MLW BACKSTAGE REPORT FOR JULY 3

by Andy Vineberg

 

Well, the era of the Extreme Horsemen has certainly begun and they are clearly taking over MLW which was showcased this past Monday night on the Underground as Steve Corino defeated Mike Awesome for the MLW Heavyweight championship in an unplanned match. I guess Corino has one up on Funk now due to this victory.

 

I can honestly say, that Corino, Anderson, and Diamond are three men who remind me of why I love this business in the first place. They really bring back the old school mentality that makes the hardcore wrestling fan enjoy this sport so much. They all live for this business and want nothing more than to prove they are the best in the profession and they prove this every time they step through the ropes. All the gold in MLW is now in the Horsemen's possession but you can bet there are some hungry MLW competitors looking to kick some major Horsemen ass!

 

Speaking of kicking ass, Jerry Lynn is really in some kind of frenzy with his new attitude. He defeated Kid Romeo on TV this past week and showed why he is the New F'N Evil of MLW. Talking with Jerry backstage in Lauderdale, I could clearly see he has a new -found hunger for this business, a hunger that will be seen in a match-up in Orlando on July 26th as he goes one on one with Paul London. I'll tell ya the 26th can't get here quick enough as I have been anticipating this rematch for almost 2 months now.

 

I get a ton of emails from the fans stating that they love Samu's Tea Bagging comments. Many fans want to know exactly what the deal is and what it means. I'll tell you, I'll ask Samu to explain that one next week in the report so get ready to get Tea Bagged!

 

I want to mention what a great champion Kojima was and he gets tons of respect from the entire MLW locker room. He was no doubt an asset to the business who defended the MLW championship on two continents almost daily. You can bet you have not heard the last of Kojimania.

 

Shouts out to Dan Kowal. Dan and his crew prove show after show that they are the best group of any in the world to promote MLW and I personally can't thank them enough. You all are more appreciated by the MLW offices than you'll ever know and are such an integral part of the MLW team!

 

Check out 1/3rd of the Extreme Horsemen and 1/2 of the MLW GTC champions, Simon Diamond live on Wwrestletalklive.com Friday night at 9PM Eastern Time. It will be a blast to hear for sure.

 

Upon arriving at Narita Airport in Japan for a tour with Shinya Hashimoto's Zero-One promotion, Steve Corino was surrounded by the press who were anxious to get comments and photo opportunities with the new world heavyweight champion.

 

In a related note, the champ and MLW are heavily featured throughout several publications that came out in Japan and stateside last Thursday. Certainly make sure to check out Gong Magazine and Baseball Sha if you get a chance.

 

MLW is looking forward to signing some very intriguing world heavyweight title defenses in the coming months. Stay tuned!

 

Ringside seats are near sold out for 9/19 in Ft. Lauderdale, however some great tickets still remain at that level. Be sure to get yours today so you can be a part of history in the making.

 

MLW is in talks with a company abroad that will no doubt create some chatter for the high flying enthusiasts out there. Who? Just wait and see.

 

Look for some new MLW merchandise in the coming months.

I spoke to PJ Friedman yesterday and he seems to have gotten the word from his doctors that he may be able make a MLW return. Fuego Guerrero will return to MLW as soon as he has been cleared by his doctors as well. We them both a speedy recovery and look forward to experiencing zero gravity soon once again.

 

MLW is proud to announce that the home video release of MLW King of Kings is still one of the top best sellers, constantly ranked in the top 5 bestsellers for Highspots.com. To order King of Kings on either DVD or VHS, visit: this URL.
