Blodyxe Posted August 18, 2023 Author Share Posted August 18, 2023 MLW Azteca Underground Episode #19 - Matador De Toros Taped for El Rey Network in Tijuana Aired on Week 3, January 2022 Announce Team: Famous B, Matt Striker and Konnan Welcome back, believers! Last week Aerostar picked up an Aztec Medallion in a match against Psicosis, Black Taurus ran over the team of Famous B and Mascarita Sagrada, and most importantly, Bandido made a proposition to Cesar Duran. If ‘El Jefe’ books ‘The Most Wanted’ in a title rematch against Alex Hammerstone, he will get his stolen money back! The boss did not budge and instead decided to put the luchador in a tough match with his new pet monster… Black Taurus! Cesar also promised to get back on Famous B associates Texano and Dr.Wagner Jr. Konnan, Famous B and Matt Striker are on commentary, and K-Dawg uses his mic time to shout out 5150 who have won the IWA Puerto Rico tag team titles last week. The party time is over though, as Boogie and Rivera are heading to Texas. Nevermind 5150, because we have an opener to present - Juventud Guerrera vs. Drago! Aztec Medallion Match Juventud Guerrera vs. Drago Two experienced luchadors kick Azteca off, and ‘the renegades’ are firmly on the side of the tongue-slurping Drago. He combines slick lucha moves with swift kicks, while ‘The Juice’ is very vocal and uses every shortcut in the book to get the upper hand. He gets a bit too cocky and almost gets caught with a Dragon’s Tail for three, but Psicosis helps his amigo kick out. Frustrated Drago takes the rudo out with a Corkscrew Splash, and then Guerrera uses the distraction to hit Drago low and deliver a Juvi Driver to score the pinfall and steal the Medallion! Quote 💀 Juventud Guerrera def. Drago in 08:21 by pinfall with a Juvi Driver after blatantly cheating. (48/100) Psicosis takes a pair of Drago’s nunchucks to have his revenge for last week, but Aerostar returns the favor to his friend by saving the day! He makes sure Drago doesn’t get injured, but arrives to late to help his amigo to join him in the ladder match. The contract signing between King Muertes and Low Ki is lined up for next week! Salina de la Renta and Catrina will corner their men and things might get ugly between ‘The Man of 1000 Deaths’ and ‘The Professional’! Contract signing never end well. Meanwhile Cesar Duran is sitting down with Jordan Oliver, the problem child of MLW. The boss says Jordan has been a pain in everyone’s backside for a bit now, informing the young man that his foul language demonetized a bunch of their YouTube videos. If that wasn’t enough, Jordan also lost to Alex Kane. Oliver squeaks that he lost to Kane only because of AR Fox! Cesar: And what are you going to do about it, huh? You going to cry about it? Jordan: Nah… I can take him out for good if you give me the chance! I know Fox has been making your life hard too, so why don’t you put us two in a match!? Cesar: That’s the first time I’ve heard something smart from you. I know you’re a bit of a ‘wild thing’ and you have a stupidly high pain tolerance, but getting Fox in that ring will be tough. That’s why you’re going to fight him in a Falls Count Anywhere match on Fusion! And if you fail me… well, I’ll put you in the ‘Budget Cut Battle Royal’ on the next big show. Now get out of my office, punk! Oliver is two seconds away from lashing out on the boss, but he keeps his temper for now. A pre-taped promo from Los Parks addresses the emerging trio of Laredo Kid, Aramis and Samuray del Sol! Papa Park has notched a big win for his unit last week when he pinned Laredo, and now he oversees his sons running the drills in the backyard ring. He gives his offsprings some tough love, and claims that the Trios titles will stay with La Familia Real, and the mortals stand no chance against the undead. L.A. Park calls himself the most valuable player in MLW, and claims that Psycho Clown will never reach his level of international fame, no matter how many gimmicks he gives out to american children on his way to the ring. ‘The Chairman’ takes a sip of the beer and tells the gringo cameraman to get the hell out of his house now. We’re back in Tijuana and the ring is occupied by Famous B, Texano and Dr. Wagner Jr - the three members of Infamous Inc! ‘Mr. 423-Get-Fame’ says that Cesar doesn’t want to squash their beef, he doesn’t want to settle out of court, and he keeps screwing his guys over for pay! That’s why Famous B has no other choice but to stand up and stick it to the man!! Texano and Wagner are ready to take over the show, but here comes the main man… Cesar Duran steps out of his office with a mic and a little bag in his hand. The boss hypes up the main event of the evening, promising that Black Taurus will break every bone in Bandido’s body, and then addresses the elephant in the room. ‘So what are you going to do? Form a union!? Hahaha! Crushing your little group of mercenaries would be too easy. All I have to do is put a little wedge between you greedy dogs!’’ Boss empties the little bag, flips the Medallion with his finger so it falls in the middle of the ring. Now both fighters have a tense ‘Mexican standoff’, both wanting to get their hands on the medallion. Famous B tries to act as a mediator and pick it up for himself, but both men lariat him out of the ring! Ring the bell!! Aztec Medallion Match Dr. Wagner Jr. vs. El Texano Jr. The bell rings and the brawlers circle around, sizing each other up. Texano is the beefier man, but Dr. Wagner has more experience. Texano takes control and starts to punish Dr. Wagner with a series of stiff chops and kicks. Dr. Wagner is not the man who will pull his punches either, so he returns the favor with a perfect Dropkick for two. They exchange blows, and the fight is getting more and more intense, as they go to the outside. Both men are trading shots among ‘the renegades’ and neither competitor wants to give up an inch. Texano thinks about using his bull rope on ‘The Bad Doctor’ but he’s stopped by Famous B, who asks Texano to go easy. Wagner seizes the opportunity and cracks Texano in the back of the head, then pulls his tights to get the tainted win and get an Aztec Medallion! Quote 💀 Dr. Wagner Jr. def. Texano Jr. in 07:10 by pinfall with a roll up (61/100) Wagner celebrates with the prize and goes ‘bien-bien-bien’ while Texano is itching to hit Famous B with a haymaker for costing him a win! He really wants to slap the heck out of the loudmouth manager, but decides against it and storms to the back. Everyone is surprised to see this reaction from a man with the short temper… So far, four people got their hands on the ancient Aztec Medallions - Aerostar, Juventud Guerrera, Dr. Wagner Jr and also Matt Cross, who was given the item by the boss. Three more places are up for grabs. Who will join the ladder match and become the new Gift of the Gods champion at SuperFight? Next week the Azteca brand returns to Puerto Rico, where the rest of the field will be decided because ‘Caribbean Cool’ Carlito takes on The Amazing Red and Angelico locks up with ‘The Son of The Demon’ Bestia 666. A well put video recaps all the destruction Black Taurus has brought to Azteca brand recently. Under the guidance of the boss, the black bull has destroyed everyone who was put in his path. Tonight Taurus faces a tricky opponent in Bandido, and he would like nothing more but to unleash his rage on the enemy of his new master. Texano is about to bust a door to the locker room, but the whistle from the far end of the corridor stops him in his tracks. It is Bandido… the man has his problems with Duran too, so it makes sense for them to work together. Texano asks why should he trust him? Bandido reminds the brute that it was him who helped Texano escape from the underground prison. ‘The Blue Collar Worker’ owes Bandido a favor now, and they could call it even if he assists him against Black Taurus tonight… one hand washes the other? Texano spits on the ground and enthusiastically shakes Bandido’s hand, it is a deal. As they go in opposite directions, Demonic Flamita steps out of the shadows. He was eavesdropping! And now it is time for the main event. Singles Match Black Taurus w/Cesar Duran vs. Bandido It doesn’t get much bigger than this for the local renegades! Tijuana is blessed with elite level lucha libre tonight. Taurus is charging at Bandido with fury, and seeing this beast run so fast and be so agile is quite scary. Bandido relies on his speed and agility to counter the offense, and after a few minutes the match breaks down into a series of high flying spots. Taurus hits a crazy Tornillo Suicida, and Bandido responds with a Snap Posionrana on the floor. They trade high risk moves back and forth from the top rope too, and the crowd is going wild! Cesar Duran tells Taurus to cut the crap and start punishing Bandido. The monster obliges and hits a powerbomb, a spinebuster, and a nasty backbreaker on the fan favorite! Bandido is in trouble, but he finds the energy to make a comeback and hit a series of his own signature moves, resulting in a close 2 count after a Frog Splash! Something has to give… Duran wants the bull to finish the job, and instructs the referee to count faster. Taurus hits Bandido with a right hand and goes for a Taurus Driver, but the legs of the ‘Most Wanted’ catch the official! Cesar gets a chair and wants to throw it into the ring, but he’s stopped from behind by Texano! The Mexican yanks the chair so hard that ‘El Jefe’ falls to the ground, then SMACKS the bull in between the horns!! Bandido seizes the opportunity and hits a 21 Plex on the monster, and the ref slowly counts to three to hand Taurus his first pinfall loss in MLW!! Quote 💀 Bandido def. Black Taurus in 13:53 by pinfall with a 21 Plex after a run in by Texano. (68/100) Bandido overcomes the wrath of the monster thanks to Texano, who puts his hat on and leaves. Cesar Duran is seething, and Bandido asks for a mic. The subtitles are added in post production to help those who don’t understand Spanish. “You had the opportunity to cut your losses, El Jefe. But your pride cost you once again… If you don’t want to give me a rematch, I know just a man who will grant my wish. Hammerstone! I will be watching your match with great interest this week. Defend your title and bring it to SuperFight, because I want a fistful of dollars and another golden belt around my waist!” Bandido salutes the fans, drops the smoke bomb, and vanishes when the fog of war settles. The man has stated his intentions… and he will be watching the triple threat between Mads Krugger, Alex Hammerstone and Jacob Fatu happening later this week. Good night everybody!

Blodyxe Posted August 18, 2023 Author Share Posted August 18, 2023 After The Show… Cesar Duran sips some bourbon and looks over the spending sheet for the event. He is not the type of boss to pinch every penny, but even he starts to take notice of how bad the finances are looking at the moment. He has been very aggressive with his expansion strategy, holding little shows in Mexico that draw about 150 people despite having some of the biggest lucha libre stars on the card. Lack of promotion and marketing? Lack of long-term planning? Is he burning all this money for nothing? Naaaah… It’s the renegades who are wrong! They do not appreciate the genius of ‘El Jefe’! Nobody said being a chairman is an easy job, and priority number one is to fix the Azteca balance, preferable without the help of the Mexican drug cartel. First thing to fix is the contracts of some of the biggest guys on the roster. Exhibit number one… the MLW original, the Trios champion, the ‘Man Of A Thousand Bones’ L.A. Park! Might need to take another sip of the strong one after seeing those numbers. L.A. Park is undoubtedly a legend, an original, one of the most recognizable luchadors in the history of the business. But is he worth almost 4.5K for a slapdash promo from his backyard? He’s flabby, his in-ring ability and physicals are declining, and worst of all, he has 40 years in the business, so he knows his worth and then some. The brain is telling ‘El Jefe’ to cut the legend from the roster, but the heart still remembers that L.A. Park is an elite brawler, he can have a kickass hardcore match, he’s entertaining as hell and he keeps the young guns in check too. Does it make sense to give Park a different kind of deal? Offer him a written contract worth almost 9K a month, but really use him till the very end, like a bar of soap? 9K might seem too much, but if MLW will use him more than three times a month, it will save the money. Here’s another thing to consider - Park is here with his sons, who are much cheaper, but would react badly if his papa was upset. They are the current Trios champions too! This is tough. Cesar decides to leave the L.A Park file on the table and inspect Psycho Clown. He’s charging $6,200 per show… Dios mio! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blodyxe Posted August 21, 2023 Author Share Posted August 21, 2023 MLW Fusion #154 Preview Get ready for an explosive episode of MLW Fusion! We're coming at you with an unconventional backyard clash between Jordan Oliver and AR Fox, as they're bringing the fight to a setting where anything goes. Oliver needs this win to stabilize his place in the league, but AR Fox is a tough nut to crack. In a tag team encounter that promises chaos and mayhem, the street-smart crew of 5150 will face off against the rough-and-tumble duo of The Dirty Blondes. Slice Boogie and Danny Rivera have captured the IWA tag titles last week, and they’ll look to take that momentum with them against the underperforming tag team of Leo O’Brien and Mike Patrick. In the semi main event the stage is set for hometown hero ACH to take on the self-proclaimed "Most Marketable Man in Professional Wrestling," Richard Holliday. ACH aims to shine in front of his adoring crowd, showcasing his incredible athleticism and heart. But Holliday's not one to play fair, and he'll stop at nothing to steal the victory. Both men crashed out of the Opera Cup early, so this will be a rebound match for both and a chance to prove their credentials in the company. Finally, the dominant Alex Hammerstone has his championship on the line against the unrelenting force of Jacob Fatu and the monstrous Mads Krugger. With the gold at stake, the ring will become a battleground for supremacy. Who will walk out as the reigning World Champion, and who will be left in the wreckage of this epic encounter? Tune in to MLW Fusion for an unforgettable night of action-packed wrestling!

Blodyxe Posted August 22, 2023 Author Share Posted August 22, 2023 MLW Fusion Episode #154 Taped for Vice TV in Mid South Aired on Week 3, January 2022 Announce Team: Dave Prazak, Rich Bocchini and Jared Saint-Laurent Pre-Show EJ Nduka def. Daivari in 03:46 by pinfall with an Nduka Bomb. Rok-C def. Miranda Gordy in 04:12 by pinfall with a Meteora. Despite the show being held in Texas, we start the broadcast with footage coming straight from Atlanta! More specifically, the WWA4 Academy. Why? Because AR Fox is preparing his protege Alex Kane for a Last Man Standing match against ‘The Indestructible' MLW National Openweight champion Calvin Tankman. Fox is a cardio monster, and he puts Kane through a wringer. ‘The Suplex Assassin’ takes a series of bumps, and then he is tasked to perform overhead suplexes on some heavy punching bags. This training is not that different from a boot camp, and Fox yells orders like a typical drill instructor. “C’mon Kane, give me another suplex! One more… triple! Hard in training, easy in battle!” The WWA4 academy students also perform some rolls in the background, and the teacher graciously gives them a few minutes of rest to go puff a smoke outside. As soon as Fox leaves the shed he is attacked from behind by Jordan Oliver! He has an MLW official with him, but he can’t capitalize on his Pearl Harbor attack immediately as AR Fox fights on! Falls Count Anywhere Match Jordan Oliver vs. AR Fox When you think about it, Jordan has a few good reasons to hate AR Fox. First of all, Fox has left the Injustice short in their War Games match against LAX. Secondly, Oliver blames ‘The One Man Army’ on his soured relationship with Myron Reed. Lastly, Jordan needs to get back in the good favors of Cesar Duran to save his place in MLW. Beating an indy veteran who is in a cold war with the boss is a good way to prove your value! The guys are using their backyard background to treat MLW fans to some innovative spots. Fox hits a Rebound Moonsault off the tree, and Oliver hits a Springboard Cutter from the trampoline for a close near fall! The students start wondering where is their coach, and upon seeing the backyard brawl they join in on the fun. Of course they are all taking turns to hit Oliver. The field is stacked against Jordan, but he lands a Double Cutter on the lads and a Stunner too. He’s all hyped up, asking who else wants a piece of ‘Big Breakfast’!?? Alex Kane! ‘The Suplex Assassin’ grabs Jordan from behind and hits an Olympic Slam on the picnic table! AR Fox has climbed on the roof of his training school and he signals for the Coup de Grace… The Swanton Bomb from the heavens!! INSANE! The MLW referee has no choice but to count to three and award the victory to AR Fox. Quote AR Fox def. Jordan Oliver in 08:39 by pinfall with a Swanton Bomb off the roof. (55/100) AR Fox looks to be in top condition for the Triple Threat match against Demonic Flamita and MLW Middleweight champion Myron Reed. He jerks his arm away from the ref, who’s quickly thrown out of WWA4 property along with Jordan Oliver. You can they have been kicked to the curb… foreshadowing for ‘The Sauce God’? Cesar threatened to put him in a ‘Budget Cut’ Battle Royal, after all. Thankfully, the swearing of the angry young man is bleeped out, as this was a pre-taped match. After the backyard brawl we get a little video showcasing Ross and Marshall Von Erichs donating the historic World Class Championship Wrestling title belt to the University of North Texas. The family heirloom, with a title lineage dating back to 1966, will be put on display for fans to see free of charge in Dallas. The MLW tag team champions pose for a commemorative photo alongside university leadership and world champ Alex Hammerstone. Hammer is defending his title in a big triple threat match tonight! The new MLW backstage interviewer Sam Laterna catches up with Alex Hammerstone, and asks him his immediate thoughts on the main event. “Sam, I’ve fought against the odds many times before. I smashed multiple CONTRA soldiers on my own. I have eliminated that big goof Mads Krugger from the Battle Riot. Then I used the title shot to beat one of the greatest MLW champions ever in Jacob Fatu, and I did it with an ankle injury! The odds mean nothing to me, because no matter how many obstacles are in my way, I will keep knocking them down with my 24.5 inch pythons!! Fatu, Krugger, so whatcha gonn--” Alex got carried away here, but he stops as soon as Richard Holliday and Alicia Atout approach him in the corridor. You can cut the tension between them with a knife, but Holliday can’t miss the opportunity to mock Hammerstone for parroting Hulk Hogan. “Really, dude? Quite honestly, this is embarrassing even for you. I mean, how did I tolerate this stupidity before? Quoting Hulk Hogan in 2022, wow. I’m glad I’ve dropped your orange ass from The Dynasty. I only feel bad for not doing it earlier… but it’s okay. Because this year will be MY year, and this title belt will also be in MY hands. Only a matter of time!” Hammerstone smirks and says that he’s surprised to see Richard approach him face to face, and not jump him from behind like he did on the Xmas Eve. Ah no, he brought his little friend with him as a human shield. The former ‘Interview Queen’ rolls her eyes… “I mean, it’s only up from here for you, buddy. Hard to win ‘The Flop of The Year’ twice in a row. So yeah, keep working towards your New Year resolutions, maybe we will meet in the ring when your match record will be a… net positive. Good luck!” Hammerstone cracked Sam Laterna with his ‘net positive’ remark and walked away to warm up for the main event. Holliday got stung pretty good, and he storms off, leaving Alicia one on one with Sam. Atout looks disgusted with her ‘substitution’. An up close and personal video about Jacob Fatu! It reveals a bit more about his character, how he entered the business and how respectful he is of the sacrifices made by his family members. Up next is the tag team match! Col. Robert Parker doesn’t look too pleased managing this group, who have been slobbing away in catering instead of hitting the gym. Konnan displays a different set of emotions while leading his street dogs to the fight pit. He looks confident, maybe a bit stoned even, can’t tell because of the sunglasses. Ring the bell! Tag Team Match Dirty Blondes w/Colonel Parker vs. 5150 w/Konnan Danny Rivera runs circles around the rednecks, mocks their physique while showcasing his own. ‘Radioactive Papi’ is always in the mood to play with your feelings. He’s the flashiest guy in the ring by far, but Slice Boogie also gets his chance to shine. The big man from NYC lays out both rednecks with power moves, acting like he’s the meanest son of a gun in the whole Texas. Colonel Parker wipes the sweat off his forehead, he he demands more from his clients. Sadly for them, 5150 has this in the bag with a 456 Headcrack finish on Leo O’Brien. Quote 5150 def. The Dirty Blondes in 06:21 by pinfall with a (41/100) Colonel berates his tag team, but his mood gets even worse when Rivera steals his hat and runs with it around the ring. The old school manager is two seconds away from being canceled for his reaction, but Konnan covers it up by greeting la raza. K-Dawg hypes up his squad and says that while Von Erichs are donating titles, 5150 is winning them. They captured one set of belt in Puerto Rico, and at SuperFight they will get the MLW gold too… Slice Boogie and Danny Rivera antagonize the Texas crowd using a few derogatory words and promise to rough up their golden boys! They’ll get their attention one way or another. “Von Erichs, we’re serious like a late period, comprende? We are the best team in the league, and SuperFight will be our coronation moment. ARRIBA LA RAZA!” The gang leaves the building, and it feels like they are not done for the day just yet. The production team calls us backstage, as someone has been jumped from behind! A bunch of paramedics circle around a big frame of the victim... Is that Big Damo!? ‘The Beast of Belfast’ it is! This is an unusual sight, as nobody in MLW had the nerve to confront the powerhouse. Damo staggers to his feet and pushes the medics away, whoever did this to him will pay the price. Logic suggests that Cesar’s lucha minions were the culprits, but the number advantage didn’t help them before. Either they are getting smarter, or it was someone else. Damo was planning to watch the main event, but this attack changes his plans. Speaking of the main event, Jacob Fatu is pacing back and forth, hyping himself up for the three-way dance. He was planning to get his title back once he was done with Mads Krugger, but it looks like the ‘Samoan Werewolf’ is getting his rematch sooner! ‘CONTRA!! Ain’t nothing you could do to me, ya hear me? I’ve seen it all, and I’ve done it all - nothing can phase me, big dawg. You can bring all your little black and yellow soldiers, the outcome will still be the same - Jacob Fatu as the new world champ!’ Now let’s get back to the ring, where the homeboy ACH will take on Richard Holliday. It promises to be a solid semi main event, as both men will try their hardest to bounce back after their underwhelming Opera Cup performances. Singles Match ACH vs. Richard Holliday Holliday showcases his newfound mean streak and ACH keep being his good old athletic self. Richard is resorting to all kinds of underhanded tactics and keeps working over ACH’s right leg. He’s keeping the fan favorite grounded, but ACH is no pushover. He's displaying his incredible heart and determination, fighting through the pain and mounting a comeback. With every strike and every counter, he's showing Holliday that he won't be taken down easily. ACH manages to rally the crowd and hit a series of explosive moves. He goes for a 450 Splash, but Holliday grabs the ropes, causing ACH to crash and burn on the mat! Holliday seizes the opportunity and locks in a Figure 4, looking to get a submission victory. With sheer determination, ACH manages to crawl towards the ropes, using every ounce of his strength to break the hold! Despite Holliday's cheating ways, ACH's never-say-die attitude has left an indelible mark on this match. As the final moments approach, ACH unleashes a flurry of offense that has the entire arena on their feet! But unfortunately, as ACH goes for a big Frog Splash, Holliday pulls up his knees, knocking the wind out of his opponent. ACH clutches his ribs and walks in straight into a 2008! Holliday covers ACH for the three count! Quote Richard Holliday def. ACH in 08:29 by pinfall with a 2008. (51/100) Holliday asks for a mic from Alicia Atout after the bell. Richard says that his Opera Cup shortcomings were all due to Hammerstone and jet lags… he’s the longest serving member of this company, a top athlete, and this year everyone will know why he’s ‘The Most Marketable’! He will become the world champion in 2022, and he will do anything, literally anything to achieve his goals. Richard’s little promo is interrupted by EJ Nduka. ‘The Judge’ is a physical specimen, a hot prospect, and someone who’s rubbing shoulders with Hammerstone in the gym. EJ: Richard, hold on. We have fought in the War Chamber together and won, so I respect you… and that’s exactly why I came out here to confront you, to call you on some BS you are spouting here. Alex is the champ for a reason, fam, he’s been putting the work and he’s been an inspiration for me and others in that locker room. His work ethic is second to none. And It seems to me like you’re jealous of Hammer’s success, and this hate is blurring your vision… Holliday: That’s really cute, EJ. You can call yourself ‘The Judge’, but all I see is a kissass, a failed football player who chose pro wrestling as a Plan B. Just like Hammerstone, you have the look, but you have no idea what makes a real pro wrestler. So yeah, I don’t need an intervention from someone who wants to carry Hammerstone’s bags. EJ Nduka does not take kindly to those words and says he plans to become the world champion this year too, so it makes sense for them to square up and find out who’s the real deal, and who’s “all talk and no walk”. Holliday swiftly says ‘No’ and leaves the area. EJ Nduka helps ACH get up, but his eyes are set on ‘The Most Marketable’. Coming up next is the main event of the evening… a triple threat title match between Alex Hammerstone, Jacob Fatu and Mads Krugger. Before the match itself, ‘The Black Hand of CONTRA’ has a message to Alexander and Jacob. Mads Krugger talks about the smell of fear being around us and it’s intoxicating. Krugger says that he battled both Hammerstone and Fatu, and he knows how to take them down. Tonight, he finishes his mission and the last thing they will see is the Black Hand holding the world heavyweight title. He adds ‘Hail Krugger’ to end the promo, a subtle change from the usual ‘HAIL CONTRA’ message parroted by Josef Samael. Where is he, by the way? Just before the main event can start we get a special guest commentator. Richard Holliday has changed into his suit now and he joins the desk, wasting no time to make snide comments about his former brochacho Alex Hammerstone. Jacob Fatu makes his entrance first. He has ditched the leopard printed pants, instead wearing an all black outfit. He awaits on the arrival of Mads Krugger, but instead he sees Josef Samael waving the flag on the top of the ramp. Surely a distraction? Fatu is impatient, so he leaves the ring to walk into a charge from Krugger, who emerges from the crowd! The former CONTRA brethrens are fighting among the fans, and here comes the world champ! MLW World Heavyweight Championship Match Alexander Hammerstone (c) vs. Mads Krugger vs. Jacob Fatu Hammerstone is not the guy to shy away from a good fight, and we’re starting this match hot! A three way brawl on the ramp is wild and chaotic, and each competitor gets some time to shine. Hammerstone lariats Jacob into the ring, Krugger chokes Alex with a CONTRA flag, and finally Fatu takes them both out with a Frosbury Flop!! We need a replay of that beauty… just watch this man go over the top rope! Fatu and Hammer have some mutual respect, so they double team Krugger to get some time alone. Now Alex and Jacob are going at it against each other… Hammerstone hits a belly-to-belly overhead suplex before Fatu comes back with a uranage and a springboard moonsault for a two count! Krugger comes in and hits a Double Chokeslam, encouraged by Josef Samael! The mastermind of CONTRA starts throwing some weapons inside the ring, they are perfectly legal in a triple threat match. Mads punishes former and current world champions with heavy chairshots, dominating the contest for a few minutes. Eventually Fatu and Alex start to fight back, taking turns to hit Mads. Hammerstone picks the giant for a Delayed Suplex, but Fatu says ‘screw that’ and puts them both down with a Whisper in the Wind!! Krugger kicks out at two, Jacob almost reclaimed his title with this move! Hammerstone almost does the same when his signature Missile Dropkick catches Krugger who stumbles back and catches Fatu on his way down. Hammerstone with a TKO on Jacob, but he kicks out! This is a really close contest, and Krugger gets his near fall too after he catches Alex with a Reverse Chokeslam! Fatu gets a chair and goes on a rampage against his opponents! He places the chair on Hammerstone in the corner, grabs another chair, and hits a coast to coast with it for a two count!! Krugger comes in with a club and takes Fatu out with it, sending him to the outside. Mads grabs a wooden board from under the ring and sets it up in the corner. He wants to become the new champion so bad that he ignores Samael’s warning. Hammerstone hulks up and hits Mads with an overhead belly-to-belly but he doesn’t get the three because Richard Holliday runs in and breaks the cover!! Alex and Richard fight amongst themselves, and Jacob Fatu SPEARS Krugger through a wooden plank. He now goes on the top rope… SAMOAN SPLASH ON KRUGGER!! COVER! 1… 2… Josef Samael breaks the cover by hitting Fatu with a flag pole! Jacob sees red and chases the former mentor out of the ringside area like a rabid dog. Hammerstone overpowers Holliday on the outside and returns to the ring with Krugger on his last legs. Alex grabs him and hits the emphatic Nightmare Pendulum to retain!! Quote Alexander Hammerstone def. Mads Krugger and Jacob Fatu in 14:10 by pinfall with a Nightmare Pendulum. Alexander Hammerstone makes defence number 4 of his MLW World Heavyweight championship. (53/100) This was a wild main event, and Alex deserves to come out of it victorious. He finally got a clean cover on Krugger, and can now look forward to some fresh challengers. Hammerstone is celebrating on the top rope when he’s interrupted by the music of… Bandido! ‘The Most Wanted’ claps his hands and enters the ring to raise the arm of the world champion. Alex is not sure what to expect from the luchador, and he doesn’t get much time to process it because Cesar Duran makes his way to the ring. “Cut the music! Bandido, you’re nothing more than a weasel, a cheater! You could only beat Black Taurus with the help from outside. You and Hammerstone are the same! You will only get a title match over my dead body, you hear me!??” Bandido is amused with Cesar’s threats, he acts totally unafraid. Perhaps he has a trick up his sleeve? ‘The Most Wanted’ points at the screen behind Duran’s back, where we see a familiar face. Court Bauer, the former MLW boss is live! “Greetings, MLW fans! I have some big news to share with all of you. And you, Mister Duran, if this is even your real name. Well, let’s cut to the chase! Thanks to a generous donation from an unknown sponsor I was able to buy out the 50% stake of MLW. The board of directors have approved me as the lead matchmaker of the Fusion brand, and I’m happy to announce that at Superfight we will see a rematch between Alexander Hammerstone and Bandido!” Cesar Duran can not believe his ears and Bandido waves the boss goodbye. He has orchestrated the management switch to get a rematch, and Hammerstone doesn’t seem to mind. The fans are pleased too, but Bauer is not finished yet. “Also, given that Mads Krugger and Jacob Fatu have some unfinished business between each other, I think it is time to blow this civil war off. We’re going to finish CONTRA inside of a STEEL CAGE, where it all started! Additionally, if Jacob Fatu wins, he will get 5 minutes with Josef Samael. Thank you, MLW fans, I’ll see you soon!” Bauer drops a bombshell and goes offline, while Richard Holliday shakes his head in disbelief. We leave the arena for today, but before the show goes off air, we get to see one more thing. A white van is parked outside the University of North Texas. Three men in clown masks jump out with guns and baseball bats and make their way inside, beating security guards and innocent bystanders. The masked gang is running riot in this place and smash the glass panes, stuffing the bag with museum items. The perpetrators find the World Class Championship Wrestling title belt that was donated earlier this week by Von Erichs, and steal it too!! The episode ends with the police siren, criminals making an escape, and the white van screeching into the night. This was not just a robbery, but a heinous act of vandalism… Final Rating 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speculation has intensified due to recent reports suggesting that Cesar Duran is considering layoffs to streamline the company's budget. Jordan Oliver, a promising talent in the professional wrestling scene, has made his presence felt in MLW with his high-flying moves and charismatic persona. As multiple wrestlers contend in this bout, the stakes are high, with the winner potentially securing their position while those who fall short could face an uncertain future. Cesar Duran's alleged intention to implement cost-cutting measures has sent shockwaves throughout the MLW roster and fanbase alike. While the company's financial health is undoubtedly a priority, the potential loss of talents like Jordan Oliver has fans worried about the future direction of MLW's roster and programming. Wrestling enthusiasts are now eagerly awaiting official announcements to determine the outcome of this developing situation. Court Bauer Gains Fusion Control with Unknown Sponsor's Support In a stunning comeback that has sent shockwaves through the world of professional wrestling, Court Bauer has officially returned to Major League Wrestling with an announcement that is set to reshape the landscape of the promotion. Bauer, the creative force behind MLW in the past, has successfully secured a stake in the company, thanks in part to an undisclosed and generous donation from a ‘mysterious sponsor’. The news came alongside the board of directors' unanimous decision to appoint Bauer as the lead matchmaker of the Fusion brand, a position that holds immense influence over MLW's direction. Having been at the core of the promotion's inception and early growth, his creative vision and deep understanding of the wrestling world are seen as invaluable assets that could propel MLW to newer heights. Bauer expressed his gratitude to the unknown sponsor whose contribution made his return possible. Jacob Fatu and Mads Krugger Set for Decisive Cage Match Showdown! The long-standing rivalry between Jacob Fatu and Mads Krugger of Contra Unit is hurtling towards an explosive climax, as the two formidable forces are set to collide in a high-stakes cage match. The history between Fatu and Krugger has been one of escalating brutality and intensity. Krugger achieved a monumental victory over Fatu in a First Blood match held in Mexico, marking a pivotal moment in their feud. However, Fatu wasn't ready to be outdone, rebounding with a triumph in a Weapons of Mass Destructions match, proving his resilience and determination. With both competitors now standing at one victory each, the upcoming cage match will serve as the decisive rubber match. This battle isn't just about supremacy; it's a clash that carries significant bragging rights and a chance to settle the score once and for all. Adding a layer of intrigue to the match, a tantalizing stipulation looms. If Jacob Fatu emerges victorious, he will earn the opportunity to spend 5 minutes inside the steel cage with the enigmatic Josef Samael, a figurehead of Contra Unit. This potential encounter promises a cathartic release for Fatu, as he seeks retribution against the orchestrator of Contra's villainous actions. Hammerstone and Bandido II: Explosive Rematch on U.S. Soil The anticipation is building as Major League Wrestling gears up for a blockbuster rematch between reigning World Heavyweight Champion Alexander Hammerstone and the electrifying lucha libre sensation, Bandido. Following their encounter at Blood and Thunder that ended in a no contest due to the interference of Pagano, both competitors are poised for a clash that promises to be nothing short of spectacular, with the added twist of rumors and controversy surrounding their upcoming showdown. Adding a layer of intrigue to the mix are swirling rumors about Bandido's involvement in the return of MLW's creator, Court Bauer. Whispers suggest that the enigmatic sponsor behind Bauer's resurgence might actually be Bandido himself. Allegedly, ‘The Most Wanted’ managed to pull off an audacious feat, stealing the ransom money meant for Hammerstone from right under the nose of Cesar Duran. If these rumors hold true, Bandido's motives and influence within MLW take on an entirely new dimension. Meanwhile, Richard Holliday, who has been vocal about his grievances and his pursuit of championship gold, is reportedly considering legal action against what he perceives as an unjust situation. Holliday's frustration stems from the belief that he deserves a title shot, and he may see this rematch as an obstacle to his own ambitions. Von Erichs' Donation of World Class Championship Wrestling Belt Taken in Daring Heist A treasured piece of wrestling history took a shocking turn this week as the World Class Championship Wrestling title belt, generously donated by MLW World Tag Team Champions Von Erichs, was stolen from the University of North Texas in a brazen heist that has left the wrestling community in disbelief. The audacious robbery was carried out by perpetrators donning clown masks and armed with a gun and baseball bats, plunging the investigation into a state of urgency. The stolen title belt, a symbol of wrestling heritage and legacy, was intended to be a part of a display honoring the illustrious history of World Class Championship Wrestling. The Von Erichs, who are synonymous with the legacy of WCCW, made the heartfelt donation in an effort to contribute to the preservation of wrestling history and culture. The audacity and violence of the robbery have sent shockwaves through Texas and the wrestling world at large. Local authorities are actively investigating the incident, expressing their determination to bring those responsible to justice. As the investigation unfolds, the question on everyone's minds remains: Who could be behind this daring theft? The use of clown masks and the display of weaponry have sparked wild speculation and theories among fans. Was this a targeted act of revenge or an attempt to send a message? Could it be a group with a grudge against wrestling history, or someone with an agenda against the Von Erichs themselves? As Texas authorities work tirelessly to uncover the truth and locate the stolen title belt, wrestling enthusiasts are left to wonder about the identity of the culprits and the motives that led to this audacious heist.
