Saturday featured the official televised return of MLW with Battle Riot III, their annual 40-man no DQ battle royal with unique rules (eliminations are over the top, pin or submission, 60 second entries) that crowns the no. 1 contender for the World title.
The show was taped in Philadelphia, PA, on July 10th.
The debut of Cesar Duran
We opened with the El Jefe of Azteca Underground, Cesar Duran, who got a great response from the Philadelphia crowd. Chants of lucha rang around the 2300 Arena as he made his way to the ring. He tried to turn on the crowd, but they were having none of it and just cheered him on. He said he will be promoting fights in MLW under his Azteca Underground banner and is now the official MLW matchmaker at the behest of Court Bauer.
