Jersey Championship Wrestling “Breakdown”
Replay available via TrillerTV+ (first hour on YouTube.com)
September 6, 2026, in Ridgefield Park, New Jersey, at The Mecca

A reminder that Ridgefield Park is directly west of New York City, and numerous promotions hold events here. A good crowd of 200 today. They put the hard camera on the stage, which makes sense to me; so many promotions point their hard camera at the stage for shows at this venue. Emil Jay and promoter Brett Lauderdale provided commentary. Alec Price joined in for two matches.

* The first hour (the first three matches) was free on YouTube; the rest of the show streamed on Triller+.

* A video package to honor “The Butcher” Andy Williams aired. Pretty awesome they pulled this together so quickly. The show opened with Emil Jay in the ring. We had the 10-bell salute and a moment of silence for him.

1. Hunter Drake vs. Daron Richardson vs. Malik Del Vonte vs. Devious Cass. My first time seeing Malik; he’s a young, Black man with hair reaching his shoulders. All four brawled at the bell. Malik hit a huracanrana. Hunter dove through the ropes, but Cass caught him and powerbombed him onto the edge of the ring frame at 2:00! Ouch! In the ring, Cass hit a powerbomb on Malik. Daron and Cass are the heels and they worked together to beat up Malik. Daron hit a running Shooting Star Press; of course, he went for a cover, but Cass was angry about that.

The heels hit a Magic Killer on Malik. Richardson pushed Cass to the floor to try and steal the pin! Hunter hit a top-rope double missile dropkick on the heels, then a standing moonsault on Daron. Malik hit a dive to the floor at 4:30. In the ring, Hunter hit a superkick on Malik. Cass and Hunter traded rollups. Cass hit a dive over the top rope; his toes touched the top rope but he still cleared it. Hunter hit a top-rope moonsault to the floor onto all three at 6:00. In the ring, Hunter hit his version of a Code Red for a nearfall. Malik hit a stunner. Daron hit a shotgun dropkick. Cass hit a superkick on Daron, then a Tombstone Piledriver for the pin!

Devious Cass defeated Hunter Drake, Daron Richardson, and Malik Del Vonte at 7:36.

2. Don Freeze and Nyiem Brooks vs. “Gametime” Vinny Talotta and Griffin McCoy. Again, Don is pretty heavyset, and he shocks and surprises the crowd by how agile and athletic he is for a man of his size. I’ve seen a lot of Talotta in singles matches lately; I think his regular “Post Game” teammate Mike Walker is injured. Niem and Vinny opened. Griffin entered and hit a spin kick to Don’s spine. Freeze hit a dropkick at 1:00 on Griffin. Brooks entered and hit a dropkick on Griffin, then a flip dive to the floor onto Griffin. The heels began working over Nyiem in their corner.

Vinny hit an impressive delayed vertical suplex, and Griffin hit a running kick on the upside-down Brooks. Freeze got a hot tag at 5:00 and hit some quick kicks on each heel. Brooks hit a springboard splash to the floor onto the heels! In the ring, McCoy hit a spin kick on Brooks. Vinny hit a spear on Freeze. In a cool spot, McCoy hit a huracanrana, but Nyiem turned it into a Lethal Injection he hit on McCoy at 7:00! Lauderdale noted the large crowd, saying it has been up “three straight shows.” McCoy hit a top-rope double stomp as Vinny was also hitting a Dominator swinging faceplant for the pin! Nice team moves here.

“Gametime” Vinny Talotta and Griffin McCoy defeated Don Freeze and Nyiem Brooks at 7:55.

Juni Underwood and Ryan O’Neill spoke backstage about their match later. Juni asked Ryan, “Can I trust you tonight?” Ryan was offended by the question. (I just watched those two fight each other on a show from Saturday night!)

3. Rocket vs. Tarzan Duran. Rocket is a young, Black man — he’s been here a few times. Duran, a 20-year ring vet, let out some wild shouts on his way to the ring. Standing switches and a feeling-out process to open. They traded some armdrags and had a standoff at 2:00. Duran hit a spin kick to the corner. Rocket hit a Blue Thunder Bomb for a nearfall at 4:00.

Duran tied him in a surfboard. They got up and traded forearm strikes. Rocket hit a springboard huracanrana at 7:00. Rocket hit a Sol Snatcher flipping stunner! He immediately hit a top-rope Spiral Tap press for a believable nearfall. Duran hit a slingshot stunner and a flipping DDT for the pin. Solid match; this was the right length.

Tarzan Duran defeated Rocket at 8:21.

* I switched over to the Triller+ feed here, as there was less than five minutes left in the free hour.

4. Alec Price vs. Dustin Waller. Waller stalled at the bell; we had an awkward edit where a minute is missing (the countdown clock jumped more than a minute!). They brawled, and Dustin hit a running Shooting Star Press. He hit a sit-out powerbomb at 2:30, and he kept Price grounded. Price hit a dropkick for a nearfall. Brett noted these two “know each other well,” having shared many a locker room. Price hit a running knee; Waller hit a superkick; Price hit a Rebound Lariat for a nearfall, and they were both down at 5:30.

Brett noted that there was a “lag” in the audio and video, but they were working to correct it. Dustin hit an impressive Falcon Arrow for a nearfall at 7:00. They got up and traded chops, then forearm strikes. Price hit a hard clothesline. Waller hit a Lethal Injection for a nearfall at 9:00, then the Mamba Splash for a nearfall. The crowd chanted, “You’re a loser!” at Waller. Dustin nailed a superkick at 11:00. They fought on the ropes in the corner. Price hit a double stomp to the chest, then a frog splash for a nearfall. Price hit a running Canadian Destroyer for the pin! Good action.

Alec Price defeated Dustin Waller at 12:44.

* They reset the cameras between matches to fix the audio timing issues.

5. Juni Underwood and Ryan O’Neill vs. “Controlled Kaos” Papa Juice and Kid Chaos. Father-and-son duo Controlled Kaos just wrestled on ROH TV on Thursday in a loss to Dark Order. Kid Chaos is slender, pale white, and bald. In a video package last month, Kid Chaos explained that he has the genetic disorder called “ectodermal dysplasia” and has a lung disease. Juni battled Papa Juice to open, then Ryan fought Kid Chaos. Alec Price joined the booth at 2:30, and he voiced his anger at O’Neill for recently siding with Joey Janela.

Controlled Kaos hit some team moves on Ryan, then stereo planchas to the floor. In the ring, Ryan hit a crossbody block on Papa Juice for a nearfall at 4:30. Juni snapped Papa Juice’s arm over his shoulder, and they kept Juice in their corner. Kid Chaos hit a tornado DDT. He hit an inverted DDT on Juni for a nearfall at 6:30. Juni hit a half-nelson Suplex. Ryan tagged in and battled Juice. Juice hit a superkick, so Ryan hit one back for a nearfall. All four got in the ring and traded forearm strikes.

They all missed kicks, and all four were down at 8:30. Controlled Kaos hit stereo knees. O’Neill hit a Swanton Bomb onto both opponents at 10:30. Juni and Juice traded rollups. Juni hit a flying side kick. Ryan tagged himself in! He went for a top-rope move, but Juice sidestepped it, rolled up O’Neill, and got the flash pin. Alec Price immediately wondered if it was wise of Ryan to tag himself in there. Brett Lauderdale tried to give Ryan the “benefit of the doubt.”

“Controlled Kaos” Papa Juice and Kid Chaos defeated Juni Underwood and Ryan O’Neill at 11:22.

6. Marcus Mathers vs. Leo Sparrow. This is a first-time-ever meeting. Leo is always the hated heel, and Marcus got a big pop as the crowd sang along to A Day To Remember. Leo got on the mic and told the director to “turn off that garbage music.” They locked up, and Mathers hit a dropkick. He hit a series of punches in the corner as the crowd counted along. They traded European Uppercuts. Leo hit a so-so Frankensteiner; it wasn’t quite what they were going for.

Sparrow hit a top-rope flying elbow for a nearfall at 2:30, and he applied a chin lock on the mat. He got some kale leaves and shoved it into Marcus’s mouth! Marcus spat it at Leo, and they traded forearm strikes. Mathers hit a flying forearm in the corner, and his mule kick to the jaw for a nearfall at 5:00. Sparrow hit a Broccoli Buster (bronco buster) and a DDT for a nearfall. He grabbed his bag of kale, but the ref grabbed it. Mathers hit his Ospreay-style heel hook kick and a swinging suplex for a nearfall at 7:30. Leo hit a jumping knee in the corner and a hard back elbow.

They traded rollups. They got up and traded forearm strikes until Sparrow took a hard blow and went down. Leo hit a Canadian Destroyer at 9:30. He hit a Lionsault mule kick to Mathers’ face! Brett was impressed by that move. Leo went for a top-rope move but Mathers side-stepped it. Leo got a rollup with a handful of tights for a nearfall at 11:00! Mathers hit a Helluva Kick, then a release German Suplex. Mathers hit a swinging faceplant, then his awesome top-rope Shooting Star Press. (He hit that in Wrestling Open last week; Brett and Emil admitted they hadn’t seen Marcus hit that before.)

Marcus Mathers defeated Leo Sparrow at 11:52.

7. Rhett Titus vs. Kylie Alexa. If you haven’t seen ROH veteran Rhett in a while, he has done some bodybuilding competitions, and he has pretty amazing body definition right now. I admittedly have never been a big fan of his in-ring work, but he looks great. Emil immediately noted Rhett’s physique. Of course, he towers over her, as Kylie is only about 5’2″. They immediately went to the mat, and he applied a top hammerlock. He offered a test of strength but he twisted her left wrist. He hit a backbreaker over his knee for a nearfall at 4:00.

(Griffin McCoy recently tossed her around, and I again wonder… what is the point here? She is so small; it’s just not believable, particularly against a guy with this body mass.) He hit a belly-to-belly suplex and a Helluva Kick in the corner, then a slingshot Falcon Arrow for a nearfall at 5:30. (The sound and picture are out of sync again. I am seeing it before I hear it. That’s acceptable.) Kylie hit a double stomp to his chest, and they were both down. She set up for a Code Red, but he escaped. She hit another double stomp.

Kylie finally hit the Code Red for a nearfall at 8:30. He held her wrist and hit some clotheslines. He placed her over a shoulder and spun her several times before slamming her and getting a nearfall; the crowd popped for the kickout. She dropped underneath him in the corner and hit a powerbomb, then her running basement dropkick in the corner for the flash pin! “He got cocky, is what he did!” Lauderdale said. “He got a little too comfortable.”

Kylie Alexa defeated Rhett Titus at 10:42.

* Alec Price, who had left the booth after that O’Neill-Juni match, returned for the main event!

8. Charles Mason vs. Jordan Oliver for the JCW World Title. Mason pretended over the weekend that he had a knee injury, as he was making fun of Oliver for suffering an ACL injury about two years ago. Mason demanded Oliver thank him for getting signed by AEW. Oliver responded with a low blow! The ref called for the bell to make this official, and Oliver immediately targeted and twisted the left leg. They fought on the floor, and Mason dropped him back-first onto the ring apron at 1:30. In the ring, they traded chops.

Mason tied Oliver’s leg in the ropes and stomped on it! Charles applied a standing Figure Four at 4:00. They went to the floor, and Mason remained in charge. He dragged Oliver on the floor! They both rolled into the ring at 7:30. Jordan raked his back! They traded loud chops. Oliver hit an Exploder Suplex at 9:00, then an Acid Kick to the sternum. He locked in a Figure Four. Mason flipped Oliver to the floor. Jordan sprayed something in Mason’s eyes! Oliver hit a faceplant for a believable nearfall. Oliver avoided the Sister Abigail. The picture froze at 11:38. YES, Triller+ lost the feed during the main event.

Charles Mason defeated Jordan Oliver via ref stoppage to retain the JCW World Title (according to live reports).

Final Thoughts: A simply unacceptable finish to the show. I get it — internet issues happen. House of Glory had issues with their first match on Friday night in Los Angeles. It is not uncommon for me to have some streaming issues on IWTV’s live shows, but they are fixed when rewatching later. I get that these things happen — but it sure is frustrating to not be able to see the final minutes of the main event. I’ll go with Price-Waller for best match, Mathers-Sparrow for second, and the main event for third… but again, I have no sense of how much I missed of that main event. I can only rate and review what I was able to see.

Just when you thought Mathers couldn’t get any better, he has perfected an awesome Shooting Star Press. So many guys go straight up and straight down — if you are old enough to recall, Billy Kidman basically landed on the turnbuckles once and quit doing the move. Mathers places his opponent in the center of the ring and gets great distance on the move.

I don’t care that Kylie won — the match was absurd. She’s so incredibly talented — so why not put her in the ring against a woman? I just can’t suspend my disbelief to the point of believing that she could last 10 minutes in the ring against Rhett, let alone beat him.

Just one new face (Malik Del Vonte) tonight, although Nyiem Brooks and Controlled Kaos are fairly new to this roster. Overall, a pretty enjoyable show, but the last two matches left a bad taste in my mouth.
