Monster Factory: We Been Here
This show is at the Monster Factory in Paulsboro, New Jersey.
The commentary team is Brian Murphy and Fearon Burgundy
I am going to apologize at the star, as the names listed in the graphic Monster Factory posted online is incomplete, and the do not have on screen graphics for the names of the wrestlers. If you do have the names I have in error, please send them to me: Cory dot Strode at Gmail dot com
LSG, MSG, GSK, and GKM vs Aigle Blanc, Spiro, Lawrence Roman, and Robert Griester
Everyone gets a short time in the ring with no one getting a real advantage. It seems like there were a lot of substitutions on the Aigle Blanc side as his partners are not listed on the card the Factory released. I probably have the names incorrect.
It’s a fast paced opening match where everyone gets a few big moves in. Spiro accidentally drop kicks one of his partners and is pinned after getting hit with a flying crossbody off the ropes.
Winners: LSG, MSG, GSK, and GKM
This match allows only 3 violations of the rules before disqualification.

Gabby and Stevie Brooks fight as Viviet comes out and they brawl out the door.
Most of the participants brawl at ringside with two people coming into the ring at various intervals. It then turns to one person being taken out with someone coming in the ring to replace them. We do have times when no one is in the ring and we see the ringside brawling.

This is a match that was probably MUCH better in person and iit came off as way too busy and hard to follow on TV.

Most of the matches were short (with many less than 5 minutes), and it was clear that the crowd knew these characters and enjoyed it. I have to keep in mind that that is a training facility, and money from the matches came off as rudimentary, and a little confusing and dull on TV. As someone who doesn’t know the Monster Factory characters, they have a show on Apple TV, it came off as a lot of short, basic matches and did not hook me into watching more of their shows.
