TV Review – CCW Alive Episode 94

Coastal Championship Wrestling “Alive” Episode 94 debuted Tuesday on YouTube. This episode’s matches were pre-taped at Bash at the Brew 17 from the Unbranded Brewing Company in Hialeah, Florida on June 4, 2022. Here is what happened:

MATCH #1
RICKY MARTINEZ & METO VS. ALLAN MARTINEZ & RICO DE LA VEGA

Ricky Martinez and Meto used quick tags to maintain control of this match from the moment we picked it up in progress. Martinez hit an ensiguri from the apron, converted a cazadora into a roll up, then hit a reverse neck breaker before tagging out. Meto took over and used some mat wrestling before bringing Martinez back in for a back suplex/codebreaker combo move on Allan Martinez.

Soon, Allan Martinez managed to come off the ropes with an ensiguri and stunned Ricky Martinez long enough to get a rally going. Allan hit a basement running forearm to keep Ricky down, then slapped Meto in his own corner. Meto tried to come in, but only ended up distracting the referee as Allan and Rico double teamed Ricky Martinez in the opposite corner.

Now in firm control, Allan Martinez stood on Ricky Martinez’ back as his neck laid across the ropes, then quickly used a snap mare to set up a basement drop kick and an ankle lock. Ricky Martinez managed to escape the submission hold and tagged Meto who used clotheslines to clear Allan and Rico. When Meto tried to finish off Rico de la Vega with a spear, however, Allan Martinez ran in with the title belt and hit Meto, causing the disqualification.

WINNERS BY DQ: RICKY MARTINEZ & METO

MATCH # 2
JESSIE ELABAN VS. MILA MOORE

Former NXT stars Jesse Elaban and Mila Moore met in the center of the ring for a handshake before this match got underway. Elaban, who just finished telling the crowd she wanted a “sportsman-like match” faked on the handshake and shoved Mila Moore in the face instead. Moore grabbed a side headlock, then reversed a hip toss attempt into two arm drags and a nasty boot to Elaban’s face in the corner.

Elaban regained her composure after the early flurry by Moore, evaded a charging Moore, snapped her leg across the top rope, then slammed the same leg into the apron. Elaban took her time working the leg of Moore over the next few minutes. Every so often, Elaban would turn her attention from hurting Moore to taunting the crowd with her success.

Ultimately, Elaban’s failure to put her opponent away came back to hurt her. Jessie let go of a single leg crab and snapped the leg across the ropes one more time, but did not immediately go for the pin. When Elaban tried a figure four, Moore escaped and kicked Elaban out of the ring. As soon as Jessie re-entered, Moore limped across the ring and hit Elaban with two clotheslines, reverse neck breaker, monkey flip and a leg drop, but could not manage to get the pinfall.

Both women made it to their feet at the same time and each grabbed a handful of the other’s hair. As the referee tried to get in between them to end the hair pulling, Elaban poked Moore in the eye, followed that up with the Joy Ride, and got went home victorious.

WINNER: JESSIE ELABAN
