Limitless Wrestling: Leave No Doubt August 6, 2021

Limitless Wrestling returned to the Central Maine area with Leave No Doubt at the Morgan Hill Event Center in Herman, Maine!


It was nice going to another Limitless show just 6 days later.  Mikey road up with me and we met up with Roy at Dysarts where we all had brinner!  Breakfast for dinner is fantastic!  
The Morgan Hill Event Center is gorgeous!  The merch area was it's own room away from the room that the ring was set up in.  Pretty neat looking, and they have a cool ass balcony that I totally plan on sitting on next time.

Ashley Vox vs. "Legit" Leyla Hirsch



This was the first ever match up between these two, and also they are a couple.  Great back and forth matchwith Vox getting the pin picking up the victory!

Alexander Lee vs. Slade



Slade jumped Lee outside the ring before the bell.  The battled around for a few minutes before getting in the ring for the match to officially start.  They didn't stay in the ring very long but it was not a street fight it was a standard wrestling match.  Lee won the match pinning Slade, but it can be said that the war is far from over.

Prestigious: RBG, Channing Thomas, & "Main Attraction" MacDaniels defeated The Mane Event: Jay Lyon & Midas Black and Nolo Kitano

Great trios tag team match.  These really makes me want king of trios to comeback somehow somewhere!  This is my first time seeing Nolo Kitano, he's good.  IT was clear that Nolo and the Mane Event have teamed before or they just have natural chemistry.
  

Prestigious came out on top when they hit their finish, the avalanche doomsday device and BRG pinned Kitano.

VSK vs. Nico Silva


This was an unadvertised match, and it was great to see both of them on the card.  I chatted a lot with VSK at the merch table before and after the show and during intermission, really nice guy.  This was a very good match with a clever finish.  VSK untied Silva's boot and as Silva was tying his boot VSK kicked him in the head and then got the pin with an inverted piledriver.  

"Alternative" Anthony Greene vs. Matt Cross




Awesome match!  The crowd was exited that AG was back, and also very excited to see Cross.  Great back and forth match with lots of action and great offence from both men.  AG got the pin with his So Much Prettier finish. 

Ava Everett vs. Masha Slamovich




This was a very stiff and hard hitting match.  Ava hit Masha with a foreign object and then got the pin, she placed it under her arm to hide it from the referee, however when the ref raised her arm in victory it fell out.  The match was restarted and Slamovich DESTROYED Ava with spinkick and piledriver for the pin and the win.  

The Competition: Champ Mathews & Connor Murphy with Alex Cypher vs. Waves & Curls: Jaylen Brandyn & Traevon Jordan


Good tag team match.  Jaylen took the beating for his team the majority of the match.  The Competition work him over, cutting him off every time you thought he was going to get the tag.  When he did the place popped big and Jordan cleaned house.  In the end though, the Competition was too much for the younger tag team and Mathews pinned Brandyn with a handful of tights. 

Rip Byson vs. Charles Mason


I'm a big fan of the Ripper and after the beating he took last weekend I was surprised to see him back in the ring going all out.  Well I guess I shouldn't have been.  Hard hitting match with Rip getting the pin after a Stampede Driver.  I'd like to see these two tie it up again. 

Last Man Standing: Ace Romero vs. Eric Johnson

This feud was really built at the Dojo shows.  Eric Johnson was a 20 plus match winning streak and if he won tonight he would get a a Limitless Wrestling World Championship match.  Well, he lost, but I think he deserves a title shot.
  





This match was in the ring and all over the floor, They used chairs, a door, a plastic bat with thumbtacks on it, and a trash can and can lid.  At one point in the floor Ace picked up the trash can lid and gave it to Mikey to hold.  I figured Ace was going to ram Eric's head into it while Mikey held it, but he told Mikey to hit Eric, and Mikey did and it was loud!  The crowd popped and chanted one more time, Ace handed me the lid and told me to "fucking kill him" so I did.  I knew it had to be at least equal in sound to Mikey's and I think I accomplished that.  Ace then told me to hit him, as in Ace with it, so I shrugged my shoulders and I hit Ace, another great loud sound.  It was fun.

Dave Dyer got involved in the match, but in the end Ace for the pin ending the streak and taking away Johnson's title match.

It was a great night of wrestling!  Then again any night I can go to wrestling is a great night of wrestling!!!

Limitless is back on August 28th with the 2021 Vacationland Cup!

Limitless Wrestling: Undeniable July 31, 2021

Limitless Wrestling is back for their second post pandemic show, Undeniable at the AMVet's Hall!


Roy rode down with Canaan and I getting to the venue about 530 so ensure good parking.  Mikey got there not to long after and along with Greenie, Alex, & Sera we enjoyed a good group conversation in the parking lot.  I headed in early to set up my books for sale.  

We bought general admission this time, but in the future I think I'm just going to go for front row.  We got to sit front row for the final three matches because the people that had been sitting in front of us left at intermission.  I can't understand that myself.

The show was sold out, 350 tickets.  Eddie Edwards set up his merchandise next to my books, Canaan stayed at the table and watched the show from there keeping an eye on Edward's merch.  They got to talking and Canaan told him about the last time he saw Eddie live, which was 9 years ago when Canaan was six at and IWE show where Edwards wrestled Mark Moment.  I commented that, that night they got a photo together and Eddie actually held Canaan in it, that would never happen today. 

JD Drake vs. Kevin Blackwood with Limitless World Champion: Daniel Garcia

Really great opening match!  Drake has a heavy hand leading Blackwood to taking some stiff punishment, however he gave it back just as good.  Drake picked up the win pinning Blackwood. 


"Main Attraction" Mac Daniels with Jon Alba & Prestigious vs. Davienne

At the beginning of the match the referee announced that only one member of Prestigious could stay ringside.  Of course that was going to be Jon Alba.  Alba has been trying to get Davienne to join Prestigious for sometime and she has refused.



Davienne had the upper hand when Alba distracted her by proposing to her to join Prestigious with a ring pop, she again refused.  Daniels took the opportunity to get the pin by rolling Davienne up and using a handful of tights for leverage.

Post match Davienne cut a promo challenging Alba to a match.  Alba was downright terrified and had to lead to the back. 

Lee Moriarty vs. JT Dunn

This match was supposed to be Alec Price, however he was unable to compete and JT Dunn was the unannounced replacement.  Excellent match!  Both men spent the contest working over each other's left arm with some excellent wrestling. 


Moriarty looked like he was going to pick up the win, but Dunn hit death by elbow for to pick up the victory.   

Ava Everette vs. Danhausen

Fun comedy style match, Everette is excelling right now.  Ava, pretty much, dominated until she broke Danhausen's no swearing mandate.  He Danhausened up and got the pin after a goodnighthausen. 
 

Post match as Ava was walking to the back she came across Love Doug who was having fans sign a petition to get into the Vacationland Cup, Ava ripped the petition.  

Ace Romero vs. Eddie Edwards

The battle of two signed Impact Wrestling talent and Edwards Limitless debut.  Great match and it was a lot longer than I expected it to be.  The drunk guy next to Mikey and I kept yelling all night for someone to do a piledriver and yet when Ace got the pin after a package piledriver he didn't realize he had just witnessed a piledriver.


Post match Edwards cut a promo putting over Ace Romero and talking about how he's wanted to come to Limitless for years and is happy for it to finally happen.  Ace then declared himself and entrant in the Vacationland Cup. 

Strap Match: "Iron" Rip Byson vs. Big Beef

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!! 





This strap match was not a touch four corners to win match, it was pinfall or submission to finish.  The strap was huge, probably six inches wide, the match started with security in the ring to keep them separated, which didn't work out.  Also one of them fell on referee Eric Greenleaf resulting in him getting a partial tear in his MCL.  The two they battled on the floor and around the ring and then back in the ring.  They beat the tar out of each other with the strap, the must violent dueling chairs I have ever seen, and a ladder was used for Ripper's cactus elbow drop.  The finish came when Ripper pinned Beef after and Oklahoma Stampede.  

Becca vs. Charles Mason

Mason is a violent and creepy heel that just makes you feel uncomfortable, so job well done.  Becca has tremendous fan support.  Mason dominated the match and I believe it was an errant elbow that busted the leader of the scrunchie squad open from her nose. She bleed, a lot, and when she got the win after her 450 splash the crowd erupted!
  




Post Match: Prestigious ran to the ring to attacked Becca, they held her and threatened to assault her with a chair drawing Davienne out.  Alba her challenge from earlier accepted on the condition that if she loses that she joins Prestigious, and it will be an 8 person tag team match at the September Anniversary show or else they would brain Becca, Davienne accepted.   

Limitless Wrestling World Champion: "Red Death" Daniel Garcia with Kevin Blackwood vs. "Alternative" Anthony Greene

Garcia came out first as we awaited his mystery opponent.  I was pretty positive that it was AG, I mean it's 35 or 36 days after his release, he hadn't been advertised anyplace else until September and it just made sense.  Last month his music, "Heaven is a Place on Earth" by Belinda Carlisle kicked on the day after his release and the crowd popped big, until Prestigious came out.  When this song started this time, people got excited but they weren't falling for it again, until he came out. The pop...I mean..just go watch it on YouTube


Did you watch it?  I mean, amiright! It stopped him right in his tracks, caught him off guard!  

Before the bell referee Nate Speckman ordered Kevin Blackwood to the back, much to the delight of the audience.  Great match, both men looked outstanding in the ring!  Many thought that Greene was going to regain his title, however that would not be the case.  The referee got knocked down which lead to Kevin Blackwood coming out, eventually the referee came too and disqualified the champing giving AG the win, but Garcia left with the championship. 
 





Post match: Garcia and Blackwood continued the beatdown of AG with Ace Romero making the save.  The two former partners teased fighting and then hugged.  AG then declared himself in the Vacationland Cup. 

It was an outstanding night of wrestling and I can't wait for next month!  Limitless returns on August 28th with the 2021 Vacationland Cup!

Wrestling Shows by State

Recently Game Changer Wrestling promoted a show in Laramie, Wyoming called "GCW Outlaw Mudshow" and it featured the legendary Ricky Morton defeating Atticus Cogar in the semi-main event.  What was also significant is that Morton has now wrestled in all 50 US States!


Connor McGrath had tweeted that questioning if Wyoming has the least amount of wrestling history than any other state.  I'm here to tell you, yes they do!

Using Cagematch as my source you can search for matches going all the way back to 1887 to present day.  Doing this search I was able to locate that 33 professional wrestling events have been promoted in Wyoming.  The first in 1920 and the most recent in 2021, the biggest gap between shows 1927 to 1972 when the AWA started running events.  

WWE has promoted sevens shows in the state, TNA once, but WCW broadcast a live Monday Nitro in 1996 and Thunder in 1998!   


Looking at the rest of the United States Alaska is right behind Wyoming by just one show.  I've listed the remaining States in order of least to greatest number of events.  

Alaska 34 

South Dakota 63

Montana 72 

New Hampshire 202

Vermont 220

Idaho 286 

Utah 304

North Dakota 347

New Mexico 566

Delaware 573 


Mississippi 586 

Rhode Island 634

Maine 726 

Colorado 741

Nevada 759

Nebraska 856 

Washington DC 868

Washington 984

The following states have more than 1,000 shows listed on Cagematch, I'd break the query down by years to get the exact total of each State.

Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, & Wisconsin.
