september 11th in dallas mlwtickets.com and mlw fight land in philadelphia october 2nd tickets at mlw2300.com philadelphia are you ready to riot are you ready for the battle riot a boisterous sold-out crowd here tonight in philadelphia the historic 2300 arena as the hunt begins battle riots 20-21 the winner punches a ticket for a world title shot anytime anywhere against whoever the champion is saint laurent i understand that davey richards who's busy at a st louis fight camp focused on crosstraining to prepare him for this matchup here tonight yeah and he looks physically prepared for sure but it's so tough to prepare for such a unique match rich 40 men no gq anything goes pinfall submission or over the top ropes i don't know how unless you've been in a battle riot before how you truly can prepare for a match of this nature davey richards the number one entrance into this matchup now he's been a champion everywhere he's been but the challenge in front of him tonight is gonna be a monumental task well yeah especially if it's your first battle riot you've never been in this kind of environment and then to have to be number one to potentially have to go through 39 men all the way to the end but what an amazing thing that would be for davey richards if he walked out of the 2300 arena tonight with a guaranteed shot at the heavyweight championship of the [Music] lawler is so world [Music] filthy tom the winner of the first ever battle ryan and he parlayed that into the mlw world heavyweight championship tonight drawing number two oh i mentioned just moments ago how tough it's gotta be to draw number one or number two really the same thing but i think with the experience that tom waller has had already winning a battle right he looks confident sure when he picked his number he didn't look thrilled why would you be phil rich but i think he'll be okay i think tom waller has what it takes to go very late in this match if not win the whole thing he's been heavyweight champion of the world he's won the battle right and he just won the 2020 opera cup todd waller perhaps one of the most versatile athletes we've ever had here in major league wrestling [Music] some unique ring attire that lawler's wearing here tonight he took it off he's prepared that was just to keep his thighs warm [Applause] davey richards across the river you see him shaking his head like come on so here we go we are underway battle riot 3 the 2021 edition the new entrant comes out every 60 seconds and it is lawler in richards up here to start things off and again you mentioned it it is pinfall submission or over the top rope so certainly have to uh once you get a lot of other competitors out there but tom wasting no time going for submission rear naked choke here he's gonna say you're gonna you really have to keep your eyes in all directions is now richard's going for the ankle lock and waller trying to uh shimmy his way out of it now that's not a bad strategy here try to make your opponent tap out early on take another 30 seconds to rest up or so right yeah and i think also if you are an early entrant in a battle riot you want to keep the ring as clear as you can because once it starts to get to the point where there's nine ten men it's really tough to survive that kind of situation and i think that's why you're seeing so many early submission attempts here from both competitors davey richards trying to get it locked in here stf yeah come on now waller found one way out and richard's going back into the ankle lock and let's see who the number three entrant is [Applause] tjp draws number three world travel veteran has done it all everywhere coming in at number three and we still have david richards his back is richards cranking in the ankle lock again here comes lawler going for submission and that's one of the things early on in a match like this that was an opportunity where lawler could have rested but he couldn't resist going for a rear naked choke on richards djp was able to get free and now he and lawler taking turns stomping away and davey richard to the corner you will see alliance's form sometimes unlikely alliances in a match like this but usually they don't last long rich every 60 seconds the match the dynamic of the match changes so much lawler and tjp certainly uh both controversial in their own rights trying to do a number on davey richards did we get entrance number four it's tiger style lee moriarty his mlw debut this young man is ow crossbody thereof he's got the whole wrestling world talking lee moriarty has been building a lot of buzz lately and to make your mlw debut in the battle ryan what a huge stage here as he leaps over with that x factor now plants at t.j.p mori already tried to put it away no but anybody been going for cover indeed he does only but now that we have more bodies in the ring these submissions are so risky as stevie richards is able to cut off tjp and go right back to that angle as davey richards has been so tenacious in this match rich waller refusing to give in tjp able to kick richards away and now moriarty wait a minute here he talked about those alliances doesn't look like there's gonna be one formed here well maybe so entrant number five on the way one of the bottoms who's it gonna be [Music] oh come on i can't believe it it's rip von erick my favorite von eric ripfied eric i don't know why the screen said kit osbourne that's rip on there this guy's a fraud he's not the cousin of ross and marshall just like lance vaughn eric complete broad and davey richards now craig's at uh lawler's left leg kid osbourne or lance von erickard ripped on eric stop it away tjp and uh saint laurent you mentioned it once you get more competitors in the ring it certainly does change the dynamic does it yeah for i mean for more reasons than we could ever lift a list is we have a nice wishbone there for moriarty and davey but you also think about we saw so many submissions early but how are you gonna find a chance for a submission where you don't just get attacked from behind when there's that many opponents in the ring now as we see some more teamwork here for moriarty and davey richards and so far the alliance between the two of them has been very successful see if that keeps up entering number six [Music] right on the top of the score what a dangerous suplex there from king mo has held mma championships all over the world and now he's in the battle ryan king mo reddy he wants a shot at that mlw world heavyweight title what's lawler good in mind here richards has to be careful that his shoulders aren't pinned to the mat pinfall submission or over the top rope no no no no no davey richards trying that number one spot has already taken tons of punishment hasn't he you look at the submission expertise you have in the ring between tom waller and king mo both so accomplished in mixed martial arts and now at number seven [Music] the 355 pound colossus calvin take it he's since debuting a breakout star here at mlw heavyweight hustle one of the most impressive big men we have ever seen in the sport of professional wrestling and he shrugs off that bicycle kick like it's nothing oh moriarty into the ropes popped up in a big spinning back elbow boy puts the fear of god into you yeah it's gonna be a big challenge to get calvin tankman off his feet gonna take several men to try to do it and tank been wasting no time going after richard's in the corner richards laying the kicks into the chin for no answers with a big cross chop and i think davey richards has got one of the strongest kicks i've ever seen in pro wrestling and calvin took them like they were nothing richards hanging on to the top rope has taken trying to dump him over entrance number eight is they call the master of strange style and uh oh if you've ever seen him in action before but do you talk about lucha style reversals all sorts of stuff that'll make your head spin st laurent well he's been in the match for just a few seconds and he's already landed with four super kicks look out moriarty oh planted a number of bodies outside the ring i think they're all just catching a breather perhaps maybe a smart strategy they were not dumped out over the top you see uh king moan uh rip von eric and ernest now with the deep arm drag tjp over the middle rope so he's still safe i get clocked with a drop kick there now aired us again [Music] extends the handshake to richardson probably not the thing you want to do not a match like this backslide cover and a two count entrant number nine as the action continues in the ring tjp [Applause] trying to clear things out ernest now trying to get to his feet has a lot of experience down in mexico [Applause] and he's getting the better of heiress here grievous had a lot of success like down there like i've mentioned oh big into geary [Applause] the crowd here in philadelphia here the chanting gringo logo what's he got right here my god and tjp knows a thing or two about lucha libre gringo loco showing some impressive strength and the elevator just dropped 30 floors covered no logo to the top [Applause] surprised he didn't go for the cover the match like this maybe you always think over the top rope and he almost completely clipped the ring as he goes for a cover he gets the two count that's almost something you gotta keep in the back of your head you can't get a convert a match like this you can't get a submission it's not just over the top rule and number ten is zen shu has held multiple championships throughout south america springboarded but calvin take been able to move out of the way and a double kick from zen that she is so exciting so creative and so unpredictable the action now in several skirmishes but it is zen she trying to well wait a minute oh oh no that could be it he went over the top landed on his feet both feet have to hit the floor and tag me now hung up on the top rope zenshi connects with the kick on the outside of the ropes dangerous spot to be in oh no wait a minute here right out of the timekeeper's table i don't believe his feet hit the floor yeah i'm not sure if the feet hit the floor or not but i think his head hit the ring belt rich and might have zanchi the referee's over there to check in uh but wait see what the official call is on that is now arabis at number 11 makes his way to the ring one of mexico's next generation of cutting edge luchadores walks the rubs and gets nothing and springboards into a hurricanrana [Applause] that big head scissors and now perhaps another uh well wait a minute here electric chair underneath up on top of gringo loco and wait a minute whoa and between aramis and ares aren't we seeing the next generation of top luchador stars here at mlw look at zen from the timekeepers table he's still in this matchup he has been ruled officially still alive in this match both feet did not hit the floor despite going over the top room and now gringo loco trying to get some air sent himself flying backwards with the ace crusher zanchi off the top connects with ernest smart strategy here i think by tankman just kind of let some of this play out in front of him yeah so many bodies all over the ring you can see king mo who wasn't sure who he wanted to choke he had so many options this match really getting cooking here the mission submission and alex king the newest member of american top team the suplex assassin puts it on display right there suplex by alex kane [Music] now the side suplex the saeedo suplex follows it up with an exploder and the suplex assassin is out of control overhead belly to belly that time and zhenchi went face-first into the turnbuckle german suplex full nelson suplex [Applause] what's left well if there's anything we haven't seen before i'm sure he'll come up with it as the suplex assassin absolutely dominant but right behind him can he get taken off rich david looking for the clubbing clothesline and yes indeed the german suplex alex [Applause] and at number 13. it's [Music] great counter there for reading to the stunner moriarty over the top lands on the apron zenchi now trying to tie up with king mole and moriarty was saying over the top look at the elimination attempt it is taking four or five men to try and kick moriarty off the apron but there goes tj peter trying to pick the bones and that's why you are never safe in a and hang it on for dear life to the ropes he's able to pull himself back up oh king moments with a big right fist but stays on the attack big forearm and oh zenchi opened his feet didn't hit the floor caught on that guardrail we get another entrant here we've seen him since that jumbo fight he's not messing around now a lot of skill with that singapore kane one of the great brawlers in the history of puerto rico and you're seeing all the skills he has with a weapon well he's not been eliminated he went over the top rope the feet did not hit are you kidding me [Applause] he's tied up his uh his feet on the second rope now we have not had an elimination yet have we [Applause] every entrant all 14 of them so far are still in this matchup we get entrant number 15 and the other half of injustice it's jordan oliver we now have both members of injustice in the match now we [Applause] but now we have both members here and you gotta think they're gonna be working together at least for the time being oliver and reed trying to eliminate arabis and hold on here [Applause] listen to the crowd chain for savio samia tied up with alex kane in the corner 15 competitors in the ring we will have 40 that have entered by the time this night is over well imagine if we had all 40 at the same time we've seen so much creativity from these world-class athletes finding ways to not get eliminated rich again eliminations are by pinfall submission or by being thrown over the top rope both feet must hit the floor for an elimination to count right now it is just every man for himself tank been trying to hang on his tjp and davey richards looking to dump him over the top the winner of this matchup gets a world title shot [Applause] the surprise entrant look at the size of this guy rich this guy is a total wild card look at this guy he's gigantic what do you think he weighs i don't know but look how he towers over tankman here and the two behemoths meeting in the center of the ring doesn't even seem to be facing tank but doesn't well that time it did and the beast man that's gonna be a lot of beef to get over the top rope sold out here at the 2300 arena in philadelphia every 60 seconds another man enters 40 men no dq anything goes pinball submission or over the top rope now the referees if they wanted to while they've got a shopping cart for weapons for some of the competitors who've been trying to dodge this match up on the outside of the ring what he can't levy fines for are the weapons it's all legal yeah and we've got dr julia smokes on the outside so it's rivera and sliced boogie where'd they get that big plank of wood well it's one of the boards for the ring we keep backups under the ring in case there's an issue watch himself off the rope caught by slice boogie oh no right through that that ring that'll do some damage saint laurent big spine buster there from slice [Applause] maybe we'll have a bond here between the two puerto rican wrestlers who's this elimination he's got to be excited to be here the sold out 2300 arena in south philly and matt cross wasting no time looking for his first elimination so one elimination in this matchup so far we just mentioned it it is who was pinned you can't be pinned you can't be forced to submit wow coast to coast zanchi connecting on the dropkick and now it's tom lawler pushing as he might on the outside davey look at the look on waller's face trying to get richards out of there again 6 30 off the second rope by zed right out of the beastman and zenchi again sent over the top and well able to hang on with his right leg gripping the top rope prevented himself from falling to the floor this thing's getting chaotic oh it's been crazy richard number 20. the biggest underdog with the longest shot at winning [Music] you get a feeling he's going to go straight for tjp could between number two and their waste in no the foreign of tjp that was laura going over the top and filthy thomas he's eliminated filthy tom the very first battle riot winner [Applause] captured the first ever battle riot back in 2018 and he vowed to become the first two-time battle riot winner of course he rode that 2018 victory all the way to the world title and they get a glimpse of him there complaining as a sort of loser on the way back to the locker room as marshall monarch makes his way down to the ring [Music] look out here was just another elimination [Applause] [Music] breaks the eyes of marshall on eric ernest trying to hang on one foot was on the floor it's going to be both feet to hit the floor yeah it's got to be both feet rich or submission a lot of options here to try to eliminate the other 39 men to win battle royale three and win yourself a guaranteed title shot anytime anywhere of the winners choosing a shot at the heavyweight championship off the world beast man teaming up with lee moriarty and uh marshall vonnerick oh tankman's got zenship able to get free there yes then she might be going for the ride this time no are you gonna [Music] my god he just towers over everyone football player multiple championships as a bodybuilder and i have a feeling he's going to be a force to be reckoned with here in major league wrestling how do you stop a guy that is six foot eight and in the shape that enduca is in look at him he is chiseled he just towers over everyone he just suplexed two men at the same time like it was nothing sliced boogie and alex kane i was gonna say jeez you're looking at this wait a minute kimchi nobody has seen him since 1993. what is he doing here goes over the top the huge clothesline from the judge took out a house kane but here's kim chi and he means business tangling out and king up on his shoulders another elimination yes king mo time to hit the showers in uh oh kimchi cowering in the corner yeah kim looks a little timid here but he's got that club well how else do you think he could he could control kamala with another elimination i'm not gonna be honest i was kind of hoping kimchi would go a little further well i don't know how far anybody's gonna go as long as the judge is in the ring ej and duka just throwing out bodies left and right rich that's aeris and uh oh boy look at this did you hear what he just said i don't know he might have a death buster [Applause] ziggy dice what is he doing here hold on now tjp just eliminated down picking up the scraps would you expect any less and now wow tgp sets over the top hope somebody's keeping track of the eliminations for enduca he's gonna be up to five or six already [Applause] has eliminated men over and over and over who is going to stop him here in battle ryan three and now marshall has the claw ziggy dice you hear the countdown [Music] turning his attention quickly to ziggy dice the outlandish one buster world heavyweight title shot is the prize anytime anywhere doesn't matter who the champion is yeah i was going to say in theory whoever wins this matchup could catch that in tonight double front chancery there from davey richards so far it's the judge ej enduca who has been the most dominant force in this match but still so many bodies in the ring targeting matt cross and let's give credit to davey richards oh cross was perhaps going for that flagpole press he's able to grab hold of the top stand straight up on that uh a handstand on that top turnbuckle but just the uh the force which he was sent over the top by in dukas cross is eliminated we had to enter 26 it is casey navarro miami native just signed with major league right out the wrestling with the ddt this kid is something special rich i'm telling you he's going to be a huge future start here in major league wrestling oh man big back elbow by taking and moriarty went hard down to the floor he just turned 22 casey navarro i don't want to go into all the details rich but there was a bidding war for this kid and he picked major league wrestling a huge signing here for mlw the sky's the limit for kc navarro put together physically yes he is small but he's so quick but right now it's the big boys center of the ring calvin takeman and the judge i was waiting for this i'll tell you what i can't wait to see them go one on one in a match right now it is the battle riot folk man trying to eliminate as many as they can and walk out of here with the prize of a world heavyweight title shot number 27 island hawaii the son of the legendary head shrieker and ej has taken on his shoulders man oh wait a minute here went over the top casey navarro in the face while he was upside down couldn't defend himself but the bigger story here the judge in heavyweight hustle they're both god and everybody else in this match that's got to feel good those guys are out but there goes slice boogie and rivera and it is injustice we had the issues with them earlier on pulled the top rope down yeah we don't want to overlook that and also don't want to overlook 12 eliminations for ej an unofficial record as the uh the action continues up the ramp with the justice he's not here [Applause] wrestling in battle rocket three former battle riot winners they swim down he certainly has wait a minute here david's been you eliminated the sense that something's fishy here [Applause] well perhaps l.a park [Applause] going after marshall at the parks for that that's it they wanted the uh they want a rematch for the world tag team championship i'm still not sure that that's no wait a minute come on now i knew that wasn't la park it's 50 times [Applause] i thought it was ellie parker [Applause] so we've had 28 entries here atlanta hawaii hits the samoan drop on ziki dice we still got casey nevarro in the ring marshall bought eric and we've got davey richards who came in at number one and he's still going we have 11 more entrants to go 10 after this [Applause] who do we got simon gotch of country union [Music] mlw over and over nobody's been able to stop them but a lot of their power rich comes from the fact that the heavyweight champion of the world and whoever wins this match 40 men no dq anything goes over the top rope pinfall or submission the winner gets a shot at the heavyweight championship anytime anywhere whoever wins this match could they finally be the man that helps stop contra big brain buster by gotch that is certainly a tall order stop contra good luck how many have tried how many have failed as gods now with a big uppercut ziggy dice he's trying to uh prop himself up on the top rope we get another contra [Music] soldier and uh it is davari the iranian super soldier [Music] baddest man on the planet the heavyweight champion of the world they've got experience they've got muscle they've got technical ability if you look at the way the contra unit has put their their roster of soldiers together they really break everything to the table they check all the boxes casey navarro meeting davari 30 and 10 left rich being dragged around by the uh that contra flag and nice welcome for casey navarro davar is going to try and hang him this is legal too yeah he's got to find a way to alleviate that pressure very dangerous situation nice kick there from navarro everybody's going to try and catch a breath which is probably the smart thing to do at this moment in this match were in the ring you couldn't you couldn't breathe for a second not at a minute all this is a surprise listen to this and trying to take over mlw rich i'm convinced that that gritty in the philadelphia flyers was modeled after the blue meanie but i i could be wrong the mini now being stopped at by davari and gotcha unit ziki dice wanting a piece of the blue meanie hawaii and marshall bonner tied up in the corner now casey navarro i might have to think about that tapping out here gotcha tied up he's got a bright future ahead you don't want to tear an achilles here [Music] yeah first time since the injury or has he just been training and scouting you never can really get reliable information out of contra units that they now have three members in the ring akira kwon simon gotch davari in the numbers game now plays very favorably to contra and if contra wins the battle riot they get a shot at fought two anytime anywhere what if they just refuse to cash it in i mean and be able to stop one of the other top competitors from getting a title shot at a time of their choosing is there's a big right hand there from the blue meaning i mean what a power play this would be for contra if they could win the battle ryan meaning trying to uh trying to eliminate kira kwon and now gotch there to assist his teammate kwon number 33 hold on here now guan pinning ziggy dice who's been eliminated as ross fought eric [Music] both vaughn eric brothers are in battle riot three gods trying to eliminate the blue meanie the kira kwan now grabbing hold of ross von erick again we mentioned it you know it's not like contra to ever admit weakness was quan injured was he out scouting what's he trading in the uh the himalayas could they just have been waiting for a match of this nature where you needed maximum numbers to increase your chances of protecting fatwu's precious world heavyweight championship zavari and ross von erick and the corner to your right is that what we no no oh no the mastermind of contra unit it is joseph samuel and he's got the spike saver on he's got the spike not oh this is legal it's legal anything's legal in a battle right but marshall could be seriously hurt a spike right to the back of the head and joseph samuel choosing to put it in the boot and go after the eyes of ross god to the meaning he's still tied up in the corner now cmile with his attention on ross von erich akira quan lance in hawaii samuel setting up ross with a neck breaker and cover that's the two count uh marshall von erk was there to try and bail his brother out better taking a thumb right to the eye from samuel yeah casey navarro is still in this matchup camel clutch here to work sam i [Applause] he demanded two years but samayal has stood in the way but if you win this match you get a shot anytime anywhere of your choosing and there's nothing that samuel can do about it and you notice hammerstone went right after sam i helped oh what a forearm snatch ready to the the cheekbone and kiriquan crumble down but the thing about hammerstone rich that's made him so successful here in major league wrestling obviously very well physically put together but he's got great ring iq and i think he realizes there's so many members of contra in the ring you got to get one of them out of there right away he's got to pick him apart but there's ross vaughn eric he's in the ropes samuel over the top rope and uh casey navarro somehow still hanging in here as we get to enter number 36 there will be 40 total entrance [Music] that just entered so by hooker by crook the numbers advantage for contra has just increased more than ever contra promised to hijack the battle ryan and uh saint laurent appears they've done that four entrants remain and right now contra dominated i'll think about it you've got gotcha you've got samael you've got the two set tight dead squad members you've got the bari carol quan still in there the set death squad like you mentioned a lot of contra in the ring right now as hammerstone in the corner these two huge sentinel death squad members beating on him in the corner wow wow now this is a surprise we thought the blue video was a shock queen the ninja is here playing the ninja in many years very skilled with those nunchucks and he's fresh he's got a weapon and right now putting in the work in power the ninja going to work and perhaps that might be the uh well never mind took a whack at ross fine eric it was going to say perhaps that oh he lost the nut truck and this is what contra needed well that could have been the antidote to contra unit but never mind because quang the ninja is so skilled with those nut trucks he can take out three four five men at the same time semi l the big knife and shot as we have had 37 entrance into this battle riot matchup in moments entrance number 38 and then there will be two more and then it is everyone for [Applause] with the title themselves which i'm sure would please cesar duran [Music] methodically making his way we might need some medical attention here for the blue meaning and now hammerstone who's got a history with kate woods has in a bad spot here by the ropes with that mist to the eyes and then the straight to hell enough to eliminate the plumini now with the attention on the national open with a champion hammerstone and we're just getting some help from cochrane but there is marshall by eric to the rescue i think it was actually quang the ninja that got blue meaning with the mist and then right into that straight to hell by king muertes entrant number 39 on the way the field is still crowded will walk out of here the 2021 battle riot winner with an opportunity anytime anywhere at the mlw world heavyweight championship gino medina would love to punch that ticket second generation wrestler picked a great spot number 39 and immediately goes for a pin gets the two count on ross bonner into goblin gino medina small package here got a two count on marshall von eric lottery basket very kind to gino medina and then there was one rich one entrant remains who will be number 40 in battle riot 3. if you're just tuning in 40 men no dq anything goes the winner gets a shot at the heavyweight championship of the world at a time of their choosing you can eliminate your opponents by pinfall submission or throwing them over the top roof both feet must hit the floor and it's contra still with the numbers game working to their advantage rich the sold out 2300 arena here in south philadelphia entrance number 40. as if country unit needs another entrant they are in charge of this matchup it is mads krueger and uh look at uh the seas almost parting here for kruger as he makes his way into the ring the only man that hammerstone has ever faced that he hasn't been able to put away max casey navarro in the clutches his hand is bigger than his head wrench good god just chucked him over the top broken now hammerstone and matt's krueger the two of them tangling here hammerstein with some shots but a big knee by krueger and hammerstone now fell to the canvas with a big left hand yeah krueger the southpaw so dangerous for so many reasons the black hand of control contra has been more dangerous than ever ever since match krueger has been added we see a nice 540 kick there from geno contra commander's obsession with breaking hammerstone and oh another elimination there stopping hammerstone from coming after fontu's belt krueger has done whatever he can do to step in hammerstone's way but neither have beaten the other no we get an elimination here is able to eliminate another man with the straight to hell but you think about it uh hammer and krueger neither has really been able to get the edge on the other st no that's kruger and hammerstone we've seen stalemates from them in the past all these bodies in the ring standing in between hammerstone and krueger but you know they both want to get their hands on each other for sure both have doled out plenty of damage to each other and kruger they're going after hammerstone to midsection i'd say perhaps hammerstone has been on the receiving end of a little bit more damage than krueger has but the fact remains neither is beating the other eric helped up his brother marshall in the corner as long as both von eriks are in this match either one of them has such a great chance to win this thing the teamwork between ross and marshall we've seen it in the past former tag team champions third generation wrestlers king and um they say one elbow out there oh he just threw ross right into marshall the battle beyond begins [Applause] here this could be coming down to this could be coming down to the vaughn eriks hammerstone certainly to take mlw back from contra last year you think about the battles that the phone erics have had with contra at a distinct disadvantage wait a minute now there's a big elimination with the set death squad member sent over the top of the big clothesline samuel has got the spike he goes right after hammerstone but hammer able to turn it around [Applause] being dumped over the top by marshall but quan able to hang on the cradle there to two count as ross and gotch were tied up now it is marshall with his attention on matt's krueger that'll riot 2021 the winner walks out of here with the shot anytime anywhere oh look at the technique on these kicks from both von erick brothers in the corner to the midsection of max krueger sometimes when you have an opponent that large rich go to the body go to that midsection try to get rid of all their air it is the world heavyweight title a shot at which hangs in the balance of this matchup pitfall submission over the top rope is uh oh man kruger eliminated both fought eric's and now it is down to contra and hammerstone and it is your boy hammer outnumbered here three to one or maybe not well there goes scotch and there goes davari and it comes down to hammerstone and krueger my god the final two it's now matt krueger and hammerstone the national open weight champion one-on-one the rules still apply pinfall submission or over the top neither man has been able in the past to take down the other it's gotta happen here tonight rich hammerstone wants that battle riot ticket the shot at fought two anytime anywhere and you have to think the instructions very clear for all whoever wins this match gets a shot at the heavyweight championship of the world anytime winner chooses match krueger hammerstone the final two who's it gonna be rich i can't even fathom what's gonna go down here well again you think about it you have to think the instructions from for kruger and all the members of contra unit win that battle riot ticket and basically hold it hostage for an entire year yeah krueger the fresher of the two came in at number 40. contra getting the best spot that you could possibly get in the battle ryan can anybody stop the black hand of contra hammerstone came in at number 35 and she said krueger at number 40. and now kruger looking for the chokeslam hammerstone grabbing hold of the wrist able to break the hole big kick right to the jaw amber stone off the ropes caught by krueger and planted full nelson slammed by max krueger this could do it right here referee down to the countdown oh hammer still kicks out and krueger can't believe it but he wastes no time going right back after alexander hammerstone the national open weight champion trying to get his shot at that world heavyweight title but what a joke slam from kruger again into the cover and again hammerstone kicks out but look how quickly he kicked out i can't believe it could it be could it be hammer time here at the sold out 2300 arena hammer [Applause] has to get through krueger big kick to the back of the skull and krueger is wobbly what a big kick and that could do it hammerstein could be out [Applause] that pierced the turnbuckle oh this is not good for hammerstone krueger wants to put the finishing touches the exclamation point so to speak and how sharp that is hammer's still unable to duck that's a low blow but it is legal on a big clothesline you notice that uh krueger dropped that spike hammerstone he's able to grab hold of it could that be the the equalizer here no dq anything goes the spike completely legal [Applause] oh my god whatever it takes big bad body drop it is alexander hammerstein [Music] and of course right now the focus [Music] 39 other men really more than that when you look at all these cartridge soldiers and everybody that hammerstone had to go through to win battle riot three already just ripped the conjure flag in half rich is that the end of contra unit here at mlw or the beginning of the end it very well could be [Music] that's at the heavyweight championship of the world and there's nothing that joseph samuel can do about it who wants it right now hammerstein could catch it in right now instead get in the way he may be grinning he may be trying to save face but i think he's scared rich your boy hammer alex hammerstall the winner can you even imagine what that match would be like national champion versus world [Music] it's only a matter of time now at some point at a time in place of hammerstone's choosing [Music] jacob who will be forced to defend the world heavyweight championship [Music] and that was protect the championship at all costs samuel could not be happy but [Music] loving it but you know samuel he is quick to adjust and you know that he is focusing on one thing now and that is how to make sure that patu is ready whenever the time comes well we've seen contra refresh and reload so many times we've seen samael pull every [Music] the fans are excited here in philly because they know their boy hammer nothing can stand in the way now of him getting his shot at that world heavyweight championship my goodness she's excited and hammerstone andrew with the pose down tonight you're 20 21 battle ryan winner [Music] fans what a night it's ben that's gonna do it for all of us here at major league wrestling for saint laurent albrecht's bikini sing so long from philadelphia

Is Jordan Oliver's gimmick just J-Roc from trailer park boys?

[u/MrMysteryBox]

I am super late to getting to watch this. Opening of the show is fantastic. I'm here for Cesar Duran's wicked machinations and LAX! WHAT! How rad.

[u/qwertythe300th]

Whos the Meth-head Malcolm Bivens with LAX?

[u/Tentacruel_Jr]

Ok I just watched this and there’s definitely some really great talent in MLW. I was impressed by Calvin Tankman, EJ Nduka, Aramis, Ikuro Kwan, both members of Injustice, and Zicky Dice. If they’re smart they’ll focus on those talents, unfortunately though as much as I like Jacob Fatu and Simon Gotch, Contra Unit looked hella dummy towards the end.

[u/ItsAMeEric]

I didn't realize Davey Richards had returned to wrestling. Would love to see him tag with Edwards somewhere (Impact?) for one last tag run

[u/KingOfElysium]

just got finished watching it,that was incredibly fun,loved the surprise entrants like kwang and kimchee,also very glad that cesar/dario is the new general manager/match maker of mlw,the more of him we get the better.

happy that hammerstone won,it felt like the obvious route to go honestly to set up him and fatu down the road,honestly the only thing that i didnt like is that we didnt get the caribbean championship match that was also advertised for battle riot,unless i'm remembering wrong and it was advertised for another show,but i know they advertised it.

[u/MarkMVP01]

First time seeing Hammerstone after seeing some hype for him on here for a little while. Don’t really get it so far besides him being jacked, like I thought his movements were kinda stiff.

[u/_NearDark_]

Savio Vega pulling a mick foley and coming out as multiple gimmicks HA

[u/PalaverProject]

HAMMERSTONE! That guy is a star! He’s got so much upside! There are quite a few on that roster that have that impressive presence
