MLW PRESENTS ERIC BISCHOFF'S ONE SHOT: BOMAYE GOES BUST!

 List of champions 

World's:Satoshi Kojima 

Openweight: Matthew Justice 

Middleweight: Mistico 

Tag: Contra (Ikuro Kwan and Minoru Sazuki) 

Featherweight: Janai Kai 

(PREVIOUSLY ON....Paul Walter Hauser's Podcast?

Yes, the following show is completely booked by Eric Bischoff, who as a Guest on Paul Walter Hauser's Podcast, was invited to be a booker for a day in MLW. So throw out everything from last month, we are focusing on Eric's "Vision".)

So the man of the hour, opens the show and after some happy talk, he interrupted by the "Filthy Bros"-I guess Tom Lawlor and Matt Riddle are a team now-And they Acknowledge Eric was at NXT, after making a Bankruptcy joke, Eric makes Riddle's match against Dijak for Riddle's Title shot on the line.

Eric reveals that he has created a new match for Kings of Colosseum: The Gravity Gamble; a unholy Spawn of the ladder match and Feast or Fired-Between Kruger, Akira, BRG, Justice and Lee. Eric goes to leave but Kruger comes out to intimidate Bischoff, so Eric brings out his Muscle, the former Dabba-Kato, Baba Thunder comes out for a surprise match.

They actually found someone bigger than Kruger! Kruger tries his Finisher, Scorched Earth (Full Nelson Bomb) but couldn't get his arms around Baba Thunder. This was a Bullfight, big Hits and nothing Technical. Except when Kruger Finished the match with a nasty Choke hold. When Thunder came too, he was Surrounded by the Rest of Contra. Kruger Gave Thunder the choice, Join or Die, Baba thunder chooses to join Contra.

Bischoff joins commentary and it's now him being a parody of his self, bringing up all the stunts that ruined the companies he worked for.

Backstage Paul Walter Hauser is arguing with The Andersons, who laugh about taking out Walter's trainer Paul London. After calling the Andersons "B*tches", Eric Bischoff sprints out to defuse the Situation, He reminds the Andersons they have a tag match tonight between Matthew Justice and a Mystery Partner. So Walter wants to be the Partner so Eric excepts, which would have being a Surprise...if Paul Walter Hauser's face was not on the Press Release used as the YouTube thumbnail of this Special for weeks! Alex Kane comes up and insults Bischoff and accuses him of turning all he worked  for into "WCW 3.0"

Delmi Exo Squashes some Balding woman and calls out Janai Kai. At Dallas in January, it'll be Kai Vs Exo Hair Vs Title.

Backstage, MSL and Dijak Arrives, Saint Laurent slips... something into Dijak's Coat.

Also backstage Cesar asks if Eric will have "HLA" On this show, Which Makes Eric Grimace on this Exploitative angle, but Cesar Duran says he doesn't want Hot lesbian Action, he wants Hot LUCHA Action. Eric says that he doesn't still see the appeal  of the mask, but he will make Mistico Vs Trevor Lee, but He wants Mistico to not only put up the title, but his mask too. Cesar seethes at this decision.

Next was the Fan's Choice match. On MLW.com fans had a choice between the stipulation for Alex Kane Vs Bobby Fish. The Choices were Taped Fist, Kickboxing or UWFI Rules. The fans chose UWFI rules:

  • No Pinfalls, match ends in Submission, KO, or Stoppage.
  • Match is on a points system Both men will start with 15 points, Rope breaks cost points. Technical moves such as Suplexes and submission holds gain points. Strikes gain fewer points, and if the Referee believes a Contestant is over reliant on strikes he has the power to end the match in favour of the other contestant.
  • Use of Foreign Objects or Illegal strikes (aka low Blows, Eye Gouges) is an automatic KO.

This was a great technical match, with Fish being confused at first, but he heeled it up nicely. One bug I have: no graphic keeping tabs on the Points. After what seemed to be a funk Kane had being in, He finally won a match....only for Eric Bischoff, a TEMPORARY Manager, to fire Kane for insulting him. So Kane beat up some Jobbers in security t-shirts. Mr Thomas calmed down his friend as the Crowd was livid!

Another great match was next. Trevor Lee, in his long awaited debut Vs Mistico for the Middleweight championship. A submission based match which grounded the Mexican Opera Cup winner. But not for long. A brilliant clash of styles. Lee returning as the "Technical Savage" that mix of Ring smarts and aggression but With more on the Line on this match, Mistico prevailed over the plans of "Easy E" 

Holiday Rush will be on Christmas Eve, which because of the time zones in Europe will be Christmas Day. So apologies, but today is the last post of 2024.

Matt Riddle retains his title shot, after Dijak used some kind of Small weapon to hit Riddle after Monsieur Saint Laurent drew the ref, ripped off the turnbuckle pad (Remember this!) and cause a No Contest! Lawler comes out to Save his partner.

Roulette match which was the Tag match between Matthew Justice the Middleweight champion and actor Paul Walter Hauser Vs The Andersons. A Roulette wheel cartoon chose New York LAAAAZY BOOKING!-I mean New York Street fight. Finish was Brock rolling up The Fat Extra from Karate Kid after he missed the splash by hitting the exposed turnbuckle from the last match, Aren't the refs supposed to fix that between matches?

World tag match and I suppose putting another belt on Kojima and his equally broken down elderly friend who has a job because of the Champion, means he will be happy enough to do the J.O.B. in Dallas in month's time!

After the match on top of the Building, Eric Bischoff calls Someone holding Documents he Stole, I don't know if it's talent Contracts or Deed of Sale, because they scuffed the Video package Not once but Twice, but this is probably not the last time we see Eric Bischoff in Major league Wrestling....For Better or Worse!

Well that's it for 2024!

As if this post, this Site is now Locked until the Fourth of January! I will return with a new Schedule, one with many Surprises. We are going through changes in 2025, and I don't mean politically. 

Stay tuned!

But to all who made it this far,

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR IN 2025!

MAJOR LEAGUE WRESTLING SLAUGHTERHOUSE 2024: A HEAVYWEIGHT MATCH ON THE UNDERCARD! (THAT DOESN'T NEED A PUNCHLINE!)

 List of champions -NEW CHAMPION IN CAPS.

World's:Satoshi Kojima

OPENWEIGHT:MATTHEW JUSTICE 

Middleweight:Mistico

Tag:Contra (Minoru Suzuki and Ikuro Kwan)

Featherweight:Janai Kai

(PREVIOUSLY ON MAJOR LEAGUE WRESTLING)

The League is tatters!

Having Gold or the pencil means you are nothing but a target for heels. Kojima? Flanked by all challengers, from the Rogue Horsemen, to Contra, to even his own friend, Matt Riddle who has a title shot against him.

Mistico? Every Flippy Dipper in a mask from Mexico is seemingly being signed to appear between now and kings of colosseum. 

Even the Brass are not having it easy. As soon as the Kidnapped Cesar Duran was about to reveal his kidnapper's identity, his daughter, Salina Dela Renta's waters broke.

Launched on YouTube on Sunday morning. And filmed as the undercard of Lucha Apocalypto, (yes, seriously, the world title match was not good enough to get on the main show!) This is Slaughterhouse. 

We start as we seemingly always do, with Contra on back, beating up Jobbers. Until Kojima, Okamura and Akira turn up and what do they do? They Fought off! The champion who is a weak champion all things considered is being beaten on until he is saved by his own challenger, Matt Riddle. After the save, Riddle tells Kojima he has signed his contract that he won in Battle Riot. On January the 12th, Kojima Vs Riddle at kings of colosseum. All the while Kojima nods at the words  he understood.

First Bout of the evening, A Tag Team tables match between the Anderson's and the Bombaye Fight Club. No Disqualifications, LAAAAZ....wait the match is elimination style? So they are listening! Mr Thomas was first eliminated by an ambush by BRG, who is chased out by Paul London. Thomas fell into a table by the apron, C W Anderson was Suplexed by Kane through a table, and Alex Kane was given a Spinebuster through a table by Brock Anderson for the Win. Again, MLW are gonna regret doing this to Alex Kane, who may just up and leave for WWE like Zayda did!

Video Package of Matthew Justice hours before title win. He grins at the camera when the Building owner told him not to dive off the balcony. Which was the finish of the match! 

Okamura won over Ikuro Kwan in a obvious fluke win. Ikuro has for years being treated as the Career Job Guy, but come on, he's a Champion now! Give him some respect.

Tom Lawlor's interview with Barbario Carvanario. This was WWF Superstars cartoon stupidity. Out comes Bicarbonate of Soda, in face paint, in full gimmick with a a bag of ribs, which he eats throughout, He Literally Spits out, in Chunks of Chewed meat and Broken English, that he wants Mistico in Dallas.

Kojima eats bread Backstage, speaking of munchies, here's Riddle to remind us he will be facing his friend for the Title at King's of Colosseum. 

Paul London Vs Kenta. This was a strange one. Despite Paul London being a Baby-face, who helped other babyfaces earlier, London was heelish in this match. Whether it was this mostly Lucha crowd, who didn't want to see Paul London do ground wrestling, or he was taken a breather at his age, which the Mexican crowd are conditioned to boo and take as cowardice.I don't know what to tell you. But this match was good. Kenta wins and then The Doomsday Clock counted down. Dijak cames down and took out Kenta, and given what Dijak said about Kenta and Cm punk, it was only a match of time, before this feud was booked.

Dijak squashes Kevin Knight! After the match Tom Lawlor who left ringside to avoid the man who injured him was insulted by Dijak.

Congratulations to Natalia Class (Salina De La Renta) on the birth of her Daughter....who we are supposed to believe is now bought to the shows as a prop. A baby doll in Swaddling cloths starts to cry a recording of crying, which causes Salina to shout at Jesus. Cesar tells us he knows who kidnapped him.... but won't tell the audience. Watch it be Eric Bischoff for no good reason!

Delmi Exo  Squashes a Carmella Cosplayer, followed by Janai Kai assaulting her and cutting off the hair extensions she never wore to this point!

Christian Cole outside medical room waiting for Kenta.

Minuro Sazuki Vs Riddle. Octopus stretch by the "Murder Grandpa" to start with and this was a technical match despite Sazuki's Glaring limitations. Until Sazuki decks Matt Riddle with a right hand and chokes him with the Contra flag. This gives Riddle the second wind.  And he beats Sazuki with the formerly named Bro Derrick, now the Bro stone!

Lawler asks Riddle for first shot if he wins title 

World title match Bobby Fish Vs a now healthy Kojima Who finally getting over his injury, but is now taking on serious challengers, Because up to now he has Put the Belt up against his friends and Jobbers and being protected in Tag matches. Not Counting The time Kruger got himself disqualified with the ref standing one foot away from him, the last time Satoshi Kojima had a serious match was against Tito Escondito...SIX MONTHS AGO!. Kojima Retains Against Bomb Shelter Bobby Fish, And for once Kojima had to work for the win.

Kenta exits medical room, teases Bullet Club. Oh Goodie we get the Dregs of the Cool T-shirt Bros, Now that Kenny and Finn, and Cody and Tama are getting 6 figure salaries in the number one and two companies! Maybe Tony Khan can let Lightswitch White do something with mlw, he ain't doing much in All Elite Wrestling!

And Now our Main Event, The Weapons of mass Destruction match Between Krule and Akira in what maybe the modern day Dusty vs Ole Anderson Feud- Because "It Will Never Be OVAH!" Anyway this is no Wrestling match, this is Garbage in, Garbage out! They were headbutting each other with soldier helmets, using weapons throwing salt into open wounds. Finish was Krule hitting Scorched Earth on Akira but the South African Giant couldn't gloat over his win, as the last thing we see is Akira putting a plastic bag over Krule's masked face!


And that's what this post is...DONE! Next Month on Monday the 9th I will have deferred Results of Eric Bischoff's One shot which will be the last show I will review before the new year and I break for the Holidays, So I will see you then, for the last time in 2024!

MAJOR LEAGUE WRESTLING LUCHA APOCALYPTO 2024-¿QUIENES SON ESTOS PERSONAS?

 This post was jammy to put out (PAUSE!) Because Last night, which was Sunday, a technical issue, Meant the live recording of this show was not transmitted onto YouTube.

However, good on MLW at least to rectify the problem by stating the show will be on YouTube on Sunday....we just didn't know when, no skin off my nose if it came to drafting reviews on the fly, I've done it before. But if it's completely 24 hours later, it was 3am Monday so this will be 5 hours young by the time I launch this at 10am Irish Time. 

So, here we are finally, mere hours from the second attempt to get this show out. I know accidents happen, but I guess not even winning a TWENTY MILLION DOLLAR COURT CASE AGAINST WWE Means you haven't used that money to get better equipment, not to brag, as it has happened to me, but since it hasn't happened since I started a decade and a half ago, but I get these posts either here or Bogger Box Office, out the day after or weekday after the ple or Special or film review the first working day of the new month, EVERY TIME, ON MY OWN, ON A SMART PHONE OR A INTERNET CAFÉ PC. FOR 15 PLUS YEARS! 

MLW HAS A TEAM OF PRODUCERS AND A PRODUCTION TRUCK.

THERE'S NO EXCUSES!

So here's our show where MLW collabs with CMLL, which asked the Question on top "who are these people?"

Cesar Duran greets the Cicero, Illinois crowd,who sounds like he needs a Strepsil. Tom Lawlor, who is selling being injured is now on commentary with Rob Drombroski.

First match is Ultimo Guerrero who Hotdogged himself During the Entrance of his partner, Hechihero vs Esfinge and the Jet, Kevin Knight. Ultimo Jump started his match by attack Esfinge with his jacket. Hechichero is a lot more technical than he was made to look in AEW, While Ultimo Guerrero stank up the place-Remember if it wasn't for Storm Helene, this Old hack would be facing the other Old Hack The world's champion Kojima, a month ago! So be thankful for small mercies. Finish was Hechichero hitting the Conjuring Spike Shoulder breaker and then tapping out Esfinge with the Gator Roll sleeper choke.

Salina is told Cesar is kidnapped. She orders her family to find her father, while suffering Contractions

Video Package on the rogue Horsemen Vs Bomaye Fight Club.

Second Match of the Night was Rogue Horseman The BRG vs The Suplex Assassin Alex Kane. They are gonna lose Kane, if they keep booking him to Lose in Garbage Matches! Remember last month when he lost that match in His hometown of Atlanta? They were P O'd in Georgia! So Alex Kane was Dominating all match until the Rogue Horsemen chased off the Fight club and attacked Mr Thomas until BRG, Bloodied and previously made to choke on Kane's T-Shirt, hit back with the most Devastating Finish known to man....THE SURPRISE ROLLUP!

Backstage, Mads Kruger issues Akira a challenge at Slaughterhouse, on the 23th, A Weapons Of Mass Destruction Match. Unfortunately, I'll be doing Christmas shopping that following Monday, so the results will up on Tuesday the 26th.

Next was Janai Kai vs Some Masked Girl called Volvo or something, and Some chick dressed like a Stripper in a Biker Bar. 3 WAY MATCH, NO ELIMINATIONS. ONE FALL TO A FINISH, LAAAAAAAAAZY BOOKING! Kai has being champion for a year, but it's not being impressive as you think since NXT and AEW have gutted the Indies, all that's left are these Lucha Wannabes and the Joshi Princesses. After the Match, if you could call it that, Delmi Exo accuses Contra of kidnapping Cesar. She wants a Match with Janai right now, so Kai accepts but it was a trap, But when Delmi fights off a Sendai Death Warrior with a chair, "The Kick Demon" books it!

So I Guess this match is now FALL COUNT ANYWHERE FOR THE OPENWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP! Sure why not? MORE LAZY BOOKING! So Bad dude Tito and Matthew "Food At Home Seth Rollins" Justice had a fight in the crowd that dragged on, for the honour Justice's Manager Bill Alfonso, so there was a cause and story under all the garbage. Finish was Matthew Justice Recreating the New Jack Balcony dive through a table for 3....Minutes after Justice took Tito's Tequila screwdriver Finish through a different table for 2.

LIST OF CHAMPIONS-UPDATE

  • World's: Satoshi Kojima
  • OPENWEIGHT-MATTHEW JUSTICE
  • Middleweight: Mistico
  • tag: Contra (Minoru Sazuki and Ikaru Kwan)
  • Featherweight: Janai Kai.
Next was a complete waste of time! Kojima, who will Put his world title belt on the line in the undercard for this show-Slaughterhouse came out for an interview.

Kojima can't speak English-NOT THAT IT MATTERED, because Contra Whailed on Satoshi until #NOMEANSNOBRO Matt Riddle came out a saved him, Sazuki accepted a challenge for the tag belts and called his opponents "Youngboys". They had a good match...until The heels went into Business for themselves and Ruined it with Blatant cheating. The Crowd crapped over the stupidity and i would too!

Next match was Atlantis Snr and jr and Star Jr vs Magnus, Felino and Barbario Cavenario. sorry I Said there names wrong! It's...

"MMMAAAAAG-NOOSE, FEEEEEEELLINO AAAAAAND, BARRRRRRBARRRRIOOOOO CAAAAAVENNNNNNNNARRRRRRIOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! IIIIIII SOUND LIKE THE FUNNNNNKY PHANTON WHENITALKLIKETHIS! OR SNAGGLEPUSS EVEN!"

So as custom, This match was nothing but Flippies and Dippies. but Felino and Atlantis Senior doing the flippies and dippies at 60 plus each was impressive and the crowd was into it. Felino missed an elbow drop and Atlantis Jr. closed this match on a frog splash.

December 5th- Eric Bischoff' Presents One-shot, that will be the last Special i will do this year. They also revealed the next 2 shows: Kings of Coliseum on the 11th of January and Superfight on February 6th.

Dijak squashed two Azteca Henchmen for an angle got on the Mic and buried the Roster namely Kenta ("HE'S NEVER GOTTEN OVER THERE'S A GUY WHO STOLE HIS FINISH AND DOES IT BETTER THAN HIM") Riddle ("ONLY TIME RIDDLE IS A THREAT IS WHEN THE DISPENSERIE  DOESN'T CARRY HIS STRAND!") And he got into Lawlor's face and Lawlor despite Injuries fought off Dijak.

Tom Lawlor returned to the Booth for the main event. Mistico put his belt on the line against Averno and Titan. First of all Averno looks more like a Balding Plumber than Balding Plumber Moxley, and who ever called his small child in a Obese Uno, of the Dork Odour mask , "TITAN" Has a sick sense of Humour he was billed as 160 pounds-can this guy be 4 ft 11? Anyway you see one Mistico match you seen them all. Mistico uses a la Mistica to take out "Titan" and a second to tap out Plumber Averno! After the match, Mistico is unmasked by Pasta Carbanara or whatever his goofy name is! So Bicarbonate Soda cuts a promo in spanish, which Rob translate as, Mistico vs Barbario Cavenario at Kings of Coliseum next Year in Dallas! 

To finish the show, Telenovella Bullcrap to Write off Salina before her Full Term. They find Cesar tied to a chair and free him. Before Cesar can read the note he finds in his pocket. Salina's water breaks. and that's really how they end this show! 

Join me Next month for the last show of the year-MLW: ERIC BISCHOFF'S ONESHOT!

MLW PIT FIGHTERS: POINTLESS PATHETIC PUGILISTIC PLOP!

 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 outside 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 if there 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!

Join me Next Week when we have More of the same, As MLW celebrates Halloween by opening the doors to Slaughterhouse! Where our main event is

TWO OLD GUYS!

I'll save my opinions of this for the Cold Open of the post Next week! 

Speaking of Halloween specials, MY! Halloween Special over on Bogger Box office will be up tomorrow (1/10/2024) And will be the 2000s schlock horror Eye Of the Beast!

MLW FIGHTLAND 2024: A COZY FIRE TO THE MAX

 List of Champions-NEW TAG CHAMPIONS AS OF THE LAST MONTH'S PPV IN CAPITALS

World's Satoshi Kojima

Openweight Bad Dude Tito

Middleweight Mistico

TAG CONTRA IKURO KWAN AND MINORU SAZUKI

Featherweight Janai Kai. 

Previously on Major League Wrestling....

The promotion is now feeling like the Wild west right now. With Contra and Bobby Fish and World Titan Federation all running roughshod while the the feuding promoters settle their differences between baby showers. 

Kojima's hand slipped last month when he lost the tag belt to Contra, will he lose the world's title to Contra's leader?

And speaking of endings, the Semi and Finals of the Historic Opera Cup are also to be decided. Will Tito Escondido bring it home for Promotionceles Dorado? Will TJP bring back to New Japan, Will Kenta add this to his long list of accomplishments? Or will Mistico become the 1st Mexican in its 100 plus year legacy to hold this coveted prize?

Semi Final 1 was The "Aswog" TJPQ VS KENTA. If this was 5 years ago, this match would be a big deal-Now it's a fight between 2 guys would each blew their chance of worldwide fame because of their egos, The Start was a headscissors to the outside by Perkins, following out the ring with a Basement Dropkick. brawl on the outside, they come back in TJP Applies a Sharpshooter. Kenta gets to the ropes and gets Mudhole stomped in the Corner and falls out for a breather, the crowd starts to boo Kenta!- like this is Big star we heard about? Kenta now has advantage after with an ambush. What's good for the Goose, is good for the Gander, Kenta is Stomping a hole in TJP. TJP Fires back with a falling arm lock, a suplex and a 3 Amigos and finishes with an octopus Stretch. Mamba Splash hits Kenta's Knees and he signals Go To Sleep, flurries of attacks by both into the Double count out spot. The ref is nearly taken out and a roll up gets 2, a second ref rump and TJPQ Gets A Blow South of the border, he wishes a wall was built-MORON!

FINALIST: KENTA 

Straight away into Semi Final 2, The Middleweight champion Mistico versus the openweight champion Bad Dude Tito. Mistico Blitzes the big man, but Tito has the power advantage. it's good the mlw finally has booked some Diversity in the Mistico Matches. Commentary make a big deal that one night prior in Mexico, Mistico defeated in a 3 falls match, Chris Jericho. and unless Chris jericovid had an Oxygen mask at ringside, he was not going to last a match like that! So No doubt Mistico's back is hurting carrying the Jer-insurrectionist to a believable match! Finish was Crucifix Pin During the Tequila Screwdriver, and this Atlanta crowd exploded!

FINALIST: MISTICO

Earlier this week, Andersons, Fish and BRG do a Horsemen Cosplay. Seriously, Brock was Dressed like his father Arn and BRG is now just A Ric Flair Lookalike!

Now this is Gonna Be Good! Dijak Vs Thatcher. Lock Up and Side headlock by Thatch, Whose Groundwork seems to be the trick to keep down "The Disruptor", but Donavan seems to give it as good as he can take it. Finish was the Discus Boot, the Precursor to the Feast Your Eyes. Dijak wins his debut with a world class opponent. After the match open challenges issued by Saint Laurent for anyone who thinks they can beat his new client. 

BRG and  Bobby "Bomb Shelter" Fish invade Ringside to call commentary on the Next match. running off Christian Cole. this is a bad idea to let Bobby Fish, the guy who carpools Drake Weurtz to PTA Meetings, to express his opinion!

Tag match Andersons Vs Bombaye Fight Club. This Atlanta Crowd give Alex Kane the hometown Pop. CW Anderson and Kane start off, but it falls off real quick. the Andersons get momentum early and Brett Ryan Goseleen did some great heel work, on the mic, Fish has no personality behind the camera! Mr Thomas gets a tag and a Hart Attack Double team for his troubles. A ref Bump happens and the match breaks down as Goseleen and Fish attacks the faces. The soon to Debut Kevin Knight comes out to take out the heels with a flip dive!

But he's not the only Surprise!


Here's Jumped-up Bullying Lowlife, here to Take out the only black men in the match, and leaves. giving the heels a cheap win when the ref recovers. After the match, CW Says the endtimes are coming, the Apocalypse in on it's way, but not in anyway you thought, for they are the Rogue Horsemen! and I'm sure all this Apocalypse talk is putting "Bomb Shelter Bobby" in his happy place!

Backstage Tito is throwing a tantrum until he runs into Matthew Justice. The Food at Home Seth Rollins challenges Tito for his belt which we will get at Slaughterhouse Next Month.

Adam Priest Vs Okumura... I didn't pay much attention to this match, Okumura got the win because he is the champions friend! After the match Contra came out to intimidate Okumura, but since it was Just Ikuro, So Akira took him out!

Riddle wishes Kojima good luck before leaving for the night, Tom Lawlor and MSL challenges Riddle for the Golden Ticket at Pit Fighters in a fortnight in a MMA fight under Vale Tudo Rules

World's title match was a Stinker! Krule Despite his Contra Comrades being took out, had this match Won, But then in front of the Referee, throw a fireball right at Kojima's face, causing a DQ!

....................



After the match Riddle, who tricked the heels by pretending to leave came out to help Kojima and stare angrily at Kruger!


And Finally, MLW at least wanted to send the crowd home happy, as despite having a few Flippies and Dippies in the match, Mistico defeated A wily and Heelish Kenta to make history as the first Mexican to win the Opera Cup. Despite the closing Minutes Kenta was on offensive taking advantage of causing a ref bump and giving his opponent a low blow, The Psycho knee only got a 2, the set up for Go-to sleep became a La Mistica and Kenta Taps, Giving Mistico the Win. The Cup is just a prize with no title shot attached, But it does put your career on notice when you win. Just ask Alex Kane!

I will see you in 2 weeks for Pit Fighters, which will be deferred to Monday the 30th!

List of Champions-NO CHANGES

(PREVIOUSLY ON MAJOR LEAGUE WRESTLING....

Time is running out on World and tag champion Satoshi Kojima.

A lingering Foot Injury has caused Nothing but Trouble for the double champion, And an exploitable weakness in the eyes of Number one contender, Contra's Merchant of Violence, Mads Kruger. Tonight, The tag belt is in Contra's Crosshairs. Will both belts be seized in the following Weeks?

Also tonight, the semifinals for the Opera cup begin, even if it means The Hart Family has no horse in the race, as last month Bulldog Jr. refused to listen to the ref in his match with AJ Francis, and World Titan Federation was issued with a suspension for Smith. Will there be ramifications between both WTF Members tonight?

KENTA returns to America for this show which is also a New Japan crossover. He will face Akira tonight, before his match with Bobby "Bomb Shelter" Fish.

This and a lot more in the first part of this Double Feature Event!)



All night there were Technical Difficulties, With wrong music played in entrances, No Audio on some packages, cameraman cutting to audience shots for no reason, It was a mess. What wasn't a mess, was The 1st Qualifier for the Opera Cup, Former Winner Alex Kane vs Bad Dude Tito. In a Technical Bullfight with two top wrestlers. Tito won with the Roddy piper vs Bret Hart, king of the ring 93 Finish, a roll up during Kane's sleeper, that knocked out Tito, but pinned Alex Kane's Shoulders. We finally have a reason for these two to feud.

Featherweight Championship, as Janai Kai, continues to dominate, However she had a real Challenger, despite being from Stardom, Hanako, who at 5 foot 11, is definitely NOT A JOSHEEEEEEE! NINETY POUND SCHOOLGIRL PRINCESS! In fact, she looked like a taller, Younger, Asuka! There was only one problem-Hanako has only being a Pro for 2 years! And that inexperience shone! But what shone brighter was her Talent. In 5 years going the way she is presented, WWE May be interested in Hanako. 

TJP's New "Assgog" Gimmick.....

"I'M GOING TO SUCK!"

TJPQ Is here to replace Davey Boy due to injury, and to take away an Opportunity to win the Opera Cup from Tom Lawlor who actually works here. Let's put another Carriage on the Tom Lawlor Humiliation Train!

Matt Riddle Vs Matthew Justice had a Garbage Match, despite being billed as a normal one-fall match. Riddle being the Battle Riot Winner, needs tune-up matches before his inevitable title win. The Technical difficulties continued when Riddle asked the timekeeper to throw in Beers and one can burst open midflight.

Next match was the return of MLW original and wwe tag champion Paul London, who looked like Keanu Reeves dressed as Elvis! He Faced the Newly regenerated career of The BRG. And they had a pretty exciting match, which London won with Confusingly the Mushroom Stomp, a Move wwe told him to use when they Shadowbanned the Shooting Star! Bobby Fish attacked London after the dub, which summoned the Andersons to come to the ring-VERY SLOWLY! And with a reason, it was a Swerve! And Brock and CW Anderson joined on on the attack on London.

Andersons Vs Love-Doug and Jay Lion. Andersons Squash the comedy wrestlers.

Kenta Bet Akira in a Good back a fought match where the crowd was split and actually invested. Kenta goes through to the Semi finals of the Opera Cup which will Concluded in 2 weeks at Fightland.

If MLW Didn't have the Technical Difficulties, then We would have seen a Doomsday clock tick down to this point, where we Would have had a Scramble match between Jimmy Lloyd, LSG, Little Guido and Nolo Kitano, instead we have Doomsday arrive in MLW...Donavan Dijak, Under WTF Management, Destroyed the 4 underneath guys. with the crowd going wild, and I was shocked! I didn't even know Dijak was released. Well MLW is seen as a stop on the road out of wwe, But where Dijak, chooses to Hang his hat, It's WWE'S Loss!

In a definite Message to Kojima, Contra are now your Tag champions. How much more damage can Kojima Take. Next month he may have to. but he won't be taking the title with him.

Mistico Vs Atlantis Jr Shouldn't have being the main event when you had a title change in the last match-That's a fact! The main story is that Since Cesar Duran and Salina Dela Renta are revealed to be father and daughter, Salina is running around as Heir apparent to Cesar's Azteca Lucha talent, Something that gotten Salina's hangers on in Her Promotioneles Dorado Faction upset, as seen when Jesus attacked Cesar's talent Mistico on the outside, injuring his arms enough for any attempt to La Mistica to hurt. So it was time to revert to a Swanton to this match that dragged on and on! Sure it's a rematch to them selling out Mexico, But if a Tree falls in Mexico and it Doesn't have a TV Deal, Will Uncle Dave give it 7 Stars?

**********************************************

(The Following review was Written Today (September the 2nd) two days after the show)

Bash in Berlin 2024-I AM A DONUT!

Germany's first PLE ever and the most sold out arena Show ever, Beating out Clash at the castle this summer, Started out much like that show, with the Undisputed Championship match First. But Given that like Clash a Hometown Hero was having the title match, I understood. Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes did the same thing, that AEW are trying to do with Will O'Spray, as Dixie Carter Called Him, With the Conflicted Heel, but better, Kevin was convinced Cody's Knee was hurt and when giving the chance to hit an apron powerbomb like he has done, Unlike Wembley, the crowd reacted, and when he opted to beat Cody in the ring, It was his Last mistake, Even hitting the Stunner, Cody had hit 3 cross Rhodes on him. After the match they hugged, but Kevin was heelish when he saw the camera in his face during the embrace, in an attempt to catch him heeling up. Cody didn't Help matters by raising Kevin Owens arm despite the defeat, he swung away angrily, before raising Rhodes arm. That got a lot of OOOHS From the audience!

What was that about, Turning Jade Heel to have her Face Bianca at Mania Vegas? Well it's still gonna happen, but let's use the tag belts as a Prop. July's over Time to Put Alba and Isla Back in the Minority Box, and book them the next time Pride Month comes around! Give my Regards to Tegan Nox!

Strap match was next and I didn't take much Notes, But the emotion was there, Drew and Punk man, They Made me Believe, they made me care About a Cheap Homemade Bracelet! Punk won his first wwe ppv Match in over 10 years! And It was Worth the Wait! No Doubt Drew will face Face Gunther at Bad Blood Next Month.

Mixed TAG Was Garbage-Liv Morgan, The Chicken Waitress, Should have stayed Working In the Certain Chicken Shop with all the Creeps leering at her in her Bikini serving wings! The sooner Rhea Pops Liv like a pimple for her title, the better!

Finally, Front of this Swinging, Singing Berlin Crowd, Randy Orton Faced A Man who while Austrian, Cut his teeth In German Promotions like WXW, Before Dominating Britain, which led to him coming to Nxt. After Kaiser introduced Gunther in German, It was time for the match which Started with a lock up, Until Gunther exploded with one of his Shotgun Chops. When that happened, this 50/50 crowd turned Completely Partisan towards Gunther. This lead to Boos Rained To Orton when hit the Powerslam and the Draping DDT, And followed Up with the Superplex, Shades of his father, no doubt Still taking the insults of his lineage personally. Gunther started Selling his arm, as we went for the powerbomb, he didn't follow up with Jackknife Pin. All the while Selling Randy was rearranging the Furniture at ringside that ended with a side suplex to Gunther through the German announce Table. They Rolled back in and it was time for the Finish, Gunther Wrapped a Tight Sleeper, Orton Hit the RKO, But Gunther Countered into the Sleeper During the Drop, the Surprise caught Orton off-Guard and the Ref had no choice but to declare Gunther the Winner, after match. Gunther and Orton shook hands. Could Gunther be turning face? Or was this just For Show for his countrymen

AND THAT'S IT....This Little Double feature is more important than you realise. This Post MAYBE MY LAST WWE PAYPERVIEW! Now, As you know, wwe is going to Netflix Internationally. And while WWE dips in quality during The Winter Months, like it always does, i am taking this time to actually buy wifi and get all my affairs in order, Before The Royal Rumble In February. 

But I am Not the kind of man who Count his chickens before they hatch. I realise if things go wrong then this may be my last WWE PPV post ever.

But I Will keep you Posted when I have the Update for 2025, when I Return from my Christmas Hiatus!
