    Episode #25
    Air Date: 9/22/03

    The Big News: STEVE CORINO will meet TERRY FUNK for the MLW WORLD
    CHAMPIONSHIP in JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA on OCTOBER 24th, 2003 at MLW HYBRID
    HORROR SHOW. Throughout the show they put over FUNK being able to chose the
    stipulation for the match, while the TV TAPING promos announce the match
    being a BARB WIRE LADDER MATCH. MLW will also have THE SKY COMBAT OPEN at
    HYBRID HORROR SHOW, which involves "launching platforms" in the match for
    spots that will, I'm sure, nearly kill at least one person.

    TV Show Big News: THE FUNKIN' ARMY meets THE EXTREME HORSEMEN in WARGAMES:
    "THE MATCH BEYOND" next week on MLW UNDERGROUND. The MLW GLOBAL JUNIOR
    HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP "J-CUP USA" TOURNAMENT also begins next week.

    Match Results: Francine/Michael Shane (X) d. G.I. Ho(O)/Norman Smiley, Mana
    p. Richard J. Criado, Los Maximos (Joel/Jose(X)) d. B-Boy/Nosawa(O)

    Overview:

    Last week on MLW UNDERGROUND... C.M. PUNK pinned RAVEN in a STRAIGHT EDGE
    RULES MATCH. The recap lasts almost 5 minutes and, if you're keep score at
    home, was longer than the entire match between PUNK & RAVEN that aired in
    episode #15 (7/14/03). That match lasted 3:03 TV Time. WOO!

    This is what's it like when worlds collide. What is it really--- oh well.
    It's a collage of people getting beat up. SONJAY DUTT's slingshot
    springboard corkscrew plancha from his match with JIMMY YANG is in the
    opening now.

    JOEY STYLES opens the show and notes that this is the aftermath show for
    MLW WARGAMES and you can find out all the information at MLW.Com. This sort
    of reminds me of the old WCW WORLDWIDES where they'd talk about the most
    recent pay-per-view the weekend after it happen and the conversation
    between the announcers would go something like this "What a show we are
    just coming off of this Sunday Night! Unbelievable happenings!" "What a
    show! WCW never fails to deliver! I still can't believe what happened!"
    "Fans, we'll have a complete rundown of PAY-PER-VIEW NAME HERE next week on
    WCW WORLDWIDE..." ... STYLES runs down the show as MANA faces RICHARD J.
    CRIADO... and LOS MAXIMOS face B-BOY/NOSAWA in the Main Event. Right now
    however, it's an INTERGENDER TAG TEAM MATCH as FRANCINE & MICHAEL SHANE
    face G.I. HO & NORMAN SMILEY...

    MATCH #1: FRANCINE & MICHAEL SHANE v. G.I. HO & NORMAN SMILEY in an
    INTERGENDER TAG TEAM MATCH.

    STYLES continues to call SHANE the nephew of SHAWN MICHAELS. TNA continues
    to have him call himself the cousin. So what is the relationship? SHANE
    admits in interviews to being his cousin... but his official web site
    doesn't exist anymore to confirm/deny either... maybe the almighty DAVE
    MELTZER can shed some light? ... STYLES continues to fixate on FRANCINE's
    fake boobs. A bunch of my friends insist that STYLES is just biter FRANCINE
    never laid him, but allegedly did everyone else and their mother... STYLES
    wonders where the rest of G.I. HO's shorts went. He says this would be a
    good time for a beaver joke... then says we'll be right back.

    MLW HYBRID HORROW SHOW... JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA. OCTOBER 24th. $10 GENERAL
    ADMISSION! RINGSIDE $*30*

    WEW returns to TVN URBAN XTRA PPV with BATTLE OF THE HOT BODY ASSASSINS in
    SEPTEMBER. This show features G.I. HO in her battle to win the WEW Belt.
    Wow, I so don't care. Hot bodies? Where?

    G.I. HO has lift boots on, which brings me back to the days of GH & JOE's
    fun jokes about TRIPLE H and lifts... at the bell, she turns her back on
    FRANCINE and FRANCINE decides to tag in MICHAEL SHANE. HO poses and SHANE
    grabs her. SMILEY comes in, spins SHANE around. HO slaps SHANE and SHANE
    begs off from SMILEY. SMILEY gets HO out of the ring, but turns around in
    time to catch SHANE sneaking up on him. More begging off... SHANE wants
    time out. SMILEY backs off and gets a boot to the gut for his troubles.
    Punches by SHANE. Arm wringer by SMILEY from a whip, then into a whip of
    his own. SHANE with a go behind from a press slam attempt, but SMILEY runs
    to the ropes and shoves SHANE off. SMILEY charges, then dances as SHANE
    mistimes a leap frog. SMILEY then nails SHANE with a right hook.
    Clothesline by SMILEY. Corner whip, but SMILEY eats a boot on the charge.
    SHANE misses with a leap from the middle turnbuckles, then misses a cross
    body after bouncing off the ropes (yet lands on his feet, I guess he wasn't
    very committed)... SMILEY then catches him with his wind up scoop slam.
    STYLES calls it a tilt-a-wirl body slam. Whip is reversed by SHANE and
    FRANCINE grabs SMILEY's foot from the floor. SMILEY grabs FRANCINE and
    SHANE nails him from behind. Punches. Turnbuckle Smash. SHANE then chokes
    SMILEY with his boot in the corner. Corner whip. SMILEY leaps to the ring
    apron. Wiggle. SMILEY catches the boot. Spins him around... Head butt to
    the back of the head, then looks for the Wiggle (from the apron, no
    less)... FRANCINE breaks it up. HO comes in and FRANCINE goes to work on
    SMILEY on the floor with a rake of the eyes. Snap mare by SHANE. Knee drop
    gets two. SHANE takes forever with a suplex and small gets a small package
    for two. SHANE then nails SMILEY with a clothesline and screams
    "TWOOOOOOOOO!!!" SHANE holds SMILEY in a front chancery... FRANCINE kicks
    away at SMILEY and STYLES makes a sucks comment/joke. Snap mare by SHANE
    gets two after a distraction by HO. SHANE tags FRANCINE. Same kicks with
    the front chancery. FRANCINE kicks SMILEY a bunch, then kicks low. SMILEY
    barely takes a knee lift by FRANCINE, then tries for a clothesline and
    FRANCINE scurries for the tag to SHANE. SHANE nails SMILEY with a
    forearm/right hand to the head as SMILEY is on all fours after going after
    FRANCINE. SHANE with an eye rake across the top ring rope. FRANCINE then
    with a neck snap over the top ring rope. Punches by SHANE as the crowd
    chants for G.I. HO [shudders]... Knee lift by SHANE. SMILEY starts fighting
    back and they exchange punches. Whip by SMILEY, which is then caught and
    becomes a whip by SHANE. SMILEY eats a dropkick in mid-air that looks ugly
    and STYLES says SMILEY was going for a high cross body--- well, he'd still
    have been more committed than SHANE's attempt earlier, but --- ah well...
    SHANE gets two. Corner whip and a charge hits a forearm. SMILEY slumps in
    the corner on the bottom turnbuckle. FRANCINE then hits the BRONCO BUSTER,
    which STYLES jokingly calls the Tuna-canrana. SMILEY hooks FRANCINE's legs
    and won't let her go... STYLES makes a diver down joke as SHANE tries to
    pull FRANCINE away... SHANE finally gets FRANCINE free. SMILEY comes up
    from behind SHANE, catches a mule kick (in an odd sequence) and turnbuckle
    smashes SHANE... Head butt by SMILEY, who then grabs FRANCINE and does the
    "have FRANCINE's head head butt SHANE's crotch spot" they used in SHANE's
    match with HOMICIDE. SHANE then falls out of the corner and head butts
    FRANCINE in the crotch in the process. STYLES: "Wow... I can't believe
    MICHAEL SHANE didn't fall in." SMILEY gets two. SMILEY goes for a vertical
    suplex, but SHANE floats over and they both hit clotheslines to have a ten
    minute sell at 7:00. The women are tagged and HO goes after FRANCINE.
    STYLES screams CAT FIGHT~! as they roll around. SHANE dumps SMILEY as
    SMILEY charges. SHANE grabs HO and tries a powerbomb, but SMILEY (from the
    apron) punches SHANE in the back of the head allowing HO to give SHANE a
    hurricanrana (yes, I use the AMERICANIZED spelling rather than
    huracanrana)... FRANCINCE then clotheslines HO. SMILEY gets a double leg on
    FRANCINE and slingshots her into SHANE, knocking SHANE off the apron to the
    floor. SMILEY then wiggles FRANCINE against the ropes, but SHANE comes back
    in and SMILEY eats a superkick. HO leaps on SHANE's back and he snap mares
    her over. He pulls her back up and clotheslines her. STYLES calls SHANE's
    clothesline despicable, despite the fact that SHANE's acts are legal within
    the context of the match and SMILEY's acts are just crude sexual
    references. But SHANE's the heel, so I guess STYLES' schtick works... SHANE
    then pulls handcuffs from his trunks and FRANCINE handcuffs SMILEY's hands
    between the bottom rope. SHANE hits another clothesline on HO after
    bringing a table into the ring. SHANE sets up a table as FRANCINE berates
    SMILEY. FRANCINE chokes SMILEY as SHANE places HO on the table. SMILEY
    screams (he *WAS* "Screamin'" at one point)... but no black magic (HA!)
    could save HO from a splash from the top through a table by SHANE. SMILEY
    goes insane. SHANE covers HO for the pinfall in 10:43. FRANCINE chokes
    SMILEY with her boot following the fall. Old ECW referee JOHN FINNAGAN
    (sp?) tries to stop it and she shoves him off. This leads to SHANE getting
    some boots in for fun.

    MATCH #1: Francine & Michael Shane d. G.I. Ho & "Black Magic" Norman Smiley
    by Pinfall (10:43) when Shane pinned Ho after a splash from the top
    turnbuckle through a table in an InterGender Tag Team Match.

    MLW RELOAD HOME VIDEO PROMO... SATOSHI KOJIMA v. JERRY LYNN... SABU v.
    TAIYO KEA... EL VAMPIRO v. STEVE CORINO v. THE SANDMAN--- the best match on
    the entire show is a six man with QUIET STORM/LOS MAXIMOS v. CHRISTOPHER
    DANIELS/FAR EAST CONNECTION (HIDAKA/TOGO), yet it's not in the promo bit.
    BAH! Regardless, if you order now you might receive the home video in time
    for CHRISTMAS! ... 2005.

    Back from COMMERCIAL and STYLES takes a few seconds to inform us that next
    week WARGAMES will be aired on TELEVISION. THE EXTREME HORSEMEN v. THE
    FUNKIN' ARMY. STYLES says it'll be EIGHT MEN--- but from what I recall from
    the results, it was 10 (well, if you count BILL ALFONSO in a wrestling
    match as an entire participant not with a referee shirt)...

    MATCH #2: MANA v. RICHARD J. CRIADO

    Two students of AFA's school in ALLENTOWN, PA are set to battle it out.;
    STYLES goes over the fact that MANA is a former All Star RUGBY player in
    New Zealand who moved to the US. No mention of MANA being called TAMU for 7
    weeks before the random name change, however. STYLES calls CRIADO a down
    right sneak. CRIADO shoves MANA (well, love taps) him to start. MANA shoves
    him down hard. CRIADO tries for a hip toss and eats a clothesline. head
    butt and series of wicked chops for CRIADO. MANA whips CRIADO to the ropes.
    CRIADO ducks two clothesline attempts and floats over a Samoan Drop attempt
    into a go behind. MANA runs to the ropes and shoves CRIADO off. CRIADO
    ducks a clothesline again, bounces off the ropes and is caught with a
    fireman's carry. MANA holds him there, teasing a Samoan Drop or Death
    Valley Driver and drops CRIADO over his head/forward. Centon splash. CRIADO
    rolls to the floor. STYLES mentions CRIADO's nickname of PERFECT CREATION
    and how he gave himself that nickname. CRIADO walks around the ring,
    finally gets on the apron and points at someone in the crowd in a
    disgruntled manner. This is cue for MANA to jump him from behind. MANA does
    a delayed vertical suplex, then drops CRIADO stomach first across the ring
    rope instead of bringing him into the ring. Scoop slam by MANA. CRIADO gets
    a desperation low blow, jawbreaker, drop toe hold (with a float over)...
    CRIADO then drops a leg across the back of the head and a knee. STYLES
    calls this all correctly. CRIADO starts corner mounted punches, and MANA
    tosses him off. Shoulder block by MANA takes CRIADO doe. MANA inverted gut
    wrenches CRIADO, places him back down then overhead inverted gut wrench
    suplexes CRIADO. STYLES wonders what the hell it is then calls it an
    inverted gut wrench suplex--- which works. MANA misses a charge in the
    corner after a whip. CRIADO goes to the top. MANA catches him, teases a
    toss, then crotches him. MANA then hits a Samoan Drop from the middle
    turnbuckle for the pinfall in 4:05. There you go, spend the entire match
    building to the Samoan guy hitting a Samoan Drop. It worked.

    MATCH #2: Mana d. Richard J. Criado by Pinfall (4:05) after a Samoan Drop
    from the middle turnbuckle.

    MLW MERCHANDISE. Buy shirts for people who are injured! They need the
    money! On a political front, FUEGO GUERRERO sort of had it coming by
    refusing to let stuff heal--- but wasn't TAIYO KEA's injury just a freak
    thing? But I digress--- they need your money.

    Okay STYLES, I know visit some other web site other than MLW.com. This
    promo is annoying.

    A someotherwrestlingsite.com they've got sources inside the WWE locker
    room, inside the WWE television studios, and inside the WWE offices! It's
    the web site VINCE McMAHON doesn't want you to know about! It's
    someotherwrestlingsite.com ... oh yeah.

    LOS MAXIMOS are standing around. JOSE has taken to keeping his straps down,
    thus making it easier to tell the difference between the MAXIMOS other than
    JOEL is bigger than JOEL and JOSE is a twig. I believe I usually stick with
    "JOSE (skinny) & JOEL (fat)." While JOEL is hardly fat. It just seems silly
    to say "not as skinny" as the distinguishing feature. Ah well... they tell
    us that it doesn't matter who MLW tags against them. JOSE says it doesn't
    matter that NOSAWA might be the best junior heavyweight in CMLL or NEW
    JAPAN. JOEL says that B-BOY might be one of the best on the West Coast, but
    they follow it up saying they're talking about the world. They insist
    they're the best damn tag team in the world today and shall show you
    tonight. Expect the unexpected, of course.

    JOEY STYLES hypes MLW HYBRID HORROR SHOW in JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA with
    STEVE CORINO defending the MLW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP against TERRY FUNK after
    mentioning LOS MAXIMOS v. B-BOY/NOSAWA as the main event. FUNK apparently
    wants to name a stipulation for the match, but CORINO's lawyers said they'd
    let him name the stip on the condition that his would be FUNK's last shot
    at the MLW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP (or is it just while CORINO's champion? Also,
    does this mean if FUNK wins it--- then loses the belt later--- he gets no
    return match?)... STYLES says that this is FUNK's last shot at STEVE
    CORINO's WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP in a manner that makes me wonder if STYLES has
    even watched his own product. CORINO won the belt in an unscheduled match
    in JUNE (lost to FUNK in a NON-TITLE match immediately following), defended
    the title against AWESOME in JULY, was in JAPAN for the AUGUST show, then
    competed in WARGAMES in AUGUST. So what shot did TERRY FUNK get exactly?
    But I digress...

    MLW is ON TOUR for HYBRID HORROR SHOW... TERRY FUNK v. STEVE CORINO in a
    BARB WIRE LADDER MATCH... LOW-KI... all the stars of MAJOR LEAGUE
    WRESTLING... MLW.Com has the Stipulation for the title match still being
    "TBA"... they also list NOSAWA/EL VAMPIRO v. C.M. PUNK/??? and "SKY COMBAT
    OPEN"...

    MLW RELOAD is on HOME VIDEO! Ask someone who's ordered it if they've
    received it yet! Odds are they haven't!

    WEW--- WOMEN'S EXTREME WRESTLING is on PAY-PER-VIEW, but you might as well
    give your money to a homeless man. It'll be worth just as much in his urine
    stream as it would be watching this. Still looking for those hot bodies,
    but none are to be found in the promo.

    JERRY LYNN/THE SINISTER MINISTER/MIKEY WHIPWRECK Promo. LYNN tells HOMICIDE
    that he may have underestimated him, but HOMICIDE made the same mistake.
    LYNN says like a starving carnivore he was still stalking his prey and went
    in for the kill. WHIPWRECK comments about the brutality. MINISTER says that
    HOMICIDE is nothing more than a mall rat wannabe thug. MINISTER mocks
    HOMICIDE's intelligence and says he's in over his head. WHIPWRECK: "Hey
    HOMICIDE--- go DUCK yourself!" LYNN (evil METAL~! voice): "DUCK
    OOOOOOFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!" WHIPWRECK showcases his EVIL~! Duck and laughs
    making sure we get the joke.

    JOEY STYLES hypes the ARMY OF DARK SOULS saying that they destroyed the arm
    of SABU. STYLES says SABU needs surgery on his arm and there's no word
    when, if at all he can return (since WARGAMES is next week, I'm gonna ruin
    the surprise and say seven days)... STYLES hypes MLW HYBRID HORROR SHOW
    again mentioning the CORINO/FUNK match while going on a tirade about
    lawyers... STYLES mentions the SKY COMBAT OPEN, where launching pads will
    be involved in the matches... sounds--- odd. STYLES says the J-CUP USA
    TOURNAMENT for the MLW GLOBAL JUNIOR HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP starts next
    week (actually he said the tournament "is here next week")... unless they
    clip the hell out of WARGAMES and the pre-match interview--- I'm presuming
    we see 1 opening round match.

    STEVE WILLIAMS cuts a promo about WARGAMES and SEAN PAUL is blasting. P.J.
    FRIEDMAN bursts in and tells "Doc" that he's back. He hopes DOC is ready to
    party, because he's ready to party. The segment ends with WILLIAMS
    questioning what he's doing. How... odd.

    MLW.COM. JOEY is still at the site. Come on JOEY.

    MATCH #3: LOS MAXIMOS v. B-BOY & NOSAWA

    STYLES mentions that everyone worldwide is fearing the Spanish Fly, and
    brings up the Six Man Tag Team Match aired in WEEK #6, even noting DICK
    TOGO's foot injury from the match. We have a whole lot of posing and crowd
    reactions to start... a minute later... we have commercials.

    MLW ON TOUR! LOG ON TO www.mlw.com for ticket information.

    MLW Merchandise parties in the club for guys who don't work there. WOO! All
    hail indy merchandise!

    Another someotherwrestlingsite.com promo. I hear since VINCE doesn't want
    us to know about it, he's made it a point to make sure the evil pop-up
    demons attack you if you go there. (Aside: If you haven't thanked Mr. BOB
    RYDER for keeping AMERICA'S MOST WANTED together yet go do so.)

    We're back and it's B-BOY in the ring with JOSE (skinny). Tag to JOEL
    (fat). Side headlock, nice exchanges that end with a body scissors/rana
    style move. A second exchange leading to a flying head scissors by B-BOY
    then an enzugiri by JOEL taking B-BOY to the floor. NOSAWA then nails JOEL
    with a superkick. JOSE and NOSAWA exchange now. Dropkick to the knee, then
    a Shining Wizard by NOSAWA. JOEL in and chops NOSAWA. LOS MAXIMOS do their
    camel clutch (on NOSWAWA)/Boston Crab (on B-BOY) on top of each other spot.
    This finishes with a seated dropkick by JOEL. JOEL and B-BOY are left in
    the ring. Northern Lights Suplex gets two. Chops, punches. Ah yes...
    transitional stuck. Corner whip, JOEL kicks off, tries a 'rana but gets
    slammed into the corner. B-BOY does a killer DROPKICK into the corner as
    JOEL is slumped in the corner by the bottom turnbuckle. STYLES says he's
    never seen that before. NOSAWA tagged in and he's in the mood to BOOT the
    crap out of JOEL. Corner whip, and more boots. Cheap shot for JOSE... and
    MORE boots. STYLES calls the final one a Yakuza Kick. JOEL drops to the
    floor. NOSAWA/B-BOY toss JOEL into the first row. JOEL eats the corner ring
    post on the floor thanks to NOSAWA. Back inside, a whip is reversed and
    JOEL hits an overhead belly to belly for two. JOSE tagged in and he gets
    some kicks in. Slam, then an elbow drop for two. It's BOOT lick time as
    JOEL joins the kicking fun. Punches, whip reversed, but JOEL gets a sunset
    flip. NOSAWA--- of course rolls through and gets a seated dropkick. NOSAWA
    follows up with a killer kick to the side of the head. The fall is broken
    up at two by JOSE. B-BOY is tagged in and hits some stiff kicks for two.
    Crowd chants "You still suck" at one of California's brightest indy
    workers. Seriously, this guy is OFF the page. Chops... Fingers to the
    eyes~! Whip, and JOSE tries a sunset flip, but B-BOY blocks and just boots
    the crap out of JOSE. Tags to NOSAWA. More boots. Low blow kick by NOSAWA.
    NOSAWA goes after JOSE and gets a double leg near the corner. B-BOY/NOSAWA
    switch out. Whip by B-BOY, misses a clothesline and JOSE hits a 'rana with
    a tuck for two. B-BOY fires back with an inverted DDT for two. Covers again
    for two. Crowd chants two. DAMN YOU CANADA! JOSE hits a desperation
    enzugiri for the "both men are out" spot. NOSAWA and JOEL tagged. HOT TAG!
    Dropkick to the knee for NOSAWA... "Deep rotation on powerslam" on B-BOY by
    JOEL says STYLES. Nice chops for NOSAWA. Arm drag after running up the
    turnbuckles for NOSAWA. B-BOY tossed to the floor, suicide dive by JOSE.
    ASAI moonsault by JOEL and we have that fun indy train wreck spot. My
    friend comments that B-BOY is a horrible name. I note that B-BOY is a
    better name than "BLAZIN'" BENNIE CHONG, which was B-BOY's name in UPW for
    a while. ;-) On a side note, there's a really great B-BOY v. SUPER DRAGON
    match out there some where from MILLENIUM PRO WRESTLING (11/3/01). The
    finish sticks in my head pretty well, as SUPER DRAGON goes for a Shooting
    Star Press and B-BOY catches him with a Samoan bulldog/Diamond Cutter on
    the way down. Sadly, that wasn't the finish as B-BOY had to hit his KILLER
    KROTCH fisherman buster to get the win in 25:35... back to the match and
    inside B-BOY hits a "Modified Fisherman's Buster" on JOSE. STYLES, of
    course, doesn't note that it's the KILLER KROTCH and a finish of B-BOY's.
    JOEL compacts B-BOY for two, which NOSAWA breaks up. Michinoku Driver
    (WAGNER~!) for JOEL by NOSAWA. NOSAWA goes to the top, and JOSE crotches
    NOSAWA with a dropkick. SPANISH FLY~! time. JOSE covers NOSAWA and LOS
    MAXIMOS get the pin in 13:26 TV Time. And that's it. Random copyright
    screen. No see you next week, no nothing. Oh well.

    MATCH #3: Los Maximos d. B-Boy & Nosawa by Pinfall (13:26 TV Time) when
    Jose Maximo pinned Nosawa after "The Spanish Fly" moonsault somersault slam
    double team from the top turnbuckle.

    Grade: B+ Really solid show for MLW as the importance was put on MLW's next
    big live event without taking away from the content of the show (that is,
    there was some). Three matches lasting a total 28:14 of the time of the
    show. Plus they go introductions. That's not bad at all. The promos on the
    show didn't really do anything for the product, however LOS MAXIMO's promo
    set up their match later in the evening, which worked... The word "SKY" on
    the MLW HYBRID HORROW SHOW banner on their site looks like "SHY", how
    odd... other than that I can't complain about much. Solid wrestling show
    for an hour that built on stuff already established for the most part. The
    only downside is the fact that STYLES seems to go the JIM ROSS route of
    telling us about new wrestlers' other sports backgrounds, rather than stuff
    about their in ring style and "big moves." STYLES never noted anything
    about MANA outside his Rugby stuff and who he was trained by that involved
    wrestling. STYLES noted B-BOY's match against the SAMOAN ISLAND TRIBE, but
    never bothered to give the viewer any information about B-BOY himself. LOS
    MAXIMOS gave us more information about B-BOY in their 30 second promo than
    STYLES did the entire match. Perhaps no longer actually watching wrestling
    has hurt STYLES' ability to properly put over the workers? Or am I just
    being a cynical smark?

    Best Match: I don't know what MLW has done, but LOS MAXIMOS seem to fit
    within the company quite well and their matches always seem to gel and be
    entertaining. While nothing to put on the matches of the year reel, it was
    a solid match and a good one to watch, maybe even stay up until 4AM like
    some people who get stuck with MLW... What's sad is that outside the six
    man tags in NWA TNA, LOS MAXIMOS looked pretty weak and outclassed. In MLW,
    they seem to really shine.

    Worst Match: Nothing was outright BAD. G.I. HO was kept out of her match
    and FRANCINE didn't do anything to hurt the match as she performed within
    the context of what she normally does. MANA v. CRIADO wouldn't have
    received "best match" honors on ANY show that I've seen over the course of
    the last two weeks it wasn't bad and kept short.

    Good show. Solid effort by MAJOR LEAGUE WRESTLING.
