MLW Fusion Episode 37: Konnan vs. Low Ki - No DQ World Title Match
Salina de la Renta’s Promociones Dorado has been in a war with Konnan since August and tonight on beiN SPORTS the saga reaches a violent showdown with gold, power and arguably the future of MLW hanging in the balance.
In the main event, Konnan will come out of retirement to challenge the reigning World Heavyweight Champion Low Ki for the belt in the legendary luchador’s hometown of Miami. The bout, a no disqualification encounter, will test Konnan as he takes on a man undefeated since debuting in MLW in 2004. Low Ki has buzz sawed through Rey Fenix, Shane Strickland, Daga and many others and now he looks to add the legacy of Konnan to his mantle of trophies.
Konnan looks to follow in the footsteps of Randy Couture in the UFC and George Foreman in boxing and return to the ring and claim gold in a classic Cinderella Man story that dates back to the days of James Braddock. Can Konnan do what no other wrestler has done and dethrone Low Ki? Find out tonight on beIN SPORTS at 8pm ET!
Following last week’s No Holds Barred fight, Simon Gotch is determined to show the world his dominance and that in fact losing to Lawlor was a fluke.

Tommy Rich Talks The Match That Inspired WWE's Hell In A Cell, Why His NWA Title Reign Was So Short
Former NWA World Champion, "Wildfire" Tommy Rich recently appeared on The Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling and discussed moments and matches from his long storied career. In the following excerpt, Rich discusses how the famed "Last Battle of Atlanta" became the inspiration for what would later become the WWE's Hell In A Cell. The full episode can be downloaded at this link.
Last Battle of Atlanta being aired on the WWE Network:
"It shocked and amazed me for a film to be gone that long and never seen and I had no clue about it. To see it brought back a bunch of memories."
The match with Buzz Sawyer being the inspiration for Hell in a Cell:
"Well Buzz was challenging. I wrestled him all over the country for two years in what is the longest feud in wrestling history I'm sure. If a feud would last 8-10 weeks than you had a good run, Buzz and me traveled around the country from Michigan to Ohio and everywhere like Georgia and all over the South and sold out everywhere we went. Columbus, Ohio had them hanging from the rafters, cage matches all around the country and we ended up in that "Last Battle of Atlanta" in that Hell in a Cell and it is funny to look back because I never really related that to Hell in a Cell that they have now because the cage situation but I look back at that cage and it was definitely a raw cage match."
"It was kind of scary. It's not built like the ones they have today and it was kind of shaky and Paul Ellering was on top in that little cage he was in and you thought that he was on top of that cage and was going to fall in and you didn't really know. I guess we wrestled for over twenty minutes in that thing too."
Intensity of Buzz Sawyer:
"I think the fans knew how intense he was. You had to be on your toes with Buzz and even though you have to be on your toes with everyone with Buzz it was different every night. You didn't know where he was coming from or what he was doing and he was like half-crazy and he was like a rabies dog sometimes. I've seen him foam at the mouth and it scared me to death."
His four day title reign as NWA Champion:
"Biggest thing in my wrestling career. More-so the reason being it was Harley Race that said they ought to do it. So a lot of respect for Mr. Harley Race who to me is the greatest champion there ever was. He could be good, bad, he could be in between, he could wrestle all night, and he could get it right whatever need be. Brisco, Funks, Flair they were all great but just to be able to mention your name in that category there again blessed and thanks to the fans, thanks to promoters, thanks to Harley."
Why was the title reign so short:
"You'd have to ask the bosses that. My take on it would be that staying in Georgia because the trips were close and I was home every night and could run the streets. I didn't care nothing about traveling around because I had everything that I wanted in Georgia and it was a great honor to get that belt. I was young. Needless to say everyone knew that I drank and partied and I wasn't ready for the responsibility because it takes a lot of responsibility. I've seen Harley be in Augusta and drive to Atlanta to catch a flight to Texas and from there to Florida and they probably knew that I'd miss a couple of flights here and there and as World Champ you couldn't miss flights and you can't miss shows. To be honest with you though, I couldn't tell you. It is an honor to be in that class but would I like to have held it longer? Yeah I would but I did hold it so as far as that goes I did it."
What it meant to be a top baby-face:
"I was true. I didn't have to put on no act. When I first had come to Atlanta (which I had started in Tennessee) I was signing autographs and stuff and I just enjoyed doing that. I was eighteen years old felt as good as a box of chocolates and somebody wants my autograph? When I got to Georgia, Mr. Barnett said "Tommy my boy, part of your job is hugging babies, kissing Mamas and signing autographs" and I had no problem with that."
"When I went I was yes sir-no sir. I had the utmost respect for everybody I wrestled and listened and learned. Wahoo MacDaniels was one of the best baby-faces in the world and I just wrestled against the best too. King Kong Mosca, Blackjack Lanza, Bobby Heenan, Baron Von Raschke, Bruiser Brody I wrestled with him and I could go on all day. I wrestled Bob Backlund in Augusta, Georgia, beat Harley Race in Augusta, Georiga and I got to wrestle the cream of the crop and the best of the best and I listened to every one of them. I am so thankful that I did because I never had a problem with any of them. Anything I was asked to do I always did and I very respectful of that and that is the reason I love old school so much too I guess because I grew up in it."
Spoiling The Fun of WWE's 'Soon To be Added... Ahem (Cough Cough) Hidden Gems' Again
Once again thanks to Paul Jordan at PWInsider for not being smart enough to actually RESEARCH and see if any of these matches are already on YouTube. His lack of research, or laziness on his part shows why I'm the better journalist here, and why he's just a fucking idiot.
So let's break this down because as you'll see. WWE doesn't do research and comes out looking stupid on this, AGAIN. And Paul Jordan? Well as i said, he's a fucking moron.
So let's break this down because as you'll see. WWE doesn't do research and comes out looking stupid on this, AGAIN. And Paul Jordan? Well as i said, he's a fucking moron.

This match has been on YouTube for SIX FUCKING YEARS! And WWE is gonna try and claim it's a 'Hidden gem'? AAHHHHAHAHAHAHAAHA! This even has Eric Bischoff doing the intro to the video, so how stupid does WWE look now? VERY STUPID.
OOOHHH but wait, wait wait, wwaaiittt. There's more.
Greg Gagne & Jerry Lawler vs Riki Choshu and Mr. Saito? OOHH you mean, THIS MATCH... between Gagne & Lawler vs Choshu & Saito?
DDAAMMN, how did that get there, if it's supposed to be a 'Hidden Gem" later this week? LMAO! "Hidden Gem" that's already been on YouTube for TWO FUCKING YEARS!!! LMAO!

WCW Power Hour 09/01/1989 – Muta in the Mist
The rivalry between WWE Hall of Famer Sting and Japanese legend the Great Muta reaches a fever pitch in the summer of 1989.
Well shucky darn look what's already been on YouTube for FOUR YEARS now, THIS (cough cough... Cough) "Hidden Gem.
MMMM, MMMMM, MMMMMMMMMM.. This announcement by WWE sure doesn't look all that Blockbuster now, does it, LMAO!
(Sighs) yes there is.. ANOTHER ONE. Shinjiro Otani vs Dean Malenko? From WCW Worldwide 05/18/1996?
Well I'l be damned, LOOK what we have here. WWE can't even get the dates right for it. Each listing in that pic above? Is THE SAME MATCH!!!
You can thank me now for being the ONLY WRESTLING JOURNALIST who has the balls to bust out the WWE and another Wrestling journalist on their freaking laziness to do research. Because how, how is it these can be considered 'hidden gems' when they've been on YouTube for years?
Funny how the WWE doesn't seem to have an answer to that, imagine that.
