We’re closing in on Heroes Inmoretales and the card hasn’t even started to come together. That’s going to need some work and there is a good chance we could see it start here. If nothing else, it would be nice to get back to a regular show now that we’re well clear of TripleMania. Let’s get to it.

Here are last week’s results if you need a recap.

Here is El Grande Americano for the first time as Mega Champion. Americano talks about making history together and he has a big announcement but here is El Ojo to interrupt. Dorian Roldan is here on behalf of his family and wants to talk to Rey Mysterio right now. Cue Rey, who says we can finally have a Mega Champion to be proud of around here. Roldan brings up Rey making a fast count at TripleMania and not being the assigned referee.

Rey says he is the General Manager but Roldan wants the decision reversed and the title returned to Dominik. Americano interrupts and wants a tag match against El Ojo tonight. He’ll sweeten the pot too: if El Ojo wins, Dominik gets a title shot at Heroes Inmoretales, but if they lose, Dominik never gets another shot at Americano. Game on.

Last week, Mr. Iguana challenge La Parka for the Latin American Title.

Latin American Title: Mr. Iguana vs. La Parka

Parka is defending. They shake hands to start and feel each other out to start, with Parka pulling him into a quickly broken surfboard. More grappling lets Iguana get two off a rollup so Parka flips away from him. Back up and Iguana gets in a running dropkick so Parka kicks him to the floor. Naturally that means a suicide dive but Iguana is right back with a running hurricanrana off of the steps.

Iguana grabs a cross armbreaker back inside, which doesn’t last long either. They head outside again where Iguana goes for the title but Parka one ups him by going for Yesca. That means a big exchange of chops on the floor, followed by the exchange of forearms back inside. A crucifix driver gets two on Parka but he catches Iguana on top with a super Spanish Fly. They clothesline each other down…and Los Perros del Mal run in to jump both of them for the double DQ at 9:24.

Rating: B-. As usual there were some good spots in here with Iguana showing that he is more than just a guy who does weird things. At the same time, it’s WAY too early for Parka to lose the title, even to someone like Iguana. I’m assuming the two of them will get together to fight Los Perros and that could be interesting.

Post match the beatdown is on Nino Hamburguesa runs in for the save.

El Grande Americano/Rey Mysterio vs. El Ojo

Rey and Dominik start things off and take their sweet time before locking up. An early sunset flip gives Rey two and he faceplants Dominik. Americano comes in for a PK and then the ten punches in the corner. A running kick to the face staggers Dominik and unfortunately it’s off to Omos to elbow Americano into the corner. Somehow Americano manages a triangle choke over the ropes, with Dominik quickly breaking it up.

Back in and Americano gets beaten down by the villains, including Omos cranking on the arms (JBL: “What’s he going to do? Tap out with his eyebrows?”). That’s broken up so Dominik gets in a cheap shot from the apron, only for Omos to miss an elbow. Rey comes back in and JBL knows what it means when Rey gets momentum going. The double 619 is loaded up but Americano has to save Rey from a chokeslam.

That means Omos’ arms are tied in the ropes but Dominik is back in. Americano gives him a rope walk Blockbuster so Omos splashes Americano against the post. Some 619s stagger Omos though and Rey springboard seated sentons him through the announcers’ table (with JBL talking about how glad he is that it’s the Spanish announce table, even in Mexico). Back up and Dominik pulls Rey’s mask off, followed by a belt shot to Americano for the pin at 12:20.

Rating: B. This was exactly what it needed to be, with the result setting up pretty much the only viable option for the title shot. Dominik getting one more crack at Americano makes sense, and having Dominik take out both heroes pretty much on his own in the end helped. Omos was his usual impressive monster self here and it went about as well as could be expected.

Post match Dominik poses with the mask and the title to end the show.

Overall Rating: B-. This is just kind of how AAA TV works, with only one or two stories throughout the show and they take their time getting to them. The good thing is that we have a Heroes Inmortales main event, plus some other things being set up. As usual, it really helps that the show is only about an hour long so they don’t overstay their welcome. Couple that with getting things done and this is still one of the easiest shows to watch every week.

Fusion #109
Date: May 9, 2020
Location: Auditorio de Tijuana, Tijuana, Mexico
Commentators: Rich Bocchini, AJ Kirsch

We’ll wrap it up here as MLW is out of original content after tonight. I’m not sure what to expect here, but the best thing is that LA Park will be in the ring tonight. I remember him back in WCW over twenty years ago and last week had me laughing more than once. It took some time but he’s one of the best things going at the moment. He just might not be around for awhile. Let’s get to it.

Here are last week’s results if you need a recap.

Psycho Clown is ready to bring the rest of his clowns to take out the Parks.

Opening sequence.

The announcers preview the show.

The Parks want the Tag Team Titles.

Konnan is happy with the Super Series and now they want a rematch on MLW’s court.

Dan Lambert wants Low Ki to undergo a psychiatric evaluation.

Pagano wants to change lucha libre. Every party needs a clown.

The Dynasty is in Bucksnort, Tennessee and the smell has ruined Richard Holliday’s coffee. Gino Medina brings up meth gators but they realize that Hammerstone is gone. Hammerstone pops up and is AMAZED that there are raccoons over here. Holliday needs out of here now.

Here’s the Top Ten:

10. Dominic Garrini

9. Low Ki

8. Mance Warner

7. King Mo

6. Richard Holliday

5. Tom Lawlor

4. Brian Pillman Jr.

3. Myron Reed

2. Davey Boy Smith Jr.

1. Alexander Hammerstone

We look back at the Dynasty buying Savio Vega’s childhood home and naming himself Richie Two Titles.

Mance Warner has been drinking and thinking about climbing the ladder of success. Not in a ladder match, but there will be ladders involved. It needs to be Warner/Savio Vega vs. the Dynasty with the titles, the house and Gino Medina’s gold watch above the ring. It’s going to be a Triple Tower of Doom match, with a caged ring on the bottom, with a bunch of weapons included. Above that, we have a cage with light tubes and barbed wire because red equals green. Then at the very top is all the gold. It’ll be two on three, but maybe he can call up Big Sexy, Glacier or PN NEWS!

We recap the Super Series, with MLW up 4-3 going into the final match.

Los Parks vs. Nino de Hamburguesa/Nicho El Millionairio/Psycho Clown

The Parks are representing MLW and Nicho is better known as Psicosis. Psycho Clown and Park’s sons are wearing unidentified titles. The Parks start the fight in a hurry and the beating is on. Park Jr. hits Nino in the head as Park and Clown fight into the crowd. Hijo and Nicho are inside as well with the skeletons hammering away with some chairs.

A bar table is thrown in and Nino is knocked through a regular table at ringside. Park and Clown are back and a bar table to Clown’s face puts him down. A middle rope triple bomb has Nino bouncing off the bar table and the skeletons are dominating. We need some more weapons so it’s time for a trashcan and a crate of beer bottles. The Clown gets hit in the head with the crate and Nino gets suplexed onto the trashcan.

Nino loses his shirt and gets whipped with a belt, followed by some chops to the rather large chest and stomach. He finally runs the Parks over with a shoulder and it’s Clown taking LA Park into the crowd for a beating with chairs. The sons are beaten down with chairs inside as well, including a low blow to Park Jr. Clown and company run in a circle around the ring as Park is back in. He stares down all three of them at once and we actually get down into a regular tag format. Sure why not after the ten minute brawl.

A right hand drops Clown but everything breaks down again, with the Parks all being knocked down. Nino hits a big triple splash and Clown grabs a sloppy victory roll for two on Park. Park gets sent head first into Hijo’s crotch and Nicho hits a triple Bronco Buster. Nino adds a triple Cannonball and it’s a triple rollup for two each on the Parks. Nicho is left alone for a Downward Spiral on Hijo for a near fall so Hijo pops back up for a Superman punch. A Codebreaker out of the corner rocks Nicho and Park Jr. superkicks Nino.

Back up and Nino drops a leg on Park Jr. so Park kicks the referee to break up the count. We get another Park vs. Clown showdown so they can chop and clothesline it out. Park gets the better of it until Nicho comes in to chop Park in the back. A spinwheel kick drops Park for two but he pops up and tells Nicho to hit him. There’s another spinwheel kick to put Park outside, setting up a suicide dive.

Clown hits a big flip dive onto Park, Park Jr. and Nicho. Hijo adds an Asai moonsault so Nino dives….onto his own partners by mistake. Back in and a German suplex drops Nicho for a ridiculously delayed two (the referee couldn’t have been more out of position if he tried). Cue Pagano with a chair to take out the Parks but the referee gets rid of him. Park spears Nicho down for the pin at 22:04.

Rating: C. This went on for a long time and while it could have been cut down, I was never bored and there were some entertaining spots. I wouldn’t have bet on Park being someone so fun to watch but he has grown on me a lot in recent months. This felt like a huge match and while it probably felt bigger in Mexico, it worked well here.

MLW – 5

AAA – 3

That’s the final score of the series and I’m sure they’ll do this again.

Contra hacks the feed and we see a bloody Davey Boy Smith Jr. down with a Contra flag draped over him. Tonight, the war is waged. He has promised a reckoning for over a year and tonight it is taking place. Josef Samael is at MLW Headquarters in New York where he is now sitting on the throne. We see wrestlers and executives being attacked and laid out as Samael says the rise of MLW is over. Contra has seized the company and if you try to rise up, the soldiers will have a violent response. So there’s your angle for why there are no more shows for the time being.

Overall Rating: C+. The match itself was fine and then the big angle at the end of the show made it better. This was definitely more like a season finale and I’m not sure when we will be seeing more of the standard MLW shows. It’s a shame that they went out on such an intriguing note, but well done for setting up a cliffhanger for their return.
