On Sunday, August 10th, Blitzkrieg Pro returned to Enfield, CT, for it’s big event, “Actin’ Up.” The event streamed live on IWTV and was later posted to the Blitzkrieg Pro IWTV VOD channel.

The main event of the show pitted Charles Mason against Zachary Wentz, just one show after Mason had fallen to Wentz’s fiancée, Priscilla Kelly.

We also saw B3TJC put the Blitzkrieg Pro Tag Team Championships on the line against the Savage Gnomes, Sammy Diaz put the Blitzkrieg Pro Bedlam Championship on the line against CPA & Jay Kharma, Andy Brown go one-on-one with Oro, the Jensen Championship scramble match to crown the inaugural Jensen Champion, and so much more. Check out the full recap and review below.

Blitzkrieg Pro Tag Team Championships: Savage Gnomes (Bear Bronson & Gabby Forza) def. B3TJC (B3CCA & TJ Crawford) (c) to win the Blitzkrieg Pro Tag Team Championships

The opening match of the Blitzkrieg Pro “Actin’ Up” event saw B3TJC put the Blitzkrieg Pro Tag Team Championships on the line against the Savage Gnomes. B3CCA and TJ Crawford have been a force in the B!P tag team division. Since returning to the independent wrestling scene, Bear Bronson has been making a name for himself and showcasing his amazing abilities to everyone of what he can do inside the ring. Something was truly going to have to give in this match.

B3CCA continues to amaze fans with her beautiful rendition of “On B3CCA, On God” while she makes her way down to the ring. Both teams in this match were truly beloved by the Blitzkrieg Pro Faithful. All hell broke loose in this one, as the two teams brawled all around the ringside. This match was an absolute blast. Chants of “THIS IS AWESOME!” rang through the arena more than once. Both teams showcased their teamwork quite well with some cool double-team moves. In the end, however, Forza counters a submission and rolls up B3CCA for the three-count. Following the match, Crawford turns heel and leaves Forza and Bronson lying with a big kick. He even goes as far as to lay out his own partner, B3CCA.

This was an interesting ending, one that I didn’t love, but kudos to Forza and Bronson for picking up the win and the titles here. I loved B3TJC’s reign and will miss it; they absolutely crushed their reign together, but the upcoming change we saw was great. Hopefully, Forza and Bronson can continue to do the titles justice. Crawford leaving both Bronson and Forza ending in the end was probably my favorite part of the whole segment. Crawford does his best work as a heel, and his dropping B3CCA as a tag partner was a beautiful touch. Crawford is way too good to be just floundering in the tag division. Don’t forget, he is a former Bedlam Champion. He’s one of the best on that entire roster. Welcome back, TJ CRAWFORD!

Mortar def. Will Kiedis

Next up, we saw Mortar go one-on-one with Will Kiedis. This was a very interesting “double debut” situation. Weirdly enough, with how much Mortar has taken over the northeast, he’s actually never competed at Blitzkrieg Pro before. Not sure how that happened, but VERY happy to see him in a Blitzkrieg Pro ring. As for Kiedis, this was actually my first time ever seeing Kiedis. He’s from Sydney, Australia, and is a long way from home. I was very impressed with how good he was.

The match between the two men was a banger from start to finish. Ultimately, Mortar hit a massive discus lariat on Kiedis to pin him and pick up the victory. Hopefully, we see both of these men back in a Blitzkrieg Pro wrestling ring sooner rather than later. Mortar had a successful debut and has all the makings to be a major star in Blitzkrieg Pro. Don’t sleep on Mortar. Fantastic debut for both men.

Blitzkrieg Bedlam Championship: Sammy Diaz (c) def. CPA and Jay Kharma to retain the Blitzkrieg Bedlam Championship

In the third match of the show, we saw Sammy Diaz hold his first title defense for the Blitzkrieg Pro Bedlam Championship. Diaz won the title back in June at the 7th annual Luau. Diaz won the Mother of All Scrambles after attacking Jay Kharma and taking his spot, to earn his shot whenever he wants. By the end of the night, he decided that’s when he wanted to cash in, and he successfully won the Bedlam Championship from CPA. It’s only fitting that his first defense is against two men he wronged very recently. What started out as a celebration quickly broke down into a triple threat match.

Kharma and CPA worked together in the early going to take the fight to the champion. To me, this match showed exactly why Diaz is as good as he says he is. He is the Bedlam Champion, and rightfully so. He’s one of the best not only on Blitzkrieg Pro, but also on the independent wrestling scene today. In a cool moment in the match, CPA listed both Kharma and Diaz up for the numbers cruncher. However, Diaz escaped, allowing CPA to hit his finisher on Kharma. Diaz ran back into the ring and threw CPA out to steal the pinfall and win the match. This was a great first defense for the new Bedlam Champion.

Andy Brown def. Oro

In the next match, we saw Andy Brown go one-on-one with the debuting Oro. This marked one of Oro’s first matches back on the independent wrestling scene since his WWE release. Before his release, fka Oro Mensah, Oro was on a tear in the WWE under the NXT brand. He played a pivotal role in the Meta Four with Jakara Jackson, Noam Dar, and Lash Legend. However, now he’s back and poised to show the world exactly how good he truly is and why he’s truly the “Main Man.” Standing in his way, though, we saw the “Main Man” of Blitzkrieg Pro, Andy Brown. Brown has truly become a mainstay and fan favorite at Blitzkrieg, and it’s easy to see why.

The last time we saw Brown, he defeated Sammy Diaz in the opening match of the 7th annual Luau back in June. Some might say that Brown should be the next number one contender for Diaz on that premise alone. The match between these two men was fantastic. Oro looked great in his debut, and Brown continued to shine like the star he is. Brown ultimately put Oro away with a “Finish Him” and won the match. This was a big victory for Brown and hopefully one that propels him right into the Bedlam Championship picture. Also, welcome back, Oro. It was awesome getting to see him pick up where he left off and then some.

Delta House (Nick Robles & Dante Drago) def. Rip Bison & Demi Exo

In the first match back from intermission, we saw Delta House’s Nick Robles & Dante Drago square off with Rip Byson & Delmie Exo in some tag team action. The last time we saw Delta House, we saw them get laid out by No More Heroes and the returning Dan The God Damn Can-DEMON. They looked to pick up a win against Rip Byson and Delmie Exo, though, and put that behind them for the time being.

The team of Byson and Exo was a welcome addition to the tag division, too. They worked great together and had fantastic chemistry. In the end, Delta House hit their finisher on Byson, and Robles pinned him to win the match for the team. Both teams had a great showing in this one, and another win here by Delta House could put them in a good spot to be next in line for the Blitzkrieg Pro Tag Team Championships.

Bobby Orlando def. Tommy Invincible

The next match saw Bobby Orlando go one-on-one with Tommy Invincible. This was a match with not much at stake, except for pride. This match marked the debut of Invincible in a Blitzkrieg Pro ring. However, Bobby Orlando has become quite the fan favorite at Blitzkrieg Pro. He’s continuing to climb up the ranks at Blitzkrieg and could very well find himself in a championship match soon, whether for the Bedlam Championship or the newly made Jensen Championship.

For Invincible, he hoped to show out in his debut inside the Blitzkrieg Pro ring. He did just that. Orlando looked to be on his A-game in this one. Ultimately, in the end, Orlando reversed an Attitude Adjustment and hit Invincible with a superkick, a Bobby Bomb, and a sick trick from the top rope to put Invincible. Orlando is now back in the win column and looks to be poised to go on a strong run sooner rather than later. Before all is said and done, expect Orlando to have a championship run sooner rather than later for Blitzkrieg Pro.

Jensen Championship Finals Scramble Match: Perry Von Vicious (w/ Delta House) def. Kirby Wackerman (w/ Dan The God Damn Can-Demon), Notorious Mimi, Angelo Carter and Spike Nishimura to become the first ever Jensen Champion

In the final match before the “Actin’ Up” main event, we saw the Jensen Championship finally crowned. In the Jensen Championship Finals, we saw a five-person scramble match. Perry Von Vicious, Kirby Wackerman, Notorious Mimi, Angelo Carter, & Spike Nishimura all did battle to etch their names in the history books. However, only one would be crowned as the inaugural Jensen Championship. It wasn’t going to be an easy win by anyone, though. All five competitors truly left it all out in the ring.

During Perry Von Vicious’s entrance, Delta House joined him for support for his big match. For Kirby Wackerman, he was joined by Dan the God Damn Can-Demon, the new version of Dan the God Damn Candyman. All five participants in the match showed up and showed out to become the first-ever Jensen Champion. Can-Demon kept getting involved to help Wackerman. However, Delta House fought him off to neutralize the threat. In the end, Von Vicious hits a crash landing on Wackerman and pins him to win the match and the Jensen Championship. This was perfectly booked. I’m beyond happy to see Von Vicious get another run with some gold in Blitzkrieg Pro. He’s someone who may not always get the appreciation he deserves, but you can’t forget how good he truly is. Congrats, PVV!

Charles Mason def. Zachary Wentz

The main event of the show saw the “Root of All Evil,” Charles Mason, square off with Zachary Wentz. This match marked Mason’s first match at Blitzkrieg Pro following his loss to Priscilla Kelly at the 7th annual Luau. Mason was out for revenge against Kelly’s fiancée, Wentz. He looked to get back in the win column and had a point to prove to Kelly, using her fiancée as bait. This was an absolute hell of a main event, and I mean that in the best way possible. Mason continues to be one of the top heels in Blitzkrieg Pro today, and Wentz was the clear-cut fan favorite. Although it was the main event, this was the match of the night.

Wentz quickly went on the attack on Mason before the bell even rang. The two brawled outside with Mason mocking the Sabrina Carpenter-esque picture from the 7th annual Luau event. Only this time, Mason was on the offensive, holding his belt around the neck of Wentz. This was a fantastic main event. Mason has been on the run of his life as of late and deserves every bit of the recent success he’s been finding. In the end, Wentz inadvertently knocked out the referee with a steel chair. Ultimately, Mason hits his version of the tombstone piledriver for the three-count to win the match. Following the match, Wentz challenges Mason to end this “once and for all.”

Overall, this Blitzkrieg Pro show was a grand slam. We saw an inaugural champion crowned, new tag team champions crowned, the era of “Top Five Dead or Alive” kick off, and so much more. This was a night full of big moments, and above all else, some amazing wrestling. Continue to support Blitzkrieg Pro as we gear up for their next event on October 11th, where Zachary Wentz and Priscilla Kelly will go up against Charles Mason and a mystery partner.
