MLW Fusion Episode 197: A TITLE CHANGE? THAT IS NEW INFORMATION

 List Of Champions-No Changes but some champions were "During Filming "

World's: Killer Kross

Openweight:"Blue Panther "

Middleweight:"Kushida"

Tag: The Skyscrapers (Dijak and Bishop Dyer)

Featherweight: "Shoko Nakajima "

(Filmed in February as part off what was billed as Lucha Apocalypto this year)

Featherweight championship match opened the show. Shotzi Blackhart vs "Big Kaiju" Shoko Nakajima. The Godzilla entrance with this 4ft 11 schoolgirl stomping on cardboard building is still ridiculous. Shotzi actually locked up to open this match. Will wonders ever cease? Despite looking like complete fools, this was a technical bout. Shoko clocked Shotzi and turned heel for this match. Then both women exchanged Sentons. When Shoko missed the Kaiju Splash, it was all over. She took the T-Knee-o and a Senton to crown a new champion. After the match, Shotzi alluded to Zamaya, saying she's not done fighting monsters.

Diego Hill vs Mistico. Great match. When Mistico wrestles Trampoline cowboys, he just joins in playing, but There is something to Diego Hill, that I like. Whether it really is Blue Panther as his Mentor or just the potential in front of us, if I was Shawn Micheals , Tony Khan, or even TNA's Smiling Idiot in a Baseball Cap. I would sign Hill to Developmental deal,  Right Now! Mistico won in the most back-and-forth match he's had in a long time. After the match,  and thankfully subtitled, Mistico praised Blue Panther as a Maestro, but he Proclaimed Hill as the Future. This drew the ire of one Certain Small Angry Turnip Eating Man, As Austin Aries arrived to throw Tortillas at Fans from the entrance way. He tells Blue Panther to put his Title on the line next week, and tells Hill to be at ringside to see how a real master works!

Alan Angels vs Kushida cancelled after backstage attack. Kushida was Joined by new Contra member, Okamura. OK, So Okamura was getting more heelish last year, but this is how you announce the turn? More odd when all of two years Okamura was right beside Kojima leading the charge against Contra, So to announce it this way is very strange. Angels will face Kushida next week.

Rich Bochinni interviews Hammerstone, after the former was attacked by the later. He doesn't attack Rich, but he does threaten him to be his stooge to the office...or else!

Tag team championship table match between The Skyscrapers and The Good Brothers. Garbage Match. You should have ended the show with Hill VS Mistico. This was not A wrestling match, so I did not take notes. Skyscrapers Retain. After the match the Good Brother Miraculously revived after the bell and what did they do to close out this Show? They Fought off!

Next Week On MLW:

We have two title Matches, As Killer Kross Defends against former world Champion Matt Riddle in the main event. Blue Panther puts the openweight title up against Austin Aries. Alan Angels gets his revenge on Kushida after the attack he took tonight, MLW Booker Cesar Duran Returns with an Announcement that there will be Quote "No turning back from!" Could this announcement be the long rumoured "Southern Cross Championship" and what does That Mean?

All this and More Next Monday Morning, Only From the Offices of Enlightened Towers!

PREVIOUSLY ON MAJOR LEAGUE WRESTLING. 

At The Battle Riot Event, Killer Kross went the distance in the featured Namesake 40 man match, becoming champion in the process. 5 months on, we have The champion address the public with Major League Wrestling brass, presenting him.

The other newsworthy event was Krule Kruger turning on his Contra teammates to focus soley on retaining his title.  In the Battle Riot, after Krule made his entrance, Contra made their move. One by one Contra members including the new member Kushida, destroyed the then world's champion, including an obese man in a mask. Who is this massive interloper?

This special 2 hour show is actually two back to back episodes of Fusion.

Number one Contenders match for the Featherweight championship Tampon Girl vs Shitzi Blackfart. Indie Crap that The Fed could never wash out of them. Instead of locking up, they instead go for Headscissors and 619. Good match later on, just lock up please. Shotzi wins with a Senton of the top rope.

After the Match Shotzi wants Nakajima for the title.

Press conference on the new world champion Killer Kross with Court Bauer Danny McBride and Scarlett Bordueax. Kross uses the event to issue an open contract...unfortunately there will still be Sponsorship with Don Gato. As the Aztecas steal some bottles. By the way, where are the Durans and MSL? We see no one screen bookers in this return to television. 

Backstage,  Alex Hammerstone learns someone has already signed the open contract. And he is not happy with Rick Bochinni when he finds out. 

Squash match Scarlett Bordeuax vs Aleah James. Anyone who does a Stinkface or sells a Stinkface as a false finish isn't taking this seriously.  Bordeuax wins with a Muscle Buster. 

Backstage, The Good Brothers arrive and the Skyscrapers ambush.

Contra package. We never learn who the fat guy is, but we are to believe Kruger is buried in a tar pit!

Blue Panther Package. It leads to Diego Hill getting advice in present.

Main Event for hour 1; Austin Aries vs Trevor Lee. Great match. Good technical match and competitive back and forth. Despite powering through the Last Chancery, Aries was too much.  After the match Aries calls out Mistico, still Seething after the loss of the Opera Cup last winter.

Backstage.  It's revealed Matt Riddle signed the open contract. 

Hour 2 opens with the Skyscrapers joining commentary. 

Coffey Brothers vs The Good Brothers. You want to know why the WWE tag division is the worst in the world.  Firing Teams like Gallus. Great match. But let's be Honest, it's the Cool T Shirt Bro Tribute Show. Now that The Bullet Club is officially finished. 

Don Gato ad. The one we saw before but was built as "The Origin Story"

Next was Diego Hill vs Adam Brooks.

A clash of styles-a High Flyer vs a Bruiser. However as a High Flyer. Diego started the match Clowning Brooks. And so you should. But not in the beginning of the match. And only after your High Flyer gets his ass kicked! Brooks kicks out of Hill's finish. The ref got Booed for that.  Hill still won after an impressive finish.

Shoko Nakajima accepts via Satellite 

Zamaya squash match. Zamaya looks like Willow Nightingale dressed as A Power Ranger Human Villian OC. She's Trying to be the frightening big woman heel like Awesome Kong or Luna Vachon...the Jobber was the same height. Also someone has to sit down Major League Referees and explain what "One Fall" means. It means you cannot have people fight on the outside then do a count-out when one come enters, when the camera starts filming you!. Also the Ref they had to act all a-scared off looked like a Petrol Attendant.

Backstage Riddle cuts a promo. On how it's still his title and that's why Alexander Hammerstone can go cry about it!

Bishop Dyer vs Hammerstone. Who do we cheer for? Hammerstone is a heel. And so is Dyer. Anyway two big Beefy men slapping meat. Anyway after a Plodding age, the finish was The Good Brothers stopping Dijak at the pass, Dyer distracted long enough to walk into a powerbomb.

Part 2- WWE Clash in Italy: "Turin gets Shrouded in Glory....And Adverts!"

Cody Rhodes vs Gunther For one of the world titles opened the show, with this happy European crowd. Great Opener to this show. Crowd was split down the middle something, that was evident 60 percent of this show. Controversy was raised by the finish. When Cody pinned Gunther when his foot was under the bottom rope. This is not over. IT'LL NEVER BE OVAH! 

"HEY LA Knight, Liv, And Giul-Uh, creative have nothing for you, Pal-uh! So sit in the crowd-uh!"

Rhea Ripley vs Jade Cargill Was next. And news to me, I didn't know Rhea's grandfather was Italian. I knew she was Italian-Australian. The crowd loves Rhea. Jade is Still the Drizzling Sh*ts! And it's the only reason Mia Yim is put with her. However one look at B-Fab, who was out of position to pull Jade's leg onto the top rope. And you are like "alri't, Bet!" It was so bad, Charlotte had to interfere to show old Be-Flat how it's done. Rhea retains when her cronies were disposed with.

Oba Femi vs Brock Lesner Rematch. One sided Dominace by The Beast as expected. He didn't just beat Oba. He didn't just humiliate Oba by putting him through the table. He Destroyed him. After the match. He said to Oba "1 and 1, B***h! This is another thing that isn't over. And with Brock's hometown of Minneopolis hosting Summerslam this year, and retirement still rumoured, is the rubber match the final match?

Becky Lynch vs Sol Ruca for the Beckster's women's Intercontinental Championship. And Sol Ruca has finally gotten over her Yips! As she finally hit Sol Snatcher to win her first main roster title. 

And to finally finish as the sun settled over the Alps, Tribal Combat was your main Event.  Jacob Fatu grew back his chest hair, his dreads and his Aura! He was mean to the fans as he came out, he was the heel in his match, though the crowd was split down the middle again. This was not a Wrestling match. This was a brawl; the only thing of merit is Roman used a metal toolbox to weaken Jacob's hands thus weakening The Tongan Death Grip. It was a grueling fight that went to the wire. But Roman Retains not only the world title, but the title of Tribal Chief. As a dejected Jacob leaves the ring, he sees MFT In the crowd, since we can't let Solo get beyond being jealous of Roman.

Join me next week for Episode 3? ...I guess.... of MLW Fusion.
