Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport is running today in Rutherford, NJ at The Williams Center at 1 PM Eastern, streaming live on TrillerTV+. I know this is last minute, but here are a few predictions.

Nattie Neidhart vs. Masha Slamovich.

One of TNA’s best against a WWE legend. This one should be an excellent match. I hate Masha’s name, so let’s go with Nattie for the win.

Winner: Nattie Neidhart.

Jordan Blade vs. Janai Kai.

Both of these women are a mystery to me, but I have seen Jordan Blade’s name somewhere before, plus I watched the movie, Blade, a few weeks ago on Tubi.

Winner: Jordan Blade.

Ivar vs. Royce Isaacs.

One half of the WWE War Raiders versus Royce Issacs, whoever that is. This looks like war to me.

Winner: Ivar.

Erik vs. 1 Called Manders.

And here is the other half of the War Raiders versus someone with a name that is just sad. They’re not even trying anymore. Can you imagine Erik going into the WWE locker room and saying this guy beat him? Me neither.

Winner: Erik.

Simon Gotch vs. Nick Comoroto.

I remember Simon. He was the Vaudevillian who couldn’t sing and had the killer mustache. And Nick was part of AEW for a while. This is a dark-horse match that could turn out to be very good. Let’s go with Gotch for the win.

Winner: Simon Gotch.

Matt Mako vs. Ray Jaz.

Who are these people? I have no idea. Let’s flip a coin with heads for Mako and tails for Jaz. Heads it is.

Winner: Matt Mako.

Charlie Dempsey vs. Dominic Garrini.

Dempsey is the son of William Regal. Garrini is just a guy who shares a name with the Dirty One in WWE. He might be a good wrestler, but he’s not winning here.

Winner: Charlie Dempsey.

Timothy Thatcher vs. SLADE.

Thatcher is a respected veteran who regularly works for Evolve and has a long history in NXT as well. SLADE? I have no idea, but with the name all capitalized like that, he’s probably from Japan. Okay, he’s from PA and has worked for the NWA. Good for him. We need at least one upset and this will be it.

Winner: SLADE.

Jonathan Gresham vs. Pete Dunne.

Gresham is a former ROH Champion who has wrestled all over the world and worn gold practically everywhere he’s been. And Dunne is a former NXT UK Champion and regular on the WWE main roster. The Bruiserweight is also rumored to sometimes wear a mask and do lucha moves. Just don’t call him Butch. This should be the main event. I’m picking Gresham to win.

Winner: Jonathan Gresham.

And there you go with my predictions. Comments, thoughts, and your predictions are welcome and appreciated. And I guess that’s all for now. I’ll be watching SummerSlam, Night One, and following this show on the internet. Barnett’s Bloodsport rarely fails to deliver. And I guess that is all the people need to know. Be good and I’ll see you at the matches.
