Glory Pro Wrestling “Ascend” Episodes 89 & 90 — Results, Highlights & Thoughts


These episodes were taped on September 21, 2025, in St. Louis, Missouri, at a warehouse/industrial space (2nd Shift Brewery). The taping looked outdoors, in what appeared to be a parking-lot setup. The crowd ran about 150 people. There was no commentary, and the production was minimal.


Episode 89

  1. Ethan Price vs. Shimbashi

    • Price launched with power moves (back-body drop, bodyslam).

    • Shimbashi fired back with a dropkick, German suplexes, and a Burning Hammer for a near fall.

    • Price eventually landed a Death Valley Driver for the win.

    • Final time: ~9:07.

    • Verdict: solid match with a clean finish.

  2. Devin O’Neal & Steven O’Neal vs. “The Revolution” (Quest Parker & Anthony Lopez)

    • The O’Neal brothers (younger Devin and older Steven) struggled against the more polished Revolution team.

    • The Revolution used double moves and team drops to control much of the match.

    • Quest Parker got the hot tag and helped seal the win after a top-rope double stomp & flatliner combination.

    • Verdict: Young wrestlers showing effort, but not yet there.

  3. Sierra vs. Tootie Lynn

    • Sierra started strong, flexing and gaining early control.

    • Tootie fought back with kicks, near falls, and a running knee.

    • Sierra missed a Swanton Bomb, and Tootie capitalized briefly, but Sierra reversed momentum.

    • Sierra hit a “Turbo Backpack” (stunner variant) for a surprise clean pin.

    • Match time: ~4:48.

    • Verdict: fast, competitive, and a solid surprise finish.


Episode 90

  1. Philly Collins (with Marino Tenaglia) vs. Jake Bosche

    • The two brawled into the parking lot early on.

    • Back in the ring, Bosche hit chops, a moonsault to the floor, and had some momentum.

    • Marino distracted the referee, Collins used a low blow and a uranage for a cheap pin.

    • Time: ~7:55.

    • Verdict: entertaining, though the finish was underhanded.

  2. Kody Lane vs. Marino Tenaglia (for the Crown of Glory Title)

    • This was the featured main event of the taping.

    • It began with outside brawling and early offense from Tenaglia.

    • He hit a dropkick, twisting neckbreaker, and a second-rope Flatliner for near falls.

    • Tenaglia grabbed the title illegally, and the ref was accidentally knocked.

    • The interference from Philly Collins and a team Flatliner looked like it might change everything, but a ring intrusion by Jake Bosche disrupted things.

    • Lane capitalized with a Lionsault then a Frog Splash and got the pin to retain.

    • Time: ~8:54.

    • Notes: The ropes were extremely loose, and Lane slipped during springboard attempts. Despite the equipment issues, the match delivered.


Final Impressions

  • Outdoor/parking lot shows tend to produce shorter matches and more emphasis on spectacle than technical storytelling.

  • The technical level varied — some matches were clearly developmental, especially the O’Neal brothers’ bout.

  • Lane vs. Tenaglia worked well despite rough in-ring conditions. Lane’s retention and how interference was handled kept tension high.

  • The Sierra vs. Tootie match was a highlight in its brevity and unpredictability.

  • A downside: no commentary, minimal graphics — the presentation was very raw.

  • One concerning note: reports suggest that Jake Bosche, who wrestled Collins, may have suffered a serious injury shortly after this taping, possibly even one that could end his career.
