MLW FUSION REPORT: A KILLER RETURN, A DYNASTIC BETRAYAL, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2022-02-10 23:11:00

Cesar Duran says let Alexander Hammerstone be an object lesson for everyone. Even the champion has to bend the knee to El Jefe. There are consequences if you do not.

Cesar welcomes everyone to Texas and he laughs. Cesar says he is happy they are in Dallas. He says he is not happy to be in this cesspool. For the last 6 weeks, he was in Tijuana and he comes back to this. Texas is not Mexico. Alexander Hammerstone is just like Texas. All talk and no fight. Tonight, Pagano will destroy Hammerstone and bring the title back to Mexico. When he does, Pagano will never defend the title in Dallas because you don’t deserve it.

Your announcers are Joe Dombrowski and Rich Bocchini.
