Sermon on the Mat (Mar. 28, 2017): FTPW, Evolve, WrestlePro, GCW, RevPro, WrestleCon, Progress, Chikara, KBB, Wrestling Revolver, CZW, Shimmer, WWN, Beyond, ACW, & FIP cards and more!

Welcome back to the Sermon on the Mat, your weekly one-stop shop for news from the wider world of wrestling beyond the big cable TV monoliths that get all the coverage.

Coming soon...

FTPW Downtown Throwdown (March 30, 6:30PM Eastern)

1. Moose vs. TJ Marconi
2. Brian Cage vs. Martin Stone
3. Gorgeous Guys Club (Chico Adams & Rex Bacchus) (c) vs. That Klassic Tag Team (Kiko Harris & Kody Kastle) vs. ??? (FTPW Tag Team Championship Gauntlet Match)
4. Angel Rose vs. Aria Blake vs. Brandi Lauren (c) vs. Kennadi Brink vs. Lacey Lane vs. Su Yung vs. Veda Scott vs. ??? vs. ??? vs. ??? (FTPW Ladies Championship Elimination Match)
5. Braydon Knight vs. Craig Classic vs. Jonny Vandal (c) vs. Mr. 450 vs. Oraculo vs. Ronnie Ladd (FTPW Golden Challenge Championship)
6. Matt Sydal vs. Shannon Moore (c) (FTPW Championship)

Florida's Full Throttle Pro Wrestling are joining in on the Orlando fun and there's plenty to hang your hat on in what they have on offer. Leaping out at me at Brian Cage vs. Martin Stone, which should be a real fun grappler vs. power guy matchup, as well as the ten-woman elimination match featuring the cream of the indie crop today. Featured but not yet on the card are Joey Ryan, Ethan Carter III, Dulce "Sexy Star" Garcia, CZW World Heavyweight Champion "Chainsaw" Joe Gacy, and more!

Get your tickets here or wait for the VOD to hit WWNLive.

Evolve 80 (March 30, 8PM Eastern)

1. Austin Theory vs. “All Ego” Ethan Page
2. Jaka vs. Jason Kincaid
3. Chris Dickinson vs. Timothy Thatcher
4. Keith Lee vs. Ricochet (Keith Lee Challenge Series)
5. Drew Galloway vs. Matt Riddle
6. Catch Point (Fred Yehi & “Hot Sauce” Tracy Williams) (c) vs. Donovan Dijak & Michael Elgin (Evolve Tag Team Championship)
7. ACH vs. Zack Sabre, Jr. (c) (Evolve World Championship)

A very slight change of format here, folks, in that I'm including Evolve in the press of events here when I usually leave them out on account of doing separate previews-- those are still coming, for sure, but I wanted to really get the immense amount of events happening here across properly, even though I'm "only" really covering about a third of them here.

So I'm naturally not going to spend a lot of time making words about Evolve because you'll be able to check out the full preview tomorrow, but when Keith Lee vs. Ricochet is like the third most exciting match on the card...

Get your tickets here or watch it live or VOD on FloSlam.

WrestlePro WrestleCon (March 30, 8:30PM Eastern)

1. Bull James vs. CAQ
2. Chris Payne vs. Tommy Dreamer
3. Grado vs. Hornswoggle
4. Blue World Order (Blue Meanie, Nova, & Stevie Richards) vs. Kevin Matthews, Mario Bokara, & Pat Buck
5. Fallah Bahh vs. Jeff Cobb
6. Colt Cabana vs. Ryback
7. Brandi Rhodes vs. Joey Ryan
8. Brian Cage vs. Cody Rhodes (c) (GFW NEX*GEN Championship)
9. Da Hit Squad (Dan Maff & Steve Mack) vs. Heavenly Bodies (Desirable Dustin & Gigolo Justin) (c) (WrestlePro Tag Team Championship)

WrestleCon kicks off its weekend of shows with an event produced by New Jersey's WrestlePro, and yes, that is a rare GFW title defense!

Get your tickets here or check it out when it goes up on the Highspots Wrestling Network.

GCW Joey Janela’s Spring Break (March 30, 11:59PM Eastern)

1. Bryan Idol vs. Crazy Boy vs. Dink vs. "All Ego" Ethan Page vs. Facade vs. Glacier vs. Invisible Man vs. Jervis Cottonbelly vs. Jimmy Lloyd vs. John Silver vs. Markus Crane vs. Travis "Flip Gordon vs. Veda Scott (Spring Break Clusterf&%# Match)
2. Allie & Braxton Sutter vs. Andy Williams & Penelope Ford
3. Kyle the Beast vs. Sami Callihan
4. Eddie Kingston vs. Matt Tremont (c) (GCW Heavyweight Championship)
5. Keith Lee vs. Lio Rush
6. Dan "the Beast" Severn vs. Matt Riddle
7. Joey Janela vs. Marty Jannetty

This is, hands-down, my pick for show of the week, folks. From the Clusterf...udge all the way up to Bad Boy vs. Rocker, it's wild. Severn/Riddle alone had me salivating, and that was the first match announced. Glacier, Dink, a financially responsible amount of Earl Hebner (he's just doing a run-in on a ref bump, you see), it's pure wrestling spectacle at its finest. Plus matches like Lee/Rush and Kingston/Tremont that could easily be amongst the best of the weekend? Sign me up.

Get your tickets here or watch it live or VOD on FloSlam.

CMLL Super Viernes (March 31, 10:30PM Eastern)

1. Mercurio & Pequeño Nitro vs. Stukita & Último Dragoncito
2. Amapola, Tiffany, & Zeuxis vs. Jarochita, Princesa Sugehit, & Skadi
3. Blue Panther, Blue Panther, Jr., & the Panther vs. Cuatrero, Mascara Año 2000, & Sanson
4. Kraneo, Mephisto, & Pierroth vs. Marco Corleone, Máximo Sexy, & Volador, Jr.
5. Diamante Azul, El Valiente, & Stuka, Jr. vs. Negro Casas, Rey Bucanero, & Último Guerrero
6. Matt Taven vs. Rush

The eyes of the wrestling world are on Orlando, but in Mexico City, the show must go on! It's a pretty average looking week aside from the rare main event singles match, a rematch between Matt Taven and Rush. Their first encounter was pretty one-sided, so we'll just have to see what happens here.

Check it out, as always, free for nothin’ on ClaroSports, unless they region-block it again as has happened the last few weeks. Hopefully not!

Progress (March 31, 12PM Eastern)

1. James Drake vs. Rockstar Spud
2. Sami Callihan & Shane Strickland vs. South Pacific Power Trip (TK Cooper & Travis Banks)
3. Jinny vs. Toni Storm
4. Mark Andrews vs. Tyler Bate
5. Jimmy Havoc vs. Zack Sabre, Jr.
6. Matt Riddle (c) vs. Trent Seven (Progress Atlas Division Championship)
7. Mark Haskins vs. Pete Dunne (c) (Progress Championship)

Progress' share of More Than Mania came in late but what they've got more than makes up for the delay. Sabre/Havoc III! Haskins gunning for the title he never lost! An exhibition featuring two-thirds of the Natural Progression Series finalists! Bro!

Get your tickets here, buy the iPPV on WWNLive, or just wait patiently for the show to go up on Demand Progress.

Evolve 81 (March 31, 4PM Eastern)

1. ACH vs. Timothy Thatcher
2. Drew Galloway vs. Lio Rush
3. Austin Theory, Jason Kincaid, & Sammy Guevara vs. Catch Point (Chris Dickinson, Jaka, & “Hot Sauce” Tracy Williams)
4. Donovan Dijak vs. Keith Lee (Keith Lee Challenge Series)
5. Fred Yehi vs. Matt Riddle
6. Michael Elgin vs. Zack Sabre, Jr.

Yes, Lio Rush breaks free from the bonds of Ring of Honor and makes his return to Evolve! And in completely unrelated news, the Keith Lee Challenge Series finishes up as he squares off against Donovan Dijak.

Get your tickets here or watch it live or VOD on FloSlam.

Chikara Turn Left (March 31, 8PM Eastern)

1. Closers (Rick Roland & Sloan Caprice vs. Xyberhawx2000 (Razerhawk & Sylverhawk)
2. Legion of Rot (Frightmare & Hallowicked) vs. Missile Assault Man & Silver Ant
3. Cajun Crawdad, Hermit Crab, Juan Francisco de Coronado, Merlok, & Wani vs. the Furies (Fire Ant, Icarus, Ophidian, Solo Darling, & Travis Huckabee)
4. Grado vs. UltraMantis Black
5. Chuck Taylor™ & DUSTIN vs. Cornelius Crummels & Sonny Defarge (c) (Chikara Campeonatos de Parejas)

Yes, Grado is wrestling UltraMantis Black. No, the Grand Championship is not on the line. That is all.

(Wait, one more thing. Chikara, I love you for having a well-updated site. I really do, it's clean and easy to find cards on, and that's great. But I really wish you'd list the participants out in tag matches like that ten-man there.)

(On that note, hat tip to my man Jakattak88 in the comments for filling me in on the rest of the Furies!)

Get your tickets here, or catch it later on Chikaratopia, unless these shows are, given the names, for the live audience only and somehow retconned away by weird time travel stuff.

RPW WrestleCon (March 31, 4PM Eastern)

1. Jay White vs. Sami Callihan
2. Jeff Cobb vs. Martin Stone
3. Marty Scurll vs. Ricochet
4. Ryan Smile & Shane Strickland vs. Unbreakable F'n Machines (Brian Cage & Michael Elgin)
5. Rey Fenix vs. Will Ospreay
6. David Starr vs. Josh Bodom (c) (RPW Interim British Cruiserweight Championship)
7. Penta el Zero M vs. Zack Sabre, Jr. (c) (RPW British Heavyweight Championship)

Thanks to a bit of generosity from Ring of Honor in allowing exclusive-in-the-US talent Scurll and Ospreay come play, RevPro have put together a complete supercard for Friday afternoon. The one that leaps out at me personally is Stone/Cobb, that's gonna either be a technical wrestling clinic or a bonafide war.

Get your tickets here or check it out when it goes up on RPW On Demand.

WrestleCon Supershow (March 31, 8:30PM Eastern)

1. Bobby Lashley vs. Jeff Cobb
2. Joey Ryan (c) vs. ??? (DDT Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship 20-Man WrestleCon Rumble Match)
3. Brian Cage vs. Johnny Mundo (Tables, Ladders, and Chairs Match)
4. Team Ospreay (Marty Scurll, Ryan Smile, Will Ospreay, ???, & ???) vs. Team Ricochet (AR Fox, Jason Cade, Ricochet, Sami Callihan, & ???)
5. Broken Hardyz (Broken Matt & Brother Nero) vs. Lucha Brothers (Penta el Zero M & Rey Fenix)

Bobby Lashley in one of his rare indie appearances AND he's wrestling fellow shoot-style suplex machine Jeff Cobb? Nevermind whatever else they have, I'm in!

Tickets are sold out, but you should be able to check it out when it goes up on the Highspots Wrestling Network.

Kaiju Big Battel (March 31, 11:59PM Eastern)

1. #13 vs. Unicorn Party (Cosmic Monster Challenge)

Kaiju Big Battel usually play their cards close to the chest, so all we know for sure right now is that one and that Su Yung is on the card. But with KBB's city-stomping action, the card matters less than sitting back and enjoying some wrestlers fighting in rubber suits, folks.

Get your tickets here or watch it live or VOD on FloSlam.

Shimmer 91 (April 1, 12PM Eastern)

1. Santana Garrett vs. Shayna Baszler
2. Dulce Garcia vs. Kellyanne
3. Kay Lee Ray & Mia Yim vs. Tessa Blanchard & Vanessa Kraven (c) (Shimmer Tag Team Championship)
4. Candice LeRae vs. Mercedes Martinez (c) (Shimmer Championship)

Shimmer's yearly venture into iPPV is always to be celebrated and this is no different. We don't have a tournament this year, but we do have actual title defenses and some of the best women on the indies doing their thing.

Get your tickets here or buy the iPPV through WWNLive.

Chikara Bad Wolf (April 1, 4PM Eastern)

1. Colony (Fire Ant & Silver Ant) vs. Legion of Rot vs. Los Ice Creams (El Hijo del Ice Cream & Ice Cream, Jr.) vs. Solo Darling & Travis Huckabee (Elimination Tag Team Match)
2. Jeremy Leary vs. Ophidian
3. Space Monkey (c) vs. Wani (Chikara Young Lions Cup)
4. Max Smashmaster vs. Zack Sabre, Jr.
5. Juan Francisco de Coronado vs. UltraMantis Black (c) (Chikara Grand Championship)

But here, against Juan Francisco de Coronado, the title is very much on the line. And furthermore, that four-corners elimination tag is a mighty quick way to earn three points if a team can be dominant enough. Whoever leaves Turn Left as tag champs are going to have to watch their backs.

Get your tickets here, or catch it later on Chikaratopia, unless these shows are, given the names, for the live audience only and somehow retconned away by weird time travel stuff.

WWN Supershow Mercury Rising 2017: Evolve vs. Progress (April 1, 8PM Eastern)

1. Jason Kincaid vs. Keith Lee
2. LuFisto vs. Su Yung (c) (Shine Championship)
3. Doom Patrol (Chris Dickinson & Jaka) vs. South Pacific Power Trip (Evolve vs. Progress)
4. “All Ego” Ethan Page vs. Jimmy Havoc (Evolve vs. Progress)
5. ACH vs. Pete Dunne (Evolve vs. Progress)
6. Mark Haskins vs. Zack Sabre, Jr. (c) (Evolve World Championship Evolve vs. Progress Match)
7. Drew Galloway vs. Fred Yehi vs. Jon Davis vs. Matt Riddle vs. Parrow vs. “Hot Sauce” Tracy Williams (WWN Championship Battle of the Champions Elimination Match)

It's the biggest show of the year, and it's bigger than ever as the six-man tradition mutates a bit into a six-way eliminator to crown the first-ever WWN Champion. Let's go, Bro!

But also, perhaps my most anticipated match of the whole weekend, LuFisto vs. Su Yung. Su brawls are always a joy, and with an opponent like LuFisto on a stage like Mercury Rising? Magic might just happen, folks.

And I didn't even hit on the Evolve vs. Progress matches!

Get your tickets here or watch it live or VOD on FloSlam.

The Wrestling Revolver Pancakes & Piledrivers (April 1, 12PM Eastern)

1. Eddie Kingston vs. KRUGAR
2. "Manscout" Jake Manning vs. Su Yung
3. David Starr vs. Jeff Cobb
4. ACH vs. Dezmond Xavier vs. Michael Elgin vs. Moose vs. Palmer
5. Los Gueros del Cielo (Angelico & Jack Evans) vs. OI4K (Dave & Jake Crist) (Fans Bring the Presents Match)
6. Ricochet vs. Shane Strickland
7. Lucha Brothers (Penta el Zero M & Rey Fenix) vs. Twins (Brian Cage & Sami Callihan)
8. AR Fox vs. Arik Cannon vs. Caleb Konley vs. Jason Cade vs. Joey Janela vs. Lio Rush vs. Matt Cross vs. Serpentico vs. Trevor Lee vs. Zachary Wentz (AR Fox Open Invite Scramble Championship Ladder Match)

Iowa's Wrestling Revolver comes to Florida for what's only their third show, but as you can see from the card there, they've lined up a wild show for the breakfast crowd. That ten man ladder match alone would pique most folks' interest, but it's almost all some degree of excellent looking. Of particular note is that Fans Bring the Presents match, and they DON'T mean weapons. Bring presents, because it's Jack Evans' birthday! Excellent.

Get your tickets here or check it out when it goes up on the Highspots Wrestling Network.

WrestleCon Women’s Wrestling Supershow (April 1, 4PM Eastern)

1. Joey Ryan vs. Shayna Baszler
2. Su Yung (c) vs. Taya Valkyrie (Queens of Combat Championship)

I mean, I keep trying to write stuff but my mind wanders right back to Ryan/Baszler. It might be the end of the YouPorn Plex as we know it if he’s not careful.

Get your tickets here or check it out when it goes up on the Highspots Wrestling Network.

CZW Best of the Best 16 (April 1, 8:30PM Eastern)

1. AR Fox vs. David Starr vs. Jason Cade vs. Ricochet (Best of the Best 16 First Round Match)
2. Dave Crist vs. Jake Crist vs. Rey Fenix vs. Sami Callihan (Best of the Best 16 First Round Match)
3. Dezmond Xavier vs. Joey Janela vs. "Blackheart" Lio Rush vs Shane Strickland (Best of the Best 16 First Round Match)
4. Anthony Henry vs. Michael Elgin vs. Scorpio Sky vs. Zachary Wentz (Best of the Best 16 First Round Match)
5. Ace Austin vs. Alexander James vs. Caleb Konley vs. Ethan Case vs. Rickey Shane Page vs. Tony Deppen (Ultimate Opportunity Scramble Match)
6. Father Matthew Tremont vs. Penta el Zero M
7. Brian Cage vs. "Chainsaw" Joe Gacy (c) (CZW World Heavyweight Championship)

NXT TakeOver and Mercury Rising aren't the only huge shows going down around 8PM on Saturday, no way. CZW's annual Best of the Best is back and they've put together an all-star lineup for this year's tournament field. From Anthony Henry all the way to Zachary Wentz, it's a who's who of talented rising stars and well-established indie stars like Elgin and Callihan.

Plus, Father Matthew Tremont and CM Penta in what should be all-out war, a six-man scramble with a golden ticket to any match on the line, and Brian Cage challenging Joe Gacy for the world title.

Get your tickets here or wait for it to go up on CZW Studios.

Beyond Caffeine (April 1, 11:59PM Eastern)

1. Gentleman's Club (Chuck Taylor & Orange Cassidy) & Team Tremendous (Bill Carr & Dan Barry) vs. Team Pazuzu (Angel Ortiz, Chris Dickinson, Jaka, & Mike Draztik)
2. Janelope (Joey Janela & Penelope Ford) have issued an open challenge
3. AR Fox vs. John Silver
4. Deonna Purrazzo vs. LuFisto
5. David Starr vs. Sami Callihan
6. Da Hit Squad (Dan Maff & Steve Mack) vs. Unbreakable F’n Machines (Brian Cage & Michael Elgin)
7. Jeff Cobb vs. Keith Lee
8. Donovan Dijak vs. Matt Riddle

Our last midnight show of the weekend (well, as I type this, there are rumblings that that might change, but we'll see) and Beyond are looking to make staying up more than worth it. Look at all the BEEF on display between that tag and Cobb/Lee! Cannot wait.

Get your tickets here or just catch it live or VOD on FloSlam, folks.

ACW Hardy Broken Tailgate Party (April 2, 11AM Eastern)

FIP Hardy Broken Tailgate Party (April 2, 2PM Eastern)

1. ACH, Keith Lee, Michael Elgin, & Sammy Guevara vs. Uncle John's Friends (AR Fox, Dave Crist, Sami Callihan, & ???)
2. Dezmond Xavier vs. Fred Yehi (c) (FIP World Heavyweight Championship)
3. Jon Davis vs. Martin Stone (c) (FIP Florida Heritage Championship)
4. Aria Blake vs. Priscilla Kelly
5. Austin Theory vs. Caleb Konley
6. Anthony Henry vs. Jason Cade

ACW haven't announced any matches in advance, but FIP are more than making up for it with a card like that, don't you think? With the unique feature that the main event is first and the opening match is last, to account for the show happening mere hours before WrestleMania, WWN are making sure you don't have to come up for air on Sunday unless you want to.

Get your tickets here or watch it live or VOD on FloSlam.

Wrestling Revolver / Wrestle Circus Midnight-ish After Mania (April 3, ~12AM Eastern)

1. "Manscout" Jake Manning vs. Leva Bates
2. ACH vs. Martin Stone
3. Michael Elgin vs. Shane Strickland
4. Death Machine (Jessicka Havok & Sami Callihan) vs. World's Cutest Tag Team (Candice LeRae & Joey Ryan)
5. Brian Cage (c) vs. Dezmond Xavier (Ringmaster Championship)
6. Team WrestleCircus (Aaron Solow, Rachael Ellering, Ricky Starks, & Sammy Guevara) vs. Team Wrestling Revolver (Dave Crist, David Starr, Jake Crist, & Zachary Wentz) (Tornado Tag Match)

Yep, it's a midnight show for AFTER WrestleMania.

Get your tickets here, or wait for the show to go up, based on the promotions involved, either on Highspots Wrestling Network or WrestleCircus VOD.

Free matches here!

Johnny Gargano, Kota Ibushi, & TJ Perkins vs. Marty Scurll, Tommy End, & Will Ospreay

Yes, the fine folks at FloSlam have seen fit to give us Mercury Rising 2016's main event, the wild six-man Days of Future Past match. So-named because Gargano, Ibushi, and Perkins were all on Evolve 1 and Scurll, End, and Ospreay were the future, it's a bit ironic that year later the only guy who can freely appear on an Evolve show is Ibushi, and he probably won't take a booking unless he's allowed to set the Orpheum on fire or something. All the same, it's a really excellent match, so go watch it posthaste!

Jimmy Rave vs. Johnny Gargano

From the good people over at Atlanta Wrestling Entertainment, we have the ace of the south, Jimmy Rave, defending the GWC title against a veritable icon in Johnny Gargano. Check it out!

Fred Yehi vs. Lio Rush

Courtesy of the fine folks over at FloSlam, we have Lio Rush's first Evolve match, ahead of his return on Friday. He took on future Catch Point member and tag team champion Fred Yehi, and it was a hoot and a half. Enjoy!

Results

AIW Gauntlet For the Gold 12 (March 24)

1. Eddie Kingston over Hornswoggle
2. "All Ego" Ethan Page over Colt Cabana
3. Alex Daniels (c) over Shawn Shultz to retain the AIW Intense Championship
4. Dominic Garrini over BJ Whitmer
5. To Infinity and Beyond (Cheech & Colin Delaney) over Crazy Pain (Gringo Loco & Steve Pain) (c), DJZ & Laredo Kid, and Ninja Elite Squad (Facade & Flip Kendrick) to win the AIW Tag Team Championship
6. Scott Norton over Joey Janela
7. Tim Donst over Josh Prohibition (c) and "Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams to win the AIW Absolute Championship
8. Louis Lyndon wins the 30-Man Gauntlet for the Gold, becoming #1 contender for the AIW Absolute Championship

AIW's twelfth Gauntlet for the Gold changed the landscape rather dramatically. The Captain of the Ship beat out twenty-nine other men to secure himself a shot at the Absolute Championship, but while he may have been preparing for Josh Prohibition, it's now Tim Donst that he'll have to stare down at Absolution XII. Likewise, what's old is new again, as To Infinity and Beyond reclaimed the tag titles in four-way action... by tazing Gringo Loco!

Check it out when it goes up on Smart Mark Video, folks.

Freelance Don’t Let Me Cave In (March 24)

1. Kody Rice over ???, ???, Pat Monix, Shane Sabre, and Zicky Dice (Scramble Match)
2. Superiority Complex (Roy Gordon & Tony Nas) over Brubaker & Kobe Durst, Rob Matter & Stephen Wolf, and the Whirlwind Gentlemen (Jack Manley & Remy Marcel) to become #1 contenders to the Freelance Tag Team Championship
3. Darin Corbin over Arik Cannon
4. Stevie Fierce over Robert Anthony
5. Alex Ohlson, Chris Castro, & Suge D over Team BETA (Craig Mitchell, Kenny Sutra, & Matt Knicks)
6. Isaias Velazquez over Rickey Shane Page
7. Shotzi Blackheart (c) over Angel Dust and Veda Scott to retain the Rise Championship
8. GPA (c) over Matt Cage to retain the Freelance Championship

Unfortunately there was a technical issue that prevented Freelance from streaming (and I can't seem to find who ended up in the final version of the scramble match thanks to the usual indie wrestling travel woes, so apologies for that, folks), so no recap from me this time, but it looks like they put on the kind of show we've come to know and love from them. And there was a fireball in the scramble!

So check out the couple of videos they managed to stream on Facebook during the show and get ready for the VOD to come out on Smart Mark Video.

Progress Chapter 46: I Like to Chill Out Here and Shoot Some Dinosaurs (March 26)

1. The Origin (Nathan Cruz & Zack Gibson) over the Origin (Dave Mastiff & El Ligero)
2. Toni Storm over Dahlia Black (Natural Progression Series IV Semifinal Match)
3. Travis Banks over Jack Sexsmith
4. Mark Haskins over Axel Dieter, Jr.
5. Jimmy Havoc over Will Ospreay (Loser Leaves Progress Fans Bring the Weapons Deathmatch)
6. British Strong Style (Trent Seven & Tyler Bate) (c) over Hunter Brothers (Jim & Lee Hunter) to retain the Progress Tag Team Championship
7. Matt Riddle (c) over WALTER to retain the Progress Atlas Division Championship
8. Pete Dunne (c) over Mark Andrews to retain the Progress Championship

Yes, folks, it's sad but true-- banter lost.

Oh, and Will Ospreay's gone. Here to stay, however, are British Strong Style and our Bro, Matt Riddle, with retentions all around. But more on that when I get a chance to recap this bad boy, eh?

Check it out when it goes up on Demand Progress, but be aware there's going to be a bit of delay compared to normal due to the Progress crew being in Orlando.

PWX Ode to Tradition (March 26)

1. The Revolt! (Caleb Konley & Zane Riley) over Jason Cade & White Mike
2. Chip Day vs. Corey Hollis went to a double count-out draw
3. Martin Stone over David Starr (Pure Rules Match)
4. James Drake over Jeff Cobb
5. Anthony Henry (c) over Michael Elgin to retain the PWX World Heavyweight Championship
6. The Syndicate (Elijah Evans IV, Timmy Lou Retton, & TJ Boss) over Ugly Ducklings (Colby Corino, Lance Lude, & Rob Killjoy)
7. Darius Lockhart over Tracer X
8. Cody Rhodes over John Skyler

As always, with a promotion I recap, we'll keep it brief, but, I mean, a Pure Rules Match between Stone and Starr?! Brilliant! Although let's mourn a moment for the Ugly Ducklings' year-long undefeated streak. I'm sure the Syndicate will get theirs, soon enough.

Check it out when it goes up on the Highspots Wrestling Network.

As always...

Remember folks, no matter what type of wrestling you like, no matter how down you feel about the state of WWE, TNA, ROH, or any other "big-time" pro wrestling, there's something out there for you.
