MCW/ACW Fan Jam Results from 2/16
Update: I made a change to my final thoughts below after hearing from someone who read my comments originally to make sure things were clarified. I also wanted to add that there were many enjoyable moments during the show, especially the match involving Jadis Quinn and Alex Divine along with the match pitting Zakar Shah and Austin Kingsley against Tommy Dreamer and Ken Dixon.
MCW Pro Wrestling and Adrenaline Championship Wrestling (ACW) presented Fan Jam 4 on Sunday, February 16, 2025, at R.J. Meyer Arena in Joppa, Maryland. The match results for the event are below.
Myles Hawkins defeated Chris Slade.
Chris Wylde defeated Tarzan Duran in an ACW No. 1 Contender’s match.
The Devil’s Business (Clay Jacobs, AK Baine, and Amara Voyd) defeated Ryan Zukko, Khaz Lee (substituting for the injured Ronnie Zukko), and Gia Scott when Voyd pinned Gia Scott. Later, a video played between matches showing Voyd standing over a laid-out Scott somewhere backstage.
Mecca, accompanied by Hellfire McGuire, defeated Vinny Talotta after multiple interference attempts by McGuire. Talotta pulled McGuire into the ring and beat him up, but Mecca took advantage by using McGuire’s shoe as a weapon before rolling up Talotta for the win. Before the match, McGuire emphasized that he was no longer a sidekick—referring to his betrayal of Miami Mike Walker—but by the end of the match, he proved to be just that, if not something less, for Mecca. At one point, Mecca even used him as a human shield. With Talotta stepping into MCW to take on the rivals of his Post Game partner Walker, a Post Game vs. Mecca & Hellfire feud seems likely.
Tommy Dreamer and Ken Dixon defeated Zakar Shah and Austin Kingsley V in an Extreme Rules match. ECW chants erupted as Dreamer entered, continuing throughout the match along with frequent “Get the tables!” chants.
Vam Williams successfully defended the ACW Heavyweight Championship against Sicend, despite interference attempts by Jason Drake and Aurora Lee.
Alex Divine defeated Jadis Quinn in a strong match to retain the MCW Rage TV Championship. Afterward, as the two shook hands, Alec Odin hopped the rail and attacked both men, with Divine clearly his primary target.
Spencer Slade defeated Patrick Clark by submission. Before and during the match, Clark mocked Slade’s hearing impairment, even stating that he is "on the spectrum." His routine is wearing thin—what once got a reaction now feels stale. Clark doesn’t receive the same pop he did when he first returned, and this match suffered because of it. His act is starting to generate go-away heat rather than true heel heat, with only a handful of fans still cheering for him. Clark needs a little less talk and a lot more action—he should just shut up and wrestle.
Riley Krowe defeated Simone Valentina via disqualification. James Ellsworth, who accompanied Krowe, repeatedly interfered, prompting loud “Ellsworth sucks!” chants. At one point, he attempted to hit Valentina but accidentally struck Krowe instead, leading the referee to call for the bell and disqualify the challenger. After the match, Valentina called Ellsworth a “bitch” and challenged him to a match on March 23 at MCW’s event in Dundalk.
Joseph Keys successfully defended the MCW Heavyweight Championship. Dante Caballero introduced Keys and was joined by The Hustlers as they accompanied Keys to the ring, drawing “Sloppy Joe” chants from the crowd. The Hustlers used every trick they could, including one of them getting taken out by referee Mike Kehner before both were ejected from ringside. Caballero also interfered, helping Keys retain the title. After the match, The Hustlers and Caballero returned to attack Demarcus Kane, handcuffing him to the bottom rope and beating him down. No one from the locker room came to help, and the event ended with Kane still cuffed as the closing announcement was made.
Final Thoughts
This was one of the quicker MCW shows, with a 5 p.m. bell time and wrapping up shortly after 7 p.m. However, at times it felt longer, with stretches that seemed to drag. The MCW/ACW match integration didn’t flow as well as it could have, and like I’ve noted before, ACW relies too much on screwjob finishes.
The main event formula was familiar, echoing MCW’s past booking with The Trade when Robert Locke was champion. It seems likely that MCW will stretch Joe Keys’ storyline for several more months. While Dante Caballero’s interference at Seasons Beatings (where he disguised himself as security) was a great moment, last night’s show lacked that same spark. The MCW crew and talent may have been feeling the effects of working back-to-back events, including Saturday’s show in Ridgely, MD.
Patrick Clark just needs to go away. His shtick has worn out its welcome, and at this point, he’s bringing matches down instead of adding to them.
Despite the short length of the show, there was no intermission, which I’ve been told after what I originally wrote here is a thing for Fan Jam shows only, presumably for length. That’s something a lot of fans, especially parents and older people think probably needs to end. A brief intermission allows fans a chance to recharge and keeps energy levels up throughout the night.
Hopefully, MCW’s return to Dundalk next month will bring a refreshed energy and an exciting atmosphere.
