MLW Fusion Preview 2/8/19

A new era is underway in Major League Wrestling! Join the renegades of professional wrestling from South Philadelphia at the historic 2300 Arena for an episode of Fusion that will have a shocking goodbye, a few hellos and top ranked wrestlers from around the world.

For months Brian Pillman Jr. has been as he says, “shattering the illusion of the false legends” only for Tommy Dreamer to take exception to Pillman’s disrespect for the sport and its legends.  Tonight the final chapter is written in the Pillman-Dreamer war as both men select a mystery partner in a showdown in South Philadelphia’s hallowed grounds known as the 2300 Arena.

There are reports that the new World Heavyweight Champion “Filthy” Tom Lawlor has been partying all week coast to coast with the belt. Will we possibly see a glimpse of the new champ on the show?

Konnan will make his return after recovering from the brutal ending to the December World Championship title fight in Miami! What’s on the mind of the Lucha Bros. consigliere?  Speaking of the Lucha Bros….

Pentagon Jr. & Rey Fenix say goodbye?

  • Mystery Tag Team Match: Brian Pillman Jr. & ? vs. Tommy Dreamer & ?
  • Puma King vs. Gringo Loco
