MLW Fusion Preview 4/14/22

Major League Wrestling FUSION tonight at 8pm ET features a 4-way for the National Openweight Championship, streaming worldwide for free on MLW’s YouTube channel and Saturday nationwide on cable and dish on beIN SPORTS. 

  • National Openweight Championship: Alex Kane (champion) vs. ACH vs. Myron Reed vs. Puma King
  • Shazza McKenzie vs. Holidead
  • TJP vs. Matt Cross

Approaching the half year milestone for his reign as the National Openweight Champion, Alex Kane has demanded challengers with a variety of fighting styles step up and challenge him for the championship. Tonight Kane gets exactly that as grapplers with diverse fighting styles step up to knock off the champ and take his belt.

The high risk, high reward high-flying Myron Reed looks to become a double champion and add gold to his World Middleweight Championship reign. 

But what about the unpredictable and unorthodox lucha libre fighting style? Puma King looks to pounce the champ and bring gold back to Mexico as the first Mexican to hold the National Openweight Championship.

Last but not least, the technical finesse of ACH could overwhelm Kane’s explosive suplexes if ACH dictate the speed of the title fight.

Shockingly, “The Suplex Assassin” is not happy. He has demanded even MORE competitors step up for tonight’s title bout. Not only does he want to prove his hybrid wrestling technique is beyond all on the roster, but he wants fighters from different weight classes to make their move… but will a fourth challenger enter the fray? Tune in to find out.

MLW Reportedly Fires The LA Park Family After In-Ring Incident

The LA Park family is reportedly done in MLW.

A new report from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter notes that there was heat on LA Park in MLW over something that happened in the past, which wasn’t made clear, while at the same time Park has a reputation that comes from being difficult to deal with. However, Park is a legend and MLW kept using him because he was a star who always got over.

That all changed and they are now done with the company after an incident during WrestleMania Weekend in Texas. The Park family was scheduled to do a post-match run-in at the MLW Intimidation Games taping on Thursday, March 31, to set up Jacob Fatu vs. Park, but The Parks got very rough with Fatu, according to the report. MLW World Heavyweight Champion Alex Hammerstone was part of the run-in and was bleeding from the side of the head, and he and Park exchanged punches. The Intimidation Games main event saw Hammerstone retain over Fatu and Mads Krugger, before the run-in.

It was noted by one source that The Parks went off-script, ruined the post-match angle and went into business for themselves, delivering real strikes to Fatu and Hammerstone, including reckless chair shots, which busted open both Fatu and Hammerstone.

Hammerstone and Fatu both needed medical attention after the incident, but both will be OK.

MLW owner Court Bauer reportedly fired all three family members – LA Park, LA Park Jr. and El Hijo de LA Park. They were all sent home on Friday, April 1. This led to changes on MLW’s Azteca Underground taping on April 1, where Fatu defeated Bestia 666 in the Azteca Apocalypto main event instead of Park.

It was noted that Hammerstone was yelling at Park when they returned to the backstage area, telling him “to go right now.” Park reportedly acted as if he didn’t understand English.

The veteran LA Park began working with MLW in 2018, but also worked for the original MLW in 2002 and 2003. He and his son, El Hijo de LA Park, who also began with MLW in 2018, held the MLW World Tag Team Titles for 297 days in 2021. The youngest, Park Jr., began with MLW in 2020 but has just a few matches on the books, including the title loss under Freebird Rules.
