Anybody watch MLW?

Recommended Posts

Guest Taz_mark

At times it seems like a big ECW rip off(well it is) but I love Corino so it's cool that I can see him on TV every week. :wub:

I like it, it has a great blend of different styles, so there is something for every fan. I dislike that they only show two matches a week, but oh well. Still's better that that other show on mondays, most of the time anyway.

I don't get the tv show, and all I have seen is Reload. I wasn't all that impressed. It started out brilliantly with Red/Crazy and that fantastic 6 man, but once you put in the rest, it loses its appeal to me. There are a lot of guys in MLW that I just can't stand, so personally, it's good, but not good enough to justify me buying tapes.

I've seen pretty much all the TV shows plus a few of their big shows and its pretty good stuff. Certainly not at the level of ECW to me (as far as booking goes, MLW is ok but nothing groundbreaking) but everyone works hard and I like the occasional appearances of Puro workers, which helps.

 

BTW if anyone would like to get a deal going with me for taping future MLW weekly shows, let me know. I had a guy helping me out with that but lost the resources.

I get to see it when my blackbox decides to work since normally I wouldn't get the Sunshine network.

 

From what I have seen it is pretty damn good. Too much talking though at times, although the good matches usually deliver.

Cool, I will contact you soon, hopefully we could work a trade out for a months worth of MLW month by month if possible. I have all of the shows up til the beginning of July (last show I got is the Awesome-Kojima-Corino match).

You havn't watched in a long time. The arena for Hybrid Hell was lighted pretty good and the crowd was generally hot for everything.

 

Rhodes hasn't been at a taping since December 2002. The Extreme Horsemen v Old School Storyline is Pretty Good, although throwing Sandman in there really boggles the mind.

 

Mike Whipwreck Rules by the way.

I havent had a chance to watch it yet. However I did check to see if it ws all there, so I know it starts with Sabu/Whipwreck and ends with a Corino promo.

Oh....The networks will edit matches with too much violence like Sabu v. La Parka 1 from December, where La PArka was bleeding all over the place and Sabu was stabbing him in the face with a spike.

 

Other than that match all the matches were shown in full. I noticed that they dont edit anything for commercial breaks, and jsut restart from where they left off before hand.

Well just to let you know, its not as good as you might hope and think. Its still ok but nothing extra-ordinary.

 

The last show was horrible. But they still do pretty good.

This is the same guy who is a huge fan of X-Pac, so listen to him at your own risk.

Yeah, my mistake. What I actually saw was a re-cap of last week, thats why it was clipped. DOH! In my defence though, I was just skimming through it to make sure it was all there.

Fuego Guerrero (Amazing Red) is also returning to MLW at Rise of the Renegades, I'm guessing he'll face Jimmy Yang. I don't know about Abdullah the Butcher and his never-ending boobs being brought in, but it should be a good hardcore brawl between him and Terry Funk.

Yeah, I forgot about Fuego. That should be a good one with him and Yang.

 

I'm hoping Homicide will take Paul London's place against Jerry Lynn. London/Lynn was the main reason I bought my tickets in the first place.

 

Anyway, should be a good show. I'll post results when I get back on Sunday, unless somebody beats me to it.

Here's the results from MLW.com just so I don't have to type that much.

 

Results from Rise of the Renegades:

**In an impromptu match, "Dr. Death" Steve Williams and The Sandman defeated Simon Diamond and CW Anderson with the stipulation added that if Williams & Sandman defeated the Extreme Horsemen, Anderson & Diamond must defend the Global Tag-Team Crown championship August 22nd. The ending saw Funk come in with the rope still around his neck and stun all three horsemen followed by a top rope Sandmanton. Funk, The Sandman, and "Dr. Death" all then drank and partied with the fans through out the arena to end the show.

 

**MLW World Heavyweight Title Match: MLW World Heavyweight Champion Steve Corino pinned "Gladiator" Mike Awesome to retain the World Heavyweight Championship. At the end of the match, the Extreme Horsemen ran into the ring to attack Mike Awesome leading to Terry Funk returning to the ring attacking Corino with a garbage can. After the match, the Horsemen roped Funk by the neck and hanged the Hardcore Legend before he was helped out by MLW officials.

 

**Bounty Match: Terry Funk defeated Abdullah the Butcher in a violent and bloody match with a cross body block. The match was a classic with the use of forks, broken bottles, and more!

 

**CM Punk & Michael Shane (with Francine) defeated Norman Smiley (with GI Ho) and Raven.

 

**Richard Criado pinned Nosawa with a modified Michinoku Driver 2.

 

**Mikey Whipwreck (with The Sinister Minister) pinned Sabu (Bill Alfonso) after The Sinister Minister threw a fire ball into Sabu's eyes leading to Whipwreck pinning Sabu.

 

**GTC Challenge (both Williams & Sandman must defeat the Extreme Horsemen in singles competition in order to advance to a tag team title shot on 8/22): Simon Diamond pinned The Sandman with the Gem Cutter.

 

**In the impromptu Young Lions Challenge: "Notorious 187" Homicide pinned Jerry Lynn (with The Sinister Minister) with a reversed sunset flip.

 

**GTC Challenge (both Williams & Sandman must defeat the Extreme Horsemen in singles competition in order to advance to a tag team title shot on 8/22): "Dr. Death" Steve Williams pinned "Enforcer" CW Anderson with the backdrop driver.

 

**Samoan Island Tribe and Da Hit Squad went to a no contest.

 

**Josh Daniels defeated Richard Criado.

 

**Los Maximos defeated Jimmy Yang & Tony Mamaluke with the Spanish Fly.

 

 

Sandman provided a very cool moment at the end of the show when he invited everyone to come to the lobby to take pictures and drink beer, then walked through the crowd to the bar. He stood on the bar while a bunch of us stood around it with our arms up, yelling our asses off.

 

I met Funk, Raven, Dr. Death, Los Maximos, Sandman and Norman Smiley, and all of them were cool as hell, especially Terry.

The crowd is loud its just Sunshine has too edit out because theres alot of cursing and MLW has bad production values so its loud just MLW dosen't have the right materials too make it sound good

As far as crowd noise, we were louder than hell last night. I'll be interested to see how it comes across on tv. Markingout is correct, a lot of editing will have to be done. CM Punk taunting the crowd for chanting "You suck dick" at him and Sandman starting a "Pussy" chant towards the Extreme Horsemen are just 2 examples.

 

Unfortunately, Raven lifting GI Ho's shirt to show us her tits will have to be cut as well.
