The Big Takeaway: Lio Rush is now a double champion as the MLW Middleweight Champion defeated Laredo Kid to take his AAA Cruiserweight title. Show Recap: ACH defeated Brian Pillman Jr. (5:53) The question leading into this was whether ACH was 100% after he was on the receiving end of an attack before his last match against MLW Champion Jacob Fatu. The alleged attackers have not been confirmed, but Tom Lawlor and Team Filthy are the clear front runners. Lawlor and ACH met in the Opera Cup with L...

Two Titles, Two Countries, One Ring: Or Why the Lio Rush vs Laredo Kid Match is So Important Author: Feb 10, 2021 When I saw the announcement I couldnt believe it. I was watching a major interpromotional angle unfold, and one that I never thought Id see at that. A match was announced for the next week, and it would be title vs title. Then two hours later Kenta showed up in AEW and overshadowed it. In what was possibly the worst coincidence in wrestling history in years, MLW announced Laredo Kid...

By moving to Wednesday nights recently, MLW Fusion turned the ongoing Wednesday Night Wars into a three-way dance, airing on the same night as AEW Dynamite and WWE NXT. Although MLW airs an hour earlier and is available on-demand at various platforms including YouTube and DAZN, it was still a “very weird decision” by the company to move Fusion to a crowded night of wrestling, according to WCW legend and MLW star Konnan. During his recent appearance on The Wrestling Inc. Daily podcast, ...

Winfree’s MLW Fusion (EP. 117) Review 1.13.21   Hey there everyone, Winfree here for another episode of MLW Fusion. Tonight we’ll get the fallout, if any, from MLW’s Kings of the Colosseum event last week. This will also be the episode that Salina de la Renta gets to executive produce, so in addition to the tag team title match already announced (Los Parks vs. The Von Erich’s) we’ll get the debut of Mil Muertes and possibly a few other references to the defunct Lucha Underg...

The Big Takeaways: Los Parks defeated The Von Erichs to win the MLW Tag Team Titles with more than a little help from special referee “Filthy” Tom Lawlor while Mil Muertes made his promotional debut. Show Review: Salina de la Renta was executive producer for this episode and was heavily featured throughout. She seems to be building a new stable after Promociones Dorado crumbled towards the end of 2019 when LA Park lost his Battle Riot-earned title shot to Jacob Fatu. Low Ki defeated Budd He...
