With continued travel restrictions and complications regarding their World Champion, there have been changes to the usual format to both the lead in to Lucha Fantastico, the co-branded supershow between Lucha POWER and Warrior Pro, and its accompanying go home show. For one, Warrior Grounds this Friday will not take place in Mexico City as per the usual tradition, and will instead reside in the normal confines of Gorilla Hall. Second, for the first time, the Warrior Pro World Title will not be defended on Lucha Fantastico. Instead, the go-home show will be a loaded one, with two titles on the line, as well as appearances by top stars Rampage Hunter and the Jackson Hole Outlaws. Match Preview:Red Masterson vs Jimmy HawkinsTwo up and coming stars looking to shake off high profile losses and get back on the winning path. This will be a match-up of speed vs power and may come down to how well Jimmy Hawkins can avoid the big Texan’s ring rattling lariat. The winner should put themselves back on the short list for the next singles title opportunity. Tag Team Championship: Grim Reapers (c) vs Nightmare Clown & Loco DixonThe sole cross promotional match on the card see’s Lucha POWER’s Nightmare Clown and Loco Dixon getting their first shot at tag team gold against the newly minted champs. The Reapers have proven able to adapt to different styles during their first reign, but this one should test that. Both Nightmare and Loco are expected to use all objects at their disposal, and a win would be a feather in the cap for El Macho leading into the cross promotional show, but getting past one of the most dominant tag teams in the world will be no easy feat. World Heavyweight Championship: John Logan (c) vs Brick CaseyBrick earned this shot when he beat Vic Baron at High Noon earlier this month, with this shot coming almost exactly a year from when he nearly defeated Baron for the belt at last years Lucha Fantastico. He’ll go up against John Logan, who’s looking to become just the third champion in company history to successfully defend the title twice. This may come down to whether or not Logan can avoid the big man and land enough of his own stuff to keep the big man down, because if he can’t- the red hot veteran may finally be able to add his first world title in nearly 10 years to his resume. Ahead of Friday’s show, both Brick Casey and John Logan gave statements via video teleconference… Brick CaseyJohn Logan

Warrior Grounds #24 The show opens with a recap of Lucha POWER Presents, then a graphic showing the announced card for the show next week LUCHA FANTASTICO WILL AIR LIVE ON MARCH 4th at 5:30pm PT on TWITCH
?? vs Nightmare Clown
El Macho & Doctor Dorado vs The Jackson Hole Outlaws
Community Trios Match
Los Terribles vs Dungeon Dominguez and Jack Gold
Lucha Power Championship: Diego Guerrero (c) vs Doc WyattRampage Hunter comes out to start the show, picking up a mic and entering the ring...Red Masterson vs Jimmy HawkinsRecap:A wild crazy opener that may have stolen the show. Both men had something to prove coming off tough losses, and both left everything out in the ring. Red busted up Hawkins early, and seemed to have the advantage- but despite hitting his Unforgiven finisher, couldnt keep the high flyer down. A superkick from Hawkins would crumble the big Texan and earn Flyin Jimmy the victory. Winner: Jimmy Hawkins
Rating: *****After the match Hawkins would help Red off the mat and the two would shake hands before Red would raise Jimmy’s nad before they would both exit the ring. Before the next match, Doc Wyatt and Robino would enter the ring as the crowd booed both men... 
Doc and Roy stood over Robino’s limp body as Doc continued…
Doc drops the mic and he and Roy exit the ring
Tag Team Championship: Grim Reapers (c) vs Nightmare Clown & Loco Dixon
Recap:
A brutal, bloody affair that had the Lucha POWER tag team try and turn the match into a straight up street fight. The champs kept their composure however, and were able to eventually put the challengers away for the first defense of their second title reign.
Winner: Grim Reapers
Rating: ***
World Heavyweight Championship: John Logan (c) vs Brick Casey
Recap:
The start of the match was fairly predictable- Brick used his superior size and strength to keep the champ off balance and away from his prime offense. But John Logan, with the help of Paco Pequeno at ringside, seemed undeterred, and kept working to get in range to hit his big moves. The first Logan’s run didnt finish the match, but a brutal lariat followed by a second Logan’s Run was enough for the champ to retain.
Winner: John Logan
Rating: ****
After the match, John Logan celebrated in the ring with Paco as the show went off the air...

The season finale of Lucha POWER comes this Thursday with the annual Lucha Supershow that will see a jam packed card headlined by a cross promotional match for the Lucha POWER championship. All the action kicks off promptly at 5:30pm PT LIVE on Twitch!
Match PreviewsVaquero vs Nightmare ClownFreshly signed to the promotion, Vaquero will have his Lucha POWER debut against the dangerous and unpredictable Nightmare Clown. Vaquero is rumored to be a fast, high flying luchadore that has pleased crowds all across Mexico and is looking to bring that charisma to a mainstream audience. The challenge will be not to be broken in half by Nightmare, who has a tendency to use everything at his disposal to ensure he grounds high flying opponents. Doctor Dorado & El Macho vs Jackson Hole Outlaws (Animal & Roy)The ultimate grudge match. Dorado, who was kidnapped by Doc Wyatt and his Outlaw goons to force El Macho's hand in granting him a title shot, is looking for revenge against the group. He will fight side by side with El Macho, who will be fighting one week from the anniversary of losing his mask last year, and will no doubt want to end this year's show on a more positive note. The Outlaw tag team of Roy Carter and Bo "The Animal" Leslie will make their debut with an eye up north, hoping an impressive victory in a big show will get their name in the title picture back home at Warrior Pro... Community Trios Showcase: Hexagon Jr., Silver Blaze, El Experto (SFW) vs Super Mohan (La Guerra), Rodimus Prime (STRUGGLE), Arnazito Miracolo (HTW)In what has become an annual tradition, luchadores from all over will compete in a lucha rules trio's match. Representatives from Humble, STRUGGLE, Santana Family Wrestling, and La Guerra will match up with indie talent and Lucha POWER's own Hexagon Jr. This should be an action packed match filled with highlights from companies all around the world. [Los Terribles vs Dungeon and Jack Gold (with Paco Pequeno)This match has been simmering for moths. It was Pantero who ended Dungeon Dominguez's nearly one year title reign- one that contained more than one war with Pantero's cousin Lobo Muerte. Paco Pequeno's ever expanding stable of talent is looking to make a statement and prove that his clients should be considered for the next title shot, and what better way to do that than beat a team of former Lucha POWER and Warrior Pro champions. Meanwhile Los Terribles are out for blood after continuous attacks have left both Lobo and Pantero beaten and bloodied. Expect this one to be violent. Lucha POWER Championship: Diego Guerrero (c) vs Doc WyattThe main event may be the biggest match the company has hosted since El Macho took over ownership. Doc, one of the top heels in wrestling, went to great lengths to secure this match and give himself a shot to be the first wrestler to actively hold belts in both Warrior Pro and Lucha POWER. He will have to get past Diego Guerrero, the current champ who won his belt by winning a tournament that included impressive wins over Lobo Muerte and Jack Gold, then defeating Pantero Negro Jr for the shocking upset. Doc has traditionally struggled against luchas and Diego has been red hot, but you can never count out Doc and his antics- either way this has a good shot to be a classic.

A message from the PEWALuke Powers: So I took my shot at the top again, and turned out that ol' Hobo's still got more miracles left in his tank. I gave it my best, and he still found a way to hold onto that damn belt. And the real joke here is that he couldn't even care less about it. Guy just wants to have matches, moonsault on people, train the up and coming and support the Salvation Army. Full respect on that. Jack Fury: He is one of us, a dying breed. A man who only remains in this business because competition is ingrained into his very essence. And sometimes, for us, it is hard to believe that there may yet be others out there who strive as we do. Powers: And that's where Rampage Hunter comes into this. You see, I don't just close myself off from the rest of the wrestling world. I may be PEWA through and through, Philly for life, until the day I die, but I'm always checking out what else is going on out there. And I was watching one of the best damn shows of the year, Warrior Grounds #24, and right as that comes on, I hear Rampage open up speaking my name. This guy calls me the legend, and thinks he can get a big time show stealing match out of me. And all of you that know me, you know I don't BS. I don't do fake hype. I just lost a big title match to an old ass transient dude with a grey beard and a wardrobe straight out of Goodwill...serious, I'm not joking, that's where Harry gets his stuff. And I'm thinking, "you're calling me the legend, come on, man, I've seen better days! But then, like I said, I don't BS, I don't do fake hype, but I also don't do the fake modest act, either. I think, "you know, I'm the most decorated mother friggin man in PEWA history," and I tell myself "that didn't just go away because I didn't get the job done." So you know, Rampage is damn right, I'm the legend. And then I start thinking about this match he's asking for, and I see a guy who's taken care of things everywhere he's gone. Rampage Hunter is legit. He hits like a strong safety blitz, gets up from anything and he backs down from nobody. Fury: Sounds like someone I know, in all truthfulness. Powers: So yeah, Rampage, you want it, you'll get it. Let's blast that roof into orbit and give your fans something that they'll remember for a long, long time.

The third annual Lucha POWER/Warrior Pro supershow lived up to the hype with a packed card filled with crazy lucha action. Read on for the full recap, including all matches, results, and a final conclusion to Season Two of Lucha POWER Presents... Vaquero vs Nightmare ClownRecap: An impressive debut match for the promotions newest member. Nightmare Clown pulled out all the stops to pick up the win, but it was the newcomer that would stay the course and pick up the victory. Winner: Vaquero
Rating: ***Doctor Dorado & El Macho vs Jackson Hole Outlaws (Animal & Roy)Recap:With all the personal history here, this match took the profile of a bar room brawl and less of an actual match. After 30 minutes of brawling with little regard for things like pins, the time limit would run out with both teams still fighting on the outside with officials having to break up both teams. Winner: DRAW
Rating: **Community Trios Showcase: Hexagon Jr., Silver Blaze, El Experto (SFW) vs Super Mohan (La Guerra), Rodimus Prime (STRUGGLE), Arnazito Miracolo (HTW)Recap:A crazy action packed match that showcased six luchas from around the world and predictably stole the show with the favorite for match of the night. In the middle of all the six man mayhem, Arazito Miracolo snagged a rollup victory for his team Winner: Super Mohan, Rodimus Prime, & Arnazito Miracolo
Rating: ****Los Terribles vs Dungeon Dominguez and Jack Gold (w/ Paco Pequeno)Recap:Though he was prevented from defending his belt on the show, Warrior Pro Champion John Logan made an appearance at ringside, showing off the full stable of Team Paco for the first time. Technical difficulties on the live show prevented viewers from seeing one of the best tag team matches of the young year. The Terribles cousins looked great early on, but Dungeon Dominguez, who has mostly been held on ice over the last 6 months, went rough shot- blasting through both men and setting up teammate Jack Gold to snag the rollup pin and the victory for team Paco. Winner: Dungeon Dominguez and Jack Gold
Rating: ****Lucha Championship: Diego Guerrero (c) vs Doc WyattRecap:It was the Doc Wyatt match we have all come to expect. Diego looked like a million bucks early, but Doc would hang around, and when Diego tried to take things to the top rope, Doc being Doc countered into the rollup pin to become the first person to win both the Warrior Pro and Lucha POWER championships. Winner: AND NEEEEEW CHAMP Doc Wyatt
Rating: ****AFTER THE SHOW IN EL MACHO'S OFFICE.... El Macho sat alone in his office, a tall glass of tequila left untouched in front of him. It had been a long six months, but with the biggest show of the year over he had to admit, the crowd was strong and the matches for the most part had delivered. He could overhear the wrestlers changing in the next room, the energy seemingly positive. Maybe he was finally over the hump. Sure, Doc Wyatt as champ was going to be a headache but he couldnt deny the gringo would sell tickets, and match ups with his top guys would be a fresh change of pace. Hell, even a rematch with Diego would probably sell out. Things were looking up. "Hefe?" El Macho looked up and saw former champ Diego Guerrero standing at the door. "Si, claro, adelante." Diego entered and took a seat. His eyes wandered around the room, it seemed as if he was avoiding El Macho's gaze. "That match mas excelente Diego. I know you must be disappointed, but we can run it back, Doc is a bendejo but he will sell tickets. Look what he did for Lobo Muerte up north- you will be a star when its all said and done." "I dont know. This past year... I just dont know if this is the right company for me. This place is crazy, Paco ran this company at gunpoint and you let him hang around and manage people? Doc literally kidnapped your friend and you give him a title shot? Esta loco. I need to evaluate my options." "Options?" Macho leaned back in his chair. "Diego, muchacho, there aren't many options here in Mexico. There are fewer and fewer promotions running. Hell even long standing lucha promotions outside of Mexico like Santana Family Wrestling aren't running anymore. Where would you go?" "Per usual hefe, you don't know everything thats going on. " Diego stood up and put a piece of paper on the table. "These were being handed out at the show tonight." As he turned and left the room, Macho leaned forward to read the flyer. While studying the words, he grabbed the glass of tequila and took it down all at once. "Fuck"
