Limitless Wrestling 11th Anniversary Weekend

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.

Pick Your Poison Tag Team: Aaron Rourke & Charles Mason defeated Limitless World Champion: Gabby Forza and Ace Romero / Maggie Lee when Charles Mason pinned Gabby with a tombstone piledriver

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.

Limitless World Champion: Gabby Forza pinned Aaron Rourke in 26 minutes with the thunder fire driver

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.

Masked Mania Bangor, June 13, 2026

On Saturday night June 13th Masked Mania brought their traveling Lucha Libre show to the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, Maine.  When this show was announced earlier this year I was extremely surprised and excited, but more surprised.

Masked Mania is operated by Masked Republic, a company that started selling Lucha Libre related merchandise and has branched into running Lucha Libre events featuring some fantastic luchadores from the past and present.  However they run in areas like Texas and Colorado where this is a larger Hispanic population, which is not the case in Maine.

I was most excited about the announcement as Sam Adonis wrestles on their shows and he's someone I have enjoyed watching over the years, especially his feud with Psycho clown going back to 2021, it was the best feud going in AAA prior to their purchase by WWE.

My buddies and I all ended up getting the front row VIP that came with early entrance and pre-show meet and greets with 5 wrestlers, lanyard, and event poster.  Being honest, tickets didn't sell well, outside social media pages I didn't see any advertising for it until just a few days before the show.  We kept checking ticketmaster to see how ticket sales were going, and we were concerned they would cancel the show.  I'm very grateful that they didn't.  

I did what I could, I shared the poster and link for tickets on my social media's and in various Facebook groups: Maine, New England, and even Canada has it's only a couple hour drive from Canada to the New Brunswick border.  I wanted the event to succeed because I want them to come back.  I would guess there was maybe 500 - 600 people there, but even set up half house it looks sparce as that is a 2,000 people set up.

Jay, Mikey, Calvin and I met at my house and we loaded in the van for the 75 minute drive north, stopping at Chick Fil A for dinner, 1 of only 2 locations in Maine.  Calvin hadn't been to Maine since 2012 and had never been further north than Portland, so on the way to the venue I drove him past Stephen King's house.

Several wrestlers that were advertised did not appear, Juventud Guerrera, Galena Del Mal, and Ludark, according to Sam Adonis, were all flying from Mexico to Washington DC, then on to Bangor.  They all had flight issues and couldn't get out of DC in time to make it to show.  This would alter the main event that Juvi was advertised in.  Anthony Greene was supposed to team with Sam Adonis against Juvi & Jack Evans, however he tweaked his shoulder on Thursday and wasn't able to appear either.  Everyone else advertised appeared. 

VIP was supposed to be in at 5:30, however we got in at 5:45, once we were all checked in they took us down to the VIP room where we got our poster and lanyard.  Juvi was advertised as 1 of the 5 VIP, they made it up to us and we got 6 in the VIP, Halloween Jr, Mascarita Divina, Vampiro, Psicosis, Ray Lyn and Sam Adonis!

I got my poster signed by all, and cards signed by Vampiro, Psicosis, and Sam Adonis.  What was very cool was Sam recognized me and even introduced my to Ray Lyn as his friend from twitter.  We had a good chat for a few minutes, and Sam as cool as I thought he would be.

We went up to the lobby and after snagging a cool photo in front of their backdrop we headed to the tables as I had a Record Luchas card I wanted to get Jack Evans to sign.  Jack was SUPER cool, he didn't charge anyone and was really into everything that people wanted him to sign.  He had a lot of good to say about Record Luchas, and this guy from Boston had some VERY cool Ring of Honor posters for Jack to sign.  My buddy Roy got Jack and Vampiro to sign a Wrestling Society X DVD case.

We got to our seats and as I mentioned earlier the crowd about 500 - 600 but well spread out in the venue.  I will say from my perspective it was loud crowd that was into the show all night long.  I made the conscious decision that I was going to cheer the technico's and boo the rudo's all night long.  

I have to give all the credit in the world to these guys and gal because they all busted their asses all night long.  This was not taped for TV, you're not going to find the event streaming anywhere, other than one guy filming occasionally with a camera phone set up, this show was for us.  Not a single one of them, from my point of view, was "going through the motions" they made sure everyone that bought a ticket got their moneys worth and we did.

Masked Mania Bangor is my 388th live wrestling event, other than the four local wrestlers, I had only seen one wrestler in person before today and that was Psicosis.  I have watched matches with Vampiro, Sam Adonis, Jack Evans, Halloween Jr. & Ray Lyn, but have never even heard of the other wrestlers that I am aware of.  In each match the wrestlers established very quickly who the technico and who the rudo was, which was important.

The show opened with Vampiro coming out to thanks the fans for coming and talk about his career, he compared Thunder Bay, Ontario to Bangor size wise.  Sam Adonis hit the ring and attacked Vampiro with his flag.  Jack Evans ran out and made the save. 

Tigre W pinned Incindior with a standing Spanish fly

The crowd was hot for this opening and were solidly behind Tigre W and much like myself, for the most part everyone cheered and booed accordingly.  I thought it was great match with some back and forth action and they really showed off that Lucha Libre style that was received well. 

Tigre got the win with an impressive standing Spanish fly.  I was not able to find anything on the internet about Incindior or Tigre W.

Smiley pinned Chris Desmond with a swanton bomb

Smiley is a big fella and he can move, I was impressed with his athleticism.  Smiley is advertised from Maine, so I looked him up as I am pretty knowledgeable about wrestlers from Maine.  Perhaps he was born here, but he is mostly based out of the New York / New Jersey area.  He wrestled on the GCW show as Smiley that was in Maine in November 2025.

Chris Desmond is a student of the Monster Factory debuting in 2021 and wrestling primarily in the New Jersey area.  It was a fun match, there was a spot in the beginning with Ethan's cellphone that Desmond took and then Smiley took from him and they did some moves and reversals filming a video.  It was fun, crowd ate it up.   

23 Hazard & "World Class" Channing Thomas defeated Miracle Ones: Dustin Waller & Ichiban when Channing pinned Ichiban after spike pile driver

Most everyone in the crowd was familiar with these four and they got a great reaction.  They have worked together numerous times as partners and opponents and they are all solid in the ring.  I'm a fan of all of them and have been for a long time.  

I was surprised to see Channing and Hazard get the win.  When it was announced that locals would appear on the show, I knew Ichiban would be on the show as the number 1 luchador in New England.

Blitzkrieg II pinned AMB: Austin Michael Baldridge with a phoenix splash

Before the match AMB came out cut a promo stating he wants to beat the legends of Lucha Libre solidifying himself as the rudo.  Blitzkrieg II made his entrance to great fanfare, and his did some tumbling during his entrance the popped the crowd.  I was excited for a different reason as I know that Jack Evans is Blitzkrieg II, he was given the gimmick in 2004 by the original Blitzkrieg from late 1990's WCW fame.  Evans has not wrestled as Blitzkrieg II since March 2007 so seeing him being the character back was special.

Timing seemed to be a bit off on this one, the crowd was also a bit quieter as they had been hyped the last three matches and needed time to recover, cheering is tiring.   Blitz got the pin with a phoenix splash that was gorgeous.  My buddy Mikey took the video of his entrance.

Chris Nasty & Ultimo Maldito defeated Rayo Star & Anubbis when Maldito pinned Anubbis

This match was excellent!  These four tore it up, and got the crowd hopping once again.  Rayo got the crowd chanting in Spanish, to me it was very traditional Lucha Libre with the quick tags, high flying offence and just visually pleasing all around.  Everyone was great!

Chris Nasty I thought was very impressive.  He is based out of California and trained at the Santino Brothers Wrestling Academy, competing the last 6 years primarily on the West coast.  This was his first time wrestling on the east coast.  I hope Randy brings him in for Limitless.  Maldito has been wrestling for 12 years and is based out of Mexico, but has had several matches on the west coast of the United States as well. 

Rayo Starr has been wrestling 14 years and according to cagematch was trained by the legendary Cynthis Moreno.  He also has wrestled primarily in Mexico with some West Coast US matches.  Anubbis, if I found the right one, seems have been wrestling for 10 years and is based out of Tijuana.

This was a tremendous match!  I didn't take many pictures because I was too busy watching it!

We got a 15 minute intermission that was needed to rest up after that match. 

Ray Lyn & Mascarita Divina defeated Terror Oscuro & Guerrero del Cielo when Ray Lyn pinned Oscuro

This lucha libre to me as well as we have a luchadora and a mini teaming up against a couple rudos.  Divina is based in Mexico City and is a 21 year veteran who has wrestled primarily in Mexico.  Ray Lyn has been wrestling for a dozen years, trained by Al Snow and Nick Dinsmore.  Has wrestled in US, Canada, Japan, and even in China.  She's had 3 matches with AEW and 1 with WWE, with Heather Monroe as Blonde Force Trauma held the BCW Tag Team Championships for 813 days. 

Del Cielo was clearly Chris Nasty and I'm fairly certain Oscuro is Rayo Star.  They didn't hold back at all with Ray and Divina taking a beating.  This match spilled on the floor and around the ring.  It was great and the crowd was really into it!  Lyn got the pin on Oscuro.

Main Event: Vampiro & Jack Evans defeated Sam Adonis & Halloween Jr. by pinfall with a double school boy that saw Vampiro pin Sam Adonis and Evans pin Halloween Jr. 

Vampiro was the surprise tag team partner for Evans and it popped the crowd.  I had found before the show that Vampiro was going to come out of his near two month retirement to wrestle in the main event.  I messaged Roy Lucier, the biggest Lucha fan that I know letting him know as I knew it was surprise him.

The crowd was up for this one, and the action started on the outside of the ring as Adonis and Halloween jumped them.  They brawled around the ring and through the stands.  The finally made it back to the ring and even tagged in and out a bit until Vamp and Jack rolled the rudos up for the double pin to send the fans home happy.  I loved the match, Sam is awesome watching him work the crowd and control the flow of the match was fun for me.

I had never seen Vampiro wrestle in person before and thought I never would.  I loved the match for what it was.  It was my favorite match of the night because I got to see Sam and Vampiro wrestle live.

After the match Vampiro said a few words, asked if we wanted Masked Mania to comeback, I mean hell yeah I do, but I can't imagine they will.  If they do, they should really run in the Portland area.

It was such an awesome show, like I said everyone busted their asses to make sure we got a great show.  If  they are in your area, don't miss out, buy a ticket, go yell and scream and have a good time.

For those wondering these are the two matches I had seen Psicosis wrestle in before tonight.  Incidentally he made and appearance in the VIP and then a merch table before the show, but that was it.  He didn't come out during the show and didn't work the gimmick table again.

June 9, 1997 WCW Monday Nitro in Boston, Ultimo Dragon, Super Calo, & Juventud Guerrera defeated Psicosis, Silver King, & La Parka and

December 5, 2005 WWE Smackdown House Show Lewiston Colisee, Maine, WWE Tag Team Champions: MNM:  Johnny Nitro & Joey Mercury w/ Melina defeated The Mexicools: Psicosis & Super Crazy

I'm very happy for my pals Ethan, Greenleaf, and Gina who got to work the show, Ethan as the ring announcer and Greenie and Gina as the only two referees.

We hit the road stopping at Dysarts for drinks and snacks.  I was in my home just after 11pm which isn't bad at all.  Of course, first thing I did when I got home from wrestling, was to watch more wrestling.
