I went to 3 Wrestling Shows in 6 days in 3 Different States

I went to three wrestling shows in 3 different States in 6 days earlier this month.  Sunday July 12th in Manchester, New Hampshire to watch GCW Melee in Manchester.  Thursday July 16th in Boston, Massachusetts for AEW Collision at the MGM Music Hall at Fenway.  Lastly, Friday July 17th in Westbrook, Maine at the Armory for Limitless Wrestling Crunch Time.

There where two constants at all 3 shows, my buddy Mikey went to all three shows with me and we saw Bustah & The Brain: Alec Price & Jordan Oliver wrestle on all three of them.

Sunday the 12th we made a day of it going to Nashua, NH first for MonstahXpo where I met Tiffany Sheppis, a B Movie Scream Queen that I've been a fan of for 25 years who was amazing.  She actually was originally cast for David McLane's Women of Wrestling during their first season in 2000.

She was to play Madison, a million dollar man type character, but she left before the initial show for her own reasons.  She told me why, but I will let her share that.  She also told me an interesting story about the time she met "Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart.

We then went to a baseball game, Manchester Fisher Cats vs. Portland Sea Dogs which the Dogs lost back 10 - 3.  I had never been to that stadium before, it's a nice ballfield.

We then made our way to the Bishop Leo O'Neill Youth Center.  There is no air conditioning in the venue so it was 105 degrees in there!  The show was great, a nice surprise to hear Rich Palladino ring announce a few of the matches, Bustah & The Brain vs. Star Struck II was, once again, tremendous, and Atticus Cogar grabbing Dijak's very young daughter by the hair and threatening to skewer her was WILD!

That Thursday July 16th I went to my second AEW show of the year, 11th AEW show overall, and it was an AEW Collision taping at the MGM Music Hall at Fenway.  I LOVE watching AEW shows at these unique non-arena venues. It's such a fun and different look on TV and especially in person.

We got 1 preshow ROH match, then Collision was taped and then they taped several more ROH matches for a Beantown Beatdown ROH YouTube special.  It was a decent show, I mean we had fun, but it wasn't the best AEW show that I've been to.

The final match of the night was an 8 man tag that saw Bustah & The Brain: Alec Price & Jordan Oliver and ROH Six-Man Tag Team Champions: The Outrunners: Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd defeated The Premier Athletes: Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari with Mark Sterling and The Swirl: Blake Christian & Lee Johnson when Jordan Oliver pinned Daivari.

Friday was my third and final wrestling show of the week, Limitless Wrestling Crunch Time at the Westbrook Armory.  Main event was a six man tag that saw The Limit: Limitless World Champion: Donovan Dijak, Anthony Greene, & Channing Thomas with Sidney Bakabella defeat Bustah & The Brain: Alec Price & Jordan Oliver and Leedz Lewis when Dijak pinned Lewis

This was a tremendous show overall, and yes I'm biased because Limitless is my home.

Lewis Leedz is awesome and has a remarkable future.  I saw him wrestle Joey Janela at GCW in Manchester and that was excellent, and then in the six man at Limitless he was right there step for step with everyone else in the match.

It was an awesome week, but a long one with several late nights.  After Saturday night at home, Sunday night a bunch of us went to the "Weird Al" Yankovic concert in Bangor.  I don't normally have this much crammed so close to each other.  It was a blast, tiring, but a blast! 

Until Next Time!

2025 My Year In Wrestling

Here we go with my live wrestling recap for 2025!

2025 by the Numbers

23 wrestling events

8 different promotions, 1 first time attending

3 States

Maine, Massachusetts, & Maryland

I checked off a new state this year with my first ever wrestling show in Maryland.  I attended my second NXT show, which was also my first NXT PPV or PLE, I also went to my first TNA event since December 4, 2009.  

379 Lifetime events

January saw two show, both Limitless events.  The first on the 12th in Herman that saw Matt Cardona making his Limitless debut challenging Dezmond Cole for the World Title.  Also John Walters made his Limitless debut defeating Anthony Greene.  Six days later on the 18th Limitless was back in Yarmouth and saw Channing Thomas defeat Cole to win the Limitless World Championship.

February I went to 1 show, Limitless Wrestling back in Yarmouth on the 22nd with a heavyweight main event of Donovan Dijak vs. Calvin Tankman in a hard hitting match.

March I attended two shows, on the 14th RINGWARS in Palmyra and on the 21st Limitless making their debut at Brick South in Portland.  Brick South packed in a huge crowd with several debuts on the show from Deadlock Pro Wrestling.  This show we finally got the one one one match up between Becca and Gabby Forza, but it ended in DQ.

April featured another pair of shows, on the 17th we traveled to the MGM Music Hall in Boston for AEW Collision.  This was my first Collision taping but we also got some Ring of Honor Matches.  Big match of the night for me was seeing Nick Wayne defeated Kommander to win the ROH World Television Championship.  On the 26th Limitless Wrestling in Yarmouth that saw Bear Bronson pin Anthony Greene and Channing Thomas defend the Championship against Aaron Rourke.

May was another pair of shows, on the 17th I was back in Westbrook at the Armory for Limitless Wrestling for the first time since May 10, 2019.  What was VERY cool was seeing "Big" Rick Fuller at a show for the first time since April 25, 2009, he was there to visit Scotty 2 Hotty whose son Keagan was making his Limitless debut.  We also got a two team single cage WarZone match!!  The 30th was RINGWARS at the Fairfield Community Center for my 66th show at the venue featuring the 2 ring Joey Gleitz rumble match.

June was a single show, Limitless Wrestling back in Yarmouth on the 28th that had several VLC qualifying matches and Gabby Forza unsuccessfully challenged Channing Thomas for the world championship.

July 20th Limitless was back in Herman for the final VLC Qualifying matches that saw Anthony Greene win the qualifying battle royal even though he eliminated no one from the match.  I attended my first ever show in Maryland on the 27th at MCW Pro Wrestling, you can click the link to read all about my Maryland Wrestling Adventure.

August was two of the biggest events of the year, on the 9th the 2025 Limitless Wrestling Vacationland Cup.  Over 2500 people packed into the Colisee in Lewiston for an amazing night of Pro Wrestling featuring TNA Tag Team Champions The Hardy Boys, Dezmond Cole defeating Channing Thomas for the Limitless World Championship, Joey Eastman's needs to be seen to believe entrance and Aaron Rourke winning the 2025 Vacationland Cup.  The 24th I was back at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium for my first ever NXT PLE: Heatwave!  It was a solid show that saw two titles change hands, Blake Monroe in singles action and Obi Femi retain against Je'Von Evans.

September was one show, Limitless back in Westbrook on the 20th that saw Dijak turn after another loss, the Bakabella Family splinter, Gabby Forza defeated Maggie Lee, and a returning Jody Threat fall to Becca.

October had 3 shows two in Lowell on the 12th with a matinee Beyond Wrestling show that featured a mat wrestling tournament with Drew Gulak, Timothy Thatcher, Ryan Clancy, and others as well as Will Kroos in non-tournament action.  That evening at the Tsongas Center I attended my first TNA show in almost 16 years, and my first TNA PPV in Bound For Glory, their biggest show of the year.  A big show it was with the final match of the Dudley Boyz, the largest North American attendance for a TNA show and more, you can read bout it here: TNA Bound For Glory 2025.  The 17th Limitless was in Biddeford for Fresh Blood featuring the Limitless debuts of Will Kroos, Lena Cross, and more.  It was a very fun intimate crowd standing room only Limitless show, which is not their typical presentation.  That is what is so great about Limitless Wrestling, their ability to put on a variety of different style shows at various venues and succeed.

November featured my final 3 shows of 2025.  The first two on the 14th were a Limitless double shot at the Queen City Expo Con in Bangor.  This was actually the last weekend of shows for Limitless for the year with 1 on Friday, 2 on Saturday and 1 on Sunday, I only went to Saturday.  On show 1 we got The Savage Gnomes vs. Los Toxicos and AG & Dijak vs. Cole & Alec Price.  Show 2 opened with the actors from The Adventures of Pete & Pete doing a bit with Anthony Greene & Sidney Bakabella.  For matches we got Dijak vs. Aaron Rourke and for the Limitless title Cole vs. Price vs. Bear Bronson.

My last live event of the year was AEW Dynamite and Collision in Boston, back at the Agganis Arena, the go home show before the Full Gear PPV.  We got matched from the women's tag title tournament, Hangman Page vs Shibata, Okada vs Dorada, and Mercedes Mone defeat Red Velvet to unify the ROH Women's World Television Championship.

I'm very pleased with my wrestling journey this year.

2026 is starting out big with 2 definite shows and a potential 3rd show in January

January 10th - NSPW Quebec City

January 16th - Limitless Wrestling, The Colisse for the Limitless Rumble

January 23rd - RINGWARS Fairfield Community Center

AEW Collision: April 17, 2025 BOSTON

After a wonderful weekend of watching professional wrestling I finally find myself with the time to write about attending AEW Collision at the MGM Music Hall Fenway in Boston, Massachusetts.

When AEW announced the double shows, Dynamite on the 16th and Collision on the 17th I was tempted to go to both, but Boston is a long drive and it's not feasible, plus work.  Ultimately I wanted to go to Collision on Thursday as I had never been to Collision before but have been to Dynamite numerous times before.  I thought it was going to be a taped Collision as it airs on Saturdays, and it would be perfect to watch it live as it's normal time slot conflicts with WrestleMania 41 Saturday, however leading up the event it was announced that it would air live on Thursday.

When tickets went on sale after looking over what was available on the presale I chose the Mezzanine box seats as the price point was the same as the front row of the mezzanine seating behind the boxes and the pictures looked good.  And boy where they ever!  More on that later.

I left the house at noon and picked up Mikey at his place, first stop was The Brook, the casino in Seabrook, NH he has a free slot play and Mikey likes to spin the reels.  After a quick pay window trip for him we drove to Encore just outside Boston where he had another free slot play, I wasted $20 myself at this stop.  However the main focus for me is that they have a Shake Shack and I love me a shack burger!  We don't have them in Maine.

I had prepaid for parking a couple months back on the Park whiz app, $25, parking at the same lot that night was $65 so if you ever go to Boston and you know in advance buy parking as far ahead of time as you can.  It was a short walk over to the MGM Music Hall at Fenway which we got in line about 6pm.

MGM Music Hall at Fenway opened in August 2022 and features the main floor and two elevates seating areas that can hold 5009 people for concerts.  My daughter and I attended Mitski in concert at this venue in February 2024.  

Doors opened at 630pm and we headed to our seats, this is when we found out that our box seats had a special entrance where you had to show your ticket to get a wrist band, had a private bar with lounge area and bathrooms and our seats had table service.  There were 4 seats in the boxes and can move around and are quite comfortable.  

As you can see from the images we had an amazing view and I would not hesitate to sit here again for any show at this venue in the future.

Before the live Collision, we had two Ring of Honor matches, then 7 matches on Collision and no post live show matches.  I was really hoping for an FTR match because they typically on wrestle on Collision and they are my favorite tag team, but alas they were on a "one week suspension" for their actions on the last episode of Collision. 

Ring of Honor Taping:

The Frat House: Griff Garrison & Cole Carter with Preston Vance and Jacked Jameson defeated the Spanish Announce Project: Serpentico and Angelico

8 Man Tag: Mark Briscoe, AR Fox, and Top Flight: Darius & Dante Martin with Leila Gray defeated Shane Taylor Promotions: Shane Taylor, ROH Pure Champion: Lee Moriarty, and The Infantry: Sean Dean & Charlie Bravo 

AEW Collision Live

Kevin Knight pinned Lance Archer with Don Callis

NEVER Openweight Champion: Konosuke Takeshita & Josh Alexander defeated Tomohiro Ishii and Rocky Romero when Romero turned on Ishii 

Post match: Trent made his return, he and Rocky joined the Don Callis Family and attacked Ishii with a wrench

2 on 1 Handicap Match: Megan Bayne with Penelope Ford defeated Ashley Vox and Rebecca Scott pinning both at once

Open Challenge: TNT Champion: Adam Cole pinned Claudio Castagnoli

La Faccion Ingobernable: Rush, Dralistico, & The Beast Mortos defeated Kevin Mathews, LSG, & Rosario Grillo

Nick Wayne pinned ROH World Television Champion: Komander with Alex Abrahantes to win the Championship

Kris Statlander & Julia Hart defeated TBS Champion, New Japan Strong Women's Champion, and RevPro Undisputed British Women's Champion: Mercedes Mone and Harley Cameron with Statlander pinned Cameron

Post show Mercedes Mone cut a promo about being in Boston.  Harley Cameron then bought out her pupped Mini Mone and entertained the crowd. No Tony Khan appearance tonight at all.

After the show I bought an AEW Collision logo shirt and enamel pin at the merchandise table.  I don't need a new t-shirt but I just really like the simple design.  We hit the road after stopping at the 7-11 in Saugus, MA for a big gulp and stopped again at the Circle K in Kittery, ME to fuel up and grab a monster peach tea.  I got home just before 2am, another successful wrestling adventure. 

I have no regrets going on Thursday and not Wednesday, even though Wednesday had Osprey vs. Takeshita.  We got some great wrestling matches, and a title change when Nick Wayne won his first major singles championship.

In the tag team match, Ishii and Takeshita squared off, and during a shoulder tackle I have never heard two people slam into each other that hard and no sell it that I can think of.  Smack from the impact was wild!!!

I can't imagine I'll see AEW live again this year, but rumor has it that ROH Final Battle will be Massachusetts this December.  I've also heard rumors of TNA running Bound For Glory in Lowell, MA in October, and WWE running John Cena's Last Match December 27th at TD Garden in Boston with a PLE called Ruthless Aggression.  

Some potential cools shows at the end of the year.

Raw the Netflix Era thoughts

 I've been a fan of wrestling and the WWF / WWE my entire life.  I don't have a memory of the first time I watched wrestling, my Dad was a fan and so I have always watched.  My first live wrestling show was June 4, 1989 at the then Cumberland County Civic Center in Portland, Maine.  In the main event "Macho Man" Randy Savage with Sensational Sherri defeated WWF World Champion Hulk Hogan by count-out.

Unlike many my of my friends growing up I never waivered in my fandom of Professional Wrestling.  I've always had collection of wrestling memorabilia, t-shirts, and once I got my license going to live shows, even traveling out of State to attend them.  I've been to the big 4 WWE PPV's, WCW shows, TNA, Ring of Honor, AEW, New Japan Pro Wrestling and numerous Indies.

From the 1980's to today I've watched all the wrestling on TV that I could find, traded tapes back in the day to get wrestling from Japan and Mexico, and at technology has progress streamed my wrestling.  Today we have the capability to watch more wrestling live from around the world than ever before.

Through all of this I have been a fan of the WWF/WWE, was a day 1 subscriber of the WWE Network and subscribe to Peacock now.  While WWE has not always been my favorite flavor of wrestling to watch, I still watched.  

However these last few years their weekly television show have become unwatchable to me.  Smackdown would have moments of greatness but Raw, each time I try I'm disappointed. Their format of their show has become to cater to the casual fan, I don't care about 20 minute promos, and long talking segments, I just want to watching wrestling matches.  The bell to bell in the ring action is what I care about.

I was hyped for the Netflix launch of Raw on January 6, 2025, advertised a WrestleMania caliber show, and for me it was not.  There were 4 matches on the show that ran just over 3 hours and total in ring time was 62 minutes and 28 seconds.  That leaves two hours of commercials, showing celebrities in the crowd and talking segments.  From the end of the women's title match it was 25 minutes before the Drew McIntyre vs. Jey Uso match started, and after 2 minutes they went to a commercial break. 

What's so frustrating and discouraging to me is the promotion I have loved my whole life I can't stomach watching any longer.  I have friends that LOVE the product and think every show is amazing, and I guess good for them, but I can't see how they like it so much.

I will continue to follow what is happening on Raw & Smackdown, watch clips and select matches that I'm interested, and I will watch the "Premium Live Events" because that is where the best matches usually take place even those tend to frustrate me with their long segments between matches.

I'm just not the WWE's primary demographic any longer.  Thankfully for me my choices for alternative wrestling is practically endless.  Not to mention, I can always go back and watch the extensive history of wrestling and classic matches I have access to.  

Thank you for reading, please leave a comment, check out my other posts, and if you want like my blogs Facebook page.  You can also head over to Amazon and pick up a copy of my book the 2024 Limitless Wrestling Almanac, or any of my other books.

2024 My Year in Wrestling!

In my 2023 year in review I stated I was not going to to try to top the 27 events I went to that year this year, but I did as I made it to 34 wrestling related events between shows and wrestling related experiences.  This is also the most events I have ever gone to in one year.  I have no expectations that in 2025 I will go to more, and I'm not going to try.

2024 by the Numbers

34 wrestling events

18 different promotions, 9 first time attending

2 different countries, 4 States, 1 new Province

US: Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, & Pennsylvania

Canada: Quebec City, Quebec

I went to shows in Maine, Mass, & PA last year, however this was the first time I've been to wrestling in New Hampshire since July 19, 2008 when I attended Front Row Wrestling in Rochester, NH.

356 Lifetime events

As I have stated in the past, it might be a bit controversial but when I'm counting my wrestling related events that I attended, I count everything that I went to because of wrestling.  For instance this year I went the Nemeth Brother's comedy show Hunkamania in Philadelphia and I count that as a wrestling related event.

January started out with two shows, the 12th with ¡Let’s Wrestle! debuting at the Fairfield Community Center.  The main event was the first ever Steel Cage match in ¡Let’s Wrestle! as Champion BRG successfully turned back the challenge of Eric Johnson.

On the 20th at Limitless Wrestling in Yarmouth the main event saw an unsanctioned match and the end of MSP as Aiden Aggro pinned The Dangerkid in 49 minutes marking the final match of The DangerKid.  

February featured two events, February 4th was the return of Mariner's Hockey with a wrestling show this time being promoted by the EWA: Eastern Wrestling Alliance.  This was first official EWA event that I have attended since their relaunch.  A stacked card with Dango, Scotty 2 Hotty, Tommy Dreamer, Colt Cabana, Shannon Moore, Heath Miller, Brian Myers and more.  

February 24th I attended Limitless Wrestling in Yarmouth with Ace vs. Sami Callihan in a street fight, and Alec Price vs. Lio Rush in a fantastic match.

March featured 1 event on the 22nd, the NAWA: North Atlantic Wrestling Association benefit show at Mt. Ararat High School in Topsham that had "Mr. USA" Tony Atlas in the main event tag teaming with Cousin Larry.

April featured  14 events two in Maine and the rest in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for IndieMania weekend!  You can read all about our Mania adventures in these 5 blog posts...

More Than Mania: Me with Friends and Wrestlers

Back home in Maine, April 12th I attended NAWA at the Fairfield Community Center, that was a benefit show for the local baseball team and had a 16 person royal rumble style match.  On April 13th Limitless Wrestling in Yarmouth that had a TREMENDOUS match between Gabby Forza and Megan Bayne.  These two are must watch whenever they wrestle each other.

May had one event, back at the Fairfield Community Center on the 4th for ¡Let’s Wrestle! where BRG retained his ¡Let’s Wrestle! Championship in the Main Event against Jason Maverick.

June had one event with Limitless Wrestling on the 23rd, this time in Herman at the Morgan Hill Event Center.  AEW's Bulk Bronson teamed with Gabby Forza to defeat The Cosmic Cuties: Ava & LSG and Channing retained the Limitless Championship against Danhausen in the Maine event.  

July, also one event on the 20th with Limitless Wrestling back in Yarmouth.  The final show before the Vacationland Cup finalized the 4 competitors in the tournament and also saw Limitless Champion Channing Thomas defeat ¡Let’s Wrestle! Champion: BRG to become a double champion.

August 17th Limitless Wrestling presented The 2024 Vacationland Cup at the Colisee in Lewiston featuring their largest crowd to date of over 1,200 fans in attendance. Dezmond Cole, Gabby Forza, Alec Price, and Aaron Rourke all advanced to the finals where Cole emerged as the 2024 Vacationland Cup winner.

  

September featured two events on back to back nights.  The 20th in Worcester, Massachusetts for Big Time Wrestling featuring Sting and the 21st back in Yarmouth for Limitless Wrestling.  Big Time Wrestling was held at Polar Park and it was a pleasant evening outside.  Tommy Dreamer got the win over Channing Thomas, and Teddy Goodz pinned Danny Miles to win the BTW Championship.  Goodz would final wrestling match was that weekend.

Limitless saw their World Championship change hands as Dezmond Cole pinned Channing Thomas in the main event.  Also on the card IWTV Tag Team Champions: Fresh Air defeated fellow Canadians Le Tabernak du Team and Dijak defeated Jake Something in an awesome match.

October 4th I traveled to Palmyra for RINGWARS for their debut shows that featured matches from competing Maine Indie Companies.  On the 26th Limitless Wrestling was in Yarmouth with Fresh Blood that featured Japan based Kyushu Pro wrestlers Jet Wei and Kodai Nozaki as well as the debut of Zilla Fatu.  However the biggest betrayal saw Delmi Exo turn on her Sea Stars partner, and sister Ashley Vox to side with Paris Van Dale.

November I went to 3 events, the first on the 6th in Manchester, New Hampshire for AEW Dynamite at the SNHU Arena.  I wasn't expecting to go to an AEW show this year, they seem to keep happening in New England when I have conflicting plans.  This was their New Hampshire debut, we got a couple dark matches, a Ring of Honor match with Shibata!!  I've always wanted to see him wrestle live and I'm glad I finally was able too.  The live Dynamite was decent with Adam Cole vs. Malachi Black and The Learning Tree vs. The Conglomeration.  

Two days later on the 8th in Lowell, Mass at the Memorial Auditorium for New Japan Pro Wrestling's Fighting Spirit Unleashed.  This was the first wrestling show at the venue since NJPW in September 2019.  This was a FANTASTIC show with great matches, including a title change as the Grizzled Young Vets captured the NJPW Strong Tag Team titles.  I also met Zack Sabre Jr. before the show.

November 29th, Black Friday, I was back at the Fairfield Community Center for my 4th show of the year, and 65th overall at the venue for NAWA.

December finished the year with 4 wrestling related events.  First on the 7th in Quebec City, Quebec at the Museum of Civilization for Lutte: Quebec in the Ring exhibit.  I will be putting together a complete blog on that wonderful exhibit.  That night, also in Quebec City, we attended NSPW: North Shore Pro Wrestling: Final Chapter 2024.  

The show featured Trevor Lee, Stu Grayson  and a whole host of Canadian wrestlers.  You can read about this show in more detail at this blog post: Quebec Wrestling Adventure

December 14th was the final Limitless Wrestling event of the year in Yarmouth featuring the Limitless Rumble!  I love a good Royal Rumble match and this was the first one in Limitless Wrestling, it featured 30 competitors and was won by Channing Thomas.  Also on the show B3CCA made her return filling in for an injured Maggie Lee taking on Kylie Rae and Dezmond Cole defended the Limitless Championship against Calvin Tankman in a tremendous match. 

On the 17th I was back at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium for a double NXT taping.  I was shocked that this show as announced, but very excited to go back to Lowell and my first NXT show.  We sat in the same exact seats that we did for NJPW in November.  They opened with that evenings live show and then after taped next weeks Christmas Eve show.

Before the show we saw the D'Angelo Family across the street at Rizzo's Restaurant doing a pre-tape, we got our pictures taken with them.  On the first episode we got a fantastic Tag Team Title match and a NXT Championship match.  On the second taping I got to see Stephanie Vaquer and Charlie Dempsey wrestle two of my favorites in NXT.  This was a great show to end the year on!

I'm excited for next year and have a couple shows on deck already, 

January 12th: Limitless Wrestling in Herman

January 18th: Limitless Wrestling in Yarmouth
