Episodes 199 and 200 filmed as a double feature because if you look at the first 4 matches...well, they made the right Choice!

Filmed as the remaining half of the Lucha Apocalypto event filmed in February, this is episodes 199 and 200 of Fusion 

Episode 199-Oops! All Squashes!

Sobernaro vs Neon start the show with the cold open of what happened last week with the dq finish of the world title match. Flippies and Dippies, and a lot of moves that could be finishers being kicked out of 1. Sobernaro gets heat by kissing Female hecklers (God, I hope they are plants!) Finish was Sobernaro distracting the ref by feigning seeing a run in, a nut shot on Neon and a Sidewalk slam to end this. 

Okamura vs local competitor. Absolute squash one sided and just lame. You couldn't use this match to build a new star?

Kojima returns next week. How will he react to his Friend Okamura becoming his enemy?

Backstage Kross was to accompany Scarlett for her match but gets annoyed by Riddle who has Hammer in two weeks (I.E next week's post.)

Scarlett vs Blair Onyx, who looks like a Brunette Alexa Bliss Tribute dressed in a Spiderman onesie. And as a tribute act, she bites Scarlett's ass during the Stinkface and hits a sister Abigail because of course. Then Scarlett hits a Clothesline and then Scarlett letter for the win.

Shotzi in a Forest does Scooby Doo crap in the forest lake where Krule was buried. (I thought it was a Tar pit!) He is revived by the Featherweight champion via a Car Battery which she just happened to carry in her backpack. 

Fantasico Mania mention. Fantasico Mania was the joint ppv with New Japan and CMLL during Wrestlemania week which will become the next block of tapings.

Alexander Hammerstone vs Sweaty Grandpa. Hammerstone tears off his mask, even though Sweaty Grandpa doesn't wrestle in a mask. Everyone goes to the outside way too often In this promotion, But Hammerstone at the very least has his assaults look more deliberate than anyone else. Ultimo Guerrero has more on the tank to Hotdog during this match, but Hammerstone with a Ref Bump and Nightmare Pendulum ends Sweaty Grandpa. After the match Riddle is interviewed by Rob Drombroski and calls Hammer trash and they end this hour with a pull apart brawl.

Episode 200-Rise of Krule, Loss of Aura!

Openweight championship sees the 43-year veteran, Blue Panther vs the ever Divisive and Acerbic Austin Aries. Hammerlock exchange hammerlocks but he beats on an Elderly man, however it's not as one sided as you think, as the Crowd rallies to the side of the Legend, and it builds up the momentum for a suicide Dive. Aries comes to ambush Blue Panther with a chair, but Diego Hill, who had been mentored by Panther stops it, but Hill accidentally gets taken out by Blue Panther flying Senton. He gets thrown back in by Aries, hit by a flying knee and then when put In a Last Chancery, Blue Panther doesn't answer the ref, so he's done. But that doesn't mean Aries is done, as he tries to tear off Blue Panther's mask and when Hill stops it, gets Spat on for his troubles. Aries is your new Openweight champion and I bet he won't shut up about it!

Backstage: The Skyscrapers invade Shotzi's Locker room as they didn't get one. After Dire spits into her helmet. Security throws her out. 

Zamaya vs Lili Ruiz, she gets an entrance so she's probably on the roster. Didn't save her from Zamaya. 

Backstage, Shotzi vents to Krule. so Krule is now Dixie-Era Abyss, he was a monster heel, now he a simp for a Face girl for no good reason!

Mistico vs Templario was officially billed as the main event, but we would have Krule vs Bishop Dyer later on. Mistico and Templario had a great match as always.  Flippies and Dippies as Standard, but unlike the other Lucha match, Templario has groundwork to rise up the high-flying moves, plus the rep of Mistico and the fact Templario is the only man to beat Mistico in MLW, means there is a story that can be told. Good back and forth, dynamite action and a Fiery crowd after what Aries did. Finish was a hard Irish whip into a flashy la Mistica. After the match Don Gato offers a bottle of Tequila to toast for 200 episodes of MLW!

MLW Insider with Rich Bochinni. He reports that since Cesar's Disappearance, Owner of MLW, Court Bauer will take over day to day management. He also says Killer Kross will defend his title on his international dates. 

Blood and Thunder is 8 weeks away and will be a tv special. 

Dyer vs Krule is your bonus match for the evening. My Comparison to Abyss for Face Krule still stands. He now has a girl for no reason and his Aura is gone! He could barely beat Dyer who despite being Tag champion is booked to lose constantly and by his own Stupidity. Case in Point, Krule wins with the ddt on Dyer's own tag belt. After the match Dijak blindsides Krule and ties him to the ropes to attack Shotzi until the Good Brothers make the save. And we end the 200th episode with Gallows, Anderson, Shotzi and Kruger getting legless on Tequila.
