PAGEOT, PWTORCH CONTRIBUTOR<\/h3>\n<p><em>Commentary: Effy, Rich Bocchini<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Enjoy Wrestling is a brand-new indie promotion out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Slated to begin life in the spring of 2020 but thwarted by the COVID-19 pandemic, their first tapings ever took place in January and that footage now sees the light of day as a four-episode YouTube series called <em>Canned Heat<\/em>. The first episode premiered two weeks ago with the finale dropping next Thursday at 7:30 p.m. EST. <em>Canned Heat<\/em> covers the entirety of an eight-person tournament with competitors vying to win the first Enjoy Cup.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We opened with highlights from the four opening round matches.\u00a0 A new promo from MV Young was mixed in with Young challenging Mr. Grim to make their match tonight a PolyAm Cult Street Fight.<\/p>\n<p>-Opening theme.<\/p>\n<p>-Ring announcer Meg Fair opened the second round.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot&#8217;s Perspective:\u00a0 This episode was taped back in January but recent developments from the past week include Still Life With Apricots &amp; Pears becoming Edith Surreal and Lee Moriarty defeating Warhorse to become the new IWTV Independent Wrestling Champion.\u00a0 We&#8217;ll refer to them as such going forward.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Last week Ziggy Haim stole Surreal&#8217;s mask after their match so Surreal showed up here for the first time in her latest gear, both hair and midriff exposed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(1) EDITH SURREAL vs. IWTV INDEPENDENT WRESTLING CHAMPION LEE MORIARTY \u2013 SEMI-FINAL MATCH IN THE ENJOY CUP<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3551746539\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Side headlock take down by Surreal.\u00a0 Moriarty pushed her into the ropes and went for a drop down but Surreal dropped down and slapped the headlock back on.\u00a0 Moriarty slipped out.\u00a0 Straitjacket from Surreal.\u00a0 Chain wrestling into an Indian death lock on Moriarty.\u00a0 Back and forth exchanges ended in a stalemate.\u00a0 Slow going as we passed the five-minute mark, seemingly pacing themselves for a longer one.\u00a0 Single-leg dropkick from Moriarty for the first strike of the match.\u00a0 Chops and clothesline in the corner.\u00a0 Surreal bounced his head off the turnbuckle and hit a springboard dropkick.\u00a0 Anklelock from Surreal.\u00a0 She continued to hold on and work over the left knee.\u00a0 Into a Venus Flytrap but Moriarty managed to push her off.\u00a0 Surreal remained in control, stretching Moriarty&#8217;s leg in a muffler-type move on the mat.\u00a0 Springboard arm drag from Surreal but Moriarty cut her off with a crossbody.\u00a0 He followed with a slingshot crossbody.\u00a0 Saito suplex for a two-count on Surreal.\u00a0 He looked to stomp away at Surreal but she grabbed the leg and pulled him back to the mat.\u00a0 Moriarty hung up in the corner and Surreal hit a dropkick to the knee, wrapped around the rope.\u00a0 Moriarty hung upside down in the corner and took two dropkicks.\u00a0 Surreal back into the deathlock but he was able to roll to the rope break.\u00a0 They locked up and rolled a full lap around the ring, ending with Moriarty pinning her shoulders down.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Lee Moriarty in 13:28.<\/p>\n<p>-Moriarty spoke into the camera and said he&#8217;s the best wrestler in Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot&#8217;s Perspective: You can hardly call it an upset when the new IWTV Champion walks away victor but Surreal was undefeated in tournaments before tonight so history was made.\u00a0 A good technical match with a lot of joint work and stretches.\u00a0 It definitely felt like there was a feeling-out process at points as they got to know one another.\u00a0 This is the type of pairing that will get better and better each time they face each other so hopefully we don&#8217;t have to wait too long before we see a rematch.\u00a0 I also have to call out how fantastic Effy has been on commentary.\u00a0 He should really be doing this more frequently somewhere.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Backstage Meg Fair was with MV Young.\u00a0 They asked how he was feeling about facing Grim.\u00a0 Young said they know each other really well.\u00a0 Last time they met he stomped Grim&#8217;s face into the ground of New York.\u00a0 Now they&#8217;re in Young&#8217;s state of Pennsylvania.\u00a0 If Grim doesn&#8217;t leave the games backstage, MV is going to fuck him up.<\/p>\n<p>-Another paid advertisement aired for David Lawless, Esq.\u00a0 &#8220;Lawless is flawless&#8221; and he&#8217;s coming soon.<\/p>\n<p>-Young entered first.\u00a0 Effy acknowledged Young defeating Grim for The Wrestlers Lab Championship last August in Brooklyn.\u00a0 Before he could enter the ring Grim jumped out of the shadows, chucking a body bag onto Young, and knocked him into some seats.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(2) MR.

draped the body bag over Young and clubbed away at him.\u00a0 Grim pulled Young&#8217;s face into the ring post.\u00a0 They brawled around ringside.\u00a0 He choked Young with both hands on the floor.\u00a0 They rolled into the ring for the first time at 2:43 but Grim immediately rolled out the other side.\u00a0 Young followed him to the time keeper&#8217;s table and rang the ring bell directly in Grim&#8217;s ear.\u00a0 Grim&#8217;s equilibrium was off and Young hit a double-stomp.\u00a0 Young found some steel chairs under the ring but Grim pushed the referee into Young and used the distraction to lock in a dragon sleeper.\u00a0 Grim clubbed away at Young&#8217;s chest.\u00a0 Grim covered on the floor and the referee counted two.<\/p>\n<p>Young bit his way free and they headed into the ring.\u00a0 Young set up two chairs with the seats facing each other.\u00a0 He wanted a suplex but Grim powered out and chokeslammed Young onto the seats of the two chairs.\u00a0 Young bounced off, the chairs refusing to break.\u00a0 Grim bent Young&#8217;s wrist backwards over the leg of the chair.\u00a0 Back body drop from Grim.\u00a0 Grim trapped Young in the corner with a chair and kneed it into Young&#8217;s midsection.\u00a0 Young countered a suplex and suplexed Grim onto a flat chair.<\/p>\n<p>Young left and returned with a ladder.\u00a0 He laid it diagonal from the top turnbuckle to the mat.\u00a0 Grim back dropped Young onto the ladder, then stood on Young&#8217;s ankle on the ladder.\u00a0 Young howled in pain.\u00a0 Grim wanted a powerbomb onto the ladder.\u00a0 Young low-blowed his way free.\u00a0 Young jabbed Grim in the stomach with two chair shots.\u00a0 Penalty kicks to the spine of Grim.\u00a0 Young laid a chair across Grim&#8217;s chest and went up top but Grim threw the chair into Young&#8217;s face.\u00a0 They threw punches but Young managed to jump off and into a tornado DDT on the chair.\u00a0 Young got two but Grim kicked out.<\/p>\n<p>Grim hit a springboard forearm out of nowhere.\u00a0 Young kicked out in a good near-fall.\u00a0 Young with a dropkick off the top rope.\u00a0 Grim stumbled and fell back onto the diagonal ladder.\u00a0 Back senton from Young onto Grim on the ladder but Grim kicked out again.\u00a0 Grim rolled to the floor and looked to be leaving.\u00a0 Young went after him but Grim caught him with a chop block on the apron.\u00a0 Grim fired up and pummeled away at Young.\u00a0 He wrapped Young&#8217;s left arm backwards across the bottom rope.\u00a0 Grim found a door under the ring and set it up horizontally in the corner, balanced on the second ropes.\u00a0 The referee checked on Young.\u00a0 Young powered up Grim for a death valley driver and hit it onto the door, which didn&#8217;t break.\u00a0 With Grim laid across the door, Young went up top and hit Kill The Rich.\u00a0 To punctuate things he ran off the ropes and nailed Grim with the running knee to the back of the head.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: MV Young in 16:34.<\/p>\n<p>-Young grabbed a mic at ringside and addressed Moriarty.\u00a0 He&#8217;s been chasing Moriarty for six years and he proved tonight that he&#8217;s not just a character, he&#8217;s one of the best wrestlers in North America.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot&#8217;s Perspective: Two matches that couldn&#8217;t have been more different from one another, but both great as Enjoy looks to define their identity early.\u00a0 This was the <\/em><em>best match of the tournament so far and a testament to what I was saying before about wrestlers being familiar with each other.\u00a0 These guys know each other well and it showed here.\u00a0 Grim conveys his power masterfully.\u00a0 Even when he&#8217;s just pushing somebody&#8217;s arm across a rope it genuinely looks like it hurts like hell.\u00a0 And Young is so wholly in control of his character that even when he hits a low blow it doesn&#8217;t feel heelish or cowardly like it could with another babyface.\u00a0 He&#8217;s been probably the biggest revelation in wrestling for me personally in the past nine months and he&#8217;s my pick to win this whole tournament, even if it seems like all the momentum in the world is behind Moriarty right now.\u00a0 Next week it&#8217;s champion vs. champion in a seemingly one-match show.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Credits to close us out.<\/p>\n<p>-Next week: it&#8217;s the finals of the
