Major League Wrestling Fusion Results – October 26, 2018

Fusion #28
Date: October 26, 2018
Location: Melrose Ballroom, New York City, New York
Commentators: Matt Striker, Tony Schiavone

I know it’s a little early but it’s time for the Halloween special. In this case, that means a flashback to days of Halloween gone by, including a Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal. That has the potential to be something great or something awful, but since we don’t have WCW running things and forgetting to rig the wheel (seriously), we should be fine. Let’s get to it.

Earlier this week, Sami Callihan attacked Tom Lawlor and choked him with a baseball bat as Low Ki taunted Lawlor with the title.

Opening sequence, although with a theme of violence as this is the Halloween episode.

Matt and Tony are in costumes with Matt as a crab and making horrible ocean puns.

Richard Holliday vs. Joey Ryan

Hang on though as Joey needs to offer the fans his lollipop and then oil himself down. Tony: “….yeah.” Holliday knees him in the ribs but stops to shout at the fans with Tony calling him out for being stupid. There’s the required knee injury off the atomic drop to Ryan but Holliday is fine enough for a belly to back suplex. A dropkick cuts Ryan off again and we hit the chinlock.

Holliday lets that go and starts a Garvin Stomp.  Ryan pops back up with some right hands but the superkick is blocked. They hit heads and Holliday nearly falls into Ryan’s crotch but stops for a rollup instead. Holliday’s double underhook backbreaker and a suplex into a swinging neckbreaker gets two but Joey is right back with a pumphandle suplex. Sweet Tooth Music is enough to finish Holliday at 4:55.

Result: Joey Ryan b. Richard Holliday – Sweet Tooth Music (4:55)

Konnan gives Sammy Guevara a pep talk. Sammy leaves and here are Salina de la Renta, Low Ki and Ricky Martinez. They laugh at the idea of Konnan losing all the time so Konnan promises to bring in Daga to fight Low Ki. That’s fine with Low Ki, who Konnan calls the ex-champ.

Jimmy Havoc won the coin toss and gets to spin the wheel. The wheel lands on Spinner’s Choice so he looks over his options. Nothing sticks out on the list though so he’ll just do everything at once.

PCO vs. LA Park

Park has Salina with him. Tony says he gets a chill down his spine just looking at Salina PCO shouts a lot and shoves Park into the corner so it’s time for the knees dance. Park shouts what sounds like some rather vulgar statements in Spanish (the words “your mother” were used). That’s not cool with PCO and Park is chokeslammed down.

The moonsault (with PCO landing on his own head) gets two and a suicide dive sends Park into the barricade. They chop it out on the floor with PCO getting the better of it and ramming him into various things. Back in and PCO stomps away but Park dances a bit and hits a running clothesline for two. A knee sends PCO outside and there’s the suicide dive. Park grabs a chair but opts to whip him with a camera cable instead.

Back in and a few belt shots to the back have PCO in trouble as the announcers get into PCO’s bizarre Frankenstein character. PCO gets up and hits a powerbomb, followed by a knee to the mask for two. With Park on the apron, PCO tries a Swanton of all things and lands with a SICK thud, only to stand up as Park hits a big dive of his own. Park throws him back in and finishes with a spear for the pin at 10:40.

Result: LA Park b. PCO – Spear (10:40)

Post match Park speaks Spanish and Salina says it was him thanking the fans and wanting a Tag Team Title shot for himself and his son.

Callihan doesn’t care what Havoc picked and is ready to kill him.

Fightland Control Center. Now confirmed: Lawlor vs. Callihan in a street fight.

Earlier this week, Stokley Hathaway was seen for the first time after being kidnapped about six months ago. Whoever did it was careless and he escaped, so now he can be back at Fightland.

We look at Havoc spinning the wheel again.

Jimmy Havoc vs. Sami Callihan

Anything goes and, in theory at least, Havoc will bring everything that could be used in the other matches on the wheel. Sami comes out with a baseball bat because he doesn’t trust Havoc’s choice of weapons. Jimmy doesn’t bring anything with him but pops Sami in the face while he says the catchphrase. They’re on the floor in a hurry with Jimmy setting up a chair and pulling out a dog collar. That’s not enough as he also grabs a staple gun, which takes WAY too long, allowing Sami to get in a few shots.

Sami chops the post though, allowing Jimmy to poke him in the eye. A running start sets up another poke to the eyes and Havoc staples him in the chest (which is heavily covered). Back in and Havoc tries a sunset flip but gets stapled in the head and underneath the arm. Striker: “Tetanus for everybody!” Sami grabs a chain and doesn’t like the fans telling him to tie his shoes so he throws one of them up the air. The shoe, not the fan.

An overhead belly to belly onto the chain gets two on Havoc so Sami takes off the other shoe, plus his socks. Tony doesn’t think this is the kind of a match where you want your toes exposed. Havoc uses the delay to grab the finger and cut Sami’s hand with an 8×10 of Joey Ryan. He does it between the toes as well (Striker: “If he waterboards him, even better!”) and then on the lips. Since Sami won’t give up, Havoc grabs a lemon and squirts the juice into the cuts.

Havoc goes back to the vicious by stapling Sami’s crotch for a near fall. After stapling Sami’s foot, Jimmy literally pours salt in the wound. Havoc finds a body bad and an urn (Paul Bear impression covered by Striker) but the ashes are knocked into his face. The Cactus Piledriver gives Sami two so he puts a shoe on his hand and hits Havoc in the face. Havoc gets put in the body bag but sits up and spits at him, earning himself a second Cactus Piledriver for the pin at 10:41.

Result: Sami Callihan b. Jimmy Havoc – Cactus Piledriver (10:41)
