Limitless Wrestling Built For Speed June 20, 2026

Saturday June 20, 2026 Limitless Wrestling was back at it in Portland, Maine, and at a new venue Live At Madrid's!  Built for Speed featured the debut of former WWE & TNA World Champion and AAA Mega Champion Nic Nemeth, (Dolph Ziggler).


Live At Madrid's is a concert venue located on Fore Street in Portland, that just opened this year on Friday March 13, 2026.  It can hold up to 800 people for it's GA Standing room only shows.  It's a nice venue, the event area is large and rectangle with the stage at one end.  There is a separate larger room with the bar, however other than packaged snacks there is no food.

I get anxious on show days waiting around the house to go to wrestling.  Once I did head out I saw a message from Roy, he and Randy's mom were heading down to the show and had vehicle issues so I picked them up at the Exit 43 quick stop.  Roy and I haven't traveled together to a wrestling show in a long time, so it was nice to chat wrestling with him in the van.  We got the venue and unloaded the van, I then found parking, more on that later.  We helped Marsali get everything set up with merch and chatted with everyone before show time.  VIP doors were at 530, doors at 6pm, bell time 7pm.


This is show 389 lifetime, 10th show of 2026, let's get to the matches:

LJ Cleary pinned Jack Morris
The battle of the Good Looking Guys right here in Portland, Maine!  Before the match Jack cut a promo playing off that he is from Scotland and how the Scotland Tartan Army has taken over New England with the World Cup at Gillette Stadium.  He then turned on LJ calling him the weak link the group and attacked him before the bell.  It was a fun match with Jack getting the better of LJ at the beginning of the match. LJ battled back and finished a flurry of offense with an Irish Goodbye for the pin. 




GLG was a faction in Japan's Pro Wrestling NOAH that started in January 17, 2023 with founding members Anthony Greene, Jack Morris, and Jake Lee.  Later Tadasuke, YO-HEY, and LJ Cleary was the last member to join.  The group disbanded on July 13, 2024 at NOAH Destination 2024 when Jake Lee, Tadasuke, & YO-HEY defeated AG, Jack Morris and LJ in a six-man tag.  Jake Lee then joined Bullet Club War Dogs and left the promotion.

Fatal Four Way: Daron Richardson defeated Daphne DeVille, Ace Romero, & DJ Springs pinning DeVille with a handful of tights.

DJ Springs was making his Limitless debut in this match.  Very solid fatal four way with action all over the place, as expected.  I thought Daphne was going to take the win in the one, however Daron rolled her up and with a handful of tights secured the 3 count.  This was Daron's 5th appearance in Limitless and his first win.

Jada Stone & Gabby Forza defeated B3: Aaron Ortiz & Anthony Vecchio when Gabby pinned Anthony with a fire thunder driver

Gabby was Jada's surprise partner for the match.  This was  a terrific match, as you would expect because all 4 of these wrestlers are excellent!  If you know me you know I love Gabby, Jada is excellent, so quick in the ring and just a speed demon, TNA should do more with her.  



I want to talk about the Shooter Boys.  They are wicked friggin good! I mean they make EVERYONE they are in the ring with look better because of their effort.  It's hard to believe they have only been wrestling for 2 years.  Everyone needs to watch these guys, if they stay together they will set fire in tag team wrestling, I have no doubt about it! 

Nic Nemeth pinned Anthony Greene

I thought this was a fantastic match, AG's left leg is a bit stove up and as I knew this and it made me a bit nervous watching it.  Match started with Rich taking 70 seconds to announce Nemeth and his accomplishments.  Some funny business the start the match, and then it turned serious and highly competitive.  Nemeth hit near a dozen elbow drops on Greene at one point, which I had never seen before.  Nemeth got the pin after his second zig zag after near 17 minutes of action.



At Intermission time I was able to get Jack to sign my NOAH programs and I got a photo with all three members of GLG at the show.


VLC Qualifying Match: Aiden Aggro with J-Heru defeated 23 Hazard by count-out
Man the crowd hates Hazard, with a passion! Hazard was the aggressor through the match, the action spilled to the floor.  Where Hazard has Aggro down, but got distracted arguing with the crowd and wasn't listening the referee Eric Greenleaf's count with Aggro just beating the count back into the ring.

Post match Hazard cut a promo stating he wasn't leaving the ring until he qualified for the Vactionland Cup.  A man in a Bluye Demon mask slid in the ring revealing himself to be Scotty 2 Hotty and attacked Hazard from behind.  He then challenged Hazard to any type of no rules match at VLC.


Limitless World Champion: Donovan Dijak pinned Bear Bronson
VERY hard hitting match, I mean these two beat the crap out of each other.  They fought on the floor and around the ring through the crowd.  They even went up on the stage where Dijak hit Bear with a DDT on the stage that sounded terrible.  Dijak hit feast your eyes on a chair for the pin.





Post match Dijak tried to continue the attack only the be stopped by Gabby Forza.  Gabby then challenged Dijak for a title match at VLC. 

Very solid show from the first bell to the last!

The show looked very cool with the lighting set up and the sound system is top notch.  It gave me a studio wrestling feel and I dug it.  The lighting, however, was not great for photos with my phone from where I was watching, as you can see.  There did have seating on two sides of the ring and the stage had seats as well.  I was standing next to the stage behind the seats and I like my view.  My buddy Ben was on the far side of the venue with only standing room and he said he couldn't see very well.


My only complaint of the venue is as they do not have their own lot you are stuck with city parking which is horrible overpriced.  My buddy Mikey parked in the garage and it cost him $60.  There is three different metered parking areas, one is a flat $15 all day and that was full, the other is $30 for the first 3 hours and $5 for each hour after, it would have cost me $50 to park there, I was lucky and found a street parking spot at $2 an hour, but no fee after 6pm, so it only cost me $4 to park.

Next up for Limitless is Friday July 17th for Crunch Time, and on Saturday August 8th for the Vacationland Cup.  Tickets are available for both shows on www.limitlesswrestling.com

Roy's Review: Beyond Wrestling Americanrana 2017



Here is my review of the Beyond Wrestling's Americanrana Matinee Show at The White Eagle in Worcester, Massachusetts on July 30, 2017.

Match 1: Brian Milonas defeated Ace Romero
Solid big man match but I enjoyed their match at Paying Paul back in January better. There were a few awkward spots and the Vader Bomb finish was very anticlimactic. Despite that, this was a solid match that saw the action spill to the floor early. Good match to open up the day of wrestling.
7/10

In Ring: Cam Zagami comes out and says that this is AmeriCAMrana. He then makes fun of the crowd and issues an open challenge. Good promo.

Match 2: Josh Briggs defeated Cam Zagami
This was pretty much a quick squash. Briggs got the win with an Inverted Crucifix Powerbomb.
4/10

Match 3: Tracy Williams defeated Mikey Webb
Good match. Mikey Webb had dreads which was really weird. People kept making fun of him and for good reason. I wasn't sure if Webb would be able to keep up with Williams' technical style but I was pleasantly surprised. They both fought hard but in the end Williams got the win with a brutal piledriver.
7.5/10

In Ring: Dan Barry, Ryan Galone, Mike Verna and Rex Lawless come out. Barry says that since Lawless is injured, Verna is his replacement. Barry then issues an open challenge to any serious 6 man team. Out comes The Secret City Soldiers: Da Hoodz and Anthony Stone. Barry then makes fun of them and says that Anthony Stone hasn't been relevant in Beyond Wrestling since 2012. Barry says that his guys don't need him to win so it will be a handicap match.

Match 4: Ryan Galone & Mike Verna w/Dan Barry and Rex Lawless defeated The Secret City Soldiers: Da Hoodz: Davey Cash & Kris Pyro and Anthony Stone in a 2 on 3 Handicap Match.
Solid match with Pyro taking a massive beating. When he finally tagged out they had a ton of fast paced offence including a double coast to coast from Pyro and Stone on Galone while Cash hit a running dropkick at the some time. This was pretty sick. The end came when Stone went to break up Verna trying to powerslam both Pyro and Cash but Lawless hit him with a crutch behind the referee's back allowing Galone to toss Stone on the pile and Verna powerslammed them all for the win.
6.75/10

Match 5: Jay Freddie defeated Rory Gulak
I wasn't really sure if this would be a good match or not. Jay Freddie has become on of my favorite guys to watch but Rory Gulak on the other hand hasn't really done much for me since he stopped doing deathmatches. I was impressed with this match though. Gulak showed that he could more than keep up with Freddie in a techincal battle. The match turned to a hard hitting battle towards the end with Gulak taking a very brutal suplex on the ring apron. Freddie got the win with a Fisherman's Suplex.
7.75/10

Match 6: Tom Lawlor w/His Corner Man defeated Bobby Fish
This match had way to much MMA type stuff for my liking but it did turn out to be a solid match. It looks like Lawlor could become another of the MMA guys to transition well into pro wrestling. Lawlor kept going for a rear naked choke throughout the match but Fish kept getting out until the end when he passed out to one and the referee stopped the match.
6.75/10

Match 7: Brandon Watts defeated AR Fox with Shynron as the special referee
This was an awesome match and by far the best on the matinee show. Tons of action all over the place with it spilling to the floor a bunch of times. Fox went to use a chair but referee Kevin Quinn came out and prevented it. Fox shoved Quinn who ripped off his referee shirt and punched Fox allowing Watts to almost get a win with a school boy. Lots more back and forth action followed until Watts his a frog splash elbow for the win. Check this match out its really good.
9/10

In Ring: Shynron congratulates Brandon Watts on his win and puts him over. He then challenges Watts to a match and Watts accepts.

Overall this show scored a 48.75 out of 70 for an overall score of 69.64%. This was solid show with a ton of good wrestling. The main event really stood out as being the best match and is worth the price of the DVD alone. I'm looking forward to the Brandon Watts vs. Shynron match. That should be awesome.



Here is my review of Beyond Wrestling's Americanrana on July 30, 2017 at The White Eagle in Worcester, Massachusetts

Match 1: Team PAWG: Lufisto & Jordynne Grace defeated Doom Patrol: Chris Dickinson & Jaka

Holy Shit, what a crazy match. Grace took a vicious beat down early with Dickinson hitting a brutal German Suplex on her. When Grace finally got the tag the crowd erupted. Many violent looking moves from both teams. In the end Team PAWG got the surprising win with their running double hip attack move on Jaka. The crowd was super into this match and it was an excellent choice for the opener. One of the best inter gender matches I have ever seen.
8.5/10

In Ring: Chris Dickinson says that without Beyond Wrestling he wouldn't be where he is in his career. He then puts over the fans. Then he makes a toast to Beyond Wrestling with Jaka.

Match 2: Jonathan Gresham defeated Brian Cage
I wasn't to sure about this match. Mainly because I'm getting sick of seeing Gresham in the underdog roll against a guy twice his size, but I was pleasantly surprised. Gresham took a beating until he was able to get a hold of Cage's leg. At that point he did a great job of working the leg. This match was solid throughout until the ending. It was very abrupt with Gresham rolling through a submission attempt into a small package for the win.
7.75/10

Match 3: Jon Silver defeated JT Dunn
What an awesome match. I was really looking forward to this one and it blew away my expectations. Many sick spots and Dunn played a excellent hell. Check this match out, you won't be disappointed.
10/10

Match 4: Chuck Taylor w/Orange Cassidy defeated Swoggle in a TLC Match
This match was crazy right from the get to with Swoggle eating chair in the face right as the bell sounded. Now I'm not really into comedy wrestling but I really enjoyed this one. It saw Massage NV, Johnny Cockstrong, The Swamp Monster, Stan Stylez and Dick Justice get involved. Even Trent Barreta came to photo the chaos. Then end came when Taylor hit a piledriver into a bunch of tacks then he rolled up Swoggle for the win. Check this out its some great comedy wrestling.
7/10

Match 5: EYFBO: Angel Ortiz & Mike Draztik defeated The Lucha Bros: Rey Fenix & Pentagon Jr
Awesome match. Tons of high flying from both teams. Draztik and Penta had some vicious chop exchanges. Check this match out it's excellent. You won't be disappointed!
9.75/10

Match 6: David Starr defeated Donovan Dijak
Very good match here. Great leg work by Starr with some great selling by Dijak. Great back and forth action with a bunch of near falls. Near the end Starr took he microphone and dragged Dijak through the mud calling him a sell out. Dijak then came back with a Feast Your Eyes but only got 2. Starr then hit a brainbuster on his knee then an arm clenched german suplex for the win.
8.5/10

In Ring: David Starr puts over Dijak huge, saying that when Biff Busick left Dijak stepped up and filled the void. He went on to say that he was honored to wrestle Dijak and that Dijak is his favorite wrestler. He then gave him well wishes. Dijak took the microphone and said that his last match for Beyond Wrestling will be on August 13th and it will be against Walter.

Match 7: RPG Vice: Trent Barreta & Rocky Romero defeated Da Hit Squad: Dan Maff & Monsta Mack
This was good very heated battle, especially between Monsta Mack and Trent Barreta. For some reason they hate each other. These guys battled hard and all over place with the fight spilling to the floor. The end came when RPG Vice hit a Dudebuster/Double Stomp for the win.
8.25/10

In Ring: Trent Barreta wanted to shake hands with Monsta Mack but when Mack went to shake hands he spit in Trent's face instead.

Match 8: Joey Janela w/Penelope Ford defeated Matt Riddle
Good main event and much better than I expected. I wasn't really sure how the 2 totally different styles would work together but they did. I don't care for Riddle at all but he impressed me in this one. Janela hit some sick spots, a moonsault to the outside, and he even attempted a somersault onto the apron but Riddle moved and Janela smashed his ass. How he didn't break his tailbone is beyond me. Surprisingly Janela got the win with a Crippler Crossface making Riddle tap out.
8.25/10

This show scored a 68 out of 80 for an overall score of 85% What an awesome show. One of the best I have ever seen live. Everyone fought very hard and put forth their best efforts. Silver vs. Dunn was unbelievable and the intergender tag match was completely insane. When this comes out on DVD do yourself a favor and buy it. You won't be disappointed.

Roy's Review: Limitless Wrestling "Can We Kick It" April 28, 2017


Here is my review of Limitless Wrestling's Can We Kick It in Portland, Maine on April 28, 2017.

Match 1: Lio Rush defeated Jon Silver
Awesome match and an excellent opener. These guys destroyed each other trading brutal kicks. It seemed a little short but they filled the time they had with a ton of action.
9/10

Match 2: The Maine State Posse: Danger Kid & Aidan Aggro defeated Massage NV: VSK & Dorian Graves,  and Jeremy Leary & Skylar in a Triple Threat Match
Good match that had lots of fast paced action with a little comedy thrown in. Randomly during the match Leary body slammed Chris Barry. Massage NV kept trying to give a massage to Leary and he kept getting pissed. Later in the match Skylar volunteer for a massage but got stomped instead. After the match Danger Kid was really pissed at Leary and Skylar for some reason.
8/10

Match 3: Joey Janela defeated Mr. Grim
This was my first time seeing Janela actually wrestle and I was impressed. He had a great match with Mr. Grim. I was a little disappointed I didn't get to see the jumping tombstone but that's okay because the match was really good.
8/10

Match 4: Brandon Watts vs. Tyler Nitro w/Mike Gamble
This was a solid match but I kinda expected more. There was a bunch of problems between Nitro and Gamble. Gamble was trying to help Nitro but he didn't want the help. In the end Gamble caused Nitro to lose. After the match they had some words.
7/10

Match 5: Donovan Dijak defeated Mikey Webb
Awesome match. The best Mikey Webb singles match I have ever seen. Lots of hard hitting power moves and some ringside brawling as well. Check this out its really good.
9/10

Match 6: Ethan Page defeated David Starr
Another good match. These guys fought really hard. The more I see both of these guys, the more they grow on me. I was kind surprised to see Page get the win.
8/10

Match 7: Jay Freddie defeated Chris Dickinson
Awesome match. These guys beat the hell out of each other. Jay Freddie is one of the most underrated guys on the indys right now. This match was really even with both guys answer the others moves. The finish was kinda dumpy only because Barry fucked up the count which really pissed off Dickinson. Check this match out, its really good.
9/10

Match 8: Troy Nelson defeated Dick Justice w/Sidney Bakabella
If your into comedy matches, which I'm not, then you might have enjoyed this. I could do without ever seeing Dick Justice again. Almost no wrestling in this one. It really wasn't for me.
3/10

Match 9: Xavier Bell defeated Dan Barry, Josh Briggs, Jimmy Lloyd, Alexander Lee, Manny Martinez, Kai Katana and Owen Brody in an 8 Man Scramble Match
This match was really fun because there was action all over the place the entire time. Josh Briggs really impressed me. I hope he comes back. Bell got the win his sick piledriver finisher.
7.5/10

Match 10: Ace Romero defeated Michael Elgin
Great main event. These guys beat the hell out of each other with tons of hard strikes. Romero took everything Elgin had and then some. In end Ace got the win after a Boss Man Slam variation. Check this one out its great.
9/10

This show scored 77.5 out of 100 for an overall score of 77.5%. This is one of the best shows I have ever seen live and it may be the best Limitless Wrestling show in its short history. There are 3 matches rated 9/10 and there was only 1 stinker, but that really depends on taste in wrestling. Do yourself a favor and buy this DVD when it comes out. It will be worth every cent.

Roy's Review: NEW King of Bethany 11/12/2016

Here is my review of Northeast Wrestling's King of Bethany on November 12, 2016 in Bethany, Connecticut.


Match 1: Donovan Dijak defeated Jimmy Preston to advance in the King of Bethany Tournament
This was really kinda average and slightly boring. Dijak is awesome and Preston is solid but for some reason they just didn't click.
5.75/10

In Ring: Ron Zombie comes out and says that he was injured in a Final Deletion Match with Matt
Hardy vs. Team Sazaam the week before and he blames it on Dan De Man.

Match 2: Vinny Marseglia defeated Keith Youngblood to advance in the King of Bethany Tournament
Solid match. A good match from Marsgelia. It looked like Youngblood was going to win but in the end Vinny got the win after a Swanton Bomb.
7/10

Match 3: Big Jym Anderson defeated Sully Banger w/The Warlock
This was a quick squash
2/10

In Ring: Big Jym Anderson says that since Ron Zombie is out of the tournament, that means there is an open spot to face Wrecking Ball Legursky. Wrecking Ball comes out but is kind of hesitant. Anderson then calls him Wrecking No Balls. Wrecking Ball then accepts the challenge.

Match 4: Wrecking Ball Legursky w/Marshall McNeil fought Big Jym Anderson to a double DQ in a King of Bethany Tournament Match
This was quick but they beat the hell out of each other. They continued to fight after the bell until Legursky hit a World's Strongest Slam and left.
3/10

Match 5: Flip Gordon defeated Mike Bennett to advance in the King of Bethany Tournament
Good match with Bennett working Flip's arm for a portion of the match. A good comeback for Flip with a few false finishes. Flip got the surprise upset win with a springboard superkick.
8/10

Match 6: TK O'Ryan defeated Warbeard Hanson to become #1 Contender to the Northeast Wrestling Championship
Great match that spilled to the floor early. Lots of great back and forth action. Hanson tweeked his knee early and TKO took advantage of that by getting a submisson win with the Glue Factory. These two guys put on a hell of a match.
9/10

Ringside: Vik Delicious and Ant Battle come out from the back fighting. Hale Collins comes out and he helps Delicious double team Battle until Chris Battle comes out with chairs and chases off The Now.

Match 7: Flip Gordon defeated Donovan Dijak to advance in the King of Bethany Tournament
Solid match that saw Flip take a vicious chokeslam on the ring apron, then get dominated by Dijak. Flip got another surprise upset win, this time with a West Coast Pop. After the bell Dijak wrecked Flip with a Feast Your Eyes.
7/10

Match 8: Mark Shurman defeated Scotty Slade by DQ
This was the battle of former Team Friendship partners. This only lasted a few minutes and was really average. The DQ came when Donovan Dijak came out and attacked Shurman until Jimmy Preston chased off Slade and Dijak. Apparently in NEW Slade is a member of The American Destroyers.
3/10

In Ring: NEW Champion Brian Anthony and his manager Steve Stamos came to the ring for a championship celebration. Stamos had a video package created for Anthony. They put each other over for a few minutes then a cake is brought out. TK O'Ryan comes out and says he wants some of the cake. TKO then gets a ton of cheap pops until he goes in the ring and jams Stamos into the cake.

Flip Gordon
 Match 9: Flip Gordon defeated Vinny Marseglia to win the King of Bethany Tournament
Good main event with Flip playing the underdog very well. Vinny introduced a chair but the referee took it away allowing Flip to get the advantage for a few minutes. Vinny hit a Swanton Bomb and surprisingly Flip kicked out. Flip then hit a 450 Splash but Vinny kicked out. Flip then hit a Corkscrew splash off the top for the win.
8.5/10

Overall this show scored a 53.25 out of 90 for an overall score of 59.16%. I have always enjoyed the tournament format and this show was no different. There were some bad matches but also some really good ones. Check this show out for the great performances by Flip Gordon as well as O'Ryan vs. Hanson.

Roy's Review: Beyond Wrestling 1/28/2017 Robbing Peter



Here is my review of Beyond Wrestling's Robbing Peter on January 28 in Somerville, Mass:

Match 1: The Secret City Soldiers: Anthony Stone, Davey Cash and Kris Pyro defeated Biff's Kids: Ace Romero, Xavier Bell and Sully Banger 
This was kind of a squash to put over the Secret City Soldiers. Biff's Kids fought hard but they didn't really last long. For reasons I don't understand Sully Banger was kind of over with the crowd. I've seen him wrestle 3 or 4 times now and I just don't see it.
5.75/10

Match 2: OI4K: Dave and Jake Crist and Scarlet & Graves: Dezmond Xavier and Zachary Wentz w/JT Davidson defeated Team New England Pro Wrestling Academy: Elias Markopoulous, Mikey Webb, Scotty Slade and Christian Cassanova
Good match with lots of high flying stuff all over the place. Many crazy spots. The Crist's got the win with a double stomp tombstone.
7.75/10

Match 3: LuFisto and Jordynne Grace defeated Davienne and Belmont w/Sammi Lane
This was nothing more than a squash. Belmont took a vicious powerbomb on the ring apron leaving Davienne to get annihilated.
3/10

In Ring: Veda Scott comes out with Ryan Galeone for her scheduled match with Sonya Strong but Strong wasn't there. Veda then challenges anyone man or women to a match but nobody comes out.

Match 4: Ryan Galeone w/Veda Scott defeated Warbeard Hanson
Good big man match. Galeone is a very talented as a wrestler but has the personality of a rock. Hanson on the other hand is really growing on me. Veda Scott got involved many times in this match. Galeone got the surprise with with a dead-lift powerbomb that looked kind of weak.
7/10

Match 5: JT Dunn defeated Brian Milonas 
Good match with JT playing the underdog and taking a ton of damage early on but came back to get the win with a roaring elbow to a downed Milonas. I can't say it enough, Milonas is an awesome 400 lbs wrestler. Why he never made outside of the New England area before this year is beyond me.
7.5/10

In Ring: JT Dunn says that he is the best in Beyond Wrestling and everyone is gonna find that out. He says that he isn't going to leave until he beats the hell out of Dave Cole. JT goes over to Cole's paintings and trashes them. Cole gets pissed and tries to attack JT with the pointed end of a bunch of paint brushes but it gets broken up. Rich Palladino then announces that Cole vs. Dunn the next night in Worcester is now No DQ.

Match 6: EYFBO: Angel Ortiz and Mike Draztik defeated The Pretty Boy Killers: Keith Lee and Shane Taylor
Good match with EYFBO playing the underdogs. They have become one of my favorite tag teams. They are great wrestlers and are very entertaining. The crowd really loves Keith Lee but I am over him. He just doesn't really do it for me.
7.25/10

Match 7: Massage NV: Dorian Graves and VSK defeated Alpha Sigma Sigma: Big Daddy Beluga and Anthony Greene w/Patty Boom Boom the Blow up Doll
This was a comedy match and not a very good one at that. I don't like comedy matches which made me not like this one even more. Greene was wrestling in street clothes which was weird and I can more than do without the Big Daddy Beluga gimmick. Massage NV popped the Blow up Doll with popped the crowd.
2/10

Match 8: Joey Janela w/Penelope Ford defeated David Starr, Jonathan Gresham and Jon Silver in a Fatal 4 Way
Good match but seemed kind of rushed. Some fast paced action but was way to short. I would have enjoyed at least another 10 minutes. Janela got the win with a tombstone on Starr then stole Starr's WXW Shotgun Title.
7/10

Match 9: The American Wolves: Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards defeated Da Hit Squad: Dan Maff and Monsta Mack
I really enjoy Da Hit Squad and they put on a good performance here and did the Wolves. Good back and forth action with both teams beating the hell out of each other. There was a very scary spot where Monsta Mack went for a suplex on the second rope on Richards but seemed to lose his balance and they fell to floor hitting the ring steps on the way down. Fortunately both men were fine and continued the match. The Wolves got the win with a brainbuster/spin kick combo.
8/10

Match 10: Brian Cage defeated Donovan Dijak
Good main event with a great mix of power moves and high flying. The story going in was that Dijak had lost his last few matches and wanted to avenge his loses but Matt Riddle is the only one left in Beyond that he lost to. He wanted to fight Riddle but Riddle wasn't there and was fighting Cage the next night, so Dijak challenged Cage and was going to destroy him so he couldn't fight Riddle and Dijak would take his place. It didn't end that way because Cage got the very hard fought win with a suplex screwdriver. After the match Mikey Webb came out to check on Dijak. Dijak then took the mic but wouldn't talk because he lost yet again.
8.75/10

Overall this show scored a 64 out of 100 for a 64%. This show is worth checking out. There are some dumpy matches but the good more than out weighted the bad. The main event lived up to what I expected and Dunn vs. Milonas surprised me.

Roy's Review: Limitless Wrestling Unreal 1/27/2017



Here is my review of Limitless Wrestling's Unreal.

Match 1: Flip Gordon defeated Jon Silver
Good match and a great choice for the opener. Great fast paced action that got the crowd going.
8/10

Match 2: The Maine State Posse: Danger Kid and Aidan Aggro defeated Tyler Nitro and Cam Zagami w/Mike Gamble
Good tag match. MSP is ever improving and is super over. I like Tyler Nitro but I'm still not quite sure about Zagami
7/10

Match 3: Troy Nelson defeated Mike Gamble w/Cam Zagami
This didn't really do it for me. I would have much rather seen Nelson battle someone better than Gamble
3/10

Match 4: Connor Murphy defeated Anthony Gangone
This was a solid match. I was very surprised that Murphy won. I like Murphy and would like to see him become a regular. Gangone on the other hand, I still don't like him. He plays a great asshole heel but other than that he just doesn't do it for me
7/10

Match 5: Veda Scott defeated Tessa Blanchard
Great women's match and potentially the best women's match in Limitless Wrestling so far. I really enjoy Veda Scott as she is a solid wrestler and a great heel. Blanchard is a very talented wrestler and it baffles me that she isn't in NXT
8.25/10

Match 6: Ace Romero and Anthony Greene defeated The American Destroyers: Donovan Dijak and Mikey Webb
Absolutely excellent! So many unbelievable spots. I don't understand how Webb didn't injure himself lifting Ace and the Canadian Destroyer from Dijak on Ace was sick.
10/10

Match 7: Brian Milonas defeated Warbeard Hanson, Max Smashmaster and Big Daddy Beluga in a Fatal 4 Way
Solid big guy match. I really enjoy Milonas. Warbeard is growing on me and I could really go either way on Smashmaster. Beluga on the other hand needs to stop using that gimmick. It was funny the first time but now I'm sick of it and kinda groan when he comes out now
7/10

Match 8: David Starr defeated Xavier Bell
Good match. One of the best Xavier Bell matches yet. How Starr didn't get injured when he crashed into the chairs next to me is beyond me - note: he damaged the chair my cousin was sitting in - ML
7.75/10

Match 9: Skylar defeated Jeremy Leary
I don't like Leary. I don't know why I just don't. I was really disappointed when the Minute Men couldn't make it cause that would have been a bad ass tag match. What we got was okay. A much better story to the match than Ricochet vs. Tessa Blanchard at Beyond Wrestling's Midas Touch. The tombstone spot was really scary
6.75/10

Match 10: Mike Graca defeated Adam Booker
Really cool entrance for Graca. Other than that really kinda average. Just like all of Adam Booker's other matches in Limitless
6/10

Match 11: JT Dunn defeated Cody Rhodes
Great main event. I had never seen Cody go like this before. JT proved why he is one of the best in New England. Just a great match
9/10

Overall this show scored a 79.75 out of 110 for a 72.5% score. Top to bottom this was just an awesome show. I enjoyed everything except for the Nelson vs. Gamble match. That didn't really need to happen. Ace and Greene vs. Dijak and Webb was unreal and Dunn vs. Rhodes was a great wrestling match. I would recommend this show to anyone who likes wrestling.

Limitless Wrestling: "Unreal" report 1/27/2017


Friday January 27, 2017 Limitless Wrestling presented Unreal featuring "American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes at the Armory in Westbrook, Maine.  Tickets practically sold out in advance which is unheard of for independent wrestling in Maine.

Canaan, Paul, Alex, & I made the drive south looking forward to a great night of wrestling action.  We met Roy, Mickey, Cheryl and others at the venue.  VIP was supposed to be let in at 6:15 but doors didn't open until a little after 6:30.

We claimed out seats and then got in line for Cody Rhodes, we were at the front.  Cody was so friendly and took the time to speak to everyone.  He saw my son stuck his hand to shake Canaan's and asked him how he was doing.  I asked him about wrestling at the Tokyo Dome for Wrestle Kingdom 11 and he said it was ten of the best minutes of his life.


Now I've meet a lot of "big name" wrestlers and for most of them that would of been the end of the conversation because the question was answered and he had a line ahead of him.  Instead he kept on talking about the show telling me a story about his entrance for the match.  The general consensus I got from everyone that night was how nice Cody is.


Next up Canaan and I got our picture with Tess Blanchard, third generation wrestler and daughter of one of my all time favorites Tully Blanchard.  I had gotten a photo with her previously at the Boston Pro Wrestling Marathon so I had her sign that one.


Once the General Admission crowd was let in the building really filled up.  Randy even sold some standing room only tickets so you could definitely say it was a sell out.  The show started late, but for good reason, people were still in line to meet Cody and other wrestlers.

Jon Silver defeated Flip Gordon
Great match between these two to get the crowd going that earned a standing ovation when it was over.  Silver is such a powerhouse that you forget that he's short.  Flip is one of my favorites to watch.  I'd really like to see him against someone like Ricochet or Matt Sydal who are both March 17th when Limitless returns to Westbrook.


Maine State Posse defeated Cam Zagami & Tyler Nitro w/ Mike Gamble
The Posse continue to improve and are over with the crowd.  I like the team of Zagami and Nitro and I think they have a chance at being a great tag team.  But they are already teasing hostility and dissension between the two.


Troy Nelson pinned Mike Gamble
Zagami issued an open challenge for anyone to fight Gamble and out came Top Shelf fresh from the commentary booth drink in hand.  Match was very quick with Nelson getting the pin on Gamble after Zagami accidentally superkicked him.



"Celtic" Connor Murphy pinned "The Rogue" Anthony Gangone
I forget how good Murphy is at times.  I know he's been wrestling for almost 15 years but the last few years I believe it's been sporadically, and yet he's still really good in the ring.  The more I see Gangone the more I like him. I hope he continues coming to Limitless.

Veda Scott pinned Tessa Blanchard
These two ladies put on a hell of a match, it didn't get the reaction that it deserved from those in attendance.  They both worked hard with with Veda getting the win after poking Blanchard in the eye when the ref was trying to separate them in the ropes and hitting her finish.





Anthony Greene & Ace Romero defeated American Destroyers: Donovan Dijak & Mikey Webb
This was the match of the night hands down!  First off you have Greene & Romero's entrance to Take Me Home Tonight with live guitar accompaniment that had a large part of the audience singing along.  The match it self was fantastic!  I don't know if I have the words, but the four of them started slow and picked up the pace to a tremendous level.  I feel like they went 30 minutes until Greene got the pin on Dijak after a 450 splash.





Intermission followed which was needed as the emotional ride this previous match had taken us on, we needed the break.  During the break I ran into a guy, I can't recall his name, who commented he was  fan the podcast which was really cool and unexpected.


I took this photo of Tessa at intermission posing with the Shimmer tag team championship.

"Kingpin" Brian Milonas defeated Warbeard Hanson, Big Daddy Beluga, & Max Smashmaster
Great big man match that had Hanson come off the top rope to the floor on the other three competitors.  Post match Hanson leveled Milonas with a spin kick


David Starr pinned Xavier Bell
This was billed as a WXW Shotgun Championship match.  Starr came to the ring without the title stating that Bell didn't deserve a title match, but if he beat him then would get a title match in March.  Typically in this circumstance Bell would get the win, but that didn't happen.




My first time seeing Starr in person and I am now a huge fan!  He's really great in the ring and uses subtle humor while maintaining being a heel.  I really want to see him back in March.

Skylar pinned Jeremy Leary

This was initially booked as a tag match with these two teaming against The M1nute Men.  However Devin Blaze was injured in a car crash.  Leary and Skylar are in real life a couple which they used in the match.  The match was ok, really scary moment when Skylar hit Leary with a tombsone piledriver.


Mike Graca pinned Adam Booker
This was an open challenge match that Graca answered.  Bad ass entrance for Grace with a sally port door opening and an ambulance backed partially into the building with Graca coming out of the back.  Great match a couple scary moments with Booker suplexing Graca from the floor onto the edge of the ring and Graca tombstone piledriving Booker.  I really like both these guys, Booker for years, and want to see them on every show.



JT Dunn pinned "American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes
I was surprised that Dunn got the win as many were.  I've noticed a trend in independent wrestling where promotions are seemingly working together to tell stories for those traveling headliners.  Which is pretty cool when you think about it.





Top to bottom it was an awesome night of wrestling.  The final match ended at 11:40pm, we hit the Burger King drive thru, grabbed a polar pop at the Circle K and headed north.  By the time we got home I was spent and ready for bed.

Last year I only made it to six shows and I've already got 4 shows planned out in the first six months of 2017.  Staring out right!
