 Directly behind me, hailing from Buffalo, New York, 185 pounds. Rippler, Kevin, corner to my right, Jake. Here against Kevin Blackwood. If this rate, Johnny Torres, this might as well be Jake something versus Kevin nothing. And I'm not talking about his wrestling acumen. Kevin Blackwood very well polished. The last time we saw Kevin Blackwood, it was on the end of a defeat. We did just see him lose a contest. We saw him apparently lose a friend. Diego Garcia, upon losing the Limitless Red Championship, walked out on him after his loss. Kevin Blackwood finds himself no longer with Garcia. He finds himself no longer with the support of the Limitless fans. He doesn't even find himself representing Buffalo. He's a California implant. And he finds himself now on the bad side of somebody. Yes, I was going to say, he was about no love lost back in June. Our return to live shows in front of an audience. Jake something had his opportunity at the Limitless Wrestling Heavyweight Championship. He went toe to toe with Daniel Garcia and Kevin Blackwood. And I think that that is the name of the game. It was always the numbers game with Daniel Garcia. Kevin Blackwood very much a part of the reason why Garcia was able to retain against Jake something who looks even more impressive every time we see him. Take a look at the physique on Jake something. And this is the thing. The fans might be getting into his head here, Johnny Torres. Where's Garcia? And there are some sour grapes that Blackwood was wearing even when he came out this way. That's his only gunner with bold in that. Absolutely. And again, though, let's talk about the wrestling acumen. Kevin Blackwood, very impressive. Was always able to get the job done without Garcia in his corner. But he became dependent on him over the past year. This is going to be a true test. I don't know. You want to talk about AP physics in front of you. You have Jake something. Impact wrestling star right in front of you. Yeah, no bigger test for a new game plan for Kevin Blackwood than Jake something here. Reading from the book of something as it takes off the road. How do you do Kevin Blackwood? What a collision. Jake something. What's his name talk show? I will tell you it is. Rockin' and rolling here against Kevin Blackwood, the aesthetic crippler on the outside. This is not the first time these two met. We have seen this contest before. And Blackwood would very much like to get back on the right-page victory against Jody Threat this summer. Losses to Anthony Greenlow, making Jinland Cup. Took on Ace Romero, the Anniversary Show, coming up with a loss there. That's what you guys see him walked out on. He had bigger fish to fry in the form of Anthony Green. Big chop from Jake something. Fire on all cylinders on the outside of the ring here. The arm of Amvex. Kevin Blackwood. What an assault on that chest here. Very smug over being able to get out of the way. The wearable there. Educated feet of Kevin Blackwood. Absolutely. Out work here. Chopping down the redwood that is Jake something. What's this? Back in. Match can be won. Best place in the middle of the ring. Blackwood now. Sliding knees. Stopping the momentum of Jake something. Now there's rain in the strikes. Doing exactly what he needs to do. Stay aggressive on the big man right here. Has to take a little bit of time to recover, but you don't want to give Jake too much time to recover. I know. Bout it because that's what happens. How effective. A body slam. That effective. Getting kind of an applause here from this audience. When you're that tall, it feels like you're falling off a mountain top shelf. How crazy a difference a year makes. This crowd used to be just solemnly behind Kevin Blackwood. Kevin Blackwood seemingly was in line for limitless wrestling heavyweight championship bouts. He finds himself in that audience. Like I said, no longer living in Buffalo. No longer in Buffalo Brothers. I was going to say Daniel Garcia nowhere to be found. We have not seen Puff in quite some time. Kevin Bennett nowhere to be found. I don't know if this is a new chapter. This might be a whole new book top shelf. Could be. Kevin Blackwood now. Into the knee. Me. Catching Jake something. And that's what he's going to have to do. We're talking about Anthony Henry and JT Dunn with striking stages. Kevin Blackwood, very impressive with his strikes. And they've been landing flush here tonight. The expense of Jake something. Kevin Blackwood. Trying to employ the mind games. Has to keep finding that chin of Jake something. What a kick to the back. Blackwood now. European style uppercut. Something who's absolutely not going to be taking any into that. Just woke him up. Says no. Blackwood now. She's around. Comes through. Just rolls up. Something. DDT. And you saw how you had to fight for the momentum for that DDT cover now. Only two says Eric Greenleaf. Oh, Blackwood taking some exception there. Looked like he was about to put Greenleaf back on it to save it last. Hopping instead. Might be thinking it's starting to rain down some elbows. Look at this beat here. Trying to get it to side out. Once again. Very strong. Needs to land all of those. Blackwood. Could be looking for that patented double stump. Hits it from every angle. Hits it from every angle. From the top rope. The second rope. Running at you. Your opponent running at you. It could come from anywhere. And if he lands it. That could spell disaster for Jake something. Good lord. Very crisp shot there from Jake something. Forearm from Blackwood answering back. Ducks a line. Ducks another one. Couple shots there. Utilize that speed. Staying in the pocket. That could have been it. That kick lands. That could have been lights out. Blackwood now over. Look at that German suplex. Backdoor. Gets a little extra momentum. It's a must win situation. Both guys. Again, Jake something. Coming off of a loss. For the Loveless Wrestling Championship. Back in June. Blackwood with consecutive losses. To both Ace Romero and Anthony Green. Top contenders. Again. It's just a matter of three losses in a row. We have been talking about it all night. The importance of wins and losses. Road attack from Jake something. Another. Catch them. What is this going to be? Double. Taking a double ax handle like that. I'm bringing them right back down. Stomach first to the canvas. Blacks position. Blackwood out the backdoor. Rolling elbow. Big shot from Jake something. Over floats Blackwood. Catches impressive victory. It would have been right there if he could have gone to Blackwood. And this is what I'm saying. At this point in the contest. Isn't this where we would see Garcia. Make his presence felt. It feels different. Blackwood though. But look. He's adapting. He's always been able to do this tourist. He has never needed Garcia on the outside. Making those adjustments. Double stop I was talking about. Catch them. Only one way to go. You can hear the groans from the audience. They felt that one too Johnny. Something now. Going to capitalize. Things are not looking good if your name is Kevin Blackwood. Might be. All of Blackwood dug as deep as humanly possible to summon the strength to kick out of that. Jake something. You can see the look on his face. Couldn't believe it. He's been disbelief in his own right. Now something's got to figure something out. It's been strikes for Blackwood that we've been talking about. It was the submission game that threw off Jake something last time. These strikes have been effective. But something still has a lot left in the tank. Weathering the storm. Blackwood looking a little worse for the wear here. Power bomb. Blackwood catching the shot. That might not have been the wisest one. It's pumping over. He lands flush. Lays him out. You've got to stay on him. Blackwood. And it might be time. That vaunted Blackwood double stop might be. Blackwood might have something else in mind here. I think you should go for the cover against something. Very slow to get up. Pulling down the knee pad here. A lot of flight knee. Up. Harden Johnny Torres. Blackwood still wearing the disbelief. He's got to follow up. Blackwood's in disbelief. Is this where the coaching from Garcia may have been helpful? I don't know. If it kept him in the pocket, kept his eye on the ball. Blackwood now. I don't know if I'd be summoning Jake something back to a vertical base. I might try to hit that double stop on a prone opponent. Absolutely. He's been known to fly from the top rope with it. That might have been the move, Torres. We're in the moment. If you're not feeling it, if you don't know, if that's a way or not to do it, it's all about Blackwood in there right now. Spirit has taken over Kevin Blackwood here. Rainin' down the strike. Jake something had the duck scouted though. Oh, another one. Punishing strikes. This doesn't look good. Blackwood now. Not even up on two feet here. Oh! Now that the Capitator has ever seen one tap shot. Yeah, count out victory at this rate. I don't know if Blackwood's going to be able to get up. He's up somehow some way. Jake something though. Get out of the way. He realizes it. Double stop from the top will be the difference maker, Torres. Summoning the energy. Here he comes. Plans it. What? Oh, no. What is this? Jake something. Kevin Blackwood. Stop it. Check here. He's got to go to the top. Ascending. He's got to get it all. He's got to get it all. He's got to get it all right now, Torres. Something moves out of the way. Blackwood now feeling it. Catches him. What is this? Brings him back to his feet. Two. Two. Three. A thing short of an impressive victory for Jake. They sub-given to the heart of Kevin Blackwood. That is the Kevin Blackwood of all that we are familiar with. That's what I would want to kick it off. Jake something here at prize possession. Wow. Hello everyone. My name is Michael Laby and welcome to Maine's pro-wrestling history. Babe Ruth was one of the greatest baseball players of all time. In his 22 seasons with Major League Baseball, he played with the Boston Red Sox, the New York Yankees, and then finished his career again in Boston for the Boston Braves. He was the first real home run king in baseball. And incidentally, while playing for the Boston Red Sox, he did play an exhibition game in Sanford, Maine at Goodall Field where he hit a home run. Now, what does this have to do with professional wrestling? Well, in 1945, about 10 years after his playing days were behind him, Babe Ruth agreed to be the referee for some wrestling matches in Boston, Massachusetts, and in Portland, Maine. And on April 2, 1945, 2,300 fans packed the Portland Expo where Ruth would officiate his first match between Leo Numa and bad guy, Manuel Cortez. Now, Cortez had been overly aggressive with a baby-faced Numa that night, and Ruth had to get physically involved separating the two men on more than one occasion. The end of the contest came when Cortez took a swing at the great Bambino, a mistake, no doubt, and Babe Ruth called for the bell disqualifying the bad guy. Now, the two men would square off with each other before Cortez thought better of it and backed off. I'm Michael Abbey, and this has been Maine's pro wrestling history. A world championship picture that everybody's trying to get into at this point. As we approach the Vacation Land Cup for this year, you better believe Matt Cross beating one of the current entrants to this year's Vacation Land Cup with clinch of birth. Certainly have him coming back here from the middle of nowhere. Oh, nowhere, Herman. Absolutely not. You know what I'm trying to say. Anthony Green now working the headlock here on M Dogg 20, Matt Cross. And Matt Cross, like I said, he's no stranger to limitless wrestling. He could be doing it to MJF not too, too long ago. It's just a couple of years ago as we're heading towards our sixth anniversary here in September. Matt Cross as well. I do believe he's taking on Christian Casanova in the past here. A-G. Looking to perhaps take one at the expense of Anthony Green. Anthony Green, reminder, never alone. He relinquished it. He relinquished it. He wants it back. Vacation Land Cup may be in the way. Providing that fan in the front row with little interaction. That's what you get when you spring for the front row tickets here. Absolutely. Taking Anthony Green off his feet. One of the finest buyers on this. A tremendous professional wrestler before going down with the NXT crew. Imagine the tutelage being under the learning tree of guys like Prince Albert, Matt Bloom, William Regal. Talk about people like, you know, all the guests that come by there. My goodness. It's a plethora. It's a learning tree and Anthony Green stuck roots down. And he brought it back here tonight. Looking to take it at the expense of Anthony Green. buyers to do it. Nearly wrote half, probably wrote half of the book on modern high-flying. Harris, shot from Anthony Green. Yeah, nothing aerial about this. Probably the way that Anthony Green would want to keep this. No, sir. One of the best all-rounders in the game today. Showing it off. Pendulum backbreaker. Might have been looking to follow up the headlock takeover, but M-Doc 20, Matt Cross had it scouted, went for the cover. Hey, Speckman says we're just not there yet. Absolutely. Anthony Green, though. Really feels. Matt Cross stalking Anthony Green into the corner. There's the wind up. Precision connection of the jaw of the alternative Anthony Green. Hey, and let's make it three. Anthony Green. You say you got to be looking, you know, Anthony Green's repertoire of moves here. A lot of his moves could be hit at any time. We've seen that new, beautiful punch of his. Something as simple as a punch, just so effective, the good hand. We've seen that former Shakerhide spike is now the alternate, the alternate ending. Of course, the so much prettier take on the alternative. Of course. All of those moves could hit at a moment's notice. And that could be the end for Matt Cross. That's part of the art form of the alternative, that ability to catch that sudden offense at any given moment. And Herman Main, rallying behind the alternative, drags his way out of the chin lock. Matt Cross coming in hot. He's a chin breaker. Catching up with a neck breaker now to the Anthony Green. Corner. Here comes Anthony Green. Bandera to the outside. A lot of the house over. Anthony Greendale going to the top rope. What is this? Catching up with another. You say that belly to back, suplex turning. Leaving no doubt as Anthony Green. Taking his time now. Going to be perhaps looking at that good hand. Driving the wind out of the lungs there. Beautiful knife edge chop brought into the snap mare. Beautiful drop kick to the back of the neck. Into the cover. Two. Get out of the count of two, Nate Speckman. Anthony Green disagrees a little bit, I think. Matt Cross might be out in trouble. You mentioned it before. He's shaking those fingers out. That neck damage might be paying dividends. Absolutely. You say that neck breaker started earlier in the contest. Anthony Green shooting them in. Going to come in hot. Boots to the face from Matt Cross. Neck was in a bad way before. Still so much time. A young man in his own right. I don't want to take away any. A.G. trying to keep that tempo in his court. You say that the Matt Cross supporters coming out in droves as well there. Come in. Well, once again, he ate the feet of Matt Cross. He's up to the second rope. Jumping over Anthony Green. Hanging the ropes. Building that tempo. Catching up again with the calls. Matt Cross springboard. Connecting force across the jaw. Nearly a knockout shot. Outstanding battle here in Herman, Maine. Watching Leave No Doubt on IWTV. Join the conversation. Hashtag Leave No Doubt. Matt Cross. Anthony Green. Leaving it all in the limelight wrestling ring. Matt Cross low to his feet. Anthony Green big shot. Right across the jaw. What a rush. What a bull rush into that corner. Anthony Green now. Brings him up to the second. Look at Anthony Green be looking for here. Making the proper adjustments. Might be thinking Superplex. That's a gun. Thinking Superplex. Superplex here in the second. Matt Cross holding on for dear life. Cross. Trying to battle off. Oh, wait a minute. They'll stop right to the back. What's to do to put away? Two weathered warriors. Giving it everything they have. Off shots. Four arms from Matt Cross. Anthony Green mustering up a forearm of his own. Giving no ground. Giving no quarter. There's another shot to the face. Another forearm. That's a punch. Testing each other's chins. Anthony Green. Looking for that good hand once again. Catch them up in the fireman's carry position. Matt Cross spins them around. Anthony Green escapes. Catch them. Kick to the side. What is this? Out from the deep cuts. And Matt Cross. Spiked on his head. Punching him off. Matt Cross a margin for error.
