Best Of Reality Of Wrestling: I’ve Seen Much Worse

Best Of Reality Of Wrestling
Commentators: Brad Gilmore, Anthony Pratt, Matt Topolski, Shaul Guerrero

The title kind of says it all here as we have a DVD collection of matches from Booker T.’s promotion in Texas. This is from a bunch of different shows so there is nothing in the way of continuity here. I’ve only seen a bit from this promotion before so I’m going in blind, which can often be fun. Let’s get to it.

From Summer Of Champions 2, August 8, 2015.

Diamonds Title: Miranda vs. Robin vs. Athena

The title is vacant coming in and Athena is better known as Ember Moon or…well, Athena actually. Robin, who is listed as Ivory on the DVD and is apparently named Ivory Robin, is double teamed down to start but Athena clears the ring. Athena hits back to back suicide dives and throws Robin back inside.

Robin grabs a reverse chinlock but Miranda is back in with a running dropkick for two. A spear on the apron drops Athena for two, as Athena gets her boot on the rope. Back up and Athena hits a suplex, followed by what would become the O Face (seemingly debuting it) on Miranda. Robin throws Athena outside though and steals the pin and the title at 5:25.

Rating: C+. This was short and to the point, as the Women’s Revolution was just starting to come together in WWE so things hadn’t picked up everywhere else. Athena was getting to showcase herself here and it worked rather well. The O Face is still a great finisher and it’s no surprise that Athena was on her way to WWE, as you could certainly see the talent shining through there.

Lita of all people comes out to present the title in a surprise.

Reality Of Wrestling Title: Ayden Cristiano vs. Gino

Cristiano, with Reina, is defending in Lucha Extrema (anything goes) and this is title vs. career. Cristiano starts fast and hits a pair of Helluva Kicks as commentary explains that Cristiano was a father figure to Gino when Gino’s father died. Gino gets sent outside and is kicked down again but fights back. An apron 619 misses so Gino settles for a kick to the head. A hurricanrana off the apron drops Cristiano again for two on the floor, with Reina breaking up the cover.

Gino grabs a chair to chase Reina off but Cristiano uses the chair to knock a dive out of the air. Back up and the apron 619 sends the chair into Cristiano’s face but here is Cristiano’s La Familia to jump Gino. The steps are carried up to the stage, where Cristiano rips up Gino’s father’s mask for the personal touch. Gino fights out and hits a running dive off the steps to put La Familia through some tables.

Cristiano is back with something metal to the face and they come back to ringside, where Gino sends him through the barricade. A hammerlock lariat gives Gino two and the fans come back down in a hurry. Cristiano can’t hit a piledriver on the exposed concrete but a backdrop onto the concrete connects. Back in and Cristiano hits a top rope elbow for two so he grabs a wrench. The turnbuckle is taken off and a running shot to the face gives Cristiano another near fall. They chop it out until Cristiano is sent into the corner. Eat Defeat gives Gino the pin and the title at 14:14.

Rating: B+. They were pulling me into this one with a good story as I wanted to see Gino pull this off. It felt like a big moment to see Gino beat Cristiano, who has apparently tormented him for a good while. That’s the kind of thing that makes for a solid performance and I was into what they were doing. Nice stuff here, especially for two people I barely know.

Post match Gino celebrates and gets the mask back for a bonus.

From Christmas Chaos XI, December 10, 2016.

Reality Of Wrestling Title: Gino vs. Evan Snow

Snow is defending in a ladder match, having won the title after it was stripped from Gino. Snow dances a lot and is billed from Hip Hop, USA. They fight over a lockup to start until Gino misses Eat Defeat. The lockup goes on again until they fall over the top rope and crash out to the floor. Gino wins a slugout on the floor but Snow is back up with a flip dive off the apron.

It’s time for a ladder, albeit not a tall one. We’re clipped to Snow knocking the ladder into Gino’s face and then bringing in a bigger ladder. Snow climbs, only to dive at Gino, who knocks him out of the air. Back up and Snow bridges a ladder into the big one but Gino flips him face first onto the bridged one, sending the whole thing down. Gino gets smart by crushing Snow’s leg in between and with the ladder. Snow starts getting up so Gino is smart enough to get down and take out the leg again.

Gino suplexes him onto the ladder and we take a break. Back with Snow hitting a superkick and giving Gino a Gory Bomb onto the ladder in the corner. They both climb until Snow grabs a sunset bomb (What leg injury?) for the big crash back down. Snow knocks him off the ladder again and jumps from the top over the ladder for a Hip Hop Drop (guillotine legdrop). Back up and Gino grabs Eat Defeat off the ladder for the big crash. That’s enough for Gino to go up and pull down the title at 12:29 shown.

Rating: B-. It was your normal ladder match with all of the big bumps and crashes, though I was a little confused about who I was supposed to be cheering. Gino was the big face a year later but this felt like Snow was the big babyface here. Either way, another good match as this Gino guy isn’t bad.

Post match Rey Mysterio shows up as a surprise to present Gino with a new title belt. Welp, he’s definitely a good guy.

From Final Heat, February 21, 2025.

We recap Harlem Heat challenging the Heavenly Bodies for the Tag Team Titles. Booker T. said the titles had been hijacked so he was going to take the titles back himself. He needed a partner, but Stevie Ray showed up to say Booker really needed his brother. The Bodies weren’t impressed but the match was on.

Tag Team Titles: Harlem Heat vs. Heavenly Bodies

The Bodies (Desirable Dustin/Gigolo Justin) are defending and this is Harlem Heat’s first match together in almost fifteen years. Booker backs Justin into the corner to start and the fans are rather happy. Ray comes in to chop and elbow away in the corner as commentary runs down the teams that Harlem Heat has defeated over the years. It’s back to Booker, who gets taken into the corner by Dustin for some shots to the face.

Booker gets in a superkick to cut that off in a hurry and Ray comes in again for a shot to the ribs. We’re clipped to Justin getting in a cheap shot to Booker from the apron. Booker gets knocked to the floor so Justin can hammer away. Back in and Dustin hits a corner clothesline for two, followed by a front facelock. It’s too early for the tag back to Ray though as Booker is pulled into the wrong corner for some stomping.

We hit the chinlock but Booker fights out, only to get clotheslined back down. The abdominal stretch goes on instead, with Booker hiptossing his way to freedom. Raw gets drawn in before the tag though and Booker gets stomped down in the corner. A double clothesline gets Booker out of trouble and the big tag brings in Ray to clean house. Ray powerslams Dustin for two and everything breaks down, with Booker clotheslining Justin out to the floor. The Ax kick gives Booker the pin and the titles at 10:50.

Rating: C. The match was a pretty basic formula, with Ray’s time in the ring being rather limited. That’s not a bad thing for the most part, as Ray was more of a special attraction than anything else. He was only so good in the first place so having him back after this much of a layoff was going to have limited results. That being said, the title win was a nice moment, even if Harlem Heat would vacate the titles a few weeks later, with the Bodies holding the title for the better part of a year after. Still though, nice enough moment here.

From Ladies Night Out, February 17, 2018.

Diamonds Title: Hyan vs. Kylie Rae

Rae is defending but doesn’t have the belt for some reason. Feeling out process to start with the fans being behind Rae, who does in fact smile a lot. Rae takes her down into a front facelock and gets two off a rollup, which leaves Hyan a bit frustrated. A headscissors sends Hyan into the ropes and a running knee knocks her back out. With nothing else working, Hyan grabs the referee for a distraction and hits the ropes to crotch Rae on top. Some elbows in the corner keep Rae in trouble and Hyan grabs a chinlock.

That’s broken up so Rae gets up an elbow in the corner to cut off a charge. A basement superkick misses for Rae and Hyan grabs a rollup for two. Back up and the basement superkick connects for Rae and she can’t believe the kickout. Hyan starts in on the arm and cranks away before slamming it into the mat for two. A Disarm-Her has Rae in more trouble but Hyan lets her go, instead option for a running knee and another near fall.

Rae knocks her off the top though and a missile dropkick connects to leave them both down. They both get up at a count of nine and trade the forearms until Rae pulls her into the crossface. The rope is grabbed for the break and Hyan gets her own crossface (ignore that it’s not on the arm she had been working over). That’s countered into a rollup for two but Hyan is back with a heck of a Glam Slam for the pin and the title at 13:43.

Rating: B-. Nice match here, with Hyan getting to show what she can do and win the title in a pretty good showdown. These two have had quite the rivalry and it felt like a showdown. Rae is someone who has done some good things in a variety of places over the year and it’s no surprise that she had another good performance here. That Glam Slam at the end was very good too, as Rae landed hard and it looked like a knockout blow.

Post match Hyan gets the title, which was on the stage for some reason.

From No Limits 2017, May 31, 2017.

JJ Blake interrupts the introduction and says he’s the champion of all televisions.

TV Title: Terrale Tempo vs. JJ Blake

Blake is defending inside a cage and there are some weapons hanging from the top. Tempo grabs a headlock to start and we get some rather blatant spot calling on the mat. Blake is back up with a dropkick, only to get crossbodied for two. A jumping elbow gets the same and things slow down as we take a break. Back with Tempo hitting a backdrop and going up, where he grabs a chair.

With Blake down again, Tempo grabs a trashcan, with commentary pointing out that he could just leave instead of going for the weapons. The delay lets Blake come back with a steel rod to the ribs for two. A belly to back suplex gets two on Tempo but he’s right back up to put the trashcan in the corner. Blake is sent into the cage a few times and a spinebuster puts him down again.

Tempo hits a dropkick into the cage but Blake is able to crotch him on top. Blake puts him in the trashcan in the corner and hits a step up dropkick to crush him again. The kickout has Blake panicking and we take another break. Back again with Tempo superplexing him off the cage for the THIS IS AWESOME chants and a double down. Tempo gets a very delayed two so Blake fights up only to get caught in a swinging Downward Spiral for two.

That’s still not enough for Tempo to get out as Blake pulls him back in so they can slug it out on top of the cage. Tempo grabs Blake’s black hammer and knocks him off the top but here is a rather large man (Blake’s training partner Tiny) to pull Tempo out of the air. Tiny throws Tempo back inside and gives him a chokebomb so Blake can get the retaining pin at 13:43 shown.

Rating: B-. Not the best ending, but they had a good match where they beat each other up pretty well. That’s the point of putting them in a cage for a grudge match and it made Tempo feel like enough of a star. I was half expecting Tempo to win anyway in a St. Valentine’s Day Massacre ending but Blake retaining so Tempo can come after the two of them again later is fine too.

From Christmas Chaos XII, December 9, 2017.

Texas Title: Mysterious Q vs. Rex Andrews vs. Johnny Impact

Q, a masked man, is defending, Andrews is a former TV Champion and I’m guessing you know Impact. Andrews drops Impact to start and grabs a Kimura on Q, with Impact making the save. Q and Impact team up to take out Andrews, leaving Impact to shoulder Q down. Impact can’t send him into the corner as Q sends him to the floor. Back in and Andrews cuts off the Q Cutter with an armbar attempt.

Andrews kicks him down into a Fujiwara armbar but Impact makes the save for a showdown. They circle each other for a bit until Andrews suplexes Impact for two. Back up and Impact kicks Andrews down but Q breaks up Starship Pain. They all wind up in the corner, with Impact German superplexing both of them down. Back up and Impact gets beaten between the two of them, only to send them both into the corner.

The sliding German suplex hits Andrews but he rolls away from Starship Pain. Q’s springboard elbow gets two and he plants Impact with a spinning slam. Andrews is back in with a knockdown to Q and a Paige Turner for two on Impact. Andrews gets the cross armbreaker on Impact but has to let it go to knock Q off the top. Back in and Impact puts Andrews down, setting up the standing shooting star press for two. Q shoves Impact off the top as well though and a 450 finishes 12:49.

Rating: B. This was pretty much your standard three way match but beating Impact, even without pinning him, was a good way to make Q feel like a bigger deal. That’s why you bring someone like Impact in and Q looked good in his win. Andrews felt like he was just there for the strong style/MMA influenced offense and that doesn’t really stand out.

Bit of a weird note to end the set: Q poses as commentary advertises Gino vs. Cristiano later in the same night, which is listed earlier in the DVD.

Overall Rating: B-. It’s not a great promotion or anything that hasn’t been done better, but I’ve definitely seen far worse than what was offered here. You had seven matches which take up about two and a half hours with nothing close to bad. The worst match on the whole thing is a Harlem Heat reunion, which is a big enough deal to warrant a spot. I’ve liked the little I’ve seen of Reality Of Wrestling and you can see that, at least in this era, they had some talent that stood out. Good, fun watch here and I could go for a bit more from these people.

Texas Till I Die: Once More, With Feeling!

Texas Till I Die
Date: April 3, 2022
Location: St. Jude Hall, Arlington, Texas
Commentators: Chris Russo, Sammy Cassel

This is from New Texas Pro, which as you might guess is a local Texas promotion which ran some events over Wrestlemania XXXVIII weekend. I’m not sure what to expect from this show but there are some talented names on the card. Shows like this can go in a few different ways and hopefully this one works out well. Let’s get to it.

As you might have gathered, I don’t follow the promotion so I apologize for not knowing plot or character points.

Hyan vs. Billie Starkz

For the #1 contendership to the Women’s Title. They hit stereo pump kicks to start and that means it’s already time for a standoff. Starks sends her outside and yells at a lot of empty seats, allowing Hyan to get back up for her own dive. Back in and Hyan rolls her down into a cravate for some knees to the face. A half crab with a boot on the back of Starkz’ head makes it even worse and it’s off to an armbar.

Back up and Hyan plants her with a Wasteland for two and we hit the chinlock. Starkz fights up and hits a kick to the head of her own. They slug it out for a double knockdown but Hyan blocks a third Amigo. Hyan hits a running knee in the corner to set up a Falcon Arrow for two but Starkz rolls her up for the same. A Gory Bomb and Swanton give Starkz two each, only to have Hyan pull her into something like a crucifix with both arms cranked back for the tap at 9:35.

Rating: C. Not bad for a starter and Hyan seems like a fairly polished star. Starkz is someone who has been around the indies for a bit now and has potential but still needs some work and experience to sharpen the edges. Not a great match, but they didn’t do anything horrible and it had enough energy.

Respect is shown post match.

Tag Team Titles: Fly Def vs. JJ Blake/Cam Cole

Fly Def (Warren Johnson/Zack Mason) is challenging. Mason drives Blake into the corner to start and it’s quickly off to Cole. Johnson dropkicks him down for two but Cole grabs a headlock takeover. Back up and Cole gets his neck snapped across the top to put him back in trouble, setting up a slingshot elbow for two. Cole gets launched into the corner, where Blake is fine enough to not tag in.

Blake is willing to come in for an assist on a double clothesline and a neckbreaker gives Cole two. Back up and Mason grabs a German suplex on Blake, who cuts him off with a quick front facelock. As you might have guessed, Mason powers over for the tag but the referee is distracted, meaning the beating continues (that will always work and I love it). A Demolition Decapitator (with a knee instead of an elbow) gets two on Mason and we hit the one arm camel clutch.

Mason finally fights out and kicks Cole away, allowing the hot tag off to Johnson to start cleaning house. A sitout bulldog gives Johnson two but Cole comes in to cut him off. Cole hits a frog splash for two and a not very good looking Big Rig gets a delayed two. Everything breaks down again and a pair of running shots in the corner rock Blake.

A spinning high crossbody into a top rope splash gets two with Cole making a rather last minute save. What looks to be a Tower of Doom winds up as a sitout powerbomb to Cole, leaving Blake to get caught in a Gory Bomb/middle rope Codebreaker (doesn’t work so well but nice concept) for the pin and the titles at 13:16.

Rating: B-. I like Fly Def, but this one went on too long and the champs were in over their heads. This needed to wrap up a few saves earlier and the extra stuff didn’t really make it better. The title change is nice and Fly Def was a good enough young team, but the lack of audience noise is making this show a bit weird to watch, especially in a longer match like this one.

ASF vs. Stephen Wolf

That’s short for Antonio San Francisco. Feeling out process to start as Wolf takes him down in a front facelock with commentary talking about Wolf recovering from a horrible neck injury/surgery. ASF slips out of a rollup for two and we’re up to a standoff. Another takedown attempt is cut off by a standing backflip flip from ASF so Wolf tries a springboard wristdrag….which gets so high that he gets his feet caught in some of the drapes above the ring.

You don’t see anything like that happen very often and since Wolf is fine, ASF slips out of a powerbomb attempt and kicks him to the floor. There’s the big running flip dive to drop Wolf on the floor but he’s fine enough to avoid a 450 back inside. The Death Valley Driver into the corner gives Wolfe two and we hit the chinlock. ASF slips out and hits a springboard Sling Blade, with commentary possibly implying that was a bit more flippy than necessary.

Back up and Wolf kicks him in the face, setting up a running shooting star press for two. ASF isn’t going to be outdone with a Death Valley Driver of his own into a basement dropkick. A series of strikes from ASF looks to set up a handspring but Wolf grabs a sliding cutter (cool) for two more. Wolf misses a moonsault though and the 450 gives ASF the pin at 10:03.

Rating: C+. They had a bit of time here and while this was a very indy feeling style match with a bunch of flips and dives, it was entertaining enough to keep me interested in two guys I have barely heard of before. For a ten minute match on this kind of show, it worked out perfectly well.

Commentary compliments ASF’s…..cover. That’s a pretty rare one. Respect is shown as well.

Cole Radrick vs. Aaron Mercer

Radrick has been decent in the few matches I’ve seen from him before. We get a bit of a tentative handshake and we’re ready to go. Feeling out process to start and they trade some chops, with both of them standing still to maximize the shots. Mercer chops him so hard that blood is trickling down Radrick’s chest (dang) and a running kick to said chest gives Mercer two.

They head outside with Radrick being sent hard into the barricade to keep him in trouble. Back in and they strike it out with Radrick knocking him down for two of his own. Mercer gets knocked to the apron and grabs a triangle choke over the ropes. With that broken up, they slug it out again with Radrick getting the better of things until a running shot to the face cuts him off. Radrick gets caught with another right hand on the top and it’s Nigel McGuinness’ old Tower of London to give Mercer the pin at 8:10.

Rating: C. I’m still not big on the “you hit me and then I’ll hit you” stuff and there wasn’t much here besides that. I don’t know if Radrick was a bit tired after wrestling so much this weekend, but this didn’t exactly catch fire. Granted it doesn’t help when you are having a cold match in front of a small crowd so there is only so much that you can get going.

Post match Radrick grabs a mic and puts Mercer over. He thanks the fans for coming out and shakes Mercer’s hand, apparently finally getting to meet him.

Heather Monroe vs. Shazza McKenzie

This is McKenzie’s New Texas Pro debut. Monroe has a large fan (as in one she holds in her hand) and quite the feather boa so she’s more than a bit over the top. McKenzie cranks on the arm to start and takes it to the mat with an armbar. Monroe can’t get a Figure Four so McKenzie headlock takeovers her down. A running dropkick puts Monroe in the corner and a running shot to the face makes it worse.

Monroe is able to take her to the floor by the knee (egads) and makes fun of McKenzie’s face, which was damaged by Maven (yes that Maven, because there can be only one) over the weekend. Back in and something close to a dragon sleeper keeps McKenzie in trouble, setting up a running hip attack in the corner to make it worse. A double stomp to the back out of the corner gives Monroe two but McKenzie manages a knockdown of her own.

They’re both down for a bit, followed by a strike off. McKenzie ties her in the ropes for the rapid fire kicks to the chest and a high crossbody gets two. Monroe is fine enough to grab a half dragon suplex and a basement superkick connects for two more. They strike it out again until McKenzie hits a splits Stunner and goes up. The middle rope sunset flip is countered though and Monroe sits down and grabs the rope for the pin at 10:48.

Rating: C+. McKenzie is someone who feels like she should be ready to become a top star but never breaks through for whatever reason. You could definitely tell she had some more polish here than a lot of the other stars on the show and she did a nice job of putting over Monroe. Nice enough match here, and McKenzie still feels like she could have a lot of potential.

Six Shooter Challenge

This is a six person match with timed intervals, but a pin or submission can win the match at any time, even if everyone isn’t in yet. There is a two minute interval for the first two entrants and one minute intervals after that, with the winner gets a future title match. I’d assume six entrants but you never can tell with these things. At least it isn’t everyone at once though, with Max Heights (whose Lone Star Title isn’t on the line) in at #1 and Izzy James is in at #2.

Heights gets rolled up to start and bails to the floor for a quick breather. Back in and Heights gets some rollups of his own until he drops James pretty hard onto his shoulder. James pulls a springboard dive out of the air and grabs a Sharpshooter but Rudy Garza is in at #3 for the save. Garza snaps off Three Amigos on Heights, who is right back with a high crossbody to take both of them down. Sky de Lacrimosa (the Texas Chasinsaw, who has no chainsaw) with Cousin Otis, is in at #4 and knocks Garza out of the air.

There’s a Rock Bottom out of the corner to take out James but all three get on the monster. That doesn’t work very well and it’s Jerome Daniel Griffey (Dr. Sleep, who looks like an MMA fighter) in at #5 to go after Sky as well. Griffey gets to clean house and it’s a quadruple sleeper until T Ray is in at #6 to complete the field. It’s Griffey getting in Ray’s face, earning himself a quick T (F) 5 for two, with a group save needed.

Ray shrugs that off and sends them into the corner for some running clotheslines. A running hurricanrana drops Sky and a powerbomb gets two on Heights. Ray is knocked outside for a big flip dive from Heights, leaving Griffey to muscle Sky over for a suplex. Garza takes Griffey down but Ray is back in with a T5 to Garza….but Heights comes in to steal the pin at 10:17.

Rating: C. I liked the staggered entrances deal but yeah this was just another scramble match and nothing more. Heights seems like a good villain, but there is only so much to be gathered from a match with six people over ten minutes. T Ray felt like a good monster and Sky is probably going to be a threat to multiple people around here, but find a better way to showcase them than throwing everyone in at once.

Heights immediately runs off in a smart move.

Women’s Title: Raychell Rose vs. Willow Nightingale

Rose is defending and gets powered away to start. Nightingale’s headlock is broken up and they go to the grappling for a change. Back up and Nightingale flips to the middle of the ring for some quick dancing. Nightingale manages Two Amigos before the third is countered into a small package for two.

A fisherman’s buster plants Rose for two but she’s right back to work on Nightingale’s leg in the corner. The leg cranking stays on in the middle of the ring before a running knee in the corner rocks Nightingale again. Nightingale quickly fights out of a chinlock and scores with a heck of a clothesline for a double knockdown.

The clothesline comeback is on, setting up a spinebuster to give Nightingale two. There’s the Pounce into a Cannonball in the corner for two but Rose knocks her off the top. Rose’s spear connects for two but Nightingale knocks her off the top as well. Rose goes right back to the leg and a running knee to the back of the head (ala Adam Cole’s Last Shot) retains the title at 10:12.

Rating: C+. Nightingale is such fun to watch but she didn’t get to do as much of her thing here. She has so much charisma and it is so easy to like her so having her around helped a lot. Other than that, Rose was fine as a champion for Nightingale to go after, making this a perfectly fine title match.

Mysterious Q vs. Davey Richards

For a future New Japan Pro Title match. Feeling out process to start with Richards getting him down by the arm. An exchange of cradles gets two each and Richards takes a quick breather on the floor. Richards comes back in and kicks him down to set up the chinlock. With that not working, Richards kicks away at the arm before cranking away at it in various painful looking ways.

They head outside where Q cuts off the big kick to the chest, only to have Richards take out the leg again back inside. A running dropkick to the knee sets up the Figure Four, which Q turns over to send Richards to the rope. Richards is fine enough to kick him down again as commentary wonders why Q can’t get anything going. Back up and Q grabs a release German suplex, followed by the Q Cutter for a delayed two.

A dragon screw legwhip over the rope lets Richards go up, where he misses the double stomp. Richards instead grabs an Indian Deathlock to send Q bailing to the ropes again. They slug it out until Q’s handspring kick to the face is countered into an ankle lock. That’s broken up so Richards kicks him down and hits the top rope double stomp for two. A brainbuster gets two more so we hit the ankle lock again, which Q reverses into a cradle for the pin out of nowhere at 15:48.

Rating: B-. In case you were wondering, no, Richards has not gained the ability to show emotion or do much beyond striking people rather hard. I know he has an audience and some people are into this stuff, but I’ve never been a fan and Q didn’t get in much here, with even commentary acknowledging it. Q has a good look and some size, but this wasn’t a good showcase of him because of all the Richards dominance.

Respect is shown post match to end the show.

Overall Rating: C+. This was a show where the wrestling was pretty good for the most part but it was such a dry event that I was dreading watching most of it. Maybe it was the small crowd and venue, but there was almost nothing on here that would make me want to watch more from the promotion. There was no emotion here at all and it felt like a show that could be done better by other promotions. That doesn’t make it feel special, but rather just kind of there.
