Earlier today Warrior Pro Wrestling announced their next slate of show's with some big names and big matches headlining the both Warrior Grounds and their big April show... March 26th- Warrior Grounds #25The Card: Luxurious Purple Jacket Match: Tommy "Masshole" O'Malley vs "Young Gun" Byron Worthy vs Markus Winter Red Masterson & Cowboy Johnston vs Baron Family The quarter century show for Warrior Grounds is a stacked card. Tommy O'Malley has been wearing the LBJ for months now without comment, but after it was announced that he would face legal consequences if he didn't defend it, the resident drunkard seems to be looking for a loophole based on his announced match. We also currently have few details on why rivals Red and Cowboy are teaming up, though we're hearing we may get an explanation on the show itself April 1st- End of the RoadThe Card (as of today): TBA TBA Rampage Hunter vs Luke Powers Warrior Pro Tag Team Championship: Grim Reapers vs Outlaws (Animal & Carter) Warrior Pro Intercontinental Championship: Doc Wyatt (c) vs Robino Warrior Pro World Heavyweight Championship: John Logan (c) vs Young Blood (in a steel cage) The back half of this card might be the strongest in the promotions history. All four of the matches announced could be MotY contenders, and sources say the remaining as yet announced matches are also big and expected to be announced at Warrior Grounds next week. All of this on the last show before the annual Golden Gate Tournament kicks off in May. Tune back here next week for all the lead up into Warrior Grounds...

Friday will mark a quarter century of house shows for Warrior Pro Wrestling, and the lineup- which leads into one of the most stacked cards in the history of the promotion- should prove to be one of the more entertaining, with a fancy jacket on the line, and an all star tag team main eventing. There is also word that Doc Wyatt will be on hand to give his first thoughts since turning on Robino, and winning the Lucha POWER championship. Check back here THIS FRIDAY for the full Warrior Grounds #25 show! Card Preview:LPJ Match: Tommy "Masshole" O'Malley vs "Young Gun"For the first time in over a year the Luxurious Purple Jacket will be defended, though it will be under extremely controversial circumstances. Tommy O’Malley, who by all accounts stole the jacket, will be defending it against a Baron School “Young Gun” trainee. It should be noted that this match has not been sanctioned by iWe, the promotion that owns the jacket, nor are they recognizing O’Malley as the true owner (the last official winner would be American Mullet). Rumors have it that iWe is planning to send someone to the show to get this mess straightened out... Byron Worthy vs Markus WinterTwo of the companies future stars face off in a match that could one day be viewed as a main event. Both are looking for wins to start a push toward the G2 tournament so expect this one to be an intense hard hitting affair. There have been rumors flying around that Virgil Wyatt has taken an interest in Byron Worthy and may begin to officially manage the promising young star. Red Masterson & Cowboy Johnston vs The Baron FamilyIn a shocking turn of events, Red Masterson announced last week that he would team with Cowboy for the main event of this show. Why would two men that have been throwing insults back and forth at each other for over a year team up? We’ve been told Red will address just that before their match on the show. Needless to say if this is a long term pairing, Red may have finally found the ally that can even the odds against Wyatt’s destruction. As for their opponents, the Baron Family makes this an all Texas showdown featuring two legends (Austin and Cowboy) and two men looking to forge their own legacy (Vic and Red). Regardless of who wins, this should be a worthy main event to a milestone show.

Warrior Grounds #25 Warrior Grounds #25 starts off with a highlight clip of the previous 24 episodes of the show, before showing the finale of last month's Lucha Fantastico, with Doc Wyatt winning the Lucha POWER championship. As the video ends, Doc Wyatt himself enters the ring and graps a mic... Red comes out with Cowboy and graps a mic of his own...Red and Cowboy exit the ring as Doc looks quizzically on before exiting himself...LPJ Match: Tommy "Masshole" O'Malley vs "Young Gun"Recap:A more even matchup than one would have expected given the experience gap between the two men. Tommy seemed to be playing around with the rookie before finally putting the match away for good. Winner: Tommy O'Malley
Rating: ***After the match, iWe World Champion Bradley Banks came out to the ring... Byron Worthy vs Markus WinterRecap:An exciting back and forth match showing off two of the rising stars in the company. Despite locking in the 1-3-1 Trap submission multiple times, Byron Worthy couldn't finish off The Last Viking, and a Winter Is Coming got Markus Winter back in the win column Winner: Markus WInter
Rating: ****Red Masterson & Cowboy Johnston vs The Baron FamilyRecap:An action packed match with everyone hitting big moves throughout, with several opportunities for both sides to finish off the match. In the end, the 30 min time would run out and both sides would be left with a draw... Winner: DRAW
Rating: ****
After the match, both sides would star the other down before all four men exchanged hand shakes, before the entire Jackson Hole Outlaw crew would walk to ringside and stare down the ring as the show went off the air...

A press conference that was scheduled at noon today to promote THIS THURSDAY's Warrior Pro show was abruptly canceled after conflicts erupted from the camps of both main event fighters. Traditionally, Warrior Pro has made its main event participants available to the media the week of the show- but last night signals from both fighters put that plan at risk. Sources state Young Blood had no plans to even be in San Jose until the day of the show, and was planning to send lackey Standford Bradley instead. As those rumors picked up steam, this morning John Logan indicated that he would also skip the presser and instead send manager Paco Pequeno. Already facing heavy pressure from Midas Mathews,-who owns the contracts of both main event fighters and has been vocal in his displeasure that the rematch isnt happening in his own company- owner Tank McDaniel called the whole thing off roughly an hour before reporters were to show up. Instead, Tank gave a brief statement that was also broadcast on the company's website. He took no questions and was obviously in a foul mood while speaking: End of the Road will broadcast LIVE ON TWITCH at 5:30pm PT THIS THURSDAY

We're a little over 24 hours before what's shaping up to be one of the biggest shows in the history of Warrior Pro. All titles on the line. A match for the fate of the Luxurious Purple Jacket. A dream match between two of the hardest hitting and most decorated wrestlers in the sport today. And a rematch of one of the best matches of the year.
All of this will take place tomorrow, LIVE on TWITCH at 5:30pm PT from Moffett Field in San Jose, California. Match Preview:LPJ Match: Tommy "Masshole" O'Mally vs Bradley BanksAfter over a year of inactivity from one of the most prestigious events in wrestling due to the pandemic, the Luxurious Purple Jacket was stolen and claimed by local drunkard Tommy O'Malley. After staging a "defense" of the jacket against a Warrior Pro "Young Gun" trainee, current iWe champion Bradley Banks issued a challenge in order to bring the jacket back to its rightful home under the iWe banner. This could get interesting, given the unpredictable nature of how the jacket landed with Tommy to begin with. Red Masterson vs Jimmy Hawkins IIWhat may have looked like a tune up match for Red Masterson after officially exiting the Outlaws turned into a 5 star war at Warrior Grounds #24, with Jimmy Hawkins taking it to the big Texan. Hawkins has been on fire over the last 6 months, earning wins over top guys including current champ John Logan and coming within a hair of winning both the World and IC titles. Red on the other hand has struggled since his break up with the Outlaws, and needs to get back on track with a decisive win. Both men have their eyes focused on the upcoming G2 tournament and building momentum as it approaches. This could be the dark horse pick for match of the night... Rampage Hunter vs Luke PowersRampage has fought all over the country, winning belts in PCP, Tiger Stripe Pro, and iWe. But now he's not looking for a title shot, just a chance to test his meddle against one of the all time greats, and a personal hero. Luke Powers vs Rampage is a dream match up, and a potential chance to look at the past vs the future in what is sure to be a classic battle of two men trying to knock each other out with big powerbombs and vicious spears. This one is for bragging rights, but one has to wonder if the winner might start peaking at gold in the loser's promotion. Warrior Pro Tag Team Championship: Grim Reapers vs Outlaws (Animal & Carter)The Outlaws are reformed and retooled- with the current configuration of Roy Carter and Bo "The Animal" Leslie a combination of two fierce tag team partners that each have a history of success in the division both inside and outside the company. But the challenge they face to win gold is deep. The Grim Reapers have been reaping opponents basically since the moment they signed with the company, and a win here would cement them as the greatest tag team in the companies history. Warrior Pro Intercontinental Championship: Doc Wyatt (c) vs RobinoThis one has... layers. When the IC title was first introduced, Robino walked through almost the entire Jackson Hole Outlaw crew in order to become its inaugural champion. So it was a bit of a shock when Doc Wyatt, who has been re-tooling the group after a tumultuous summer, asked the iWe star to join. The invitation turned out to be a planned double cross as Doc set him up for a vicious beat down to send a message that he was the one and true champion of the division. Now we'll see the two longest reigning IC champions duke it out in what should be a classic match. Warrior Pro World Heavyweight Championship: John Logan (c) vs Young Blood (in a steel cage)Another match that has been building for months. When Midas Mathews signed both John Logan and Young Blood to his Golden Touch Promotion's brand, many thought it would be the start of a massive coup for the head of The Office. Instead, it almost instantly blew up in his face. In a match to determine who would be the leader of the group, Young Blood dropped Logan right on his head outside the ring, ending the match before it ever really got started. Logan has been pining for a rematch ever since, and after Midas balked at the idea, he went back to his Warrior Pro roots and had Tank McDaniel book the match for the Warrior Pro title. This one is sure to be brutal and bloody, but the ramifications, regardless of who wins, will reverberate throughout the wrestling world.

It was a show of ups and downs as matches flowed from epic all timers to weird, controversial finishes. One thing is for sure, with the Golden Gate Tournament on the horizon, Warrior Pro Wrestling is heading towards a very interesting summer... Scroll down for all the matches, recaps, and a very interesting post show news conference... LPJ Match: Tommy "Masshole" O'Malley vs Bradley BanksRecap:Well... it would seem we got the match we deserved. After a fairly even back and forth in the ring, Tommy took the match to the outside, where both men started exchanging blows before "The Masshole" managed to duct tape Brad Banks feet together, keeping him out of the ring and ending the match as a double count out. Right as the bell rang, Tommy sprinted out of the arena, leaving a furious Banks and continuing the saga of the stolen jacket... Winner: DRAW
Rating: **Red Masterson vs Jimmy Hawkins IIRecap:This match, while not quite as good as their initial match, was still something to be had. Jimmy Hawkins continues his red hot streak, kicking out of a brutal lariat, avoiding a couple others and securing another impressive victory with a pair of superkicks. Winner: Jimmy Hawkins
Rating: ****
After the match, word got out that Red was jumped in the back, and left laying on the ground grabbing his ribs. Sources say he believed he was hit with a baseball bat...Rampage Hunter vs Luke PowersRecap:This was everything fans were hoping to see. A brutal, hard fought match between two of the best in the business. While it seemed like the younger Rampage would score a victory with a pair of brutal spears, the future Hall of Famer seemed ready for them, and countered with a 3 minute stretch of continuous powerbombs until he literally turned the lights out, knocking Rampage out cold for the victory... Winner: Luke Powers
Rating: *****Warrior Pro Tag Team Championship: Grim Reapers vs Outlaws (Animal & Carter)Recap:This was a weird one. After an early match back and forth Bo Leslie motioned to the corner that something was wrong, continuously pointing to his knee. Roy Carter repeatedly came back to the corner to check on his partner, with Virgil checking as well, and after a brief attempt to re-engage in the match, it seemed apparent that Roy Carter would be on his own. The Sargent in Armbreakers almost pulled it off himself, putting on the match of his life fighting back both Reapers, but the numbers were too much and eventually he was forced to tap to Tyson Heyward's Deaths Door submission... Winner: Grim Reapers
Rating: ***Warrior Pro Intercontinental Championship: Doc Wyatt (c) vs RobinoRecap:The usually electric Robino came into this match with a different strategy- attack Doc's arms and limit his ability to finish with the Superman Punch or Black Gold. It seemed to be a smart strategy, Doc- without his usual backup- looked to be tiring and losing steam. And then Doc did what Doc always does, he found a loophole- nailing Robino with brass knucks to secure a record 6th title defense... Winner: Doc Wyatt
Rating: ***Warrior Pro World Heavyweight Championship: John Logan (c) vs Young Blood (in a steel cage)Recap:An all time classic- one of the best matches to grace a Warrior Pro ring. This was brutal carnage from the onset, both men hell bent on delivering the knockout blow. The turning point was a brutal fork stabbing that Young Blood delivered to the champ, opening him up and and completely blinding him with blood in the eyes. Off of sheer instinct Logan would hit his second Logan's Run...for the closest two count you'll ever see. But with the blood pouring out the champ seemed to not be able to move around the ring, and it gave Young Blood the opening to drill a Last Will and Testament for the win. Winner: Annd NEEEEEW World Heavyweight Champion, Young Blood
Rating: *****After the show, before any wrestlers were made available, Tank took to the podium to share a few thoughts... He noted that there were several injuries on the show. Rampage suffered a concussion, though it was unknown how severe and he was taken to the hospital to be evaluated. Bo Leslie suffered a "major" knee injury and will likely miss a fair amount of time. The fear is broken ribs for Red Masterson, and Tank stressed that they were investigating the post match attack. He noted that both Logan did not suffer any long standing injuries in the main event, though he was getting stitched up as we speak. He mentioned that he would continue to book Tommy O'Malley in matches for the jacket, and that a new challenger would need to present him or herself. He seemed unconcerned with how iWe would take this, calling the promotion "asleep." On the prospects of a rematch of the main event: John Logan was out first, head bandaged and obviously still bleeding...Next up the entire Jackson Hole Outlaw team takes the podium, with Virgil leading the way...
