2020-01-04 MLW Fusion

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening....whenever it is you have found this entry.  Today I am checking out my first MLW show, from the first of this year, 2020-01-04.  I am not sure what is going on in MLW at this point but let us find out what is going on with MLW

• You have to say that you believe what Mance is saying when he talked which is the first sign of a good promo
• This might be the worst intro ever in wrestling!
• This show looks very low budget, probably because of the arena they are in.  Looks very small, guess not low budget
• Look at Lawlor's ears!
• Of course the real great Von Erich, Lance!
• Why is this insulting, Lance was a Von Erich, I saw him on WCCW TV!
• What is up with Tom's ring gear?
• This is probably not the best first match for someone to see of MLW
• And the crowd goes mild for this great angle
• Is that Mike Mondo?  HE IS HUGE!
• Uggg, Jimmy Havoc is on MLW?  I am NOT a fan
• Wow Davey Boy Smith Jr. is looking OLD!  It has been years since I have seen him but wow
• MJF!  I LOVE IT!
• Good grief even the ref has horrible tats
• Davey looks like a buff Forrest Gump!  Right down to the weird look
• Why are they arguing with the greatest wrestler in the business MJF?
• Could Davey had swung any slower at Holliday?
• Wow...are we sure that this is Brian Pillman Jr?  He does not look like his dad at all!
• How stupid is Kotto Brazil hair?
• This show seems to have taken all the annoying parts of ECW and use them
• This Contra unit is interesting but I do not get Simon being on it
• Fatu is a MONSTER!
• Why is there so much pointing in wrestling now?
• Fatu should not be doing that kind of stuff on TV.  A handstand moonsault should be a holy shit moment from Fatu, not a transition move!
• Is it a 20 count or 200 count on the outside?
• 
  

Well that was a show I guess.  There was nothing there that made me think this was a great show.  The opening segment was not good at all, with Lawlor and whatnot being great.  I enjoyed the Davey Boy match but went a little long.  I LOVE Jacob Fatu and dear lord he could be a huge star in AEW or WWE!  However, that match was just moves.  It made little sense.  

I am sure if I know the storylines I would enjoy the show more and I will continue to watch because any wrestling is good wrestling!
