From the Front Row - 365 Pro Wrestling Recap - 09.01.2026

in

Last Friday was a wild one, with Haviko stealing the 365 title by impersonating Inferno and entering a match he wasn't supposed to be in. The Rogues, Elliot Tyler and Casey Ferreira threw away their goodwill with the fans to start down the Road of Darkness in their quest to officially hold the 365 Tag Team Championship belts – belts they stole last week! We have a 5-match card full of shenanigans to get through on this one, so let's get after it.

Another week of 365 Wrestling kicks off with the second episode of Stein Time and our host, Big Sawyer Stein, is using his show as platform for a little Wrestler's Court. Our prosecutor is none other than Thelonious Jovinius Harlequin, coming out to the ring accompanied by his two Ephialteses carrying the 5th Dimension trunk portal. Thelonious is pressing charges against the dastardly Zack Andrews for slicing up The Mittens. Zack is brought to the ring, hands bound, by the returning Princess Petunia. (For the uninitiated, Petunia is a princess in the 5th Dimension and is a sentient Mitten.) The trial doesn't last long because Zack admits his crimes with glee. The jury is the two Ephialteses, which seems kind of rigged against Andrews, and a guilty verdict is rendered very quickly. Thelonious requests Petunia to carry out the punishment but she refuses! She declares her love for Zack Andrews and frees him! Zack is now the heir to the throne of the 5th Dimension and as such he now has command of the Ephialteses, who are instructed to beat down Thelonious with haste. This is a shocking turn of events that has the crowd confused and angry.

Jae-Lynn Hill vs Becky Beech
This match whipped ass. Super fun back and forth between those two. Beech hit a big powerslam, followed by a pretty fantastic running meteroa. Hill kicks out of a three count and gets up to murderize Beech with a heavy clothesline, then battering her with a fury of mounted punches. Hill has a Bob Holly-esque dropick, which is to say a fucking beautiful dropkick. Then Hill hit a fantastic DDT and a lovely crossface that Beech powered through to get a rope break. Crowd support for Becky remains at an all-time high. 365 Nation loves Becky Beech. Beech's short-arm clotheslines hit hard and she laid Hill out with a couple. Then followed them up with a huge pump-handle slam. Match ends after Beech hit a huge X-Factor on Hill. (I should really find out if Becky has a name for her version of this move.) Big win for Becky Beech. Dash Dauntless and the 365 Women's Title feels like it's right in front of Beech now...

From the Front Row - 365 Pro Wrestling Recap - 02.01.2026

in

This past Friday night (January 2), the Victoria chapter of 365 Nation convened at the First Met United Hall for the dawning of a new era. An era filled with WEEKLY WRESTLING as 365 Pro Wrestling started their ambitious schedule of weekly shows in 2026. As going to 365 is one of the few things keeping me sane in an ever-crumbling world and is, quite frankly, one of my favourite things to write about, I figured a weekly recap might be useful, at least for myself and hopefully for some others. These will be quick notes with jokes, casually and quickly thrown down. I'm not a machine and can't get to every single show (I DO have a life, contrary to what it seems like sometimes), so maybe we'll have a guest recapper here and there. Anyways, this exciting new era of 365 Pro Wrestling kicked off with Holiday Hangover, a 6-match card with three title matches. Let's find out what happened!

1. Rad Dad (c) vs Haviko – 365 Global Championship
Haviko is out first. Late last year Haviko traded in all his long built-up good will with the fans and turned heel after he turned his back on fan-favourite Inferno. He's more hated as a heel than he was loved as a face – and he was reeeaalllly loved as a face. Incredible work. Rad Dad has been holding both of the big 365 belts for so long it would feel strange to have him not come out with both belts. That's a lot of gold. The two hit hard, trading back and forth. Haviko hit a fucking brutal ushigoroshi on Rad Dad that only got a two count. Haviko looked like he was going to take control with some dastardy cheating but wait! A wild Inferno appears! He thwarts Haviko's cheating. Haviko ends up on his back prone, and wham! One of the most beautiful moonsaults I've ever seen Rad Dad throw gets him the win. Rad Dad retains! We are happy.

The Trash Gentlemen List - Vol. 2 - Best of 2025

in

After the success of The Trash Gentlemen List Vol 1, we are back with more music to share! With 2025 wrapping up, we thought it would be appropriate to share some of our top picks for the year. You’d think that this would be a straightforward process, yet mere moments into our song sharing session; we found ourselves making changes to the list. These changes were mostly in the form of additions, seeing as this playlist is 20 tracks long. Some tracks were just too good to pass up, and even then, we still had to shortlist to its current form. The whole process was more difficult than expected, but it was nothing that your trusty playlist curators couldn’t handle. We hope you maybe find a new favourite you missed this year or maybe you see some of the same things from your list and you can think “Fuck yeah, I know I have good taste because the Trash Gentlemen stamped this one.”

Father
Jim Legxacy – black british music

Since focusing on more UK-based music, Jim Legxacy has also been popping up more than once. This genre-bending artist dropped black british music and the reception has been great. “Father,” one of the singles for the album, stands out as a front runner. With an afrobeat feel in the beat, Legxacy comes through with some strong verse timing, while keeping the verse contents quite basic. When it comes to music you can groove to, the UK’s Jim Legxacy is smart addition to any playlist. It was also great to see that he sold-out his small North American tour. Hopefully we’ll see a larger tour come our way next year?

5 Questions with Rags #92 - Liiza Hall or "Feeling like I run this whole block...Tryna scratch my way to the top"

in

On November 15, 365 Pro Wrestling held the inaugural Queen of the Island Tournament in Victoria. It was a landmark evening, featuring 11 women's wrestlers – including the 8 that made up the tournament bracket. When that bracket originally dropped, consensus among the 365 faithful (at least the ones I talk to!) all chose Liiza Hall as the winner. It seemed obvious to us. So, you can imagine our surprise when she lost in first round, albeit after a genuinely incredible match, to relatively unknown Cherry Blossom. Hall came out to cheers, but as the match progressed, we could see the terrifying bully Liiza, the one that it's cemented in all of our heads as a KILLER, come out more and more. When Blossom got the 1-2-3 and the victory, the jammed-packed crowd erupted in joy at the surprise triumph. Cherry Blossom established herself as someone not to fuck with, because everyone who regularly attends 365, and really any indie wrestling company in the PNW, knows that Liiza Hall is not someone to be fucked with. So bright is her star and strong is her ability in the ring, that getting a win over her is a huge step for anyone coming up in the scene.

Hall has been at the forefront of a quiet revolution of women's wrestling on the Canadian west coast. It's a scene that is genuinely on fire and growing at a rapid pace, with tournaments like the 365's Queen of the Island and BOOM! Pro Wrestling's Coco Harriet Invitational putting the spotlight where it belongs. It's a big change from when Hall first stepped into the scene herself. “It's really nice to see how much it's grown in the last 10 years. When I first started wrestling there was probably the same three or four ladies all the time,” reflects Hall, taking valuable time away from her new kitten, Frankie, to talk on an idle Thursday afternoon. “Now I get to wrestle the new trainees from Lion's Gate. I get to wrestle a bunch of people from Portland and Washington. Even here, we have, it might sound like a small number, but even having five or six women who are consistently wrestling in one area is a big deal. It's nice to see more women trying to get into the sport. I love it.”

5 Questions with Rags #91 - The Flamin' Aces (Zaye Perez & Spencer Scott) or "Blow out your candles, make a wish, What's a life if you never take a risk?"

in

In less than five years of existence, The Flamin' Aces – “Playboy” Zaye Perez and “Hot Shot” Spencer Scott – have set the PNW tag team wrestling scene on fire, establishing themselves as one of the most sought after pairings the region has to offer. In a tag team scene that is jam-packed with talent and charisma, setting yourself apart isn't an easy task, but it's something The Flamin' Aces have accomplished in town after town. I was in the building when they debuted for 365 in Victoria – a city with a crowd with little knowledge of indie wrestling outside of their home promotion(s). When Perez and Scott came out from behind the curtain, it took the 365 crowd about a half-trip around the ring to turn into absolute lunatics for the Flamin' Aces. Cheers, claps, shrieks; the Aces brought it out of us before they even stepped into the ring. Once they got between the ropes, The Flamin' Aces backed up the hype, flipping and diving around the ring like maniacs, while also beautifully executing non-flipping wrestling maneuvers (important!). Their in-ring heroics and magnetic personalities have made Perez and Scott favourites on the Canadian west coast, an area that has embraced them and welcomed them from day one. The duo has been frequent guests here on the Canadian west coast working in all of the dopest promotions including 365, BOOM! Invoke, NEW and Wrestlecore.

Earlier this year, Rags Music caught up with Zaye and Scott before their summer trip to Vancouver where they won, and probably broke, hearts at Invoke and Pride Style's “To Love and Lariat.” In all fairness, we did catch up for a piece for Invoke Pro Wrestling – which is still forthcoming, so keep your eyes peeled for the deep wrestling nerd stuff with that one – but we couldn't pass up the opportunity to get one of our favourite tag teams to answer the 5 Questions. Thankfully, they were game for questions about first albums (however embarrassing), mentors and having a good cry. So, dive in and get to know some things about your new favourite tag team, the Flamin' Aces.
