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!
