Thoughts:
I figured that kicking off the new review format with MLW sounded like a nice idea. It's one of the few shows I bother watching regularly, and the card looked pretty stacked. Sadly, this was not the show I was hoping it would be.

The opener was rough, with only the apron spot and the finish coming off well. The general clunkiness made what should have been a big moment feel less important, and I can't help but thinking that having Pillman in instead of Davey that things would have been better.

Our midcard match started well enough, but it all feel apart by the end. I had hopes that we'd get a nice barnburner that elevated both, but this feels more like a setback.

After two matches that were average in every way possible, I couldn't help but notice that less than ten minutes remained for the main event. Low Ki, much like Teddy, has been seemingly revived by MLW and I actually found myself enjoying his reign as the top dog of the company. A title change seemed likely here, after months of build up, but I admit I was hoping to see a successful defense and a few more months tacked on to the run. Oh well. Lawlor is at least a great choice to replace Low Ki as the new face of the company. The match itself was ok, but it never really found a good groove and the table spot was one of the weakest I've ever seen.

I give props to MLW for being enjoyable each week, but this was far from what I was expecting and a disappointment as a result. The good news is that I am hopeful for the future of the brand still, and very interested in seeing what's next regardless of this misstep.
