I know that there are no guaranteed of 365 shows. You get a Front Row ticket or general admission ticket and it’s first come, first serve for seats. There are very few people who come and sit in the front row for every single Victoria show 365 throws, but the Front Row Crew does. At any given Victoria show, there is a group of crew members who will be there, cheering and buying things (Beer, shirts, 50/50 tickets). We’re almost always the first ones in the door, to get the SAME SEATS WE SIT IN EVERY SINGLE SHOW. So we were a tad rattled when we were once again the first people through the doors only to find that seats had been blocked off the middle of the row we call our wrestling home. Like, we still had seats and it was all fine in the end, but we weren’t able to sit together and it started our night on a pretty sour note. And while we got some good wrestling, the overall show was one of the most lacking 365 shows I’ve ever been witness to. It was a show where mic-time was equal to in-ring time. This one was NOT one for the sickos, as we say.

Katlin Smith vs Eddie Osbourne (c) – 365 Pro Wrestling Championship
Eddie comes out to a chorus of boos and “No More Beer” chants, fully embracing his heelness now. Katlin, a beloved member of the 365 family, came out fired up for this one. Before the bell rang Eddie once again pointed to the audience to pre-emptively blame us for the violence he was about to inflict. And inflict violence Eddie did. Osbourne hit Smith with deadlift jackknife powerbomb that hurt me watching it. Then he hit Smith with some chops that echoed through the halls of Valhalla. Katlin fought hard and got more offence in on the big man that anticipated, including a fucking lovely top rope clothesline. But in the end, Osbourne was just too overwhelming, finishing off Smith with his driver. Luckily for Smith, Eddie wasn’t in the mood to do that thing he does when he continues delivering drivers after the match ends.

The next note I have in my phone is “This show has been going for 38 minutes and we’ve had one match.” That match, EO vs Katlin, was approx 5-7 minutes. Everything else has been milling about and talking. I also have a hard time hearing most of what’s said on the mic (because my hearing sucks shit).

Zack Andrews vs Mason Crowley
This is the first time I’ve seen Mason Crowley wrestle (I have seen him referee before) and his first time in 365. I gotta say, he fucking rocks, even if he does high-five too hard. Zack comes out to a chorus of boos – boos he has worked hard to cultivate. Andrews and Crowley start feeling each other out with lock-ups and headlocks. Crowley picks up steam with a huge suplex that crashed Andrews hard into the mat and a big slingshot plancha onto Andrews outside the ring. Zack ends the flurry from Crowley with a great big boot to the face. Zack slows things down with punches, stomps. Andrews threw Crowley into the corner and hit an unreasonably hard splash on him. Upon going for a second splash, Crowley gets his foot up and smashes Andrews in the face. Then we get a massive pump-handle slam from Crowley to Andrews. Genuinely impressive stuff. Then Crowley lays Andrews down with a ginormous running white noise for a 2-count. Zack gets a rake of the eyes, followed by an incredibly stiff looking fisherman suplex. Then he ends Crowley’s 365 debut with a Claymore. (I think that’s what it was!) An excellent win against a tough new competitor for Big Zack. Welcome to 365, Crowley.

We have had two matches – one of which was essentially a (highly entertaining) squash match – and we’re at intermission, an hour into the show.

Lak Siddartha & Damien Caines (w Sadie Caines) vs Eddie Osbourne & Haviko
Lak is out here without Ramone and he's laughing, smiling, cracking jokes, making friends. He was downright jovial. What the hell is going on? My friend commented that "The amulet stops him from socializing." Is Ramone using the amulet to isolate Lak from society?! Is it a dehumanizing force? The Amulet Mystery thickens. I honestly don't remember how we got here, due to a combination of bad ears and not actually listening, but we're here and we’re having a tag match. And in February 2026, because the world is bonkers, this means we have FACE Lak Siddartha & Damien Caines against HEEL Eddie Osbourne & Haviko. This is already insane. Eddie and Haviko start out in control with quick tags and crisp, hard offence. It's not long before all four men are in the ring, with Damien and Lak whipping Haviko and Eddie into opposite corners and doing running corner smashes into their opponent on a loop. Lak's repeated turnbuckle smashes always get the crowd going and he was fucking determined tonight, showing off that cardio as he ran between corners for what seemed like 60 straight seconds. Damien did not continue his corner smashes through the whole time, clearly not wanting to be running like that, and honestly bro, same. Relatable. But soon the heels are back in control and holy moly, watching Eddie slam and throw Caines around is always so impressive. Haviko comes back into the ring with a lovely running knee to a prone Caines on the bottom turnbuckle. Haviko keeps control with lots of strong arm-based violence before missing on a standing Bronco Buster that Caines dodged. Lak came back in with the hot tag and wrecked house, laying Eddie out with four clotheslines and then catching Haviko mid-air on a crossbody attempt. Lak and Damien start arguing though and the disagreement quickly came to blows before Lak walked out on Caines. Sadie Caines jumped into the ring to protect Damien, slapping Haviko but getting a driver from Eddie for her troubles. Jesus, it always looks so brutal. As Eddie was sitting in centre of the ring admiring his work, Damien kicked him right in the dome but immediately took a Killswitch (UNPRETTIER) from Haviko and ate the 1-2-3. Win for the bad guys. This was a really fun match. I liked it!

Sawyer Stein (c) vs Devon Shooter - 365 Combat Champion
I didn't watch this match because, while I love my guy Sawyer, I don't find any joy in watching Devon Shooter wrestle any more. And it sucks because I used to LOVE watching Devon Shooter matches. These days, I usually just get up and leave the front row for his entrance, then sit back down and look at my phone if he has a match on the card. But this was the main event, so it was easy to just go home. Look, I don't need all the people who do fake fighting to have the same politics as me. In fact, I know a good deal of them don't. (Or maybe they just don't even think about it. Whatever!) But I have lines for myself and those other wrestlers don't have their shit politics as publicly in-everyones-face in the same way. Even though I'm not on Facebook or Threads or whatever, I've had enough people share screenshots of Shooter's opinions with me that I'm good on watching him wrestle. And him not being around for awhile has honestly been real nice. All the homies agree. This is a very pro-MAGA, Poilievre-loving dude. A guy who tries to make fun of people for getting vaccinated. He's so into it that in another company he wrestles with another huge MAGA guy under the team name "The 51st State." (We can have a talk about wrestling gimmicks and getting heat and the boundaries of taste, but with the way the US has been since Trump 2 started, I won't entertain any of this shit. This is a conversation for another time.) Luckily he doesn't bring that MAGA, 51st State bullshit to 365 when he's around because it would immediately alienate a huge chunk of the regular 365 community at these shows. I like all kinds of art made by people I disagree with. I am by no means a purist about this kind of thing, but this one is just different for me. I will be disappointed every time I see him at a wrestling show.

Anyways, this is all to say I didn't watch this match and that's why. My friend told me that Zack Andrews came out to attack and caused a No Decision. So Zack and Sawyer are gonna have a fight for the Combat Championship next. I look forward to that one!
