Blodyxe Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 (edited) Major League Wrestling: Styles Make Fights! Hello everyone, and welcome to ‘Styles Make Fights’, the continuation of ‘MLW: Underground Revolution’ diary that I started last year with Kanegan. I have decided to make a new thread to switch the formatting style and have more control over older posts. With the new changes, I feel like it will be better to keep the descriptions shorter. I intend to treat this save more as a TEW playthrough to keep things running faster, so anyone would be able to scan the diary faster. We are still in the year 2021, and heading towards Blood and Thunder supershow co-produced with CRASH Lucha Libre. You’ll get a short recap of the events that transpired in the last few in-game months, with weekly shows being presented as recaps. Usually I wrote the show first on a piece of paper, and then stuck it in the game. Now I want to try a different approach, and flip the way I’ve been doing things all this time. MLW Style and Philosophy In case you are not familiar with this company, MLW presents a variety of wrestling styles in its matches, promoting hybrid wrestling. Here you will see luchadors, brawlers, technicians, mixed martial artists, powerhouses and psychopaths all under one roof. While win/loss records don’t work as well in pro wrestling, I’ll try to make a better job of it than AEW and have some respect for the concept of power rankings. The MLW roster will consist of some mainstay, core characters, but will rely heavily on people from the outside joining the league for a set of TV tapings. I’ll try to limit the number of incoming talent, but ultimately, any free agent has a chance to compete in our squared circle. MLW has taken a liking to divisions based on weight limits, and I’ll be respectful of that, only removing the ‘Featherweight’ weight limit from the newly minted women’s division. Also, the heel/babyface divide will be enforced loosely. We will not banish the basics of pro wrestling storytelling, but also will not shy away from booking people of the same disposition from time to time. After all, this is a league, and everyone will fight everyone! I’ll get busy with a short roster breakdown in the next post and present to you our current champions - we had a fair few title changes already. Thank you for checking this diary out, hope this fresh start will be enjoyable for all of us! Edited August 21, 2023 by Blodyxe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blodyxe Posted August 23, 2022 Author Share Posted August 23, 2022 (edited) MLW World Heavyweight ChampionshipAlexander Hammerstone Height: 6’2″Weight: 251 lbsHometown: Phoenix, AZStyle: Power WrestlerSignature Move: Nightmare Pendulum Alex dethroned Jacob Fatu in a brutal match at Fightland to become the new face of MLW. Since capturing the main title, Hammerstone vacated the MLW National Openweight championship he held for more than 850 days, conquered CONTRA in a War Chamber match, retained his title against 'Fiithy' Tom Lawlor, and now looks forward to taking his title on an international tour to make it a true world title. His next challenger is triple champion Bandido, who holds the ROH, PWG, and CRASH championships simultaneously! Quote: Previous Champions Jacob Fatu (July 2019 - September 2021, 10 defenses) Tom Lawlor (February 2019 - July 2019, 3 defenses) Low-Ki (July 2018 - February 2019, 7 defenses) Shane Strickland (April 2018 - July 2018, 1 defense) Vacant Steve Corino (June 2003 - February 2004, 3 defenses) Mike Awesome (June 2003 - June 2003, 0 defenses) Satoshi Kojima (September 2002 - June 2003, 7 defenses) Vacant Shane Douglas (June 2002 - September 2002, 0 defenses) MLW World Tag Team ChampionshipVon Erichs (2x)Height: 6’3” - 6’1″Weight: 250 lbs - 220 lbsHometown: Denton County, TX (fighting out of Kauai, Hawaii)Style: HybridSignature Moves: Moonsault, Iron Claw Ross and Marshall are the first ever two-time MLW Tag Team champions, beating Los Parks at Fightland. Von Erich boys have fought both CONTRA and Team Filthy to mark themselves as the very best tag team in MLW. Unfortunately, Marshall suffered an injury at the hands of 5150, so Kevin Von Erich, the father of champions, will have to use the 'Freebird Rule' to step in the ring and keep the gold in the family. If dirt sheets are to be believed, Von Erichs will defend their titles against another father and son - Ricky and Kerry Mortons. Quote: Previous Champions Los Parks (January 2021 - September 2021, 6 defenses) Von Erichs (November 2019 - January 2021, 3 defenses) Dynasty (July 2019 - November 2019, 1 defense) Hart Foundation (February 2019 - July 2019, 0 defenses) Lucha Brothers (July 2018 - February 2019, 3 defenses) Vacant Extreme Horsemen (May 2003 - February 2004, 3 defenses) MLW National Openweight ChampionshipVacant Hammerstone vacated the title after capturing the main event crown, and Cesar Duran saw this as a unique opportunity to book a multi-man ladder match. Alas, his plans were ruined by Alex Kane and AR Fox who have beaten all competitors of that match and stole the belt, keeping it in their possession until the last MLW Fusion show. Rumors are flowing that 'The Suplex Assassin' Kane and 'The Heavyweight Hustle' Calvin Tankman will go 1-on-1 at Blood and Thunder to give us a new and legitimate champion! Quote: Previous Champions Alexander Hammerstone (June 2019 - October 2021, 14 defenses) MLW World Middleweight ChampionshipMyron Reed (2x)Height: 6′Weight: 173 lbsHometown: Louisville, KYStyle: High FlyerSignature Move: Sky Walker 'The Young G.O.A.T.' Myron Reed has been the posterboy of the Middleweight division, and it looked like nobody could stop his hot streak. Enter AR Fox, Myron's mentor and teacher, who left Reed's team short handed in a War Chamber match and put the wedge in champ's relationship with hot-headed Jordan Oliver. Fox scored a pinfall victory over his student at the last show, but did so in a non-title match. Currently Reed is scheduled to defend his title against CRASH Cruiserweight champion Flamita in the upcoming Blood and Thunder show. Quote: Previous Champions Lio Rush (January 2021 - May 2021, 2 defenses) Myron Reed (November 2019 - January 2021, 4 defenses) Teddy Hart (December 2018 - November 2019, 6 defenses) Vacant MJF (June 2018 - December 2018, 1 defense) MLW Women's ChampionshipMarina ShafirHeight: 5’7″Weight: 145 lbsHometown: Soroca, MoldovaStyle: MMASignature Move: Achilles Lock 'The Supernova from Moldova' made a statement when she beat five other women, including good friend and tag team partner Jessamyn Duke, at the War Chamber event. Marina doesn't feel the pressure, she thrives under it, and leaves no prisoners in the ring. Shafir came to MLW not to play games and exchange pleasantries, but to prove that she's the baddest woman in the whole league. Quote: Previous Champions None IWA Carribean Heavyweight ChampionshipLow KiHeight: 5’8″Weight: 176 lbsHometown: New York City, NYStyle: HybridSignature Move: Ki Krusher 'The Professional' has been in MLW since its exception and built a reputation of a no-nonsense striker who takes his business very seriously. After reuniting with Salina de la Renta to beat King Muertes for the title, Low Ki looks to eliminate everyone who crosses his or Salina's way. Their relationship is strictly professional, but his rivalry with Muertes turned personal after Ki stole the brute's mask at the latest Azteca show. Ki also has a strained relationship with Konnan, whose 'street dogs' are always ready to strike... Quote: Previous Champions King Muertes (July 2021 - October 2021, 3 defenses) Richard Holliday (January 2021 - July 2021, 4 defenses) Savio Vega (June 2019 - January 2021, 0 defenses) Azteca Underground Trios ChampionshipLos ParksHeight: 6’2 - ″6’1″ - 6' 1"Weight: 269 lbs - 299 lbs - 198 lbsHometown: Torreon, Coahuila, MexicoStyle: Hardcore, Lucha LibreSignature Move: La Parkinator The living lucha libre legend and his sons rarely compete without some gold draped over their masculine waists. Aligned with Cesar Duran, La Familia Real had an easy route to become the first ever Trios champions, but now they are finding themselves in a war with Konnan's 5150 group, who are here not to take part, but to take over. Two factions are set to fight at the upcoming Blood & Thunder event in Mexico, and if Cesar Duran returns in time, this will be a festival of violence!

It is even more interesting to start again on this new and updated forum. I'm still poking around and playing with the editor, so formatting may not be ideal. Who am I fooling, I am sure that formatting is all over the place now that we can preview how it looks on tablets and mobile phones haha. Goes without saying, I'm formatting for desktop viewing. Feedback is appreciated, of course. Also, while sitting here for a few hours I've discovered some cool things. There's one feature that every dynasty writer will like... now if you accidentally close the tab or browser altogether, you will not lose your text and formatting on the forum. This word gets thrown around a lot, but that's a gamechanger. Being able to see posts as un-registered users is also YUGE! EDIT: Combined champions and active roster posts together, also fixing the spreadsheet width. Prolly enough for today!

Blodyxe Posted August 24, 2022 Author Share Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) MLW Azteca #12 This is Azteca Underground’s go-home show before Blood and Thunder! The event will be produced by Salina de la Renta, who gets this power after being handpicked by the MLW Board of Directors. The event will feature three matches, and go for 60 minutes. The main event of the show is the battle of big bruisers - ‘Mr. TNT’ Savio Vega and ‘The Blue Collar Brawler’ Texano. CRASH Cruiserweight champion Demonic Flamita will make his Azteca debut against ‘The Aerial Artist’ Zenshi. Marty The Moth and Ivelisse will open the show. King Muertes and AR Fox are also rumoured to make an appearance!

Blodyxe Posted August 25, 2022 Author Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) MLW Azteca Episode #12 - "Life Is Cheap" Taped for El Rey Network in South East Aired on Week 4, November 2021 Announce Team: Konnan and Famous B Salina de la Renta opens the show with an in-ring promo. She was appointed as an executive producer of tonight’s Azteca episode. She reminds all the ‘gentlemarks’ that last week her new clients, The Colons, have defeated Muertes, Savio Vega and Ivelisse - after all three of them had the audacity to ask for a title match with Low Ki. Salina calls them losers and books them in a ‘Three-Way To The Grave’ match at Blood and Thunder! The winner of that match will get an IWA Caribbean title match at the final supershow of the year, while losers will be shipped off to Puerto Rico as Cargo 200! Ivelisse interrupts de la Renta and points out that the only reason she lost last week is because of that nut job Marty The Moth distracting erratic Muertes and past-his-prime Savio Vega eating the pin. Ivelisse claims she’s unstoppable in singles competition, and can take out anyone! Salina says that’s great, because she has a fitting opponent for her tonight… Out comes Marty The Moth! ‘Creepy Bastard’ waves to the girls and shows off his package... Not that one, a mysterious parcel he stole from Cesar’s office a few weeks ago. It gives him the power of life! Marty The Moth vs. Ivelisse Quote ‘The Baddest Bitch In The Building’ hits Marty ‘below the waterline’ and almost pins him after The Code Huntress! She kicks Marty’s mantits with kicks, but gets dropped hard after 'The Moth' reverses a Hurricanrana into a Powerbomb with a provocative pinning maneuver. Ivelisse kicks out, stands her ground and uses her agility to duck a big Bicycle Kick. Marty’s leg is on the rope, and he goes down after a Tornado DDT!! But kicks out in two… Ivelisse appeals to the ref, Marty is too touchy and gross. He jams his fingers into her throat and eventually puts ‘La Sicaria’ away with a Modified Full Nelson Slam. He really broke a butterfly on the wheel there! Marty The Moth defeated Ivelisse in 7:26 by pinfall with a Full Nelson Slam. [32/100] After the bout, Marty screams ‘That’s for Jeremiah!’ and tries to… lick Ivelisse! Salina left the match early after a phone call, so Melissa Martinez came out to buy Ivelisse some time. Marty is distracted by his half-sister and doesn’t see King Muertes charging at him from behind! Moth goes down after The Reaper’s Trident and drops the mysterious parcel that Muertes can finally call his own. ‘The Man of 1000 Deaths’ screams for Salina and Low-Ki, he wants his revenge! They took his mask, but he will take their souls… Melissa Martinez is laughing at Marty getting speared out of his boots, but Muertes thinks she doesn’t take him seriously. Muertes chokeslams her in the middle of the ring!! Ex-champion leaves the ring with three knocked out people and an item that gives its owner ‘the power of life’. MLW Blood and Thunder: Alex Hammerstone vs. Bandido; Myron Reed vs. Flamita; King Muertes vs. Ivelisse vs. Savio Vega - Three Way To The Grave; Salina is walking backstage while having a phone conversation with Low Ki, but she gets interrupted by Savio Vega. She tried to kill him once, but he’s still here, his heart beating. After he beats Ivelisse and Muertes in a three-way, he will bring back the IWA Caribbean title back to the people of Puerto Rico, where it belongs! Salina says that she planned to give grandpa Savio a week off, but since he just interrupted her call, he is punished! He will go one on one against Texano in tonight’s main event! Vega doesn’t mind that at all, and tells ‘La Bruja’ he still has plenty of fuel in his tank. Famous B reacts to the main event, saying that he will not represent Texano, since ‘The Blue Collar Brawler’ refused to apologize to ‘El Jefe’ for knocking him out. Time for our second match of the night. Zenshi is already standing in the ring and talks a bit about the shoulder injury he suffered at the hands of Marty The Moth. Tonight serves as a great example that karma exists - The Moth has been swatted away for his sins. Zenshi forgives him, and he forgives AR Fox too, another tortured soul that needs to find inner peace. Zenshi’s speech is cut short by the arrival of Demonic Flamita! The CRASH Cruiserweight champion is here to have a match before his meeting with Myron Reed at Blood and Thunder. Zenshi vs. Demonic Flamita Quote This match featured two of the most talented luchadors in the league, and it certainly delivered for believers gathered in attendance. Zenshi showcased some of his unique moves, but was handicapped by his shoulder injury. Flamita tortured ‘The Aerial Artist’ with Arm Drags and targeted the injury to set up a fairly quick finish - a Codebreaker variation from La Valagueza. Flamita calls this move 'Retador', after his father. Myron Reed should take notes! Demonic Flamita defeated Zenshi in 8:12 by pinfall with Retador. [46/100] As the replays showcase the highlights of this lucha libre contest, AR Fox makes his way to the ring with a mic. He’s on his own today, and talks about how Calvin Tankman attacked him from behind last week. He is nothing more than a goon hired by Dario Cueto - a real snake in the grass! He can change his name, but he can’t change his true colors. Fox says he should be fighting Reed for the title instead of Flamita, and the luchador is lucky AR Fox is a busy man. Flamita slinks away… Fox adds there’s a conspiracy against him, and if anyone should be talking about injustice - it is him! Cueto sacrificed Fox and put him through hell, forcing him to fight in a war of the century. He now ‘uses’ Zenshi in the same way, but he’s too blind to see the real truth. AR Fox offers Zenshi a hand… ‘The Aerial Artist’ sits in a lotus pose and whispers something to ‘The One Man Army’, but eventually takes up the offer. AR picks Zenshi by his hurt arm only to drop him with a Foxcatcher!! Fox tells Zenshi to ‘Never Trust Anyone’ and leaves the ring, promising to expose Duran when he gets the balls to show up in MLW! In a short pre-taped promo The Lucha Dream Team of Aramis, Samuray del Sol and Laredo Kid promised to get back on the winning track at Blood and Thunder. They throw an open challenge to any Trios team in CRASH Lucha Libre, and let the fans know they will be back in the Trios title mix, no matter who holds the belts - 5150 or Los Parks! It is time for our main event of the night - Savio Vega goes one on one with Texano! Famous B says this is going to be a slobberknocker, then begs Konnan to lend him some of that money Apolo left behind him. K-Dawg tells B to ‘forget about it’, the money belongs to ‘La Familia’. Savio Vega vs. Texano Quote A match made by Salina de la Renta is well-received by the fans who are fond of good old brawling. It is a borderline hardcore match, as both men are no strangers to foreign objects and fighting in the crowds. Mr. TNT sends Texano back first on the wooden bleachers, but decides against taking a count out victory. Savio is distracted by Famous B at some point, which gives Texano a chance to hit the veteran with a Leg Lariat on the outside! Both men go balls to the walls in the ring, Vega misses The Caribbean Kick and Texano pins him after a Sitout Powerbomb! A good victory for the former AAA Mega champion, one to forget for Savio. Texano defeated Savio Vega in 09:48 by pinfall with Powerbomb. [44/100] ‘The Blue Collar Brawler’ helps Savio get up and embraces the living legend. This feel good moment is interrupted by the returning Cesar Duran! Looks like he has ‘the cojones’ to show his face around these places again. He does have a huge shiner!‘El Jefe’ smirks and says that Salina might be an executive producer for one night only, but he runs the whole show. Cesar says that he despises both men, and would fire them on the spot if he didn’t want to teach them a lesson first. Duran says that Texano will feel the wrath of Gods at Blood and Thunder, and as for Savio, he will be obliterated by King Muertes! Duran can’t wait for the show, and reveals that the super event will have Azteca Underground Trios champions Los Parks and 5150 in a Tijuana Street Fight match!! Konnan stands up from his seat and gets in a verbal spat with the boss to end the show.

Old School Fan Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Nice work on this MLW thread. I've followed MLW from time to time (particularly while Contra Unit was dominating in the company), so it's a pretty good alternative to WWE. A question I do have - how do you get your posts to span the width of the screen like it does here? I'd like to be able to do that for my diary posts so they can look like they did back at the old forum. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you liked the show apart from Marty/Ivelisse haha. I can understand why some people wouldn't approve such a match, but intergender wrestling was a big part of Lucha Underground, which Azteca tries to emulate. Regardless, I won't be making IG matches very often! Then again, Ivelisse will be booked in a Triple Threat Casket match, so yeaaaaah... 1 hour ago, Old School Fan said: Nice work on this MLW thread.

CONTRA was a big deal indeed, now they will be scaled down following Fatu's face turn. As for your question, I'm not sure what you mean, but I PMed you. Will be glad to help when I get more details! More about my trails and errors with the editor... Dynasty Format I had a fair few run-ins with the editor, but it looks like the show is finally looking adequate. Hint to dynasty writers - set the color of your text to be automatic, so you wouldn't get black font on dark theme Overall, the new editor is much more fluid, and that can get frustrating... You push something, and another thing is squeezed out of the format. Lots of blind tinkering before I could jam 'POST'. Hope the show wasn't too big. I halved the amount of text I needed for the old format, less dialogue, shorter match descriptions and no drop-down dirt sheets. Saved quite a lot of time! One accidental thing I decided to keep is the match description inside of the 'Quote'. It hides the result and some GIFs too, so less spoilers I guess 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blodyxe Posted August 26, 2022 Author Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) MLW Fusion #147 This is our last stop before going to Mexico for Blood and Thunder supershow! With Cesar Duran back in the active role, this promises to be a show full of high-octane and violent action. For the main event we have a battle of former CONTRA brethrens - Jacob Fatu and Daivari. Josef Samael, leader of the international cabal of violence, will be hoping to beat some sense into ‘The Samoan Werewolf’ using Daivari’s in-ring experience. In the semi-main event of the show, Richard Holliday will lock up with Gino Medina, a former stablemate and friend. ‘The Airpod God’ wants to prove that he can exist without Alex Hammerstone just fine, and Medina wants to wrestle the Opera Cup ticket away from Holliday! Our MLW ring might not be able to contain the contestants of our next match… Big Damo is a force to be reckoned with, but his claims for a world title shot have fallen on deaf ears. Can ‘The Belfast Beast’ get Cesar’s attention, when he meets with ‘The Ruler of Ass’ also known as Warhorse? Over 4320 pounds between these two men, you don’t want to miss this! In the opening contest of the evening, Jessamyn Duke and Zeda Zhang will showcase their mixed martial art skills. MLW Women’s champion Marina Shafir is scheduled to make an appearance and join the commentary for this intriguing match up. Jessamyn enjoys a significant height advantage, but Zeda is a smart and skilled fighter with a big heart. Finally, we will witness a press conference from Arena Mexico to promote the dream match between Alexander Hammerstone and Bandido booked for Blood and Thunder!

Blodyxe Posted August 27, 2022 Author Share Posted August 27, 2022 (edited) MLW Fusion Episode #147 Taped for Vice TV in Tri State Aired on Week 4, November 2021 Announce Team: Rich Bocchini and Jared Saint Laurent Before the show we get a vignette from Cesar Duran's makeshift office. 'El Jefe' is back and offers his guests Angelico and Matt Cross some bourbon... Both refuse the drink and say that they came here for something else. La Rebellion Amarilla have terrorized them for too long now, and they need to settle the score! Duran likes their hunger, and says that they will get a chance at Blood and Thunder. Furthermore, they will challenge for the CRASH Tag Team titles that Bestia 666 and Mechawolf currently hold! They seem surprised, Cesar is suspiciously kind to them… but they got what they came for. As they leave, Cross asks if ‘El Jefe’ can undo the 'Three-Way To The Grave' match booked by Salina de la Renta. Duran says 'not a chance' and laughs. Announcers welcome us to the show and preview tonight’s main event - Jacob Fatu against Daivari! CONTRA’s inner conflict is getting out of control, and we can expect a very angry Jacob Fatu following CONTRA’s attack from last week. Then announcers hype up Marina Shafir, our MLW Women's champion. A quick recap of her performance is shown before her entrance, and then she just takes her place behind the desk for the opening contest involving Jessamyn Duke. Jessamyn Duke vs. Zeda Zhang Quote Both women are well versed in mixed martial arts and it is a fairly stiff affair. Lots of kicks, punches and suplexes from both fighters, but nothing to impress the champion. Commentators ask Marina about accidentally punching her friend back in the 6-way match to crown the champ, but Shafir asks 'who said it was accidental?' A rhetorical question. Zeda Zhang looks better as the match goes on, even though Duke towers over her. Shafir doesn't hide her disappointment in the tag team partner when Zeda traps Duke in a Guillotine and makes her tap out! Huge victory for Zeda Zhang! Zeda Zhang defeated Jessamyn Duke in 6:28 by submission with a Guillotine. [28/100] Marina does not help her friend after the beating and says she has no time for losers. She’ll be fighting this Sunday, and she will show exactly why she is the first MLW Women’s champion! A quick recap of Azteca results and promo video about Demonic Flamita is aired on the backstage TV monitor, with Myron Reed and Calvin Tankman discussing the interpromotional bout set for Blood and Thunder. ‘Young G.O.A.T’ says his loss to Fox was just a bump on the road, he will set the record straight this Sunday. He will win for himself, but also for his kids! At the end of the day, it’s all about their families… Calvin agrees, he also has mouths to feed at home, and his goal is to win the MLW National Openweight title, and be a champ the streets won’t forget! Jordan Oliver interrupts the chatter of two family men and mocks them, asking how does their ‘wack pullout game make them more mature’? This makes Tankman angry, but Reed holds ‘The Heavyweight Hustle’ back and tells him to keep that anger for Alex Kane. No need to fight now, fellas. Back to the ring, Big Damo bullies the ring announcer and complains about not being put in The Opera Cup! ‘The Beast Of Belfast’ says that Alex Hammerstone only went to Mexico to duck his challenge, and sooner or later, the title will be wrapped around his waist! Damo lists some heavyweights he has manhandled in MLW and asks for some heavy hitter from the back. Warhorse comes out! He is rocking his head back and forth and greets the fans! The bullied announcer reveals that ‘The Little Viking’ weighs over 4000 lbs. of raw heavy metal, and will be Damo’s opponent for tonight! Big Damo vs. WARHORSE Quote Warhorse didn’t stand a chance against a frustrated heavyweight. While the fan favorite had a glimmer of hope after hitting Damo with a Double Foot Stomp, the rest of the match went with Damo in the driver’s seat. The Irish lad squashes Warhorse with The Ulster Plantation to extend his winning streak in MLW! Big Damo defeated Warhorse in 03:28 by pinfall with Ulster Plantation. [36/100] Backstage pre-taped promo form 5150! Konnan and his goons are cutting a promo full of expletives with an ECW logo in the background. The gangsters are hyped for their match with Los Parks, and talk a big game ahead of an even bigger fight… Pre-match picture-in-picture promos from Richard Holliday and Gino Medina. ‘The Airpod God’ says that he intends to win the Opera Cup and go on to challenge his bro Alex Hammerstone in the most dynastic main event in MLW’s history! Gino Medina does not phase Richard one bit, he doesn’t even deserve to breathe the rarified air. ‘Intocable’ Gino Medina says that Holliday won’t be going to The Opera Cup when he ‘Eats Defeat’ tonight. Gino left The Dynasty to carve his own path, and it all begins here, comprende? Gino Medina vs. Richard Holliday Quote A solid match between two young wrestlers. After a few pushes and slaps to the face from both men, the action got more wrestling-like, with Holliday controlling his opponent in various holds. Gino surprised Richard with a Step Up Enzuigiri, but it wasn’t enough to put his former stablemate away. Medina looked for ‘Eat Defeat‘, but Holliday transitioned it into a Figure 4! Gino grabbed the rope, but experienced ‘The Market Crash’ to lose the match. Richard Holliday defeated Gino Medina in 09:38 by pinfall with a Market Crash. [38/100] Holliday’s pompous celebration and post-match interview with Alicia Atout is interrupted by a message from CONTRA! Mads Krugger reacts to recent up-close and personal videos about Jacob Fatu, saying that he’s not a monster anymore… The feed is cut short before Mads can finish his promo. The main event is up next! Just last week ‘The Samoan Werewolf’ was hit in the head with a railroad spike, but continued to fight despite being heavily outnumbered. Can he fare better tonight?? Jacob Fatu vs. Daivari Quote Fatu wastes no time and destroys Daivari with high velocity moves! Spinning Wheel Kick, Hip Attack in the corner, a Pop Up Samoan Drop and a Standing Moonsault - Fatu is running riot! CONTRA soldiers surround the ring, and Josef Samael is yelling instructions… but ‘The Samoan Werewolf’ ignores them. HE BITES DAIVARI’S NOSE AND SPITS BLOOD AT HIS FORMER GUIDE! Samael loses his cool and demands an all out attack on Fatu, resulting in a disqualification finish! Jacob Fatu defeated Daivari in 07:29 by DQ after CONTRA swarmed the ring. [40/100] Fatu is holding his own and ragdolling Sentai soldiers with Samoan Spikes and Headbutts! Jacob is a lion swarmed by a pack of hyenas, but eventually even a beast like him will succumb to the numbers. Daivari smacks him in the back of the head with a kendo stick and then puts him in a Camel Clutch! Samael is spitting verbal abuse in the face of the fading ex-champion, but here comes Cesar Duran… He hates to interrupt the boys and all the violence they are bringing to the table, but something has to be done here. Duran smells money in this ‘civil war of CONTRA’ and unveils that Jacob Fatu will take on Mads Krugger at Blood and Thunder in a… FIRST BLOOD MATCH! This announcement takes the mastermind of CONTRA by surprise, and gives Fatu a chance to break free and clear the ring from black and yellow orcs. Samael ducks a kendo stick shot and Fatu is chasing him out of the arena to close the show!! But wait, there’s more! We close the show with footage from the press-conference held by CRASH Lucha Libre! Alexander Hammerstone, our MLW World Heavyweight champion, is sitting next to Bandido. ‘The Most Wanted’ luchador has three times more gold - holding ROH, PWG, and CRASH world titles! All the photographers are working their cameras to capture the best possible photo of the triple champion, and all journalists are interrupting each other to ask Bandido some questions. Hammer tries his best to answer one single question in Spanish, but before he can force it out, Bandido grabs his belt and says it will belong to him after Blood and Thunder!! Hammerstone grabs his belt back and warns Bandido not to push him. The luchador claps Alex on the chest, as if he just made a joke, and offers Hammerstone a handshake… but pulls the hand away and forms it in a shooting gesture! Alex smirks and promises to introduce the guy to the Nightmare Pendulum this Sunday. Good night everybody!

Blodyxe Posted August 31, 2022 Author Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) MLW Blood and Thunder Preview Tijuana Street Fight for Azteca Underground Trios Titles Los Parks (c) vs. 5150 (w/Konnan) Cesar Duran made his return just last week, but immediately added a few blockbuster matches to the card, such as a Tijuana Street Fight between Trios champions Los Parks and hungry challengers 5150! This will be the first time Konnan’s unit will fight for the gold in MLW, and judging from the pre-match trash talk, they are walking into that bout with all the confidence in the world. The skeletons will undoubtedly have a home turf advantage, with Mexican ‘renegades’ treating them as national heroes. Then again, Blood and Thunder is co-produced by K-Dawg, so he can throw a monkey wrench in the works if he feels like it. 5150 has the momentum after beating Injustice at the War Chamber event last month! Mystery Challenge Texano vs. Cesar’s Choice The boss let Texano know that he didn’t forgive ‘The Blue Collar Brawler’ for giving him a blackeye a few weeks ago. Texano is a prideful man, so when Duran looked to embarrass him by forcing the man to wipe his shoes for a few measly dollars, the former AAA Mega champion showed that he’s not afraid to stand his ground and humble the main man. Famous B’s client survived an ambush in the bar, throwing around Cesar’s lackeys with ease, but Duran promised that soon Texano will feel ‘the wrath of the Gods’! Who could Cesar be talking about? Three-Way To The Grave Match Savio Vega vs. King Muertes vs. Ivelisse There will be no shortage of violence this Sunday, as Salina de la Renta booked an infamous ‘Three Way To The Grave’ match involving Ivelisse, Savio Vega, and King Muertes! Savio has a long rivalry with different de la Renta’s clients, Ivelisse naturally confronted Salina about being bossy and bitchy, and Muertes joined Cesar Duran's group after his henchmen kidnapped and threatened ‘La Bruja’, betraying the woman that brought him back to life. This is a great match for Salina - two of her rivals will be shipped as ‘Cargo 200’ to the coast of Puerto Rico. But whoever comes out of this match alive will challenge Low Ki for a Caribbean title showdown at the season finale event! ‘The Professional’ Low Ki will be watching this one closely... MLW Women’s Champion vs. CRASH Femenil Champion Marina Shafir vs. Chik Tormenta There were a few late additions to the Blood and Thunder card, setting up a bunch of inter-promotional title matches. One of them involves Marina Shafir, who promised to show why she’s the baddest woman in all of wrestling. Now we are hearing that she will fight Chik Tormenta, CRASH Femenil champion! Tormenta can take a punch and stretch anyone out, but she comes into this exhibition match as a heavy underdog. Bookies predict an easy victory for ‘The Supernova from Moldova’, but as we found out at Fusion, upsets can happen! CRASH Tag Team Title Match Angelico and Matt Cross vs. Bestia 666 and Mechawolf (c) A favor from the boss, or a trap? Angelico and Matt Cross have been feuding with La Rebellion Amarilla for a few months, and so far, they have had no opportunity to get a fair shot at the demonic duo. Cross was laid out by the barbed wire bat to the back, Angelico almost suffocated in the coffin, and Ivelisse decided to stop siding with her old partners to avoid the Tijuana Terror. The evil tag team will be forced to defend their CRASH tag team titles here, something they would like to avoid. Losing in their home promotion would be seen as a shameful thing, since Damian 666 is promised to make an appearance at the supershow… You do not want to disappoint 'La Bestia de Apocalipsis' in his own house if you're Bestia 666! First Blood Match Mads Krugger (w/CONTRA) vs. Jacob Fatu ‘The Samoan Werewolf’ broke out from CONTRA and went to war with the black and yellow soldiers all on his own. In the past few weeks Fatu has destroyed Ikuro Kwon and chewed Daivari’s nose off, trying to get to ‘The Black Hand’ Mads Krugger in a one on one match. During one of the ambushes, Jacob got hit with a railroad spike to the head, which awakened a beast inside the already scary Samoan. Cesar Duran gushed all over the prospect of CONTRA's civil war and arranged a fitting stipulation between two of the meanest fighters in MLW… a First Blood match! In order to win, you only have to bust your opponent open, a doable task for Krugger, given that he will be backed by the international cabal of violence! MLW National Openweight Title Match Calvin Tankman vs. Alex Kane Tankman and Kane have been at each other’s throats since coming into the league. While Calvin had spent a bit more time in the MLW locker room, both he and Alex are considered as ‘the new blood’ who still have to prove their worth. Calvin is a super heavyweight with a record of impressive fights, and Alex is a freak athlete who can suplex anyone he pleases, which he proved by breaking the ring with Tankman’s body back at War Chamber! Now ‘The Heavyweight Hustle’ meets ‘The Suplex Assassin’, in a good old ‘unstoppable force meets immovable object’ battle. Who will be crowned the new MLW Openweight champion, and be earmarked as ‘the next big thing’ in MLW? And will AR Fox or Myron Reed interfere? CRASH Cruiserweight Champion vs. MLW Middleweight Champion Demonic Flamita vs. Myron Reed No such thing as too many interpromotional battles! In what promises to be a match of the night, ‘The Young G.O.A.T.’ Myron Reed will take on Demonic Flamita, a luchador with scorching offense and hot temper. Myron has a history of facing other great luchadors, like Laredo Kid and Drago, so meeting Flamita will not be something entirely new for the two time MLW Middleweight champion. Flamita will be trying his damndest to leave the shadow of his more successful tag team partner, Bandido, and things will get heated in this bout! Ten Man Tag Team Match ?/Samuray del Sol, Aramis, Laredo Kid/? vs. ?/Juventud Guerrera, Arez, Psicosis/? No lucha libre event is complete without a multi-man tag team contest! Ten of the best luchadores in the game will wow the audience and try to impress the fans, with Laredo Kid, Aramis and Samuray del Sol confirmed to compete in the technico corner. For the rudos, we can confirm the participation of Arez, Psicosis and Juventud Guerrera. Mexicools have lost Super Crazy after ‘The Sacrifice To The Gods’ and will look to win this match to get a shot at the Trios champions, whether that will be Los Parks or 5150. A few additional spots in the match remain a mystery, with MLW and CRASH bosses choosing to keep their cards close to the chest. Surprise appearances by some local stars would surely give the fans a reason to chant harder... MLW World Heavyweight Champion vs. CRASH Heavyweight Champion Alexander Hammerstone vs. Bandido The main event. The cream of the crop. The match people will pay big bucks to see live! It is a historic bout involving Alexander Hammerstone, the face of MLW, and Bandido, a champion in CRASH, Ring of Honor and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla! Two competitors had a face-to-face meeting at the press conference to end the recent Fusion episode, with ‘The Most Wanted’ seemingly taking a small victory when it comes to mind games. Alex brushed this notion off and promised to introduce Bandido to The Nightmare Pendulum - a move that floored bigger men! This one can go either way, but one thing is for sure, USA-loving Hammerstone will not be welcome in Tijuana, and local fans will be pulling hard for one of the biggest stars in Mexico! MLW Blood and Thunder Prediction Key Alexander Hammerstone vs. Bandido 5150 vs. Los Parks Myron Reed vs. Demonic Flamita Ivelisse vs. Savio Vega vs. King Muertes Calvin Tankman vs. Alex Kane Aramis, Samuray del Sol, Laredo Kid, ???, ??? vs. Psicosis, Juventud, Arez, ???, ??? Mads Krugger vs. Jacob Fatu Matt Cross and Angelico vs. La Rebellion Amarilla Chik Tormenta vs. Marina Shafir Texano vs. ???
