BoboBrazil 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2003 -They will be adding a platform higher than the toprope to each ringpost to add a new dimension to flying moves on 10/24. -Another gimmick that is scheduled for the MLW debut in Dallas in November is a Toryumon style six sided ring. They are hoping to bring in guys from Toryumon that have experience working with it. -They are trying to break from the ECW look, so they are going to change the graphics and looks of the show. -wrestling observer newsletter 9-15 edition Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silence 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2003 They'd better do something about the lighting and the mic volume too, because I can barely hear a word anyone says on the mic except the ring announcer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Open the Muggy Gate 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2003 If the people end up liking these new innovations, MLW could become a big time player. They could be right up there with TNA possibly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JohnnySwift Report post Posted September 23, 2003 Didn't Eric Bischoff try and start a teen cruiserweight wrestling fed with the platforms on top of the turnbuckles a few years back? I think it started off being called Ring Rats production or something like that, then they changed the name. Does anyone else remember this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BoboBrazil 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2003 Yes, it was called matrats and that is where MLW got the idea from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Dave O'Neill, Journalist Report post Posted September 23, 2003 Yup, CIMA's cool, but I'm watched the six sided ring match on the Best Of Japan 2002 set, and if anyone's in there who doesnt know what to do, the match will DIE. Its gonna require a great deal of planning and spot going through Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cynicalprofit 0 Report post Posted September 25, 2003 I could be wrong here, but didnt CIMA get seriously screwed up and quit or something of that nature. I could have sworn he atleast got seriously hurt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Joe_G Report post Posted September 25, 2003 I could be wrong here, but didnt CIMA get seriously screwed up and quit or something of that nature. I could have sworn he atleast got seriously hurt. He just worked for the promotion two days ago, so I'd say no. And I don't like the platform idea. Wrestling has been veering too closely to a stuntshow lately, this just crosses the line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
