MLW FUSION EPISODE 218:JOB INTERVIEW WRESTLING

List of Champions-No Changes and Two "At time of Filming"

World's: Killer Kross 

Openweight: Austin Aries 

Middleweight: Templario 

Southern Crown "Trevor Lee" (at time of Filming)/ "Mark Coffey" (Circa September) 

Tag The Good Brothers (Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson)

Women's "Shotzi Blackhart"

Filmed last month in Philledelphia as part of the Slaughterhouse Tapings. 

Contra promo on the Opera Cup. This was some good work by Josef Samael and the Editing team. Samael said We are shackled to exaggerated Stories that tie us to archaic traditions. To make trophies that are made to demean the Unworthy are now Holy relics in Wrestling.  The Real Test of what is important is seeing what survives The Flames of Rebellion. "Put your Idols to the fire and see who can take the Flames!"

"HEAVYWEIGHT" CLASH Joe Coffey vs Andrew Everett...because get it, Andrew Everett thinks he's Andre the Giant? Off the Bat, you dear reader have found the Source of the Subtitle. As even though you knew who was winning this, unless matches have guys already in the ring, everyone has Competitive matches when they don't have to when the Booking is this predictable. Forget "Hybrid Wrestling", this is "Job Interview Wrestling"! Let's all look out good there and hope you get Snapped back up by The Evil Empire, The Billionaire Boy or even the Sliming Idiot in a Black Baseball Cap. Not that I need to tell you, Joe Coffey won after the other Glasgow Boys caused a distraction.

Josh Bishop vs Jobber-the same who made a "Oh S**t " face who faced Jumbo. Josh finished the match in record time, but he was not done.

Kross and Scarlett Bordueax arrive backstage, looking for Bishop.

The Good Brothers Break their silence over The Attack on CJ Gallows. Gallows want the GBOT to pay so badly, they will put up the titles at Superfight in A Chicago Street Fight.

Lady Frost vs Saya Kamitami with Scarlett on commentary. Reminder, Lady Frost left AEW because she was being Jobbed out to loan Out Talent and Tiny Schoolgirls. So Anyway, Lady Frost got Jobbed out to A Loan out Talent. Not just lost, but had both finishers killed out of. After the Match, Then Saya and Rina got in Scarlett face and attacked her when she entered, because Lady Frost remembered she is a heel too, and joined in, this brought out Shotzi Blackhart to clean house, only to get swamped. But then Zamaya came out to scare the heels off but never took her eyes off Shotzi or her title. 

New Don Gato Bullsh*t! Danny McBride narrates while Tim Little gets smacked around by an Abuela in a Lucha Mask. While Don Gato mimes a tasty lick on a Guitar. 

MLW INSIDER: One of the many Superfight rundown. We learn one new thing. That the Debuting Yota Tsuji will issue an open challenge, but not for his IWGP Title-GOOD! HE DON'T GO HERE!

Special message by Tessa Blachard. She says There is no place on Earth that Doesn't know who Tessa Blanchard is.

At least she admits it!

Opera Cup Semi Final. Trevor Lee vs Austin Aries. I looked at this match the same way Gordon Ramsey looked at that Slice of Red Velvet Cake on Kitchen Nightmares. FINALLY, SOME GOOD FREAKING FOOD! The match Starts at breakneck speed and continues at that pace throughout. From now on all semifinals will be on a 30-minute time limit. After the blazing entry, Lee Hitting an Atomic Drop, taunting him about the pain in Austin's Quorn Vegan Sausage, Dropkick to follow up. Aries returns with a nerve pinch on Lee, which doesn't work, because Austin Isn't Samoan or Tongan! Lee powers out but A kitchen Sink is the Break Spot.

We are back with A Shoulder Trap on Lee, who powers out with A Bridge. Austin Misses a Discus Clothesline, and Austin gets a Dropkick to the face. Powerslam gets 2, Irish Whip, Lee steps into A Fireman Carry into the Rope, Austin staggers over the ropes...right where he wanted to be! Lee chases Austin into the trap. Lee came back, but Aries Slip Out at the Cave-in, Lee chases Aries, and Austin brainbusters Lee on the exposed Concrete Floor. Austin wants a Count out win, but Lee crawls at the last second, Last Chancery, Lee gets to the ropes, Austin thinks he won so he's already up the ramp, So when he realizes, he takes his and Lee's belts and attemp a belt shot with one, and fakes being hit with the other. While Lee pleads his case to the ref, he is wife open to being attacked by Aries, Dropkick and a Brainbuster Synchs it. Aries is your first Semifinalist. 

In the Carpark Josh Bishop and Kross brawl, as Scarlett and Dijak try to get them under control. 

And that's your lot for this week. No idea what's coming up next week, I assume more Opera Cup Semi Finals. 

MLW FUSION EPISODE 217: OPERA CUP SEMI FINALISTS CONFIRMED TONIGHT

 List of Champions-No Changes and some were at time of Filming

World's: Killer Kross 

Openweight: Austin Aries 

Middleweight: Templario

 Southern Crown: "Trevor Lee"(at time of Filming)/ "Joe Coffey" Circa September

Tag: The Good Brothers (Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson)

Women's: "Shotzi Blackhart"

Filmed In Phillie sometime between last month and this month as part of the Slaughterhouse Tapings.

Killer Kross Addresses the Crowd after his pinfall loss last week. He warns Bishop he can either be the Devil he knows or the Devil He Doesn't. But he won't Bury Talent, Not like some places he knows!

This brings out The Skyscrapers with Bishop Chomping at the bit. Dijak says because Kross got pinned in a tag match. THEY Bet Kross, which in a Roundabout Verbal Gymnastics Ways, Dijak Claims HE ALSO BET KROSS, So where is his Title Shot? Josh is not a Happy Bunny having to hear all this! Kross stirs the pot even more by telling Josh that he is advocating for his Shot at the Title, but if Bishop Doesn't want to be called a Kid, He has learn to speak up for himself.  Dijak refuses to give his partner the Mic, So Kross Ignores Dijak And Decides to give Bishop his Rematch. 

Zamaya vs Tiara James, who cut a Heel Promo as This new "Top Tier" Persona. She stole a Zamaya Sign, Ripped on the Crowd, then ripped the sign. Out comes Zamaya for her Jobber Feeding time, and despite bigging herself up, Tiara was barely a snack.

CJ Gallows no Shows his debut. This must be a Storyline.

Contra's Russian War Machine is what they are calling Masha Slamovich now. Josef Samael says the Russian Soldiers are trained not for individualism but in complete focus selfishness. Considering What we now know....

Lightning Match Okamura vs Love-Doug, who in the last 2 years since we saw him, found some dumbbells and a Tanning Bed, he still has the Lovestruck Gimmick. Okamura gets the win, but they no longer time these lightning matches. 

Backstage the Phantom of The Opera...Cup Austin Aries Refuses to Face Matt Riddle.

Opera Cup Qualifier Bracket 1-Riddle vs Mark Coffey. Joe Joins commentary, proud of his actions against Teddy Long. Mark dominates Riddle til the break spot, A Big Toss from the downs Riddle. German Suplex and Bro-ton clears Coffey to the outside, Tope On Mark and Wolfgang, Mark kicks out of a fisherman Buster, Roll up Counters the Bro-Stone, Leg Lariat by Coffey, Sunset Flip, Final Flash, and Backfist. Wolfgang Throws Mark back in after a double knockdown. R-K-BRO, and then the Brostone. And Matt Riddle fills the Final Qualifier Spot.

MLW INSIDER: Josh Bishop will get his return title match at Superfight and it will be last man standing 

Backstage: Samael Confronts Zamaya, warning her on behalf of Masha.

A recording was sent to ringside, Showing that early today, GBOT took out young Gallows. 

Featherweight championship match Shotzi vs RINA. First things first, when did MLW Drop the Term "Featherweight " off it's Women's Belt? It's just Women's Championship now! And it just doesn't gel with the Uniformity of the other belts' Naming Convention of Legitimacy. I wanted to give RINA a second Chance since she was on her own, But then Rob Drombroski said something I just found egregious that just Confirmed STARDOM is a joke, when he said "19 year old RINA is an Eight Year Pro!" And incase you couldn't Connect the Dots, he followed it up with "She had her first Professional Match at Eleven!" So I threw up my hands at this match. Plus Wiki exists so I knew no title change was happening (YET!) Shotzi Blackhart retains even when RINA nutshotted the Ref and brought out a Whip. 

After the match a Video Package of a Pink Cowboy hat played out and it revealed...Some Guy! Who gargled his name so badly I couldn't make it out! He did say, He's was going to take a Shower then come to MLW from New Japan to Superfight. 

I Don't know who he is, But I'm Sure Uncle Dave, Tony Khan and all the Sickos does!

Next week Saya vs Frost and the First Semi Final in the Opera Cup, Austin Aries Vs Southern Crown champion Trevor Lee. Due to next week being Halloween week, the Government has issued Next Monday as a bank Holiday, so the results will be up on Tuesday the 27th. 

DOUBLE FEATURE: WWE MONEY IN THE BANK AND MLW FUSION EPISODE 216

 Part 1-Money in the Bank 2026: "Hey, Roman-uh! You Can Have An Early Knight-uh!"

WWE Championship match Roman Reigns (C) vs L.A. Knight.

If This is L.A Knight's Only Chance at the Title,  then he just Showed the World he Could be a World Title Contender anywhere in the world, I know everyone will throw around the Word, "Burial", But if Knight is made to look like a Complete Idiot in a few hours, then it was a Burial. This was not a Burial...this was a Competitive Back and Forth where Roman was ALWAYS Going to Win. The Crowd was Turned from Being 50/50 to being behind LA Knight. Great Opener. Once again I have ask-What More Does L.A Knight have to Do to Be A World's Champion?

After the Match, The 946 were in the Crowd and were ambushed the Bloodline. They had a brawl so the Ring crew could Set up Ladders for the first Money In The Bank match 

Women's Money in the Bank Ladder match: Completely called this one. The only way this makes Sense if Creative's plans on Turning TIFFY! On Chelsea. This wasn't a Match, this is Garbage Disguised as Equality, because the girls can Give themselves brain damage too!

Bronson Reed vs Oba Femi. Bronson looks great after dropping 50 pounds. Slow paced Hard Hitting match to start but the weight loss in Reed is night and day as some Rush moves are now Faster and more Explosive. Halfway through Oba scouts the Tsumami. This draws out the Vision and Immediately the Ref throws out L***n P**l. Even the Refs want him away to Steal Toys Out Children's hands than Cheapen WWE even more! The rest of the Vision snuck brass knuckles but it wasn't enough, even though Oba took the Jagged Edge he won with the Fall from Grace.

Next was the Women's Triple Threat, Which, given there was a Six Woman Multi person match for a title shot, this match should have being one-on-one, But then, all the Women wouldn't get their Sh*t in for PLE Money! MLW has Ruined Triple Threats for me. They all follow the What I have dubbed "The Triple Threat Dance" Slide in, Do A Move, Take A Move, Slide Out! Complete Throwaway. The Chicken Waitress becomes champion for the fourth time.

Men's Money in The Bank Ladder match CM PUNK vs Kevin Owens vs J'Von Evans vs Trick Williams vs Penta was this show's Main Event.  The J'von hospitalisation/Ambulance Theft and  rehospitalisation through the same Ambulance roof was the Stupidest Thing I've seen wwe do all year. Really want to Cap off the year with something stupid, Didn't You? This made Penta Money in the Bank. Was the match Penta had with Roman that good? If so, shame I didn't see it on YouTube. Because they didn't recommend it to me the first time when was live!

And With that, My Reviews of Wwe ppvs is over. My Next WWE ppv will be the Royal Rumble in 2027. My focus will be soley on Fusion, The Christmas Special and possibly any other works til the year's end. 

Part 2-MLW FUSION EPISODE 216: SHEEEESSSSH!!!

List of Champions-No Changes and Two "at time of Filming"

World's: Killer Kross 

Openweight: Austin Aries

Middleweight: Templario

Southern Crown: "Trevor Lee" at Time of Filming/ "Joe Coffey" Circa September 

Tag: The Good Brothers (Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson)

Featherweight: "Shotzi Blackhart" 

Filmed in July as part of the MLWXSTARDOM Event in Queens New York.

Cold Open of last week's main event. At the Stairwell, Matt Riddle says once again "You Owe me" and Kross Retorts "Seriously, You've being here for hours, and that's the first thing you say?" 

Opera Cup Qualifier Bracket 2-Ikuro Kwan vs Andrew Everett. I reminded myself that years ago i said 10 or so years ago, I said Andrew Everett could be World's Champion in 5 years from whenever year I said it. Is Everett still smooth in the ring? Yes. But being under the Matt Hardy Learning During the "Broken" Gimmick has made him do Stupid Gimmicks like thinking he's Andre. Everett is still a treat to watch, especially when he breaks out Aerial moves that are so Crisp, but Ikuro Kwan Red Mists Andrew's face who eats a Shining Wizard. Kwon moves on into the Tournament. 

Opera Cup Qualifier Brackets 3-Big Damo vs Wolfgang. A Rivalry everywhere they worked. Two Big Bulls going at it. A Great Brawl with good back and forth. An Attempt was make to lift Damo, But "The Regulator's" back  gives out. A Superplex using leverage and gravity as Tag partners worked better. And Damo rose up like Jason, like it was nothing! Wolfgang went for a Top rope Senton out of desperation and Damo Hits a Reverse DDT. Samael's quest to melt the cup into a Sabre just got more realised, as 2 of his men are Semi Finalists in this year's Tourney.

Looking at the New York Skyline, LaBron Kozone is Joined by Rich Bochinni to interview LaBron.  He says Teddy is Fine and out of Hospital but at the same time he Promised Revenge Against The Glasgow Boys 

Jumbo vs A Jobber...the Bell Rang, and the Bell Rang. They showed ring crew fixing the ring as it supposedly moved from Jumbo's impact!

Tessa Blanchard is coming to MLW-For Realsies this Time!

Main Event Tag match Killer Kross & Matt Riddle vs The Skyscrapers... New York Street Fight, Tornado tag Match, No DQ Lazy Booking! The Only thing of merit is that Josh Bishop pinned Kross for the first time since winning the World's title

Next week, RINA vs Shotzi and CJ Gallows will Debut. 

MLW FUSION EPISODE 215: TESSA WHO?

List of Champions-No Changes and one at time of Filming 

World's: Killer Kross 

Openweight: Austin Aries 

Middleweight: Templario 

Southern Crown: Mark Coffey (Officially) 

Tag: The Good Brothers (Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson)

Featherweight: "Shotzi Blackhart"

Filmed in Queens as part of the MLWXSTARDOM Event, this is Fusion Episode 215

Recap of Fightland from last week, leading to a in ring promo by the Reigning World's champion, Killer Kross. This brings put the Skyscrapers with Dijak claiming he is the Captain and Josh Bishop is a Kid. This brings out Matt Riddle who still is claiming Kross "Owes him". This leads to a pull apart brawl. So Kross says he will speak to someone in charge (who....is actually in charge? We haven't seen Cesar or Salina in months, and MSL For Two Years!) To book a New York Street Fight... Next week.

Templario vs Sobernaro. Are MLW punishing Templario for winning the belt on a CMLL show? Because he hasn't being announced as the Middleweight champion! Anyway Lucha Match, Flippies and Dippies, no attempt in telling us who Sobernaro is. Ten minute Competitive so the people who are still coming in finding their Seats, don't miss anything. 

MLW INSIDER WITH RICH BOCHINNI: The Announcement that MLW returns to PPV Next month on the Streaming App Veeps. Sadly I won't be watching, because it'll be a fourth Standing Order put on my head. And it's not like mlw won't post photos like when they did in the past. And if the TV Specials are still a thing, good.

Joe Coffey vs Beastman in a Lightning Match. Joe played the the Chicken when faced with the Snarling mountain of a man. At least this told a Story even it was built at first as a Comedy Match. Even when Beastman neutralized Mark Coffey and Wolfgang, The Massive Beast missed the Top rope Splash. Making the Beast prey for the All Best For The Bells, The Coffey's Signature Spinning Clothesline. After the match, Rich Bochinni tried to get an interview, but the 3 rough him up.  With Joe once again calling out the Good Brothers for their tag championships.

Rich, Still out of breath and crumpled by the beating he took, interviews Austin Aries, who has taped half his face. He is now The Phantom of the Opera...Cup! In two weeks he faces Matt Riddle. He doesn't fear Riddles MMA abilities because he has to hit him First!

Lady Frost and Shotzi Blackhart vs H.A.T.E, who are Saya Kamatari and RINA. Rina's Nickname is "The Pink Devil " and Saya's Nom de Guerre is "The Phoenix Queen" and looking more at their uncovered Ring Gear, they look more like Str*ppers Than WWE'S Fatal Str*ppers!

Still Tom Lawler and Rob Big up these 2 90 pound former popstars that only the likes of Uncle Dave Melty-Head would have heard of. But the Story beyond is The Champion and Lady frost Not getting Along. And this would have been something...If we didn't know who's the Featherweight champion in Real Time.

Back from the Break, Rina is Legal with a Drop kick to Shotzi's back. Shotzi and Frost have been blind tagging each other all night, and the heels take advantage as the Match breaks down. Frost tags out from a knocked out Shotzi to get in Rina gets a pin after a Pink Devil Knee Drop. But Shotzi threw in Saya into the pin. The two Rivals argue as Kamatari's Spinning Kick knocks them out and Takes out her and Shotzi out of the ring. Saya a Gory Bomb for the win.

Next week the Opera Cup Returns with 2 more Qualifiers. Bracket 3-Big Damo vs Wolfgang and Bracket 2-Ikuro Kwan vs Andrew Everett and the New York Street Fight. This will be part of Next week's Double Feature including the Money in The Bank.

MAJOR LEAGUE WRESTLING FIGHTLAND: A FAST FORWARD.... TO TWO WEEKS AGO!

[EDIT]

In Memory of Benjamin Satterly aka "PAC" Whose Sudden Death after A Match at AEW'S PPV Last night was Announced 4 hours ago.

List of Champions-ONE CHANGE IN BOLD and one at time of Filming 

World's: Killer Kross 

Openweight: Austin Aries 

Middleweight: Templario 

SOUTHERN CROWN: JOE COFFEY (OFFICIALLY)

Tag: The Good Brothers Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson 

Featherweight: "Shotzi Blackhart "

Filmed 2 weeks ago in Charleston, North Carolina, This is Episode 214, presented as the TV Special,  Fightland.

So When Fightland? Now Fightland! TWO WEEKS LATER, FIGHTLAND! 

Templario vs The new Black Tiger, FKA MAGNUS, and I wanted to deride this as "Well, Magnus has Jobbed to Templario hundreds of times!", but this change as the 9th incarnation of the Anime character Might help him in the long run. He couldn't be worse than ISHIE-EEEEEEE! AND HIS TWO BROKEN KNEEE-EEEEEES! Remember I quoted the Proverb "A Golden Frog is Still A Frog' last week, well, A Lucha Jobber in a New Mask is Still A Jobber! Especially one who try to put over awkwardly put on Submission moves. 

MLW INSIDER WITH RICH BOCHINNI. THIS WEEK'S GUESTS: The Tag team champions, The Good Brothers and CJ Gallows. Doc says he is proud of his son and also makes a joke about the Avery Styles Non-Issue about not setting up the ring. This brings out The Glasgow Boys, who claim Carolina were built on the backs of Scottish Navis and are here to collect the respect due to their Kin...and it starts with them collecting Tag belts and beating up the Good Brothers in front of the "Young Boy". This angers Gallows as the Glasgow Boys leave, accomplishing what they set out to do. 

Lady Frost's open challenge was going to be a Jobber, but she was Choked out by Controversial Former TNA talent, Masha Slamovich, who was fired when her Abusive relationship towards her ex-partner, Former Mlw star, Akira was made public, So instead of bringing back Akira after suffering abuse, they picked up the book for the Abuser, after The Victim left! And this smart crowd, (and it also helps America that Tna still has tv channels that will work with them, unlike Britain) went absolutely ballistic when they realized who she was. And Contra's new strategy to grab every belt is now revealed as the Entourage for H.A.T.E look on. Take a Good look, Including Lady Frost, the 3 most hyped challengers are being leapfrogged by an abuser for views and clicks. YOUR MILEAGE MAY VARY IF THIS IS WORSE THAN SIGNING TESSA!

Main Event for tonight-Taboo Tag Tangle: Killer Kross and Josh Bishop are forced to face another set of Rivals, Austin Aries and Mistico. WILL THEY GET ALONG? Mistico and Kross start out, but Aries blind tags himself in. Tie-up and the World's champion backs the Openweight champ into a corner. A Shoulder barge knocks him down, and as he is doing his Yapping Dog impression to Kross, Mistico tags in as the Crowd gets hyped as this is something they want to see. Mistico's Moves Flummoxes the Las Vegas native, So Bishop tags in grabbing a chair, but Kross stops them from Getting Disqualified. 

Back from Break, Gator Roll by Bishop into a Tag, Kross has an Arm Rigger. But just as Mistico wants to Tag out, Austin Conveniently starts to mouth off with fans at ringside. Kamagiri by the Mexican into a Frankensteiner causes a Double knockout, Austin Screws Mistico to have him take a Double team move, only to feel a hand blind tagging him into the match. Bishop, sick off not being let to use the chair, chokeslams Kross as the brawl to the outside. Mistico takes out both heavyweights with a Tope Suicida, Austin poses with both the Heavyweight and Openweight belts and tries to smash Kross' head with the Heavyweight belt, Mistico kicks Austin into a Cross Jacket Sleeper for the Auspicious Win.

Next week,-I don't know, they didn't announce a thing, but I would be surprised if this Sunday's Slaughterhouse Taping was actually next week's episode.

MLW FUSION EPISODE 213-THIS SHOULD NOT BE THE FINAL EPISODE!

 List of Champions-No Changes and Two at time of Filming 

World's: Killer Kross

Openweight: Austin Aries

Middleweight: Templario

Southern Crown: "Trevor Lee"

Tag: The Good Brothers (Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson)

Featherweight: "Shotzi Blackhart"

Filmed in July in Queens New York as part of the MLWXSTARDOM Event. 

Before I start, I need to address the elephant in the Room. The Tubi Deal.

Currently, through proper Channels, Tubi is unavailable In Ireland. And as someone who lives out of his pockets week to week to do this, buying a VPN when at any time it can become illegal to do so, isn't worth the risk. If you thought the IRS In America are Hard-Asses, they are pussycats compared to the TV Licensing Bureau in Ireland. And You are not missing much! You get a pre-taped Show from months ago, 3 days earlier than YouTube.

The Japanese Proverb "A Golden Frog is Still A Frog." Is an Apt one in this situation. So, you get to see a prerecording 3 days early-SO WHAT?

Opera Cup Qualifier Bracket 5-Aries vs Tracy Williams. The World Travelling best worker in the Indies and New York Native got no reaction. The crowd sadly knew what this was, a filler with an indie guy not under contract. Shame, because this was a Solid Technical match, one would even say World of Sport-like! But who are you fooling, Austin Aries won.

Talk-N-Shop on the Road-Good Brothers Check in while on their 3-week trip to The Orient. From Sri Lanka, Doc Gallows announces C.J. Gallows will make his singles debut in a few weeks. 

Opera Cup Qualifier Bracket 4-Oddyssey Jones Vs Okamura. A quick win for the Other New York Native in this tournament. 

MLW INSIDER WITH RICH BOCHINNI. THIS WEEK'S GUEST, The Featherweight champion, Shotzi Blackhart, who will pick her next Challenger. That's when H.A.T.E from STARDOM arrive to attack Shotzi. I can't tell what they look like because they are wearing merch T-shirts over their gear, but one is a Pink haired girl with a whip and the other is a girl in heavy goth makeup and what looks like Ass-less Chaps. And THIS? Is who we have being hyping up for months? These Two Schoolgirls who they treat like Hell's Greatest Soldiers? SURE(!)

Backstage: Killer Kross calls Josh Bishop on the Phone. Bishop thinking Kross is a Cop, pulls a "Dave's Not Here, Man!" Even when Kross tells him he's not a Cop. Kross has Matt Riddle in his social circle. You'd think he'd have more patience for people with ..."Altered Perceptions of Reality".

Main Event: Opera Cup Qualifier Bracket 6-Mistico vs Trevor Lee. Lee the Southern Cross Champion and The Only Double winner of The Opera Cup shake hands to start. After a Drop down, Leapfrog to start both shoot the legs to reset the match.

Hot shot by Lee after Mistico's Irish Whip, followed by a sliding Elbow into the corner, where they trade Flair Chops, into a Head scissors and a Low Abdominal Stretch, Lee Heels it with Stomps the Mexican's Ankles and Wrists when he got to the ropes. And that is the Break Spot

Back from Break, Mistico Recovers from Punches With some Flippies and Dippies, Austin Aries Comes Out in the Mask he Ripped off Mistico recently. A double kick means Double Knockdown. Powerbomb countered into a hurracanrana. Powerslam after Mistico misses his own moonsault, he then stumbles into a loud kick. Cave in misses. Mistico Charges Lee gets his knee up, a German Suplex follows. Aries Pulls the Ref to the floor and pushes him into Harm's way by Mistico's flying move. Mistico regains his stolen Mask, but Aries Nutshots Him from Behind and gives him the Brainbuster. he takes out a protesting Trevor Lee. When The ref comes to, he starts a count. When Austin Realizes MLW uses a 20 count for the influx of Luchadores on the Roster. He beats up Mistico more to not answer the count of twenty. Lee Wins by Countout and Mistico is Denied making History in the Opera cup once again!

Next week Is The deferred Fightland event, where the Taboo Tag Tangle is the only confirmed match. They may have already scrambled to wipe any mention of Tessa Blanchard. Join me next week for whatever else they throw at us. Also, scramble over to Bluesky and Throw me a follow to eamonnisenli.bsky.social

MLW EPISODE 212: WHEN FIGHTLAND? WHY FIGHTLAND? WHY NOT FIGHTLAND?

I need to address something that only got cleared in this episode. The Fightland ppv is no longer a ppv, but a special episode to be aired IN TWO WEEKS! I want to say, is that MLW'S website was no help in dishing out that information. And in advertising Fightland on last week's Fusion, as if it was still a Live Pay-per-view. As I said before, MLW Won a Lawsuit against WWE For millions for proving the fed was Monopolizing Wrestling, so you would think Court Bauer would pay some Office Boy or his Secretary Extra to Update his Promotions Wiki and Socials. And given the Whole Contraversy over Tessa Blanchard, Transparency and Honesty will be need more than anything.

Unless mlw gets their act together, expect Only wwe ppvs, with Money in The Bank being the last ppv overall from this site in 2026. I will be covering Fightland and any specially named episodes of Fusion, but only because they are the scheduled show for that week.

List of Champions-No Changes and one at time of Filming 

World's: Killer Kross 

Openweight: Austin Aries

Middleweight: Templario 

Southern Crown: "Trevor Lee" 

Tag: The Good Brothers (Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson)

Featherweight: Shotzi Blackhart 

Filmed in June and July In Queens, New York as part of the MLWXSTARDOM Event 

Video Package on the Opera Cup-That is interrupted by Josef Samael. He has two men in the Tournament and a better chance of Contra winning, and when they do, they will melt down the cup and mould it into a saber to continue destroying the Antiquated History of Wrestling. Now I kinda want to see that! It won't happen, but I still want to see that!

Zamaya vs a Quote "1 Year Pro" as if that is something to be Public Knowledge and Celebrated. Zamaya squashed her opponent.

The announcement that Fightland is in two weeks as a Special not a ppv. We can surmise mlw will no longer be doing anything longer than 50 minutes ever again!

Backstage The Skyscrapers arrive, the animosity between them seemingly over, though Bishop still Cops an attitude about Veterans.

Backstage Riddle shows Kross he got a haircut. Does that mean Mr "I Smoke W**d So I Don't Hit my Wife" is maturing? Unfortunately Not!

Opera Cup Qualifier Bracket 7-Labron Kozone vs Joe Coffey. Match of the Night. What is a bigger Travesty-The fact LaBron Kozone isn't in a Bigger Company? Or How a Big Company saw nothing in The Glasgow Boys. Heavy Hitting match, After Some rough chops, the holds started to be exchanged starting with Kozone hitting a Big Back Body Drop. Mark Coffey draws the referee, so Wolfgang can trip up LaBron. Side Slam by the Scot, only a two count. Kozone fires back. Coffey attempts to perform a Boston Crab, but LaBron powers out. Kozone sets up a Powerbomb, but he sells his back, Coffey takes this miscue as a chance for a Roll up Crab. Labron gets to the ropes and ref forces a break. A shoulder barge into a T-bone Suplex  into a Double knockdown Break Spot.

After The break, Kozone with an impressive Set of Sweeps and kicks a man his size has to right to do as well. Coffey with a Clothesline gets 2. Another Distraction only leads to 2, Test of Strength, with Coffey wins into a German Suplex and Kozone kicks put, Powerbomb only gets 2, but it's a Set-up for the Lariat for the win. LaBron Kozone Qualifies!

Opera Cup Qualifier Bracket 8-Diego Hill vs Anthony Greene. Former NXT Jobber Anthony Greene. WOULDN'T YOU KNOW WHO WON THE PONY, Hill Qualifies!

Matt Riddle vs Brick Savage is your main event for this week. And I think the H*sh has melted Riddle's brain as he tried to put a sleeper on Savage from the Jump. And Savage Demolishes him with a Splash. Riddle fires back from this Drubbing he is getting, but Brick stands during the Bro-Ton and uses that momentum as a Powerbomb, A Judo Flip Jawbreaker as a finisher and a Big Upset Victory ends this episode of Fusion.

Next week More Qualifiers for the Opera Cup as Mistico faces Trevor Lee in Bracket 6.
