WLWxRPW: Strange Brew 2025

 Aaron Ashura v. Onyx Andretti v. Prince Hernandez v. Dex Royal

We had a 4 way to start things off. This was your standard high-flying, indie scramble-type match. It was there. 

Ashton Ashura won via pinfall

1.5/5

Brothers of Deconstruction (Gregory Iron and Zach Thomas) defended the RPW Tag Team Championship against Koda Hernandez and Alfonso Gonzalez 

This was Brothers of Deconstruction's first title defense. The match was decent. Brothers of Deconstruction looked great, and it was cool to see Freelance Boys doing their thing elsewhere. However, the bulk of the match didn't stand out. 

Brothers of Deconstruction retained via pinfall 

1.75/5

Isiah Moore v. Davey Vega

We had another local match. This one was very good. Isiah Moore reminded me of Ricochet in the early years and Davey Vega was a great heel. This was a nice wrestling match.

Isaiah Moore won via pinfall

3/5

Twist and Flip defended the WLW Dynamic Duos Championships against Bang and Matthews

I didn't know what to expect from this match. This was a nice high-paced tag team match where both teams were mirror images of each other. 

Twist and Flip retained via pinfall

2.75/5

Hoodfoot defended the RPW Championship against Dale Patricks 

The match started out with Dake Patricks jamming a gusset plate into Hoodfoot's head. Hoodfoot busted open Dale Patricks with a cookie sheet. Hoodfoot gave Dale Patricks a Saito suplex off the ramp through a door for the finish. This was a nice way to start the violent portion of the weekend and a good match. 

Hoodfoot retained via pinfall

2.5/5

Atticus Cogar v. Eric Dillinger 

These two started with some good wrestling. Atticus Cogar then beat Eric Dillinger with a chair. Eric Dillinger gave Atticus a leg drop through a door bridge. Atticus did his Skewer spot. This was a good match with some cool athletic spots, I just wish this was longer.

Atticus Cogar won via pinfall 

2.5/5

MM3 v. Tommy Trainwreck 

These two got the light tubes out. MM3 did a nice top. These two had another tube exchange.  This was a nice match that had great wrestling mixed with some cool tube spots. This also showed me how MM3 might be one of the best on the scene right now. 

Tommy Trainwreck won via pinfall 

3/5

Remington Rhor defended the Kamikaze Championship against Chuck Stein 

We had two of the finest in the Midwest going at it here. Chuck Stein busted out the tubes to start the match. Remington Rhor got his receipt on the tube shots. Chuck Stein utilized a barbed wire bat on Remington Rhor. Remington Rhor used a pizza cutter bat on Chuck Stein. Chuck Stein used syringes in Remington Rhor's eye. Remington Rhor finished the match by slamming Chuck Stein off the top rope through a tube cabin. This was a great match and these two showed out here. Keep both of these guys on your radar.

Remington Rhor retained via pinfall 

3.25/5

Bobby V defended the WLW Pure Heart against Dr. Redacted

This is a long-awaited rematch from the Insane 8. Some guy I don't know because I'm not familiar with WLW got attacked by Bobby V, and Dr. Redacted before the match started. Redacted attacked Bobby V. With tubes before the match started. Bobby V got his receipt with the tubes and this man swings a Tube bundle hard. Dr. Redacted placed tubes on Bobby V. In the corner jumped off a standing chair and did a Cannonball into said corner. This one ended on a submission which I like Redacted has been working those into his offense. I liked this match; it was very intense and fast-moving. It just sucks that Bobby V

 Didn't put the title on the line.

Dr. Redacted won via submission

2.75/5

This was a good show. Some of the actual wrestling impressed me. The last 3 matches were bangers too. I just wish a lot of the undercard had longer matches; other than that solid show, as usual from RPW and WLW, is now on my radar.

7/10
