House Show 013 - Greenland (06192025)

 

June 19, 2025 - Greenland

 By Dave "The Brute" Kent, Ace Wrestling Reporter

NPCW House Show 013 - Greenland roared out of the frozen north like a moose on a sugar rush. NPCW fans packed the card with grudge matches, team wars, and main-event madness—where hot tempers flared, alliances frayed, and the managers? They stirred the pot like their paychecks depended on it. From submissions that came out of nowhere, to tag-team tactics that bordered on criminal, this night proved one thing: in the world of NPCW, chaos is king, and everyone’s chasing the crown.

Match 1: Furiosa Ardilla Vs Malice

If you came for technical excellence, high-impact brutality, and a ringside distraction that could drive even the most patient wrestler to madness—you got exactly that in Furiosa Ardilla vs. Malice. Malice came in looking to dominate, but between Furiosa’s resilience and The Mad Hatter’s antics, frustration boiled over in spectacular fashion.

Match Recap:

From the opening bell, Furiosa Ardilla wasted no time hitting a Backstabber, but Malice fired back with a Fallaway Slam, making it clear that she wouldn’t be steamrolled. The first few minutes were a seesaw battle, with both competitors matching each other strike for strike—Jumping Cutters from Furiosa, Cloverleafs and Powerbombs from Malice.

Then things got messy. Mad Hatter, living up to his name, started pulling out every distraction in the book—hot tea attacks, bizarre poetry readings, and even forcing Furiosa to chase him around the ring. Malice, visibly frustrated, lost crucial momentum dealing with her own manager's interference.

Furiosa endured everything, striking back with a Hurricanrana Driver and an Axe Kick, but Malice wasn’t going down easy. Even as The Mad Hatter turned the referee’s attention away, Malice landed a Apron Somersault Plancha that nearly ended things. Furiosa barely made it back into the ring at the count of 7.

In the final moments, Furiosa locked in the Dragon Sleeper Stretch, and Malice—completely drained—had no choice but to tap out.

Kent’s Brutally Honest Take:

Great action, strong pacing, but not without its flaws. Malice showed dominance when she wasn’t distracted, but her inability to manage her manager cost her big. Furiosa? Tough, precise, and opportunistic. The match could have been even better without The Mad Hatter’s antics throwing it off balance.

Kent’s Advice? Malice needs to drop the dead weight, or she’ll be tapping out in frustration more than in submission holds.

Rating: 3.5/5 

Match 2: The Howlers Vs Paul Bunyan and Jolly Green

The absence of the Wolf Pack members at ringside raised more questions than answers, but the Howlers didn’t seem to care. They entered this bout ready to prove their dominance. Against the powerhouse duo of Paul Bunyan and Jolly Green, could their relentless double-teaming tactics be enough?

Match Recap:

From the outset, this one had power moves written all over it. Howler #1 started strong with a Powerbomb, but Jolly Green quickly responded with a Cradle Slam. That set the tone: brute force against sheer numbers.

The Howlers knew they had to neutralize Jolly Green early. Double-team sequences played a major role in the match, with both Howlers executing Snap Scoop Slams, Samoan Drops, and their patented Howler Drops, taking turns dismantling their towering opponent. Jolly Green fought back with crushing Belly-to-Belly Suplexes and Powerbombs, sending the Howlers reeling.

By the 6th minute, Jolly Green looked exhausted from the constant double-teaming, absorbing brutal attacks while trying to tag in Paul Bunyan. But Bunyan never made it in—whether it was strategy or miscommunication, Jolly Green had to fend for himself.

The final stretch saw Howler #2 deliver a devastating Howler Drop, softening up Jolly Green before Howler #1 finished it with another Howler Drop for the pin.

Kent’s Brutally Honest Take:

Hard-hitting, chaotic, and undeniably effective. The Howlers executed their game plan flawlessly, and their absent teammates didn’t hurt their chances at all. Meanwhile, Jolly Green fought valiantly, but where was Bunyan in all this? When the match slipped away, he was nowhere to be found—if this team wants another shot, they need to work together, not leave one man to the wolves.

Kent’s Advice? The Wolf Pack doesn’t need numbers—it just needs a ruthless game plan. Jolly Green? Get a tag partner who actually tags in.

Rating: 3/5 

Match 3: Regina Vs Scarlett Howl

This one barely had time to get started before it ended—Scarlett Howl wasn't wasting time, and Regina never had a chance to recover. With Mad Hatter causing more distractions than support, Regina walked straight into a nightmare.

Match Recap:

Regina opened with a Diving Splash, looking to assert dominance early, but Scarlett Howl was more than ready. She reversed the attack flawlessly and wasted no time locking in the Wolf's Snare (STF).

The stunned Regina tried to resist, but it was locked in too deep, too tight—her only options were tap or suffer. With no interference from Mad Hatter (who, let’s be honest, probably wasn’t paying attention), Regina submitted in under a minute.

Kent’s Brutally Honest Take:

This was embarrassing for Regina. She's supposed to be the "Evil Queen," but there was nothing regal about tapping out in under a minute. If she wants to keep her crown, she needs to get her act together and drop Mad Hatter before he drags her further into irrelevance. Scarlett Howl, on the other hand? Perfect execution. No wasted time. No nonsense. She didn’t just win—she humiliated Regina.

Kent’s Advice? Queens should be feared, not pitiful. Regina better rethink her strategy, because right now, she’s ruling over a kingdom of disaster.

Rating: 2/5 

Match 4: Yukon Trappers Vs Rapido Rojo and Peter Cottontail

When wilderness brawn met sugar-fueled speed, the result was a back-and-forth clash that somehow managed to be both rugged and frenetic. This wasn’t just another tag match—it was an endurance test, with both teams digging deep into their arsenals. The crowd roared, the canvas shook, and the prey finally outlasted the Trappers.

Match Recap:

The Yukon Trappers came in swinging, but Rapido Rojo and Peter Cottontail weren’t backing down an inch. The opening minutes were a flurry of Crossbodies, Judo Chops, Shoulder Breakers, and Top Wristlocks, as Josh Trapper bore the brunt of both his opponents and most of the match time.

Rapido and Peter’s teamwork was clinical, with wave after wave of double-team offense—Dropkicks, Faceslams, Sleepers, and Arm Drags—pushing the Trappers to their limit. But Yukon Trapper Josh and Lou refused to go quietly. Their comebacks, loaded with Back Breakers, Elbow Drops, and the punishing Lumberjack Crab, nearly stole the show.

Momentum surged like a tug-of-war. Pin attempts were frequent and often interrupted, and neither team ever stayed in control for long. The turning point came late, though—Peter landed a perfect Flying Crossbody in the 19th minute, nearly ending it before Lou broke the count.

From that moment, the writing was on the wall. In the 24th minute, Peter Cottontail leapt one last time, his Judo Chop finding its mark, and finally scored the decisive three-count over Trapper Josh.

Kent’s Brutally Honest Take:

This was a grind. A good, old-school, hard-hitting, tag-team war. But let’s call it what it was—Trapper Josh was a one-man show for most of this match, and that’s not a compliment. While Lou came in for key spots, the imbalance in ring time gassed out the Trappers, giving Rapido and Peter the space to close.

Peter Cottontail has quietly become one of the most consistent closers in the game—high-energy, no wasted motion, and ice in his veins. Rapido’s explosiveness balances it out perfectly.

Kent’s Advice? Josh needs to have a long, honest talk with Lou about tag strategy. Carrying the match solo isn’t noble. It’s foolish. And it’s why they lost.

Rating: 4/5 

Main Event: Nutcracker Captain Vs Frosty

The main event was shaping up to be a crisp winter brawl between two seasoned ring warriors—but instead, it melted into chaos. Nutcracker Captain brought intensity, but once again, the meddling of the Nutcracker General proved to be his undoing. Frosty didn’t just win—he left with the moral high ground and the crowd behind him.

Match Recap:

Things started off hot for a cold-themed showdown. Nutcracker Captain launched with a Death From Above, but Frosty weathered the storm and countered with Frosty Flips and the Snowdrift Splash, keeping his momentum chilly and consistent. The pace was brisk, with both competitors trading Piledrivers, DDTs, and stiff punches, each trying to grab the edge.

But the X-factor wasn’t in the ring—it was at ringside. The Nutcracker General once again injected himself into the action, attempting to distract the referee multiple times, only for Frosty to coolly reverse the situation and hit back harder.

By minute seven, Nutcracker General shoved the referee—a cardinal sin in any promotion—and Honest Abe had no choice but to call the match off. Frosty dropped the hammer (or should we say the Blizzard Buster) and walked away with the W.

Kent’s Brutally Honest Take:

Let’s be blunt: the match had potential. It had action. It had drama. But it was hijacked by a manager who doesn’t know when to shut up or sit down. Nutcracker Captain was holding his own. In fact, he was edging ahead until General Clown Show blew it with a flagrant shove on the referee.

You don’t steal the spotlight from your own guy in the main event. That’s not strategy—it’s sabotage.

Frosty deserves respect here. He didn’t buckle under pressure, kept his cool (literally), and hit the Buster with icy precision. A consummate pro amidst the nonsense.

Kent’s Advice? Nutcracker Captain needs to cut the General loose yesterday. Because if this keeps up, he won’t just be losing matches—he’ll be losing relevancy.

Rating: 2.5/5 

Overall Take

Not a bad showing—but it ain’t WrestleKind. The opening bout gave us emotion and heat, though Mad Hatter’s clownery is starting to get real old, real fast. The tag bouts delivered some serious meat-on-bone action, with The Howlers and Rapido & Peter showing why teamwork makes the dream work—and why lack of it breaks it. Then came the squash heard ’round the arena—Regina’s one-minute humiliation. If that’s royalty, then I’m a court jester.

Main event? It should have been a banger. Instead, it collapsed under its own theatrics and a manager who mistook ringside for center stage. That DQ ending left a bitter taste—Frosty was cool as ever, but Nutcracker Captain deserves better than babysitting his own entourage.

The talent’s there. The storytelling’s brewing. But someone needs to rein in the circus or risk becoming a parody. 

Greenland’s NPCW event had moments of brilliance, but too many questionable finishes and excessive interference made it fall short of its full potential.

Final Show Rating: 3.5/5 

This has been No Words Barred—where wrestling gets the truth, not excuses.
