MLW Fusion Discussion: A New ERA Begins

[Barry Poppins]

I personally would want MLW staying as far away from NWA as humanly possible.

If only it was 2019 NWA, when it had so much potential.

The N.W.A. women’s division is still pretty solid.

The N.W.A. women’s division is still pretty solid.

As long as it has Natalia Markova, Valentina Rossi, Tiffany Nieves, and Haley J, it's in good hands.

I also absolutely love and enjoy the shit out of MLW's undercard. From the two shows I've caught, Angels vs. Kushida, and Aries vs. Trevor Lee we're tasty as fuck.

I really am not overly behind the main event scene with Bishop Dyer, Hammer, Riddle, and Kross leading the pack. There's something I will always find pretentious about Kross; where he believes he has ascended past many of his contemporaries when really... I haven't seen much out of him to warrant that feeling being just, but this is also me projecting my own assumptions about the dude. But I'm good on reading people, so I digress.

 

[Barry Poppins]

Really if there's any crossover I wanna see from MLW and NWA, it's the women's divisions only.

Outside of Bishop, I couldn’t disagree with you more. One of the things that got me really excited about fusion is it’s being topped by people I actually care about this time. Killer Kross being the example. That is my guy. He has been for almost 10 years now ever since I first saw him on impact in 2018. I’ve been waiting for that guy to be the number one guy somewhere and now that MLW has done it that’s why I’m here. I can’t say I’m the biggest fan of Riddle but he has been impressing me more since coming to MLW. Hammer is on his way down, but he still has a spot in my opinion. I think him and Kross will definitely have a good program.

 

[Tremendez]

Also power and fusion don’t have to have any actual crossovers. I would just put fusion on after power and use that nice 250,000 audience as a lead in and hopefully get a couple NWA viewers to watch fusion.

My opinion of him is also incredibly skewed with both the lack of exposure I have seen of him and just my overall outsider opinion. I've liked everything he has done so far and I'll 100% keep tuning in. I like this realism version of him and not the overly cryptic version.

I also had the fattest crush on Scarlett circa like 2013 ROH, so again with the skewed opinions.

Josh Bishop is one of thr guys MLW should try to cultivate as a face of their company. The fact he's remained independent this long just blows my mind. Him murdering Justice with the Razor's Edge from the bleachers was a genuine moment.

 

[Hoss]

I'd say Kross' presentation in MLW seems better than a lot of his WWE run, though I think the bald look worked pretty well for him. Main event was a solid one for sure. I'm not crazy invested in these guys so it didn't really amount to anything to write home about, but it's another good step towards progress for the company.

 

[Sky]

Okay, now for MLW, Kross vs. Riddle

 

[Sky]

Evil KUSHIDA is a vibe

 

[Sky]

Though it's a shame he couldn't quite revive his Jinsei Shinzaki ripoff from TNA. Remember that?

 

[Sky]

Why not reverse the decision for excessive violence? That rule only matters when it does

 

[Sky]

But other than that, nice match, I like evil KUSHIDA
