MLW ONCE UPON A TIME...IN NEW YORK-LEAD OR SILVER?

 LIST OF CHAMPIONS-TITLE CHANGES IN CAPITALS

  • World's-Satoshi Kojima
  • Openweight- Ricky Shane Fat Mudshow F*CK Page
  • MIDDLEWEIGHT-MISTICO
  • TAG- WORLD TITAN FEDERATION (BULLDOG JR AND FILTHY TOM LAWLOR)
  • Featherweight-Janai Kai 

PREVIOUSLY ON MLW....

Intimidation Games was the Last PPV back in February, and it saw the 3 major factions make Landgrabs at the belts. Cesar Duran's Azteca Lucha loosened Salina Dela Renta's Grip on the Middleweight belt when Misticio defeated Rocky Romero. And Monsieur Saint Laurent's Titans bested the second Gear Crew. However, Kojima, the man who has no dog in this fight, still holds the gold that matters after a match against Minoru Sazuki.

The Former champion, Alex Kane is on that road to redemption, keeping close to Kojima to canvas for a rematch, however after embarrassing MSL at the Reload Special in January, The Porty Promotor has opened the chequebook to send out free agents as Hired guns to take out the Bombaye Fightclub Captain. Bobby Fish was unsuccessful, but maybe AJ Francis can hurt Alex indirectly by taking out Kane's Right hand man, Mr Thomas? Well, The Former Flop Dollar has a head start, when he attacked Thomas in the bathroom! It's not the only tactic, as AJ also insinuates that there is a mole amongst the Bombaye Fightclub ranks!

But MSL got a measure of revenge on the Champ. During a Title unveiling ceremony, the new belt was Stolen and Kojima's Leg was injured. Is the champion 100% on Good Friday for War Chamber?

Yeah about that....Over here in Ireland, Work days are still overlooked by people who still Believe In a Magical Man in the Sky! Since this will be out on Tuesday because St Patrick's Day is a Holiday that had its own bank holiday, it's also the same for Easter Sunday. But by the time Easter is over all my attention is on Launching Crimes Of the Future and Mania, so there will be no War Chamber results!

The Calling Continues to expunge the teaching of its former master, Raven, under the new (even more) deranged leader, Ricky Shane Page. But Raven is not without allies, and The Calling is not without enemies. 

Coming out of the Losing end of the Faction war, Salina Dela Renta and Promociences Dorado have regrouped with new Signings to debut tonight! 

Cesar's State of Lucha Address opens the show, telling us something we already know that Azteca Lucha will be in May, emanating  from Chicago, he also lets us know he signed a big name in the featherweight division,  Zayda and Brett Ryan Goseleen come out and spout Cringe a Clueless or Bill and Ted extra would say! Cesar Compares Zayda to "That Borica B***h Salina", Which Summons Salina on the tron with Rocky Romero taking out an Azteca Henchmen.

Scramble Match- Brett Ryan Goseleen, Love-Doug, Matthew Mathers, Dylan McKay, Ichiban and Cannonball. Cannonball taken out by Akira, who is taken by The Calling. As for the match, would you call this a match? Flow was "I hit a move on you, you Slide out, then that guy hits a move on me, I slide out!" BRG got the win after a Distraction by Zayda.

Big Bad Dude Tito Squashes Azteca Henchmen #66 in a minute. Yeah in the time it took to write this paragraph. NEXT! 

AJ Francis Vs Mr Thomas Was next. And I think the mole is Faye Jackson....



The full Bodied woman who stole the Mane Event's Hula hoop and Used it to distract them in a match. The only reason I say this is The Cameramen and Commentary are using the "Remember The New Guy" Trope too hard on her, to this point on what was a bit character.  Anyway Distraction by Saint Laurent and Hell wins. I am sending a pattern!

Number one Contenders match for the Featherweight Championship; Zayda Vs Delmi Exo. It looks like Delmi had no-showed, but then It was revealed Delmi was wearing the Azteca Lucha colours, as Salina on commentary started Spitting feathers. Delmi who has being Heelish, but wrestles Face, but is in tow with one of the 3 warring heel faction, won with a distraction into finish. Who am I supposed to cheer for, apart from them really good in the ring?

Bulldog Jr  With Josh Bishop Vs Matt Riddle. This they took serious, something I thought I never would ever say about Matt Riddle, but he no longer has birds flying out of his Ass! He only hallucinates the Birds Flying out of his ass! So this match started with a lockup. Always good to see, the match was billed as Wrestling Matt Vs the cage, and it didn't disappoint. Josh Bishop whispered Sports entertainment to Harry on the outside and that flipped the Switch to make Bulldog Jr a dirty rotten cheater. But Riddle kept up the face act...until he won with a Surprise Rollup.

#BANTHEGODDAMROLLUP!

Court Bauer was here for some piece to camera, only For Contra to attack The Founder, Referees, EMTs and Various wrestlers. With Mads Kruger caving in the Throat of Bauer with a flagpole. That's how you rehab a monster heel if your top baby-face leaves suddenly!

Next was Magnus, presented by Cesar Duran Vs Star Jnr, Presented by Salina Dela Renta, They had a good Lucha match, if your only gateway to Lucha was Rey using it against non-Lucha guys, or Whatever the Hell Felix and Penthouse call Lucha, it was good authentic Lucha. Sadly after what happened moments ago, the air was out of the crowd. Star Jnr wins with Yes, the Roll up! Magnus was ordered by Cesar to attack the  Referee, And later after a bit to camera that just saw Duran walking up the ramp,  Cesar outs himself as a Teleporter, by appearing backstage quickly to place Coins on the eyelids of  an unconscious Rocky Romero. Turning to the camera he asks Salina which way she wants to go out, With Silver or Lead? 

Six man tag- Alex Kane and Cozy Max Vs World Titan Federation members ( Holiday, Lawlor and Bishop). I think last month we saw all what Okumura can do at his age. Kojima is injured but still fighting. Finish was Okumura and Kane taking out Lawlor and Holiday, so that the Big man Bishop can sell the LARIOT-O! Like it was Death!  Ambush by WTF, Calling stops Akira and Jake Crist from helping, Out comes Second Gear Crew And Francis and we will see you all for the Royal Rumble....I mean Calling Vs Death Fighters, War Chamber Match on April 20th! But of Course A Bell is Tolling and the World keeps on Rolling to Philadelphia for WRESTLEMANIA 40! Full results here on Monday the 6th!
