MLW Underground results & video: Sabu vs. Mikey Whipwreck

Posted on by Iain Oliver

The Big Takeaway:

  • Hints of a new faction were given as the end of the main event between Sabu and Mikey Whipwreck (with the Sinister Minister) when chaos ensued with the arrival of Christopher Daniels and Jerry Lynn.

Show Review:

We opened with a video package of new MLW World Heavyweight Champion Steve Corino and the Extreme Horsemen, highlighting their recent dominance over both the tag team and singles division. We saw CW Anderson and Simon Diamond capture the tag titles, a Horsemen beatdown on Terry Funk, and Corino capturing the title last week with a shocking upset over Mike Awesome.

Joey Styles then delved into more detail of last week’s double title switch as Awesome halted the near one year reign of Satoshi Kojima, but then Corino cashed in on a title shot with a little help from the Horsemen. 

Christopher Daniels (w/ Jerry Lynn) defeated Billy Fives (4:55 televised)

Daniels and Lynn entered to Marilyn Manson’s “Disposable Teens” — a nice change to hear some licensed entrance music. Fives seemed to be quite popular with the local audience but Styles said this was his first look at him in the ring. Fives, who still wrestles once a year after a five year stretch of no activity, played up to the fans before slapping Daniels across the face as we went to an early commercial break.

After the short break, Fives was firing up on a comeback and hit a backdrop, clothesline and a running leg lariat into a leg drop for a two count. Daniels stopped him in his tracks with a face first drop (Last Rights) to completely change the momentum. Daniels then hit the Best Moonsault Ever, but only got a two count.

Fives then came close to winning after a reverse DDT. He then hit Daniels’ own Last Rights finisher on him, but Lynn got on the apron and distracted both Fives and the ref. This gave Daniels just the right opening he needed to hit another Last Rights for a second time to pick up the win. 

After the match, Styles said Paul London challenged Lynn to a Young Lions two out of three match challenge where London must win two matches to earn his spot on the MLW roster.

**********

– We cut to the parking lot where the Extreme Horsemen’s stretch Hummmer pulled up and they disembarked, along with two bikini laden models.

– We saw footage from the closing moments of the recent Steve Corino vs. Terry Funk barbed wire match and the return of the Sandman who came to Terry Funk and Steve Williams’ aid. Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” played in full as Sandman took his time to rescue his friends. Funk was wrapped head to toe in wire and stuck in the corner of the ring while Williams was being repeatedly beat down and choked with a steel chair as Sandman drank and smoked his way through the crowd before eventually taking out the Extreme Horsemen.

– We went back to more recent footage with Williams arriving at the building and getting jumped by CW Anderson and Simon Diamond while getting out his car. They busted him open and hit him with trash cans before ramming him headfirst into a wall.

– Backstage, CM Punk ran into Simply Luscious and asked her what it feels like to be disappointed in Raven losing his focus. She looked pretty disgusted having to talk to Punk as he rambled on before asking her to think about the future and think about straight edge. Styles connected the dots for the viewers and said that Luscious has some history with someone in the locker room. Could it be Punk? Could it be Raven? Styles then recapped the Punk vs Raven feud.

– The heavyweight title rankings were back this week. Jerry Lynn remained in #10, Michael Shane was back at 9 (falling one place from last week), CM Punk dropped a spot to #8 as did La Parka at #7, Raven at #6, and Sabu at #5, Masato Tanaka jumped right in at #4, and after losing the title last week, Kojima is now #3 ranked behind both Terry Funk and Mike Awesome who are both #1.

– We heard from Homicide who told us he was locked up ten years ago and now he feels like he is locked up again…but he likes it. He is bringing some damage and ruckus to MLW.

– Awesome said that he is going for “two at Taboo” at the next set of tapings in Orlando and wants to challenge Corino to a match where the only way to win is to knock out your opponent.

– Corino had a chance to respond, but he also addressed Funk’s recent challenge. Corino said Awesome gets the first shot and Funk will need to wait his turn. Corino respects Awesome, but his stupidity led him to lose his title last week. He then told Funk that he will sign the World title contract for a match against him after he beats Awesome in Orlando at the next tapings. 

Sabu defeated Mikey Whipwreck (w/Sinister Minister) (6:06 televised)

Styles said we were going to see the rubber match between La Parka and Sabu, but it was Whipwreck who entered with a black cloak and a La Parka mask before the Sinister Minister came out and unmasked Whipwreck. Styles questioned what Whipwreck and Minister had done with the real La Parka before we just moved on to the new match.

They exchanged single leg takedowns before Whipwreck took down Sabu with an armbar. Whipwreck then connected with a dropkick before Bill Alfonso made his heroic comeback to ringside after his beating from La Parka.

Sabu locked in a camel clutch, but Whipwreck threw him to the outside. Moments later, Sabu hit the Air Sabu chair assisted plancha from the top rope into the crowd.

After a quick break, it was Whipwreck’s turn to take to the sky as he dove over the top rope onto Sabu on the outside. There was now also a table set up in the corner of the ring which Sabu used as he set Whipwreck against it and hit a chair assisted leg lariat to put Whipwreick through it. A triple jump legdrop was followed by a chair assisted camel clutch, given Sabu the submission win.

After the match, Sinister Minister went face to face with Alfonso, but Sabu came to his manager’s aid and pulled out a spike. Before he could use it, Sabu was jumped by Daniels and Lynn. Whipwreck, Minister, Daniels and Lynn then left together as MLW Underground went off the air.

MLW Underground video & results: Rhodes-Funk-Corino deathmatch

Posted on by Iain Oliver

The Big Takeaways:

  • The MLW Global Crown Tag Team Championship tournament continued as “Dr. Death” & PJ Friedman and The Extreme Horsemen advanced to the finals. 
  • We had an MLW World title match between Satoshi Kojima and Mitsuya Nagai.
  • We also saw the birth of the Extreme Horsemen as Steve Corino met Dusty Rhodes and Terry Funk in a three-way Florida deathmatch. 

Show Review:

We opened with a pre-tape from earlier in the day as Steve Corino pulled up to the building in his fancy car and talked about how the Extreme Horsemen are higher class while Terry Funk is white trash. He compared cars, houses, and their day-to-day lives. Everything with Corino was higher class and he said he had hit Funk’s achievements (ECW champion and NWA champion), but, of course, he won those titles quicker than Funk. He said the fans will be seeing violence, but not at his expense…but at Funk’s.

Joey Styles welcomed us to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, and ran down the recent events between both LA Parka and Sabu and Vampiro and Raven, and that we will be seeing the Extreme Horsemen in action later on.

In another pre-tape from earlier in the week, we went outside the dojo of “Dr Death” Steve Williams where PJ Friedman told the cameraman to come back next week to see how they are preparing for the tag tournament.

“Dr. Death” Steve Williams & PJ Friedman defeated Jimmy Yang & Mike Sanders to advance to the MLW Global Crown Tag Team Title tournament finals (07:32)

This was quite the standard tag team match until Williams made the pinfall save for his partner and then absolutely destroyed Sanders with a powerbomb. From there, the match spilled to the outside where Williams dropped Sanders through a table.

Sanders briefly fired up after a commercial break as we had a glitch in the continuity timeline as we were told that EZ Money and Julio Dinero had made it to the tourney finals without seeing any of their matches yet. Yang continued their team’s comeback as he hit a springboard top rope corkscrew for a close two count. Friedman crotched Yang on the top rope and tagged in Williams who used his strength to overcome Sanders with a doctor bomb and then Yang with a backdrop driver to pick up the win.

With this win, Williams and Friedman also had advanced to the finals of the tournament.

**********

– Styles hyped up the debut of CM Punk, calling for us to watch out for his Pepsi Plunge from the top rope.

– Next up was the Samoan Island Tribe who said that they might not be the most electrifying men in sports entertainment, but they are the power source. They are coming to kick butt, and if you smell something stinking, it’s them, because they are the sh*t.

– MLW World Champion Satoshi Kojima cut a subtitled promo in Japanese, letting us know that Mike Awesome, Mr. Gannosuke Nagai, Shinjiro Otani, Vampiro, and Taiyo Kea are all on notice because he is the most fighting world champion ever.

MLW World Champion Satoshi Kojima defeated Mitsuya Nagai to retain the title

This was filmed in All Japan Pro Wrestling and was a highlight package, complete with 90s style high tempo video game theme music playing throughout. The match reminded me of a modern-day strong style match with a lot of knees, head drops, pop-up no sells, high angled suplexes, and of course, Kojima’s famous lariat for the win.

The champion was bleeding from the ear after the match but was able to get to his feet and take in the applause from the AJPW crowd. This brought the “Koji count” to 2-0 as we learned that Kojimania was running wild in the USA, established in 2003.

**********

– Styles brought us back up to speed with the goings-on between Raven and Vampiro: Raven wants Vampiro, Vampiro has a title shot against Kojima and whatever the outcome, Vampiro will address Raven at the next set of tapings. Give them their due: MLW certainly knew how to hype up their next big show as “Friday night, May 9th at Taboo in Orlando, Florida” must have been mentioned at least ten times throughout the show.

**********

The Extreme Horsemen (Simon Diamond & CW Anderson) defeated Los Maximos to advance to the MLW Global Crown Tag Team Title tournament finals (6:19)

There were no entrances for this one as we jumped right into the start of the match with Diamond and Jose. They exchanged some nice test of strength monkey flips out of the corners and quick-fire arm drags as we were told the Samoans have been calling out Los Maximos recently, so they better be looking over their shoulders.

Back from the break, Anderson planted Jose on his head with a german suplex. He then hit a great delayed vertical suplex from the middle rope for a close two count. It was here that the earlier mentions of Dinero and Money being in the finals made sense as the finals were a triangle tag team match also featuring Williams and Friedman and the winners of this match.

Los Maximos fired up after the hot tag. Joel ran wild and hit Anderson with a german suplex, Diamond with an enzuigiri and a big moonsault off the top rope, before planting Anderson on his head for a close two count.

Diamond hit a series of suplexes and a Falcon Arrow for a two count of his own as the match began to break down into a four-way. After another cut in action, the Extreme Horsemen came close to winning after a slingshot and superkick combination. Moments later, Anderson caught Jose coming off the top and planted him with a spinebuster to pick up the win and advance to the finals.

**********

Before our main event, we heard from Dusty Rhodes in a backstage promo. He said he didn’t like any of the Funks: Dory, Papa, Terry, or mother Funk. He called Corino a pumpkin head and a walking contradiction of pro wrestling. For those paying attention, they would have spotted a few lines from this promo that made their way into the opening credits of the MLW opening montage.

Before Styles insulted Triple H by saying Kojima wasn’t a paper champion and didn’t get the belt handed to him by a general manager or because he was sleeping with his boss’ daughter, Styles was hyping up more matches for, you guessed it, Friday night, May 9th at Taboo in Orlando as we cut to outside the building where Los Maximos had been attacked by some mystery men.

We then heard from Mike Awesome who promised us he will be the next MLW Champion and also that he was going to powerbomb Masato Tanaka over the top rope and right through a table on Friday night, May…alright, you know when and where.

Steve Corino defeated Dusty Rhodes and Terry Funk in a three-way Florida deathmatch (13:07)

Funk and Corino were on the same page early on as they took turns going one-on-one with Rhodes but eventually used their numbers advantage and a trashcan to get the legend down on the mat. However, their alliance was short-lived as Funk turned his back on the youngster and clobbered him with the trashcan as well.

A brawl outside the ring included Rhodes exposing Funk’s backside (to the horror of both Styles on commentary and the live audience), a steel chair that did the rounds with everyone taking turns, and a few bionic elbows for good measure.

Inside the ring, Rhodes hit Funk with a shovel, but, moments later, took the handle to the groin as he was jabbing Corino. To make matters worse, Funk drove the shovel into Corino’s throat and on the outside, he slipped off the guardrail and caught his leg between the rungs.

As Rhodes was hitting Corino with some more bionic elbows, Anderson and Diamond interfered and took out Rhodes’ ankle with a steel chair. Rhodes was taken to the back leaving Funk on his own against Corino, Anderson, and Diamond.

Being the underdog lit a brief fire in Funk as he ran wild and waffled them all with another trashcan. The numbers game eventually caught up as Corino floored him with a DDT. The referee refused to count the pin due to the interference, so Corino gave him a DDT, too. Replacement referee Jon Finnegan eventually made the count and declared Corino the victor. 

Underground closed with a promo from Raven talking about Vampiro. He thought he was jealous and maybe it is time for the protege to step up and beat the master. He warned Vampiro not to antagonize him and said they would end up in Raven’s Clockwork Orange House of Fun.

MLW Anthology results & video: The Extreme Horsemen

Posted on by Iain Oliver

The Big Takeaway:

MLW returned to its roots with this week’s Anthology focusing on Steve Corino and the Extreme Horsemen. Corino battled Dusty Rhodes and Terry Funk in a three way Florida Death Match that saw the debut of the Extreme Horsemen after the bloody battle. The Horsemen then entered the two ring, double cage War Games match when they took on Funk and his Funkin’ Army. 

Show Review:

Steve Corino defeated Dusty Rhodes and Terry Funk in a three-way Florida Death Match (13:07)
War Memorial Auditorium | Ft. Lauderdale, FL | December 2002

Funk and Corino were on the same page early as they took turns going one-on-one with Rhodes, eventually using their numbers advantage and a trash can to get the legend down on the mat. However, their alliance was short lived as Funk turned his back on Corino and clobbered him with the trash can.

As Rhodes was hitting Corino with some more bionic elbows, CW Anderson and Simon Diamond interfered and took out Rhodes’ ankle with a steel chair. Rhodes was taken to the back so it left Funk on his own against Corino, Anderson, and Diamond.

Being the underdog lit a fire in Funk as he ran wild and waffled all three men with another trash can. The numbers game eventually caught up with Funk, however, as Corino floored him with a DDT. The referee refused to count the pin due to the interference so Corino gave him a DDT, too. Replacement referee Jon Finegan eventually made the count and declared Corino the victor. 

The Funkin’ Army (Terry Funk, Sandman, “Dr. Death” Steve Williams, Sabu & Bill Alfonso) defeated The Extreme Horsemen (Steve Corino, Barry Windham, CW Anderson, Simon Diamond & PJ Walker) (20:16)

War Memorial Auditorium | Ft. Lauderdale, FL | September 2002

Anderson and Sandman were out first for their respective teams. We got the full Metallica “Enter Sandman” entrance which was a delight to see and hear unedited. In a smart piece of booking, we not only got to see Sandman make the entrance at his own pace but since the entrants were only two minutes apart, the action never lagged and no one was exposed in the ring for too long.

Then-MLW World Champion Corino was third out and interestingly announced as “The King of Kings” which sounds familiar. Corino had barbed wire wrapped around his fist and, of course, he took the wire to Sandman’s forehead, busting him open more than his Budweiser can did during his entrance. They harkened back to ECW with a caning spot as Anderson held Sandman and draped him between the two rings set up for the match.

Funk was out next to even the sides, throwing a chair into the ring from the elevated entrance stage and immediately going straight for Corino to continue their ongoing war. We were told Funk had an upcoming title shot and chose a dog collar match for the stipulation. Funk dragged Corino from one ring to the other and dropped the champion with a piledriver.

The Horsemen got the upper hand when Simon Diamond entered to make it 3-2 in their favor. Both Global Crown Tag Team Champions (MLW’s first name for the belts) were now in the ring as Diamond took a chair to Funk while Anderson ran Sandman’s face against the steel fence.

Steve Williams was next out to even the score as we were told this was the last member of Funk’s team. Jerry Lawler was originally supposed to be in the match but “the evil McEmpire” pulled him out according to Styles. Funk had agreed to take the match even though they were two men short as Barry Windham had been recently added to the Horsemen team.

PJ Walker (Justin Credible) brought a ladder out as he gave the Horsemen a 4-3 advantage. He and Anderson whipped Sandman into the ladder as Funk seesawed between the ropes as Corino fired off right hands. But moments later, the crazy Funk did his signature airplane spin ladder spot, taking out some of the Horsemen in the process.

Windham was supposed to come in next, but Sabu made a surprise return and ran wild, evening the odds and bringing Funk’s team back into the match. Sabu’s left arm was heavily taped up and did not look fully healed from the injury that had previously kept him out of action.

Windham was out next and the Horsemen’s bounty hunter took out all members of Funk’s team. However Bill Alfonso, who came out with Sabu, got on the mic to declare the uneven teams were bullsh*t and he became the fifth member of Funk’s team.

Sabu came off the top rope and put Walker through a table with a legdrop. Funk then brought a flaming branding iron into the ring, branded Corino across the back, and spat fire into his eyes. He then locked in his famous spinning toehold to make Corino give up, winning the match for his team. 

**********

– Josef Samael told us in a propaganda video that he and CONTRA will abuse their power and spread their evil message throughout the world.

– It was then time for Pulp Fusion, the weekly video update on the current stars of MLW:

  • Low Ki and King Mo continued their war of words, only Ki was talking in Japanese and Mo was gloating he had beat him so bad he had knocked him loopy. 
  • Mance Warner was on the phone to “Dirty” Dutch Mantel trying to book a bear to fight him in his triple cage.
  • The Parks were working out with sledgehammers and tractor tires while the Von Erichs were working on their grip strength with some rope and squeezing apples. 
  • “Filthy” Tom Lawlor was debating the legitimacy of the Von Erichs whereabouts, saying they were in front of green screens all the time. He was stressing out and said he didn’t need this before his big trip as he wiped his brow with what looked very similar to a New Japan Pro Wrestling scarf.
  • Myron Reed told us to open our minds and vibe with him as he is dropping an album soon called “BANGers 4Ever”. 
  • Konnan asked where Salina had been all this time. He said she was not on his level and told her the devil knows more because of his age, not because he is the devil. 
  • Hammerstone was playing his guitar before he drank some of his own special Dynastic coffee brew that made him work out like a mad man. 
  • Logan Creed has been unleashed. From where? I have no idea. 
  • Salina de La Renta finished the montage by telling us all she knows we want it, she knows we need it, and said everyone is asking her where she has been when everyone should be asking, “What has she done?”

Wrestling Weekly: Briscos vs. Funks, the mailbag, much more

Posted on by Victor Sosa

Les Thatcher and Vic Sosa are back with some thoughts on Jack Brisco, the Briscos vs. the Funks, and lots of your mailbag questions on this edition of Wrestling Weekly!

Former NWA World Champion Jack Brisco would’ve turned 75 this week, so we take the opportunity to reminisce a bit about him. That conversation segues into the Briscos vs. the Funks as well as some thoughts on Terry Funk’s dedication causing people to be worried about him last weekend.

Then we’ll open up the mailbag to answer your questions regarding the WWE cruiserweight division debuting on Raw last Monday without the cruiserweight champion (19:46), how a good wrestling card should be put together (30:00), the best way to make the current WWE brand split work (37:53), the power of the promo (45:38), and whether or not you can be a star in 2016 without great cardio conditioning (51:23).

Thanks for listening and have a great weekend~!

Terry Funk alive and well in Texas after an exhausting weekend

Posted on by Dave Meltzer

Photo (and full album) by Earl Gardner

Terry Funk is alive, fine, and back home in Texas.

After making a speech on Saturday night at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia where he said he didn’t want to leave the ring (seen below) because it may be for the last time, the wrestling world was concerned about him. He noted after getting home that his daughter called up and jokingly asked him if he was dead because of all the stories.

Funk underwent surgery for an inguinal hernia on September 12th, and was supposed to be resting and in bed for a couple of weeks. But he didn’t want to miss his bookings for Tommy Dreamer’s House of Hardcore shows on September 16th in St. James, NY, and September 17th in Philadelphia, so he got up at 4 a.m. on Friday, flew into LaGuardia Airport and appeared at the NY show.

After the show, he drove to Philadelphia, getting to sleep at about 4 a.m. that night.

He signed autographs all day at the convention in Philadelphia and was exhausted by the time it came to the Philly show that night. He was supposed to be in Dreamer’s corner for the main event against Matt Hardy, flanked by Senor Benjamin. Obviously, that would lead to a physical spot, and given he was coming off surgery, that would have been a bad idea.

He asked Dreamer if he could leave early as by that time he was exhausted. So, they did the interview segment early in the show and he caught a flight home.

There were reports he wasn’t feeling well, which had to do with the exhaustion and the fact he wasn’t physically ready for travel, but he didn’t want to miss a booking for Dreamer.

Funk joked that he’s got another appointment with his doctor in ten days to see if he could be cleared to get out of the house with the doctors having no idea he flew and traveled all weekend.

Wrestling Weekly: WWE CWC, Dory & Terry, Booking Roman

Posted on by Victor Sosa

Les and Vic start the show with a bit on the WWE Draft, as Les is unfamiliar with one particular call-up from NXT. We’ll transition into this week’s Cruiserweight Classic (11:13) episode on the WWE Network and why Akira Tozawa vs. Kenneth Johnson may not have been the best match on the show, but was the best thing on the show by far in Vic’s eyes. 

From there, a few minutes on Dick Steinborn, (27:47) one of the better wrestlers from back in the day you may not have heard of, and where you can find some of his work, as well as a sitdown Les had years ago with Terry and Dory Funk Jr. (34:05) that Les hopes to make available to everyone in the near future. 

After that, we open the mailbag to answer your questions on guys no showing events they were booked on back in the day (38:25), how to book Roman Reigns moving forward as he returns from suspension (43:30), training women and whether or not Les dealt with any issues with WWE about their look (53:52), and the latest concussion based lawsuit as well as Jonathan Coachman’s defense of Vince McMahon the other day (65:31). 

Thanks for listening and have a great weekend~!
