Kane, J&J Security (Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury) and Seth Rollins show up to begin tonight's show. He makes fun of the Washington, DC crowd as they have no idea how to gain true power or what true power even is. He says true power is earned by taking it before saying that last week, he went to Suplex City and burned it down when he beat down Brock Lesnar last week. Lesnar is not here tonight, according to Rollins. He then focuses on Jamie Noble's injury at Lesnar's hands last week, and commands the WWE Universe to show him some respect. He then tells Kane and J&J Security that he has something for them for their appreciation: brand new Apple watches, which the three of them enjoy. Rollins then tells Kane has something extra for him for being the glue that has held WWE together for 17 years: a vacation to Hawaii. Kane also gets an Hawaiian welcoming party, and Kane is ecstatic. Rollins proposes a no-disqualification tag team match with him and Kane vs. Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose for later tonight, then awards J&J Security a brand new 2015 Cadillac CTS worth $55,660 with an all-leather interior (for Joey) after seeing them in a crappy rental car.
The Miz guests on commentary for the next match.
Big Show beats Mark Henry. After the match, Ryback shows up and easily fights off Show, then The Miz rushes into the ring, hits a big boot on Ryback and flees up the entrance ramp. Ryback gets right back up, grabs the microphone and tells Miz to get back in the ring as he doesn't care if they have a match later tonight.
Ryback beats The Miz by count-out after The Miz runs away from the Meat Hook and runs up the ramp and towards the back.
Paige beats Alicia Fox with a nail-biter of a roll-up reversal.
John Cena shows up...and Kevin Owens answers his open challenge for the WWE United States Championship. But Owens grabs the microphone and says he'll wait for Battleground, before introducing Cena's real opponent for tonight: Cesaro. Owens then guests on commentary.
Cesaro vs. John Cena for the WWE United States Championship goes from an intense match to a complete washout after Kevin Owens rushes the ring and lays waste to both men before saying he did this to ensure he would win the title at Battleground.
Bray Wyatt appears on the TitanTron. He talks about his relationship with his father and says that anyone but Roman Reigns deserves what Roman has.
The Lucha Dragons (Sin Cara and Kalisto) and The Prime Time Players (Darren Young and Titus O'Neil) beat The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) and Bo Dallas.
Dolph Ziggler and Lana show up. Dolph admits that Lana used him to get back at Rusev at first, but says the situation has changed. Lana says that Rusev basically told her what to do, but now that she's her own woman, she realizes that Ziggler is more of a man than him. She admits that they have become more than just friends, then Rusev shows up...with Summer Rae. He calls Lana a "goldfish," but Ziggler shuts him up and tells him to walk away. They stare down, then Rusev backs away, but Summer Rae grabs the mic and calls Lana a gold digger before telling her to admit that she's just a two-timing phony. Summer then slaps her, and Lana responds by finally losing it and attacking her.
Dean Ambrose is talking to some life-size Terminator models (a reference to tonight's main event's sponsor, the upcoming movie Terminator Genisys, coming to theaters this Wednesday) when Roman Reigns shows up. Ambrose wants an angry Reigns for tonight...and he gets it.
Sheamus beats Neville.
King Barrett beats Jack Swagger.
Kane and Seth Rollins beat Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns in a no-disqualification match due to the surprise attack by Bray Wyatt. After the match, Rollins and J&J Security (Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble) almost put Ambrose through a table, but Roman fights them off only to fall victim to a choke slam from Kane. Rollins taunts a downed Reigns only for Reigns to fight back once more, only to fall victim to the numbers game once again. Seth Rollins then puts Roman Reigns through the table, but Roman is still stirring, and Rollins hits another Pedigree. Bray Wyatt then returns to an empty ring and hits Sister Abigail on a downed Roman Reigns to end the show.

Lucha, Lucha and MORE Lucha!
Alright, guys, here it is. I am going to do more than just recaps of the same shows each week. Not only am I venturing into more Puroresu, I am venturing into more Lucha Libre as well! Earlier this month, I did live coverage of one of AAA's top events called Verano de Escandalo ("Summer of Scandal"), and since then, I've been wanting to expand this blog into more international wrestling. Let's get started!
I've been getting into +Lucha TV, which gives fans the latest scoops on shows from promotions all round Mexico - from the thriving independent circuit to the major league promotions of CMLL and AAA. Along with their weekly episodes, they also give featured clips of various luchadors y luchadoras. Here's one of their most recent full episodes, from June 10th, 2015, which features matches and news from AAA, CaraLucha Promociones, Chilanga Lucha Libre, and more!:

Kane calls Big Show "extended family of The Authority," saying he's not here tonight due to Ryback taking him down backstage on Monday. Kane calls out Ryback, and Ryback shows up. After Kane and Rollins chastise Ryback for his actions, Ryback calls Rollins out on his own crap, saying Rollins isn't a real champion. Kane then puts Ryback in a match against himself to see if he can prove his words. As Kane, Rollins and Mercury leave, Rollins cuts Kane's music off by saying he's tired of the lack of respect he's getting and decides to fight Dean Ambrose in a match tonight to finish what he started with him.

The New Day and Bo Dallas hit it off after he tells them to Bolieve, and Bo Dallas gets a chance to practice his New Day clap with them.

Jeff Jarrett and his wife Karen suddenly show up, much to the surprise of Josh Mathews and D'Angelo Dinero. Jeff is wearing a Global Force Wrestling T-shirt. A week ago, he was promoting a GFW show when TNA contacted him with a proposal. That proposal is a match, and not just any match. It's a King of the Mountain Match, and it's at Slammiversary this Sunday. Jarrett rattles off the names of wrestlers who became TNA legends, then hands the mike to Karen so she can air her reaction. She was against this at first, but she supported Jeff, who she says didn't leave TNA the way he wanted to go out. Jarrett says he's in the match Sunday, and says he's going to come out on top in TNA one last time.
Bram's opponent is none other than Vader.
Vader beats Bram by disqualification when Bram hits him with the steel turnbuckle. Bram continues to attack him when he is attacked by none other than "The Blueprint" Matt Morgan, who hasn't been seen in TNA in almost two years.
Eric Young beats Chris Melendez.
The Rising (Drew Galloway, Eli Drake, Micah) and The Beat Down Clan (MVP, Kenny King, Low Ki) are brawling in the ring as soon as we come back from commercials, and the BDC bring out a new secret weapon: Hernandez, who also hasn't been in TNA for a while.
Kurt Angle beats Matt Hardy with the Ankle Lock Submission. After the match, Ethan Carter III and Tyrus show up, and Matt Hardy fights them both off long enough so that Angle can fight back and put EC3 in the Ankle Lock Submission to end the show.
After the show, it is revealed that the contract signing segment involving "The Cowboy" James Storm and Magnus was not shown on television because their match is that personal. Their match is non-sanctioned, which means anything goes, the referee is only there to call the bell, and that nobody can be held liable for what happens.
Generation NXT - NXT recap for June 24, 2015
Hideo Itami shows up for the first time since NXT Takeover: Unstoppable. He'll be out for three or four months, and he'll be at the July 4th event in Tokyo. Kevin Owens shows up and says he's happy for Hideo, but says he's leaving Tokyo with the title as he makes it all about him. He also botches one of his lines, but makes fun of said botch by saying it sounded like Itami trying to speak English. He then wants an apology from Itami for saying he's a bad person, but Itami tells him he's both a great champion and a terrible human being. Owens decides to injure Hideo's other arm, and is about to get in the ring when Finn Balor shows up and stops him. Before Balor can hit the coup de grace on Owens, Rhyno shows up from out of nowhere and attacks Balor.
Finn Balor vs Rhyno is announced as tonight's main event.

Suddenly, Dean Ambrose shows up, reminds him he has the briefcase thanks to Bray Wyatt, and tells him he beat him last week.

Wednesday Night iMPACT! - Impact Wrestling recap for June 17, 2015
The show begins with a tribute to Dusty Rhodes.
Mike Tenay hosts the contract signing for Ethan Carter III vs. Kurt Angle for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. After both men get in the ring, they get a chance to have their say prior to the bout. Ethan Carter III lays some sweet poetry about whom Kurt Angle has beaten in his career before telling him that unlike all those legends, he hasn't been beaten and that he will be Angle's endgame. Angle says the best matches are made for him, and that this one will be no different, especially when he plans to make this match a nightmare for EC3. According to the contract, both men will have "tune-up matches" prior to the match that will happen in 14 days' time, and EC3 finds out straight from Angle that he's facing Lashley.
Before The Wolves (Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards) and The Dirty Heels (Bobby Roode and Austin Aries) face off in Match 4 of their Best of Five Series, The Wolves say that the tag team titles are what counts as they signify who is the best tag team in the world, and that they have proven that before with every tag team that's been thrown in their path. After they call The Wolves call The Dity Heels out, Bobby Roode shows up and says Austin Aries isn't medically cleared due to his match with Kurt Angle last week, and that he and Aries call the shots. The Wolves then challenge Roode to a singles match, and Roode almost doesn't want to do it until he comes up with a grand idea in order to see how badly The Wolves want him in the ring: whoever wins the match gets to pick the stipulation for the fourth match in their Best of Five Series. They like the idea, and Eddie Edwards challenges Roode to a match, right here, right now. Roode accepts the challenge.
Eddie Edwards beats Bobby Roode when Austin Aries suddenly shows up and tosses a steel chair to Roode only for Davey Richards to take it from him, leading to Edwards stacking Roode up off the distraction. Richards and Edwards immediately pick Full Metal Mayhem as the stipulation for Match 4 of their Best of Five Series.
Jeremy Borash runs into Joseph Park, who has fallen on hard times since his ugly exit from Impact Wrestling. He plans to make a comeback by challenging Bram tonight.
Bram is backstage. He doesn't like cameras, apparently.
Bram beats Joseph Park after putting him through a table.
Taryn Terrell has set up a stipulation for tonight's tag match between The Dollhouse (Taryn, Jade, Marti Bell) and the team of Brooke and Awesome Kong. If Brooke and Kong win, they both get a shot at the Knockouts title. If they lose, they can never get a Knockouts title shot for as long as she holds the title.
The world is burning. Playtime's over...
Brooke and Awesome Kong beat The Dollhouse (Jade and Marti Bell) to secure title shots at Taryn Terrell and the TNA Knockouts Championship.
Chris Melendez shows up. He's not happy at all that Eric Young ripped his prosthetic leg and disrespected him and everything he represents. He calls out Eric Young, who shows up promptly. He shows impressive respect for Melendez' military career, but says he doesn't care about him, the fans or anybody except himself. As for ripping his leg out and choking him with it, he came up with the idea on the spur of the moment. When he asks how badly Melendez wants him alone in the ring next week, Melendez makes it clear he wants him very badly. The match is on for next week.
Jessie Godderz beats DJ Z with the Boston Crab. After the match, he tells DJ Z that his attack on him was no mistake, and tortures him as he puts himself on a pedestal, saying he's the reason that he and Robbie E won the tag team titles twice. As he goes for a press slam on DJ Z, Robbie E shows up and brawls with Jessie, forcing Jessie to retreat.
Magnus shows up and threatens to crack open some heads until "The Cowboy" James Storm comes out. Security shows up, followed by Storm. Storm tries to sow distrust between Magnus and Mickie James and make himself look like the bad guy, then pulls out a baby stroller that he plans to use as an "insurance policy" against Magnus. Magnus goes after Storm, and decks the security guards that hold him back only to find out that the stroller only has a doll inside and not his son Donovan. Storm runs away and Magnus gives chase.
Ethan Carter III beats Lashley despite three referees having to make the count due to Tyrus attacking all of them.

According to the contract, both men will have "tune-up matches" prior to the match that will happen in 14 days' time, and EC3 finds out straight from Angle that he's facing Lashley.
Before The Wolves (Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards) and The Dirty Heels (Bobby Roode and Austin Aries) face off in Match 4 of their Best of Five Series, The Wolves say that the tag team titles are what counts as they signify who is the best tag team in the world, and that they have proven that before with every tag team that's been thrown in their path. After they call The Wolves call The Dity Heels out, Bobby Roode shows up and says Austin Aries isn't medically cleared due to his match with Kurt Angle last week, and that he and Aries call the shots. The Wolves then challenge Roode to a singles match, and Roode almost doesn't want to do it until he comes up with a grand idea in order to see how badly The Wolves want him in the ring: whoever wins the match gets to pick the stipulation for the fourth match in their Best of Five Series. They like the idea, and Eddie Edwards challenges Roode to a match, right here, right now. Roode accepts the challenge.
Eddie Edwards beats Bobby Roode when Austin Aries suddenly shows up and tosses a steel chair to Roode only for Davey Richards to take it from him, leading to Edwards stacking Roode up off the distraction. Richards and Edwards immediately pick Full Metal Mayhem as the stipulation for Match 4 of their Best of Five Series.
Jeremy Borash runs into Joseph Park, who has fallen on hard times since his ugly exit from Impact Wrestling. He plans to make a comeback by challenging Bram tonight.
Bram is backstage. He doesn't like cameras, apparently.
Bram beats Joseph Park after putting him through a table.
Taryn Terrell has set up a stipulation for tonight's tag match between The Dollhouse (Taryn, Jade, Marti Bell) and the team of Brooke and Awesome Kong. If Brooke and Kong win, they both get a shot at the Knockouts title. If they lose, they can never get a Knockouts title shot for as long as she holds the title.
The world is burning. Playtime's over...
Brooke and Awesome Kong beat The Dollhouse (Jade and Marti Bell) to secure title shots at Taryn Terrell and the TNA Knockouts Championship.
Chris Melendez shows up. He's not happy at all that Eric Young ripped his prosthetic leg and disrespected him and everything he represents. He calls out Eric Young, who shows up promptly. He shows impressive respect for Melendez' military career, but says he doesn't care about him, the fans or anybody except himself. As for ripping his leg out and choking him with it, he came up with the idea on the spur of the moment. When he asks how badly Melendez wants him alone in the ring next week, Melendez makes it clear he wants him very badly. The match is on for next week.
Jessie Godderz beats DJ Z with the Boston Crab. After the match, he tells DJ Z that his attack on him was no mistake, and tortures him as he puts himself on a pedestal, saying he's the reason that he and Robbie E won the tag team titles twice. As he goes for a press slam on DJ Z, Robbie E shows up and brawls with Jessie, forcing Jessie to retreat.
Magnus shows up and threatens to crack open some heads until "The Cowboy" James Storm comes out. Security shows up, followed by Storm. Storm tries to sow distrust between Magnus and Mickie James and make himself look like the bad guy, then pulls out a baby stroller that he plans to use as an "insurance policy" against Magnus. Magnus goes after Storm, and decks the security guards that hold him back only to find out that the stroller only has a doll inside and not his son Donovan. Storm runs away and Magnus gives chase.
Ethan Carter III beats Lashley despite three referees having to make the count due to Tyrus attacking all of them.

Gettin' RAW - Monday Night RAW recap for June 15, 2015
The show begins with a tribute to Dusty Rhodes.
Seth Rollins shows up to start the show. He acknowledges Dean Ambrose for bringing his A-game to Money In The Bank last night, then says Ambrose's A-game isn't as good as his. He names down a list of people to thank, which consists only of himself and nobody else. He then tells everyone to take a good look at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, as he says LeBron James will never bring a championship to Cleveland, Ohio. Suddenly, Dean Ambrose shows up. Ambrose and Rollins waste no time going at each others' throats, and even though Ambrose is walking upright perfectly, Rollins tries to work on it again only for Ambrose to fight back. Rollins retreats, and Ambrose grabs a steel chair and a microphone, threatening to hold a sit-in until Rollins comes back.
As Dean Ambrose continues to sit in wait, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon tell Seth Rollins they take his list of thanks from earlier very seriously. They have a plan for taking care of Ambrose. As for what's next for Rollins, Triple H and Stephanie tell him he'll find out at the end of the night.
Ambrose is sitting in the ring when Sheamus shows up. Sheamus calls Ambrose a loser for his crushing defeat last night, and that he's here as per Triple H and Stephanie McMahon to kick his head clean off his shoulders. This starts a match.
Dean Ambrose beats Sheamus when Sheamus tries to retreat only to have his escape route cut off by Randy Orton. After the match, Orton goes straight for Sheamus and gives him a beatdown before he retreats.
Seth Rollins tries to get J&J Security (Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble) to tell him who Triple H and Stephanie McMahon have lined up for him, but Jamie Noble says they don't know and thinks that Joey Mercury should have a shot at Rollins. Rollins thinks J&J Security are trying to get their jobs back, but Joey insists that he can't wait to get a golden opportunity at him.
We see excerpts of classic Dusty Rhodes matches throughout the show.
R-Truth shows up with a toilet plunger and a white bedsheet for a royal cape, but finds out he's in a match with King Barrett.

Barrett then teats Truth's paper crown and stomps on his bedsheet cape before telling Truth he is making a mockery of his royal title.
Major label recording artist MGK meets the Superstars and Divas of the WWE.
Kevin Owens shows up, fresh off of a loss last night which drove him to injure John Cena after the match with a powerbomb into the ring apron. He says that Cena forced him to do that after Cena told him he belonged in the ring with all these people, which he took as an insult as he doesn't need Cena to validate that. He calls Cena a bad winner for trying to shake hands with him after last night's match, and says it's Cena trying to hog the spotlight. He then demands Cena/Owens III...for the United States title. Since Cena's out tonight, he decides to hold an open challenge for the NXT Championship. Dolph Ziggler answers the challenge, saying he's had to scratch and claw his way to everything he's earned in the WWE, and that tonight will be no different. Before the match starts, however, Owens states he did not explicitly state that he was defending the NXT Championship, effectively making this a non-title match.
Kevin Owens beats Dolph Ziggler.
Paige holds an emergency meeting with all the other Divas, trying to get them to band together against The Bella Twins (Brie and Nikki Bella).

Kane beats Randy Orton after Sheamus shows up and Kane uses the opportunity (and his Director of Operations powers) to make the rest of the match no-holds-barred. Sheamus puts Orton down with a Brogue Kick and Kane makes the cover.
Backstage, Kane runs into Seth Rollins. Rollins runs his mouth, but Kane tells him he's not the man and that he's really an idiot.

Ryback guests on commentary for the next match.
The Miz beats Big Show by count-out when Big Show chops Miz in front of the commentary before tossing Miz into Ryback.

Roman Reigns shows up. He's not happy with Bray Wyatt ruining everything last night and calls him out. Wyatt appears on the TitanTron, calling the Money In The Bank Briefcase "his destiny," and makes it clear he wants revenge on Roman for spoiling his chance at glory.

The Bella Twins (Brie and Nikki Bella) beat Paige in a 2-on-1 handicap match.

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon show up. Stephanie announces that disciplinary action will be taken against Kevin Owens for his actions towards MGK. Triple H then says that Jamie Noble, Joey Mercury and Dean Ambrose will not be Seth Rollins' next opponent. Suddenly, Seth Rollins shows up and says it doesn't matter who his opponent is as HHH and Stephanie were right when they said nobody can take the WWE World Heavyweight Championship from him. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon want to see if Rollins can evolve under pressure, and his next opponent is none other than Brock Lesnar, who hasn't been seen since the Raw after WrestleMania 31. Lesnar slowly slinks out of the ring and Lesnar just continues to stare at him.

Cage... and Fenix would have been the fourth, but he was destroyed in a Death Match with Mil Muertes. With that, he calls out one of the men who wrestled in Lucha Underground's first-ever match: Blue Demon, Jr., who comes out to a standing ovation. Dario says that to make sure that he doesn't have any ring rust, he sets up a match between Blue Demon and his arch-nemesis, Chavo Guerrero, Jr. (who is now accompanied by remaining members of The Crew, Mr. Cisco and Cortez Castro), and Dario says that "anything goes".

He then turns around again to find Catrina sitting behind his desk. She is upset with the fact that Cueto did not put Mil Muertes in the number one contender's match tonight. When he doesn't give her a clear answer, she proceeds to nearly choking the life out of him, until he makes a deal to have Drago defend his number one contendership against Mil Muertes.

This episode features match from the two ROH/NJPW Global Wars shows in Toronto!
The Addiction (Frankie Kazarian & Christopher Daniels) are tired of reDRagon (Bobby Fish & Kyle O'Reilly)'s constant bickering and complaining about their rematch... and tonight, they've got their rematch.
The Addiction (Christopher Daniels & Frankie Kazarian) come to the ring. Daniels says that Bobby Fish is medically unable to compete (which implies that they attacked him before the show), and that they are contractually obligated to defend their tag straps against the challengers, and not Kyle O'Reilly and a suitable replacement for Bobby Fish. With this, Kyle O'Reilly comes out, and says that he can take them on on his own, thus setting up a Handicap Match for the ROH World Tag Team Championship.
Kyle O'Reilly beats The Addiction by DQ, but the latter retains the titles.
Jushin "Thunder" Liger beats Dalton Castle.
"Brutal" Bob Evans vs. Cheeseburger ends when Evans side slams the latter into a table from the ring apron.

We look at another "Inside ROH" with Mandy Leon as she discusses the ongoing rivalry between ROH Television Champion Jay Lethal and ROH World Champion Jay Briscoe.
Jay Briscoe says that he's ready to make things official... but he dares Jay Lethal to pull any kind of stunt during the signing, and the fans will get Best in the World for free next week.
The Kingdom (Matt Taven & Michael Bennett) vs. The Bullet Club (Doc Gallows & Karl Anderson) ends when the match gets out of hand and the referee calls for the bell. As Gallows and Anderson are setting up two steel chairs in the ring to decimate Bennett with, Maria steps up on the apron, only to be snatched up by Gallows. Before the duo can hit their signature Magic Killer on Maria, her husband makes the save, before he eats a Gun Stun from Anderson. Taven dives in with the crossbody, but he would ultimately be hit with the Magic Killer maneuver. The duo stands tall to end the show.
