Usually, I would open any review of An MLW show with a list of champions-Not this time! This show was Pointless, even one that was made from preliminary matches from the previous show. This show was made into a themed show that seemingly makes mockery of MLW's once core edict of "Hybrid Wrestling" by making a show with nothing but hardcore and gimmick matches....a week before Slaughterhouse, the ppv special that is nothing but hardcore and weapon matches! As soon as I read the card for this show, I knew no belts were changing hands!
Bobby Fish with the Rogue Horsemen Vs Kevin Knight In What was "The Jet's" official debut in his hometown of Atlanta. This was an Aew Rampage style squash, where they let the Jobber get some hits in because it's his home town Fish Wins with a clothesline. Assault by the other Horsemen after the bell. Save by Bombaye Fight Club. Alex Kane gets on the Mic and insults the Rogue Horsemen one by one, Calling Bobby Fish, the worst one from the Undisputed Era, BRG "Ellen Degeneres" Brock Anderson "Nepo-Baby" and CW as the Anderson we all forget exists. Kane offers membership to Knight, which he accepts.
Akira prepares for Taipei Death match.
Taekwondo Rules Match for the featherweight championship. This piqued my interest a bit, but that Fizzled out quickly as it was less of a martial art fight between Delmi Exo and Janai Kai, than it was an extended "YOU KICK ME, AND THEN I KICK YOU!" Spotfest, The ref stopped the match when Delmi's shoulder bandages came undone! 2 matches and we are only 10 minutes into a 2 hour show!
Video Package of Mistico reflecting on his Opera Cup win
Barrio Brawl Between Matthew Justice and Jesus Rodrigeuz. In a trashy Hardcore match, where outsiode looking in, it looked like a White trailer park Trash, fighting a Fat Hispanic Bystander, It was not was not the look they were going For But this match was one sided, even without the use of weapons. After the match Bad dude Tito Escondido attacks Justice after his win and gives him a Tequila Screwdriver.
Trevor Lee is coming to MLW. It looks like he's doing an extension of the Rich guy gimmick he had in NXT but with a "Sell Out" Twist to it!
Next was what was Billed as Boxing vs Brazillian Jiu Jistu Randall Royce Vs Danny Stratos
2 Random Schlubs they dressed in boxing Shorts and Gis to re-enact The Ali/Inoki Photos as the crowd pooped on this display, as they looked to the entrance-way, because of their was ever a match made to have a "Shocking" run-in by Contra, This was it...WE GOT DIJAK....So Close enough!
Video Package on the Rogue Horsemen and Jibbles.
Video Package of Paul Walter Hauser on set of some Crap on an App movie, calling out the heels. Especially JBL.
Atlanta Street Fight: Brett Ryan Goseleen Vs Alex Kane. Good action to start with but they just won't stop with the weapons matches and it made this show such a slog to watch through. Alex Kane put a trashcan onto Brett and Did the Piñata Spot with Kendo Sticks! BRG Gouged the eyes of Kane with the most Ridiculous Weapon I've seen in a wrestling Match-A Gold Bar, and Yes By looking at it, it's not a real Gold bar, it's opaque plastic, But after MJF'S diamond ring was stolen in London, what's stopping a mark from trying to steal what he thinks is a genuine gold F**king Bar? The finish was suppose to be the Mark of Kane Suplex through a trashcan, but it had some roundness to it still so it rolled away. After the match, the Rogue Horseman attacked the Bomaye Fightclub.
Taipei Death match, Between Akira who they are Booking, vs Only Ikuro Kwan, The Bump guy for Contra, who is only tag champion for a takeover story line they made a haims of last month when Kruger throw a fireball 2 feet in front of a referee in match with an injured man...whcich he was winning! Wait this next week, when i have the results for Slaughterhouse when I reveal what MLW have planned for Kojima's next challenger! Anyway before that. Taipei Death match, a Violent match where the 2 opponents Fists are taped Shut and then have broken glass glued onto them. a match like this is a blow-off to a feud, a capper, a final chapter....AND YOU WASTE IT ON 2 PRELIM GUYS IN A NON-TITLE MATCH? At this point I was pressing the 10sec plus button on my phone often to just get to the end, which was Kwan Spraying Mist into the eyes of Akira. Wait Ikuro Kwan won a match?
Vale Tudo Rules Match for the Golden Ticket for a title match, Between the title shot holder, Matt Riddle and Filthy Tom Lawlor. Special judge Ernest Miller, who did nothing! This was an MMA Rules match and it had no weapons or dirt or gimmicks, But it wasn't a wrestling match, However, after a night of Dirt and weapons and Gimmicks, I Took all i could get. Finish was the ref stopping the match after mounted blows by Riddle . After the match, MSL fires Lawlor, who puts hands on him, until Dijak takes out Lawlor! The World Titan Federation has Future Endevoured one of it's top stars!
