Limitless Wrestling “Built For Speed”
June 20, 2026, in Portland, Maine, at Madrids
Streamed live on YouTube.com
This venue is a dark auditorium; I don’t think I’ve seen this before. Yes, lighting could definitely be better. The crowd was maybe 400, but it was fairly packed. (Before the second match, commentator Johnny Torres noted this was a debut in this room.)
* For no apparent reason, this show is in two video files. One file is 1:10 in length, and the second is 2:02 in length. At least the break came between matches.
1. LJ Cleary vs. Jack Morris. The UK stars both wrestled on Thursday’s Wrestling Open as well (but not against each other!) Again, Cleary is the spouse of WWE’s Lyra Valkyria, and Morris has a similar look to Drew McIntyre. Morris got on the mic and noted this was his first US tour. He said LJ was “the weakest member of the group,” then he hit a clothesline, and we’re underway! Cleary clotheslined him to the floor. They traded chops on the floor. They got back into the ring, with Morris in charge.
Jack hit a hard back elbow at 2:00 and did a Rick Rude hip swivel. Morris hit a delayed vertical suplex for a nearfall. Cleary hit a dropkick into the corner at 5:00. Jack tied him in the Tree of Woe and repeatedly stomped on him. Jack hit a coast-to-coast dropkick for a nearfall! Cleary hit a hard clothesline and a double stomp to the back for a nearfall at 7:30. Morris hit a spinebuster. Cleary hit a spinning back kick, and they were both down at 9:30, and we got a “This is awesome!” chant.
They got up and traded forearm strikes. Morris hit a running knee and a step-up enzugiri in the corner, then a top-rope superplex and a Falcon Arrow for a believable nearfall! Morris went for a Tiger Driver, but Cleary got a rollup for a nearfall. LJ hit a flip dive to the floor at 11:30. In the ring, Cleary hit the “Irish Goodbye” (second-rope Canadian Destroyer) for the pin. That was an awesome opener.
LJ Cleary defeated Jack Morris at 11:40.
* Ring announcer Rich Palladino told the crowd that Limitless Wrestling will be on the MyAEW app.
2. Daron Richardson vs. Daphne DeVille vs. DJ Springs vs. Ace Romero. HOG star Richardson wore a Knicks jersey. Trans star DeVille got a nice pop. I saw Springs’ debut Thursday in Wrestling Open; a commentator said he’s mentored by LaBron Kozone. Nice! I’ll reiterate that Romero has lost 100+ pounds, but he’s still north of 300, and he got a big pop. Deville and Springs hit stereo superkicks on heel Richardson, and we’re underway! Ace hit a massive senton, and Daron rolled to the floor! DJ and Daphne missed stereo dropkicks; Ace clotheslined them both at 1:30.
Romero hit a clothesline on Daron. Daron hit some stomps on Ace in the corner, then a spin kick to Romero’s ear. DeVille hit a running knee on Daron at 3:30. Springs hit a double stomp on DeVille’s back. Ace hit a Tower of Doom on two opponents, then a dropkick on Springs that earned a “Holy shit!” chant, and everyone was down. Deville hit a stunner on Ace at 5:30. Ace hit a Pounce that sent scrawny Richardson flying!
Ace dove through the ropes onto the other three. Springs hit a dive to the floor. He hit a top-rope double stomp in the ring on Daron. Ace powerbombed Springs on the ring apron. Daron dropkicked Deville in the back, got a rollup with a handful of tights, and scored the tainted pin. The crowd was hot and into this.
Daron Richardson defeated Daphne DeVille, Ace Romero, and DJ Springs at 7:38.
* The Shooter Boys came to the ring for the next match. NOTE: This is where the first video ended, and you had to go to the next one.
3) “The Shooter Boys” Aaron Ortiz and Anthony Vecchio vs. Gabby Forza and Jada Stone. The Shooter Boys are heels here. (Ortiz is kayfabe injured in Wrestling Open, but he’s taking dates elsewhere!) The match was already underway as I started the second file, so I started the stopwatch as this video began. The Boys were brawling with Forza. Jada stood on Gabby’s shoulders and hit a backflip to the floor on the Boys (this looked particularly dangerous, but everyone was okay.) Jada got in the ring and brawled with Ortiz.
Vecchio grabbed Jada’s hand as she went for a handspring move. The Boys took control and worked over Jada in their corner. (And again, Jada is maybe 5’2″.) Vecchio hit a spinning back suplex on Jada. Ortiz hit a snap suplex for a nearfall at 3:30. Gabby got the hot tag, and she hit a series of clotheslines, then a powerslam on Vecchio. She hip-tossed Ortiz across the ring and hit a Bulldog Powerslam on him for a believable nearfall at 5:00. The crowd booed, thinking that was a pin. Jada hit a superkick on Ortiz.
Gabby hit chops on both boys, but they hit her with superkicks. Ortiz slammed her and got a nearfall at 7:00, and he argued with the ref. Gabby hit a back-body drop. She hit a second-rope Bulldog Powerslam on Vecchio. Ortiz suplexed Gabby. Jada rolled up Ortiz, who rolled to the floor. Jada hit her double backflip-into-a-stunner on Vecchio! Gabby immediately scooped up Vecchio and hit the Fire Thunder Driver (piledriver) for the pin! The crowd loved that one.
Gabby Ortiz and Jada Stone defeated “The Shooter Boys” Anthony Vecchio & Aaron Ortiz at 8:33 (of what was shown. It was certainly a minute or so longer.)
* Jada got on the mic and noted an upcoming show on Aug. 8. After putting away the Shooter Boys, she wants to get her hands on B3cca! Aaron Ortiz snuck back into the ring and struck Jada with a kendo stick. Gabby returned to the ring and speared Vecchio. Jada grabbed the kendo stick, and she repeatedly hit Ortiz.
4. Nic Nemeth vs. Anthony Greene. Nemeth wrestled in Chicago on Friday for House of Glory (did he and Gabby take the same flight out of Chicago to get here?) Greene is a heel here and was heavily booed. Palladino read a long list of all of Nemeth’s prior titles, everywhere. What a list! Greene would have been in NXT while Nemeth was still on the WWE roster, but I doubt they ever shared a ring there. An intense lockup to open. They twisted each other’s left arms. Greene pretended like he was hit by a punch, so the ref admonished the innocent Nemeth. We got a “You’re a liar!” chant; that’s a new one!
Greene offered a handshake; Nemeth punched Anthony instead at 4:30, then a dropkick. He backed Greene into a corner and repeatedly punched him as the crowd counted along. Greene hit a neckbreaker for a nearfall. Greene unloaded a series of chops, and he kept Nemeth grounded. Nemeth got a backslide for a nearfall, then a leaping clothesline for a nearfall at 8:30. He repeatedly punched Greene in a corner and hit a Rude Awakening standing neckbreaker. Nic hit his series of elbow drops to the sternum. Nemeth hit a Fame-asser for a nearfall at 10:30. Greene hit a swinging faceplant for a nearfall.
Greene left the ring and got a chair, but the ref confiscated it. Nemeth immediately hit the Danger Zone (Zig-Zag leaping inverted DDT) for a believable nearfall at 13:00, and they were both down. Nemeth nailed a superkick for a nearfall. He accidentally splashed the ref in the corner! Greene immediately hit a low-blow punt kick. He grabbed the chair and jabbed it in the ribs, then cracked it over Nemeth’s back. Greene hit a DDT onto the folded chair, but he only got a nearfall at 15:00. Nemeth hit a superkick, then he nailed the Danger Zone for the pin.
Nic Nemeth defeated Anthony Greene at 15:49.
* Intermission went about 22 minutes.
5. 23 Hazard vs. Aiden Aggro (w/J-Heru) in a Vacationland Cup qualifying match. Again, Hazard is a punk kid who simultaneously looks like a young Nick Gage and a young Shane Helms. He draws great heel heat, but I’m admittedly not a fan. Hazard hit a spear, and we’re underway! He stomped on Aggro and jawed at the crowd. Aggro backed him into a corner and repeatedly punched him at 2:00 as the crowd counted along; Hazard rolled to the floor to regroup. Aggro dove through the ropes onto Hazard. Aggro held back Hazard’s arms so the crowd could chop Hazard’s chest. A boy, probably age 12, really laid one in!
In the ring, Hazard hit a TKO uranage for a nearfall at 6:00, and he stomped on Aggro and took back control. Aggro hit a Helluva Kick in the corner at 8:30. Hazard hit a discus clothesline for a nearfall. They brawled on the floor. Hazard went to the ring and jawed at people. He didn’t realize the ref was counting, and he was counted out! Lame finish, but it fits with his character to lose that way.
Aiden Aggro defeated 23 Hazard via count-out at 10:38 to qualify for the Vacationland Cup.
* 23 Hazard got on the mic, and he was livid! He said he’s been trying to get into the VC for three years, and he can’t believe he lost on a friggin’ countout! He said he was refusing to leave the ring until he got into the Cup. Scotty “2 Hotty” Garland came out of the crowd and speared Hazard. (Their feud goes back to prior shows.) Security separated them as the crowd chanted, “Let them fight!” Scotty said that Hazard humiliated him in May before his wife and kids. He challenged Hazard to a match on Aug. 8, and he promised it would be a fight. There will be no ‘worm’ or silliness. “You are nothing but a disrespectful little shit,” Garland said to Hazard. A really good fiery promo from Garland, who dropped more expletives than I’ve heard from him before.
6. Donovan Dijak vs. Bear Bronson for the Limitless Title. Dijak carried two belts; I don’t see his MLW tag belt (the last time I wrote this, he replied that he still has it). The crowd chanted, “New champ!” before the bell. Just seconds in, Bronson hit a Choke Bomb for a nearfall! Dijak rolled to the floor, but Bronson chased him, and they brawled on the floor and over towards a bar. Bear pounded a drink; he stood behind Dijak and hit blows to the chest. They returned to ringside and traded more chops. Bear accidentally chopped the ring post at 2:00.
They continued to trade blows, and Bear hit a clothesline. They fought up onto the auditorium stage, where Dijak hit a DDT at 3:30, earning a “Holy shit!” chant. Dijak threw him into the ring post, and he remained in control. They finally got back into the ring at 6:30, and they traded forearm strikes. Dijak dropped him with a clothesline for a nearfall. He kept Bear tied up on the mat. They finally got up and traded forearm strikes at 10:30. Dijak hit a release suplex, but Bear popped to his feet! Dijak hit a superkick, but Bear hit a clothesline!
Bronson hit another Choke Bomb for a nearfall. Bear hit some running splashes in the corner, then a Black Hole Slam at 12:30. He hit a second-rope elbow drop for a nearfall. He dove through the ropes onto Dijak. In the ring, Dijak nailed his Cyclone Mafia Kick, and they were both down at 14:00. The “New champ!” chant returned, and Dijak sold pain in his neck. Dijak hit a superplex, and immediately hit a Death Valley Driver for a nearfall at 16:30. Dijak nailed the moonsault for a nearfall. (I swear he never actually hits it, so that was rare!) We got another “This is awesome!” chant.
Bear got up and hit some paintbrush open slaps to the cheeks, but Dijak hit a powerbomb. Bear kicked out, and Donovan was shocked. Dijak nailed a superkick and a Choke Bomb, but Bronson kicked out again at 18:00! Donovan went for the Cyclone Mafia Kick, but Bronson caught the leg! Bronson hit the Fire Thunder Driver for a believable nearfall! Bronson rolled to ringside and grabbed a chair, and threw it into the ring. Bronson hit his butt drop to the sternum at 20:00, and he set up the chair. Dijak hit the Feast Your Eyes (pop-up knee strike) while dropping Bear on the open chair for the pin! That was a great brawl.
Donovan Dijak defeated Bear Bronson to retain the Limitless Title at 21:29.
* Dijak helped Bronson to his feet, and they hugged… but then Donovan struck him in the head with his title belt, drawing a “Dijak sucks!” chant. Gabby Forza came to the ring, holding a kendo stick, and she confronted Dijak.
Final Thoughts: Two great matches here, and they looked vastly different. I will go with the main event for best match, but it was close. You had former WWE guy-turned-MLW tag champ Dijak vs. former AEW guy-turned TNA tag champ Bronson. You won’t find two guys more consistently good on the indy scene, either. As I noted, Dijak has a pretty moonsault — he usually lands more than halfway across the ring — so he usually almost never hits it on anyone. (Is he too fearful of crushing a smaller opponent?) Well, he had no problem flattening Bronson with it.
Nemeth-Greene was really good too. Some of my favorite guys are indy wrestlers that NXT gave up on far too quickly (Anthony Greene, Blake Christian, Anthony Henry, Alex Zayne, to name a few!). Greene and Nemeth really meshed well. Morris-Cleary was a really good opener for third, and you can tell those two have done that dance before, too.
I presume that at some point, Limitless will create a single file for the entire show. While they are at it, they should cut out the dead time in the intermission.
