MLW: BLOOD AND THUNDER PART 1: DURAN'S GAMBIT!

 In Memory of Jay Briscoe, who's Death was announced nine hours before writing.

Surprise!

Didn't think You'd see me so soon after such a big Post, Didn't Ya! Well, Neither Did I! But Last night i was heading to bed when MLW dropped the first hour of Matches that were Billed as the Blood and Thunder Special...Next Week will be part 2, Whenever That may be Next Week.

So Let's Start where We Left off Two years ago, MLW was Over-run by the heel Faction of Contra. Until The Booking was Given over to Lucha Underground's Booker, Cesar Duran. Who used his talent and Contentions to Rid MLW of Simon Gotch And Josef Samael. (Ikari Khan was still There, but he's a Job-Guy!) Contra Imploded When Jacob Fatu and Mads Kruger Had Bloody Street fight after another in their Feuds. When the dust settled, Mads would turn his attention to the world's Title and Fatu would Team with his Cousins Lance A'noi and Big Juicy.

However Cesar was Not the Saviour, MLW thought he was, Alex Hammerstone didn't Trust Cesar and It lead to Cesar asking Hammer to drop the belt to Mil Meurtes, after Hammer Defeated Fatu for the Belt. Cesar was Front and Centre to every Heel Turn and Shady Deal, Until last week's episode, Management had enough and fired Cesar.

This leads to the Cesar, addressing the crowd, THIS week first, and Despite English not being Cesar's first language, The Mexican gives 100% into menacing Promos. With the Frail Body and the black Suits, He gives off a Godfather Vibe. He essentially tells the Crowd in Philadelphia that he's Sniping talent for his Lucha Underground Revival, which we will see as the Show Continues.

 First of 2 matches And it's for the Middleweight Championship of the World. Former wwe Jobber Lince Dorado vs Dragongate's Shun Skywalker....and the crowd couldn't care less! And Phillie is Known for it's Loud cult-like wrestling fans! Good on them, they can do the Flippy shit, Go to Jacksonville if you are good at That, But the Crowd last night (At a show filmed on the 12th) was a serious Indictment on the state of wrestling-Everyone is sick of Trampoline Cowboys. Anyway, Finish was Ruined by Lince's Music played Before the Pin. And We have a New Champion-2 weeks after the last one! During a promo, Cesar Returned to Pour Champaign on Lince and telling the Heelish Face they need to talk.

He appeared twice more in 2 More Promos. First Attempting to Hire the Bombaye Fight Club, Then accepting the Booker Of the Year and Cutting a promo on Both Vince McMahon and Tony Khan ("I Didn't Get here By my Daddy, or waiting for him to Die!") he then revealed that he is Not going anywhere, as he was hired to be the manager of his new Client, the Featherweight (Women's) Champion, Taya Valkyrie. And now it makes Sense to turn her Heel on NWA. Because she is now heel here. But Like the tag division it's not Established. Taya will Face Some Green Haired women Next week.

And Now to the Main event! 6 Man tag action as the Bombaye Fight Club (Alex Kane, Mr Thomas and Myron Reed) faced Bulldog Jr and The New British Bulldogs, The Billington Brothers, Thomas, 21 and Mark only 19! This was Great! Alex Kane is pound for pound the best Technical wrestler MLW have, as well as being A mountain of man, Mr Thomas is no Minnow himself and Myron is such a high and Cocky lil Bastard with a slappable face, that it makes the Team. But it was all about a legacy been reborn. Too be that Talented, that Young, especially Mark Billington, at 19! They showed like their father, that they can ground people in the ring But Fly over in taking out, local Pin-monkeys Posing as an Entourage! Finish was the Billington's taking out Kane, Reed and Jobbers with a Double dive as the 2 powerhouses were legal., With Bulldog Junior slamming Mr Thomas with a Middle Rope Powerslam!

And that's part 1 of the Show filmed as part of Blood and Thunder. Next week. Cesar reveals a new signing, Taya is in Title Match Action and in the Main Event, Jacob Fatu faces Japan's Ben-K!
