A decent show, despite only having two matches featured on the card was still entertaining.
Jordan Oliver Def. Zenshi
A Solid opening match despite a few moves that didn’t connect in they way they perhaps should have but still a highly athletic bout. Oliver has huge potential & could be a big star of the Middleweight division, Zenshi was also very impressive & has such a high level of athleticism. Of course Olivers fellow injustice members involved themselves in the match & broke all the rules however Kotto really overstepped the mark & was told too leave ringside by the match official. Whilst all of that was happening Myron Reed would hit a springboard splash onto Zenshi who was laying in the ring, Oliver then made the cover & got the win.
I must say I’m not a big fan of Reed but I guess I can put that down to him playing his character too perfection. After the match All 3 members of injustice beat down Zenshi & the referee however Gringo Loco running too the ring with chair in hand made the save & Injustice swiftly retreated.
A recap ran from last week in which Salina De la Renta informed us all that LA Park will be cashing in his Golden battle riot ticket on the first live PPV in MLW history Super fight. The match has been confirmed as a No Disqualification match, LA Park vs The MLW Heavyweight Champion Jacob Fatu is going to be very hard hitting & can not wait to see it.
A vignette aired for Major League Wrestlings newest Signee ‘Canton Crippler’ Dominic Garrini who seems too be a legit fighter & should make things more interesting too see what he can do.
After returning from ads Rich informed us that Savio Vega is once again clear for active competition after being injured by Hammerstones Night Terror pendulum. Apparently MLW officials are questioning the legality of the move which of course Dynasty protested against, we were also informed that Vega is being sued by Salina De la Renta over a contract dispute this has lead to Vega becoming the mentor to Ol’ Mancer (Mance Warner) in his feud with Jimmy Havoc & Promociones Dorado.
A pre recorded segment with Mance Warner aired next in which Mancer challenged Jimmy Havoc too a bunk house brawl next week on fusion. Mance also recapped his few nights in jail until he was bailed out by his uncle “Moon Man”. Mance Warner is amazing & such a brawler, he has a huge future ahead of him & I can’t wait to see what’s next. Hopefully a run with the heavyweight title.
That main event was hyped up great by the Commentary team before going too the latest Installment of lifestyles of the Rich & Dynastic.
Holliday was in a coffee shop & had an espresso after taking a sip he said it was good & later tonight will also be good. Not really alot too report on this but Holliday certainly has potential however It’s clear MJF has had a big influence on him.
MLW will be returning to Orlando on November 9th for TV tapings Blood & Thunder.
A highlight package of the great War Chamber match from last week which saw Team Von Erich defeat Contra Unit.
Rich Bocchini threw backstage too Ross & Marshall Von Erich along with their father Kevin & Rich asks them if they’ll be keeping an eye on the upcoming tag team main event & who would they want too face for the tag team titles. They did tease a feud being reignited with the Hart Foundation as a generation vs generation, that’s something I certainly would love too see. However ultimately The Von Erichs don’t really care who the champions are because they’ll be the next, that’s certainly the vibe I picked up from them during their interview. Marshall & Ross have huge futures & definitely have that VE spirit & passion for the wrestling world.
A pre recorded promo with Salina De la Renta & Jimmy Havoc. It begins with Salina arguing with the cameraman over if he was filming her using the angle they discussed. She said she had a new problem in Jacob Fatu but LA Park will deal with that problem. She also mentioned her ongoing problem with Mance Warner but was interrupted by Jimmy Havoc who says that she doesn’t have too worry about that problem because he’s going too deal with it.
MLW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS- 2 OUT 3 FALLS DYNASTY (C) (MJF & HOLLIDAY) W/ ARIA BLAKE DEF. THE HART FOUNDATION (TEDDY HART & DAVEY BOY JR)
A Solid tag team main event that took a while to really get going as MJF & Holliday played the heel champions very well by walking around ringside berating the fans until Teddy & DBSjr threw them back in the ring. A few minutes into the match Dynasty decide they’re done & make their way backstage but are pursued by the Harts & are pushed back too ringside & continue the match. The first fall concluded after Holliday delivered a jawbreaker too Smith but the two collided heads & Davey Boy hit the mat as Holliday is leaning against the ropes & is pushed by MJF then falls into the cover for the first fall.
Dynasty 1-0 Hart Foundation
Hart Tagged in for the second fall & worked over both members of Dynasty which certainly woke the crowd up, Teddy climbed the ropes too hit a big move. But MJF hits the ropes too knock Teddy down, Friedman puts Hart back on the ropes but Teddy fights through & delivers a Canadian destroyer from the middle rope quickly followed up by springboard moonsault for the Harts too win the second fall.
Dynasty 1-1 Hart Foundation
Hart had MJF set up in a hammerlock DDT as MJF seemed too be knocked out due too the destroyer in the second fall. However Holliday broke it up with a big boot too Hart then Davey Boy would clear Holliday out of the ring Teddy would step onto the ring apron about too deliver a big move but as the referee became distracted Austin Aries rushes too the ring & unhooks Harts world middleweight championship from the turnbuckle & drives it into Teddy’s face then swiftly follows it up with a brain buster on the apron. Teddy drops to the floor & the referee begins the twenty count but also seems too be counting an unconscious MJF in the ring. At the count of 18 Davey Boy is trying to lift his partner back into the ring but doesn’t make it in time & the Dynasty retain the Tag titles.
Dynasty 2-1 Hart Foundation.
I’ve really been enjoying the resurgence to the career of Teddy Hart, Davey Boy Jr is one of the best heavyweights in Wrestling right now & surely should have bigger & better things coming too him. I’m intrigued as too what will happen with MJF as a tag team champion given that AEW tv begins very soon.
This was a very entertaining show & I’m glad I’ve chosen too watch MLW once again their roster is full of very talented wrestlers all with so much potential & although their weekly show only lasts 1 hour the matches are still great. I do however have to say that there are too many promo packages & talking, TNA had that problem for a while & didn’t end very well. A few promos are obviously necessary but there needs too be more than two matches.
There we have my first review of MLW Fusion, you can catch them on Bein Sports, YouTube & Free sports UK. They’re doing some great things & I wouldn’t wanna miss any of it.
