Always enjoy a nice Muldoon win.

[sniperniles]

The Valiants Vs. Road Warriors are an interesting feud.

Loving this.

[cruefan68]

The Sandman vs. Harley Race in a Texas Death Match should be wild. As always I am enjoying all of the action from MLW.

[Pariah]

What an unbelievable upset for Sandman... He's gonna need a double dose of good fortune in order to beat Handsome Harley in the rematch... The rivalry between Magnum T.A. and Blanchard has been heating up nicely... And I'm really enjoying the Trillium title tournament... Very cool that Leilani Kai advanced to the next round... Fun stuff!

[bookerbill]

Thanks TTX , I am very curious to see how Muldoon will fit into the main event picture. He has been very strong so far.
