It was a night of chaos at Minglewood Hall Sunday, March 2nd, as the future of 901 Wrestling may be in the balance at Hyped Up ‘25!
Dorian Vain vs The Shadow
Dorian Vain’s dominance in the ring continued, as he picked up his second singles victory in 901 Wrestling. Though The Shadow did try to fire back, the pure talent of Vain was too much to overcome.
After the match, Dorian called out his upcoming opponent for Hyped Up, former Wildcard Rumble winner and a former champion in DJ Fury! DJ will make his Minglewood Hall debut against an opponent looking to quickly rise through the rankings!

Brandon White vs Walker XIII
It was a rematch from the Black Lodge era, but the result ended up similar. The Flatliner put a monstrous beating on the Memphis Made Monster, but Walker was able to find the victory off the Dead Man’s Party!
After the match, The Merc Chris Evans attacked Walker XIII…. but it wasn’t enough to keep the big man down, and Evans made a strategic retreat for the moment. However, there will be no escape for Merc at Hyped Up April 13th when he has to face Walker XIII for the 1819 Championship… and there will be NO DISQUALIFICATION!
Prince Adonis update
Prince Adonis gave an update to the relief of 901 Wrestling fans, saying that, though doctors were being cautious, he was ready to perform for them, and go after a championship in the near future. However, after the intermission, Brandon attacked Adonis with the now-infamous chain, punching him in the back of the head and neck. While Adonis refused help to the back, he did appear wobbly while heading backstage.
We can now confirm Adonis has been cleared, despite the attack, and has demanded, and been granted, a match against Brandon White at Hyped Up ‘25 April 13th!
The Gentlemen’s Club vs Grappler/Crossbones
While technically tag team action, it seemed very clear the dangerous duo of Norman Meklakov and Roscoe Monroe were targeting fan favorite The Grappler, though Crossbones did not leave unscathed.
We can confirm that The Grappler will be out of action for a couple of months, as he suffered back sprains from the assault. The question for The Gentlemen’s Club remains… who’s next?
901 Wrestling Tag Team Championship: Ford/LeMasters vs Top Shottaz
Bobby Ford and Tyler LeMasters made enough noise to turn what was scheduled as a exhibition match into having the titles on the line. While Top Shottaz have been having problems getting on the same page recently, this match was not an exception. Despite the struggles, it only took one miscue from challengers to open up the opportunity for the champions to retain, and continue a reign that started at last year’s Hyped Up event.
Ken Dang vs Ron Justice
Ron has not had an easy start to his 901 Wrestling career. First facing Vain at New Year’s Bang ‘25, Justice next had the red-white-and-blue hot Ken Dang to contend with. Justice put up fight, but Dang continued his winning ways. However, Justice seems to have received the respect of The All American, who raised his hand in admiration after the match was over. While Justice’s night was over, Ken Dang had his eye on other things.
901 Wrestling Championship: Shane Shoffner w/ Tyler LeMasters vs Kevin Bless
Even with LeMasters constant interference, and every dirty trick he could muster, Shane Shoffner had a hard time putting champion Kevin Bless away and reclaim the championship he feels was stolen. Bless was in trouble, as Shoffner had the crossface locked in. However, seeing LeMasters’ constant interference, Ken Dang triumphantly returned and beat LeMasters to the back, distracting the referee and causing them to miss Bless tapping out! What the referee did see was a quick roll up from Bless on Shoffner to escape as champion, and leave Shane once again frustrated.
Before Shane could take any revenge, Ken Dang entered the ring to fend off any more attacks, and help celebrate with his friend, and still 901 Wrestling Champion, Kevin Bless!
With a loaded contender list, Kevin Bless finds himself with one of his biggest challenges yet. Shane Shoffner and Bobby Ford have been on the same page in recent months, but there can only be one champion. Can they work together to neutralize the champion first, or will Bless once again carry the city to victory?
