And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Tons of MLW notes from the Observer site today.


Stokely Hathaway is back and will be managing a top heel and working behind the scenes

Ace Romero debuts on their show in Chicago

Rafael Morfii, a promoter who has worked for a number of groups including WWE & TNA, is working with the promotion

Sammy Guevara will be Rush's debut opponent

They will have another special on Bein Sports on 10/26 built around Halloween and the spin the wheel match they taped in New York

Tommy Dreamer is in as an agent

Konnan is the head agent and running the locker room.

They are talking to Bestia 666

Puma King is now a regular

Jason Cade will be getting more of a push

They are scheduling a major event on 2/2

They have interest in Mance Warner

They are still working on bringing in Walter, who they've wanted for some time.

MLW keeps bringing all the top indie free agents. Anybody remember when last month people were claiming everybody from all over would be reporting to NXT in the new year and that WrestleMania week had more promotions running than there would be wrestlers available? LOL! About as real as reports as Impact being for sale again.

Lots of those MLW notes have already come up as part of their weekly show, but some new stuff in there. Not familiar with Bestia 666 at all but I really love how lucha-heavy the promotion is. Kind of gives me ECW memories of the Rey/Juvy/Psicosis era exposing lucha libre to a new audience.

I'm really interested in going to that Chicago mlw show, seeing acey baby live definitely helps.

I know it's said a lot but a guy that big shouldn't be able to move that fast.

He's pretty good. He's a less charismatic and slightly less coordinated version of his dad when he was younger. When he's in there with really good guys he's great, especially when it involves wild sequences and dives. Yuta is pretty good but I can see them not meshing.

He worked with Sammy Guevarra in NYC and it was good. Sammy was the star, Hijo de Park didn't look bad at all.

Yuta isn't as experienced, but also I don't think he's wrestled real lucha before and Hijo Park is trained only in that and spots. Hijo Park needs a good base or multiple people and he's fine for big spots. Him and his dad vs Lucha bros should be good whenever it happens.

Just watching botchmania and seeing the venue get mad at Callahan breaking chairs because he was throwing them at Jimmy Jacobs...and Sami not caring...is Sami a part owner of AAW that he's allowed to act like that?

Sami's whole thing is trying REALLY hard to give an air of "Don't give a gently caress and I'm unpredictable". He'd like very much to be Mick Foley.

And shoutout to Acey Babey gettin a MLW spot. He's really green but the match series he had with Sami Callihan was really great(esp at a time when Sami was leaning heavily into that IM A DANGEROUS MAN poo poo).

I really hate it. Sami loving sucks and somehow gets the triple h treatment on the indies. He was just the first man in Impact to pin Brian Cage clean. His pacing sucks dick, he's small, he's got no cool moves, he gasses out, he hurts people, he isn't over or a draw anywhere, and yet he goes over people constantly and leads factions

He didn't mind breaking character to sell merch right next to Brody at a Bourbon show. Hopefully Logan isn't too pissed because that's the best AAW venue and they should run it all of the time.

if you've ever talked at length with Sami in person, you'd realize this is exactly how that dude lives his life. He'd stand on two broken legs just to spite someone.

I think I read that they had cleared up the mess and should be fine at this point.

I'm not a Callihan defender or supporter in any form, but I don't think anybody other than like... Colt Cabana or ACH could have had a reaction of "Oh, sorry! I'll put these chairs back!" and still have been over. If you're a heel (or whatever he is) and having some crazy fight, and the venue owner gets on the mic like a mad parent to yell at you I don't see how you DON'T tell them to gently caress off and keep having the match and try to work it out later. I don't know. Everyone is dumb.
