MLW FUSION REPORT: LOW KI VERSUS RICHARD HOLLIDAY, HAMMERSTONE SPEAKS, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2020-12-09 20:00:00

We begin with comments from Josef Samael and he says he is far from MLW’s palatial headquarters. Contra has accomplished everything they said they would do. They will strike when you don’t expect it. I am in the mountains and I am readying a new group of soldiers. Davey Boy Smith Jr was never the same after Jacob Fatu broke his spirit. Hammerstone is not as mighty as he was before. Tonight, we will take out and destroy another grand legacy of this sport. The Von Erichs will lose their titles.

We are in Orlando, Florida and your announcers are Jared St. Laurent and Rich Bocchini.

After the match, Tankman says you got a small taste of what he is about. He came to MLW to face the best in the world. Line them up and I will knock them down. Heavyweight Hustle never gives up. He has people waiting for him to bring the money home to feed his family. I am here now and I am here so come see what you’ve got and test yourself against one of the best. I promise you will not like what you see.

We see highlights of Richard Holliday and Low Ki’s victories in the first round.

We go to commercial.

We are back with Salina de la Renta in the Aztec Ruins. She says revenge has taken her here. In the Aztec ruins, a man roams and endures pain. He was 7 years old when an earthquake destroyed Mexico City. His hate grew. He returned to Earth and returned to his temple to rule. He had the desire for revenge. Salina summons him.

We go to American Top Team where Dan Lambert wonders why King Mo is an alternate while Low Ki is advancing in the tournament. He says the only thing advancing for Low Ki should be the CTE from being knocked out by King Mo. Dan says maybe if his lawyers cannot send the message, then King Mo should take care of Low Ki.

Low Ki says his strategy against Richard Holliday is going to be rather simple. Him and his rarefied air is going to run out because I will knock those ear buds off his head. I have a variety of ways to take him down and you will have to tune into to see how I do it.

Richard Holliday is in “The Caribbean” and he tells Hammerstone that his first round victory was dedicated to him, not the consumers. To think that Spanish Troll Gino Medina tried to weasel in. My sights are set for the second round and I am looking at you. I hope the bravado in your lungs can handle my rarefied air.

We go to commercial.

We are back with footage of Myron Reed’s victory over Brian Pillman Jr. We see Reed’s comments about Lio Rush.

We go to Lio Rush and he says this is the time in the video when I would introduce myself but I don’t need an introduction. You are looking at me and asking why are you sitting in your $100,000 car right now. He says he is going to the studio. The board of directors asked him to knock out a video. He says you are welcome and thanks for nothing. I have some things I would like to get off my chest.

Myron Reed wants to put his title on the line against me. Myron has to remember that he does not call the shots for the Man of the Hour. The match will not happen on December 23rd. I have people to see and gifts to give. Unfortunately for you, you have been a naughty little champ so you are not getting that one on one with me on December 23rd.

Lio tells Court to write up the papers because we are bringing in the year in a golden way. January, that is the time and that is the date. I am coming and I am coming to collect. In the meantime, get your all bran cereal and cry in your 300 square foot room and train harder than you have ever trained before because the title is coming to a real man.

Alexander Hammerstone is with Alicia Atout. Alex thanks the fans for checking on him. He says he wants to talk about Mads Krugger. She asks him about his in ring debut last week. Hammerstone says he made an impressive debut. He says he has never been hit as hard during his time in MLW than he was hit with that chair. He says the Nightmare Pendulum is coming.

She asks him about the news that he has. Hammerstone says he has been cleared to return to the ring and he makes a challenge for Mads Krugger next week. He has his eyes on Jacob Fatu.

Contra Unit interrupts the interview and Krugger says it does not matter. All that matters is what I have planned for you.
