Free Flow Wrestling “From Scratch”
August 7, 2026, in Greensboro, North Carolina, at Hangar 1819
Replay available on IndependentWrestling.TV

The show was posted this week on IWTV. There are several wrestlers here from the New England area, and two guys from the Chicago scene. (New York City to Greensboro is a nine-hour drive, so these guys came quite a distance!) This is the promotion’s inaugural event.

* This venue is a small, dark tavern. I was pleased that when the first match started, the ring suddenly became well-lit. Sadly, the crowd was maybe 100. I’m fairly certain I haven’t seen roughly a third of the wrestlers on this show before. (For me, that’s a pretty high percentage!) They have a nice, new logo in the center of the mat. The top and bottom ropes are green; the middle rope is yellow. It’s certainly different. Matt Miller, Andrew Diggs, Arepeggio Dasolo, and Christian Barajas provided commentary over the course of the show. (They ran credits! I was able to get everyone’s name spelled right!)

* Jordan Oliver was slated for a tag match alongside Alec Price, but he had a health issue that also caused him to miss a JCW show that weekend. (He has since returned to wrestling.)

1. BK Westbrook vs. Elliot Shock. BK is a regular in the Carolinas and competed frequently in Deadlock Pro; I’ve often compared him to a heel Adam Cole. A commentator noted BK was just on AEW TV, and I know I just saw him compete in Texas. I saw Shock at least once before in nearby Premiere Wrestling Federation; he’s a young Black man, similar to Man Like DeReiss. Both presented themselves as heels on their way to the ring. Standing switches to open. BK dove through the ropes at 1:30. In the ring, they traded chops.

Elliot hit a Black Hole Slam for a nearfall at 4:00. He got a rollup with his hands on the ropes, but the ref saw it. BK hit a springboard back elbow at 6:00, then a flipping powerbomb for a nearfall. Shock hit a DDT and a top-rope flying headbutt for a nearfall at 8:00. BK countered with a discus clothesline, then a springboard moonsault for the pin. Good action.

BK Westbrook defeated Elliot Shock at 8:36.

2. Leedz Lewis vs. Evan Cross vs. Julezee vs. Morgan Dash vs. DJ Springs vs. Luke Fury in an elimination match. Dash also competed in Deadlock Pro; he’s maybe 5’4,” but he’s talented. I keep finding matches from French star Leedz on his U.S. excursion. Julezee has been competing a lot in the Northeast. I haven’t seen Cross, Springs, or Fury before; none of them have a cagematch.net bio yet. Cross wore some scary face paint that made it look like his eyes were bleeding. Springs is a young Black man with longer hair. Fury is a scrawny, white emo kid. All six fought at the bell.

Leedz hit a flip dive to the floor on everyone at 2:00. Springs hit a dive. Julezee hit a dive. Morgan hit a top-rope moonsault. Morgan hit a top-rope Shooting Star Press into the ring for a nearfall. Julezee hit a spin kick to Fury’s head for a pin at 3:13. The match continued without a break. Cross hit a stunner to pin Julezee at 3:40, and we’re down to four. Leedz nailed a Buckle Bomb and a spin kick to the head on Springs, then a top-rope 450 Splash to pin Springs at 5:02. Dash hit a spin kick on Leedz. Leedz hit a Michinoku Driver on Cross for a nearfall, but he missed a split-legged moonsault.

Dash hit a tornado DDT on Leedz. Cross hit a springboard fadeaway double-stunner, and all three were down at 7:30. They all got up and traded forearm strikes. Leedz hit a Pele Kick on Cross, then hit his split-legged moonsault. However, Cross hit a low-blow uppercut (in front of the ref!) and pinned Lewis at 9:26! Cross hit a TKO stunner for a nearfall, and he screamed at the ref! Morgan hit a handspring-back-spin kick and a Jay Driller for the pin. Fun action. The guy I figured would win did indeed score the victory.

Morgan Dash defeated Leedz Lewis, Evan Cross, Julezee, DJ Springs, and Luke Fury in an elimination match at 11:08.

* In the locker room, James Ryan talked about how this is his return match, and he’s nervous because he’s taking on such a great talent. He’s a white kid with a Southern drawl.

* Amanda Kiss came to the ring. She is a crazy, demented character; like Elliot Shock, I’ve seen her in PWF. She got on the mic and announced that her opponent couldn’t make it tonight. Ella Envy (a true ‘Karen’ character) came to the ring, but she’s not dressed to wrestle. Ella berated the crowd and got loud boos. She introduced a replacement opponent.

3. Amanda Kiss vs. Moxy Monroe. I hadn’t seen Moxy before; she’s a white woman with long, straight brown hair, and she wore a black one-piece. Standing switches to open, and Moxy is a bit thicker. Kiss hit a crossbody block for a nearfall at 1:30. Monroe hit a Black Hole Slam for a nearfall. She hit a snap suplex. Monroe hit an X-Factor out of the ropes for a nearfall at 4:30. Kiss fired up and hit some forearm strikes. Monroe hit a Gory Bomb for a nearfall. Kiss hit a spear at 7:00, then a moonsault for a nearfall, but Ella Envy pulled Amanda to the floor and beat her up. The ref immediately called for the bell.

Amanda Kiss defeated Moxy Monroe via DQ at 7:13.

4. Jack Valor and Eddie Grayson vs. “Hustle N’ Flow” Jordan Holt and Zay Vega in a No. 1 contender’s match for the World of Flow Tag Titles. Valor and Grayson routinely compete in Chicago Style Wrestling, so I’m surprised to see them here. They are scrawny, young white kids but are fairly decent wrestlers. I’ve seen Holt and Vega on nearby ASE Wrestling shows. Holt (yellow pants) opened against Grayson (red singlet). Valor (red pants) and Vega (red trunks) traded offense.

Hustle N’ Flow hit stereo dropkicks on Valor at 4:00. Valor and Holt traded chops. Vega hit a dropkick in the corner at 6:00, as the locals continued to work over Valor. The commentators noted that Holt and Vega are the ASE Tag champs. Valor finally hit a DDT, and he made the hot tag to Grayson at 7:30. Eddie hit running clotheslines and back elbows in opposite corners on each opponent, then a Claymore Kick on Holt for a nearfall.

Valor hit a sunset flip bomb for a nearfall. Vega hit a kip-up stunner and a plancha. Meanwhile, Holt hit a top-rope crossbody block on Valor for a nearfall at 10:00. The locals hit a Chasing the Dragon brainbuster move for a nearfall. However, the Chicago duo hit a team Styles Clash for the pin! Definitely an upset. They all shook hands afterwards.

Jack Valor and Eddie Grayson defeated “Hustle N’ Flow” Jordan Holt and Zay Vega in a No. 1 contender’s match for the World of Flow Tag Titles at 10:59.

5. Diego Hill vs. Saint Julious. Yeah, I tuned in to see a Diego match. I don’t think I’ve seen Julious before; he came out to some ‘Southern church’ music that had the crowd up and dancing, and the commentators shouting “Hallelujah!” Hill had the ring announcer introduce him as being from “MLW and CMLL.” Standing switches to open, and some quick reversals. Diego hit a huracanrana, but Julious landed on his feet. Julious did the same, with Diego also landing on his feet. Stereo dropkick attempts and a standoff at 1:30. Nice!

Julious tried to convince Diego to join him in prayer. Julious started to pray, but then he dropkicked Diego. (Diego said something I couldn’t hear, but the crowd went nuts for it.) Diego hit another huracanrana. “Gravity is optional in this match,” a commentator said. Diego hit a jump-up missile dropkick at 4:30, then a plancha to the floor. In the ring, Julious hit a superkick, so Diego nailed an even stiffer superkick. Julious hit a Poison Rana and a Crucifix Driver, and they were both down at 6:00.

They got up, and Diego hit a loud overhand chop. “You saw the holy water fly off of him!” a commentator said. They traded chops. Diego hit a double stomp to the back at 8:00 and some spin kicks, but he missed a moonsault. Julious hit a DVD and a moonsault for a nearfall at 9:30. Julious hit an Asai Moonsault to the floor. Diego dove through the ropes onto him. This has been a blast. In the ring, Diego hit a mid-ring Spanish Fly, then a second-rope twisting moonsault for the pin. That was so much fun.

Diego Hill defeated Saint Julious at 11:37.

* Intermission was edited out.

6. Drew Hood vs. Tyler Jaxx vs. Daz Black in a three-way. I’ve seen Drew at least twice before, but I’m unfamiliar with the others. Jaxx doesn’t have a cagematch.net bio yet. Black came in to Linkin Park’s “Faint,” and the commentators said he’s a UK talent. He’s giving me young Justin Gabriel vibes. Hood came out in a horned mask and was booed. The scrawny, tattooed Jaxx came out last, and he was billed as “the Hollywood vampire.” Hood loudly jawed at his opponents — the crowd was already booing him! Quick reversals from all three to open.

Black did a standing backflip and hit a dropkick at 3:00. Jaxx hit a missile dropkick.  They brawled at ringside. Hood stopped at the commentary table to put on a headset and jaw some more. Black laid in some chops, and he brawled with Hood. Jaxx hit a flip dive off the short stage onto both of them at 7:00. In the ring, Black hit a superkick on Jaxx, then a standing corkscrew moonsault (think Starboy Charlie!) for a nearfall at 8:30. Black dove through the ropes onto Hood.

In the ring, Black hit an AJ Styles-like moonsault-into-an-inverted DDT for a nearfall on Jaxx. I’m impressed! Hood jawed at the ref on the floor. Hood hit a hard forearm strike to drop Black! Jaxx hit a top-rope double stomp on Black. However, Hood threw Jaxx to the floor and stole the pin on Black. Solid action; I was really impressed with Black. The commentators said he recently had a TNA and WWE tryout. (I checked his Twitter/X — he had a WWE tryout in May, not the recent one over SummerSlam weekend.)

Drew Hood defeated Tyler Jaxx and Daz Black in a three-way at 10:43. 

* Hood cut a quick heel promo before heading to the back.

7. “Dropafella Records” Maurice Moss and Dontay Khalifah vs. “The Allen Brothers” Steve Allen and Robert Allen in a No. 1 contender’s match for the World of Flow Tag Titles. I wasn’t clear what they meant earlier, but clearly we have a four-team tournament to crown the first-ever tag champs. Moss and Khalifah have also appeared in PWF; I don’t think I’ve heard that team name before, though. Robert Allen (think Andre Chase!) opened against Dontay. The longer-haired Steve Allen wrestles barefoot and has a large shoulder brace; he entered and hit some quick kicks.

Moss hit a backbreaker over his knee on Steve. The commentators noted the Allen Brothers were just in a six-man tag in ROH. Robert hit a hard elbow to Maurice’s back at 3:00. All four got in and brawled. The Dropafella guys continued to work over Steve. Steve hit a DDT at 6:30, and they were both down. Robert got back in and hit some punches and a backbreaker over his knee, then a Flatliner for a nearfall. Steve leapt off the stage and barreled onto his opponents. In the ring, Robert hit a springboard back elbow for a nearfall. Robert hit a Claymore Kick and scored the pin. Decent action from four guys I have only seen a few times, in most cases.

“The Allen Brothers” Steve Allen and Robert Allen defeated “Dropafella Records” Maurice Moss and Dontay Khalifah to become No. 1 contenders to the World of Flow Tag Titles at 10:08.

8. Juni Underwood vs. Manny Lo. I’m a big fan of both of these guys, and this is a first-time-ever matchup. Juni has been a road warrior the past couple of years, competing all over the country. A clean lockup to open. Juni hit a corner plancha at 3:00. In the ring, they traded chops, and Juni hit a spin kick to the head at 4:30. They tied up in a knuckle lock and traded offense. Manny hit a Northern Lights Suplex. They hit stereo crossbody blocks and were both down at 6:00, and we got a “Both these guys!” chant.

Manny hit some European Uppercuts and a spin kick to the ear, then a pop-up European Uppercut for a nearfall at 7:30. Juni hit a German Suplex and a running kick to the jaw. Juni hit a twisting suplex for a nearfall at 9:30. Manny hit an impressive swinging powerslam for a nearfall. Manny hit a superplex, but Juni held on and hit a Michinoku Driver for a believable nearfall at 12:00, and the crowd popped for the kickout. We got a “This is awesome!” chant. They got up and traded forearm strikes, and this was a great exchange. Juni hit an enzuigiri. They traded rollups until Manny got a clean pin. That was sharp.

Manny Lo defeated Juni Underwood at 14:57.

* Manny will now face Drew Hood to become the first-ever Free Flow champion.

9. Alec Price vs. AzDaCreator (w/Diego Hill). I’m certain I haven’t seen Az, as I would remember writing that name! He has a good physique and looks comparable to Anthony Bowens. They shook hands and traded quick reversals. AzDa hit a Falcon Arrow at 3:00. Price hit a huracanrana and a springboard crossbody block. Price stomped on AzDa while he jawed at Diego. He hit a hard back elbow for a nearfall at 5:30. Alec tied him in a crossface on the mat. AzDa hit a release suplex, and they were both down at 7:30.

AzDa hit a neckbreaker over his knee and a running boot for a nearfall. Price ran the ropes to pick up speed and hit a hard clothesline at 10:00. He hit a dropkick into the corner for a nearfall. They traded jumping knees, and Price nailed his Rebound Lariat, then a top-rope frog splash for a nearfall. Alec sat up, and he had a bloody lip. Price set up for a springboard move, but AzDa pushed him to the floor. In the ring, AzDa hit a Flatliner for a nearfall at 13:30. Maurice Moss came to ringside; Diego started brawling with him. Price hit a dive to the floor, then immediately hit his 720 springboard DDT for the pin. Really good action.

Alec Price defeated AzDaCreator at 15:27.

* Price got on the mic. He admitted he “walked in here, not respecting you one bit.” Price said that he was brought in “to test you.” Alec said that AzDaCreator earned his respect. They shook hands and hugged.

10. LaBron Kozone vs. James Ryan. I’ve long touted Kozone as a top-five indy prospect, so it’s great to see him getting an overdue look in MLW. I am fairly certain I hadn’t seen Ryan before that mid-show promo earlier. Ryan came out to Def Leppard, which automatically makes him a babyface, right? The commentators said it’s Ryan’s first match in a year. Standing switches to open, and they worked each other’s left arm. Kozone hit a LOUD chop at 4:00 that popped the crowd and sent Ryan recoiling to the floor!

Kozone followed and hit some more chops, with the crowd going nuts for each one! In the ring, Ryan applied a cravat and kept LaBron grounded. Ryan hit a DDT for a nearfall. Kozone hit a suplex at 8:00, and they were both down. They got up and traded punches, and Kozone dropped Ryan with a low. Kozone ran the ropes and hit a flying back elbow. They traded more chops. Ryan hit a Cody-style Disaster Kick for a nearfall at 12:00 (he didn’t push off hard enough off the ropes and barely got there).

They fought on the ropes in the corner, and Kozone nailed a top-rope gut-wrench suplex for a believable nearfall. (That really should have been it. Ryan shouldn’t have kicked out of that.) Ryan applied a crossface on the mat, but Kozone got his feet on the ropes at 14:00. They got up and traded more strikes. Ryan hit a superkick, but Kozone kipped up and hit an enzuigiri. He got a rollup for a nearfall, then the Ballgame decapitating clothesline for the pin. Good action.

LaBron Kozone defeated James Ryan at 15:32. 

Final Thoughts: A fun debut show, but I really hope they draw more than this for future events. It’s tough to break even with a crowd this small. I really liked this young, hungry roster. I think LaBron and possibly James Ryan are the only competitors here over the age of 30. Four really strong, standout matches here. I liked Diego vs. Saint Julious for first, ahead of Underwood-Manny Lo. Price-AzDaCreator takes third, just ahead of the Kozone-Ryan main event. I won’t argue with anyone who has those matches in a totally different order. I would change the lineup to feature a marquee match that would draw viewers. For instance, put Alec Price in a singles match against Diego Hill.

Not too many complaints. Moxy Monroe seemed green; I presume she’s had very few matches. She’s not bad, but clearly needs some more ring time. A long show, coming in at just over three hours. I briefly considered watching just two or three matches. I’m glad I made time to check out the whole event.
