MLW News: World Tag Team Title Match Added To Superfight In February

Published

Another title match has been added to MLW Superfight!

While a number of wrestling promotions are getting back to work this month as we’re on the eve of New Japan Pro Wrestling’s Wrestle Kingdom 13 (see the final card here), Ring Of Honor will be back on the road in less than two weeks, plus EVOLVE returns to action, WWE has NXT UK TakeOver, NXT TakeOver and Royal Rumble all on the horizon, Major League Wrestling will be back at it on February 2nd for Superfight.

Already announced for Superfight at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia (also known as the ECW Arena) is a huge main event when Low-Ki defends the MLW World Heavyweight Title against ‘Filthy’ Tom Lawlor. Today, MLW has added another championship bout to the card, announcing that Pentagon Jr. and Rey Fenix will be challenged for the MLW World Tag Team Titles by two members of The Hart Foundation (see which members recently signed deals with the company):

PHILADELPHIA – Major League Wrestling has signed a match so big it has officially changed the MLW: SUPERFIGHT marquee to a double main event card.

MLW today announced World Tag Team Champions Pentagon Jr. & Rey Fénix (cornered by Konnan) vs. the Hart Foundationfor MLW: SUPERFIGHTat the 2300 Arena. The event is an MLW FUSION TV tapings for beIN SPORTS.

The Hart family have been winning championships for 88 years and on Saturday night February 2nd the new era Hart Foundation will have their dance with destiny as they challenge for the World Tag Team Championship in Philadelphia. But can anyone keep up with the most celebrated World Tag Team Champions today in the Lucha Bros.?

Since being crowned the World Tag Team Champions last June, the Lucha 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 last summer, the Hart Foundation have dominated all in their path on the road to a title match.  

The bout, originally scheduled for MLW’s December Never Say Never card, was postponed due to Rey Fénix suffering an injury that put him on the injured list for several weeks.

On a collision course since the fall, the media and fans alike have been buzzing about the dream match; a match which will now serve as a double main event bill for MLW’s Philadelphia MLW: SUPERFIGHT card.

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. Philly is in for something special when these four throw down.”

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 bring championship gold back to Calgary, Alberta Canada or will the Lucha Bros. prove unstoppable again in 2019? Find out live Saturday night February 2nd in Philadelphia at the 2300 Arena!

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

What a start to the tournament!

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.
