OPERA CUP TOURNAMENT, PRINCE OF DARKNESS, STREET FIGHT AND MORE: COMPLETE MLW OPERA CUP COVERAGE

By Mike Johnson on 2019-12-05 23:10:00

They aired footage of Tom Lawlor's recent turn.  Lawlor came to the ring.  He said all anyone wants to talk to him about lately are the Von Erichs.  He said they are idiots, morons, and dumbasses.  He said the only ones dumber than the Von Erichs are the fans cheering them on.  He asked if Ross and Marshall are even real Von Erichs.  He then said he had the real Von Erich here and introduced RIP Von Erich, allegedly the son of Lance Von Erich, who of course was not actually related to the family.

Tom Lawlor vs. Rip Von Erich

Lawlor outclassed RVE, using him to mock the family.  He avoided a dropkick and used an Airplane Spin.  Lawlor locked the Iron Claw on RVE for the pin.

Your winner, Tom Lawlor!

This was all old school heel stuff with Lawlor mocking the family.  It was very good in that regard.

Lawlor said he was undefeated against the Von Erichs and is going to remain undefeated against them.  Then, all the scumbag city slicker at home are going to know they should have been chanting Filthy Tom for him and not cheering for the Von Erichs.  He called them Hawaiian Hillbillies.  Marshall and Ross Von Erich came out to confront him but were attacked by The Spirit Squad.  They were laid out as Lawlor wore their cowboy hat to mock them.

El Lindaman vs.MLW Middleweight Champion Myron Reed

Some nice back and forth action early on.  Reed gained control.  Lindaman hit a big dive to the outside on all three members of Injustice.   He scored several two counts but  Reed kept kicking out.  He nailed a stiff kick to the chest and a big back suplex for a two count.  Reed came back with a sit-down inverted powerbomb for a two count.  He went for a springboard move but was dropkicked in mid-air.  Reed was slammed for a two count.  Reed came with a cutter and a springboard 450 splash for the pin.

Your winner, Myron Reed!

Short but all enjoyable action.

They aired a video feature on the forthcoming AAA working agreement.

They aired a short Injustice promo in front of Citifield, knocking New York.

Injustice came to the ring complaining they aren’t being celebrated.  They complained about not being in the Opera Cup. The old “white investors” upstairs don’t like them.  They make too much noise and too much controversy. They complained their merchandise wasn’t being sold.  Officials came out asking them to leave. They asked what was going to happen and if they were going to get fired.  They refused to leave and brought a chair into the ring. They sat down in the center.  

King Mo Lawal came to the ring.  The crowd chanted that Mo was going to kill them.  They were going to fight him when out came the returning ACH.

ACH & King Mo vs. Jordan Oliver & Kotto Brazil.

Mo and ACH controlled Brazil early.  They nailed a double hiptoss. Mo locked in an anklelock but Brazil made it to the ropes.  ACH tagged in and stomped the hell out of Brazil in the corner. He nailed a series of chops.  Brazil came back with a rana and a dropkick.

Injustice took control on ACH and whipped him into the guard rails.  Oliver took control and drilled ACH with a series of chops. He and Brazil hit a series of slingshot elbows into the ring on ACH.  Brazil used a front facelock to control ACH. He turned ACH over into a Sharpshooter variation.

They kept working over ACH as Lawal tried to rally the crowd.  Mo finally got the hot tag. He started throwing Injustice around rudely.  Lawal was worked over but came back with a double clothesline. ACH returned to the fray and attacked Brazil with a series of fast kicks in the corner.  Oliver jumped him but ACH regained control and nailed a big dropkick.. Lawal hit a big splash in the corner. He powerbombed Brazil and forced him to tap to a leglock.

Your winner, ACH and King Mo!

Mo is a project and he's going to need some work but he tried.   The crowd really loved seeing ACH.
