MLW Saturday Night Superfight 11/2 (first PPV)

[HMARK Center]

Thatcher is the man.

[RKTaker]

crowd's not really into this match

[HMARK Center]

That was probably the best Lawlor match I've seen.

[RKTaker]

still hoping for a lawlor heel turn, hopefully next week

Then he leads Simon Gotch into a trap for payback.

glad somebody remembers that, i think mlw mentioned that once and that was when gotch just casually mentioned it

[RKTaker]

also apparently mance returned from his collapsed lung early and did a 100,000 thumbtack match 2 days ago

[HMARK Center]

Huh, Jimmy doesn't take the pin here, wonder if he's sticking around MLW while working AEW.

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

So, how is this PPV anyway? I watch the shows weekly, but if this show gets a good reception, I'll buy the PPV some time this week.

Right now AAA has working relations with three US promotions

For $20, it's well worth a watch.

[RKTaker]

what a great first ppv for mlw

[Ultimo Gallos]

I am getting it later this week. Hear Gino's match was on the preshow that aired on BeIN. Might catch that later.

[Mochi Lone Wolf]

I love LA Park.


Just thought that should be known.

They really did manage to make that match feel like a war, I was impressed.

Gino looks like he could be a franchise player

I'm finally watching right now because everyone said how great it was.

To me, it just feels like a long episode of Fusion. I was expecting a bigger arena, better production, etc. but it's just a long Fusion show essentially. That's not a bad thing mind you. I like Fusion, this just can't live up to being as great as people made it out to be. I got myself hyped up for an amazing show, and it's just been average to pretty good depending on the match. Also, the pre-show kinda sucked. It didn't even have many actual MLW wrestlers on it.

I'm on Hammerstone vs Davey Boy Jr. and so far my favorite match was Stairway To Hell.

Update: Just finished the show, that main event was great. Every time I hear LA Park is going to wrestle I kind of groan because he's old, but much like Chris Jericho he can still kick ass at his age. That was probably the best Fatu match I've ever seen too.

I honestly thought it was a bit better than that; my usual complaint about Fusion is that there'll be main event matches but they'll be done in less than 10 minutes most of the time, but this show at least had some more lengthy matches that felt like they got to breathe a little more (e.g. Hart/Aries, Lawlor/Thatcher).

Just turned the ppv on, I'm about 45 minutes into it. Was anybody else having really bad audio problems up until Gringo Locos entrance?

Did that picture of Owen, Pillman and Pillman Jr get anybody else a little misty-eyed?

During the six man there was three huge spectacular Dives and the cameraman missed Every. Single. One.

Does Injustice remind anybody else on a 2019 Special K?

Teddy Hart's ring gear is some of the worst I've ever seen on any wrestler in any promotion.

Teddy and Aries are bumping like crazy people. Somebody needs to remind them they are both getting up there in age.
That Ares guard rail spot was disgusting. I legitimately hope he's okay.

Pillman Jr with his dad's Hollywood Blondes jacket! I missed this when it initially happened and had to rewind it.

Why is Simon Gotch no longer with Contra Unit?

Is LA Park vs. Fatu a heel vs. heel main event?

I don't think I have ever seen anybody blade more blatantly than LA Park in this match.

Props to Salina for taking that bump. That looked brutal.

Overall a decent ppv debut for MLW. A friend of mine enjoyed it for more than I did. Although I thought it was really good. Nothing offensive. Favorite match was probably the main event and I rarely ever say that about any promotion.

Gotch and Kwon represented Contra in the pre-show tag match.

I'm watching Fatu and Park's match right now. This is a damn good brawl, but you're right about the pretty blatant blade jobs. In particular, Fatu blading when his face went under the ring following the ring bell shot was about as subtle as a shotgun to the face.
