Wrestling Revolver and The Ring of Destiny 2023

Wrestling Revolver and the Ring of Destiny came through town 6/17/23 to Dayton Ohio. They were at Calumet Center at Montgomery County Fairgrounds. I was not there live and did not catch the show until later on FIteTV.

Sami Callihan defeated JT Dunn

Not much of a match here, it was less than 5 minutes, and it was basically Callihan rolling over JT Dunn. Not that it wasn’t entertaining, but it was shorter than I expected. Fun start, it was just a one sided affair.

Allie Katch and Logan James defeated Billie Starkz and Brogan Finlay

A solid back and forth match here with some good moves. A death valley driver on the apron was grand, otherwise this was a standard mixed tag team match up. Starkz and Finlay did their best but it was Katch and James that got the victory here.

Alan Angels defeated Robert Martyr

A strong match, with some great back and forth. Alan Angels was impressive, reminded me a little of Ricochet. Robert Martyr was ok, but he couldn’t match the fast paced offense that Angels threw down here. Great fun.

Alex Colon defeated Crazy King in a Unlucky 13 Staple Gun Match

This match turned into a hardcore match fast. The main goal was to staple 13 staples into your opponent before you could score a pinfall win. This was fun to say the least, but it was methodical and just crazy overall. Crazy King is nothing short of crazy, kicking out of some impressive moments. The end came when Alex Colon went double knees through Crazy King and a set of light tubes! Fun match, crazy moments, a good hardcore match.

Madman Fulton defeated Crash Jaxon

A hardcore match ensued in this one, and it was a lot of back and forth. Madman Fulton is a big guy, and Crash Jaxon was big, but in a different way. Madman would get the win with some innovative offense, and a powerbomb through a chair. Fun hardcore style match overall. I liked it, it wasn’t half bad.

Damian Chambers won a Golden Ticket Gauntlet match

This was like a Royal Rumble match, there were a lot of competitors in this one. There was some good back and forth, solid brawling, and fun overall. Damian Chambers won it all, and it was a fun romp. I don’t know how many people were in it, but it was fun. Shark Boy showed up and that was awesome!

The Motor City Machine Guns defeated ABC

Well, this was definitely a match that had two good teams in it. It wasn’t an extreme affair, but the Motor City Machine Guns pulled out some classic moves. They threw down a great deal, and had some nice offense. ABC did have some good stuff too, this was a back and forth affair, but it was the Motor City Machine Guns that got the upper hand in the end, and won. A solid match, just felt a little long.

Jake Crist defeated Steve Maclin in the Revolver Title Match

Jake Crist impressed me overall. He was able to overcome a great deal of offense from Steve Maclin, and got his hands on the title. He took a great deal of offense, and Maclin was not going down easily. Maclin was the larger of the two competitors, and Crist really did a good job in following along and staying in good pace with him. Good overall match, fun times, and a new world champion.

After the match Jake Crist got a message from the King of Indies Matt Cardona! He said he is going to be there August third and wants a shot at the Wrestling Revolver championship!

Jon Moxley and The Second Gear Crew (1 Called Manders, Mance Warner, and Matthew Justice) defeated Rickey Shane Page and The Rascalz (Myron Reed, Trey Miguel, Zachary Wentz)

An all out brawl, was had here. There was even a moment when a kid got into the action with a big boot. The match was not a fundamental wrestling match, but rather a brawl with all men getting chances to show their stuff. They set up doors, and it turned into a sort of hardcore match that you see in indies a lot. Things got bloody, and a lot of carnage ensued. Moxley and crew would get the win after a lot of brawling, and that was that. End of the show! There were some nonsensical moments, but alas, it’s an indy fed, so let’s not get too technically lost.

Overall Thoughts

I honestly thought this felt like a long winded show. However, it was a fun ride through some different kinds of wrestling, including some brawling, technical, and hardcore moments too. If you have a chance to see this, get the Fite app, and go to a show and see what’s up overall. This was a fun night of wrestling if you ask me.

AEW Dynamite 6/21/23 Results and Review

Another Dynamite comes through from Chicago and the crowd was wild for the opening, and throughout. Let’s see how it all went down and my thoughts on the matter.

The Gunns defeated The Hardys

A fun fast paced tag team match. The Gunns were getting rocked a great deal at one point, and there was a lot of fighting to be had. The Hardys threw down a great deal of offense, and it was a fun time, with the crowd all over it. The end came with Bullet Club Gold interfering and ended up getting beat down by the crew, and after a 3:10 to Yuma, the Hardys were put down. After the match they got beat down until Ricky Starks came threw and he got beat down too. Out came FTR as well and there was a wild brawl. Fun stuff to begin Dynamite.

Mark Briscoe defeated Jeff Jarrett in a concession stand brawl

What a wild match! It started in the concession stands and went down to the ring, and it was a lot of fun. Jarrett can still go! Wow, this was a highlight for me, a great deal of brawling, some good wrestling, and just a fun time with the crowd going absolutely nuts. Jarrett would get his friends to run in but they couldn’t finish off Briscoe as he had his own friends come through and help. Briscoe would get the win, and eventually would roll up Jarrett and what a nice matchup. Great overall fun match, check it out.

Minoru Suzuki and The Jericho Appreciation Society defeated Action Andretti, AR Fox, and Darius Martin

A solid six man match. A lot of back and forth happened here, with every guy getting some time to shine. Suzuki is awesome, and was great to see him in this match. He is just strong and bold, loved it. This was a good overall modern style wrestling match with frenetic pacing toward the end. The Lion Tamer came out at one point, and was just a great thing to see, a great matchup with a lot of fun back and forth, I liked it a lot.

Adam Cole called out MJF and he obliged! He came down to the ring to talk with Cole. They were interrupted and were informed that they would have to team up! They would be a tag team for the upcoming tournament to see who would win a shot at the AEW tag titles.

Daniel Garcia and Zack Sabre Jr defeated Katsuyori Shibata and Orange Cassidy

Slow and steady this match wasn’t much to write home about at first glance. However, there were some nice moments between Zack Sabre Jr and Orange Cassidy to be specific. Garcia was great too, and this was a harder hitting match than I had originally expected. If you were expecting a frenetic pace, you didn’t get it here. It was more methodical than anything, and it was a fun match overall. Zack Sabre Jr is my favorite wrestler right now, just impressive to say the least.

Kris Statlander defeated Taya Valkyrie in the AEW TBS Title Match

Taya did a lot of the damage in this match, it was slow and methodical. However, Statlander did manage to reverse some elements, and eventually got the Tombstone piledriver, and got the win. It was a test, however, Statlander stood tall overall, which was a lot of fun.

Overall Thoughts

A great deal of wrestling was found on this show, and I didn’t dislike any of it. I was impressed with how packed the show was, and how much fun I had with it. I loved it overall, and will be watching Rampage, Collision, and Forbidden Door. So much good stuff is coming from AEW.
