A quick turnaround saw the two combine for a Zoltan step-up dropkick to Dreissker, before they tried to one-up the other with roll-ups.<\/p>\n<p>Duke sneaks in and sent Zoltan flying with a front kick, before a clothesline and a pumphandle powerslam laid out Deville for a two-count. Deville finds time to hit a dive on Dreissker before a wacky shooting star off the apron took out Zoltan, before a moonsault to Duke almost made him the unlikely winner.<\/p>\n<p>Dreissker has his shot now, planting Deville with a death valley driver for a near-fall, before a springboard crossbody to Zoltan got nothing but mat. The Hungarian added a cutter out of the corner, but his dive got tripped up by Duke, who charged in with a flatliner for a near-fall, before Zoltan escaped a Duke\u2019s Decree.<\/p>\n<p>Zoltan\u2019s knee cleared the way for a trip up top, with a frog splash drawing in Dreissker to break up the pin as everyone tried to steal pins\u2026but it was Duke\u2019s crucifix pin on Deville that got the win as Zoltan had been held back from making the break. Alex Duke leaves Oberhausen with the Shotgun title\u2026 and that\u2019s not something anyone expected going into the weekender. ***<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re then taken backstage to Mett Dimassi, who\u2019s going to recap all the happenings from the Pro-Wrestling Grand Prix by way of the Top Moments:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Ahura beating Joey Janela at Extreme Wrestling Party, and Myron Reed\u2019s challenge afterwards<br \/>\n&#8211; Ahura retaining the title less than 24 hours later, this time against Myron Reed<br \/>\n&#8211; Ahura refusing to recognise this year\u2019s K\u00f6nig der Catcher winner\u2026<br \/>\n&#8211; Katsuhiko Nakajima kicking his way through Manders during the K\u00f6nig der Catcher tournament\u2026 only to lose to the Boss lariat\u2026<br \/>\n&#8211; Axel Tischer\u2019s injury withdrawal against Peter Tihanyi\u2026<br \/>\n&#8211; Manders\u2019 lariating Dennis Dullnig, only to lose to a roll-up\u2026<br \/>\n&#8211; Elijah Blum\u2019s win over Peter Tihanyi, and the ensuing beat-down from Dennis Dullnig\u2026<br \/>\n&#8211; \u2026and of course, the K\u00f6nig der Catcher final<br \/>\n&#8211; From the World Tag Team Tournament, we get Hyperactive\u2019s open challenge from the Saturday\u2026<br \/>\n&#8211; The Greedy Souls\u2019 win over the Grind\u2026<br \/>\n&#8211; \u2026and of course, the Souls\u2019 finale win<br \/>\n&#8211; Jumping back to the K\u00f6nig der Catcher, they recap the whole situation that led to Dieter Schwartz getting coaxed into defending the European title, only to lose it to Laurance Roman<br \/>\n&#8211; CSI\u2019s title defence against Sinner and Saint continues the jumping around\u2026<br \/>\n&#8211; And then it\u2019s time for some Femmes Fatales clips, starting with Kanji\u2019s win over Kay Lee Ray\u2026<br \/>\n&#8211; \u2026then Chihiro Hashimoto\u2019s victory over Jane Nero\u2026<br \/>\n&#8211; \u2026and of course, the Hashimoto\/Kanji final<\/p>\n<p>Deep breath, and now it\u2019s time to visit Fohrwerkmart, with Nordino checking tomatoes, and Peter Tihanyi brawling with Robert Dreissker over some Kinder Pinguis.<\/p>\n<p>Backstage clips now &#8211; first, Kanji has no regrets over her loss, especially since she came second to someone she deemed the best in the world. Kanji wants to push ona nd win that title though, so\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Backstage, Dennis Dullnig\u2019s on a sofa celebrating his K\u00f6nig der Catcher win, but got interrupted by Ben Thamer. Cash tells him to bugger off, but not before saying that at FAN in Frankfurt, Cash \u201cneeds to sit upon his rightful throne.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CSI\u2019s playing with the wXw trading cards, and throwing away Aleksander Bellamy, Robert Dreissker and the Cleaner. I assume that was Fohrwerk? The Greedy Souls wander in with their trophies, and they\u2019re going to turn that tournament win into a title shot in Hamburg next month.<\/p>\n<p>Next, Nick Schreier\u2019s backstage celebrating Laurance Roman\u2019s European title win, but Roman\u2019s trying to hide his annoyance at how Nick threw him under the bus with the impromptu title shot. They hug it out, but that European title\u2019s gonna cause problems.<\/p>\n<p>10\/10 Next Level run into Jane Nero in the locker room. She\u2019s still sour over her semi-final exit, as she wasn\u2019t too impressed with Alex Duke\u2019s Shotgun title win.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Dreissker\u2019s the sort to wear sunglasses indoors, as his debriefing of the weekend was seemingly going nowhere as Isabella was having trouble pushing Robin Christopher Fohrwerk uphill. Fohrwerk vowed that Planet Gojirah would be back, stronger than ever\u2026<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"29158\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/backbodydrop.com\/blog\/reviews\/wxw-shotgun-october-08-2026\/attachment\/wxw-shotgun081026-brandgame\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/backbodydrop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/wxw-shotgun081026-brandgame.jpg?fit=800%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"800,450\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"wxw-shotgun081026-brandgame\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/backbodydrop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/wxw-shotgun081026-brandgame.jpg?fit=788%2C443&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-29158\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/backbodydrop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/wxw-shotgun081026-brandgame.jpg?resize=788%2C443\" alt=\"\" width=\"788\" height=\"443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/backbodydrop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/wxw-shotgun081026-brandgame.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/backbodydrop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/wxw-shotgun081026-brandgame.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/backbodydrop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/wxw-shotgun081026-brandgame.jpg?resize=150%2C84&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/backbodydrop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/wxw-shotgun081026-brandgame.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/backbodydrop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/wxw-shotgun081026-brandgame.jpg?resize=450%2C253&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Quick &amp; Dirty\u2019s playing video games, but Hugo Brand seemed to be upset at losing at whatever Super Nintendo game they were playing\u2026 Cowboy Way are next, they\u2019ve metaphorically kissed and made up\u2026 while Peter Tihanyi\u2019s annoyed at how Dennis Dullnig and Ahura were allowed to wander off without anything happening.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re back with Mett and Ben Thamer, who have a bunch of match announcements for us to close out the show\u2026<\/p>\n<p>For We Love Wrestling 79 in Bielefeld on October 17:<br \/>\nJane Nero vs. Gianna Capri<br \/>\nwXw Shotgun Championship: Zoltan vs. Alex Duke (c)<br \/>\nRobert Dreissker &amp; VCC (Noe Ahuka &amp; Daniel Akindele) vs. Nick Schreier &amp; CSI (Luca de Leone &amp; Nordino)<\/p>\n<p>For FAN in Frankfurt on October 24:<br \/>\nwXw Unified World Wrestling Championship: Ricky Sosa vs. Ahura (c)<br \/>\nJacob Crane vs. Katsuya Murashima<br \/>\nJane Nero vs. Akane Fujita<br \/>\nNick Schreier vs. Dieter Schwartz<br \/>\nwXw European Championship: Kuro vs. Laurance Roman (c)<br \/>\nShigehiro Irie vs. Elijah Blum<\/p>\n<p>For We Love Wrestling 80 at Hamburg on November 7:<br \/>\nwXw World Tag Team Championship: Greedy Souls (Brendan White &amp; Danny Jones) vs. CSI (Luca de Leone &amp; Nordino) (c)<br \/>\nEuropean Rounds Rules: Leon van Gasteren vs. Robert Dreissker<br \/>\nThe Grind (Laurance Roman &amp; Nick Schreier) vs. Knockout Brothers (OSKAR &amp; Yuto-Ice)<\/p>\n<p>We then close out with an in-memoriam graphic for PAC.
