Out comes The Tequila Mascot for the Middleweight championship match between Templario vs Divebomb Diego Hill. A good choice for the Opener. Templario gets in Hill's face, even though both are faces. Leapfrog Drop down spot leads to a Space Flying Tiger by Hill. THAT WAS A THING OF BEAUTY! Clothesline by Hill, GTS, Clothesline by Templario. Hill counters with Psycho Knee, Templario with a Spinaroonie to recover. Shooting Star by Hill didn't hit all of it but enough to Charley Horse Templario legs. He walks it off outside, baiting the Challenger into a outside inside powerbomb. Rope walk frog splash gets 2, Body Slam gets a crowd reaction. Hill caught in a Suplex, counters into a powerslam. Making his way to do a Splash, Mistico is caught by Hill doing a Combat Roll into a Palm strike to set up a Superplex spot only to gets 2. Flying Cutter only gets 2. Powerbomb after the missed Divebomb. And this powerbomb finishes this stellar Opener.
After the match Jesus bigs up Chattanooga on behalf of Don Gato. This brings out Contra with Okamura barely gets out the words "Title Shot". Kwon mists Jesus in the face, meaning it's Kwon who wants the title shot by spitting mist at a Stooge for the house of Duran, it seems too familiar of things they have done before.

In the Back, Josh Bishop refuses to listen to Dijak's advice, something Kross sees in the shadows.
NO HOLDS BARRED FOR THE WORLD TITLE-Killer Kross Vs Josh Bishop. While this was a Garbage Match, I had to include the finish because I never seen it before. After tearing up the Ring, Kross draped the Belt over the middle rope and got on the mic he told Young Bishop if he wanted the title so much, reach for it as he put the Sleeper on his Challenger. Bishop didn't reach out; he tried to fight out and that showed the audience he wasn't ready. After the match, It looked like Bishop got the teachable moment. And that's good, because we learned via Edited recording that the Main event at Next week's Fightland ppv- The Taboo Tag Tangle like the Wcw Battle Bowl, sees Fueding Wrestlers Tag with each other as Kross and Bishop now team against Austin Aries and Mistico.
Next week is either a Double feature or Just a Fusion as they made no mention on this episode that Fightland is live on YouTube. Fightland is one week away and neither Mlw's Website nor Wiki has confirmed it. I Can only confirm that on Fusion Bracket 7 of the Opera Cup, Kozone faces the other Coffey Brother, Joe. And Matt Riddle will face Brick Savage.
I will be leaving my Town this weekend for Family Reasons. However, it will not interfere with my writings, and it will be up on Monday same as always!
