DOUBLE FEATURE: MLW SUMMER OF THE BEASTS/BASH AT BERLIN

 Part 1- Major League Wrestling Summer of the Beasts- The Dijak Hijack!

The following review was written on Friday the 30th, Hours after The show's debut on YouTube

List of Champions-NO CHANGES

World's: Satoshi Kojima

Openweight: Bad dude Tito

Middleweight: Mistico

Tag: COZYMAX (Satoshi Kojima and Okumura)

Featherweight: Janai Kai

(PREVIOUSLY ON MAJOR LEAGUE WRESTLING....

Time is running out on World and tag champion Satoshi Kojima.

A lingering Foot Injury has caused Nothing but Trouble for the double champion, And an exploitable weakness in the eyes of Number one contender, Contra's Merchant of Violence, Mads Kruger. Tonight, The tag belt is in Contra's Crosshairs. Will both belts be seized in the following Weeks?

Also tonight, the semifinals for the Opera cup begin, even if it means The Hart Family has no horse in the race, as last month Bulldog Jr. refused to listen to the ref in his match with AJ Francis, and World Titan Federation was issued with a suspension for Smith. Will there be ramifications between both WTF Members tonight?

Hideo Kojima returns to America for this show which is also a New Japan crossover. He will face Akira tonight, before his match with Bobby "Bomb Shelter" Fish.

This and a lot more in the first part of this Double Feature Event!)



All night there were Technical Difficulties, With wrong music played in entrances, No Audio on some packages, cameraman cutting to audience shots for no reason, It was a mess. What wasn't a mess, was The 1st Qualifier for the Opera Cup, Former Winner Alex Kane vs Bad Dude Tito. In a Technical Bullfight with two top wrestlers. Tito won with the Roddy piper vs Bret Hart, king of the ring 93 Finish, a roll up during Kane's sleeper, that knocked out Tito, but pinned Alex Kane's Shoulders. We finally have a reason for these two to feud.

Featherweight Championship, as Janai Kai, continues to dominate, However she had a real Challenger, despite being from Stardom, Hanako, who at 5 foot 11, is definitely NOT A JOSHEEEEEEE! NINETY POUND SCHOOLGIRL PRINCESS! In fact, she looked like a taller, Younger, Asuka! There was only one problem-Hanako has only being a Pro for 2 years! And that inexperience shone! But what shone brighter was her Talent. In 5 years going the way she is presented, WWE May be interested in Hanako. 

TJP's New "Assgog" Gimmick.....

"I'M GOING TO SUCK!"

TJPQ Is here to replace Davey Boy due to injury, and to take away an Opportunity to win the Opera Cup from Tom Lawlor who actually works here. Let's put another Carriage on the Tom Lawlor Humiliation Train!

Matt Riddle Vs Matthew Justice had a Garbage Match, despite being billed as a normal one-fall match. Riddle being the Battle Riot Winner, needs tune-up matches before his inevitable title win. The Technical difficulties continued when Riddle asked the timekeeper to throw in Beers and one can burst open midflight.

Next match was the return of MLW original and wwe tag champion Paul London, who looked like Keanu Reeves dressed as Elvis! He Faced the Newly regenerated career of The BRG. And they had a pretty exciting match, which London won with Confusingly the Mushroom Stomp, a Move wwe told him to use when they Shadowbanned the Shooting Star! Bobby Fish attacked London after the dub, which summoned the Andersons to come to the ring-VERY SLOWLY! And with a reason, it was a Swerve! And Brock and CW Anderson joined on on the attack on London.

Andersons Vs Love-Doug and Jay Lion. Andersons Squash the comedy wrestlers.

Kenta Bet Akira in a Good back a fought match where the crowd was split and actually invested. Kenta goes through to the Semi finals of the Opera Cup which will Concluded in 2 weeks at Fightland.

If MLW Didn't have the Technical Difficulties, then We would have seen a Doomsday clock tick down to this point, where we Would have had a Scramble match between Jimmy Lloyd, LSG, Little Guido and Nolo Kitano, instead we have Doomsday arrive in MLW...Donavan Dijak, Under WTF Management, Destroyed the 4 underneath guys. with the crowd going wild, and I was shocked! I didn't even know Dijak was released. Well MLW is seen as a stop on the road out of wwe, But where Dijak, chooses to Hang his hat, It's WWE'S Loss!

In a definite Message to Kojima, Contra are now your Tag champions. How much more damage can Kojima Take. Next month he may have to. but he won't be taking the title with him.

Mistico Vs Atlantis Jr Shouldn't have being the main event when you had a title change in the last match-That's a fact! The main story is that Since Cesar Duran and Salina Dela Renta are revealed to be father and daughter, Salina is running around as Heir apparent to Cesar's Azteca Lucha talent, Something that gotten Salina's hangers on in Her Promotioneles Dorado Faction upset, as seen when Jesus attacked Cesar's talent Mistico on the outside, injuring his arms enough for any attempt to La Mistica to hurt. So it was time to revert to a Swanton to this match that dragged on and on! Sure it's a rematch to them selling out Mexico, But if a Tree falls in Mexico and it Doesn't have a TV Deal, Will Uncle Dave give it 7 Stars?

List of Champions-NEW  CHAMPIONS IN CAPITALS

World's: Satoshi Kojima

Openweight:Bad dude Tito

Middleweight: Mistico

TAG- CONTRA (IKURO KWAN AND MINORU SAZUKI)

Featherweight:Janai Kai

And Now With the Power of the Cloud and Editing I will transport you to Part 2 and To the Present!

**********************************************

(The Following review was Written Today (September the 2nd) two days after the show)

Bash in Berlin 2024-I AM A DONUT!

Germany's first PLE ever and the most sold out arena Show ever, Beating out Clash at the castle this summer, Started out much like that show, with the Undisputed Championship match First. But Given that like Clash a Hometown Hero was having the title match, I understood. Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes did the same thing, that AEW are trying to do with Will O'Spray, as Dixie Carter Called Him, With the Conflicted Heel, but better, Kevin was convinced Cody's Knee was hurt and when giving the chance to hit an apron powerbomb like he has done, Unlike Wembley, the crowd reacted, and when he opted to beat Cody in the ring, It was his Last mistake, Even hitting the Stunner, Cody had hit 3 cross Rhodes on him. After the match they hugged, but Kevin was heelish when he saw the camera in his face during the embrace, in an attempt to catch him heeling up. Cody didn't Help matters by raising Kevin Owens arm despite the defeat, he swung away angrily, before raising Rhodes arm. That got a lot of OOOHS From the audience!

What was that about, Turning Jade Heel to have her Face Bianca at Mania Vegas? Well it's still gonna happen, but let's use the tag belts as a Prop. July's over Time to Put Alba and Isla Back in the Minority Box, and book them the next time Pride Month comes around! Give my Regards to Tegan Nox!

Strap match was next and I didn't take much Notes, But the emotion was there, Drew and Punk man, They Made me Believe, they made me care About a Cheap Homemade Bracelet! Punk won his first wwe ppv Match in over 10 years! And It was Worth the Wait! No Doubt Drew will face Face Gunther at Bad Blood Next Month.

Mixed TAG Was Garbage-Liv Morgan, The Chicken Waitress, Should have stayed Working In the Certain Chicken Shop with all the Creeps leering at her in her Bikini serving wings! The sooner Rhea Pops Liv like a pimple for her title, the better!

Finally, Front of this Swinging, Singing Berlin Crowd, Randy Orton Faced A Man who while Austrian, Cut his teeth In German Promotions like WXW, Before Dominating Britain, which led to him coming to Nxt. After Kaiser introduced Gunther in German, It was time for the match which Started with a lock up, Until Gunther exploded with one of his Shotgun Chops. When that happened, this 50/50 crowd turned Completely Partisan towards Gunther. This lead to Boos Rained To Orton when hit the Powerslam and the Draping DDT, And followed Up with the Superplex, Shades of his father, no doubt Still taking the insults of his lineage personally. Gunther started Selling his arm, as we went for the powerbomb, he didn't follow up with Jackknife Pin. All the while Selling Randy was rearranging the Furniture at ringside that ended with a side suplex to Gunther through the German announce Table. They Rolled back in and it was time for the Finish, Gunther Wrapped a Tight Sleeper, Orton Hit the RKO, But Gunther Countered into the Sleeper During the Drop, the Surprise caught Orton off-Guard and the Ref had no choice but to declare Gunther the Winner, after match. Gunther and Orton shook hands. Could Gunther be turning face? Or was this just For Show for his countrymen

AND THAT'S IT....This Little Double feature is more important than you realise. This Post MAYBE MY LAST WWE PAYPERVIEW! Now, As you know, wwe is going to Netflix Internationally. And while WWE dips in quality during The Winter Months, like it always does, i am taking this time to actually buy wifi and get all my affairs in order, Before The Royal Rumble In February. 

But I am Not the kind of man who Count his chickens before they hatch. I realise if things go wrong then this may be my last WWE PPV post ever.

But I Will keep you Posted when I have the Update for 2025, when I Return from my Christmas Hiatus!
