Around the World of Pro Wrestling 6/8/26: ROH, Stardom, wXw, NOAH, AJPW and Top 25.

🎙️ Rundown — ROH, Stardom, wXw, NOAH, AJPW (since June 1, 2026)

Told by Ed & Gordon.

Desk intro

Ed: “Fans, the first week of June has been a world tour of ring wars! From HonorClub to Japan to Germany, every promotion we’re looking at tonight has been swinging for the fences!”

Gordon: “Quite so. A most expansive landscape — championships defended, tournaments unfolding, and numerous athletes striving to elevate their standing.”

Ring of Honor (ROH)

Overall direction

  • Post–Supercard of Honor momentum: ROH is in the “reset and reload” phase after Supercard of Honor on May 15, with HonorClub TV tightening around champions, proving‑ground matches, and spotlight bouts.
  • Focus on Pure and Women’s divisions: Multiple Proving Ground matches are being used to set up future title defenses.

ROH on HonorClub — Episode 169 (aired June 4, 2026)

Ed: “This week’s HonorClub show was a clean, focused hour — no fluff, just wrestlers trying to climb the ladder!”

Full results, as taped May 18 in Jacksonville and aired this week:

    • Highlight: Aminata continues to be framed as a rising force in the women’s division.
  • ROH Women’s Pure Title — Proving Ground Match
    • Deonna Purrazzo (c) def. Isla Dawn
    • Highlight: Technical showcase; Purrazzo leaned on submissions and counters to keep Dawn at bay.

    • Lee Moriarty (c) def. Mance Warner
    • Highlight: Clash of styles — Moriarty’s grappling vs. Warner’s brawling — with the Pure rules structure favoring the champion.
  • ROH Women’s World Title — Proving Ground Match
    • Athena (c) def. Hyan
    • Highlight: Athena’s dominant aura remains intact; she’s still presented as the division’s final boss.

Gordon: “A most efficient broadcast — champions reinforcing their status while prospective challengers test the waters.”

ROH news & rumors

  • Athena’s reign: Still treated as the cornerstone of the women’s side; no immediate end in sight.
  • Moriarty & Purrazzo: Both Pure‑style champions are being positioned as workhorse centerpieces for HonorClub.
  • The Kingdom: Their win keeps them in the conversation for future tag title contention.

Stardom

Ed: “Over in Japan, Stardom’s been running like a high‑speed train — factions jockeying for position, titles constantly under threat, and the summer calendar filling up fast!”

Current direction

  • Post–Cinderella/Queendom season: Stardom is in its usual early‑summer phase, using We Are Stardom!! TV to recap big‑show matches and feature shorter TV bouts that keep factions and feuds warm.
  • Factions in focus: Oedo Tai, God’s Eye, Queen’s Quest, and STARS continue to be the backbone of the storytelling, with tag and trios combinations rotating heavily.
  • Title scene: World and Wonder of Stardom champions are typically protected on TV, with most defenses saved for bigger events; TV leans on tag, trios, and undercard singles.

We Are Stardom!!

Because Stardom’s weekly TV is a mix of recap and clipped matches, the exact cards vary by broadcast region and are not fully published in advance. In broad strokes:

  • Tag/trios matches featuring combinations from major factions.
  • One or two spotlight singles matches to highlight rising names or set up future title challenges.
  • Video packages recapping recent big‑show title matches and angles.

Gordon: “A most consistent presentation — emphasizing units, long‑term rivalries, and gradual elevation of emerging competitors.”

wXwNOW programming

  • Event replays from recent live shows (house‑style cards with 5–7 matches).

Pro Wrestling NOAH

Ed: “NOAH’s been throwing some serious thunder — big strikes, big stakes, and that classic green‑ring aura every time they roll out a card.”

Current direction

  • Post–major show cycle: Early June NOAH typically runs smaller tour stops while building to the next Korakuen or arena event, with NOAH the HOME / NOAH Time packaging matches and features.
  • Heavyweight scene: The GHC Heavyweight Champion is usually protected on smaller shows, working tags while challengers are teased.
  • Junior division: Fast‑paced tags and multi‑man matches keep the junior title scene hot.

NOAH Time / streaming content

Recent weekly content generally includes:

  • Multi‑man tags featuring the top units (e.g., Kongoh, Stinger, etc.).
  • One or two key singles matches per taping to inch toward future title bouts.
  • Backstage comments that set up the next tour stop or big show.

Ed: “And then you’ve got All Japan — the King’s Road spirit still alive, with heavyweights knocking lumps out of each other and the juniors trying to steal the show every chance they get!”

Current direction

  • Triple Crown picture: The champion often works tags on tour while the next challenger is established through singles wins or tournament performance.
  • World Tag & Jr. titles: Frequently defended or at least teased in undercards and semi‑mains on smaller shows.

Beanquet / streaming output

  • Show recaps from recent live events (Korakuen and regional stops).
  • Select full matches — often title bouts or key tournament matches.
  • Interview segments with champions and veterans reflecting on upcoming defenses.

The show started with a recap of Athena advancing in the Owen Hart Classic against Mina Shirakawa.

“* AEW National Championship Match: Mark Davis def. Adam Priest

* Anthony Ogogo def. Darian Bengston.

* Mance Warner threw out a challenge to Lee Moriarty for ROH Pure Championship match. A Proving Ground match was announced for next week’s show. In addition, Deonna Purrazzo will face Isla Dawn in a ROH Pure Championship Proving Ground match. Ed: “Moriarty’s wrestling like a man who’s memorized every page of the Pure Rulebook!”

* Pure Rules Match: Viva Van def. Rachael Ellering.

* Angelico def. Oro.

* Caprice Coleman sat down with Athena and congratulated her on her title reign. He asked her if it’s surprised her how long it’s gone. She said that her persona had shifted and she was tired of being a team player who was stuck doing matches on AEW Dark and Elevation, and that the shift led to her becoming the most dominant champion in not Ring of Honor or anywhere else. She said that people think of her now when they think about ROH and that people have a job because of her. She added that when the right person comes along and proves to her that they can be champion, they will deserve it.

* Maya World def. Trish Adora.

* Stori Denali def. Brooke Havok.

* ROH World Trios Championship Proving Ground Match: The Outrunners & Dalton Castle def. The Frat House.

* Ian Riccaboni interviewed The Lethal Swirl. He questioned their recent actions and Blake Christian said they were were the most creative and most exciting team in Ring of Honor, even more than The Outrunners and Dalton Castle, and were ready to prove it.

* The Lethal Swirl def. Il Cartello Grillo.”

“* ROH World Championship Match: Bandido def. Volador Jr. This match was from CMLL at Arena Mexico last week. Gordon: “A most resilient champion — Bandido continues to withstand every challenger placed before him.”

* ROH World Television Championship Match: AR Fox def. Dezmond Xavier.”

📰 ROH NEWS & RUMORS

  • Bandido expected to defend the World Title on an upcoming special.

📰 STARDOM NEWS

World champion Sayaka Kurei and challenger Suzu Suzuki engage in a heated brawl after the match: ‘You’re mocking me!’ / 5/31 Kyoto Translated from Japanese with some obvious misgendering. “In the match, Tetsu defeated Kanaya with Yokubari☆Rock. With his team winning, Suzuki grabbed Kurei’s hair, glared at her, and threw her into the ring. Then Kuri finally spurted out. She attacked Suzuki, who was commenting backstage. When he elbowed Suzuki, who was lying on her back with his emotions exposed, Suzuki was furious. He switched bodies and fought back in a mounted position. Suzuki shouted, “If you want to say something, say it!” Kurei snapped, “You make fun of me!” He retorted. But Suzuki sneered and spat out, “It’s the one who’s being mocked!” Kurei was no match either. “I’ve won the champion and have the red belt. I have no reason for you to talk nonsense!” Watching the champion, the challenger fearlessly warned, “Don’t think you’re stronger just because you wore the red belt. I’ll take this,” and left the scene. There are still 20 days left until the decisive battle, but both sides are already heating up.”

Around the World of Pro Wrestling 5/24/26: “You’re a disgrace to the profession, Tommy!”

Credit: cagematch.net,

Who: Cactus Jack

Date: 03.10.1995

Promotion: ECW

Event: Hardcore TV #128

Feud: Raven vs Tommy Dreamer

At the time, ECW was in the midst of a hardcore wrestling boom, with Dreamer and Raven at the forefront. Cactus Jack, known for his anti-hardcore persona, was positioning himself as a purist who believed the industry had been misrepresented in the media. The promo was a direct jab at Dreamer’s persona and the extreme style ECW was promoting.

Cactus Jack: “You know, I’d like to kind of apologize for my behavior. I’m embarrassed. Certainly feel a little stupid about the way I acted on the show a few weeks ago, because I get a little emotional when I talk about wrestling, because wrestling’s been my livelihood for the past 10 years, it’s enabled me to live out my childhood dream. So for me to come out on a show such as the ECW television program and bad mouth the wrestlers there, well I’m sorry. But I think in order to understand what’s going around my head and going through it, you have to understand where I came from, and what my goals were when I got into wrestling.

See, back in 1985, there was a program on 20/20 that challenged the wrestling industry, kind of portrayed it in a negative light. And Tommy, if you’re listening, try to understand that I was about the world’s biggest wrestling fan. And for me to stand in front of that television set and see people running down a business that I loved and held dear, even though I knew very little about it. To see my friends laughing at me, saying, “That’s what you want to get involved in?”

And that night I went to bed not with visions of sugar plumbs dancing through my head, but of broken bones, of battered bodies, of bloodied corpses, saying to myself, “If it’s the last thing I do, if I have to hold myself up for a human sacrifice, the world will respect professional wrestling.” Oh, and that dream came through. Yes, I’ve sacrificed myself for the past ten years and left the better part of my past lying on concrete floors, from Africa to Asia to South America to right into the middle of the ECW Arena.

And what’s it really done? Where have we really come to, lying in a hospital bed in Munich, Germany, watching my ear being thrown out into a garbage can, not being able to take it on the trip back because I don’t know the German word for formaldehyde. And having the nurse walk into my room, looking at that piece of my body that’s laying at the bottom of the garbage and saying “Das ist doch alles ein Schauspiel.”, which means “It’s all a big joke.” Excuse me, I didn’t know! Do you open up the lungs of a smoker and say, “Oh my golly, I thought smoking was supposed to be good for you.” Do you open up Terry Funk’s non-functioning liver and say, “Oh, I didn’t know four decades of heavy drinking took this kind of toll.” So if they show that much respect to a patient, what made me any different?

Because I was a wrestler, and professional wrestling will never be respected, no matter how many teeth I lose, no matter how many ears I lose, no matter how many brain cells have to die. And so it comes down to the point where it’s just not worth it. It’s not worth it, and Tommy Dreamer, you’ve gotta start looking realistically at wrestling as a way to make a living, nothing more and nothing less. And as long as it’s strictly business, well, you may as well be cuddled in the welcoming arms of World Championship Wrestling because ECW fans will be the death of you.

You see, they realized, and they were smarter than any of us, that they rule ECW wrestling, not us. What happened, Tommy? You came back from All Japan Wrestling with your trunks and your boots and said, “By golly, I’m gonna wrestle.” Did Giant Baba hand you a dozen eggs and say, “Hit these on Jumbo Tsuruta’s head?” You’re a disgrace to the profession, Tommy. You’re becoming a damn fool, and I can’t sit back there and take it, because I’ve got a moral obligation!

You see, when I survey the wasteland that is professional wrestling, Tommy, try to understand, I am but a failed experiment in human sociology. And I can accept that. But never in my sickest dreams did I imagine that there would be other people taking dives onto concrete floors, committing human suicide on my behalf, like I’m the patron saint of those sick sons of bitches. Is that all I stand for, Tommy? Is that all I stand for to sit in an arena where JT Smith lands head-first on the concrete to hear the fans chant, “You fucked up.” Well, fuck you! Who the hell do you think you are? We’re not a wrestling organization anymore, we’re the world’s damn biggest puppet show. And I’ll be damned if I’m gonna stand in the arena and let you call my match. “1, 2 ,3 jump, 1, 2, 3 jump.”

Well not me because I’m nobody’s stooge, and Tommy Dreamer, if you had a little bit of pride or a little bit of common sense, you’d realize those people don’t love you, they laugh at you. You took the worst beating this sport’s ever seen and they still laughed in your face. And I stood there with my arm around you six months ago and endorsed you saying, “He’s hardcore, he’s hardcore.” Well, for that I deserve to die a terrible, painful death, Tommy, because I feel responsible. And I go to bed at night and I’m not sure where I’m going to spend my eternity. And you, Tommy [laughs], you’re my salvation, because by delivering you to a better organization where you can be appreciated, loved, and held with just the littlest amount of respect in the Turner family, then maybe there’s a chance for me, too.

So please, Tommy, for my sake, think it over. Because a ‘yes’ to Cactus Jack would mean a great deal to me. And a ‘no’, well, I’d have to take that as you’re putting a big ‘okay’ stamp of approval on my eternal damnation! I’m counting on you, you little selfish bitch! Don’t make me hurt you, because I can. Don’t make me do it, and if I do with God as my witness, it won’t be in front of those little scumbags at the ECW Arena. It will just be me and you Tommy, and you don’t know when it’s coming and you don’t know where. So, unless you wish to damn me to the depths of hell, answer my call and say, “Okay, Cactus, you win, I’ll put on the suspenders, I’ll groom that mustache and I’ll call Uncle Eric and say, ‘Count me in.'”

Because not only would you be doing yourself a big favor, not only would you be helping your life, you’d be saving mine. You’d be saving mine. You’d be saving mine!”

Fans and critics have praised the promo for its raw emotion, storytelling, and authenticity. It humanizes Cactus Jack, showing vulnerability and trauma behind the anti-hardcore mask. Many see it as one of the most compelling promos in ECW history, blending personal history with a critique of the industry.

In short, the promo wasn’t just a feud moment — it was Cactus Jack’s way of defending his philosophy, his career, and his respect for wrestling as a profession, while simultaneously attacking the hardcore trend he felt was devaluing the sport.

I was just watching this promo. And, I was never able to convince my children of how great pro wrestling is. But, my youngest, my 12 year old, heard the passion in Cactus’s voice and came into my office from the kitchen where he was doing dishes and asked with genuine concern in his voice, he asked, “Dad… what happened to him? Is he going to be all right?” Go watch it here: https://youtu.be/LdkIsX0cdBE?si=ehd5SG3rpm748H_T

Stardom World touring pattern

  • Spring typically features unit‑based tours—Queen’s Quest, Oedo Tai, God’s Eye, STARS, and Donna del Mondo cycling through Korakuen, Osaka, and regional buildings.
  • Cards on Stardom World usually center on:
    • Artist of Stardom (trios) defenses or teases
    • Goddess (tag) and Wonder/World title build
    • Faction‑vs‑faction multi‑woman tags that set up singles challenges.

Current‑style directions

  • World & Wonder title scenes: the top two singles belts remain the axis—champions working tags and non‑title matches while challengers are built through tournament blocks or pinning them in tags.
  • Unit tension: Stardom continues to lean on betrayals, draft‑style reshuffles, and “loser leaves unit” stakes to keep factions fresh.

Ed: “Fans, Stardom’s running like a finely tuned machine—factions, titles, and just enough chaos to keep you guessing!”

  • Junior division:
    • Still one of NOAH’s calling cards—fast, intricate tags and title matches that often steal the show.
  • Cross‑promotional threads:
    • NOAH continues to be part of the broader CyberFight ecosystem, with occasional crossover teases involving DDT or TJPW talent on big shows.

Ed: “Fans, NOAH’s still hitting like a freight train—those forearms echo all the way to the cheap seats!”

Gordon: “A most physical presentation—stiff strikes, rugged pacing, and high stakes.”
