The main event for MLW’s Never Say Never in Miami has been announced!

On December 13th and 14th, Major League Wrestling heads to Miami, Florida for Never Say Never and Zero Hour, its next set of Fusion television tapings for beIN Sports.

After yesterday’s announcement that Konnan will be stepping back into the ring one more time to challenge Low Ki for the MLW World Heavyweight Title at Zero Hour (check that out here), we now know what the main event for Never Say Never will be. Late last night, MLW revealed that Pentagon Jr. and Rey Fenix will defend their MLW World Tag Team Championships with the aforementioned Konnan in their corner against The Hart Foundation:

WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS REY FENIX & PENTAGON JR. VS. HART FOUNDATION TITLE MATCH TO MAIN EVENT MLW’S MIAMI DECEMBER 13^TH TV TAPING

The Hart family have been winning championships for 88 years and on December 13^th, 2018 the new era Hart Foundation will have their dance with destiny as they challenge for the World Tag Team Championship in Miami. Their opponents? The reigning World Tag Team Champions Pentagon Jr. & Rey Fenix.

Major League Wrestling today announced the main event for MLW’s Thursday night December 13^th‘s Never Say Never card. World Tag Team Champions Pentagon Jr. & Rey Fénix (cornered by Konnan) vs. the Hart Foundation is signed for the Miami Scottish Rite Temple. Both December 13 & 14^th cards are FUSION TV tapings for beIN SPORTS.

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

Since being crowned the World Tag Team Champions this past June, the Luchas Bros (Pentagon Jr. and Rey Fénix) have defeated every tag team in Major League Wrestling… but one: the Hart Foundation.

Equally impressive are the trio known as the Hart Foundation consisting of Teddy Hart, Davey Boy Smith Jr. and Brian Pillman Jr. Since exploding on the scene this past summer, the Hart Foundation have dominated all in their path on the road to a title match.

On a collision course since the fall, the media and fans alike have been buzzing about the dream match; a match which will now main event MLW’s December 13^th Never Say Nevercard.

The much-anticipated bout marks the first time both teams have squared off against each other in tag team competition. With the Harts representing Canada and the World Tag Team Champions fighting out of Mexico, this international encounter has captured the interest of fans around the world.

“This is a big match,” said MLW CEO Court Bauer. “Fénix and Penta have practically cleaned out the division while the Hart Foundation have not just dominated but straight up decimated everyone we’ve thrown at them. Miami is in for something special when these four throwdown.”

But which two members of the Hart Foundation will wrestle in the title fight? Good question… one the unpredictable trio isn’t disclosing at the moment. Ever the fighting champions, Pentagon and Fénix are unfazed by the unpredictable nature of the Hart Foundation: they just want to prove once and for all they are the true kings of tag team wrestling in the sport.

Will the Hart Foundation end their incredible 2018 by bringing championship gold back to Calgary, Alberta Canada or will the Lucha Bros. enter 2019 unstoppable? Find out live Friday night December 13^th in Miami! Buy tickets at MLWTickets.com.

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.
