Maybe you've been thinking “Where the fucking are my 365 recaps?!” Probably not, but maybe. Anyways, the music festival I work for and help book recently announced its lineup for this year and getting that pretty much took most of my energy and attention. I was in the building for the last couple of weeks of 365 Victoria Fridays, but I took those in just as a fan and not as a writer. But after this short break, your boy is here to relay the details of another week of 365 action. You want graps? We got 'em. You want chaos? We got it.

DJ Kash vs Josh Cadwell
It's been a minute since we've seen DJ Kash between the ropes and it's nice to have him back, coming to ring accompanied by his father, Rad Dad. Excited to see what Son Dad has in store for this one. Cadwell comes out second and as usual, is excellent at making people hate him. Kash comes flying out of the gate with a flurry of offence. A second-rope bulldog. A nice snap suplex. Springboard elbow! Over the back Famouser! Cadwell weathers the storm and scores with a greasy powerbomb. But, as he does, Cadwell lets himself get distracted by Rad Dad resulting in an unsuccessful rollup from Kash. Cadwell goes to work with some pretty vicious stomps and a brutal slingshot into the turnbuckle on Kash, who eats that shit fully with his face. Cadwell follows up with some heavy, heavy chops and a nice crisp suplex with a float over pin. Kash won't be kept down though, scoring shortly after with a lovely running knee in the corner and then a crazy flipping DDT into a guillotine-like choke. Josh escapes and starts going for the leg – the limb he previously injured on Kash. But just as things are looking real grim for Kash, he gets a rollup out of nowhere for the win. Whoa! A shocking end.

Eddie Osbourne (c) vs Zack Andrews – 365 Pro Wrestling Championship
So, if you didn't know, Eddie Osbourne took the 365 Pro Wrestling Championship from Rad Dad a couple of weeks ago in what appeared to be a heel turn. In fact, in two weeks, Osbourne has finished two matches with a low blow and given a Michinoku driver to Sadie Caines. The crew and I had much discussion about if it was an actual heel turn or just EO being a cheeky son of a gun. It doesn't help that his first two title defences have been against Damien Caines last week and Zack Andrews this week – two guys who are very good at being hated by 365 Nation. In our hearts, no one wants to cheer against Eddie, especially when he's wrestling these nasty bastards. Andrews starts this one off with an attack from behind. Wait, what's happening? I don't want to BOO a man who got attacked from behind! Osbourne doesn't take long to turn the tides and hit Andrews with a ridiculously huge jackknife powerbomb, followed up with a massive t-bone suplex. It's easy to forget how strong EO is but watching him hurl Zack, a pretty big guy, is an instant reminder. Zack hits a great running clothesline and scores with a cannonball shortly after. Zack scores with a Rocker Dropper from high up on the ropes but can't put the big guy away. Eddie hits a devastating clothesline, hoists Andrews up for one of his beastly drivers and gets the win. Osbourne seems conflicted as he stands in the ring after the win, but why? What is going on in that head?

Lak Siddartha (w. Ramone Carlton) vs Sawyer Stein
Okay, what the fuck is up with the amulet that Ramone carries around? It seems to have power over Lak, but what is the purpose? At one point during this match Ramone holds it up to make Lak stop forearming Stein in the back of the head. At another point, the amulet seems to give Lak the strength to shake off his opponent's attack and hit an F5. And at another point it seems to give Lak a headache of some kind? It's been going on a long time and none of us understand what is happening. Is there an endgame to this? Anyways, these two start with a collar and elbow tie up around the entire ring. A failed shoulder block from Stein is followed up my a much more successful diving shoulder block. Lak takes control, battering Sawyer in the corners with boots and forearm smashes. This leads to Sawyer face down on the canvas while Lak wails on the back of his head with more forearms, until the aforementioned amulet causes Lak to stop the attack? I don't know what the fuck is going on. Sawyer starts a comeback, capped with his always tremendous spinning sidewalk slam. Seriously, this shit rules every time and the crowd went fucking feral with this one. Some shenanigans outside the ring ensue and when Lak returns to the ring he his hit with a huge missile dropkick from the ropes from Stein. And then bam! Superkick from Stein. But just a two count. But then Ramone puts up the amulet and Lak gets the power to shrug all that off and hit an F5 for the win. Why didn't Ramone just start with that?

Dash Dauntless (c) vs Becky Beech – 365 Global Women's Championship
This match was pretty fucking good. People were INTO IT. There were “This is awesome” chants. But in the end Becky is still not champ and it's always just this in my heart:

Eddie came out after the match ended and destroyed Dauntless and Beech with drivers. Whoa, we hated that. Okay, the heel turn is cemented. Things are progressing. NO MORE BEER! NO MORE BEER!

Stein Time
This was fucking chaos. There's no point in trying to recap this. Thelonious is back though. That's what you gotta know. TJH is back and ready to annihilate Zack Andrews.

Kingdom James (c) vs Inferno – 365 Combat Championship
A mainstay of the Ontario wing of 365, I was excited for him to arrive in Victoria and he did not disappoint. Aura from the moment he emerged from the curtain – bandana over the bottom half of his face, black steel chair in a hand and I gotta shout out his Canada Dry-logo Kingdom James shirt. I'd buy one of those for sure. It's a pretty menacing look and presence James has which was only cemented by him being announced as from “The Centre of the Known Universe – Toronto.” Incredible stuff. James informed me via Instagram earlier in the day that he was going to “snap [Inferno] in half on the ring apron like a popsicle,” and seeing this entrance, and hearing his pre-match promo, I believed him. So naturally I was very interested to see how our beloved Inferno was going to fare. James gets upset immediately, complaining to the ref, because Inferno flipped him off. Inferno tying up with James in a collar and elbow lockup is very funny as James just tosses the much smaller Inferno, like so many bags of potatoes. Hard to truly hate a guy who knees his opponent in the gut, puts them in a headlock and proclaims “Wrestling!” But alas, we must hate this man Kingdom. Inferno takes an absolutely monstrous shoulder block, his head looking like it hit the mat hard. Shockingly, Inferno's mask offers no protection from James' fingers as he gets poked in the eye and thrown to the outside of the ring. While outside of the ring, James sets up the aforementioned black steel chair in the corner ropes and smashes Inferno into it. Why isn't this a DQ? I guess we'll never know. As they re-enter the ring James hits a big suplex, smashing Inferno into the canvas, but Inferno perseveres and starts to heat up, hitting a springboard European uppercut. Eventually, after a first failed attempt, Inferno hits his lovely Swanton Bomb for the win! New Combat Champion! The place goes insane. We are joyous that our sweet boy has gold once again!
