Alexander Hammerstone vs. Aerostar

Minutes to Bell Time

MLW Fusion February 15: National Openweight Championship

The match went to commercial almost immediately after it started. MLW showed clips from the break where Hammerstone lifted Aerostar high into the air for a suplex/throw type move. Aerostar hit a top rope tornillo and a cutter to even the score. After Aerostar went to the top rope, Hammerstone greeted him with a superplex, bicycle kick, and a release German suplex.

Hammerstone got the pinfall victory after pulling off Aerostar’s mask and rolling him up. For the second match in a row, Konnan exchanged words with someone from Dynasty after the match. In Mexico and most other promotions, pulling off a wrestler’s mask leads to an immediate disqualification. Not sure why that isn’t the case with MLW.
