Why pro wrestling magic is one of the best things in New Jersey
Look i’m gonna be upfront… this is just gonna be me gushing for however long this takes you to read but assuming you’re a Wrestling fan already I gotta spread the word.
PWM has been running for a long time but I am a new fan. Their past season was the first one I watched in full they have an off season around august. But this season brought a ton of amazing players and storylines.
First of all prolific FUCK HARD, respectfully, this season mostly had Isaiah wolf fighting his own partner Ruthless Lala after she got possessed by the spirits of the ancestors. Leading to an amazing last one standing match which ended in a draw but mark my god damn words it’s their year, doesn’t matter if it’s wolf, lala, Tyree Taylor or markus marquee, someone is getting gold and the year will be prolific.
But honestly the amount of groups in pro wrestling magic that rule need to be studied. You have prolific obviously, but you also have hispanos unidos led by the og ROH talent Azreal, stressed and depressed is also there, then my second favorite group project mayhem.
Speaking of project mayhem let’s talk about genuinely my favorite story out of this company, the implosion of project mayhem. Notable indy vet smiley ended up in control of the company and was rather hostile. Taking the dark arts title off of Steve off. Until Steve battled back, at which point smiley shifted his attention to shane fair and just being an ass. Trixie the manager of project mayhem gets fed up with his shit and it turns into a “mommy and daddy fight” leaving vi Daniels and Eden in the middle conflicted. They hold onto their titles but Eden becomes increasingly frustrated with smiley, he refuses to injure someone and as Vi does Eden goes off telling him he’s not smiley. As the vendetta against Shane fair continues trixie tells smiley he won’t have anyone if he does this basically having an intervention but it falls on deaf ears. Until a one ring war games match for control of the company. Smiley has vi and Eden by his side until he goes too far, shane fair is untrained and fucking diabetic and smiley wants Eden to help take him out. A moment of thought before Eden kicks smiley in the fucking face, and Vi who was probably the most indoctrinated by smiley joins eden, vi unmasks himself and the two walk out together. Project mayhem lives, it breathes, and continues without smiley. They would go on to keep hold of the junior tag titles for a few defenses before losing in a fatal 4 way tag match to stressed and depressed. They started number 1 in the tag title unification gauntlet beating The Rep, Surviving SAD, and then dying fighting till the end to the combined 800 pound team of monsters known as meat locker.
But that’s not the only banger they have, if you’ve been watching the northeast indys for a while you probably know about the meadowlands monster, or el oso blanco bruno. He is one half of an amazing rivalry turned tag team, turned rivalry again with jon tella. Now admittedly the whole rivalry pre team up is something I haven’t seen yet but commentary does such a good job explaining it that you don’t really need to see it all immediately. Bruno turned on tella again before a match with meat locker sacrificing the tag titles in the process, which probably still hurt a little as death row were the longest reigning champions. They had a contract agreement so they couldn’t touch. In a grudge match tella got revenge.
Let me tell you about someone else to keep an eye on, Troy Locke. He’s a ball of rage with technical skill just waiting to break someone into bits, he will suplex and roll you into dust. He’s already held junior heavyweight gold in pro wrestling magic but he really could go anywhere. I straight up cackled when he was booked to take on donavan.
