MLW News: Singapore Cane Match Set For MLW’s Zero Hour In Miami

Published

Tommy Dreamer
A big Singapore Cane Match has been announced for MLW Zero Hour!

We’ve been following along with all the happenings for next month’s MLW Fusion television tapings in Miami, first with Never Say Never on December 13th and then Zero Hour the following night.





It’s also been noted that due to injuries to Rey Fenix (see that here), MJF and Tom Lawlor (check those out here) a number of changes for both nights will be made, which we’ve already seen evidence of (find that here). Today, Major League Wrestling has revealed another big contest for the Zero Hour event, pitting The Hart Foundation’s Brian Pillman Jr. up against hardcore icon Tommy Dreamer in a Singapore Cane Match:

BRIAN PILLMAN JR. VS. TOMMY DREAM SINGAPORE CANE MATCH IN MIAMI FOR MLW FUSION TV TAPING DECEMBER 14TH

MIAMI – Major League Wrestling today announced a Singapore Cane Match: Tommy Dreamer vs. Brian Pillman Jr. for Friday night December 14th Zero Hour card at the Miami Scottish Rite Temple. Both December 13 & 14th cards are FUSION TV tapings for beIN SPORTS.

Buy General Admission tickets starting at $15 at http://www.MLWTickets.com. For just $20 fans can see both the December 13th (Never Say Never) and December 14th (Zero Hour) shows as part of the holiday combo ticket.

Tommy Dreamer is a man whose foundation is built on respect.  Respect for those that came before him like Terry Funk and Dusty Rhodes.  Men that inspired Dreamer to pursue his passion and be a pro wrestler.  These men set Dreamer on his path to becoming recognized as a hardcore legend.  So when the young and obnoxious Brian Pillman Jr. along with the Hart Foundation pummeled the legendary Kevin Sullivan backstage on an episode of MLW FUSION this past summer, Dreamer took exception. 

When the Hart Foundation countered with disrespectful statements about Dreamer exploiting legends for his own gain, Dreamer could take no more.  Soon thereafter, Pillman and Dreamer would square off before a sold out crowd in Chicago at Cicero Stadium.  The outcome: shocking.  Left with massive welts and contusions, Dreamer had been savagely attacked by Pillman’s ivory cane.

With the brash Brian Pillman Jr. seemingly emboldened by these events, Dreamer demanded payback.  His solution?  A Singapore Cane match!  League officials worked with the Hart Foundation sign the match for weeks and today it becomes official. Brian Pillman Jr. will meet the “Innovator of Violence” Tommy Dreamer in what should be a violent affair in Miami on Friday night December 14th. 

See Dreamer-Pillman in a Singapore Cane match live Friday night December 14th in Miami!  Buy tickets at MLWTickets.com

Mitchell’s AEW Continental Classic Update! (11/27/23)

What a start to the tournament!

Published

Did your picks win points?

The AEW Continental Classic is underway, with almost everyone competing. Check in here if you haven’t seen the winners and losers of week 1!

Here are your Gold League standings!

  • Jon Moxley: 1-0, 3 points
  • Swerve Strickland: 1-0, 3 points
  • Jay White: 1-0, 3 points
  • Rush: 0-1, 0 points
  • Mark Briscoe: 0-1, 0 points.
  • Jay Lethal: 0-1, 0 points

 

Here are your Blue League standings!

  • Brody King: 1-0, 3 points
  • Claudio Castagnoli: 1-0, 3 points
  • Daniel Garcia: 0-1, 0 points
  • Eddie Kingston: 0-1, 0 points
  • Bryan Danielson: Yet to Compete
  • Andrade El Idolo: Yet to Compete

 

My Thoughts:

Nothing too crazy, nothing too wild, this tournament only just got started. The only disappointing point is that they could not get Bryan “cleared to compete” Saturday night. Not sure how much of that is shoot given the bad eye, but this was kinda the problem of wanting him in the tournament over tons of other choices. Bryan wants to face Okada for WrestleKingdom 18, how is Bryan supposed to do that at his best if he’s also gonna be in a round robin, doing five top level matches in about as many weeks? And it takes away from Andrade being able to do something. Also a little surprised we didn’t even hear from Andrade on Saturday.

Now as we heard on Saturday, round two’s matches are set. Gold League will see Mark Briscoe VS Rush, White VS Swerve, and of course, Moxley VS Lethal. Nice variety there, a couple 0-1 guys facing off, as well as two 1-0 guys, and then 1-0 VS 0-1. No offense to Lethal, but he feels like an 0-2 going up against Moxley. Hard to call the other ones but that’s the fun of it. Meanwhile, Blue League sees Brody VS Claudio in a showdown to be 2-0, then Bryan and Andrade finally jump in, Bryan against Eddie and Andrade against Garcia. Sadly, feels like Eddie and Garcia are going 0-2, no way Tony Khan is booking Bryan and Andrade to lose their first shots.

In fact, that could be half the reason they did wait on those two, that’s almost too good for just a first round opener. But I still would’ve done it, same as NJPW does stuff like that for round robins, which this is all modeled after anyway.
