Welcome to the RUMOR MILL brought to you by the Wrestling Monitor, your hub for all the latest news and updates from the world of pro wrestling. Let’s get straight into the news for the month…Since the partnership between Lucha POWER and Warrior Pro Wrestling was announced, many have questioned when we might hear more details on a Lucha POWER show. There is lots of noise that February will be that first show. Lucha POWER has a venue booked in Mexico city for that month, and recent house shows suggest they are building major angles for that date. Expect the main event to be for the currently vacant Lucha POWER belt, as well as matches featuring outside talent. Speaking of Lucha POWER, Pantero Negro Jr. is expected to be at the live Warrior Grounds show to respond to Lefty McDaniel’s challenge from Battle Lines. Vic Baron vs Roy Carter last month was one of the best matches in the young promotion's history, but it wasn’t without some controversy. Rumors persist that right before the match Vic received a letter, and while the contents remain a mystery, Vic seemed extremely disturbed before heading to the ring. This situation is worth keeping an eye on… Luke Casey, who’s showing in the Star of the Jar tournament impressed many both inside and outside Warrior Pro, and there is an expectation that his call up to the main roster is imminent. Same with “Castillo” who is currently working on being repackaged with a long term gimmick. Both men won their prelim match at Battle Lines, and both have bright outlooks for 2019. Tanks McDaniel’s ribs, while progressing, are not fully healed and he has not been cleared to wrestle. He has however received a green light to resume his back stage duties, as well as officiate matches. “Lanky” Lefty McDaniel has also not been cleared, though he is on track to be by early January.

We are days away from a very special LIVE Warrior Grounds, which also acts as the year end show for the young promotion. In addition to a Heavyweight Title fight and a couple of tag team showcases, Lucha POWER’s own Pantero Negro Jr will be on hand to respond to “Lanky” Lefty’s challenge, and Doc Wyatt has promised an announcement to the crowd on hand.
Warrior Grounds #6 will be broadcast LIVE on Twitch at 4pm PT this Friday January 4th.
The scheduled card:
“Perfection” Jack Gold vs Lucha La Barba
Lucha La Barba had one of the most impressive debuts in the promotion’s history, catching Jimmy Hawkins off guard with a rollup a mere 3 minutes into their match. Now he takes on a returning Jack Gold, who hopes to shake off a brutal loss to Machine Gun Mayhem back at High Noon and get back to his “perfect” ways.
Tag Team Tournament Preview: The Flyboys (SHTCW:a) vs Roland Chang Trio (TIPWF)
We are less than a week away from the announcement of the Warrior Pro tag team tournament. This match should be an excellent preview of what is to come, with two exciting guest teams debuting for the Warrior Pro crowd. The Changs will bring their brutal, physical style over from Texas against the high flying Flyboys courtesy of Super HyperTurbo.
John Logan & Vic “The Technician” Baron (w/Austin Baron) vs Roy Carter & Mystery Partner
A lot of different stories surrounding this match-up. Who will be Roy Carter’s mystery partner? Can the Baron’s finally get a measure of payback over Carter? Can Vic stay focused given the cloud of Machine Gun Mayhem floating over him? Given the star power involved this should be a great match, and should be a good indication of where all these men are headed going into the new year.
Heavyweight Championship Match: “Gentleman” Doc Wyatt vs Rampage Hunter (guest referee Tank McDaniel)
The conclusion of the trilogy. Doc Wyatt controlled the first match, and Rampage seemed to have the upper hand in the rematch, but Doc’s chair shot to the ref prevented a clear winner from presenting itself. We’ve been guaranteed a winner this time by Tank McDaniel, and given the animosity that has built up, one would expect this to be an instant classic.
Final Promos:
Doc Wyatt
Rampage Hunter

The first show of 2019 brought closure to 2018, and gave a lot to look forward to in the year ahead. Scroll down for a full recap of the historic LIVE Warrior Grounds #6, including all the matches, post match angles, and comments from both participants of the main event. PreShow Match: Young Guns (Luke Casey and Danny Angelo) vs The MassholesRecap:Both of these hot new prospects continued to make a name for themselves with an impressive performance over the veteran tag team. The Massholes seemed to have the advantage early, cutting off the ring and hitting big move after big move for close pinfalls. But the rooks kept coming, and eventually a double armed tiger driver from the big man Angelo scored the victory for the “Young Guns.” Winner: Young Guns
Rating: ***“Perfection” Jack Gold vs Lucha La BarbaRecap:This… was incredible. Just a few weeks removed from rolling up Jimmy Hawkins in just over 3 minutes, La Barba scored ANOTHER flash pin on the unsuspecting Jack Gold- this time in just over 2 minutes. The crowd again went insane as the “Lucha Gringo” seems to becoming a quick fan favorite among the Warrior Pro crowd. Winner: Lucha La Barba
Rating: **Doc, flanked by Brick, is heads to the ring to make his announcement...Tag Team Tournament Preview: The Flyboys (SHTCW:a) vs Roland Chang Trio (TIPWF)Recap:If this is what we have to look forward to in the as yet to be announced tag team tournament, then we are all in for a treat. Two guest teams from outside promotions went all out in this one, as both teams slugged it out from the opening bell. Twice we saw the Roland Chang Trio dump the Flyboys outside with apron powerbombs, and multiple times we saw all four men brawling at once. Unfortunately it was Roland Change III, the promising younger Chang, that fell victim to a late falcon arrow that would seal the deal for The Flyboys. Winner: The Flyboys
Rating: ***John Logan & Vic “The Technician” Baron vs Roy Carter & ??Recap:Machine Gun Mayhem continued his weird obsession with Vic Baron. Baron, who pinned Machine Gun back at NIGHTMARE in October, has been harassed by MGM ever since. During entrances, a message from MGM flashed on camera wishing Vic “Good Luck.” As we learned earlier in the night, Roy Carter has signed on with Doc Wyatt, and it was Brick who turned out to be his mystery opponent. A lot of history between these four men, and the action illustrated that. Early attempts by Vic and Logan to double team Brick and take the big man out proved unsuccessful, and before long the match squared off Vic Baron and Roy Carter in a rematch from last month where Roy won via a Game Over piledriver. On this night, Baron would get a measure of revenge- reversing Carter late in the match and choking him out. After the match, Carter began screaming at the ref that he did NOT tap and that the match was called early. Winner: John Logan &; Vic Baron
Rating: ***Lanky McDaniel and Pantero Negro Jr. head to the ring...Heavyweight Championship Match: “Gentleman” Doc Wyatt (Champion) vs Rampage Hunter (Special Guest Referee Tank McDaniel)Recap:Perhaps the most hyped championship bought in the history of the promotion. After a controversial “No Contest” at Battle Lines, both men came in with something to prove. But it was Rampage Hunter who seemed the most determined. Both men went straight at it from the jump, but Rampage used his size and strength to his advantage, more so than the previous two meetings. Doc was able to slip out of an early Lights Out powerbomb, and avoid a spear, but he could not get any offense of his own in. Eventually, Rampage would hit a powerbomb, into a running lariat, into a spear for an extremely impressive victory. Rampage will now face John Logan at the next Warrior Pro show. Winner: AAAAND NEW CHAMPION Rampage Hunter
