  • Wrestling Open Worcester Results- May 28th, 2026

    Wrestling Open Worcester Results- May 28th, 2026

    First match of the evening is an opening round of the women’s wrestling open championship tournament. Its Liviyah vs. Sammi Chaos where the winner goes on to face Gabby Forza in the next round. Sammi Chaos defeats Liviyah by pinfall and advances in the tournament.

     

    Next is TJ Crawford’s open challenge that is answered by All In Bayno. TJ Crawford defeats All In Bayno via pinfall. Crawford was about to cut a promo when the music of Big Business hits. No one comes through the curtain and the crowd is realizes its just another one of Crawford’s tricks. Crawford leaves the ring without telling the crowd why he has had a change of heart and turned on Big Business.

     

    Next, we’re subjected to a high pitched walked through the forest promo by Steven Stetson saying that he wants to be the first ever double champion and challenge Bear Bronson for the Wrestling Open champion. He then enters the ring and repeats himself for the live crowd and announces that he will challenge him next week. His opponent, Mani Ariez, saves us all from his voice. Despite a valiant effort, Steven Stetson defeats Mani Ariez via pinfall.

     

    The real losers are us because we have to hear Stetson speak again as he grabs a mic. He informs Bobby Casale that he has one more test before he becomes a full member of the Stetson Ranch. He has for “help” with his match next week, but Casale grabs the mic to cut him off asking him “and what if I don’t?” Stetson informs him that he will beat him so badly that he will be out of the business. He also says that Casale wants him to show him what he has against an “old friend” and introduces Alex Reynolds who dances out to the ring.

     

    The next match is Bobby Casale and Alex Reynolds. Reynolds slowly undresses for his match like some sort of stateside Naito. This was a great back and forth match but in the end Stetson ends up costing his own man the match. Alex Reynolds defeats Bobby Casale via pinfall. Where does this leave Casale in terms of his relationship with the ranch?

     

    Next up is Kylon (not Kyle) King who will be taking on Ichiban. Lots of Kyle chants happened to the point where Ref Scott calls Kylon Kyle on accident. The match was a battle but it ended in a 15 minute time limit draw and with Kylon slapping Ichibon in the face before he leaves the ring.

     

    The next match is a six man tag match. DJ Powers is teaming with Simply the Best (BRG and Oxx Adams) and will go against the team of Bombz over Beyond (Eric ChaCha, Handyman Jake Gray, and Ricky Shane Page). Before the match, BRG grabs the mic and is met with a chorus of boos from the Worcester crowd and chants of “moist.” Bombz over Beyond wins with Handyman Jake Gray pinning BRG.

     

    The main event of the evening is another opening round of the women’s championship tournament. It will be Kylie Alexia going against Allie Katch. The winner will be going on to face Jordan Blade next week in the semi finals. Kylie works Allie’s arm most of the match and has tried to pull out every trick she has to defeat Allie. Kylie wins by referee stoppage after cracking Allie over the head with a turnbuckle she found under the ring. She will face Jordan Blade in the Semi Finals next week.

  • Man Like DeReiss Speaks On His New Friendship With Four Elders

    Man Like DeReiss Speaks On His New Friendship With Four Elders

    Man Like DeReiss Found a couple new friends during WrestleMania week while on his way to Las Vegas, Nevada.

    Over WrestleMania week, Man Like DeReiss and a few elderly women went viral after the pro-wrestler and the three unknowing women sparked a friendship on a plane ride to the U.S. after helping one of the women get their seat to move forward.

    It was there, when the women sparked up a conversation with DeReiss and the rest is history. The four women named Lynn Crawford, 71, Susie Matthews, 73, Rose Sulley, 74, and Christine Goodwin, 80 who have all been friends for 40 years, were actually traveling to Vegas to scatter the ashes of Rose’s late husband, Pete.

    Man Like DeReiss ends up inviting them to come watch him wrestle in Vegas and of course, they attended the event. After getting home from Vegas, DeReiss used social media to find the four women and regain contact with them, now inviting them to come to another wrestling show in London. Today, they were all interviewed together on BBC Breakfast.

    DeReiss says he hopes to inspire others to spark up a conversation with strangers, because it could lead to a great friendship.
