Location: 2300 Arena, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Commentators: Rich Bocchini, Matt Striker

This is a major event for the company as we’re live again for the second time ever. The fact that the network is allowing them to go live for a second time in a pretty short time frame is a good sign for them and hopefully it leads to some more positive signs in the future. The main event here is Low Ki defending the World Title against Tom Lawlor in a match several months in the making. Let’s get to it.

The opening video looks at Low Ki being undefeated in MLW, including in the original incarnation of the company. Lawlor on the other hand has been running through everyone in front of him and hasn’t lost in several months.

We run down the card.

Tag Team Titles: Lucha Bros vs. Hart Foundation

Teddy Hart and Davey Boy Smith Jr. are challenging here, with Brian Pillman Jr. in their corner, complete with Teddy carrying a cat (Striker: “Teddy Hart trying to get to the top of the meow-ntain tonight.”) and Smith with a bulldog (Striker: “The puppy-razzi.”). Striker even explains the very basic rules of tag team wrestling, down to what constitutes a tag.

Smith picks Fenix up and sits him on the top before shrugging off some loud chops. A few forearms have Fenix rocked so he kicks Smith in the head to do some actual damage. The champs come in for stereo superkicks to Smith, followed by a Codebreaker into a flip splash to Teddy’s back. The victory roll splash hits Smith, drawing Teddy back in for the break. Teddy gets sent outside and now the chops have some more effect on Smith. They have so much of an effect that he northern lights suplexes both champs without even staggering.

Hart comes in for a double hanging DDT and we take a break. Since I’m watching on YouTube, we get what I believe is footage from the break with the Harts beating them up on the floor, including a double noggin knocker. Commentary comes back after about thirty seconds with Hart hitting his crazy top rope moonsault to the floor. Back in and it’s Project Ciampa to Fenix, setting up the super powerslam into a top rope moonsault elbow for two as Pentagon makes the save.

We get a showdown between Hart and Pentagon, meaning the chop off is on again. Hart goes to an uppercut but charges into a superkick, only to eat a Sling Blade. Since Hart can just do this, he goes up and hits a super Canadian Destroyer, only to come up favoring his knee. Therefore it’s back to Fenix, who hits his sweet rolling cutter on Hart. Pentagon hits a Canadian Destroyer of his own and a superkick knocks Smith to the floor.

Another superkick into the Pentagon Driver plants Hart but Fenix has to go after Pillman. Pentagon isn’t done with dropping Hart on his head so it’s another Canadian Destroyer on the apron. The Fear Factor gets two as Pillman makes an off camera save. They all go to the corner with Smith pulling off Pentagon’s mask in a truly evil move. With Pentagon down, it’s a Doomsday Canadian Destroyer to finish Fenix at 11:28.

Result: Hart Foundation b. Lucha Bros – Doomsday Canadian Destroyer to Fenix (11:28)

Low Ki talks about how they’re finally here in a place with incredible wrestling history. He has been taking prizes, such as the title, a mask, a piece of flesh and more. Tonight, he’s taking a new trophy when he takes the lion’s mane from Lawlor. The violence tonight will be like nothing Lawlor has ever seen.

Ricky Martinez vs. Kotto Brazil

Grudge match after Martinez allegedly attacked Brazil with a champagne bottle, injuring his eye and leaving Brazil needing an eyepatch. Martinez feigns blindness on the way to the ring. Salina de la Renta is here too and has a purse, which almost has to mean something. Brazil isn’t waiting on the bell and nails Martinez with a suicide dive to get things going in a hurry.

They brawl in the aisle with Martinez not even being able to get his jacket off. Martinez gets sent into the barricade and then the post, which is finally enough to set up the opening bell. They get in for the first time with Kotto hitting a missile dropkick for two. Martinez is back up with a shot to the face to knock Brazil outside. That means another whip into the barricade and a swing sends Brazil into it again. Back in and the Martinez rams him face first into the mat over and over again as we talk about how good Salina looks.

Brazil’s comeback doesn’t last long as Martinez pulls him off the ropes and into a backbreaker for a crash. Martinez takes way too long going up though and it’s time for the comeback off a series of clotheslines. Another good looking dropkick puts Martinez down and a hanging Backstabber gets two. Martinez grabs an electric chair drop and gets two of his own off a wheelbarrow suplex.

It also lets Striker talk about the difference between covering belly to back and belly to belly. Brazil is right back up with something like an Edgecator to send Martinez straight to the rope. That seems to be enough for Martinez as he rips off the eyepatch and knees Brazil in said eye for two.

Code Red gives Brazil two of his own and it’s off to Naomi’s reverse Rings of Saturn. That’s enough to get Salina on the apron so Brazil grabs her by the throat. It’s time to go into the purse though with Salina pulling out some kind of spray to blind Brazil, giving Martinez the pin at 10:12.

Result: Ricky Martinez b. Kotto Brazil – Spray to the face (10:12)

Jimmy Havoc is coming back.

MLW is going live again in four weeks from Chicago for Intimidation Games.

The Hart Foundation is celebrating with champagne in the shower. Maxwell Jacob Friedman comes in to say he wants the Middleweight Title back. Teddy: “Why don’t you lick the champagne off the belt?” MJF can come get a title shot whenever. Or he can go join the Elite.

SuperFight II is coming to Los Angeles on February 1, 2020.

MLW World Title: Low Ki vs. Tom Lawlor

Lawlor is challenging and pulls out his own hair during his entrance. How Mick Foley of him. They go right at it after the bell with Lawlor gets in a left hand to knock Low Ki down, which he swears wasn’t a knockdown. Striker: “You fight like you’re the third monkey on Noah’s Ark and it’s starting to rain!”

Lawlor can’t get the arm so the champ charges at him, earning a heck of a t-bone suplex. A hard kick to the chest slows Lawlor down and Low Ki sends him shoulder first into the post. The arm gets wrapped around the post before Low Ki grabs…..a door from underneath the ring.

Low Ki misses a right hand and punches his way through the door to give Lawlor two instead. Lawlor’s bad arm doesn’t hold up so Low Ki reverses into a dragon suplex over the ropes. A superplex attempt earns Lawlor a crotching and the top rope double stomp gives the champ two. Low Ki grabs the dragon sleeper but gets reversed into a rear naked choke….for the knockout to make Lawlor champion at 4:49.

Result: Tom Lawlor b. Low Ki – Rear naked choke (4:49)
