Real 1 vs Lince Dorado
Real 1, who I guess changed his name recently, came to the ring and called everyone in Philly fat like the Samoans. Real 1, would then ramble on the mic for a while before Lince Dorado finally made his way out to the ring.
The match went about 10 mins and showcased the physicality each man is capable of. This was high-level pro wrestling. Real 1 did a running razor’s edge to Dorado on the ring post and then finished off Lince Dorado shortly after.
Winner: Real 1 by pinfall.

The Thrilla in Philla
So this match was a challenge where Alex Kane defends his Open Weight Championship. There was a $20,000 purse at stake for the open challenge. The challenger had to beat Kane in under 20 mins to win the purse and the belt.
Davey Richards would come out and accept the challenge, but after a hard-fought 20-minute match he would run out of time and fail.
Winner: It’s a draw, Alex Kane retains.
.@Alex_kane11 put out the challenge and @RichardsWesley is accepting.#MLWFusion

After the match, Richards was trying to shake hands with Kane but then got worked over. Myron Reed would come out to save Davey Richards with a chair, but, he would assault Davey Richards with the chair and then stomp a mudhole in Richards with Alex Kane. Nobody would come to Davey’s rescue. Myron Reed joins The Bomaye Fight Club.
What has gotten into @TheBadReed? Attacking @RichardsWesley and now joining the BOMAYE FIGHT CLUB! #MLWFusion @Alex_kane11 @MochaTraps
