Rocky Romero defeats Gino Medina
NJPW’s Rocky Romero faced off with former member of the Dynasty Gino Medina in the night’s opening contest. Commentary played up Romero’s NJPW affiliation and also mentioned Tom Lawlor competing on NJPW Strong, where he has made it to the finals the New Japan Cup USA.
Romero pulled of the victory with an arm-bar. That’s two straight losses for Medina, who recently lost to Richard Holliday as well.

King MO defeats Robert Martyr
King Mo dismantled his opponent in quick fashion this week. The referee eventually called for the bell as Mo had his opponent locked in a standing guillotine.
After the match, head coach at American Top Team Dan Lambert and King Mo cut a promo on the referee and Low Ki. King Mo said at ATT they don’t tap or submit and the next time him and Low Ki face each other, he’s going to break him in half.
Court Bauer Makes An Announcement
Alicia Atout interviewed Court Bauer this week to talk about the company’s future. Bauer spoke about the new deal with Vice TV and also hinted there are other opportunities in the works as well.
Bauer revealed that the company will close out “this season” on the May 5th show in two weeks and then kickstart a new season in July. When the company returns later this summer, they will welcome back fans into the arena. Their first taping for the new season will be held at the historic 2300 Arena in Philadelphia.
Bu Ku Dao Pulls Off Big Upset
TJP turned heel by turning on his protege Bu Ku Dao recently in MLW. TJP said that Dao just wasn’t pulling his weight when the two had teamed up together. Dao would get revenge on his former mentor in this week’s main event, however. After a back-and-forth match, Dao overcame a referee bump (when he’d had TJP down for a 3 count) to hit a spinning flatliner and get the pin. What a win for Bu Ku Dao!
Hammerstone Challenges Jacob Fatu
Before the show came to a close this week, we got a snippet from a press conference with Alexander Hammerstone. Your boy Hammer said he was tired of the debate regarding who is the best between MLW’s two champions. He called out MLW World Champion Jacob Fatu for what will be a giant main event match.
“Jacob Fatu, the ball is in your court. The challenge is out there.”
