MLW FUSION EPISODE 209: AVERNO, NO, NO, NO!

 List of CHAMPIONS-CHANGES IN BOLD and one more champion at time of Filming 

World's: Killer Kross 

Openweight: Austin Aries 

MIDDLEWEIGHT: TEMPLARIO (Kushida is not billed as champion, but would lose belt in May, when this was filmed)

Southern Crown: "Trevor Lee "

TAG: GOOD BROTHERS (DOC GALLOWS AND KARL ANDERSON)

Filmed in May in Chattanooga, Tennessee 

Killer Kross cuts a promo. Just like before, the open contract for anyone to step up is still there. This brings out all 3 Skyscrapers. Dijak bigs up Bishop Dyer and this segment must have being edited, because they make mention of the "I'm Not Baron Corbin, I'm Bishop Dyer, Idiot!" tweet that became a T-shirt (YEAH...ABOUT THAT!) Dijak introduces himself then Josh Bishop takes the mic and says, "And I'm Josh Bishop...and I'm not afraid of Anyone!", he charges the ring and ot ends with a pull apart with the whole roster. 

Zamaya vs No Entrance no introduction. Here's a nameplate that says Angelica Risk.  Put it on her chest so they can identify the body Lightning match so 10-minute time limit. Zamaya won in 2.

Matt Riddle speaks out on MLW Insider with Rich Bochinni. Matt still waffles on that Kross "Owes Him". But also to announce he will be entering the Opera Cup Tournament that starts in 4 weeks.

Backstage are the new Featherweight roster members. Jazzy Yang, the daughter of Jimmy Yang. And Corrine Joy who is an Influencer Turned Wrestler....Yeah!.... HOW LONG DO I GIVE HER?

"About A Week!"

They don't even have matches til next week, according to Shotzi who introduces herself.  She says she needs an opponent next week and the two Noobs play rock paper scissors which Jazzy wins. This display disgusts Lady Frost who has a genuine Claim to the title after technically beating Shotzi in a Triple Threat last week, even though it was Scarlett who was pinned. so if Frost wants a match, she can face Joy next week. Wait. Lady Frost gets to wrestle Green Girls with no experience? It's like she never left AEW!

Kushida vs Trevor Lee for the Southern Crown championship. A Fine, Nicely Wrestled match. Once again this is the Kushida they could have had in WWE if they didn't insist to still dress like Marty McFly. After the match, Trevor announced he was recently made a father.  This was interrupted when a Big Bruiser came out with Samael and destroyed Lee and a group of Security Jobbers.

Triple threat match for the Openweight championship: Austin Aries vs Mistico vs Averno. Averno like I said before, looks more like a Balding Plumber than Balding Plumber Moxley, and did he get Fatter In 2 years? This match was dragged out! This was not Wrestling! This was CMLL putting their foot down and supplying guys for main events they don't deserve. Because for every Mistico, Templario or Hechicero, there are 10 Balding Plumbers or Sweaty Grandpas! After 20 minutes of taking turns to be Cool Move Doers, Doing Cool Moves, Aries Did something to wake this crowd up! He Stole Mistico's Mask and while Mistico covered up his face, Austin slipped the mask on, put Averno in the brainbuster and retained his belt for Nuclear Heat!

Next week, Jazzy and Corrone, make their IN-RING DEBUTS, Jazzy gets a title shot against Shotzi, Corrine Joy gets Lady Frost. Who will join Riddle in the spread for this year's Opera Cup? Josh Bishop faces the World's Champion. That and all fallout from this week's episode, only on the Enlightened Page.
