Limitless Wrestling crowned a new champion on Saturday night at the third annual Vacationland Cup in Yarmouth, Maine. While the promotion has continued to produce shorter weekly shows on IWTV during the pandemic, this marks their first full-length card since February 22.

Last week I had the opportunity to interview one of the competitors in the tournament, “Top Talent” Christian Casanova, whose attitude and obvious passion for the craft make it hard to ignore why he’s considered one of the best up-and-coming names in the Northeast.

Not only did Casanova wrestle one of the best singles matches of the night in the first round against CJ Cruz, but he went on to survive a main event four-way elimination match to win the 2020 Vacationland Cup AND the vacant Limitless Wrestling World Championship.

While I’ll have more thoughts on the show later this week, I highly recommend checking it out on IWTV. You can use the code “LIMITLESS” at checkout for a free five-day trial. Every match ranged from good to very good, with Daniel Garcia and Lee Moriarty stealing the show early in the night with a bout that every indie should be looking to book in 2021.

That’s not to say you can check out after the second match, as all three of the other first round matches delivered big time, creating an awesome main event, and a must-see tag team match between the Maine State Posse and Team Sea Stars. There’s really nothing bad here, and after the last few weeks of “mainstream” wrestling on TV, a show full of good/great matches with clean finishes and satisfying outcomes absolutely hits the spot.

Northeast independent promotion Limitless Wrestling will close out 2020 this evening with their third annual Vacationland Cup, a one-night tournament streaming exclusively on IWTV.

The stakes are higher than ever this year, after former Limitless Wrestling World Champion Anthony Greene left the title in abeyance when signing with WWE back in August. Only two men have ever held that title since its inception, Greene and Maxwell Jacob Friedman, and both have gone on to sign with major promotions. The winner of tonight’s Vacationland Cup will not only take home the coveted trophy, but the title as well.

Before we jump into what’s on the card, you can join us in watching the 2020 Vacationland Cup tonight at 7:00 PM ET streaming exclusively on IWTV. Use the code “LIMITLESS” for a five day free trial and watch the entire show for free. IWTV carries a large number of independent promotions across the United States and beyond, with a library of on-demand content from groups like AIW, Freelance Wrestling, GCW, Beyond Wrestling and more.

The actual tournament will feature eight competitors facing off in four first round singles matches. MLW World Middleweight Champion Myron Reed was originally scheduled for the show, but could not attend due to travel issues. A four-way match was held last weekend to determine his replacement, with CJ Cruz emerging victorious.

CJ Cruz will take on “Top Talent” Christian Casanova in the opening round. Check out our recent interview with Casanova, which also acts as a preview for this tournament. The other first round matches are Alec Price vs. IMPACT Wrestling’s Ace Romero, JD Drake vs. Kevin Blackwood, and Daniel Garcia vs. Lee Moriarty.

The winners of those four matches will advance to a Fatal 4-Way elimination match to determine the tournament winner as well as the new Limitless Wrestling World Champion.

Also announced for today’s card is the Maine State Posse, Aiden Aggro and Danger Kid, taking on the Sea Stars, Ashley Vox and Delmi Exo, hot off their recent appearance in the IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts Tag Team Championship Tournament.
