In the small group of celebrities who have tried out professional wrestling, most have been absolute flops: New York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor main eventing WrestleMania XI was an embarrassment, while David Arquette winning the WCW World Heavyweight Championship remains one of the worst stunts in pro wrestling history (and that’s saying something). In fairness, Logan Paul is a genuine talent and even Bad Bunny has proven capable in the ring, but they are definitely outliers. Now, one prominent pro wrestling roster may find itself bulking up, as The Iron Claw stars Zac Efron and Jeremy Allen White expressed interest in stepping into the squared circle.
As Efron – who plays Kevin Von Erich of the famed wrestling dynasty in The Iron Claw – told The Ringer’s The Masked Man Show, he would enter the ring under certain stipulations. “It’d be fun if we could get in there with...

Welcome to this week’s Mlw: Fusion review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and Mlw debuted on Vice TV on Saturday. It showed a rerun of the episode where Davey Boy Smith Jr. clobbered ol Simon Gotch in that No Holds Barred Match. It’s nice see this league on a more known channel. I hope this additional TV home for Mlw leads to a better level if production value to this already well-produced show. Can you… Giant Gary Coleman: Watchoo talkin’ ’bout Willis?! Me: Oh my G… Gcc: I’mma smash yo ass! Me: Oh no you won’t! Giant Emmanuel Lewis: Dynomite! Gcc: That ain’t even yo catchphrase! Jimmy Walker: That’s mine! Dynomite! Daphne Zuniga: Get your black asses over here and f–k the Schwartz out of me! Me: Look at the size of those whammers! I gotta get out of here!

Match #1: The Von Erichs def. The Dirty Blondes (w/ Aria Blake) – Bunkhouse Match For World Tag Team Championships The following is courtesy of mlw.com:
Bell rings and neither team wastes any time as the two teams go right at it. The Blondes try to isolate Ross Von Erich, but a stereo double dropkick by the brothers changes all that and sends the Blondes to the outside. The teams begin to brawl all over. It even spills through the locker room and to the outside of the arena. Ross sends Patrick careening...

Get Ready For Your Brand New Submariiiiiiiiiine!!!!!!!! Low Ki and Tom Lawlor look poised to knock the knuckle-children out of each other like a deranged Easter bunny. I’m so excited to buy a tractor and give it to the homeless so they can mow the parking lot they sleep on at night. We have to care about others. If you are homeless or do know some-one who is, give them a buck and a place to sleep. We all deserve to have some comfort and generosity. Also, I wanna bite ya! Nanananana!!!!!

(TV off) Whoops! I need to remember to turn this TalkTech thing off. As you can tell, I was watching “Family Ties”. Hey, we’ve got a really strong match to cover and another that’s pretty damn good in its own right. Low Ki fights King Mo in our main event, so don’t touch that dial, do you understand?! Don’t make me…Got It?! You know what! Gollum! Gollum! Gollum! (TV off) Whoops! I forgot to turn off this porno.

Welcome to this week’s Mlw: Fusion review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and Michael Apted is a good director, but not always the most interesting fella. On this episode of Homeland, we ask ourselves why this show is still on the f—— air. Claire Danes knows where the bodies are buried and Killer Kross is still here, because he already filmed the footage before he signed with the WWE.
Match #1: El Lindaman defeated Zenshi The following is courtesy of mlw.com:
Zenshi has his shoulder wrapped up due to his rendevous with Dominic Garrini, but it doesn’t slow the Chilean luchadore. He quickness leads to he and Lindaman running into an atheletic stalemate. The two quickly slap hands in respect, but Lindaman goes right on the attack. Zenshi is the first to get a pin attempt, but El Lindamen flies on top of Zenshi via a suicide senton,...

Match #1: Logan Creed defeated Moonshine Mantell The following is courtesy of mlw.com:
There’s quite the mass of humanity in the ring as Mantell and Creed trade blows but a shoulder tackle sends Moonshine to the mat. Moonshine refuses to relent but the power of Creed is too damn much. Moonshine turns the tide a bit with some corner shoulder thrusts but Creed cracks Mantell with a chokeslam backbreaker. He boots Mantell out of the ring and then does a top rope suicide dive onto Moonshine. Creed tosses Moonshine back into the ring and snaps him down with one powerful powerbomb.

It doesn’t take long for the action to start as Ross & Marshall go right on the attack. They give that offensive attakc an exclamation point with a double dropkick on Doane.

All three take a moment to run down Thanksgiving and one of their opponents tonight, Gringo Loco. Out comes the aforementioned Loco with his partner for tonight, the ever-innovative Zenshi.

Welcome to this week’s edition of The Last Week In Wrestling, right here in Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and there are a bunch of wrestling things to discuss, so let’s do so. This is a few weeks late, so sue me.
Best Promo:
Rowan Is His Own Man (WWE) – Erick Rowan cut a great promo where he told every-one he attacked Roman Reigns for his own benefit. This might have been the best option for Rowan. Hell, this is the best thing that’s ever happened in his career. Good for him.
Best Moment:
Nxt Debuts On USA (WWE) – What can I say? This is pretty cool. It might only be the first hour, but Nxt getting on network television is some-thing that wasn’t in the cards a few years ago, so this is a win.

Match #1: Leo Brien defeated Blake Banks The following is courtesy of mlw.com:
A returning Leo Brien comes firing out into the Nytex Sports Centre to start off Fusion from Dallas. The once turned bounty hunter from Colorado was ruthless and relentless, making very quick work against his young opponent Blake Banks. He threw Banks across the ring by his ears (not a typo) before prepping him up for an Oklahoma Stampede for the devastating 1-2-3. Rich Bocchini said it perfectly: “Leo Brien means business” and the Dirty Blonde gives a final stomp to Blake before exiting.
My Opinion: 2.3 out of 5 – This was a squash that was over...

Okay, get your whoopin’ pants on, because we’ve got some Mlw to watch.
Match #1: Bestia 666 defeated Rey Horus The following is courtesy of mlw.com:
“The Bruja” of Mlw, Salina de la Renta accompanied her newly acquired devil in Bestia 666 and you better believe the Tijuana Gremlin was ready to conjure up some pain against Rey Horus. The two started off with a chess match of luchadorism that Rey Horus ended up taking the direction of the rook to land straight on Bestia with a suicide dive. Schiavone gave a good factoid that Horus has won his matches 90% of...

Match #1: Low Ki defeated Jimmy Yuta The following is courtesy of mlw.com:
“The Professional” has indeed been a real pro at knocking opponents out cold and even though Yuta has a few inches on Low Ki, the wily vet was ready for quick work. Yuta was squaring to grapple up with Low Ki, but a quick boot to the face sat Yuta down for the quick Ko that led to referee Doug Markham signaling for the bell.
My Opinion: 1.5 out of 5 – This was a short squash, but Low Ki gave a cool kick.

Match #1: Alexander Hammerstone defeated Davey Boy Smith Jr. – Major League Wrestling National Openweight Championship Match The following is courtesy of mlw.com:
The fireworks in first of Fusion’s two main events didn’t begin in ring as Alexander Hammerstone and Richard Holliday were interviewed earlier in the day by new Mlw correspondent Georgia Smith. Being the sister of Davey Boy, Georgia had to suffer the unsavory words of Hammerstone who wanted to show Georgia what a real man looks like. That couldn’t of sat well with Davey who found himself walking to the ring on his own as both Teddy and Brian were having flight trouble. Champion Hammerstone was flagged by Mjf,...

Welcome to this week’s review of Major League Wrestling: Fusion, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have a wild main event to get to, so get your crazy pills out and get ready to go…crazy. That was supposed to be an Ozzy Osbourne reference, but it’s hard to do that line without screaming. Okay, let’s get in there and watch some Mlw.
Match #1: Richard Holliday versus Teddy Hart (No Contest)
My Opinion: 0 out of 5 – This was just an excuse to do one of those stolen title angles. Holliday stole the Mlw Middle-Weight Championship while Mjf jaw-jacked with Teddy Hart. Yeah, it’s as exciting as it sounds.
Match #2: Jordan Oliver beat Isaias Velazquez
My Opinion: 2.5 out of 5 – This was a good little match featuring two talented wrestlers. The action was easy to watch, like a lamb piloting a B-52 bomber.
