MLW: Major League Wrestling

[Patriot]

I don't know if you've guys have been following Major League Wrestling, but it is solid one hour weekly program with a great roster.

They've got Tony Schiavone on commentary. Kevin Sullivan is there, Col. Robert Parker is there complete with a new Stud Stable. They've got Teddy Hart, Davey Boy Smith Jr., and Brian Pillman Jr. as the New Hart Foundation.

Here's there show from Friday night:



Great show from start to finish. It's nice to see an enjoyable wrestling program that's a breeze to watch and follow since it's only one hour.

I've been starting from the first few episodes on Youtube. Great to hear Tony on commentary again. There's a lot of good stuff out there right now.

There's a decent roster crossover with MLW and Impact, that I'd love to see the two co-promote some PPV events. I think Tony and Don Callis would make a great commentary team.

MLW has quickly become my favorite program. Much like NXT, but without the WWE production drives me nuts at times, they do a lot with their one hour. It flies by.

Two matches announced for WAR GAMES thus far:

WAR GAMES MATCH:
John Hennigan, Tommy Dreamer, Shane Strickland, Kotto Brazil & Barrington Hughes vs. Sami Callihan, Jimmy Havoc, The Death Matchines, and a Mystery Partner.

MEXICAN MASSACRE MATCH:
LA Park vs. Pentagon Jr.

Park/Pentagon should be great to see.

Are the "PPVs" on YouTube as well?

[Patriot]

I don't know if War Games will be, but Battle Riot is (they aired it as a TV special akin to Clash of the Champions instead of a PPV):

Sounds like Wargames will cost $10. Like Riot though, not sure if Youtube will get it after the fact or not.

I've watched the last few episodes now and have been enjoying it. I'd say "good" but not "great", to where I enjoy watching it but not to the point I'd pay for it just yet.

Huge breath of fresh air hearing a commentating team actually talk about the match every time though rather than putting over something completely different.

[Patriot]

At this point I'm pretty sure this is a TV taping special. Tickets cost $10.



I wish Teddy Hart would change his ring attire. He looks more Cuban than Canadian.

[Monkey]

LOL, yeah I watched the match with John Hennigan last night and thought the same. Really doesn't do him any favors either as until he starts wrestling it actually makes him look out of shape due to how oversized his gear is.

Also Sami Callihan's theme song is horrid

[Patriot]

Pretty good show, Battle Riot II.

[Monkey]

I really need to get back to watching, really enjoy their product. Nice compact easy to watch show.

Here's the current card for the upcoming Fury Road event:

Tom Lawlor & TBA vs. Contra Unit
Davey Boy Smith Jr. vs. MJF
Falls Count Anywhere: Sami Callihan vs. Mance Warner
National Championship Finals

I'm going to try and keep this thread updated more, with news and latest episodes, and hopefully some discussion because this is a really strong promotion and they deserve more attention.

[Sandman]

I need to get back into this. Went back and watched the first few episodes a while back and it was a lot of fun.

[Patriot]

Tomorrow night is live two hour special, Kings of the Colosseum.

Here's the card:

- MLW World Heavyweight Championship: Tom Lawlor (c) vs. Jacob Fatu
- Los Parks vs. Dr. Wagner Jr & Hijo De Dr. Wagner Jr
- MLW World Tag Team Championship Ladder Match: The Hart Foundation (c) vs. The Dynasty
- National Openweight Championship: Alex Hammerstone (c) vs. Davey Boy Smith Jr.

- Low Ki vs. Ricky Martinez
- Air Wolf vs. Ace Austin
- Gringo Loco vs. ZENSHI

The show starts at 7pm, and the live broadcast begins at 8pm. Obviously, a few of these matches will be taped for next week's episode.

This is a pretty strong card, IMO. Looking forward to it. I'll post the YouTube when it becomes available Monday.
