Also face Hammerstone? Not sure I have i feel about that. Me neither. Only time I remember him as a face was in Ring Warriors and it was pretty lame duck. Plus I want to keep booing that "Your boy Hammer" stuff, it's so cringe.

Anyone know who that monster was at the end? Also face Hammerstone? Monster was Logan Creed,the GA based guy not that pretty much retired Logan Creed from MS. THe guy Hammerstone squashed is a Robert Gibson student.

Plus I want to keep booing that "Your boy Hammer" stuff, it's so cringe. Not to mention, he seriously has to change his look. Everything about his current look screams "Douchebag", and not in the endearingly stupid way that the Undisputed Era has embraced in NXT.

Writing Gino Medina out of the Dynasty with one pretaped bit is awful. Certainly they could've taken a bit more care with that.
LOL at the Youtube upload including lawyer commercials. Why?
Is it just me, or was crowd noise just badly dubbed over everything? It got echo-y at points. Hard to watch.

Haven't watched since before the restart, but it's sounding like the episodes are skippable.

New paid for them to be there on all airings.

I don't think I've ever seen a wrestling promotion go from must watch to skip able in such a short period of time.

I don't think I've ever seen a wrestling promotion go from must watch to skip able in such a short period of time. Mance Warner's stuck in contract limbo, and the women's division that MLW was hyping last year just had two women in it, with one of them later just becoming a valet for a guy revealed in Speaking Out accusations. The other woman got injured, and is now currently living outside the U.S. (somewhere in Taiwan I think) due to COVID cases being widespread, so the women's division's gone as a result.

Am I the only one who thinks that "Robert Martyr" is a bit on the nose for a jobber?

The spectre of Jim Cornette hangs over this program even long after he left.

Look at WWE ppvs that get sponsored by candy or soft drinks. With indie feds sponsors can make or break a show.

Ol' Mancer is like the only noteworthy talent left. I'd love to see AEW pick him up, but I feel like he would get lost in the shuffle like Joey Janela and people like that.

Bruce does catch some shit. Was super nice the few times I got to talk to him. Need to find the NWA super card where he came over and joined us on commentary.

LIke ECW back in the MLW is great about taking castoff and making them shine. Right now they got Hammerstone,Jacob Fatu,Richard Holiday,DBS Jr and one of my faves since 2012 BU KU DAO. Just love that they didn't make Dao change his name. But then how many people will know what his name means in English? I'm betting it isn't many.

Covid is the challenge, I'm sure once things are more normal. They will relook at the Women's division when talent is easier to come by. If they where smart for name value they could bring in Thea formally Zelina. Yes she not the greatest in ring wrestler but the name sake could help it.

I got a feeling Zelina will want more than MLW pays. That is unless they have changed how much they pay. Haven't heard they have.
Pretty much MLW pays fairly low for most of their talent. But the wrestlers know it is good exposure. Look at MJF,sure before his MLW run he had a bit of a buzz. But once he got to MLW his profile went way up. Same with Pillman Jr.

I'm pretty sure this massive new Contra guy is Deucalion.
