HELL MONTH WEEK 2: MLW SLAUGHTERHOUSE

 580th post-20 posts out. 

I gave it my all this year, but sadly my 600th post will be sometime next year!

List of Champions-No Changes 

World's Mads Krule Kruger 

Openweight Blue Panther 

Middleweight Templario 

Tag The Skyscrapers (Dijak and Bishop Dyer)

Featherweight Shoko Nakajima.

A week after Fury Road and the Spread for this year's Opera Cup has being decided. And your next winner maybe Mistico, Paul london, Kojima....or a Sweaty Grandpa....or.....Zteve The Pirate...or Angry Turnip Eating Hack...or a guy who was Shoved down our throats in wwe....or a Guy who had a Brainfart during his match last week.

As of right now the Shift of Booking of Lucha Libre has being tilted on its head, as for months after getting A second Symbolic Key from a unlikely source, A Tequila Distiller called El Gato, so to be sweet on this new Rival, The House of Duran want to cooperate with this new rival, and If it means getting legless on free Liquor, then what's the harm?

Speaking of keys, The Keys have unlocked the Door to The Slaughterhouse, a night of Blood and gore and hard-core matches.

So same as always as it has being for 2 years now?

Hybrid Wrestling? 

What's That?

Chamber of Horrors match for the World's championship...A Throwback to The Worst of the Jim Herd Era of WCW. A weapon filled cage match with a Theme park Electric Chair in one corner. Winner to he determined by who ever pulls the lever to 'Electrocute" one of the opponents. Krule put the belt up in this match. Against Matthew Justice, CW and Brock Anderson, Mr Thomas and Chris Adonis, this match was hokey and terrible, has so much time past that we are now Nostalgic for even the Worst Content? Finish was CW being Shocked by Krule, after Sacrificing himself to save Brock 

Graveyard Shift with Shotzi Blackheart. whose guests are The Skyscrapers.  Shotzi and Bishop Dyer (Baron Corbin) really need to let go of what they learned in wwe, Dijak gets it he's an angry heel and most importantly, an Angry Adult man, Adult People Are allowed to Swear, if they are angry! Contra takes offence to the segment, and attacks the tag champs, as Shotzi who was probably drunk to begin with, schill Tequila. Promo on Screen shows a red haired woman at a bar drinking cocktails. It's  The "Tampon Girl" Priscilla Kelly. She wants Shotzi at Lucha de la Muertes next month. 

Announcement that Zandokan aka Zteve The Pirate is injured and Will he replaced by Star Jr.

Opera Cup quarter final 1: Star Jr vs Volador with Rugido and Magnus, Possibly to be tech support if VolaDuh's brain does another Blue Screen of Death. Flippies and Dippies ensue. When MLW leave for the east coast, this show was in Long Island, The appeal of Lucha is not there, and the crowd could not have cared less. Volador is in final 4.

Opera Cup Quarter Final 2: Bishop Dyer vs Satoshi Kojima with Okamura. Dyer put up a fight as Kojima did struggle, but once the four moves of doom hit, it's over. With 2 Lariot-Os, Satoshi Kojima qualifies.

Krule and Dijak continue fighting backstage 

Symphony of Horrors is 25th of October. Matches Confirmed are To be all the Quarter finals to be finalized tonight. So it's 2 weeks away, thankfully No longer a 4th week to This Hell Month.

Paul Walter Hauser comes out for Commentary for Austin Aries vs Paul London. Heel vs Heel, But given how much Damage Austin Did to himself for years. So the match starts with Austin Art Donovan on his Soapbox. Not because he has something to say, but he really is that Short! The match went too long with Spots so When the planned attack on Hauser at ringside happened, it took too long to get there, Austin Aries got in Hauser's face and distracted London who was prey from the Brainbuster.

After the match, PWH comes to console London, but Instead calls him out for politicking backstage. Turns out PWH was to be in War Chamber, But Matthew Justice took his place. Paul had a good line "I'm Sorry you are in MLW, And Not your Glory Days Having Squash Matches On Velocity!" 

These Don Gato Tequila adverts are getting more Stupid as they go on. The Weird looking mark sidekick for Danny McBride has an agrument with a cat and gets a hairball!

With nowhere else to go, Killer Kross Returns to MLW at Lucha de la Muertes in November 

Matt Riddle vs Hammerstone. More Boos This week! Having fake fights with TMZ reporters for clout would do that.

TMZ Posted this on their own account. If they feared for the Safety of Lenard from Big Bang Theory Looking ass #NOMEANSNOBRO Tossed around, they wouldn't have posted it!

Anyway like the match beforehand, the past transgressions done By one of the heels, made the other heel a face by proxy! A ref Bump happens and the match breaks down, with Dijak, Dyer and Kruger invade the ring to go into Business for themselves. Riddle low Blows Hammer as the Ref Stirs back to life. Riddle Wins and in the Promo Crashes out even further, This is just sad and for once, we can't even Blame the We*d for this!

Featherweight Championship Himawari vs Shoko Nakajima. We've seen Himawari before, she's the 5t foot girl who dresses like Bridemaid at hippy Commune Wedding! She Wrestled another Gimmick Joshi Schoolgirl Princess, The champion Shoko "Big Kaiju" Nakajima. So if we are booking based on power scaling The Gimmicks, of course Godzilla would beat a Bridesmaid!

Telenova Bullsh*t. Don Gato's Jewel Encrusted Knuckledusters are missing. And the Deal may be off if the House of Duran don't find them. RUH-ROH RAGGY! We have a mystery to solve!

Opera Cup Quarter final "Sweaty Grandpa " Ultimo Guerrero vs Mistico. Mistico went 10 minutes plus, Competitive with a broken down, Fat, Middle aged, Putz who has to hot-dog and preen every time he does a move, even if that move was the minimum of effort! And Mistico's Stint working with MJF, Showed he can't cut it working with Non-Mexican Wrestlers. They do a Lucha Match which Meant, you couldn't tell who was botching, or if a move they saw on a Cartoon and did it cause it looked awesome was supposed to look like that. So eventually And maybe because Ultimo lost the belt to someone even Older than him, But he got the message that he can't win every match he's booked in, mainly because of Mistico. Bad as he is, Is still over!

After the match Aries attacks Mistico. As we learnt, they will face each other at Symphony of Horrors. For them Later that night. For us, we will have to wait 3 weeks.

Next week, Hell Month Ends with the last WWE PLE I will review for this year, Crown Jewel Perth. before I Focus my Energies towards the Holiday season. So be Here in 7 days time as we let go of wwe in 2025 with a bang!

HELL MONTH 2025 WEEK 1: MLW FURY ROAD-DELICIOUS IS BREAD, THANK YOU!

 List of Champions-Update CHANGES IN CAPITALS 

WORLD'S: MADS KRULE KRUGER 

OPENWEIGHT: BLUE PANTHER SR

MIDDLEWEIGHT: TEMPLARIO 

Tag: The Skyscrapers (Dijak and Bishop Dyer)

Featherweight: Shoko Nakajima

(The following show was filmed as the preliminary matches to Fightland back on the 13th, so by the time this comes out, Blue Panther had already won the Openweight championship at a CMLL event, Which was addressed tonight.)

HELLO and Welcome to Hell Month! 

What's that?

If your new here, let me explain!

I run two blogs. And every so often scheduling bugs like back-to-back ppvs that span 3 or more weeks, to the point that working on them will take up precious time I may need to write a review for a film on the other site.

This occurrence, which is now rare because wrestling is a monopoly now, is lovingly referred to as a "Hell Month"

And the worst thing?

It may not be over when I think it will be, If Slaughterhouse's Preliminaries are to be launched in 3 weeks!

So here's the lay of the land so far

HELL MONTH SCHEDULE 

• Week 1-Fury Road, the post you are reading right now.
• Week 1-1st of October 2025: Halloween Special: Cassandra Episodes one to three (Bogger Box Office)
• Week 2-6th of October: Slaughterhouse 
• Week 3-13th of October: WWE Crown Jewel

And between them all, an Attempt to get The review of Room out on time for the 1st of November. 

It could have been worse! If AEW didn't have a pathetic British tv deal that didn't Snub The Irish, Week 1 would have being All Out! 

PREVIOUSLY ON MAJOR LEAGUE WRESTLING 

Matt Riddle at Fightland be like

And so, because of Hop-Head running his mouth online, MLW took the belt off him in a cash in by Mads Kruger.

I would have fired Riddle outright for His disgusting comments about women's abuse charities, but that's just me.

Because of that, The other challenger,  Dijak was livid that his chance was taken away, but someone else who felt overlooked, Alexander Hammerstone, under the prompt by a returning MJF, staked his claim, by interjecting in a brawl between the Former challenger and new Champion. 

Speaking of new Champions, The Vacated Middleweight championship has a new champion in The Luchadore Templario who Defeated Contra's Ikuro Kwan for the belt he had Stolen this summer. Contra are so P*ssed about the loss, they are threatening to reveal their next target....and I bet it's the Tequila selling Masked Money Mark that helped Templario win!

Also tonight, the qualification matches for the prestigious Opera Cup wrap up tonight, with the CMLL contingent sending 3 more chances to take the Opera Cup back to Mexico. 

Previously filmed on Saturday the 13th of October as the Preliminaries of Fightland in Dallas Texas, this is Fury Road.

As always, we Open With The House of Duran cutting a welcoming promo. Cesar starts with a rara speech mentioning Saudimania to boos! 

Opening Contest, Galleon Phastasma, Consisting of Zteve The Pirate, Difundo, a pencil-thin guy in a cheap halloween mask and no shoes and Barbosa, who at least looked like a wrestler. vs New Signee "Divebomb" Diego Hill, Atlantis Sr and Blue Panther. Difundo? Court Bauer should ask for a "REFUNDO" If CMLL Keeps giving him Sweaty Grandpas and Zteve The Pirate! The Crowd carries this match, they love Blue Panther and i Must admit, the Crowd Energy carried this match. Because when it started, a mixture of Blue panther's age and the respect he is shown made them take it slow, but when Hill came in, the pace quickened and the Old-timers followed suit quickly, eventually i ended up enjoying the match, Faces Won with Blue Panther getting the win on Barbosa! 

Backstage the House of Duran celebrate Templario with Don Gato when Ikuro gatecrashes the party. He spits Mist at Jesus when he plays bouncer!

The First Qualifying match for the Opera Cup for the night Paul London vs Okamura. And you thought Austin Art Donavan Aries was Terrible on Commentary, Then here comes Kojima, Spitting out Passion English between chunks of Processed White Bread. It Distracted from the fact Paul London Turned Heel. Thankfully Rob Drombroski did an interview after the Match, and Paul Defended his actions he then ended the interview by telling Uncle Dave Melty-Head to Suck It! He may have turned back face after that!

The Chamber of Horrors is next week's main event at Slaughterhouse. Kruger will defend against Mr Thomas, Kojima, CW Anderson and 2 others.

Backstage: Mr Thomas, Who is the alternate for the opera cup, Sadly it seems that his time in sun won't come this year. So he's Frustrated!

Qualifying match for the Opera Cup. CMLL Still has a chance to bring The Opera Cup back to Mexico. Volador Jr Vs Titan. Flippies and Dippies. At one Point on the outside. Volador had a brainfart. Titan was writhing on the floor and Volador was Just Staring blankly back at the ring. I dont know what to tell You, Volador finally got his act to together and finished the match by bumping the ref, tearing off Titan's mask, Roll up and CMLL HAS A 1/8 CHANCE TO BRING HOME THE OPERA CUP! THIS GUY?

Somewhere in Mexico, Danny McBride watches Don Gato waltz with Random masked Floozies in agave fields.

THIS USE TO BE THE FIRST IMAGE IF YOU GOOGLE SEARCHED THE PHRASE "THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED!" AND I AM BRINGING IT BACK!

Contra's New Victim is MSL, As Krule takes out the Manager of the Skyscrapers.

Local Girl vs Shitzi Blackfart. Shotzi feels like she can't get out of The WWE Superstar funk, she has Sunday Night Heat matches like this one, and a Chat show segment on  Slaughterhouse. Shotzi won, but I would do something different with Shotzi, as the whole gimmick was watered down to sell Toys in the Fed, and it lacks shock Value!

Lightning match- a Strict 10 minute Time Limit! Mr Thomas versus Satoshi Kojima, and Mr Thomas has turned Heel! Jump starting this match, he attacks the only 2 time heavyweight champion. Thomas dominates for 4 minutes, until He Eats Both Finishers at the 5;30 Mark. Kojima wins but Thomas proves he belongs in the main event next week!

Opera Cup final Qualification match, Austin Aries who cuts a Promo by saying He's a real Pro-wrestler and professional wrestling needs him to remind them what it was Who faced another WWE Waterdown Kushida, who still dresses Marty McFly. Apparently WWE didn't tell him to do that, so it was all him! Austin was Rusty, after all he spent 6 years in a wasteland of his own Making, due to his own unprofessionalism, If I have to say anything nice about the Tiny Turnip-eating Twit, He hasn't being spending those 6 years eating Vegan Donuts! Finish was Brainbuster after Aries Poked the eyes of Kushida! The Opera Cup Semis start next week!

Kruger vs Dyer NO CONTEST. They had no time after full Entrances to have a match

 

And that'll Do it For WEEK 1 OF HELL MONTH!  Hopefully in the 6 days between this post and Slaughterhouse I Will have Room finished in time for It's November launch over on boggerboxoffice.blogspot.com. Speaking of which, This Wednesday the 1st of October, my Halloween Special Cassandra will be launched, but here my next review will be Slaughterhouse to be launched a week from now!

 See you then!

MLW FIGHTLAND 2025: MATT RIDDLE MAKES A DALL-ASS OF HIMSELF

 List of Champions-No Change

World's: Matt "I Smoke W**d so I don't beat my Wife" Riddle

Openweight: Ultimo Guerrero 

Middleweight: Vacated

Tag: The Skyscrapers (Dijak and Bishop Dyer)

Featherweight: Shoko Nakajima 

Gravity Gamble (MITB): Mads Krule Kruger.

PREVIOUSLY ON MAJOR LEAGUE WRESTLING...

The Opera Cup started in full swing last month and will continue into the winter.

And Apart from that, the only thing of merit is the incessant adverts for some outlaw masked F*ck called El Gato to schill his tequila. 

And that leads me to a correction. In the Don Gato Ad that was inspired by Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, it was the Actor Danny McBride not Paul Walter Hauser. 

Opera Cup Qualifying match: Esfinge vs El Ultimo Guerrero Flippies and Dippies and Hotdogging. Can someone tell this Sweaty Grandad that they let have a championship to make a deal with CMLL that if he's not booked to put the belt up, then he has to lose some time? Anyway Ultimo Guerrero qualifies

Opera Cup Qualifying match: Blue Panther jr vs Zandokan aka Zteve The Pirate. This match was only here to promote a six man tag they will have on the Fury Road Special....a six man tag they already shown this audience because that show will be made up of this shows Preliminary matches! Zteve The Pirate has the worst finisher in this company so it's not as pathetic as Danhausen's Curse, but it is pretty Stupid, it's a Double palm Strike!

Backstage The Returning MJF and Alexander Hammerstone have a great promo. People always forget that Hammerstone can talk. So the gist of Hammer's promo is that everyone always talks about the Dynasty and his matches with Jacob Fatu like his best days are behind him, he had a great line "I've spent too much time doing this. I love Wrestling, and yet I Hate Wrestling " so he states he should show the source of his hatred, the other main eventers, just how much he despises them!

Featherweight Championship match, Between Yuki Kamifuku, who made her debut at Summer of The Beasts, so I didn't review it because I had a medical appointment, but she is a former model, very tall and Statuesque. As opposed to the Dumpy 4 foot 11 Schoolgirl dressed as Godzilla, Big Kaiju. Shoko has a tail now....YEP! A tail Yuki used to her advantage. The former model is 5'8, she has legs and she knows how to use 'em! Finish was Shoko using a three Amigos style Nothern light Suplex, so that was impressive by Nakajima to retain the belt. 

Backstage, Cesar, Salina Dela Renta and El Gato schill more tequila and announces "El Gato presents...Lucha Dela Meurtes in November in Charleston North Carolina. Ikuro Kwan comes in and threatens El Gato not to interfere in the Middleweight match.

Texas Death match...GARBAGE MATCH, Hammer is a lot better than this and he lets Mathew Justice know about it, and just when you thought they could take this seriously,  Justice who was sent through a barb wire covered Door as the finish, pops up to pose on the turnbuckle. DID I MENTION AUSTIN ARIES IS BACK IN THIS COMPANY?

Middleweight championship match for the Vacated title Between the Uncrowned Challenger Templario and the Man who stole the Belt from Mistico, Ikuro Kwan, after a Dynamic and Exciting Back and forth Match, Templario Accidently took out the ref which Signaled Contra's Death Squad to come out, only for El Gato to leave his skybox to attack Ikuro Kwan with Brass Knuckles and to revive the Referee. Templario his version of the Lungblower to finally crown the Uncrowned.

Backstage with Dijak and MSL in an echo chamber, This time on the MLW'S Technical Difficulties Conga, we have feedback on the promo for 2 whole minutes! Not that the Promo was going to be revolutionary or anything!

World's Heavyweight championship match Matt Riddle versus Donovan Dijak. Matt Riddle got some boos, but not enough to stop the crowd from Chanting "Bro", However they did cheer for Dijak. the match is about to start...Until!

Mads Krule Kruger cashes in Gravity Gamble 

Your Main Event from this Sunday morning, TRIPLE THREAT, NO DQ, ONE FALL TO A FINISH, YOU KNOW IT, YOU HATE IT, IT'S JUST THE WAY OF THE WRESTLING WORLD NOW! LAAAAAZZZY BOOKING! Let's just get to the Finish already shall we, Dijak takes out Matt Riddle with the Feast Your Eyes, Only for Krule to slip in, give Dijak the Scorched Earth and toss over Dijak to pin Riddle. Despite Spending the either year making Krule look like "Stupidest Big man since Abyss!" I get it, After the Stupid Comments by Riddle, about know showing a charity event in London against Abuse, and saying that #MeToo Movement was Bull, MLW Had to move fast to get this done. Riddle's not fired though, he appears in the Sizzle Reel for Slaughterhouse....At least for the Moment! 

With Dijak Feeling Cheated out of the Belt, "The Disruptor" taunts The new champion to fight him at ringside a swarth of Chairs now cleared of fans by security out of safety, The two Behemoths fight to the outside of the Building, and that's when Alex Hammerstone makes his presence known with a Chair, He ready to show who must he Hates what he also loves!

See you later!

WWE CLASH IN PARIS 2025: MERDE MISERY TOUR

 WWE Opens the Show By let's be honest, Saying this show is nothing but a stopgap before Tapping the Bank Accounts of Every "Celebrity" they wish to feature at ESPN'S RASSLINGFERLOSERSD! French Commentary get muted In their own country!

NOT THE FIRST TIME A N*ZI MUTED FRENCH BROADCASTING!

We open Our Show and the first Hour with Roman Reigns VS Bronson Reed and the first 20 minutes was The Entrances and Cheering. Bronson looked great and May have went from Midcard Bodyguard for Life to Heavyweight Hell Challenger in the next few years. Bronson took all of Roman's Big moves and didn't Flinch, just like a monster heel is suppose to. In the end after a great Grueling back and forth match. Roman Won and With Paul Heymen standing over his Australian Charge after his defeat laden with Roman's Stolen Shoes, Roman got them back, as well as a measure of Revenge of his former Wiseman. After signing his shoes and throwing them into the crowd by standing on the announce table, Bron Brekker ran down the top of the guard rail to spear Roman, Causing a 2 man assault than dragged everyone out to try and stop it. In the end Roman got Pilmanized by Brekker and put on a stretcher. Returning to Backstage after a commercial, General Manager Adam Pierce Threatened Both Brons with Suspension Without Pay. Paulie was also Hospitalized, So Seth is all Alone in the Main event....Or is he? 

Wwe Smackdown tag team championship- The Street Profits challenged the Wyatt Sicks' Joe Gacy and Dexter Lumis in a competent Display for Tag Wrestling. I'm Convinced B-Fab only got into Wrestling to wear Nice Clothes and be filmed looking good! She stood there doing nothing! If She was only out there to counteract Nikki Cross Because A face Can't hit a Women, Then She wasn't Smartened up to that! Like I Said, Yes the Heels Interfered to make sure The Wyatts retained.

Becky Lynch vs Nikki Bella. 0 Stars. Lame. No Notes. Becky retains/

Fourth in Line was the Donnybrook match Between Sheamus and Rusev. So of course Being a Donnybrook it was a Gimmick Match with Pub Furniture and Whiskey Barrels at Ringside. I wonder IF People from The real Donnybrook In county Dublin Know their town is a shorthand for a Drunken Fight!

Anyway Streetfight, LAAAAZZZY BOOKING! This was not Wrestling! This was a Fight, In the end after destroying Barrels and Lawnchairs and someone's china cabinet. Rusev Choked Sheamus with his own Shilleighleigh.

CenaWinsLOL!

If there was ever an Opponent for people to hope John Cena Doesn't Beat the Allegations Of Burying Talent, It would be L***n P**l! No Sign of Lesner who we all Suspect to be Cena's Opponent for Wrestlepalooza .

Four way for the World Championship-Seth Rollins defended the World Heavyweight Championship against Jey Uso, LA KNIGHT And the Man Seth Cheated out of the title with the MITB Contract, CM PUNK, No Eliminations. One fall to a Finish. YOU GUESSED IT-LAAAAZZZZY BOOKING! As soon as Jey kicked Punk over the ropes and Seth played The Coward, I Knew the Song and Dance routine by Heart-The "I Slide In, Do a Move, You Slide Out, Someone Else Slides In, Does a Move on Me, I Slide Out" Let's Fast Forward to the Finish because it was the only thing of Merit. After both Knight and Uso are Neutralized after Table spots each. Seth Grabs a chair from ringside and Berates Punk, telling Punk he hates him and his family, He goes to Kerb Stomp Punk's head through the metal chair before Punk moves and Seth Injures his foot. Punk Hits Go-2-Sleep, when Seth Staggers the ropes and falls into Punk's Shoulders! That's when a Masked Person goes and saves Punk from given Seth a second GTS By decking Punk in his Love-Spuds....It's Becky Lynch who saves the belt for her husband! Could this mean what i think it means? Could AJ LEE Come out of Retirement?

I'm Afraid if that's the case, then I will have to watch Wrestlepalooza as a casual watcher, as until Saturday I was Convinced The ESPN only show was not going to be shown internationally on Netflix and I Decided to focus on drafting the Halloween Special for Boggerboxoffice in advance of Halloween, Besides have you seen the ad campaign for Wrestlepalooza? they are backing more "Celebrity" appearances than Matches. Hell, If AJ LEE Does come out of retirement for a mixed Tag match, it means one of the World Title Holders will not the Putting a title on the line. Not that it's already a circus sideshow with the rumoured Cena vs Brock Lesner Match. so no, the Schedule doesn't change because Triple H thinks a Show run by a C*kehead is competition, that he has to run a show for "DA REALLY REAL SPORTZ GUYZ!" App on the same day! I will return in two weeks for MLW Fightland.

MLW BLOOD AND THUNDER: BREAD. FISH. BREADED FISH.

 List of Champions- CHANGES IN CAPITALS 

World's: Matt Riddle 

Middleweight:Vacated, Currently stolen by Ikuro Kwan 

Openweight: Ultimo Guerrero 

TAG-THE SKYSCRAPERS (DIJAK/BISHOP DYER)

Featherweight: Shoko Nakajima 

Gravity Gamble Winner (MITB) Mads Krule Kruger

SHOTZI BLACKHART RETURNED TO THE INDIES ON SUMMER OF THE BEASTS! And so did Ava Everett. Despite Shotzi not being dressed to Wrestle and a broken Ulna set in cast, Salina Dela Renta made a match for tonight.

Starting tonight is the tradition. The Opera Cup will see A joint Tournament of the league, CMLL and New Japan this year. After the disrespect shown by Ikuro Kwan for months, Mistico will face "The Concrete Dragon" in a first round qualifier. In another, The only double world champion in MLW's history, Satoshi Kojima will face Bobby Fish, but how will Bobby be after the Implosion of the Rogue Horseman?

Was there something else that happened?

Oh yeah....THAT!

As for the championships, we have new tag champions as Cesar's Surprise for Los Predatores was MSL's two Bulls in Donovan Dijak and Bishop Dyer. And despite Matthew Justice sticking his nose into making Hammerstone Title match into a three way,  Ultimo Guerrero lives to hot-dog another day!  Hammerstone after the match called his spot  against Matthew Justice and The world champion, Matt Riddle. 

Speaking of Matt Riddle, the world champion put over but still Defeated the over-rated Broken down Trampoline cowboy from Japan not named Ibushi or Okada, but Kenta. However, damage maybe done to Riddle's Legs.

Filmed as the Dark Matches of Summer of The Beasts back in June, this is Blood and Thunder.

Duran falling run down tonight's card.  Then Salina announces the Middleweight title will have a Champion at Fightland next month.

Starting Proceedings was Six man scramble match; Mads Kruger, Mr Thomas, Matthew Justice, Okamura, CW Anderson and Ariel Dominguez, who should be renamed as "The Human Lawn-Dart", Because He was passed like A change-basket During Mass! This was One fall to a finish, (LAAAZY BOOKING!) And A way to Continue to Rehab Krule as not being the Stupidest Big-man in wrestling since Abyss. What I didn't like is MLW went for a break a minute before the Finish. Krule Won, But this won't be last Time we see Krule, which is Ironic in the closing minutes of this show

Salina and Cesar get A Lucha key from El Gato, Meaning they will have to Go to El Gato's Plantation in a Tequila advert dressed as an Angle In the next few months. 

Neon vs Paul London in a Lightning match Ended in a 10 minute draw. Are we really going down the road of a Heel Paul London vs Paul Walter Hauser? Who wants to see that? especially if Naked Gun is in The Oscar Chase next year? Speaking of Hauser.....

Somewhere in Mexico, Paul Walter Hauser and some weird looking mark pretend to be Hunter S Thompson in two ads for El Gato's Tequila. 

Bishop Dyer vs Anthony Greene Opera Cup qualifying match 1. If you thought Anthony Greene was going to win against The Possum King, Get some Help!

World's Heavyweight championship match Matt Riddle versus Donovan Dijak Didn't happen, As Contra attacked Riddle backstage, So out Comes Krule with a Ref and the Title Shot Briefcase, But Once again, Dijak Kicks the briefcase into the head of Krule. The match is Thrown out! NO CONTEST!

Dijak and Krule Fight backstage, This will Continue for the rest of the show.

Qualifying match 2 Satoshi Kojima vs Bobby Fish. At this point, since I watched this live, And I live in Ireland so this 4am, so I was getting Fatigued, because I've seen these two in some variation or another for nearly a year now! A Good Solid match! Kojima wins with the Trademark LARIOT-O! After the match, the Crowd threw Bread and Okamura came in with a Peace offering of Donuts for his friend, but it did look like, Okamura was waiting for Kojima to turn his back during the promo to attack him. One can only wonder! 

Shotzi vs Ava Everett. I'm sorry but I Didn't pay attention to this match, It does look like, Shotzi after her Tenure at wwe, has stopped wanting to sell Toys and focus on Wrestling. And Ava is the best one to do it against. It's just a shame I was Fighting Sleep at his point!

Qualifying match 3. Ikuro Kwan vs Mistico. The Big Blowoff before Mistico left to Settle Things with MJF in CMLL and Despite Losing This match with Mistico, Kwan next month has the chance to Legitimize his claim to the title, as he will face The Uncrowned Challenger to this point, Templario next month in Dallas at Fightland.

Dijak supposedly drops Krule to his death, but noone sees him fall. MLW didn't do a Hulk Hogan tribute by Name, But Here they are recreating the Time Hogan "Dropped" The Giant to his "Death", only without Monster Trucks!

Well That's it!

Next Month, we see what will be a Dumpster Fire in the City of Lights, as John Cena faces L***n P**l as one of it's marquee matches.

NO REALLY!

TASTE TEST 2K25: TAYTO THAI RINGS FLAVOUR POTATO CRISPS

 Hello Everyone!

Brand new Taste Test while you wait for Blood and Thunder in 2 weeks. Tayto is back with the third year of Tayto's Corn Snacks transformed into A potato crisp. Following the Road set by Meanies two years ago and mighty munch last year, now in 2025. Thai Rings gets it's Turn.

TAYTO THAI RINGS POTATO CRISPS 

Package Colour: Pitch black with Mr Tayto standing behind logo with an Oriental Dragon beside him. The bottom of the packaging is blue to harken back to The original Cheese and Onion.

Flavour: As Vague as it Comes,  "Oriental Spices" Flavoured Potato Crisps. Flavoured after the Ring Shaped Corn Snacks originally made by Perry.

Taste: Opening the Bag, the Spices waft towards my nose and it's a pleasant warm smell. Taking a bite,  I notice the crisps are not uniform. Those with Specks of spice are lightly flavoured, while those completely tanned with Spice rub have an overwhelming amount of Heat! This inconsistency inadvertently solves the problem Mighty Munch had just 12 months ago: the further I went down the bag of those last year, the spicier and unbearable the crisps got. Not this time. Maybe by luck, perhaps by Transit and Settling, but definitely not by design, But this year's flavour is delicious, even if it's still vague on what exactly makes this "Thai"!

Thank you for Reading! I'll be In two weeks to Cover MLW Blood and Thunder as Normal Services resume. Over at boggerboxoffice.blogspot.com my film review site my latest review is Kinda Pregnant with Leave the World behind being up on August 1st. Don't miss that!

WWE EVOLUTION 2025: I CAN'T GET NO STRATTON-FACTION!

 Video package of women who should be here in the Battle Royale, but aren't.

Joe Tessatore is joined by Stephanie Mcmahon and she just feels like the Old Man, in a way that feels like she had the assistant give her notes that she memorised between matches.

No female commentary.  You'd think they'd try. 

Wwe intercontinental women's championship. Bayley vs The Crazy Bird Lady and Becky Lynch. A few "Becky Hogan" signs in the crowd. Bayley got the crowd hyped and then popped Theatre Kid in the mouth, which caused her to slide out the ring until it was her cue. TRIPLE THREAT, NO ELIMINATIONS, ONE FALL TO A FINISH, LAAAAAAAAAZY BOOKING! Finish was Becky kicking her Leg out of her leg, I mean rolling up Bayley, out of her roll-up!

RINGSIDE At this ple, Rocky's Daughter, Mark Henry, Ivory, Jazz, Madusa, Leilani Kai, Maris, Torrie Wilson, Melina Perez, Molly and F**KING VICKI GUERRERO! They flew her out to scream "Excuse me" I hope they delay her flight again (if you know, you know!)

You're telling me That noone saw it coming, that Blake Monroe, the Heel who dresses like a Str**per, was going to cheat Jordyn Grace, by joining Fatal Influence the Heel Group who dress like Str**pers. Really?

FOUR TEAMS. NO ELIMINATIONS.  ONE FALL TO A FINISH. MORE LAAAAAAAAAZY BOOKING! Judgement day retained!

Next was a treat, which sad to say due to Storms overnight, messed with Netfix at this match. But I did go back and watch it later and I was impressed with Trish and Tiffany having a competitive match, which to be honest when wwe just fills secondary events with nothing but multi person matches, the one on one matches are always what I look forward to. Tiffany had to fight to retain again the Hall of Famer, who has not had a title shot for 18 years. But sadly Trish Breaking her own Record to hold the belt an eighth time would not come to pass, but the crowd did let Trish have a moment after the match.

Garbage match for the Women with Bianca Bel-Air as referee. Match was made because Naomi had Money in the Bank so to lose in long standing feud is understandable.  But I'm sick of Garbage matches! MLW can be blamed for that! Finish was the Jaded through a table from the top rope. The story was the facial expressions on Bianca raising Jade's hand. It looked like she felt sorry for Naomi. Boy will that bite her later this week in Smackdown.

Everyone get in here battle royal for a women's title shot at Clash in Paris. Everyone who was not in a match, or ringside was in this match. Namely Nikki Bella, Chelsea Green, Alba Fyre, Piper Niven, Nattie, Maxine Dupri, Jayda Parker, Lash Legend, J-Lola Vice and her big A*s!, Zelina Vega, Kelani Jordan, Tatum Paxley, Izzy Dame, B-Fab, Ivy Nile, Mrs SameFace, Potato Jax, Stephanie Vaquer and Giula, no surprises.  

Stephanie Vaquer is the number one contender for one of the women's belts at Clash in Paris in August/September. 

And now our main event. Raw women's championship. Rhea Ripley vs the champion. Iyo Sky. A feeling out process to start, as the narrative is Rhea has never won against Iyo one on one.  Headlock takeover leapfrog and Iyo taunts that she is in her head.  On the outside, Rhea Attempted an Electric Chair Drop, but Sky hits an Asai Moonsault. Tiger Feint Knee. Iyo was later whipped hard into the barrier and then Flung in the ring like a Carcass.  Abdominal Stretch by  "The Destructor", but Iyo stands up to reduce the pain and pressure. Spike DDT and the Japanese champion celebrates like she won the lotto! Cassadora countered into a Powerbomb.  Rhea grabs Iyo's legs to counter a Moonsault. But a razors edge and sit out powerbomb contains the Threat for now. Riptide countered into a Sleeper, but Sky is Driven into the corner to break free. Iyo kicks  referee Jessica Carr who takes a bump. Rhea  pins but there is no ref, the match becomes Chaos as they fight in the crowd. Iyo Crossbodies Ripley from 20 feet, back at Ringside Rhea is thrown rib first into the announcer table. Ref is back in, Moonsault only gets two.  Super Riptide that becomes a Spanish Fly that takes both women out.That when Naomi comes In!

TRIPLE THREAT MATCH FOR THE WOMEN CHAMPIONSHIP!

Rhea is tossed out unceremoniously and Iyo eats a split legged Moonsault. And we have a new Champion.

WINNER AND NEW WWE RAW WOMEN'S CHAMPION: Naomi. 

A quick review from me this time. I'm afraid my usual Internet provider is on holiday so I'm using a library computer and my phone to get this out. Things will be back to normal by Thursday the 17th of July.
