Curt McGirt Posted December 11, 2020 Posted December 11, 2020 Tankman squash wasn't as good as last week. Wasn't someone in another thread saying they wanted Violence Is Forever in MLW? Well your wish is granted. Another squash and Garrini isn't wearing the gi. He still isn't very intimidating but I think this one could have been better as well. My does Ku have A LOT of tattoos. Low Ki/Holliday was really snug and stiff, nice work from both guys, very back and forth. I'm sure this is coming down to Spoiler Ki/Lawlor for the finals. Hey guess who's been working out during Covid? Simon Gotch! And he's got some sweet Junji Ito art tights too. He also got rid of the hipster mustache and just looks like a mean, miserable bastard. Match is one long heat segment on Ross Von Erich until he finally tags in Marshall, then things immediately break down with Marshall Claw-slamming Gotch through a ring board and then Team Filthy and Oliver Jordan run in for a brawl. Fun while it lasted. 1
Godfrey Posted December 11, 2020 Posted December 11, 2020 Hammerstone is the biggest heel in the fed for that get up he was wearing in the interview.

Yeah, Gotch is quite the horror otaku. The art work on his tights seems to be inspired by Ito and Gotch's entrance mask resembles the visage of Ryuk, the iconic Shinigami from the manga / anime, Death Note. I dig his ring attire. It gives him much needed personality, but it's not translating into win streaks. Edited December 12, 2020 by J.T. 2
DEAN Posted December 20, 2020 Posted December 20, 2020 That ACH/Lawler match was the best Lawler match I've seen. And YEAAAAAA! It's LA PARK Jr.!!! 2
J.T. Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) Spoiler Curt beat me to the announcement, but now the vignettes on YouTube! YES~! Edited January 2, 2021 by J.T. 2
CanadianChris Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 And this week Salina mentioned a call from Boyle Heights. Maybe she found Dario!?!
J.T. Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 Joseph Samael continues to cut great promos about new additions to CONTA so that I continue to give a shit about MLW. We have the Pluto TV app on Xfinity, so now I have to experiment with this shit so that I can watch MLW on Wednesday nights while I am DVRing AEW.
DEAN Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 That tag matched needed four more run-ins to REALLY be the most overbooked match in the history of wrestling.
Curt McGirt Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 So the new Contra member is... Daivari? ...
CanadianChris Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 MLW with the greatest wrestling/sports crossover in history tonight. Uh. Maze. Zing.
hammerva Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 Unfortunately it tells you how small level this company is now because I would think even if this happened in a IMPACT as weak as they this would get a ton of buzz. Not really getting as much 'WTF' as I think it deserves
Curt McGirt Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 What happened? Spoiler it if you have to.
Curt McGirt Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) Laredo Kid/Zenshi is really good. Lots of nifty evasion from both guys and cool, weird offense from Zenshi. He can really eat a Michinoku Driver, too. The final Spanish Fly is like a Belly to Belly where the other guy lands with his full body weight on you. Hijo de LA Park: "Word, we wish you and the hairless Thai boys luck tonight" The tag match slopped it up pretty bad at points, just didn't click. At least Garrini doesn't look like a fat kid doing Tai Kwon Do at the local strip mall anymore. I expect a lot more from a strap match with Savio Vega and the finish was just pure shit. Now the only thing I missed was skipping the Filthy Tom promo so what's the big announcement? Edited January 28, 2021 by Curt McGirt 2
CanadianChris Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 The ref for the Strap Match was Spoiler former NBA ref Tim Donaghy, he of being found guilty and going to jail for the NBA betting scandal and gambling on games 1
Curt McGirt Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 Spoiler Well at least that explains the finish. I wonder if he ever bet on pro wrestling.

Spoiler They said before the match that a sudden and weird surge of bets had come in just before the match, implying that he did. 1
Curt McGirt Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 Yeah I skipped directly to the match in progress. Narrowly missed out on the entire question I'd been asking haha
J.T. Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) Los Parks defeated the Von Erichs to become the NEW MLW tag team champions thanks to chicanery from Filthy Tom Lawler, the special referee hired by Salina de la Renta to preside over the match. Salina also announced that Promociones Dorado had been acquired by... Azteca Underground, INC.... so they are continuing to tease Dario Cuerto and more talent from the former LU to show up in MLW. I am starting to suspect that MLW is trying to ramp up AU booking to take the heavy lifting off of CONTRA Unit.... which is very smart. I wouldn't be surprised if they put the MLW Title on Hammerstone very soon. Lio Rush also recently defeated Myron Reed to become the new MLW Middleweight Champion and cut quite the heel promo following his victory. Edited February 7, 2021 by J.T.
hammerva Posted February 18, 2021 Posted February 18, 2021 Watched a little of the Filthy Island stuff and I am not sure if this is supposed to look bush league and amateurish on purpose or not. it is clear they are doing a version of Fyre Fest with his crappy the service and food is. But the actual product looks like one of those backyard death match shows that ran during the summer
Curt McGirt Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 Low Ki had a shootfight with King Mo in Tom Lawlor's back yard, in a ring with no ropes, and choked him out then got beat down until the Von Erich kids did a run-in via their Jeep. I can't believe I just watched, and then wrote that 2 1
Curt McGirt Posted March 7, 2021 Posted March 7, 2021 Tankman vs. Laredo Kid was the shit. Laredo had almost enough firepower but Tankman is, well, a tank. So many crazy spots in this match. Fuck, that was great. I'm very disappointed in Dynasty not breaking up yet. Hammerstone needs to leave him in the dirt. Meanwhile, Fatu needs to be in AEW NOW. Along with Josef Samael. Tony, do it. Trade Court Shawn Spears and even Miro. 1

I'd also like to see the Dynasty broken up and have Hammerstone working the main event, but I believe that Richard Holiday is the unsung hero of the MLW mid-card. With MLW being so heel heavy, I think the answer is to let Hammerstone run as a tweener and have him eventually lift the title off of Fatu. I am not sure what you can do with Holiday other than use him as a gateway guy.

Story line wise, it was revealed that Lawlor was squatting on the Von Erich's ranch, unbeknownst to them.
