Professional wrestling tournaments use a single-elimination format where winners advance to subsequent events to compete for championship opportunities. The MWO Men's Championship tournament at Tanner's Lakeside demonstrates how wrestlers must demonstrate resilience, technical skill, and strategic thinking to advance through multiple rounds, with the ultimate goal of becoming the first-ever champion. The tournament structure creates a pathway for competitors to earn championship matches, with winners advancing to events like Earth Day Birthday and Leesburg Bikefest for the finals.

FULL SHOW: PWA x MWO Lakeside Slam (January 16, 2026; Winter Haven, FL)Added:
[music] [music] [music] >> Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Brandon Corey Alexander alongside my broadcast partner at this time is Dr. Eric Christopher and we are live at Tanner's Lakeside. Dr. Eric, how you doing? I'm doing great, Brandon. It's one of those rare winter cold nights here in Florida, but if there's one thing I know is going to heat this [music] place up, it's some pro wrestling action. Absolutely.
Brought to you by Monsters in the Morning 104.1.
This is actually a tournament that we are hosting here at Tanner's Lakeside for the Monsters World Order Championship. The winners of these matches tonight will go on to Earth Day Birthday and multiple other different scenarios and occasions and we will eventually crown an MWO men's champion.
Right now we have Poppy Dee in the ring with Slade Porter, the Private Eye and the guy with the pants. The pants.
>> The pants. If there's one thing I'm excited for, it's to scream about those pants.
Poppy Dee doing some very weird investigating of his own right now.
Trying to check out the Private Eye.
Assess the situation.
Slade Porter has built a little bit of a different character going into some of his most recent matches. A little bit more serious, if you will.
Absolutely. I mean, as you're a private eye, you're doing all these investigations, you got to get [music] down to the to business. And so, he takes things very seriously. I appreciate that as the good doctor.
Absolutely.
Got like a wrist lock going on here. Oh, no.
Test of strength by both men trying to show the tenacity to see which one's going to make it out first. Oh, looks like Slate Porter.
Slate Porter being the stronger of the two individuals right now.
Referee David checking. He says, "No."
Poppy D showing a little bit of fight early on here.
>> that.
Poppy D muscled his way into a cover and only a two count.
And another two count.
Just wearing down his opponent with each kick out.
>> you see the core strength of Slate Porter to bridge up out of that?
Both of these men are in such incredible shape. This is going to be a good one, Brandon. Oh, monkey flip toss over.
>> [cheering] >> Poppy D is electric right now. Are we going to get it?
Oh, no, not quite. Not quite. Slate Porter spoiling it for me. The pants!
The pants!
The pants!
>> [screaming] >> The pants are off of Poppy D.
It is cold out here at Tanner's Lakeside, but you cannot tell by this match right now.
I mean, I I think Things are heating up.
It's getting cold. Poppy D's getting hot. Let's go.
Poppy D just doing push-ups on his opponent, making a mockery, and a good spanking to go along with it. Slapped him right on the tuchus.
Tuchus, that's a good one.
It was either that or heiny.
Oh!
Slate Porter might suffer a bruised rectum after that uh Well, oh, let's just up and a dropkick. Poppy D out of nowhere with it.
This crowd is electric.
You can feel the warmth coming off of all the energy of these people.
I thought it was coming off of Poppy D.
It might be. I'm not entirely sure, but thank goodness for what little warmth we have here on like you said this rare Florida winter.
According to the the weather report here it is 46° here in Florida. It is 96° in that ring right now.
You say that temperature and I wonder why did he take off his pants?
I have no idea. If it were me I would have kept my pants on. That's what I'm saying. Questionable decisions by Poppy D and maybe Slade Porter is taking advantage of that.
The blood's not circulating the right way. He's going to go after Poppy D.
And speaking of getting your blood circulating, you know what gets my blood circulating is PWA's Hooray for Hollywood on January 25th. You can check out all the pro wrestling action social media to get more information on when you can get tickets for that show. It is something you're not going to want to miss. Trust me when I say that. You can bank on it.
Speaking of Banks, later tonight >> we've got Banks Banks in action taking on Max Danziger in another tournament match for that NWA men's championship.
If you're going to say you're going to say it correctly, it is the platinum selling rockstar coming off of a highly successful world tour, Max Danziger. I figured his head was already too big. I didn't want to make it any bigger.
Speaking of big heads, we got Slade Porter over here just throwing rights and lefts.
Whips Poppy D into the corner. Forearm shot.
Going up high risk middle rope here.
High risk high reward and a nice shot to the jawline, the very beautiful jawline one of Bobby D.
Only a two count there for Slade Porter.
I was able to tell that that was a two count by the very beautiful gloves that referee David Sanderson has on.
The only man in Florida probably wearing gloves tonight.
I don't know about that, but yeah.
Who would those gloves specifically?
Yeah, those ones specifically. We got to make fun of David Sanderson at some point.
So, welcome to the party, guys.
Oh, stiff midsection kick. Bobby D going for the rib cage. And now some get back by Slade Porter.
Oh, these two men are really pulling out all the punches, no pun intended here tonight at Tanner's Lakeside.
Cover by Porter at one, two, not quite enough to put him away.
What a crazy way to open up this showcase that we have for you here tonight at Tanner's Lakeside brought to you by Monsters in the Morning 104.1.
Real radio. Real radio.
I can't do the radio voice.
But what a way to kick off Oh, not quite. Not quite. Both these men are probably very fatigued. Slade Porter not quite able to get all of that clothesline. One has to wonder if the weather is playing factor into this.
There's a lot that goes into a wrestling match and you're not prepared for it to be in the lower 40s. Well, as you can probably tell, the air is very thin right now. It makes it harder to breathe. The faster you go and the more your adrenaline One has to wonder if the weather is playing factor into this. There's a lot that goes into a wrestling match and you're not prepared for it to be in the lower 40s.
Well, as you can probably tell, the air is very thin right now. It makes it harder to breathe. The faster you go and the more your adrenaline gets pumping, the more oxygen you have to take into your lungs. So, I'd imagine it's pretty hard for these competitors out here tonight.
And this is just the beginning of the show.
What an impressive show of strength by Poppy D. Elbow clothesline Slade Porter into the ring. Now he's going for something else.
Sling board into into the ring.
Poppy D might have hurt himself there on that one.
Both of these men down. What is it going to take to get the victory in our opening contest tonight and move on in this tournament?
Referee makes the count up to two right now. Both men fighting to get back to their feet.
Right shot misses and a slap to the face of Slade Porter.
Blocks the shot again. Now an elbow and a chop.
Slade Porter with a push off.
Up and over.
Woah!
Athleticism right there by Poppy D. He's going up again. Getting a little love from the Too much.
This crowd is electric. I was not expecting this when I stepped inside this building tonight.
>> [screaming] >> Knee to the face. Porter takes it.
Poppy D going up to the top. High risk.
And a nice splash cross body right there. He's got to cover him. He's got to cover him.
Procrastination is the death of Well, I forgot what I was doing.
Makes sense.
What is Poppy D thinking right here?
Nelson.
He's got him in [music] the Poppy Lock.
Spinning him around.
Woah!
Brandon, I'm getting dizzy here.
I think Poppy D needs to learn to take it easy.
I don't know if he's going to take it easy on Slade Porter tonight. He's lining them up.
Oh, wait.
Slade Porter just kind of passed out right there.
Or was that a veteran maneuver by Slade Porter? It might be. He's got the ring awareness to get out of the ring, reset, recharge, make sure you've got your bearings. Either way, I think it worked out in Slade Porter's favor.
Look at the face of Slade Porter right now. Look at that He wants to puke after being spun around like a small child.
Poppy D getting out of the ring, chasing after Slade Porter.
Not a lot of room here for failure.
Capacity crowd underneath this banister of uh Tanner's Lakeside.
A lot of people here watching the show.
And a knockout shot by by Poppy D, but Slade's back out of the ring.
Poppy D thinking something.
Poppy D just talking that trash and backing it up. He's got the pineapple in hand.
But Slade Porter has a well, an irrational fear of pineapples.
Cuz his mom had this really weird addiction.
And we won't go into too much detail about.
>> But we'll let Slade Porter tell you in a later interview. So Slade does not want pineapple on pizza is what you're telling me.
>> does not want pineapple on pizza or No, he doesn't want it anywhere around anywhere near the the swings or anything. Gotcha.
Slade Porter back into the ring. Poppy D just grabbing that knee.
Real mechanic work here by Slade Porter just picking a an appendage, working on it.
And don't underestimate Slate Porter, folks. Not only is he an incredible private investigator, he is a true technician in that ring.
>> Absolutely. He's He's one of the people I I I've recently talked about that I refer to as a mechanic of professional wrestling. One of those people who can just pinpoint something, attack it, go for it, and possibly even end the match fairly quickly.
Some people have a lot more resilience than others, but nonetheless, Bobby D in danger here.
Slate going right back to that leg.
>> [screaming] >> Listen to the screams.
Brandon, it might look like Slate has something in his hands. I I don't see nothing.
It's shoot.
I don't see nothing.
If I'm not mistaken, I believe it's a magnifying glass.
What? Where? Never.
Slate Porter would never.
See? You might need that with how cold it is out here.
Yep.
Yep.
One, two. This match brought to you by Blue Chew.
Patella punch.
A punch right to that injured knee of Bobby D. What a perfect placement and perfect timing.
Again, a mechanic of professional wrestling. This man spent time working on the legs of Bobby D only to nail that patella punch.
Now going for that modified figure four.
This could be it for Bobby D's career.
He can take his pineapple and go home if he taps out here.
Cuz that'll be the end of his fight for the MWO men's championship.
Slate Porter will advance if Bobby D taps out.
Bobby D showing some resiliency here though.
But how much more can he take? That knee has been taking damage all night long. I don't know, man. I hit my knee on a coffee table once and that was the end of that for about a month.
So how this man can consistently take a beat down on those ligaments and still get up to fight.
Pobby D reaching for that pineapple.
He's got the rope.
Sake Porter got him to the count of five. Let it go.
Sake Porter definitely not wanting to get disqualified here.
And mess up his chance for advancement in the MWO tournament.
Pushes What?
>> [screaming] >> Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Did you see that?
One, two, three. Pobby D advances in the MWO tournament.
Ladies and gentlemen, ladies [music] and gentlemen, my name is Brandon Core Alexander. This is Dr. Eric Christopher. We'll be right [music] back with more in just a few moments.
>> [music] [music] >> Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Brandon Core Alexander and right next to me is my broadcast colleague Dr. Eric Christopher and this is a match up that is another qualifying match for the MWO men's championship. It is Deimos taking on Hotshot Mike Reed.
And it looks like Hot Shot is looking to start things hot, going right after Damos.
Hot Shot is much needed right now on one of these rare winter Florida moments.
Damos, the king of the heavyweights, taking on the hot shot. Look at the ref.
No one ex- Wow.
Smart strategy.
Damos' leg was underneath that rope, couldn't make the count. No cover's been made yet.
And this is a smart strategy by a guy by the name of Hot Shot, trying to take out the legs of the teetering giant. But Damos showing off that leg strength, pulling Mike Reed right into that steel post.
Crowd's getting behind Damos tonight.
Oh, man.
Chop to the core, not even a chest. That was to the uh the center.
Damos probably came into the ring tonight thinking he was going to make light work of Hot Shot Mike Reed.
He's definitely taking it to Mike Reed right now. Getting in the corner, stomping a mud hole right into him.
Let's see if he walks it dry when he's done.
There he goes. There's the walk.
Damos has got that tape on his shoulder.
Looks like it's bothering him a little bit already.
It's never a good sign early on in a match.
Well, this is Damos' second match back after a small hiatus that he had to take due to some injuries, so I'm sure that shoulder is probably uh doing a little bit of you know, throbbing right about now. But he's taking care of it. Speaking of pain, Mike Reed's going to be in a world of pain after he's done with this.
I'm not sure. I'm not sure if I've ever seen someone take take it to Mike Reed like this.
I mean, the last time I think I've seen somebody beat up on Mike Reed like this, they were the NWA Television Champion.
Demos only gets the two count on that one.
Not as easy as he thought it was going to be.
Hot Shot Mike Reed, probably one of the most resilient people in this sport. And for good reason.
Been all over the place, seen it.
The highs and the lows of the business.
Over 20 years experience [screaming] on Mike Reed. Absolutely. That's a long time when you really think about it.
Most people don't make it five to 10 years. This man has made it 20 plus.
As an active competitor.
Front face lock. I could reveal what grade I was in when Mike Reed started wrestling, but it's probably make him feel bad.
Hot Shot Mike Reed right now not looking very good in this match. Demos only get a two count. Thought it was over right there.
Again, folks, we'd like to remind you that the winners of these matches tonight, they advance on to Earthday Birthday and Leesburg Bikefest to crown the first-ever men's MWO Championship.
The question is how much is that on each of these competitors' minds? Are they focused on the match, or are they focused on the future? You could make history, become the first-ever MWO Champion.
You got to wonder, can you get it? Can you defeat your opponent tonight? Mike Reed's trying but Damos is saying no. Well, it reminds me of something that my coach John Davis told me a long time ago, control your controllables. Do not worry about the things that you cannot control and right now if I was in one of these matches I'd be focusing on the here and the now.
Mike Reed looking like he was uh trying to get some wind in the lungs there.
Going up.
Middle risk.
Mike Reed going to the middle rope and still not as tall as Damos.
Not even close.
But Mike Reed is trying to get trying to get these crowd behind him.
Going up one more time. This might not be smart, Mike.
Damos pushing the Bobby Dazzler button.
Right in the paint by numbers.
Ay ay ay.
Hot shot.
Down to the count. Let's see if he can get the three. Damos with the cover.
One, two, three. There it is.
Damos advances.
As if nobody saw that coming.
Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Brandon Core Alexander. This is Dr. Eric Christopher.
And we will be right back with more.
Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Brandon Core Alexander and I am alongside my broadcast partner Dr. Eric Christopher and this is a powerhouse of a match. The American Sumo taking on the Brick House, Onyx.
Two men who are undefeated in athletic competition.
And the loser will take their very first W in that wrestling ring. Doctor Eric, how we feeling? I'm just looking at the big e special, big meaty men slapping meats.
I knew I knew it was just a matter of time.
Onyx the one going after American Sumo, these two men are not going to give each other anything.
Absolutely not. American Sumo is he's doing a great job, man.
It won't be too much longer we won't be able to call him a Sumo no more. This man has lost 175 lbs. He's very proud of that fact. Onyx has gained 175 lbs. He gave all of that weight to Onyx in muscle.
Look at that, two power house of men.
Sumo just challenging Onyx and I think Onyx is definitely up for that challenge.
Sumo knocked out of the ring. Not something you're used to seeing.
Absolutely. If this was a Sumo match, it'd be over.
>> It would be.
It's not too often that the American Sumo gets knocked out of the the squared circle.
It's not too often he's overpowered either.
And I got to mention it looks like Onyx is getting a little bit of cocky early on in this match though. I would not underestimate American Sumo despite the fact that you're taking it to him right now.
>> I'll acknowledge that.
Samoan style drop right there by the American Sumo. 1 2 Only one count. That was a one count. The one count by The One Onyx.
You see that the ref is holding up a one there. He must be a fan of the Tribal Chief.
But nonetheless, you guys are going to need to shield yourself from the stupid jokes I'm going to make.
Well, this is also exactly what I was talking about earlier. Onyx was getting a little cocky. He was going after America Sumo, and America Sumo very quickly changed things around. Now, he's taking it to Onyx.
As I stated at the beginning of this match, both men undefeated in athletic combat.
Not entirely sure of the records of both men, but we are certainly are undefeated.
Especially in pro wrestling action.
Especially in pro wrestling action.
One of these men is going to walk out of this ring tonight with their very first L in the record books.
And the winner will walk out advancing in one step closer to the MWO men's championship, which will be taking place at a later date.
So far we've seen Poppy Dee advance, Max Danziger advance, and Damos advance in that tournament. Which person will join them? Will it be America Sumo or The One? We have to find out who's going to be the fourth competitor.
And then we will have two semi-final match-ups.
And then we will have the finals take place at Leesburg Bikefest.
At least that's the information I was fed. I could be entirely wrong, but that's why social media exists.
Speaking of social media, if you're interested in more pro wrestling action, January 25th, it is Hooray for Hollywood. Check out all of Pro Wrestling Action's social media, so you can get information on how to acquire tickets to that wonderful, wonderful event that you need not miss.
Trust me, I'll be there, Dr. Eric will be there, and everybody else will be there. So, if you're not there, you're square.
Because you won't be around. Get it?
pwatickets.eventbrite.com.
Get them now because they're selling very, very fast.
>> They are. It's It's a fact.
Front row sold out.
>> Every show is bigger and bigger and bigger.
It's just Eric brought me into the fold.
I'm a draw.
Absolutely, Brandon.
American Sumo trying to choke the life out of Onyx right now. He wants to advance in the NWO tournament. Onyx wants to advance in the NWO tournament.
Off the ropes is Sumo.
Cross body. Gosh. One, two, no. Only a two count. Thought we were going to see the advancement of the American Sumo right now.
Onyx in unfamiliar territory getting squashed there by the American Sumo using all of that weight to knock his opponent down.
Very innovative young man is the American Sumo. Look at all the different like submissions he cross face, shaky wing, T-bone, all kinds of different maneuvers to try to put Onyx out.
And you don't necessarily expect that from a man who's called the American Sumo.
>> No, absolutely. You expect him to use his power, his weight advantage, but no, he's he's going to the submissions. He's using that technical style.
>> Absolutely.
I was going to say you would expect to see this from guys built like Bob Backlund, but nonetheless, not the American Sumo. It is a pleasant surprise to see something different in pro wrestling action from the likes of the American Sumo taking on a guy that's built like Onyx.
And that's what I love so much about pro wrestling action. You never know what to expect. There's so many different characters and people going around here trying to earn opportunities at the titles or even the N W O championship.
Stiff right shots from Onyx there.
He's really fighting for a shot at the N W O title. He wants to be the fourth man to advance.
You see that right there? A little bit of trash talk from the American Sumo knocking Onyx down on his back. As he went for the cover, he said something.
Not sure we could repeat that.
Normally when we see Onyx in a pro wrestling action ring, he is dominating his opponents. But tonight, we have not seen that at all. Onyx's last couple of matches in pro wrestling action have all ended in under 5 minutes. We are officially past the 6-minute mark here.
Woah, [screaming] what a hellacious diving clothesline. He's got the big man down. He's got to capitalize off this opportunity here.
You do not see this kind of thing too often from either of these men. It's not often American Sumo gets knocked down, but it's also not often that Onyx leaves his feet.
Onyx is channeling the strength, staring at that hand of his. What has he got on his mind?
He's trying to powerslam.
American Sumo is raking the eyes.
Ref calling him out on it.
Sumo hitting the ropes. Oh, with the cross body. Wait, wait, wait.
Oh.
Holy hell. Oh my god. Are you kidding me? The strength of Onyx.
1 2 3 That's it. Onyx is your fourth man to advance in the MWO tournament for the men's championship.
>> This man just picked up American Sumo and slammed him to the mat for the 1 2 3. Wow, Brandon.
>> And now we know who's going to advance in All four competitors in the MWO tournament, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Brandon Corey Alexander. This is Dr. Eric Christopher. We'll be right back with more from Pro Wrestling Action.
>> [music] >> And the bell has sounded, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Brandon Corey Alexander alongside my broadcast colleague. This is Dr. Eric Christopher.
We are also in the match against the uh the Versace Prince and Corey Taylor's favorite artist Max Danziger. There you go. I was waiting for it.
Blake Banks taking on Max Danziger, another qualifying match for the MWO men's championship.
Blake Banks coming in here trying to add some more gold to his resume. Already the Pro Wrestling Action Voltage champion. Although this is a non-title match. That title is not on the line tonight.
>> You would think that this man already has enough gold, enough money, enough Louis Vuitton and Gucci and all kinds of stuff in his wardrobe like he needs any more. You really think he needs the NWO championship to go along with it.
>> If there is one thing I know about Blake Banks is that nothing is good enough for him. He wants everything until he has conquered the world, he will not stop.
>> But Max Danziger recently did an interview at Monsters in the Morning 104.1 where he stated that he wants to be the first ever MWO men's champion so he can take that belt all around the world. And that that would be a very accurate statement cuz he's coming off of a very successful world tour with his band Set It Off. He is the platinum selling rock star. That is not a gimmick. That is actually a fact.
I tried to call him on it. I went and did my research and turns out I am a liar. He actually is a platinum selling rock star.
So if he was to advance on out of this match and actually go on to win the MWO title, his tour would be with the MWO title and it would be very successful.
Absolutely.
Little bit of downstairs in the apartment building there.
Come on, man.
Headlock takeover.
Max Danziger not taking things lightly tonight.
He said no new friends needed tonight.
Max Danziger no slouch of his own. He's already been the HOC, the House of Champions, world champion.
Looking to get that MWO title but one has to wonder if he were to defeat Blake Banks tonight, could he get a PWA Voltage Championship match?
>> man, but if anybody is deserving it is definitely Max Danziger. The kid's got it all. There's something special about him and I feel like he has a bunch of untapped potential.
I can't wait to see what the future holds for him in Pro Wrestling Action, but we have to get through tonight to see where he lands on the card.
The disrespect looking down at Blake Banks saying, "You idiot."
Two very athletic individuals.
Blake did not take that comment lightly going right after Max Dansger trying to get the crowd behind him now.
And I think what I love most about these young boys, especially like Blake Banks and Max Dansger, [music] they never stop working. They are all over the place working different companies, different opponents, different styles.
And as you can see right right now they they keep in shape. They try not to miss a step at all. For reasons like this so they can put on a great showcase.
Keep the matches warm.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are at Tanners Lakeside here in Winter Haven, Florida.
This brought to you by Monsters in the Morning 104.1.
And this is just a small stepping stone before we get to Hooray for Hollywood Pro Wrestling Action brings you Hooray for Hollywood on January 25th.
Check out all of PWA social media accounts for more information on how you can get tickets to that. But right now Max Dansger is trying to sell tickets to the gun show to Blake Banks.
I was about to say as you were doing an excellent job plugging the next Pro Wrestling Action show, Max Dansger has completely changed the momentum again.
Blake Banks going for that suplex, Max poking him in the eyes.
Blake Banks is in trouble here, Brandon.
>> not too often you see Blake Banks getting beat down like this. A man who's been a fighting champion since I started with PWA at least. Absolutely. We've seen him as the Voltage champion for nearly a year now. He won it on my very first show that I was at with you.
And has gone on to defend and be a fighting champion. And then you got guys like this that step up. Max Dansger is like, "Oh, you think you're the best? I'm going to show you that I'm the best." And then you got two very competitive people trying to go back and forth. And now they're not even fighting for a Voltage title. They're fighting for a spot to become the first ever MWO champion.
And I got to say I am very impressed by the attitude of Max Danziger. This guy is no-nonsense. He is in here to make statements tonight. And if he has to disrespect his opponent to do it, expect him to do it every single time.
>> Absolutely. Max Danziger is one of those talents that has a slipknot on the game.
He came in. He's trying to learn and absorb every single bit of knowledge that he possibly can about the wrestling business and apply and execute as he goes along. And so far he's doing a damn good job of it.
And correct me if I'm wrong, Brandon. Do you remember of any other platinum-selling recording artist who has taken to pro wrestling like this in his past? No, absolutely not. Max Danziger being the first ever platinum-selling recording artist, aside from John Cena who was already in the wrestling business I'm going to say that there's several people who have gone from wrestling to the music industry.
>> Right. I don't know of many guys who have come from the music industry. This Yeah. I think I'm probably the only one who's not an active talent.
Exactly. You and Max Danziger, trailblazers in professional wrestling.
>> Max Danziger being the platinum-selling recording artist coming into wrestling is like Turnbull being the Olympic gold medalist. He's the first ever to do it as an active superstar. What a comparison there. Wow.
Don't tell Max I said that. He'll let it go to his head.
Well, let's talk about how great Brandon Corry Alexander is. Folks.
Nah.
Nah.
You can always check out my music on Spotify. Just Misio. M I S I O Misio.
I'm just trying to get a little bit of heat in this winter cold air.
Max Danziger over here working on the appendages right now. It's the rotator cuff of Blake Banks.
Again, I have not seen Blake Banks take this much of a beating in quite some time. I think the last time I seen him get beat down like this was at River City Wrestling Con 2025.
And even still, he was resilient enough to come back and catch the W.
Which may just be what he's doing right now.
If there's one thing I can tell you about Blake Banks, it's he's a very smart, very tenacious smart ass.
But, spine on the pine always gets him double A style, baby. 1 2 No!
Just as Blake was gaining momentum, Max Dansger shuts him down. Max Dansger was about to set it off up in here.
And that's not even a reference to his band in which he's the drummer for, which is a platinum selling act, by the way.
Stiff forearm shots and elbows right to the face of the Versace Prince.
Max Dansger grabbing something at ringside. I'm not sure what it is. It's the Voltage title.
Are we seeing as a crystal ball the future? He's foreshadowing. I I can I Like I said, I can tell you right now somewhere down the future this kid the these two, whether Blake Banks is the Voltage champion or not, this kid is going to be in a match for the Voltage title. I can tell you right now. But, disrespect here.
This yelling at Blake with the title, and Blake slaps him right across the face.
Oh!
That slap to the face of Max Dansger, though, caused him to toss the Voltage title, one of the most beautiful titles in all of professional wrestling, straight to the floor. That's kind of disrespectful in itself.
You never disrespect the hardware.
Somebody should break a a drumstick across his face or something.
Referee David Sanderson getting in Max Dansger's face, telling him he only has a five count or he is disqualified and then boom, you're out of the tournament.
Max Dansiger perching Blake Banks up on the top rope. What's he thinking here?
Something dangerous obviously cuz nothing good comes from this type of action.
He's thinking super flex.
Blake Banks better fight back out of this one or it's going to be a really bad time for his lower back.
Both of these men fighting for >> Oh, kidney shots.
What a stiff elbow.
Blake Banks got an opening.
He's going to fly.
And there it is, cross body.
Max Dansiger's down. Blake Banks has to make the cover.
But I think that cross body took everything out of Blake Banks. The wind is knocked out of him.
>> That is why it is a high risk maneuver.
You never know what the end result is going to be.
Both of these men are down. David Sanderson counting. If he gets to 10, this one's over.
And then neither man will advance on to become the MWO men's champion.
Monsters world order.
Both men are up.
Back elbow to Dansiger's head and a hellacious clothesline. Another one Lariat style. Here comes Banks.
Discus elbow.
Ooh, my favorite, the Viper style DDT.
Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, what?
No. [screaming] A rope assisted neckbreaker to Max Danziger putting a little stank on that one. You love to see it.
The innovation and tenacity of Blake Banks is enough.
>> This might be it.
Boom!
To the face! Danziger's out. Could this be it?
One, two.
No!
So close, Brandon. Blake Banks was so close to advancing in the MWO men's >> tournament.
What a matchup. This might go down as match of the night, but we still have more to be determined here.
I was not expecting this when I stepped into this building today, but I am glad I'm here.
More action to come. How can anyone top this? But we are about to find out as Blake Banks is going for something else here. Double underhook DDT, but doesn't get all of it. Five of it's carried.
Double underhook again.
Nope.
Oh, what? And a bridge! One, two.
These two they have each other's number. It is a matter of time. It is a matter of fact before one of them takes home the spot.
Five of it's carried. We're going to see the Jan Valley Driver.
Nope.
But just as good.
One, two. No!
The heart of Blake Banks cannot be understated. This man is digging down deep and fighting with everything he has purely off of instinct at this point.
Counting out, kicking out of that flat jack.
What is either man going to have to do?
Dansou reaching for that voltage title again. Didn't he learn his lesson for the first time?
>> The referee's looking at him now. If he hits him, it's over.
>> It's a DQ and Max is out.
Blake Banks will immediately go on to Oh, wait. The referee caught him.
Wait, wait.
Look at that. The drumsticks. The ref didn't see it.
Max Dansou got the platinum selling set of drumsticks.
Oh my god.
>> Right to Blake Banks, but the ref did not see it at all.
We saw it.
I think. I don't know. Max is lining him up.
Spear.
Spinning, rolling, spear. Oh, this is it. One, two, three. That's it. Bring it back, Max. Dansou goes on.
Max Dansou now qualifies to be a part of a second match, which will get him closer to the MWF mid-championship.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Brandon Corey Alexander. This is Dr. Eric Christopher.
We'll be back with more. [music] We're hearing his cheers.
What's up, Athenians?
The opponent is definitely not He's here.
>> [music] [music] [cheering] [music] >> Well, ladies and gentlemen, my name is Brandon Correa Alexander. This is Dr. Eric Christopher and this is a revenge match from Pit Masters and Pours.
You get to see Amber Nova taking on Jessie Love in a number one contender's match for the MWF Women's Championship currently held by Teal Piper, someone that Amber Nova has so much history with. She does.
She lost the championship to Teal Piper at Pit Masters and Pours.
Jessie Love was no help in that.
Yeah, I'm not I'm not going to say anything. I saw some activities with a kendo stick. I don't I don't know what you're talking about.
But either way, this is a revenge match brought to you by Monsters in the Morning 104.1.
We are at Tanners Lakeside in Winter Haven, Florida and this crowd is on fire and I wish that they would bring some of that heat this this way because this is one of those rare Florida winters.
These two women looking to heat things up. Our first women's action tonight.
>> [cheering] >> Arm drag and a dropkick by Amber Nova.
Firing on all cylinders right now.
>> [cheering] >> This crowd is firmly behind Amber Nova.
Jessie with a whip into the corner.
Amber Nova ducks in and only a two count there.
Jessie Love not seeing Amber Nova.
[screaming] Amber takes her out from behind.
Fireman's carry by Nova.
Or would it be a firewoman's carry?
I think it would be.
And it's 2026, who cares?
I would be remiss to mention the fact that Amber Nova at ringside has two people with her. One of them being Russ Rollins, the host of Monsters in the Morning, 104.1.
Real radio.
I don't think that's what you're going over. I have no idea, but thank you to Monsters in the Morning. Jessie Love has that kendo stick.
That kendo stick being the reason that Amber Nova is no longer the MWO Women's Champion.
>> [cheering] >> Jessie Love is getting hit with a kendo stick. David Sanderson is not even watching. this crowd's going nuts.
>> [cheering] >> Not exactly sure how I feel about what's happening right now. Amber Nova cheating.
Wouldn't you say Oh, look at that fast press by Nova. Wow.
Look at all just throwing right hands at the face of Jaycie Love.
Definitely getting her revenge tonight.
Suplex.
Nova with the cover, hook of the leg, two.
Not quite all of it. Needs just a little bit more if she wants to win that number one contender spot for the MW Women's Championship.
This is a revenge match. You would think a match with the word revenge in it would come with no disqualification stipulations, but nonetheless, here we are. But I'm a little surprised.
I wonder what's going on in Amber Nova's mind here. Like take advantage of the situation.
But instead, she's waiting for Jaycie to get back in the ring. I mean, personally, if I were Amber Nova, I would probably kick the referee in the face.
Or her opponent.
>> Or her opponent, yeah.
Little bit of lockjaw on the top rope there. Jaycie Love taking control of this match.
Kicking Nova in the ribs.
Little bit of mount and some right hands of her own. Just vicious right hands.
Incredibly smart by Jaycie Love doing exactly what I wanted Amber Nova to do.
Taking advantage of opportunities and going after Nova.
>> The aggression here by Jessie Love is something like I have never seen before from her. Certainly a side of Jessie I I I have not seen myself.
In all the time I have known her she's been very smiley, very happy all the time. Tonight she just seems pissed off.
Well, with the last name like Love you would expect her to be smiley and happy all the time, but if you're up for a number one contender spot for the MLW Women's Championship knowing full well you're the reason why your opponent no longer holds that title, you could be a little aggressive, too.
But the question is what actually happens if Jessie Love can win this match and then goes after Taya Valkyrie, the woman that she helped win the title to begin with.
>> be pretty crazy.
I think Vince McMahon had a saying about things like that, but uh this is family friendly.
Uh-huh.
Jessie Love with a knee to the upper back of Amber Nova. The crowd is just chanting for Amber, but will it be enough?
Jessie Love certainly doesn't think so.
Amber Nova is an adrenaline junkie, so you know she feeds off the energy of the crowd. They say that the crowds of professional wrestling is the greatest drug in the entire world, and if you've never felt that energy, well, you haven't felt anything.
I'm sure that Amber Nova knows that more than any one person in the ring.
One, two >> [screaming] >> Oh, look at that. An inventive maneuver.
Just driving her head right into the top turnbuckle there.
Chop that clothesline by Amber Nova back-to-back.
The future for Amber Nova shines as bright as a supernova or maybe even her pants.
Of course superkick bright pants.
Was that a cutter?
It was a cutter.
>> be it. 1 2 3 there it is. Amber Nova secures the number one contender spot in this revenge match.
>> [cheering] >> That means that we will be seeing Amber Nova taking on the winner of the next match in progression here at Tanner's Lakeside. Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Brandon Corey Alexander. This is Dr. Eric Christopher. We'll be right back with more pro wrestling action.
>> [music] [music] [music] >> Once again, ladies and gentlemen, my name is BCA Brandon Corey Alexander and this is Dr. Eric Christopher. We'd like to welcome you to the main event here at Tanner's Lakeside in Winter Haven, Florida.
And it's brought to you by Monsters in the Morning. This is your main event scheduled for one fall at this 4000 MW Women's Championship. The Wild Child Teal Piper taking on Island Girl TT.
Doctor Eric, tell me something about this match.
Well, you got the challenger Island Girl TT, someone with nearly 20 years of experience in that wrestling ring looking to make a statement tonight becoming the MW Women's Champion, but across the ring from her you've got the daughter of a legendary professional wrestling Roddy Piper. And Teal Piper is here to defend that title and continue building her own legacy as the MW Champion. But Brandon, we just saw in our semi-main event Amber Nova became the number one contender, and there's a possibility here folks that at Earthday Birthday we might get the long-awaited rematch [music] between Nova and Teal Piper, and I know that Amber is backstage watching this closely on a monitor hoping that is in fact the outcome.
Well, I'm pretty sure that that's the outcome we're all looking for, and that's not to take anything away from Island Girl TT at all. You said she had 20 years plus experience, but Teal Piper has wrestling literally in her blood. It is ingrained in her DNA, and all she has to do is make way with the W tonight against Island Girl TT, and she gets to go on and exact revenge against Amber Nova yet again.
We've seen Island Girl inside a Pro Wrestling Action Ring so many times over the years dating back to the second Pro Wrestling Action Show ever, the first All-Star Battle where she took on the incredible Marina Tucker.
But tonight she is in action against Teal Piper, and you got to wonder how much how much has she prepared to face Teal, how How has she gotten and to potentially hold the crown as the MWO women's champion. Speaking of the crown, ladies and gentlemen, as we inch closer and closer, this is one of the final steps until we get to PWA presents Hooray for Hollywood January 25th. Check out all the pro wrestling action social media to get more information on how to get tickets to that event that you're not going to want to miss. Doctor Eric, tell them the the the link. That would be pwatickets.eventbrite.com.
It's going to be very interesting going into the end of this match to find out who walks out with the MWO women's championship brought to you by Monsters in the Morning 104.1.
Okay, and goes into Earth Day Birthday to take on Amber Nova. She looks to get back what truly she thinks belongs to her.
The person who made the MWO women's championship synonymous with herself. That would be Amber Nova.
And it could go either way.
Wild Child or Island Girl. One or the other.
Teal Piper taking it right to Island Girl throwing her into that post. This has been an incredible night, Brandon.
We also saw the first round matches in the MWO men's championship tournament where they're going to crown the first champion at Earth Day Birthday, the exact same event that either Teal Piper or Island Girl will be defending the MWO women's championship against Amber Nova as we mentioned earlier. And you got to wonder You got to wonder what's going to happen next. And I'm just watching as Teal Piper chopped the crap out of Island Girl at ringside. It looked brutal.
Oh!
This action heating up on this cold winter night here in Florida. Cold is an understatement.
>> My legs are shaking, Brandon.
After we get done here, I'm going to find a nice warm spot to go hang out, and we encourage everyone to join us. If you're ever at a Pro Wrestling Action show, please join us before, during, and after the shows for all the good times.
Especially after those after parties for PWL. After parties are crazy. Commentary karaoke. Incredible.
And making fun of Rafe Fury.
Always. That's my favorite thing in the world.
Oh!
Gut shots and a gut check to the Wildchild.
Isla Girl TT just taking out the sternum of Teal Piper.
Edging closer and closer to victory.
Will we see a new MWO Women's Champion tonight, or will Teal Piper retain and find some way to pull it out of the pocket?
Look at that, spinebuster. Modified. So, that's weird. You don't see the You don't see too many modifications to a Arn Anderson classic like that.
This crowd surprisingly behind Teal Piper.
It's a It's a chant I like to hear as a fan of her father, the late great Rowdy Roddy Piper.
Let's go, Piper warms my heart on this cold, cold winter night here in Florida.
One of the most amazing things that I have ever experienced when it comes to Teal Piper was when we were at Hit Masters and Pours, we had the actual bagpipe players come out and play that Scottish anthem. I saw that video. It was very impressive. You were excited.
>> I was very excited.
A lot of people don't know this. I am a huge, huge fan of Rowdy Roddy Piper. I loved wrestling in the early '90s.
One of my favorite matches was uh Goldust and Rowdy Roddy Piper, the Chicago Street Fight.
So good.
This match kind of has shades of that, if you if you know what I mean. These two willing to go above and beyond to take the other one out. And a DDT by Teal Piper. This could be it.
Island Girl only kicking out at two.
That was close, though.
What more do you have to do to keep your opponent down?
Apparently, a lot.
>> I have seen a lot of resiliency, but none to the level of Island Girl TT.
A woman known all over the United States and around the world as being one of the most resilient women in the sport today.
Been around for a long time. Longevity does not come at a small price.
Learned a lot of skills and absorbed a lot of knowledge along the way. Teal Piper, again, as we pointed out earlier, has wrestling in her blood. It is ingrained in her DNA. So, she knows a thing or two about a thing or two as well.
Can't count out Island Girl TT, though.
This woman has been around for a long time, spending time in FCW back in the day. Currently signed to WOW, Women of Wrestling, where you can see her as the Island Girl Keleki.
Ladies and gentlemen, as Dr. Eric pointed out, WOW, if you're a fan of all women's sports, please check out WOW, Women of Wrestling. Check your local listings at wowe.com.
You see some incredible wrestling action stars on that show as well.
>> Absolutely do. If you're a fan of the sport, please check it out.
Isla Girl off the ropes and a small mid-side dropkick.
This could be it. We could be looking at a new NWA champion.
No, not quite.
>> close.
Honestly, I thought that might have been it.
Wow.
Some fans here being awfully rude.
But nonetheless, resiliency again being a key factor for both these women in this match.
Both of these women trading blows back and forth, back and forth. Who will get the advantage? It is a tale as old as time. It's blue versus red, east versus west.
And a cover, one, two, no.
Not enough to keep the Isla Girl down.
Teel go for another one.
Only two again.
Again, the resiliency.
A third one.
We always talk about it, we joke about it sometimes, but I'm being serious when I say it's strategy or stamina in order to get through these types of matches.
And in this case, I'm thinking strategy here for Teel Piper. I'm thinking stamina for Isla Girl TiTi.
And many people might question why Teel kept going for those pins knowing that Isla Girl might not might kick out every time, but it takes so much out of you to kick out. every single time. Now, that is an absolute fact. And and it takes a lot of core strength, too.
That does not seem to slowing >> that. TT down. Just a simple punch right to the jawline.
Island Girl TT pulling out all stops looking to become the new MWO Women's Champion. She's lining up Teal. Teal's up. Kick to the stomach.
Uppercut, back elbow.
And the discus.
You love to see it. Little bit of a snap there. Here, what are we thinking?
Ooh, a little bit of ground and pound, yeah.
>> [screaming] >> This is what I like to see, folks.
Off the ropes, TT.
That was almost like a Sister Abigail Wyatt modified flatliner.
Shades of the late great Bray Wyatt.
Teal Piper thought that was it, but it was not.
As Dr. Eric pointed out, it's a move made famous by the late great Bray Wyatt, but a move that was invented by the other late great Chris Canyon.
Modified flatliner style. You love to see it.
Nobody.
Except for maybe the Island Girl TT who's looking to put away Teal Piper here. Oh, it looks like Island Girl might be wanting to go surfing.
Teal using that leg strength kicking her off.
Look at that.
Headlock chokehold. Looking to put that There it is, the Galli choke.
The Galli choke.
Is Ireland going to go to sleep? Ireland girl is in trouble.
That's why >> is checking her.
That's it, she's out. She's out. The ref called for it.
Ladies and gentlemen, we now know that on her birthday birthday, it will be Teal Piper defending against Amber Nova.
And until we get there, ladies and gentlemen, my name is Brandon Cori Alexander. This is Dr. Eric Christopher. Thank you for joining us here at Tanners Lakeside. And thank you to Monsters in the Morning 104.1 for allowing us to be here and do the damn thing. We love you all. PWA, Hooray for Hollywood, January 25th.
