Major League Wrestling Est. 2002

MLW Hybrid Hell June 20th 2003 £9
The first of two cracking cards from Major League Wrestling, released following the group's relocation from Pennsylvania to Florida (offically something to do with the weather being nicer). This event got nothing but rave reviews, with a string of great matches involving names from ROH, AJPW, ECW and the Florida indies. The standard only slipped during a predictably ponderous Suzuki/Smiley match. Jerry Lynn vs Kid Romeo… Homicide vs Michael Shane… Christopher Daniels vs Billy Fives… Joel & Jose Maximo vs Samoan Island Tribe… Kenzo Suzuki vs Norman Smiley… MLW tag team title presentation ceremony… Steve Williams & D'Lo Brown vs The Extreme Horsemen (MLW Tag Team Title Match)… Sabu vs Mikey Whipwreck… CM Punk vs Raven… Mike Awesome vs Satoshi Kojima (MLW Title Change)… Terry Funk vs Steve Corino (no rope barbed wire match)

MLW Rise of the Renegades July 26th 2003 £7
Contrasting the bloodbath main event of Hybrid Hell, the highlight of Rise of the Renegades is a 26 minute technical treat from Jerry Lynn and Homicide. As this card was a taping for MLW Underground TV, many of the wrestlers were on double duty. Joel & Jose Maximo vs Jimmy Yang & Tony Mamaluke… Josh Daniels vs Rich Criado… Samoan Island Tribe vs Da Hit Squad… Steve Williams vs CW Anderson… Homicide vs Jerry Lynn… Simon Diamond vs The Sandman… Mikey Whipwreck vs Sabu… Rich Criado vs Nosawa… CM Punk & Michael Shane vs Norman Smiley & Raven… Abdullah the Butcher vs Terry Funk… Steve Corino vs Mike Awesome (MLW Title Match)… Steve Williams & The Sandman vs The Extreme Horsemen
