mike Montero, who appeared in the first ever Limitless wrestling match, made his return to the promotion after a near 10 year absence last wrestling in October 2016 at Who Watches the Watchmen. Mike Grace made his return having last appeared at Limitless in July 2017 at Nothing Gold Can Stay.

I was happy see Amira wrestle in person, I've seen her on Wrestling Open and C4 shows. Her and Maggie Lee has a fantastic match. Maggie Lee is awesome, I'll repeat it forever, she's got all the tools. Channing and Marcus had a tremendous match that was extremely fast paced, I was so surprised they kept the pace going the entire match.
I was not surprised when Ace Romero came out at Gabby's tag team partner, I was surprised when B3 attacked Ace busting him open making him unfit to compete. When Maggie Lee ran out to help Gabby, I leaned over to my son Canaan and said "It's a trap" and it was. Can't wait to see Gabby and Maggie Lee square off again!
The six person tag was magnificent and many feel the match of the weekend! Billie Alec, & Jordan meshed so well together, Becca and the Shooter Boys are terrific together and the six of them went out there and just tore it up for the fans that night!
The two hall of fame induction ceremonies were emotional. Joey Gleitz was one of the first referees in Limitless as well as working for other Maine based promotion, passed away in 2020. That night his friend and wrestler "Cousin" Larry Huntley inducted Joey with his son Jason Maverick accepting the award for his father. J-Heru inducted MSP with Aggro, Daphne, and Lee all gave emotional speeches.
Near the end of the show word had gotten around that The Butcher, Andy Williams was rushed to the hospital from an Enjoy Wrestling show in Pennsylvania. Our group chat the rest of the evening and into Sunday morning was full of speculation based on the news we had seen. Sadly Andy passed away he was only 48.
Sunday September 6th Limitless was back at Live at Madrid's for show 2 of the double shot weekend. Limitless was last at Madrid's this past June and will return in October for Fresh Blood. This was the Limitless debut of the Breadwinners; Cash McGuiness and Patrick Wheatman, and Joseph Sawyer formerly known as Joe Gacy. Ring of Honor Pure Champion Lee Moriarty made his Limitless return after a near 5 year absence and it was the return of referee Tony P who hasn't appeared since January 2020.

It was a very classy move of Limitless to open the show with all wrestlers at ringside and the 10 bell salute for The Butcher. He and the blade had wrestled for Limitless this past March at the Bissell Brothers Bash.
Seabass and Rudy opened the show with a great match! I'm a fan of Seabass and Rudy has never failed to impress me with his abilities in the ring. He has a match with Jonathan Gresham September 13th that I just can't wait to watch.
I had very high expectations for A-Game vs. Tiga Style and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT! I've been watching Joseph Alexander since he debuted for Let's Wrestle at the indoor flea market in Brewer. His has done nothing but get better over the years! He moved south last year so is not up this way that often, so it's a treat to see him when we can.
Bruss Hamilton is a very cool guy, I had never met him until Saturday night, but we had a great conversation about his finisher and the fact he was living the van life on this tour of the northeast. I really hope we see more of him in Limitless, but I wouldn't be surprised if we saw him on national television sooner than later.
It was great seeing Ace and AG teaming again, AG even came out to "Heaven is A Place On Earth" and after the match they left to "Take Me Home Tonight." AG gave a tremendous induction speech earlier in the night for Ace. I would be surprised if AG wasn't inducted next year.
Let's talk about the Shooter Boys, B3, Anthony and Aaron. These kids, are so good in the ring at everything that they do. Every match they are in, win or lose, they come out it making themselves and their opponents look better than when they went in. It doesn't matter the style or type of match, if they are in it I look forward to it because I know it's going to be good.
Channing Thomas had a tremendous weekend at Limitless, going 1-1 defeating Marcus on Saturday and losing to the debuting Joseph Sawyer on Sunday. Both matches were different styles, different paces, and Channing lived up to his "World Class" moniker.
The main event of night 2 saw the long awaited match between Limitless World Champion: Gabby Forza and the "Dime Piece" Aaron Rourke. When Aaron made his entrance not to his most recent music, but his classic "Castle" by Virsces you could feel the emotion in the building.
I teared up, it felt like it was the last time we were going to see Aaron in Limitless, he was even emotional on his entrance. The fans, who were mercifully booing him just 24 hours earlier were now cheering, we could all feel this was special, even if we didn't know why. They had a terrific match with Gabby showing what she could do in her first title defense to kick off her title reign.
Like I said an amazing weekend of wrestling!
Limitless is back at Live At Madrid's on Sunday October 18th for Fresh Blood, tickets are on sale now. Already announced, Joseph Sawyer, Donovan Dijak, Maggie Lee, Cowboy Way, and making his Limitless debut JTG of Crime Time, with Sawyer challenging Dijak to a match at the show.
